In another column or this Issue ap? peals an editorial, reprinted from Tho Daltlmore Sun, In which tho James? town Exposition, the government loan and the attitude' of certain sections toward the Torcontennlnl uro iIIb cussed. The Baltimore papors have ever been f .loudly to the Exposition, bul this expression from tho Sun Is the niOBl kindly thill bus ever come from outside the State and for It tho gratitude, of Virginia in due. There have been no malty harsh criticisms or tho Tercentennial from nil Bides that n friendly, assuring word from any source Ik welcome and when BUCh n paper us The Sun dines out with such an attitude as a local paper might be expected to assume, we hardly know how to express our B atHudo. It is to be hoped that The Suit's editorial will rind Its way to the eyes Of Iho Secretary of the Treasury and other officials who seem determined to fiuthor Injure the Exposition In the eyes of the world by publishing bTondcnst the statement that the Tor centennial company has not been In h position to repay the government loan of ll.ntiO.OOti. Ah Tho Sun says, who Ih going to be hurt If the Jamestown Imposition doos fall to return overy cent of the government's loan? The peopi ? n e the government, menl, nnd even if the eompanv should fall to make anoint r payment on tb olonn, the loss to each Individual III tho country would be Infinitesimal. Direct appropriations to nil other big Expositions have amounted to a great deal more than tho total amount placed by th,< government nt tho Jamestown fair In holdings, pier, ex? hibits and loan. To those grumblers of our own sec? tion who me Inclined to say unkind things about the Exposition, this pa? per recommends the reading of The Sun's editorial. GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS AT THE EXPOSITION. Incident t? ||?. Now York Stale Day celebration at .the Exposition yester? day. Qovcrnor Hughes delivered just such an address as was to he expected fiom mi able, conservative statesman ami from n man who is justly proud or iho great State of which no is governor. Aside irem his graceful and splendid compliment to the Old Dominion, tho Governor's remarks wore addressed principally to the New Yorkers, who were in his audience by the hundreds, ami those who listened carried away with them Homo valuable thoughts nnd sound advice. While the advice and suggestions wero offered especi? ally to the people of the Governor's own Slate, overyone who heard or reads tho address will do well to al? low their thoughts to dwell a long time upon sonio of the Ideas ox pressed. " "In this country no one is Inde? pendent of hla fellows," says Mr. Hughes, "and tho security of every man must ultimately depend on tne opportunities nnd well being of oth? ers." This Is the keynote of the gov? ernor's plea for "our Icb8 forlunatu brothers," to which a considerable pp.rtt of (ho address was do voted. Appropriate la every way, Mr. Hughos' speech was particularly ap? propriate as to length. When a lnrgo crowd, In which thousand* hav?. to stand, gathers to hoar an adctros, brevity on Hie part ot the speaker Is In order. This fact, so ofteu over? looked, obviously was borno lu mind by Mr. Hughes. Horses entered In the State fair incos an" living up to their n.imcs ?

FINANCES OF THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. A Washington dispatch publisher! In The Sun yoaterday stated that of-i flelals of tho Treasury Denartmpnt f??r that the Jamestown Exposition will not bo able to pay back to the Government the full amount of the loan of $i.ofiaooo authorized bv t'on cress A balance of approximately JSOO.nfM remains unnnltl. am! while the dob! will ho reduced before the I vemnei So, it in ... ? .,, ?ni?r Ingion that the Oovcrnm?nt's claim ran tie. satisfied In full.

Why, then, should there be consternation in official circles In Washington if tho Jamestown Exposi? tion I? not able I" repay all the loan of $l,ono,00u? It Is miilcr moral and legal obligations, of course, to return the money which it borrowed from tho Government. Hut the Treasury Is overflowing. We are so rich anil prosperous that the other day the Government, offered to pay a bonus of fin per cent, to American shipowners to cary coal to tho Pacific oast for] our battleship fleet. The premium would have amounted to $300.000 In excess of the nniii for which foreign! ships would have contracted to tloj tho work. If we are able to throw nwnv $300,000 morolv to vindicate thai light of American shipowners to con? trol our coastwise trade, wliv should wo be alarmed If $.100.000 of the nn lion's money I? lost in the Jamestown enterprise? The nntli'i ivj i afforded the opportunity of visiting the Exposi? tion and gelling Its money's worth. Tho loss to'each one or the S0.000.000 Inhabitants of the United States i.v reason of the Jamestown Exposition will be lens than 1 cent. The Treas? ury snroliis for innn-iriov was $1 in nor Capita! It appears, therefore, thnr If the ocoplo are searching for n griev? ance thov have greater en"sc |o com nlniti of the Treasury sndnlun than or Hie Exposition deficit. Of course, the Government ought not to throw the neonlc's mpnov In financing morelv tocnl exhibitions.
