THE Democrats of New Jersey are
not SO much opposed to Bureau of To.
dustry as some OF the Democratic ora.
tors OF Ohio. The former, in their
State platform, adopted last week, say :
We recognize the needs and sympa.
thize with the workingmen of the
State in the prevalent distress, and we
8dvise the enactment of such legisia-
tion as will enable US to collect statisti
cal information relating to the interests
of labor and capital, with a view to
harmeniZe these interests and place our
industries on a more permanent and
scientific basis.
That Is just the position taken by the
Republicans, and opposed by the Dem.
Oerats, of Ohio.

BELMONT COUNTY FAIR.
Twenty.ninth Annual Exhibition
q Success.

One of the greatest requisites fol
Fair time is fair weather, and in thi.
regard the management of the Bel
mont County Fair were exceedingly
favored. On Wednesday the gates o
the grounds were thrown open and ex
hibitOrs and gamins had it all theil
own way. Although some activity
was manifest on the grounds in getting
exhibits In place, yet there was the
same tardiness manifested as has
characterized the making of entries in
former years. The books closed or
Wednesday, with about 1000 entries q
somewhat less number than has been
on previous occasions. The compare
tive small number of entries was owing
to the fact that, last year, the Society
failed to pay their premiums In full
However, in many departments the
few entries was more than counter.
balanced by the superior quality OF the
exhibit.

Arch Rusk was on hand with q fine
thoroughbred Durham Bull, which
has successfully competed here In for
mer years; Ira Lewis & Son ex.
hibited thoroughbred two years old,
weighing l $50 pounds, and q grade
spring calf, $50 pounds; Jos. H. Close,
also showed an excellent thoroughbred
bull 2 years old. Josua Pryor and w
n. Stilwell had some fine cattle and
carried off their share of prizes. Com
petent judges say there was q much
better display in this department than
usual.

some previous Fairs, though it was

at the horse flesh.
POULTRY.
The poultry show was much below
what it has been for two years pasi7
Although what was exhibited was
creditable, yet there was no such gen.
eral display as to entitle it to especial
mention.
SHEEP.
The sheep pens, probably fifteen in
number, were all full of the best sheep
raised in Eastern Ohio. The exhibit
this year was confined to fine wool
sheep. W. w. Holmes, OF Harrison
county, had several pens of the purest
bred merinos. Our old friend John
Allen, was behind no one in his dis.
play which reflected great credit upon
his judgment and enterprise, and secur-
ed several "ribbons." 8. & 8. Camp
bell were on hand with several lots OF
very choice merinos, which had come
from the State Fair and stood high in
the estimation OF sheep men. Jos. H.
Close had the wonderful Vermont
buck, "Petrick Henry" on exhibition,
and the 81 pound fleece, shorn from his
back. He is o fine animal and attract
ed especial attention.
The swine pens were the center of
attraction for those viewing the stock.
The extending of classes had the effect
to bring an unusual good display in
this department.
Some fine specimens Of Chester
Whites were shown by II. B. Close
and w. G. Rankin, but the cr0wning

LEGAL tender notes have always
figured in the official debt statements
OF the Treasury Department, and the
Supreme Court treats the greenback
issues as forced loan, and yet General
Ewing is grumbling now that the Re-
sumption law Is based upon the theory
that the "gresnback is debt" 1t is
certainly, in express terms, "promise
To pay" and If that il not an evidence
of debt, what Is it? When made con-
vertible into coin at the option of the
holder, 1t may then peforin all the US
ual functions of paper currency, and
not till then. The Democratic Nation
I'll platform of last year ''arraigned"
the Republican party for not having
accomplished this sooner. General
Ewing surely has not forgotten these
facts.
