'i j i ; '"-' j l The location of the World's Fair o 1802, commemorating the fourth centennial of Columbus' discovery of America will in all probability, be either in New York or Chicago. Washington is perfectly willing) to have it and is the choice of a great many people, especially in the South, but Washington does not propose to give anything of con seqpunce on it own account. It looks loyally to the government for everything. Chicago on the other hand has already raised in the neighborhood of $7,000,000, aftd has three or four million in sight. New York has organized a finance committee of tremen- . dous weight and has condemned $12,000,000 of yrcjperty just above Central Parle j as a site, but is far behind its brisk jWest ern rival in the matter of guar anteed cash. St Louis is prob- ; ably out of . the racej The loca tion will depend in great meas ure upon the vote of Southern jRepresentatives and mators, as they seem to hold the balance of power between th0 East and West. X CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO. j- . As our Republican friends. specially those of the Northare so much disturbed about the condition of the negro in the South, and as many negroes themselves seem anxious to leave the South, we are some what surprised that the people of Vermont and New! Hampshire do not jump at the opportunity to invite the negroes; to occupy the abandoned farms of those States. The negroes have "been raised on farnjs, and, of course, are accustomed to farm life; by instinct and instruction they take to tjie Newj Enjglanders as naturtll as a f. duck takes-to water sd the association of the two peoples would be in the highest degree harmonious. To show i how : tjie NeW England people feel and fact toward the negro we copy the following from the BostoruHome Journal, an able organ ofthej high-toned society of that section. The language and meaning of the Home Journal are unmistaka- ble "The attempt to raise an ex citement over the color line in the transportation ofi Hon..

That the Cronin murder in Chicago was an infamous, con spiracy to get rid of a man who knew too .many of the secrets of the Clan-na-Gael, and especially too much of what had been done with noney subscribed by hard working Irish people for the Irish caiise, is a foregone conclu sion, llyeems "that the conspir acy is still active in the effort to secure a miscarriage of justice.
