Tell the Pilgrims the Truth!
Many visitors to the Sesqui
centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia
are already coming to Washington as
one of the Important points on a pa
triotic pilgrimage. Many more will
come, as the great fair is more fully
established and draws larger numbers.
Those who have coupled Washington
already with the Seaquieentennlal
have had the advantage of seeing Con

come will miss that spectacle.
But whether they have already
come and been treated to a visit to
the halls of legislation and to' the
sound of the voices of the American
lawmakers in debate or exposition, or
must make the journey without know
ing that experience, they will perhaps
go back to their homes with a sense
of something wrong at Washington.
