The fact is stated as a striking evidence of the interest taken in the coming exposi- tion by the progressive manufacturers, artists and ag- riculturists of the country. It is to be noted, furthermore, that a strong desire iz manifested in the Miss pi Valley States for making at Paris a surpassing agricultural exhibit. Commenting upon this phase of the subject the Chi- cago Times says: “It is contended by those who are interested in sending a creditable agricultural ex- hibit to Paris that we have never had a complete, practical, comprehensive display of the nation's agri- cultural resources at any great exposition. Some of the exhibits from single counties in Nebraska at the Omaha position surpassed the entire agricultural display at the World's Fair.” The statement that exhibits from a single county in Nebraska at the Omaha Exposition exceeded the en- I tire agricultural display at the World’s Fair at Chi- cago may be doubted. It is clearly an exaggeration. None the less, it is true that a thoroughly representa- tive exhibit of the agricultural resources of the United States has never been made, and the Paris Exposition affords a most excellent opportunity to make one. It is therefore gratifying to note Eastern interest in that direction, for a liberal allowance of space for an agricultural display is bound to be of advantage to California. We have at this time three extensive exposition projects under consideration—a colonial exposition at Mechanics' Institute next fall, the Paris Exposition in 1000, and State Centennial Exposition in the year fol- lewing. The three enterprises will not conflict, but mutually assist one another, since each in proportion ill tend to augment pop- ular interest in exposition work and rouse the ener- gies of the people to make the utmost of the oppor- tunities It appears the report given out some time ago that the space allotted to the United States at Paris is larger than that granted to any other nation is a mistake, as the Russians have been conceded more space than ourselves. It is noted, moreover, that the Russians, the British and the Germans have each made more ample provisions for display than we have done. An effort will be made to induce Congress to in- crease the appropriation for the purpose, and some- thing may be attained in that w but aiter all the greater part of the expense of our exhibit will have to ¢ by individuals and by such States as intend nctive State exhibits. That is one more be be to make di reason why Californians should set about at once to | make ready for the work. Since the Mississippi Val- ley is to make a special feature of the agricultural dis- lay. we are going to have a good chance to measure ourselves against that rich and populous section and show all the world what rural industry can accomplish | in California.

THE CATTLEMEN'S CONVENTION. | NE of the most notable industrial conventions | O to be held in the United States during - the present month is that of the cattlemen at Denver. The meeting has been looked forward to with considerable interest not only by stock-raisers, but by meat-packers in all parts of the country, and the results of the discussions promise to be of great value. The convention will be one of more than ordinary | importance to California. Our cattle industry is large, and we have, therefore, great interests to be affected | by what may be done at the meeting. something may be accomplished there to assist in re- lieving the industry in this State of the handicap that now interferes with its advancement and thus tend to make it more profitable than it has been for some time past. The drought which prevailed during the past sum- mer had the effect of forcibly impressing upon the cattlemen of the State the need of a better system of cattle quarantine. The existing laws are grossly in- adequate to the needs of the industry. In his recent message to the Legislature Governor Budd earnestly rccommended this subject as one deserving considera- tion during the present session. Referring to the dis- | astrous experiences of the past season and the work §done by the State officials to remedy the evil, he | said: “The Department of Agriculture has relieved our condition. Its agents, with those of the State, have worked diligently. The quarantine lines, to meet the varying conditions, have been changed, but we have no proper laws to protect these lines. During the dry season I was compelled tc peal to the Governors of other States for permission to transport and feed {inspccmd cattle in their States. Had the cattiemen | of California seen the necessity for action in this mat- ter sooner and aided the efforts of the executive to se- cure the passage of a proper law as recommended, they would not have suffered so severely during the last dry season.” Upon this showing Governor Budd added the very pertinent comment: “It may seem peculiar that a | State which has spent on agricultural societies within la few years $1,054,220 should not have on the statute books a proper law to protect its cattle, horses, sheep or other animals or fowls, yet such is the fact, and under the law public funds cannot be directly used for such protection.” The convention at Denver will of course devote it- self to far wider considerations than those of State quarantine laws, and yet it may devise plans that will result in settling such regulations upon a uniform basis. The principal theme of the convention will be of course the general outlook of the industry, for it is certain that the conditions which once made it so profitable are rapidly changing. The old days when ranges rich in grasses and well supplied with water were abundant have gone by. Cattle-raising is no longer the simple and easy task it was a comparatively | few years ago. Good ranges are now limited. Considerable risks | attend the industry, and science, capital and careful foresight are necessary to make it profitable. The cattlemen have a new set of problems to solve, and the convention will have no lack of subjects to dis- cuss. It is to be hoped the meeting will result in the formulation of plans that when carried out will prove beneficial to the industry throughout the whole cattle- raising region of the Great West. —————— BRITISH COLUMBIAN FOLLY.

