The wor.- 49, not take very kindly
to the idea of a great exposition at
St. Louis, but it's dedication shows that
the fair has attained a position of
prominence and promise, not only in
this country but throughout the world.
At first many objected to the holding
of such a fair in q city which is always
so hot in summer and which has been
so VIGOROUSLY corrupt in politics. 1t
was held, and with justice, that the
fair business was being overdone. But
there has been a remarkable growth in
public interest," particularly in Europe,
whose powers are at this time par
ticularly anxious to ,propitiate this
country The unprecedented pros
perity guarantees great industrial eX-
hibits. 1t will be on a larger scale
than any preceding exposition, but its
management has much to do if it is to
be ready for the 'pu5lie~When another
May comes around.

Until King Edward VII and Presi-

it had been almost four centuries
since IN English King had visited the
head OF France. The last such meeting
was 4. 1920 wh4l Henry VIII met
Francis / on the field of the Cloth 4of
Cold. Both countries have changed
much since then, and France vastly
more than England. Though no
English king has been in France since
then until Edwards visit, it is recorded
that when a young Queen, Victoria

Napoleon III and Empress Eugcnie, the
latter for the past quarter century an
exile in England.

There has been some controversy in
regard to the effect of the law passed
by the Legislature providing for the
payment of Il bounty on porcupines.
one wise man has given It as his
opinion that the Maine animal that the
law was aimed at is Il ''hedgehog," not
Il ''DOrcupine." The curator of the Ma
tional Museum at Washington ought to
be authority on this subject and we
quote description attached to a speci-
men on exhibition there: "Erethizon
Dorsatus. The American Porcupine
often enormously called hedgehog, -
inhabits the heavily forested regions
of Northeastern North America. 1t is
mostly an arboreal animal, feeding on
the bark and twigs of trees. Though il

heavy quilted tail it is unable to pro-
Ject the quilts from any part of the

A New Haven student of the lynch
ing problem has gathered figures which
convey an impression that the disparity
between the number of cases where
negroes were the victims of mob law
and of those in which whites suffered
is much less than generally supposed.
The total number of negroes lynched
in the II years was 1872, and Of
whites 1,o56. This is yearly average
of 50 IL illegal executions of negroes
and of 50 of whites. But this averag &c
of almost three lynchings a week di-
reefs attention to the fact that the av-
erage for the 21-year period is much
greater than the actual figures now,
and is caused largely by the number Of
lynchings of white persons during the
carly sos for horse and cattle stealing
in the West. The proportion of ne
groes to whites lynched of late years
bears little relation to the general av-
erage for the period under inVestiga-
ton. The visitation of mob violence
upon whites is rare nowadays. One
thing which the figures show is that
there has been continuing decrease
| in the number of lynchings since 1892.
This has been coincident with the ex-
tension OF education and the stricter
enforcement of the law, thus offering a
hope that if mob rule cannot be sup
| officials il will yet be eliminated by the
| force CT an elevated public opinion.
