Late Literary News.

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine to the Pam
American Exposition to study the most
interesting features with view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir Of any
Exposition ever made, from both liter
airy and an artistic standpoint. To "Mr.
Dooley" was committed the case Of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston TO give a bird's-eye view Of the
Exposition in his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray
Butler studied the value Of the Exposition
and It's educational influence. Charles
Y. Turner, to whom was committed the
color-seheme Of the Pan-American, ex-
plains the methods by which he has pro-
dnced such marvellous results. Arthur
Brisbane, in his own incompatible way,
takes the incubator Baby and Niagara
Falls for his subject. Director General
Buchanan contributes a very interesting
paper on the organization of the Exposi-
ton. Prof. Pupin, Co.. David Porter
Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Layinia
Hart, Julian Hawthorn and John Brisben
Walker are among others who consider
the various phases Of the Exposition.
Under the direction Of editors of the
Cosmopolitan los photographs were pre-
pared showing evey variety of architec-
ture and every phase of life not neglec-
ting the midway, at the Pan American. |
These are engraved and printed in style
never surpassed even in The Cosmopol-
itan's high standard OF art.
At Chicago thousands of copies of the |
Worlds Fair number we're sold at one
dollar copy after the edition.-the plates
having been worn out--began to be ex-
hausted. and few copies at the price of |
five dollars--something that has never |
happened in the history of any other Pc
riodical since printing was invented.
The Cosmopolitan's Pan American SOU
venir will be an even finer number than |
that of the Chicago Fair. To those who |
have visited the Exposition it will recall |
vividly in days to come every feature
they have seen and those who are unable |
to go there viii secure such a compre-
hensive view of its main attractions as
will be well worthy of preservation.

State Tribune:
1.-THE Globe Democrat had sought
among all Missourps public men for
one upon whom its assaults would
fall more harmless than another it
could not have found a more fit vic
tim than the present State Auditor.
Its repeated and absurd attacks up
on him create amusement where
they do not evoke contempt. 1t has
turned its batteries upon a public
man who has an especial hold upon
the people.
His fifteen years as chief clerk in
the Auditors Office have brought
him Into more direct familiarity
than any other citizen with the
states finances. He knows them as
well as as be does the alphabet.
He is known everywhere as me-
thodical, palnstakiDg official. Be
sides be is possessed of simple
honesty in which every one who
knows him have implicit faith. The
state is fortunate, IN view ofthe at
tacks upon its credit, in having as
it's principal official in its financial
management a man who has had
such long experience in Office, who
is so familiar with state finances and
who has to such unlimited degree
the confidence of the people.
No man, be he republican or
democrat. who knows the State
Auditor, would believe him guilty
of misrepresentation, or that he has
not an intelligent knowledge OF the
states affairs. The Globe Democrat
does not believe 1t. Hence what be
says about the manner IN which the
moneys ofthe state haye been handl'
cd will be believed even though the
Globe. Democrat waste columns OF
editorial denying it.
The Globe. Democrat is driving a
nail in its coffin IN every paragraph
in which il assails him. Besides 1t
is making itself rIdiculous.
