UNAUTHORIZED FAIR PLATS.
Plats Published by 81. Louis Papers
OF the st. Louis Worlds Fair
Were Unauthorized.

st. Louis, Sept. 26.-Chief Architect
Taylor, of the commission of archi-
tects, requested that the following
statement be published, as coming
from him:
"The plats which purported to be
the ground plans Of the Worlds fair
which were published in some of the
st. Louis newspapers this week were
as incorrect as they were unauthor-
lied, and are likely to work serious
damage by getting into circulation
out OF the city as the true plans. The
ground plans Of the Worlds fair have
not yet been given out, and will not
be for two weeks at least. The rea-
sons for this course will easily be rec
ognized MS sufficient. They are.
81. The committee on grounds and
buildings, the executive committee
and the board Of directors must APP
prove the plans before they can be
said to be the ground plans.
"2. Several agencies which are seek
ing CoHctSsiVhs VI SP"Sc io' HiV"o VN-
hibts have declared that II the space
to be assigned them is az designated
on the plat they will see that the plats
are circulated broadcast all over the
world Az this space IL in every case
situated outside the main picture, It
has not yet been axed.
"3. II plans nearly, but not quite
correct, were given out, they would
be printed by the newspapers, and II
changes were made later, as would
be very likely with undigestcd plans,
the newspapers would not reprint the
plat as amended. For this reason II
Is desirable to have the plans as near
ly perfect MS possible before they are
given out"

and behold, most signal and disastrous reversal OF
their plans Roosevelt, of destiny becomes
President, while his successor, Governor Ode, de-
velops ability to rise above aims and standards OF
machine politicians. History emphasizes the exact
ness of Gods justice"
Now We suppose that this ought to be referred
to Senator Patt as committee OF the whole, but
comment may be made in advance of that parlia-
mentary disposition of it. It has not heretofore been
thought that Providence takes such an interest IN
New York politics to the murder OF Fresl-
dent Mckinley in order to rebuke Senator Platt by
the elevation of the Vice President We arein doubt
that President Roosevelt takes that view of it. His
mind perhaps is finite than that of the inspired
Miss Greenwood, and being so, if impressed with
the wickedness OF Senator P1att he would doubtless
drop hint to Providence to get in and convert that
Senator from his wicked ways instead of killing Nc
Kinley. Why it should be considered more con-
genial job for Providence to kill Mckinley than to
soften the heart of Plat and the politicians is what
explain.
Nor is it explained why Providence takes hand
in New York politics and not in Pennsylvania Why
should Senator Quay flourish like the bay tree and
Platt wther like the fig tree when attention
called to its barrenness? Why also should the Rev.
Mr. Swallow, the head of Quays foes and temperance
leader of bis State, be just turned out of the Meth
Od1St pulpit Tor falSehOOd! Perhaps 1t SHOWS the
danger of having Provdental politics in only one
State and leaving the other ortyfour to shift for
themselves.
Miss Greenwood is of the opinion that this His
tory emphasizes the eNactness of Gods justice" But
still it is left greatly dark to the carnal mind why
Mckinley was by that justice condemned to cruel
death, in order to admonish Plat the better selec
ton OF fourth-class postmasers! If that infinite JUS
tice works indirectly TO the carnal mind again it
appears 10 be inferior article ordinary brand
of domestic justice The latter aims at the punishment
of the guilty and the protection of the innocent. It
would let Mckinley, the good man, live out his days
in honor and peace, and would indct the wicked poll
ticians by the Grand Jury of the district and send
them to Sing Sing.
By the carnal analysis of this matter, both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Odell need to sleep
with one eye open, for they not good men, and
do not the wicked still go up and down the earth
seeking whom they may devour? Is there not danger
that the further admonition of the bad may require
the killing of both President and Governor in order
to emphasize the divine plan divulged at Fort
Worth?

POLITICAL PROVIDENCE.

THAT worthy guild the Womens Christian
Temperance Union has just been holding its an
nual conventicle at Fort Worth, Texas. Repre-
sentatives were present from many countries and
the memory of the devoted founder of the order Miss
Willard was abundantly honored in the number in
telligence and zeal of her followers who gathered
there.
On the Sunday that during the sessions the
thrty-four pulpts of the city filled by preach
ing ladies, whose sermons were heard with atten-
ton by crowded congregations Members of all sects
were in evidence The Methodist Episcopal church
South was filled to listen to Unitarian, and Meth
odist filled Presbyterian pulpit. Southern sentiment
was represented by Mrs. Hoge of Virginia and Miss
Belle Kearny of Mississippi, and the voice of England
was raised for righteousness, temperance and the
judgment to come by Miss Christine Tenlng of Lon
don.
The star sermon of this great day seems to have
been preached by Miss Greenwood of New York in
the Christian tabernacle Her subject was Preach
ing the Gospel" and she seems to have taken an
armed excursion into politics, sort of punitive ex-
petition To this there is no objection Interest in
public affairs is of the strong and strengthening
peculiarities of American women They vote in four
States and in one of these, Colorado have taken I'D
office holding with an energy which makes the tyrant
man stand still with surprise, while they pass him in
the race They carry into Colorado politics an in
huence which will command respect though at pres
ent their status is somewhat misunderstood In the
last city convention in Denver they were present
delegates, and manipulated things skillfuy and
ceanly they would dough on the kneading
board. In the same convention man was present in
all his variety, and among them was ward boss,
who INDUCED in freedom of off color expression
that offensive that one of the ladies said:
"You forget that we are ladies' The captain of
hundreds looked at her in surprise and replied: C
are yees ladies'? fought ye was digates
But to return to Fort Worth and Miss Greenwood
She gave the American male politician picking that
he will not soon forget, and in the course of the
operation said: Politicians strove to make Theodore
Roosevelt Vice President that they might remove

would no longer be hindered IN their wicked work
