Mr. Blount, President Cleveland’s commissioner who hauled down the American Flag at Honolulu, is a fit instrument for so unpatriotic a job. He was among those who were trying to down the same flag thirty years ago. He had. better success this time than he did before.

The two greatest needs of Jasper county have long been recognized as better drainage and better roads. Much, very much, has already been done towards supplying both these great needs and when the four great and several smaller drainage projects now under way in the county are completed, the drainage problem will be pretty nearly solved, and with good drainage will come, of necessity, greatly improved roads. And especially will this be case if the people will avail themselves of the grand opportunity to improve their streets and reads that will be afforded by the cutting of the proposed channel through the limestone rocks, in the Iroquois river at Rensselaer. A vast (fliantity of the very best road making material will thus be produced, which can be sold at a cheap but equitable price, and if proper care is taken can be put upon the streets and roads in the right con_ ditidn, without very great expense. It is to the best interests of all our people, in town and country to have .good roads and good streets; also to help along the great but expensive drainage projects now in contemplation. Let us all work together for the good of all and wonderful and be nifieent will be the results.

The buildings of the world’s fair have already c05t51G,708,708,825, or twice the sum expended for the Paris exposition, and more yet must be expended. This does not include the large aggregate sum expended on state and government buildings. The great cost of the buildings is not their most remarkable feature, however, if we can trust the opinions of scores of distinguished artists and architects, from all parts of the world. Nor is it their unequalled magnitude, without parallel since the world began; but rather their wonderful architectural and ariistic beauty and perfection.

DRAINAGE AND GOOD ROADS.

The Board of Commissioners having decided that the Iroquois ditch should be constructed and the rock removed at Rensselaer, to the depth of at least four feet, it is important that steps be taken to make |a home market for the rock material. If crushed it would be valuable to turnpike our streets, highways and turnpikes. If petitions were presented for free turnpikes for a distance of two miles or more, north, sonth, east and west of the town, and petitions to macadamize College street connecting with Washington street at the bridge, Main street to north limit of town; also Van Rensselaer street extending along Grace to east limit, and along section line to west limit of town it would famish a good market for the stone. It is the duty of each citizen to get a move on him to secure not only a demand for the rock but to secure its removal as cheaply and quickly as possible. It is estimated that the improvement will require 20,000 yards of solid rock to be reiloved which when crashed will make nearly 60,000 cubic yards of material, sufficient to make 15 miles of good roads.

TO THE PUBLIC.

World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago, March 30, 1803. To4ae Public: Because of many misrepresentations and misstatements relative to Exposition management and affairs being in circulation through the press and otherwise, both in this country and abroad, and in reply to many letters of inquiry or complaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some official statement regarding them should be made to the public. Therefore I respectfully ask that the widest be given to the following facts: 1. The exposition will be opened in readiness for visitors May 1.

2. An abundance of drinking water, the best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that a charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that liygeia water can also be had by those who may" desire it at one cent a glass. 3. Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge. 4. About 1,500 toilet rooms and closets will be located at convenient points in the buildings and about the grounds, and they will be absolutely free to the public. This is as large a number in proportion to the estimated attendance as has ever been provided in any exposition. In addition to these there will also be nearly an equal number of lavatories and toilet rooms of a costly and handsome character as exhibits, for the use of which a charge of five cents will be made. 5. The admission fee of 50 cents will entitle the visitor to see and enter all the Exposition buildings, inspect the exhibits, and in short, to see everything within the Exposition grounds, except the Esquimau Village and the reproduction of the Colorado cliff dwellings. For these as well as for the 'special attractions on Midway Plaisance a small fee will be charged. G. Imposition or extortion of any description will not be tolerated. 7. Free medical and emergency hospital service is provided on the grounds by the Exposition management. 8. The Bureau of Public Comfort will provide commodious free waiting rooms, including spacious ladies’ parlor and toilet rooms in various parts of the grovnds. H. N. Higinbotham, President.

