The Fairs ana the Panic.

The county and other Fairs con-
tinue to be held without much regard
TO the panic so severe in commercial
circles. The shrinkage in the 6cti
tious wealth of the nation, by some
estimated as high as a billion of dol
lars, does not affect farmers, for their
wealth is actual wealth and consists ir
real. tangible grain and cattle, land,
barns and houses. 1t is not liable to
be blown away by a wild, unreasoning
scare, or by the scoundrellsm o. a set
of rascllly bulls and bears. Hence,
the Fairs do not show much diminu-
tion in attendance or in inteI est.
While dishonorable bankers are trying
their mean tricks on their rivals, farm
ers can 90 steadily on with their bus
mess and can look on the strife as from
afar off. After the storm comes q
calm. After the panic the market
quotations of produce will return 10
their legitimate values. Farmers, ex-
cept those who have been so unfortIn
ate a. to have money deposited in rot
ten banks. will come ont all right.

Why THE CHESTER WHITE HOGS
ARE IN DIsREPUTE.-Mr S. H. Todd,
of Wakemau, Ohio, expresses the
opinion that swIndlers and Speculation
have contributed much toward placing
the Chester Whites in false light be
fore the public. They have filed the
country with poor white hogs, under
the name OF Chester Whites, but which
we're not Chester Whites, and the
Fublis ignorant of this deception, have
acquired an erron, Gus impression Of
the real value and worth of this excel,
lent breed Of hogs He is confident
that the public will in time learn what
the real Chesters are then they will
lie much more priced that ever before.
He regards the Chesters as possessing
a fixed type, which transmit to their
progeny with great certainty, and can
slwsys tell when he coupl,s his hogs
what he is going TO get.

of a man who prided himself on his

WHAT GRANT SHOULD HAVE

The President should have said dis.
tinctly that the amendment, the ''back

coerced To authorize q plain wrong
By the alleged necessity OF passing
the appropriations; and that the re-

Ty-
Hal the president said this in his
usual plan manner it would not onIy
have been right, but it would have
been the most popular set Of his sd-
ministra ion. 1t would have shown
the country that he was not confused
by plausible sophistries, and that be
not Only sa. clearly what should be
done, but tha. be had the courage
firmly to do it. TIE fact that his
veto would have made an increase of
his own salary impossible during his
second term would have commended
him only tue more warmly to public
r, spect and admiration.
Such an act slsO would have STAYED
the tendency TO reckless and doubtful
fnaI C al legislation. IL would have
recalled the simple, sober standards
OF expense and OF public honesty
which are not only often forgotten
but -ldieuled. 1t was a great oppor-
tuaity lost- And the most faithful
Republicans and friends of the Pres

1t should be said, will not deny that
1t is the truth.
