NJ. GAMBETTA ON THE FRENCH ELECTION

M GAMBEIIA On lHE FRENCH EDECllONo'
NJ. Gambetta has addressed a long letter to
his former secretary, NJ spuller in rcpy to au inquiry
from that gentleman the line OF conduct the Repub
lcsns should adopt in the Councs-Genera. Gambetta
describes follows the mission Of the French Repub
Can party:
"The ambition Of the Republican party Ia to show by
daily practice that, both regards social and political
life, Il Ia the protector Of all legitimate interests; II
must prepare itself for that noble task by ana
becoming practically acquainted with those interests,
and thus convince the world that 1t regards politics only
as OF protecting, developing, and securing the
rights OF all the aborng world bOurge0tse ana prOe-
tarat which forms the groundwork of French Denoc-
racy This conception OF Democratic policy IS Ia strict
accordance with the traditions OF the REVOLUTION which
sought change tho political status Of Franco only TO
make land capital and tools to those who preyl-
ousy owned nothing, could acquire nothing, and were
held as nothing in the world. We must adhere TO TINS
tradition, and when patiently, laboriousy, we shall have
given certain and reiterated proofs OF our activity ana
capacity shall be assured OF the cooperation OF that
Democracy under whose eyes and in whose behalf we
shall have fought all battles The llDels and AFRO
gance OF adversaries will make shrug Its shoulders
and with ono vote 1t will put oil things and all persons
In their proper places 1t will then be no longer possible
TO exclude Il from institutions and our laws; 1t Will
no longer be content with Republican frontispiece but
will Insist on raising It's own temple with lts own
lands-and thus will vanish the impertincnt theories
which talk of founding the Republic without Republic

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The importance of this bject-im portsnt
because every farmer and property owner
in the county is directly interested in hsv-
ing well organized Agricultural Society
and successful exhibition every year in
the county, demands more than q passing
notice. 1t matters not what past grievances
and difficulties may have been, but it is for
the future that we must work. 1t is now
conceded by all parties that the present
Agricultural Society under its present own
ership and past management has BEEN a
most successful failure. Again it is well
kno WI that rs long as it is stock com
pany there is no immediate prospect Of any
change of owners, and it is most positively
stated, that unless there be some change,
some reconstruction, we cannot have fair
on the grounds OF the society. Now we
cannot well afford to miss of having fair
this year, and looking the whole matter
squarely IN the face, steps have been taken
for the organisation of new society which
we hope will be properly guarded so as TO
attain as brilliant q success as has been
achieved by our neighbors across the river.
Some eighteen years ago the Scott County
Agricultural Society ives organized and
grounds leased of Antoine LIE Claire, as is
now proposed to be leased of the present
Rock Island Agricultural Society. They
worked steadily along, applying their profits
to the purchase of grounds, and last year, ou.
of their, earning, besides paying large pre-
miums, they finished paying for their present
magnificent grounds. At the start life mem
bership tickets were only ten dollars, now
they are five hundred-the society is large,
prosperous and possessing aname far above
any other fair in the west.
Cannot the same be done here? meet
ing is called at the Council Room in this
city, on Saturday, the 2lst inst, for the
purpose of organizing a society on basis
of life mem bersbip so as to prevent the pos
sibility of any one man coming in, buying
up the society, and running it to suit him
self, as is the case with the present society.
This will make the society permanent, and
make 1t county institution, and when the
society shall be able to purchase grounds, g
special act of the Legislature can make the
society perpetual, and the grounds to be
used for no other purpose. We have not
sufficient space to discuss the subject in ell
its bearings. but all are invited to be presen,
at the meeting On Saturday, when they can
become mem ers, and lend a hand in the
good work.

The best is always the cheapest, there
fore we would call attention to the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and Pennsyl
vsnia route east, and recommend trial of
this route by those of our citizens who pur.
pose taking an eastern trip, now or at any
time in the future. This route is one of the
best and..m thoroughly equipped in the
United States, and is lhours the quickest,
and 81 miles shorter from Chicago to New
York than any other line running between
those cities. This is the only route running
its whole train of baggage, day and palace
cars through to New York, thus saving the
traveller the WORKOUT humbug of changing
cars" Connection is always made with the
Pennsylvania Central road "on time" TINS
avoiding those tedious waits, and saving the
traveller much of that worriment of mind
consequent upon finishing connections"
The coaches of this route ara unenunlled
for comfort, their Pullman palace cars are
models of ease, and the road bed il as
smooth as art can make it. Mr.. W. C. Gle
land, General Western Passenger Agent of
the Pittsburg g. Fort Wayne, is an expert
enced railroad man, and q gentleman of the
old school, NJ. T. L. Kimball, General
Western Passenger Agt of the Pennsylvania
Central, has had an extended practicein the
management of railroads, and is too we'll
known to our readers to need commenda-
ton Of ours. This route is one of the most
popular of the many eastern routes, and we
recommend . trial of its virtues by our
citizens.

Temperance Non Admit Its Utility

the virtues of tonic vegetables nor render
them active in the system. This is chem

an opinion on the subject will deny. Water
