Sitanbnnones wowyo 2HE EVENING STARK bas tne tullest Local Cireulation ef any Newspaper in the Worta, and as an Advertising Jicdiam is worth mere than all tue wiser yuyere fp Washington. —— York Offices Room 93, Tribune Building, Bi An unwillingness on the part of Congress to suthorize at the nation’s expense a national celebration in 1892 at the national capital ought to be definitely ascertained before any offer of bonds in large or small amount is made by the District to meet the cost of sucha celebration. The direct offer of such guaran- tee, not as & device to meet an improbable con- tingency, but as part of the District's original offer, will tend to give a misleading im- of the position of this community fm the matter. The irresistible weight of ar- gument is in favor of national celebration very largely at national expense, if any exposi- tion is to be held at all, and in favor of the na- tional capital as the site, if any selection is to be made. Any contribution which the chosen site may make should be determined in amount by # consideration of the wealth of the com- munity and the local benefits, greater to a com- mercial city than to any other, to be derived from the affair; and it should, of course, be subordinated to the contribution of the nation, which is to control and be responsible for the success of the celebration. The govern- ment has spent thousands of dollars to give the nation representation at European world’s fairs; it can with equal propriety and greater economy spend a larger sum to sustain such a fair within ite limits and bring the cash- distributing tide of travel for the season to ita own shores. Wherever the fair is held the gov- ernment will be a financial contributor. Its ex- penditure st Washington, though it may be greater in the capacity of patron, wiil be smaller in that of exhibitor, since costly structures already display the government exhibits here, and since the additional build- ings erected upon national ground may be retained after the exposition for government use, instead of being sold at a great sacrifice asin the case of other exposi- tions. Ifthe fair is made a national celebra- tion and held at a place whose selection will quiet sectional and trade jealousies and cause all the states and cities to work barmoniously for its success, a surplus like those of the first English and two of the French expositions may be expected. If through any mishap there should be a deficit the nation will receive vast indirect benetits which will justify a national expenditure to meet it. An appropriation to pay this possible deficit may be viewed as @B appropriation under State department ex- penses to bind more closely the diplomatic re- lations of North, South and Central America, Providing the natural sequence of the All- Americas congress at Washington, or as a sub- sidy for the development of commerce with our neighbors to the south, or as an appropria- tion for educational purposes, beneficial to every visitor to the capital, and enlarging the matione! into an international museum. Wash- ington possesses all the requisites of an expo- sition site. Its attractions and advantages are obvious to the members of Congress to whom arguments on this subject are now addressed, Not the least important of its advantages is found in the fact that it furnishes common national ground upon which the sections and trade interests of the republic may meet without jealousy in friendly rivalry on equal terms. It is as such a compromise can- didate that the capital expects in the end to be selected by acclamation, without the slightest thougnt on the part of Congress of mortgaging the property of the present tax payers and of their posterity to meet the expense of the na- tion’s celebration. The Congress centenary today, necessarily postponed from last spring, as there was no special session of the Fifty-tirst Congress, is one of the most important of the many im- portant centennials of the period. The organ- ization of the machinery of agreat government is secondary only to the formation and adop- tion of the fundamental chart on which the organism rests for support. When the First Congress met the experiment of a general gov- ernment which could operate directly upon the citizen, and not through the mediation of a state legislature, was untried. One hundred years of trial have shown the practical wisdom of those framers of the Constitution who yielded their own and their immediate peo- ple’s prejudices for the common good of the nation, With Washington in the executive office, and Jefferson and Hamilton in cabinet, and Madison and Mublenburg and others in Congress, and Jay gnd Ellsworth and Iredell in the Supreme tribunal, the new government had grand start. Its career has been illustrious in the benefits it has conferred upon the Amer- ican people and the civilization of the world, Jobnstown has had another, though less ap- palling catastrophe—tire following flood, as in the biblical prediction respecting the earth’ fate. Inadequate exits and unnecessary panic atatheater believed to be burning did their customary work. It is a brewer case all around. The President Bominates fora Supreme Court vacancy Cir- cuit Judge Brewer, who had decided that brew- ers were not to be broken up in business under the Kansas prohibition law without reimburse- ment to the extent of their plant, and the pro- hibitionists object to the Senate's confirming the nomination. a The Virginia and Maryland’governors settled some oysters today if they have failed to settle those of Hog Island. Janauschek has invented a new dish—saner- krout steeped in champagne. She is distinct- ively and at all times a tragedian, + = ‘The adoption of the proposition, rejected by the Federal Convention, for a committee to revise and expurgate bills for introduction in Congress would remedy some of the ills of na- tional legislation, improving its form and char- acter, reducing its expense, and saving vast labor to standing and special committees, M.
