under its present editors, we can only
Gay that If Mr.. Smith was opposed TO
the bill, we are more than opposed to
it, and We shall try to briefly show
the honorable Dispatch why we OPP
pose any such appropriation.
Past experience-an experience
gained at Chicago. at Atlanta, at
Charleston, and at Buffalo; and sn
experience which will be gained at
st. Louis and Jsmestown-hasp proven
and will prove that expeditions, fairs,
and other things or like character,
are failures when the grand Gusle
and summing-up occurs.
Don't understand us to mean local
or county fairs, for they do not last
more than three or four days, and
the results cannot we'll &c calculated
for such a short time.
But ask the merchants aud bust
ness men of Atlanta, Charleston, and
Buffalo, what effect these exposit;ons
have had upon business in their Sec
ton, and each will tell you that their
sales were very slightly Gf any
greater during their progress than
before And at the close of these
great expositions business became
absolutely stagnant,snd a year or two
was required to get back to the old
order of things.
All the merchants and business
men had been called upon to give
literally to the exposition company.
Their receipts were insufficient to
reimburse them for this expenditure.
Business became stagnant for year
after its close, and the merchants in
that manner lost double the original
subscription.
No. We can't believe in spending
100000 of the States money to
erect n Virginia Building at James
town or any other place.
As to the advertising it will give
the state, history has written as much
Ms is necessary of this kind of mate
rial. The State is living today for
tomorrow, and to spend 100000 to
exploit the follies of yesterday doesn't
fit into our edition of modern sdver-
Using.
Fifty thousand dollars is enough
more than enough-for the State to
appropriate for the jamestown or
any other exposition which exploits
day dead and almost forgotten.
Let us live today
The COURIER would favor al
expenditure of a million dollars by
the State to buy up land to offer al
free sites for mills and factories
to come to the State aud locate
Give such enterprises good sites and
the State will need no further adver-
tisement.
But even $4,000 is too much fol-
the State TO give the jamestown Ter
Centennial.

Monroe Doctrine will look like fod
der stack after a hurricane bad toyed
with it. Ii will be like Mrs. Msla-
prop said Of Mrs. Harris. 'They aint
no sich person Some day the
people viii come TO understand the
course of this administration, which
is remarkable for mischief, aud then
there will be something doing" Let
us hope that the hand of time may
not be too lesden in its movements in
pointing to the hour for this devout-
ly to be-wished contamination.
IL the good people of the country
are expecting the Republican Party
to enact any legislation during this
session of congress that it promised
so faithfully from the stump in the
last campaign, they are doomed TO
sore disappointment. There will be
nothing done except the passage of
the necessary appropriation bills and
adjournment on the 4th of March.
The Statehood bill will be talked to
death in the Senate, all the reciprocity
treaties, including that with Cuba,
will INT ct the same fate, and any man
who asks for a revision of the tariff
at the hands of q Republican Con
gress will get the hoarse boot. This
Republican Congress, or any other
Republican Congress, will do nothing
along these lines until made to do SO
by the force of public opinion
EXPIRE 'sed in tones so loud that all
may lear. 10 the meantime the
people are paying the piper that the
trusts may dance. 1t will continue
to be just this way 50 long as the PEG
pie are neglectful of their duties and
remain away from the polls on cleo
ton days. When will the awakening
come?
Instead of Congress graphing
with the serious problems before it
aud doing business as the country
bad right to expect, it hargs back
and balks at any and every sugges
ton looking 20 the accomplishment
of beneficial Legislation in any direc-
ton. The Republicans act as though
they knew the situation was loaded
but didn't know which was the busI.
ness end, and were afraid to take
hold of it for fear the old thing
might go of. The Democrats are
suggesting legislation with no appar-
ent effect and must content them
selves with waiting for the opposition
policy to show its hand; while the
Repu blicsns are afraid of their Job
aud dread to make move lest they
ZIP their hand and give their oppo-
nents an advantage. And besides all
this, they don't know what to DO,
poor things. They are like the
Pharisees of old; they are waiting for
sign. They are trying to get an
insight in the future. They want to
know what is expedient. But they
have too large contract on their
hands. They are like the msn who
caught the bear and then wanted
somebody help him let go. Their
confidence in the situation is growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully
less. If they dare touch the tariff.
the entire protectionist gang will be
upon their backs. If they tackle the
trusts, every one of the monsters will
be at their political throat. If they
offer any modicum of relief to Cuba
through reciprocity, both of the
above combinations will howl like a
pack of hungry wolves, and this is
the situation" that is keeping the
"bell-wethers" of the G. o. p. mental
ly busy and deeply perplexed.
