Tick Chicago Inier-Ocean wants the world’s fair held in that city instead of New York, and devotes a column of its paper to explaining the advantages Chicago has over the other place for .such an exhibition. There is some sense in the idea. The east has already tried its hand at a mammoth enterprise of the kind, with by'no means phe- , nominal suceess, and now the west should be allowed a chance to spread. 7 As we are all to busy ip Fort Wayne to invest in the world’s fair, we are in favor of having it in Chicago. .
