 Not a sentence that Colonel Russell writes about Senator German can be criticised by any fair-minded person. On the contrary, his praise of Cor man is just in every particular and his remarks touching the sort of man that is needed in the administration of the government will be pondered.

tennial will far eclipse any worlds fair yet held. Every person who has vis- tied St. Louis recently has been un- s.inted in praise of the exposition management.
 The work of erecting the buildings and getting things in order has pro- gressed most satisfactorily, and when the exposition gates are thrown open next spring every state in the union will be represented in the great show most of them by magnificent ex- hibits. Birmingham will attract very general attention by its statue of Vul. can, and if the people throughout Ala bama only become aroused and aid in the effort to raise funds for a state exhibit before it is too late a highly creditable display will be made.
 St. Louis will be crowded with visit ors from the time the exposition opens until it closes, and it would never do for them to remark the absence of an Alabama building.
