The healthy row in the g. o. p. that is only in its infancy, but vigorous for all that, will give the organs a much needed diversion from their attempt to make the farmer beHeve that a 12 cent duty on wool is all that keeps it from being worth 4 cents less than nothing. - State Democrat.

It is humiliating to our people and government that our neighbor whom we so cordially invited to join us in the great undertaking, and whose potent influence did so much to secure the co-operation of other Europan governments, should be obliged to resort to the courts in order to secure her rights. There are plenty of funds in the hands of the exposition management to meet these just claims (they are acknowledged to be just) but it seems to be the intention of the officials to resist their payment on some technicalty. The reputation of the United States for courtesy and honor ought to be worth far more than the paltry $71,000 claimed by the French exhibitors. Such bad faith will undoubtedly react upon us should we ever hold anofher exposition.
