ONLY BEST ATTRACTIONS
OFFERED BY BARNUM SHOW

1t is no mere figure OF speech to
state that the names "Barnum & Bail
ey" are synonymous with the terms
biggest and best" as applied TO amuse-
ment institutions. Those names at
once convey the idea of the greatest
show on earth and no one questions
the fact that it is the standard by
which all other exhibitions are meas
ured. This is true not only in this
country but also throughout the world.
Ii is no eXaggeTation to states that this
fact is generally recognized every
where, and the position OF this eXhi-
bition in advance of all others is quite
as secure as the altitude of the Rocky
mountains is superior to the hight of
the foothills of the Alleghenies. AS it
well known. Barnum & Bailey's great
est show on earth has just made num-
erOus trips 20 foreign lands. 1t has
visited every one of the five continents
of the world during the years it has
been under the ownership and control
of James a. Bailey. Its last and long
est trip was concluded only last fall
when it returned home to America
after spending five years abroad, dur
ing which time it exhibited both sum
mer and winter throughout Europe.
In addition to the enormous monetary
consideration this trip was of incalcuI-
able value 10 the exhibition by reason
of that fact that it made MIR. Bailey
acquainted with every act. animal, nov
city, innovation and feature Europe
possesses. Of course it is understood
the moment anything strange, curl
Gus, rare or valuable is produced any
where in the world il is at once taken
for exhibition to Europe first and then
To- America. This personal expert
ence of Mr.. BaileyS has enabled him
to make the most judicious selections
in everything to make UP the greatest
show on earth and his practically limit
less capital enables him to secure fca-
ures of all sorts that are simply impos-
Sible Ia other ShOwmen. AS a mere;
matter of business policy, he would
not permit any other manager to Sc
cure any sort of novelty or feature
if he wanted it first. No
other manager has the facili-
ties, the experience, nor the means
70 make first selection or outbid him.
The result is an exhibition easily twice
as large as any that has ever been seen
in this country. not excepting even the
Barnum & Baily show in former years.
But the main thing TO be considered is
the quality of the show. 1t has kept
pace with the increase in size and il
is entirely safe to assume that no such
exhibition has ever been seen in this
country as the Barnum & Bailey show,
which will be seen when il exhibits
here July %.

Of our common country means con
fusion, distraction of business and the
reopening of wounds now happily
healed. North, south, east and west
have but recently stood together in
line of battle from the walls of Pekin
to the hills of Santiago, and as sharers
of common glory and common des-
tiny we should share fraternally the
common burdens.
We therefore deprccate and con-
denim the BourbOnlike, selfish and
narrow spirit of the recent republican
convention at Chicago. which sought
to kindIe anew the embCrs of racial
and sectional strife, and we appeal
from it TO the sober common sense
and patriotic spirit of the American
people.
Republican Administration De-
nOUnced.
The existing republican administra-
ton has been spasmodic. erratic, sen
sational, spectacular and arbitrary.
1t has made itself satire upon the
congress, the courts and upon the set
tied practices and usagcs of national
and international law.
II summoned the congress into
hasty and futile extra session and vir-
tuaIIy adjourned it, leaving behind its

endarS and unaccompliShed tasks.
II made war. which is the sole pow
or of congress. without its authority.
thereby usurping one of its fundamen-
tai prerogatives. 1t violated a plain
plain treaty obligations. international
usagCs and constitutional law; and
has done so under prCtcnse of eXecu-
| ting a great public policy which could
| have been more easily effected law
| fully, constitutionally and with honor.
II forced strained and unnatural
constructions upon statutes, usurp-
| ing judicial Interpretation and substi-
tuting congressional enactment in the
decree.
1t withdrew from congress its Gus
tomary duties of investigation which

terror of evil doors.
1t conducted a secrctive investiga-
ton Of its own and boosted of a few

abuses. and kept in power the superior

the crimes had been committed.

Appeal tn the Country.
Conducting the campaign upon this
declaration of our principles and pur-

the support not only of our great and

Recent Rains Helpful.
Recent rains have had a noticeable
effect on the river, which has risen in
the past week; however. today a slight
fall is indicated. With the stage of

President Otto Gramm of the board

that fear is dispelled for the next year,
at least. and the gallant officer will be
retained on the staff of the university.
