WORLDS FAIRS.

We think II Is wrong to assume that
there is boycott against the Panama
Pacific exposition just because Great
Britain and Germany have decided
be pretty generally realized that this
world STAIR business has been badly
overdone. Since 1893. about every
United States city Of prominence has
found some occasion by which to ad-
vertise itself through the medium of
worlds fair On a less extensive
scale, foreign countries and cities have
rushed to form the habit Government
patronage has been accorded, in Amer
lea, to each of these fairs, and the
drain upon the treasures of partici-
pating states has always been heavy,
1t Is question if the money might
not have been spent to better advan-
tase. The states are beginning to re
same course Of thinking going on
among the foreign nations. The end
has to come some time, and Great
Britain announces that her merchants
and manufacturers think the end has
come now, that they are unwilling tc
spend the money for an exhibit which
would be required to make the exhibit
a good one. We had not heard of it
that we remember, but we are told
that there was an international agree
ment formed at Berlin that there

this agreement and the disposition of
her business men as the reason for her
