In the not far distant city of Chicago—for a thousand miles areas nothing in this age of steam and electricity—there should today be great rejoicing. and from this center of jubilation ought to radiate beams of national and intel- Jectual pride which would illuminate even the most distant corners of the republic. The World's Columbian Exposition—planned to commemorate the landing of Columbus on the shores of the western hemisphere and to give proof of the marvelous advancement mankind has made in the intervening four centuries— has been thrown open to the public in an ap- Propriate yet unostentatious fashion. Such a display of the results consequent upon human ingenuity and human industry has never before been gathered together in one place. Other nations have exhibited the work of their hands after a fashion similar to that now operating in the western metropolis, but none ave undertaken on so extensive a scale nor have any met with so much international en- couragement. The toilers of all lands have contributed to the evidences of mortal great- ness, and the people of the United States have, in the main, supported the project with all loyalty. Chicago, wealthfly energetic, and @esirous of showing the world what the new west is and can do, poured ont its gold by mil- lions that the gigantic undertaking might be a success, Upon the shores of Lake Michigan o city—more beautiful than any other in the world—sprang into existence for the shelter- ing of the countless: precious things that have | come frcm every clime, and although the dazzling ‘shiteness of the buildings must soon fade and <he structures themselves speedily de- | cay the mental photographs will remain un- dimmed in the memories of uncounted hosts. | Viewed from any standpoint the Columbian | Exposition is the greatestand most magnificent of ail like efforts that have been made; eclipsing in splendor and extent the beauties and utilities | of the famous Crystal Palace, the Centennial and the latest Paris Exposition. The scream of the American Eagle is harsh, strident, un- melodiour, but he may scream today without | becoming « subject for adverse criticism, ——— Ardent admirers of excessively violent ath- Ietics have heretofore been most inclined toward foot ball because the casualties in con- nection with that pleasing sport have been much more plentiful than in the national game with which so many excellent people beguile the summer hours away, but there is promise of physicu danger in base ball that promises | to rob the winter game of most of its attractiveness. On Friday last nine young men from Harrisonburg, Va., tried conclu- sions with an eqnal number of players from the Staunton Military Academy. The score ‘was 21 to 0 in favor of the Stauntonites, when # Harrisor burg partisan used offensive language to a cadet and bad his head split open with a bayonet scabbard for his pains. A general ¢: gagement ensued in which everybody was dam- aged toa greater or less extent. If, this exam- ple proves to be contagious the sun will soon | ‘set on the popularity of football in the United States. In Great Britain, however, the game will contirue to be played. In that country, during the last season, there resulted from foot- bail some twenty-six deaths, thirty-nine broken Jegs, twelve broken arms, twenty-five broken collar bones and seventy-five other injuries; and cricket can never produce such a record as that. —__+eo—__ A grave inj ‘bas been done the state of Bouth Carolina by the Baltimore Sun. It is charge@ that some of the state whiskey, “sub- fected to careful government inspection, sold by regularly-appointed government officials in original packages, each bearing official certifi- cates,” ceused = North Carolina railroad engineer to see, in place of the time-honored snakes, ten miles of woolly caterpillars, cover ing toa depth of two inches the tracks upon which his train was ranning. It may be that such diminishing results will follow tae oper- ations of the State liquor law, but they cannot have occurred yet for the statute has not com- menced to work. If, however, the liquids which are to be dispensed under the Tillman Yegime wili transform snakes into caterpillars then the South Carolina legislators builded better than they knew and are entitled to the thanks of » grateful people who can tolerate caterpillars but who abominate snakes. ee American musicians have a grievance. The Official programs for the world’s fair concerts up to June 23 have been issued, twenty-three imall. Ani there are but two American com- positions in all of the many selected by Mr. ‘Theodore Thomas. It isto be presumed that noone looked for = preponderance of home- made productions, but somebody —Mr. Thomas Will do—should be required to arise and ex- plain why there has been such gross discrimina- tion. a +2. Secretary Carlisle will not err if he, on behalf ofthe United States, presents gold life-saving medals to Robert Halfyard, Richard Hunt and | John Lloyd, seamen on board her majesty’s | ship Blake, who yesterday plunged into the | ough and swiftly tidal North river and reseued three people who were almost drowned. The plucky bluejackets risked their lives and should Teceive sucia thanks as this government always tenders the brave. - te] The old-fashioned hen-egg hailstones will re- €eive little or no attention this world’s fair Year. At Alton, {ll., yesterday the icy globes were large as oranges and one of them was said to be more than seventeen inches in circumfer- ence. A few showers of such, dropping on the ice trust, might result in great popular ben- eft. oe Yesterday furnished a fair sample of the sort ef weather that might confidently be counted pon for presidential inauguration indulge in 4 Hibernianism—the 4th of March were changed to the 30th of April,—as it ought to be. Who votes nay? and why? | North Pole in July. French scientist of some eminence insists that such electrical shocks a¢ are administered in New York do not kill; that the supposedly dead may be resuscitated by the means commonly used to restore those apparently drowned; that dissolution comes through the surgeon's knife, used at the post-mortem examination. If these statements be true—and the proba- bilities are that they are not—we shall be com- pelied to return to first prineiples in the mat- ter of capital punishment. Decapitation is the most rapid, the least painful and the most cer- tain. A decapitated criminal is dead, and all the science on this terrestrial ball cannot breathe the breath of life into either of the two severed portions of his frame. There are some distasteful features in the old ax and Model Shoes Ar Asovr block fashion, and people who are complacent as to neck-breaking and suffocation shudder at the thought of the guillotine, but the latter, sanguinary as its surroundings are, is un- doubtedly the most merciful of the many in- struments which offended society has to use for its own protection. ——_—_+-e2—____ Harrison Reed is going to sue Judge Me- Connell. He ought to; and if a jury made up of anything other than century-old mis- anthropes ever gets a chance to act its verdict will look as though the appear- ance of Judge McConnell’s salary was spoiled for somo time to come. The cir- cumstances which brought about the pros pect of litigation are most distressing and their publication cannot but result in the outflow of much sympathy for the unfortunate plaintiff. Mr. Reed was to have been married last Tues- day evening toa Logansport, Ind., belle. He was on his way to the flace of ceremony when a deputy sheriff took possession of him and rushed him to the cirenit court, there to do duty as a juror. There Reod stated the facts to Judge McConnell and asked to be excused, but the judge was obdurate and kept Reed hard at work for three days. As oon ashe was re- leased tho unfortunate man hied him to the home of his disappointed sweetheart, but in- stead of being welcomed he was driven away with reproaches and epithets simply because he did not refuse to do the court's bidding. Failing to secure a wife Reed seeks damages from the judge. He may get a verdict in the lower court—no one can tell what an Indiana jury | will do—but the chances are that the only one who will make anything out of the case will be Mr. Reed’s counsel. This is a cold world, full to the bung with disappointments and sorrows, and,although the great popular heart wiil throb in unison with the aortal movements in Mr. Reed's framo, the law governing jury duty will hardly be changed, nor will the courts be com- pelled to excuse a man who pleads @ matrimo- nial engagement. But Judge McConnell is a horrid thing anyhow. ———__e2—___ ‘The days of hero worship have not gone for- ever.
