A FINANCIAL FAILURE.
It ia now plainly apparent that the
world's fair is not proving the financial
success which its promoters had hoped
to find it. The Chicago exposition was
built up on a grand scale, probably a
grander one than the world will see for
some decades, if ever again, in this
country. The architecture is on a stu
pendous scale of magnificence, and it
can almost be said that no expense has
been spared to create an exposition that
excites the just wonder and admiration
of all who have visited the fair.
All this effort, however, took money.
It is estimated that between $20,000,000
and $30,000,000 were needed to produce
the exposition of 1893, and it is known
that but a small part of the sum was
contributed by the government. A far
larger portion was obtained by sub
scriptions from those who held at one
time the hope that the investment
would yield a fair return. How baseless
that hope has proven as yet may be
learned from the reports of the auditors.
In spite of the stories of large attend
ance on various days, it appears that
the receipts of the exposition do little
more than suffice to meet the running
expenses. As yet there seems to be no
immediate prospect of making any profit
which will serve to reimburse those who
subscribed so largely to the exposition
fund as an investment, and it is to be
supposed that the investors are already
beginning to despair of .getting any con
siderable portion of their original sub
scription back.
Apparently the managers of the fair
already realize that many people who
might otherwise have attended have
been kept from the exposition by causes
which can be remedied. The lack of
iree seats and cheap restaurants was a
potent factor in keeping people away,
and it now appears that the old order
of things in that respect is being changed
foi the better. Railroad charges are
still excessive and paevail to keep a very
large proportion of people throughout
the United States away from the expo
sition. With a grant of reasonaable
railroad rates the finances of the fair
may begin to show a better aspect, and
the friends of the exposition should use
every effort to secure a reduction of such
rates. '
A ranting aggregation of high-sounding
words and phrases, false and mis
leading in every line, have been pro
mulgated as the "platform" of the city
democrats. Its pessimistic construction,
by a little ring styling themselves the
city democrats, will be repudiated by
the real followers of that party here.
The city finances are not in such a state
that the "encumbrance of property
verges on confiscation by taxation," as
there lugubriously stated. Warrants
are worth 100 cents on the dollar ; there
are no bonds out which have to be paid,
and no loan contemplated. Talk about
confiscation is rot.
"You say that the victors should have
the speils?" said Grover to an office-
seeker from the state of Washingon
"Why, yes, Mr. President," was the an
swer; -'if the victors don't own them,
who does?" "Very well," said the
president; "in what wav were the
Washington democrats victors last No
vember? You sent me no electoral
votes, and I note that the state officials
and the legislature out there are repub
lican. Applying your maxim, I find'
that I am the only victor in the case,
and therefore the spoils belong to me.
I shall dispense them to suit myself.
Good day, sir. Don't come again."
The best mayor we ever had is the
present incumbent, Hon. Robt. Mays,
and we are much pleased to authorita
tively state that he will accept the nom
ination if tendered him tonight. Mr.
Mays services are invaluable to our city
and we hope the sentiment will be rati
fied by an overwhelming majority.

IT WAS ECOB.
The BricB Decision Was Too Much for
Pastor and People.
The sensation ot yesterday, says an
eastern paper, was the stand taken by
Rev. J. H. Ecob, D. D., pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church in this
city. It was known that he sympa
thized with Dr. Briggs in bis recent
treatment by the general assembly, but
it was not not thought he would go so
far as to withdraw from the Presbyter
ian church. He took that step, and his
church will probably be with him and
act independently hereafter, leaving
open the question of connection with
some other denomination.
In Dr. Ecob's opinion now is the time
for liberal Christians of all churches to
come together. His sermon outlined
the steps that led up to the final action
of the assembly.
"There is no hope," he said, "of do
ing anything by staying inside of the
Presbyterian church after that act.
The minority was not treated even de
cently and the majority is too large to
be overcome within the ranks. Large
as it was, it did not represent the great
majority of the Presbyterians outside
who have no use for a confession of
faith made over 200 years ago."

A DEAD SHOT
S right at the seat of difficulty, is accom
iished by the sure and steady aim of
r. Sage's. Catarrh Kemedy. Don't
fool around with a pop-gun, nor a
" Flint-lock," when this reliable "Win
chester" is within reach!
Dr. Sage's treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is tar superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in a permanent enre.
Don't longer be indifferent to the Yert
fled claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap
pear with the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect a perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bnd
the case, or of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds "where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for a case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such a risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such a medicine?
" An advertising fake " you say.
Funny, isn't it, how some people pre
fer sickness to health when the remedy
is poitive anl the guarantee absolute.
Wise men don't put money buck of
"fakes." And "faking" doesn't pay.
