Crark, Notary Public. ———— The present world’s fair in Paris promises to excel, in the way of a dilatory beginning. any- thing of the same sort yet done in Europe. Although the French people have been at | work at this exhibition for at least two years. they have been unable to keep their engage- ment to open the whole of it to-day. As usual, American energy has been equal to the task of getting ready, and pretty nearly everything in our branch of the exhibition will be in place when the muitit«de are admitted to inspect it. As usual, aiso, the products of American in- ventive genius will be the most conspicuous part of our showing; in steam machinery and agricultural implements we have long been pre-eminent, and in electrical engineering it is believed that we shal! zasily lead the nations this year. Indeed, Thom: A. Edison is said to have special exhibit of his own which im many respects will be the most wonderful thing in the exposition. The present exposition is of especial interest to Americans because the United States gov- ernment was the only one of the great powers which officially recognized it. It is perhaps too much to ask that the governments of Eng- land and Germany and Austria and Russia, as such, should assist with cheerfulness in cele- brating the overthrow of the monarchical sys- tem in France or anywhere else; and their re- fusal,followed by the withdrawal of their diplo- matic representatives, on one excuse or an- other, from Paris during the opening exercises, ought not to astonish anyone. The French, however, undoubtedly regard it as a snub direct, and are chagrined by it. Unfortunately, their indignation seems to be venting itself all around. America, thongh filling a larger space than any other country except England, 1s treated with scant courtesy in the preliminary arrangements, Where her glory will doubi- less come in, as has been the case ever since the Hyde Park fair, in 1851, will be at the dis- tribution of prizes; and there. in every depart- ment of strictly useful activity, she will stand well at the head of the list. ——— : a By the law the Commissioners are prohibited from permitting any additional wires to be erected or maintained on or over any of the Streets or avenues of the city of Washington. It is charged that this law is being violated fn many cases. It is admitted in one case, that now in controversy, that such wires are being erected in the alleys. The duty of deciding | immediately whether alleys are included in the meaning of the law. and of examining the charges of alleged violation of the law in other | cases, falls at once upon the District authori- | ties. The direct responsibility of preventing | the erection of such wires as they find to be Prohibited by the law rests upon the Commis- sioners; and as a logical result of that respon- sibility comes the duty of removing such over- head wires as have been illegally erected. Will our Commissioners exhibit the nerve of Mayor Grant in this matter? | feoecas i!

The importance of standing well with her colo- nies is probably found after consideration to outweigh any advantages on the continent which could be obtsincd by England through Yielding to Bismarck in this matter. England cannot afford to have Australia avowedly look to the United States instead of to her as the protector of Anglo-Saxon interests in that sec- tion of the globe. ———— Jay Gould gives expert testimony for the de- fense in the case of the people against the “plutocrats.” ——_—— += ——_____ New York is so well pleased with the finan- cial returns of the receut centennial, notwith- standing loose methods of management, that it | is casting covetons eyes upon the Columbus centennial, the Three America’s exposition. which is announced for Washington in 1892.