There is still a great deal to be done upon the edi- | fice. The rdeling that will be necessary to make the building habitable is bound in future years to cost almost as much as the structure itself has cost. The drainiage should even now be reconstructed and an | adequate systen ventilating intro- | duced. When the hall was planned neither of these things entered into the calculations of the architects. These gentlemen also ignored sunshine. They sccmcd‘ . to have no idea that in San Francisco the sun is an{ important substitute for stoves and grates. Looking back over the expanse of years one can- not fail to be struck by the remarkable inefficiency which has prevailed in the construction of this edi- fice. The City Hall was begun in 1872, and is now turned over about half finished at the end of twenty- seven years. During all of that time work has pro- ceeded upon it with more or less energy. There was one time, about 18735, when the rascals had obtained such complete control over the building that the Leg- | islature was obliged to suspend operations for about | two”years. There was another period of inactivity after the adoption of the new constitution in 1879. But ‘with these exceptions the politicians have con- tinuously worked at the building. | During late years, however, the contractors have been compelled to live up to their agreement, and all the plunder has been squeezed out of the building. | As a rule, since 1832 work on the City Hall has pro- ceeded with care and economy; but architecturally‘ the thing is a botch, and the interior will have to be remodeled if it ever becomes a modern structure. The :amount expended upon the building is not ex- cessive when compared with other public edifices of like character. Still it cannot be called a cheap City Hall. A private individual could take the money that has been spent upon it and build a structure in half | the time much better adapted to the needs of the city and quite as durable and imposing, and make an enormous fortune out of the operation. 1 of heating and There will not be general Graham’s selection of a pickpocket as clerk of the approval of Judge court. No valid objection can be made against the presence of such characters in the Police Court, but they ought'not to be in an official capacity. The man selected by Judge Treadwell to act as bailiff shot another politician just in time to forfeit the job. The new Police Judges have not exercised a fine discrimi- nation. —_— With Dave Nagle and Jack Chinn on the official campaign committee of Senator Stewart there is no doubt that the Nevadan believes in peace even at the price of having to maintain a standing army. At the prospect of another fight there is no doubt the ‘home sickness which had been bothering the Californian boys in Manila vanished. Next to return- ing they would enjoy a scrap. 3 Vandals who mutilate books in a public library are a type of ‘criminals as niean as the writers of anony- mous letters, as cowardly as hyenas, and ought to be kicke~ The article in question declares ‘there are three popular arguments in favor of colonial expansion— one prevalent on the Pacific Coast, one in the Middle West and one in the East. That which is asserted to prevail here is the argument of commercial advantage, that which finds favor in the Mississippi Valley is the gument of national grandeur, while in the East the chief argument is that of a conscientious desire to | fulfill the whole duty of the hour toward the oppressed | people of the Philippines. /\opening of the Provincial Legislature of Brit- h Columbia Lieutenant Governor McInnes, in reviewing the affairs of the province and outlining prospective legislation, announced it would be the policy of the Government to exclude aliens from placer mining, and that the Legislature would be re- quested to enact a law to that effect.

The writer said: “Many of the leading finan- gdew]np i G Spentey. e dlsco"c”c,s | of gold in the province promised to attract to it | thousands of men who would have carried into its wildernesses not only their energy and their labor, | but a considerable amount of capital. These men | would have been the pioneers of civilization and | cleared the way for the foundation of towns and the | construction of railroads. To shut them out is simply | to deprive British Columbia of the most potent allies she could have in her industrial development. The United States, on the other hand, will derive benefits from the law, should it be enacted and con- sistently enforced. By its operation many miners who would have gone into the British Columbian gold fields will be shut out from those districts and will | employ their energies either at home or in developing the resources of Alaska. We shall thus be the gainer | of that much energy and labor. In fact, it would be | to our advantage if the British Columbians would ex- clude from their gold fields not only our placer | miners, but all kinds of miners, and thus compel them to use their capital and their skill in working the mines of their own country. Whether the British Columbian Legislature will enact the proposed law remains to be seen. If they should be so foolish as to shut out the Americans who might have gone there to build up their province, | we may justly retaliate by shutting Canadians out of Alaskan gold fields, but we are not likely to do so. When a rival is committing a blunder he should never | be interrupted nor imitated. —_— " Counties which press their claims against the State for rebates on taxes are simply trying to experience the joy of taking money from one pocket and putting it in the other, although they cannot hope to put in as much as they extract, for the attorneys have not entered into the scheme with any view to the promo- tion of health. ciers of Wall street were afraid of President Harri- son’s position on the money question, and in the eléec- tion of 1892 determined to defeat him for re-election. Cleveland's known affiliation with prominent bankers and operators in the street rendered him ‘an accept- able candidate to Republican as well as Democratic millionaires, and in order to insure his election a fund of $1,000,000 was quietly raised and placed in the ds of Richard Croker, who was requested to ‘put it where it would do the most good.” It was ‘any- thing to beat Harrison,’” and Croker was the instru- ment.” The story continues that Croker used $600,000 to beat Harrison and pocketed the remaining $400,000. Moreover, being aware that leading Republicans were fighting Harrison, he bet $250,000 on Cleveland at odds of 6 to 5 and won $300,000 more. Furthermore, it is added that when the Lexow Committee began its | work in New York Croker was ready to go on the stand, but he was induced to leave the city lest the Republican disloyalty to Harrison should be made known, and the writer concludes by saying, “Croker leit New York, if I am not very much mistaken, in Chauncey M. Depew’s private palace car.” Read in connection with the Outlook’s talk about Eastern conscience and the, devotion of the Pacific Coast to seli-interest, that story, told with so much circumstantiality and detail, has a moral in it so big that you can’t put the lid on. Beiore the Outlook de- livers any more lectures on the dominant motives of the différent sections of the Union, it should look in a while and see what is going on at home. Probably the Democrats who are urged to support Burns will think more of the reputation of the party and the| State than of the chance to participate in a disgraceful responsibility for the Mexican. . i Loy - Pdssi§|y ‘Wwhen the Republicans desire the advice of the Examiner they will ask for it.

He was educated at Grinnell Academy, at Lake Forest University, and at McCormick Seminary. For three years after leaving his theological studies he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Peoria. Within that time he built a new church at a cost of $50,000. From 1890 to 1894 he preached from the pulpit of the First Church in Evanston. where he likewise upreared a new church building. In December, 1894, he succeeeded Prof. Swing at Central Church, Chicago. The new pastor of Plymouth will preach in Brooklyn the same creed he has preached in Chicago. It is the creed of broadest Christianity and humanity, of Beecher, of Swing, of Abbott, of Hillis. Dr. Hillis, like his predecessors of Plymouth and Central churches, is a writer.