Chicago Theater Attractions.

The managers of the Chicago'theatres intend to provide plenty of attractions tor toe noraes 01 visitors that will pour into the City for the next six months, to view the wonders of of the earth at Jackson Park. Thp iinfortnnfttfi pxnpricnpps of thA Auv UUlvi vUnitw vA pvi tvuvvo vl vtlu Philadelphia and Paris managers during the terms of the World’s Fairs in those cities seem to have had a stimulating rather than a deterrant effect on the men who guide the fortunes of Chicago’s houses, and there is unshaken confidence that the approaching season will be phenomenal. Every class of amusement, from the cheap and nasty exhibit of the dime museum to the dazzling splendor of the spectacle, will find its patrons in the cosmopolitan throng that is coming to the World's Fair city. McVicker, the “dean” of the managerial corps, will divide the season between the “Black Crook” and the “Old Homestead.” Dave Henderson has arranged to revive bis: burlesque from the “Arabian Nights” down to “Ali Baba.” Lillian Russell and troupe are to sing in light opera at Hayman & Davis’ Columbia. Uncle Dick Hooley will stick faithfully to legitimate comedy and drama. There will be an abundance of farce comedy at the “Grand,” and the manager of the Schillei has the latest “adaptations” by Mr. Frobman. Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, the renowned triumvirate of Grand Opera impressarios, are preparing to put a spectacle on the vast stage of the Auditorium that will attract and astonish theatfe-goers from one end of the country to the other. Only a few details are as yet known about thefpjece, but these are sufficient to stamp it as ihe most colossal, unique and magnificent work of the kind known to the modern stage. Plans for its construction were laid a /ear and a half ago under the guidance of Imre Kiralfy, whose successful management of spectacular productions has gained him international fame.

It comprises a prologue and thirty tableaux, bears the title “America,” and has for its subject the rise and progress of this country from the time of Columbus’ landing to the present. This historic theme 'will be illustrated by scenery, music, ballet and mimetic action. Dialogue will be used to some extent, but will be subordinate to the other features. The scenes, which are described as enchantingly beautiful, were painted in Pans by the corps of famous artists connected with the Grand Opera House.

Antonio Yenanza, a celebrated Italian composer, wrote the entire musical score, and is at present in Chicago, directing the preliminary rehearsals of this particular department::::. : v ' : " • The costumes, exquisite in design and texture, were made in London, Paris and New York, and cost a fortune alone; cost, in fact, does not seem to have been a consideration in the creation of this gigantic scheme. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars will have been the outlay before the curtain rises on the opening night, and heaven only knows what the expense will be thereafter. Seven hundred persons have already signed contracts to appear in the piece. The ballet, numbering two hundred, is to be a vision of loveliness—a ballet worthy the name—fresh from Vienna, Milan and Paris, where the delightful thing was born, and where it now exists in its prime. Luigia Cerale, of the Hos Theatre, Vienna, will be the premiere dancer. Others of no less celebrity, from the other side of the Atlantic, will assist her. The “Coryphees,” who arrived with the chorus from Europe the other day, are a lot of beauties, representing nearly every nation in Europe, principally Italy and France. The principal dramatic and vocal parts will be assumed by Louise Beaudet, Lottie Gillman, Miss Russell, Miss Malcolm, Herr Barnemann and Signors Brighenti, Otavi, Biagirelli and Campana. The first performance is announced for April 17, and the season will continue for six months following that date. «> . : Austin & Co., composed of W. B. Austin, A. H. Hopkins, Geo. K.

In explanation of defeat the Populist! make the feeble plea that the women did it, So much the worse for the Populists, if the revolution against them was so great that it reached the women and aroused them to unwonted, political activity*. But it that in Kansas were having a little political revival on their own account, and that their movement had little to do with ..the defeat of the Populists. The Populists will have no difficulty in finding a real cause of their reverses in their lawless acts of last winter.
