Ollice in Democrat Building. east side of Second Street—ground floor; COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. Address to .Governor Alein P. flove.y auk the General Assembly of Indiana, by ths Cumin teeloners and I.ady Managers and their Alternates for Indiana. Indianapolis. Ind , Dec. 6, 1890. To Ill's Excellency, AltSif.P. Hovey, Governor, anil the* General Assembly of the State of Indiana: On the 25th dav of April. 1890, an Act of Congress was adopte d,'entit ed: ‘-An act to provide for celebrating the four, hundredth anniversary of the discovery ot America by Christopher Columbus, by holding an international exhibition of arts Indus'ries, manufactures and the products of the so l, mine and sea. in the city of Chicago, in the state of Illinois,” and it was by said act declared “that it is fit and appropriate that the fcur hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America be commemorated by an exhibition of the resources of the United States of America, their development, and of lhe progress of civilization in the New World, and that such an exhibition should be of a national, and international character, so that not only the people of our Union and this continent, but those of all nations as well, can participate.” Provision was also made for a Commission, the members of which were recomjnended by the Governors of the several States and Territories, and appointed by the President of the United States, to exe cute the will of Congress so declared. The organization of the Commission has been completed, the site for the World’s Colum bian Exposition has been selected, and located on the most beautiful parks in the city of Chicago, on the shore of LakMichigan, and embracing an areaot aoout one thousand acres. The city of Chicago has, as required by the terms of the law of Congress, provided, by subscription, and the issuing of city bonds for ten million of dollars in aid of the enterprise. The work of preparation has been commenced and is rapidly advancing. The designs of the buildings contemplate an exhibition suit able for, and worthy of, the occasion. The act of Congress, which received support of a very large majority of that body, and of all the members from Indiana except two, hasjcorrimitted our country and the people of the various states to the celebration; a failure would cause us national humiliation; success will gratify our national pride, and at the same time promo'e our prosperity, by attracting the people and wealth of other countries. ■» The Exposition will be international, and universal; international because all nations will be invited to participate; and universal because it will be representative of all arts, industries, p-oducts and manufactures, and all the various results ot human skill, thought and imagination. There will be sprgad out before us the source ot Great Britian's wealth—her manufactures. From France will come ,■ articles of taste and utility, exqui-ite in desigry and perfect in execution. Russia will present her unsurpassed productions in lea'her. Laly will delight and instruct th; New World with her varied and unequaled manufactures. Switzerland with its dedicate wood carving and perfect finepieces will enter into competition. From Spain will come a rare and unexpected treasure—one of the three vessels in which Columbus made his first voyage of discover; , and which now lies submerged in the harbor of Palos. Austria and Venice wifi contribute their rarest treasur s in glass. Japan and China Will contribute their matchless textile fabrics and curious workmanship, ante-dating historic times, while the g'eat Pan-American States will contribute millions to an exhibition of their wonderful resources, and acquaint themselves wi'h the advantages of a more ■•extensive c immercial intercourse with our manufacturers. $ ■ Th# several executive departments of the government of the United S’ates, the Sm thwmian Institute, the National Museuiti. the United States Fish Commission, vfjll exhfbit such inventions, ordi nance's, articles and materials as will best < illustrate the function and administration of the government in time of peace, and its resources 'in time of war. The act of Cong-e s, for the first time in the h’story of the United States, recognizes woman as a factor in the common weal of the country, and provides for the appointment of a Board of Lady Managers, who will have especial charge of a 1 the work pertaining to this department This Board has been already organized and is at work in ad vancing the general interests of the Expos:tion Withip a few days the proclamation will be issued by the President of the United States, notifiying the world at large that the Fair will be held at the time and place named in the act of Congre-s, and inviting fill foreign countries to take part in the great Exposition. * 'phe £|me ‘in t|ie opinion ot t|.e Com tn, Ips fqr the peop’s o.f jjnejiana to depple the post qnd character Qt their state exhibit. The buildings, by the act of Conares--, are to be dedicated in 1893. The approaching sess’on of our

General Assemb’y will therefore be ti e last to sit before the time fixed for the ' dedication of the buildings, and whatever is to'be done under legi lative aid and by ■ state authority, must be done at the ap ' proaching session. While the indeb'ntss of lhe sta'e ha- : grown to an enormous amount, ard the I annual expendi-ure required to . pity the I interest of the state debt, the necessary . x I penses of the benevolent institutions, thadministration of the government, etc., are necessarily very large, yet. we can no' conceive of a greater calamity that could befall the state, than if for any cause she should neglect or fail to make a creditable exhibit of her progressive development, her manufactures, her live stock and agricultural and natural resources, at the com 1 ing World’s Fair. •I Our proximity to the site, our promi nence as. a manufacturing locality secured by the discovery of natural gas, our lead ing position in live-, stock, in agriculture, horticulture and floriculture, and our great fields of coal and stone, our forests of hard wood, all point to the state as one that can take a high position among the Sta’es of the Union at this great Exposition. No proper or creditable display of our resources can be made without a liberal ap propriation by the Legislature, nor with out a law creating a State Commission, with the nower to go forward and provide such display. The fact is, that Indiana has spent very little money in advertising her great resources- or her vast fields of rich agricultural lands, and comparatively few people to-day know anything, practically, of our great natural gas field. A limited part o f the tide of emigration that passes yearly by and over us, could have been secured to Indiana it the facts had only been made known. We have not made them known, and now the time has come when we mu-t decide whether we will remain under a bushel, and subject the state to the jeers and ridicule of the world, by no show, or an inadequate show, at the World’s Fair, or whether we will make a display com mensurate with our great resources, and surprise the world at large by simply showing what we have and what w’e are. The plan being adopted by other states is to create by state law a Board of State Commissioners, composed of two Commis sioners from each Congressional Districtone being from each of the parties, and an appropriation made and placed in the hands of this board, which is charged with the work of making the display and the economical use of the money appropriatedThe Administrative Buildings ’to be placed upon the grounds at the ex.pense of and tor the use of the several states, will have to come up to a certain standard. They need not be uniform ip architecture, but will have to cost about SIO,OOO. The experience at the Centennial Exposition, where many of the states constructed inferior buildings-, has forced the Director General to the conclusion that same standard of excellence should be required. The states first on hand widnod&ubt acquire choice in as-ignment of locati on upon the ground. It is therefore important that early and prompt action be taken by our state. The Indiana members of the World’s Columbian Commi-sion and their alternates, and the Indiana tn embers of the 1 Board of Lady Managers and their alternates, hereby join in a request to you as Governor, to place this question properly before the approaching se ; sim, of the General Assembly, w.th such -'recommendations as you may think the importance of the subject requires, and they respect fully and earnestly appeal to"" the General Assembly to enact such law, and make Mich appropriation, as will secure a liberal and creditable display, of the resources o' the state of Indiana at the Wo: Id’s Columbian Exposition.
