JUel uS VOtfl.' More than one thousand men are now at work on the manmotb manufacturers building for the World’s Fair. The force was recently doubled by order of the exposition authorities, who con cluded that the contractor was not making as rapid progress as was desii able. The authorities are determined that all of the buildings shall be com pleted in time for dedication in October, and the public may be asanrrsd that this will be done. The total number of workmen at Jackson Park now exceeds 7,000. It will probably be increased to 10.000 or more._ O’Neill sports have had considerable food for conversation the past week, all on account of a colored foot racer who has been making this place his head quarters and spoiling for a race all the time. Kid King was matched against him for two races, neither of which he won, and then the Atkinson boys brought down a ringer, who by the way is supposed to be in cahoots with the coon, and trotted the African a pretty 75-yard heat for a supposed purse of •35Q.

Lusk. From England. The following communication to the Lewiston, (Me.,) Journal is from an Englishman who has become thoroughly Americanized and is not afraid to ex press his opinions in the face of an ad verse sentiment in his own country: ' - Oxronu. Emi„ JuiiuS. England Is not a little moved at laird ShIh bury’s unexpected speech at Hustings. It whs a blow at u national bobby which this country bas been nursing In national Isola tion and which her subjects have telt It their duty to defend at 6very opportunity. X have been ultacked oncall sides both In Scotland and England because of our tariff. It Is al most the first subject an Englishman sug gests to un American, but to differ from him Is to Inflame him, to argue with him Is to make htm mad, when he Is drawn Into a corner and cannot reply to the arguments and answer satisfactorily to the questions, he at once says, "The turllf Is a purely selfish measure, America having had every resource and In an unlimited quuntlty. dons not care for the outside world. She legislates for her self,” but when lie Is asked to state when England made a law solely for the benefit of America or any other nation he U dum. To say England Is sour, Is stating it lightly, and has she not reason? There hus been an enormous falling off in her exports. The British Board of Trade returns for the mouth of April show un actual decline of exports to the amount of JKf,000,000, and while our exports during the last twelve mouths have Increased lfi.40 per cent., the British exports have decreased 5.7 percent. They see in our tariff the building up of great national Industries, In our reciprocity treat ies the loosing of the Latin states which Brit ish statesmen for well nigh half a century have struggled for. More than that, our greut country which was the market of Mau ohester, Sheffield and Birmingham, is well nigh closed to them and they are not able to compete with us In many of the markets of the world which they formerly monopolized. They have been driven to test that which has been their pride and boast. It has taken them about a half a century to discover how lamentably deficient Is their free trade theory. Muny of her most far-seeing people have become restless and are clamoring for a change so that when the Tory leader spoke lie was voicing the sentiment of a multitude rapidly Increasing. A change must oorne, for the condition of the mechanic and the laboring class In general Is growing worse; she has rightly been called a “nation of paupers.” 1 have visited nearly every country Europe,and nowhere bas such suffer ing been seen as In England. I was In the manufacturing districts last year when the “McKinley bill" became a law; at once mUls weje shut down and thousands were without emplovment, subscriptions were solicited for the suffering; what with their small wages, much drink, large families and the Inherited tradition that “to save Is only for the rich," the moment work ceases their poverty and suffering begins. Lord Salsbury has suggested a retaliation ! but we fortunately are so situated that no tariff that England dares adopt could vdfy much Injure us, as It Is mostly raw material they Import from us; to keep that from the country would bo “punishing themselves,” us he has suggested. But amid their dark outlook they think they see a ray of light, may It be false, viz: That there will be a change In adminkitratlon at the next election and doubtless there will be as big a barrel spilt accrots tbe Alantic to aid as was sent for the Cleveland-caiupalgu eight years ago. England has stood by the democratic party always. Why? To help Americans? The answer Is clear: British trade Is to be pro moted by democratic success In America. 8he would crush us If she could only stand - . . ' . ■- . /. / ■ ' upon our bonus uiIntrant of ooimnorcu. What her statesmen know I* that the democratic pkrty Ik iin-Amerloan, that they would repeal her laws of protection which would lie cut* tin* tampion's lock*, which would Immodl- * ately etop our growth, which would out the ' nervo of every Industry nod would cut like i ik worm luto our commerce until the tree, decayed, would full; thou who would retrain her place In the commerce of the nation*, and Nourish aa alto once did. « I» there n thluklu* man ho dull, *o blind, ' that does not nee England's motive for sldln* | with and aiding the democratic party V Clove. . land la rewarded hero iih our Kroaleet living American atateHmnn. while McKinley and Hlalne are Klmply adventurers, whoso umlil- . Hon for perHonul dlHtlnetlon leadN them to lose sl*lit of their ooontry'M pruHent and fu- ' lore *ood. Should the democratic ox-prcsl- ; lent, he nominated, and hy misfortune el col l'd, Bnwland would make him a saint and pos- ’ dbly canonise him. The very fae.t England sympathises with and aids tho free trade party would make me at raid of It and dealro protection on the i principle: Find nut what your ouomy Is , anxious thnt you should do then do Just tho opposite. Don't forwet tho dark days of our divided Vinton. Where wits England then? Just where she Is today, on the side thnt would crush out the lire of those Institutions which were our pride and which had the promise of a future we , are liewlnnlnw to realise. Truvolln* as I have these two years up and down this country, mlitwllnw with men In tho universities, In professional and meroantlle life, sooliiw their animus, noting their bitter feel lews, then readlii* In tho dally press the monstrous stories of American's dosluns on Chill, dan Hum I n *o, the Argentine,Uepubllc. which are Intended to prejudice theso people with a hope that they wlU close awalnst our ooiniuoroo their wide open duors which until recently wore only ajar, doos not require a very lowlcal or penetrating mind to soo It is a dylnw man's last, feeble, fruitless wrasp. Pray after the prime minister's oonfosslon. to what country or where will the frtje trade party point for an example of tho siicuess of tholr visionary theoryf If Ion* a*o they had, without prejudice, studied Its workings horo they would have sun* a far different song. These strong expressions may seem strange, coming from one burn In this Island but fortunately I have had a political second birth. You have heard the story of the boy who, having some small pups for sale, knock ed at a door and asked if they dostrad any. He was asked the kind, to which tho boy re plied, "Methodist pups," "No," said the man at the door, "I do not want nny of those harking creatures," Crest-fullcn tho boy retreated, A few days lator bo returned and asked the safne question,' Want to buy some pups, sir?" "Wliut kind are tliesoV” said tbo mini, at tbe same time looking Into tho basket. "These, sir. arc Kplsoopul pups." "But arc they not the same as you brought tho other day?" "Yes sir," was the reply, “hut they have their eyes open now." My eyes have boon opened. PnCDKRICK O. (JlltlgTr.lt, I Oxford University. Sunday School Association.
