ing of pride in the state fair, although
but a small fraction OF them ever at
tend. The Milwaukee exposition and
the county fairs have, in a measure,
crowded out the old time state ex-
hibit, and the latter, which Is al
ways distinctly agricultural, is rec
opnized as the farmers convenient
meeting place.
Many counties In the state have
established reputation for excel
lence, both in the way OF manage
ment and exhibits, and local pride
has been, and will continue to be, the
incentive.
With due respect to Milwaukee, it
is safe to assume that the people
generally do not favor an extrava-
CANT appropriation for the purpose Of
supporting the state fair in the
Cream City. Many people thought
il was mistake when the fair was
permanently located on the lake
shore. While the city is easy OF ac-
cess and possesses some advantages
that small inland cities are deprived
Of, the fact remains that the location
is at one side of the state, and the pa
tronage from the country districts Is
less than is accorded to some OF the
county fairs in the interior.
The Gazette believes that the state
fair should be encouraged, to when
the Tribune agrees, with proviso
that such encouragement be on the
same basis AS other fairs are "encour-
aged" and in pro rata amount,

Il .ELOAIING EXPOSITION.

The Hon. O. P. Austins idea of a
the United States is a notable one. The
fair or exposition, says Mr.. Austin, is
dependent for its success upon the
number of people it can attract to it's
doors, the travelling salesman repre-
sents but a single establishment or in
dustry, the commercial museum con-
veys its information only to the seller,
and not to the buyer, and the CONNER
cial mission gathers information re-
garding the wants Of distant peoples,
but is unable to offer them samples of
the goods which it's own people have to
meet those wants. Why not, asks Mr..
Of these various aids to commerce in
single great enterprise-a floating ex
our merchandise to the very doors of
the people whose trade we would fos-
lcl, diiu, Wy pliiiSiH5s lHC buScl ain
seller into personal contact, establish
such mutual understanding Of wants
and conditions as to facilitate the in
tercharlge for which each is DESTROYS.
Mr. Austin's idea Is that the loan of
half dozen Of the government trans
ports might be obtained, which could
be fitted up as Exposition ships A
convoy Of "a naval vessel or two"
might be obtained to add dignity to the
show, and this floating Exposition,
starting from the eastern coast of the
United States, would visit Porto Rico,
Cuba and others Of the West Indies,
then along the coast Of Central and
South America, round Cape Horn, and
by way Of Hawaii to Japan, Korea,
the Philippines, Siam, China, Asiatic
Russia, Java, Australia India, Persia,
Arabia, Africa, the Mediterranean and
the cities Of western Europe, returning
to New York .in two or perhaps three
years.
Such an exposition expedition would
be fun alive for those who could get
good pay for going on it. 1t would also
be instructive to the foreigners who
might see 1t. Perhaps it might expand
our trade some.

TEMPERANCE IN UsSTA.

If men can be made temperate by
law Russia will soon be an example to
other countries, for the law has strong
arm in Russia. The Russian govern
ment has abolished all spirituous licucr
saloons in the Empire east of the Crals
except at Moscow, where the abolition
is to take place next year. In Siberia
the reform is deferred until 1903. No
body now has right to sell spirituous
liquors in Russia. The manufacture of
such liquors is still permitted, but the
State handles the product of the dis
tilleries, refines it in its own mills and
delivers it to the public with the impe-
rial stamp on every bottle. The con-
sumner can bring the bottle back and get
a small rebate upon it, and as there are
now ninety million bottles in circula-
vodka Ga whiskey made from potatoes
or rye) is still very great. The State
in public The purchaser must carry
the bottle home and consume the
liquor on his own premises. If he is
seen drinking on the road or in any
public place he is liable to a fine of
from $3.50 to $40. One salutary effect
of the new order Of things is to release
the peasant from the grip OF the saloon
keeper, who formerly allowed him to
run up a big bill for vodka and then
took over much or most of his crop at
harvest The material improvement of
the country is said to be everywhere
noticeable and deposits in savings
banks have increased. Temperance
houses for friendly assembly have been
opened, well-disposed individuals hav-
ing endeavored to provide a substitute
for the saloon.
A Temperance reform" has been bad
w needed in Russia, and it is cheering
that such a promising one has been
started.
