AuruMN's FLaUNrING BANNEHs

The country, field and forest, is in al
its glory now. The browns Of the
fields are broidered with the flaming
woodlands. Down in the mirey and
noisome places of the swamps there
bursts forth a glory that only Nature
when in a happy mood can produce.
Every twisted and gnarled gum tree
seems 10 be bent on showing the posi-
bilities OF the spectrum Reds. pur-
pies, yellows, greens-thesa in all Ios-

banners of the woods. The birds pause
a moment before alighting, for fear OF
scorching their little feet, but it is only
the genial warmth CT the summer suI
which the leaves have garnered up. and
now fiGunt in the grim face OF winter.
Thus the foliage of summer makes |
brave show before departure, and thu

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Decency at FAIRS


From the New York Tribune.
An earnest effort is being made by
some OF the best friends Of that enter
prise to have the coming Worlds Fair
at St Louis, kept free from some OF
the indecent and immoral features
which have marred other exhibitions.
1t is announced that the Board or
Women Managers has unanimously
adopted strong resolutions against the
admission OF Midway" dancing shows
and similar debaucheries. Whether or
not the protest will be headed by the
supreme authorities OF the fair is yet
to be seen. But it may be said plainly
that 1t ought to be needed and ought
TO prevail, and that nothing could more
commend the fair to popular fevcr and
support than an assurance that it Is to
be in all parts clean and decent and
Mt TO be visited by self-respecting men
and women.
It is probably inevitable that large
amount of social Generalization shall
accompany every large fair. The Cen
tennial Exhibition OF 1876 flooded
Philadelphia with vice to an extent
from which that city has never recov-
cred. Whether or not Chicago was
made worse than II had been by its
Columbian fair may be an open ques-
tion. But beyond doubt the notorious
Midway" orgies of that enterprise
through their performance there and
their repetition and imitation else
where, caused an incalculable amount
OF moral corruption throughout the
whole land.

Discussions now current in educa-

attention once more to the imminent
