OUR STATE FAIR.

The Kansas Fair at Topeka, last
week, was in every way q success.
People who have been in the habit of
attending eastern fairs pronounce it, in
every respect, credit to the State.
The display of cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep, was varied. Good Judges pro-
nounced the show of fine cattle as good
as they hadiever seen. The races were
one of the leading features, and attract
ed larger crowds and more attention
than anything else in the programme.
The fruit department was full. Speci-
mems were on exhibition from our own
State and from California and Missouri.
The latter State carried Off the preml-
um. AS reason for this it was stated
that our best specimens had been car
ried to several eastern fairs. While we
were rejoicing in our triumphs at the
east our neighbors came in and beat US
at our own exhibition. This is all right.
Our fruit growers will be little more
careful after this.
The Board of Directors and the peo-
pie of Topeka cannot be praised too
highly for the perfection that existed in
the arrangements for the Fair. Moth
ing was left undone for the comfort and
accommodation Of the immense crowd
in attendance. Private residences were
thrown open, and no people ever did
better by crowd of hungry sight-seerl
than did the citizens of the capital by
their visitors at the State Fair. 1t il
stated that the city of Topeka and
county of Shawnee expended $4,000
In improving the grounds. Whether
this amount was expended or not, we
know that it was the verdict of all that
the grounds were in good order and
every facility was given for the accom-
mediation of the public, and those who
exhibited stock or articles of any and
every kind. 1t is universally conceded
that in order that the people there
may be somewhat remunerated for the
outlay of cash, hard work and energy
that the next fair should be held there
Topeka is central and accessible, and
there will be a larger attendance at that
point than at any other in the State
Altogether the Kansas Fair for 1871
was an unprecedented and unexpected
success.

SOWING HIS WILD OATS.

We clip the following from the juno
ton City Union. We wish every young
man who is now engaged in Sowing
his wild oats" would read and consider
it carefully. The editor very properly
remarks that the quiet, pensive music
of the lines only gives a sharper barb
to their terrible truth.
"Sowing his wild oats" What shall he reap?
Sorrow and tears. Sorrow and tears.
The mother who bore him sadly shall weep.
Obi bitter return for the wearisome years
or watching and tending with care never
ending.
Now, when the rich grain should be ripe In
the sheaf,
Shall the reaping time bring her harvest OF
grief?
"sowing his wild oats" What shall he reap
Sorrow and shame Sorrow and shame.
No shaft wounds the heart Of the father 30
deep
AS the poison-barbed arrow-a dishonored
name.
Obi death is q sorrow but once to be borne,
"Sowing his wild oats" What shall he reapI
Remorse and chagrin. Remorse and chagrin.
Though pleasure awhile lull the conscience to
And lure the young footsteps still deeper in
Yet the day cometh on when the spell will be
| gone,
When remembrance shall harrow his bosom
with grief
And sackcloth and ashes alone give relief.

The city is improving some. l see

A SHORT CROP OF HoPs.-News from
the great hop region of Wisconsin rep
Tesents that tho crop will be short. A
correspondent from the hop region
writes: at is now generally conceded
that all previous estimates of 5000 bales
of hops for Wisconsin are too high,
and that the yield for 1871 can be placed
safely at from 5000 TO 1000. Picking
Is over, and every previous estimate is
over the mark as to the yield. A yard,
near Appleton, of q acres, one of the
largest in the West (there are only two
or three such), yielded only about 1000
pounds, or $50 pounds per acre, and it
was considered an excellent yard. Sank
county is a complete fIzzle, and rated at
800 bales. Buyers are in great force"

POWERFUL ARGUsENTs.-The month
ly reports of the Secretary of the Treas
ury are the most powerful arguments
in favor of sustaining the Republican
party In power, that can be adduced.
They show the reduction of the public
debt-brought upon the country by the
Democratic party-to be millions each
month. Last month the reduction was
nearly ten millions. In connection with
this satisfactory state of things, there is
another gratifying fact-taxation has
been reduced-as stated by Mr.. Delano
in = recent speech-SS0,O 100000. In
view Of all these facts We ask what are
all tho lying declarations of our oppO-
nents about Republican extravagsnce
and corruption worth? A party that
requires such falsifying for its support
had better abandon the field. Again
we say, compare the doings of the pres
emit administration with the extrava-
gancc and corruption that exist in the
city of New York under Democratic
rule.

at $3,l73, 23S.7S, the most of which Mr..

PLANT, TREES.

Mr.. EDITOR Il was pleased with
your suggestion in your last issue, con-
corning trees. Permit me to say that
after the commendable, almost surpris-
ing improvement in streets and side
walks, the next step, in my opinion, is
a liberal planting of shade trees.
plead fer trees, LIST, on the ground
ofcomfort. None can doubt the comfort
of o well shaded house, in the hot days
Of June, July and August when the
sun blazes upon the open prairie, with
out twig or leaf TO break his rays, for
fourteen hours per day. How great
full would be q cool shade and q green
sward then. Also how pleasant would
q half mile trip to place of business
be, if over good sidewalk, as we have,
If under q continuous line of shade
trees, and in a cool and grateful shade.
Who does not desire this? and who is
not willing to contribute something to-
ward it2 Iplead for trees, I'd, on the
ground Of beauty. A tree is a thing of
beauty, and says Keats in the first line
of his Endymion, "a thing of beauty is
9 Joy forever" and so say I. Who does
not love the beautiful, whether in the
soft lines Of the rolling prairie, or in the
distant hazy belt that girdles the hori-
ION, in the fringy green of the forest
that embowers 3 city. Beauty attracts.
We, Gall citizens) want our city to at
tract,-attract populstion-enterprise
observation-disclosures. Let us make it
beautiful, and we have employed one
of the means of attraction. In saying,
"make it beautiful" do not mean to
say it is not beautiful now. 1t is beau
tiful, almost beyond rivalry, for loca-
ton; and for its age, beautiful in devel-
opment, sitting like gem in the bosom
of the prairie. But trees will make it
more beautiful.
Lastly, and mere practically, SUBJ
NIT, whether the appointing Of tree
committee, from the citizens, by the
council, would not facilitate and has
ten this work. This committee, could
investigate and report certain valuable
facts; such as best kinds of trees best
mode and time of planting; manner of
preserving and cultivating-and last,
not least, most economic mode of secur-

For one vote for railroads, for side

The London Telegraph, commenting
on the New York city government
frauds, says the political and social
corruptions of the ono mans rule of the
governments of Russia and France can
not hold candle as regards corruption
and dishonesty to the American repub-
lie. 1t thinks the strength OF Tamma-
ny and it's champions SO great that there
is little hope OF their being punished,
and attributes the entire municipal cor
ruptions in America to the election OF
the Judiciary and their consequent cor
ruption. 1t says the Tammany, the

Yes. The people are thinking of it,
and are smashing it." Republicans
always vote to break up "nests of cor

the reason they broke up the Demo-
