A PLAIN DUTY.

The duties Of a journalist are often I'M
pleasant, but Justice to the reader demands
that the truth be told, particularly when
the material interests Of the community
are involved. There has never been time
in the history of the county OF Leaven-
worth demanding greater care in the NOM
ination and election OF County Commits
sioners than now To guard and protect
the interests OF the county, TO devise ways
and means to advance the industrial
pursuits, and 10 collect and disburse
over one quarter of million Of dollars, re-
quires the ablest talent at our command.
Under the law, with our population re-
duced to less than thirty thousand people,
there can be only three County Commits
sioners TO be chosen at large.
Our future, therefore, depends upon the
wisdom, honesty and sound Judgment of the
three commissioners elected this fall. l. it
not the plain duty Of our people TO see to it
that none but capable, honest men are
elected?
J. it not true that he who now neglects
or shrinks from the performance of that
plain duty will be responsible for the cleo
ton OF incompetent officials?
How stands the case? The Democratic
party have nominated three very good men,
but they are not the best men Tor that posi-
ton in that party. The Republicans have
nominated two very good men from the
country, and one from the city who is Who'll.
ly unfit FOR the trust. This fact is SO appa,
rent that We will not argue it.
We are sorry to record the fact that in
the convention Alternately, Ralston and
Fairchild hardly received respectable
vote, yet we unhesitatinSly say that in JUS
tice to ourselves and in the performance o.
plain duty, which every good citizen owe
the community, the people should see to il
that only good men, wise men, prudent
men and competent men be chosen for po
sitions OF high trust and great RESPONSE
bi!ity.
There are any number Of men fit fol

Selec; two names from the above list
and one nominee from the country, eithel
Lucas or NanWinkle, elect them, and thu
interests OF the county are safe.
The same argument can be made abou
the Office OF Assessor. Neither party ha
nominated the best man for that Office. 4
man qualified for its duties should b
elected.
The facts above stated must be self-evi

DISTRICT FAIRS.
some Very Sensible Suggestions.


Now that the fairs of 1875 are all over
we offer the following suggestions on the
subject, for the consideration of the differ
emit associations of the State. Few, if any
States now hold what are really and truly
State Fairs. -.. r...-.
Kansas never had State Fair. They
have always been composed of very few
counties near the place where they were
held, have entailed burden of labor and
expense on the citizens OF the town which
bid highest for the honor and as expositfons
of the industries of the State have uni
tormly been failures. The State is too
large, too thinly settled, and too poor TO
successfully unite At one point. That fairs,
properly conducted, are OF immense benefit
to the country, scarcely admits OF doubt.
Then let us zee if some plan cannot be de-
vised whereby they may be made useful to
the whole people. We beg leave TO offer
the following plan for eur own State
Let there be FIVE strong moneyed corpor-
atoms organized, one near each corner of
the settled portion OF the State, at some
point easy Of access to several counties; and
one in the center. 1t takes money, and
plenty of il to conduct successfully a large
and profitable fair. No association which
does not pay promptly and in full its pre-
miums, can possibly succeed. Men cannot
afford the time and. money necessary in
preparing and exhibiting their productions
With 10 surety Of receiving the premiums
awarded them. Let associations already
ncxanixed. WHEN their location is suitable,
be enlarged and Strengthened. The
officers Of these FIVE associations
should consult with each other,
and decide early in the season on the date
Of their respective fairs 30 as to assist each
other. These fairs would each be from one
hundred to two hundred miles from. any
other, and two in opposite portions Of the
State could be held the same week without
interfering with each other. The follow
ing week let the other opposite corners hold
theirs, and the third week, the center one.
In this way visitors and exhibitors at hone
and from abroad, could visit three large
fairs, and thereby procure better know
ledge of the capacities Of the State, than in
any other way. 49,
Then let each county 50 disposed, hold
their county fairs before the district fair 70
which they naturally belong. In this way
the best Of everything in the State could
be collected OF the district fairs, they would
be made large and attractive, and we
should no longer play second fiddle to st.
Joseph and Kansas City, and they would
be LETT to exhibit JEFF Davis and other her
maphrodites to a small but admiring circle
Of sallow faced, butternut breeched deni.
xens of the Missouri bottoms. This ar
rangement would give an average of fifteen
counties to each district, more than ever yet
participated to any extent in a so-called
State fair. The points for holding the fans
shauld be selected With great care and with
reference to present and prospective means
of easy and rapid communication.
We offer thse suggestions to the people

A few days ago it was rumored THAT nc
gotiations were going ON locking to a trans
fer OF the management of the Quincy, Al
ton and st. Louis railroad to the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy railroad. Well
authenticated reports in railroad circles
to-day have it that the negotiations have
been successful, and that in few days the
C., B. and Q. will assnme control. The
President, W. S. Woods, and VicePresi-
dent, B. 7. Sco6eld, are now in Chicago, it
is supposed, to settle the matter and sign
the papers. In connection with this report,
also, comes another equally authentic. that

Good Night,

If l could only lay me down to rest,
Crossing my weary hands upon my breast,
And shut my troubled eyes without fear,
Knowing that they would never open here
How blissful it must be, both worlds in sight
To say my tired good night.
If only from the frettingeares of Time,
To truths eternal | at once may climb,
No longer count the graves wherein | tread,
But, i'll one moment be all comforted-
Ii such could be. what JOY in upward flight.
To sing my tired good night.
watch the sweetest flowers throughout tn
morn.
look, and 10! at noontide they are gone;
The wings of sorrow are forever SPREAD
weep, but weeping brings not back my dead
II God would but reveal the breaking light,
How sweet TO say good night.
This flooding tide of warnings will not cease
l cannot reach to touch the lips of peace;
Nor can gather TO my Sobbing heart
The white-wnged angels God has set apart,
\ ct haply l may find them all in sight
After some tired good night.
What wonder, then, that | should long to rest
Crossing my weary hands upon my breast;
10 shut my troubled eyes without fear,
knowing that they would never open here;
