We wish to make this exposition the greatest the world has yet seen. There are many exhibits of great historical value that . will not be sent here by foreign government.

All these, and many other things that might be enumerated, will add interest to the exposition, but they are only possible by the outlay of money. “There can be ntt question,” he continued, “about the buildings of the exposition being ready in time for the opening. They are. now so far completed that any donbt that may have existed upon this point has been long since removed. If it were necessary these buildings could be completed by the 1st of July next This exposition is being laid out on a score much more elaborate than that of 1889 in Paris. We may not be able to excel the French in delicate workmanship and details, as in that respect they have no superiors in the world, hut generally speaking the Chicago eX-4 position will be far ahead of theirs. The French, exposition covered only 200 acres, while this will consist of 600 acres, and over ^^^^^them under cover. Nearly globe will be represented.”

- "LAND BILL" ALLEN. The Great Public who Made Himself Poor While Working for His Fellows, Ends His Days a Public Charge. Columbus, 0., Not. 30.—The great public benefactor, known in history as “Land Bill” Allen, ended his days in the Franklin county infirmary yesterday morning at 0 o’clock, Utter suffering one week from paralysis. Mr. Allen was bom in Windom, Conn., May 38, 1810. In early years his father moved to ‘Rhode Island and he was given an education. He also learned the tailor trade. “Land Bill” .Allen also entered the jounalistic arena, running the Rhode Islander. He married Zena Weaver, and sold his paper and came to Columbus in 1839. He edited the Ohio State Journal and the Cincinnati Gazette for a number of years. Having the “homestead” ideh, that of giving 180 acres of land to every roan who would guarantee to settle on it in the west, he spent 800,000 introducing his plans. In 1863 the great bill was passed in congress, but Allen never took any lands. He moved to Sharon township, this county, and began farming. Shortly afterwards his wife died. Sickness came on the old benefactor, and little by little his property passed out of his possession, being sold for taxes, leaving him at last penniless and helpless in his advanced years. A few weeks ago he was admitted to the Frankly county infirmary, where every attention has been given him and subscriptions were raised all over the country to assist him.

His body is in charge of the superintendent of the infirmary, who will hold it until Wednesday, giving the friends an opportunity to bury him.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. £9.—When Editor R086water, of the Omaha Bee, returns from Washington, where he went with the Omaha delegation seeking the republican national convention, he will find a policeman waiting for him. Yesterday G. M. Hitchcock, editor of the World-Herald, filed a complaint against him charging him with criminal libel, which is a felony in Nebraska. Rosewater recently stated in an editorial that Hitchcock perjured (himself when he took an oath to his alleged circulation.

FOSTEH’3 ASSERTION 3. j| SffeoU of the a«sfeo!t**K PoMey Wpoo * the Treoeaj'j’i Secretary Faster to the present representative of ,-eoobliean finance. Like . Jthert • Who hare preceded him Mr. Foster is careless tie. W#H of hi* asaerlions as bf his argnroeilte. He asserts '•that the act Oi Jigy. iWife commands ne to preserve the partly between gold . ind silver.” Feasibly the secretary has . >ther evidence, of this than has been made public. He will find no such sommand in the statute, nor will he find words that may fairly be so eon3trued. He Will fed an empty declara- i tion that ii-m the polity of the government to maintain the parity between , the two metals, but not a word com- . manding him to do other than to re- ' 9eem “In coin” whatever of the bills Issued in purchase of the silver bullion there may he presented for such re- 1 Semptiori. He asserts that he has obeyed a law shat does not exist, and ' declares: “I am firmly of' the opinion ' that the parity of the two metals can ! be maintained ander the present policy.” It is fair to hold Mr. Foster to these words. Let him examine the • facts and see whether he can in them ' find warrent for either his opinion or his statements. As to the effect of the present policy 1 Mr. Foster may in tirat* learn what has been known to careful thinkers for ages, that no logical reasoning can be : offered for the maintenance of an ar- 1 bitrary legal standard to determine the | value of silver or any other product of 1 man’s industry. Like any other metal, ' silver fluctuates under the influence of ' the law of supply and demand. If Mr. | Foster will review the facts he will 1 discover, also, that since the passage of : the act on which he relies for the maintenance of the parity between the two metals the relation between gold and silver has widened and that the ruling market price of the silver bullion in the possession of the government for the redemption of the treasury notes has decreased more than five million dollars. And if the secretary has not forgotten the rule of three he may amuse himself by figuring out the problem: “If the purchase of seventy million ounces of .silver and holding it as bullion has resulted in the depreciation of its value twenty points what would be the depreciation resulting from the purchase and storage of one hundrd and forty million ounces of silver?” But if the secretary of the treasury desires to make further examination of this subject let him apply to the problem ifl hand the simple rules which he understands to govern the relativity of all commodities. His present contention that the party of the two metals would be better sus^U^f.iL.all nations would unite in HWfc#“&»»Jv8r SS'Sfifcey on the basis of free coinage is but the statement that the larger use of the white metal would cause it steadier demand, and, consequently, steadier price or relativity to gold and all commodities. Let him apply this to existing commodities. He knows that with every twenty-four hours the treasury is adding seven tons, to its vast hoard of silver bullion. Tb.e secretary recog

