THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTOX: If the present scare in respect to the finances of the world’s fair is intended to arouse Chicago to the necessity of raising more money by private subscriptions in order to meet ex- penses before receipts begin to come in, no- body can object. Chicago is credited by the na- tion with the pride and public spirit which will respond to such a showing, and very few peo- ple indeed will apprehend any danger of a fail- ure on the part of the city to carry out its un- dertaking. But if on the other band the scare is intended to serve as the basis of an applica- tion for assistance from the national govern- ment and the alarming statistics amount toa showing in bankruptey by Chicago in the matter ‘of the world’s fair, then there will evidently be vigorous objection. The exposition was re- fused Washington, the proper place for holding it, and given to Chicago on the ground that merely the loan of the nation’s name and a government exhibit would be required by the latter city. It is evident now as it was evident at the time of the decision that if the nation should determine to conduct the exposition, to any considerable extent at public expense, then the national capital should be the scene of operations. While Chicago’ tory could hardly fail to give a certain local com- plexion to the fair,the national project in its full- ness being defeated, nevertheless the tendency has been to bring to the support of the project national pride, and to view it, outside of its financial features, as a national concern. This sentiment concerning the exposition has not, however, been unanimous The states which unpatriotically linked support of the fair with defeat of the elections bill made the fair a foot- ball of politics, and distinetly repudiated any national obligations in respect to it. It will be wise in Chicago to carry out to the letter the representations made when the fair was won. An appeal to Congress for aid to the extent of five million dollars can only be justified as an admission of pecuniary inability to make good the city’s promises and as a suggestion of the only means available of preventing the collapse of the project with the accompanying discredit to the nation. In view of the indications of indifference to the fate of the fair 8 a national project, to which reference has been made, it is somewhat doubtful what Congress would do if Chicago should attempt to shift the exposition npon the shoulders of the nation. A vigorous effort by Chicago to meet the difficulties of the situation unaided would, every one believes, be success fal, and those who know best the spirit and re- sources of the western metropolis are the most certain that this effort will be made. ‘The drawing of new sectional lines seems to bave begun. The first movement of this sort in the history of the republic that amounted to auch was over the proposed surrender of the Mississippi river to Spain in exchange for com- mercial advantages. The last movement, which has more in it, is a proposition for a convention of all the trans-Mississippi states and territories and Ohio, indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ili- nois, Kentucky and Tennessee. The scheme is declared to be non-partisan and originates in the senate of Kansas. It contemplates a com- mercial congress of the Western agricultural and mining states and excludes the strictly manufacturing states of the East and the cotton and sugar growing states of the South. The Purpose seems to be to procure legislation in the Congress of the United States deemed to be necessary for the communities ited. The movement is purely industrial. If it should be confined rigidly to the objects i there would be no objection to the agitation in any quarter, since the common interests of our Union are composed of the various separate interests. But the promoters in Kansas and elsewhere ought to beware of setting the nation by the ears in sectional controversies, pro- nounced by the Father of the Country to be dangerous and so demonstrated by the history of the republic from the beginning. _ The Commissigners are going to have a map made showing the grade crossings in the Dis- trict not now guarded, in order to compel the erection of gates and the presence of watch- men. Red spots on the map might indicate where the blood of grade-crossing victims has been spilled. This move for information is s good one, and official action in the matter should not cease until every crossing in the District is made safe at night, when many of them are now neglected, as well asin the day. ‘The Commissioners can absolve themselves from responsibility by enforcing the law, and recommending any necessary amendments of it. The duty of removing these grade-cross- ings, as far as practicable, rests upon Con- grees. The caly perfectly silo rede crening is one that has been abolished. Congress has neglected its duty and its opportunities to save life by its intervention, and it shares with “the murdering corporations” responsibility for future bloodshed at grade crossings, ——S Senator Stewart has failed and Representative Bland has failedto tack an incongruous free coin- age amendment toan appropriation bill. ‘That there is a majority in both branches of Con- ‘grees in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver appears to be admitted along with the apparent impossibility of getting some of the silver republicans in the House to violate the rales in order to secure what they would wish tosecurein an orderly manner. The tactics of the extreme silverites are bold and shrewd, but neither coercion nor persuasion has availed. It ia a signisicant fact that some of the enemies of the elections bill who are not unfriendly to silver are well pleased with silver's defeat yes- ‘erday because they think that if the move had succeeded the same instrumentality would have been employed to secure the passage of the elections bill. ————+>—______ Senator Dawes enlists enthusiastically in be- half of sfree public library for Washington, and will give to the movement the impetus of his vigorous support. The project promises to commend itself to Congress as readily and as completely as to the prominent men ontaide of Congress, from whom favorable expressions of vpinion hare been obtained. —$—$<—$—— The Obio legislature having received a reso- lution instructing Senator Sherman to resist the admission of C. 8. Brice to the Senate, quietly placed it in the hands or inside pocket of & committes of one democrat, where it will no | doubt remain until Mr. Brice is seated. ——_ The horrible warning of the example of the British minister's predecessor applied to inter- Viewers as well as to deceptive letter-writers. Verily the guilelees representatives of Great ‘Britain in America walk among pitfalls. = The Virgmia Midland Railroad Company have acted wisely in deciding to double-track their line from Alexandria to Orange. A single ‘wack on an important line is a death trap fo™ every square foot of surface. The Arkansas legislature iomaking a search- tag inquiry into the state treasury in order to discover where that money has gone. The selon do not want to walk home at this season. of the year, and they can't wait till summer. ee ‘They have mastered the art of how not to elect United States Senators in some of the western states. — oe ‘There are some “riders” that are unable to mount, it seems.