nizes it as a com moony. >»iu me seriously argue that the steady increase of the risible supply of a commodity can have the effect of increasing its 'selling price? Does he not know that the increase in thia- visible supply is a constant menace to the stability of the price of silver? He does know that every calculation as to the price of wheat and all agricultural products is based on tkq reported “visible supply.” And yet he is undisturbed because the natural result of the policy sustained by his party has resulted as he might have anticipated If he had applied to Biiver common, everyday principles understood aad relied upon by every business man in the country. . Under the policy of his party the reservoir is constantly being Ailed with silver bullion. Already the amount is beyond all possible demand for the metal “as bullion.” But the republican statesman affects to believe that a continuance of this policy must maintain a parity which does not exist and cannot exist under the conditions produced by republican folly.—Chicago Times. A PLEA FOB SILENCE, The Sh*fc of Ohio Wants to Montts rite Pwple. the crimes and follies of the McKinley bill until its repeal is forced. This is what a majority of the people voting since the passage of the bill have said in every instance, but even if it were otherwise, the right of appeal to the majority would remain, and any minority, however small, eould go on in the exercise of it, confident that in the end right will win in Its appeal to the majority, no matter how small the minority, who, as attorneys for the right, plead its was befoie the bar where, under our system of government, injustice, with law on its side, is called to account. Mr. McKinley’s thought in challenging this right to appeal is entirely un-American and alien. It is the spirit Ip which the McKinley bill was forced through a house which had “ceased to be a deliberative body” under the Seed dictatorship. In protesting against the discussion of his bill, Mr, McKinley urges further that discussion should be abandoned “in the face of the fact that it can accomplish nothing.” It is true that the veto of a most radical and bigoted partisan ia in the way of reform at present, but every time a falsehood Is exposed and a wrong denounced, something ia accomplished. Everyone who knows the McKinley bill knows that it cannot stand after it has b’en exposed and its manifold frauds and follies made plain to the people Ever- if the odds against reform were tenfold greater, something be* accomphshod. by keeping^ the truth coasts, befort the pcopia No plea for sa«tce that the author and beneficiaries of the bill can make can be entertained. There can be no ces

If he coming confervas searches out the rusts and other cofispiradee which lave been formed under it, and sends o the republican senate and president inti-conspiracy bills for the remora! of he tuxes which protect conspiracy, the •eto of the republican president will mly make more certain the repeal of he bill R&.S whole. It is perfectly natural that Mr. Metinley should oppose free speech and visit to choke the discussion of this neasure, hut, however keenly he may ^ eel the exposure of it, t his desire for ilexes cannot be gratified. The right >< the poorest as of the richest of the American people to their earnings nust he reestablished; the wrong hrough which the earnings of the loan try’s workers are taken from them tod given to those who have not :amed must be overthrown. Silence is mpossible. Free speech must continue, rhe truth must be told.
