Farmers Review, Chicago.l
With the present month begins the
season of agricultural fairs. We
urge farmers everywhere to attend
them and do everything in their
power Ia make them successful as
exhibitions and in financial results.
The average fair is not always-in
fact is scldOm-what it should be,
but, for all that, these annual shows
have played an important part in the
improvement of stock, the introduce
ton of valuable labor-saving ma
chinery, the dissemination of the
best varieties of seeds and plants,
and in the general increase of agri-
cultural and horticultural knowledge.
They have stimulated thought, begot
spirit of enterprise, and added
largely to the social enjoyment of Il
class of people who minglc together
too little, and who-too seldom min
Gle with those of other occupations
and professions. In none of these
respects is the mission of the agri-
cultural fair ended.
Two often, as we have intimatcd,
the fair is not what il should be, in
fact is almost precisely what il should
not be. I'm too many cases it has be-
come sporting meeting, where fast
horses take the most of the money,
and draw together Il crowd of loaf
ors, gamblers and showmen, that cor
rupt the morals of the community in
which il SHIELD. In too many eases
il is managed solely for the purpose
of putting money into the pockets OF
officers and stockholders, who have
not the iaintest idea of the Legitimate
purposes of these exhibitions, or OF
the true dignity of the calling they
should represent and attempt 10 fos-
ter. But all the abuses that have
crcpt into the system of conducting
our fairs may be easily remedied il
the farmers will actually take hold
and run them themselves. To refuse
to exhibit, to stand back and grum-
Bile, will never accomplish reform
Every farmer within the scope of an
agricultural society should step for.

ing, and have a voice in the election
of officers, and in framing, or at least
adopting the rules, regulations, and

who believe that the getting up Of {

We declare further that the United
States government should fully rcim-
bursc the State of Texas for all sums
of money expended in the defense of
her frontier.
6. We dcprccaic the necessity
which now exists for keeping por-
ton of the convicts out of the walls
of the state pcnitentiarics, and de
clare that they should be confined
therein as soon rs practicable.
z. We declare that il is the duty
of the legislature of this State to pass
an act regulating the rates of freight
and tariff ON all railroads in this
State, in obedience to the provisions
of the State constitution.
s. We pledge ourselves that no
money shall be borrowed or bonds
issued no meet the current expenses
of the State government. The rate
of taxation shall not be increased,
and the current expenses should be
confined within the current revenue.
3. The interest of the Industrial
wealth producing classes is the para
mount interest of the people of the
tnlltu iNlUitS' ihpot NHOst IuDOT
and enterprise produce wealth should
he secure in its enjoyment. Our
warmcst sympathy is extended to
the laboring classes who have been
tlown out of employment by the ru-
nous financial policy and unjust leg
islation of the republican party, and
we pledge the democratic party to n
reversal of that policy and the restor-
alton of all the rights they are enti-
tied to upon its asccndancy to power.
10. We congratulate the country
upon the restoration Of the constitu-
tional and pacific policy of local self
government in the States of the
South so long advocated by the dem
ocratic party, and to our section of
the Union.
II. Upon this platform of princi-
pies the democratic party feeling that
the popular heart beats in union
with il, appeals to every lover of the
constitutional government, whatever
may have been his former party af-
tiliations, and especially to those who
have hitherto acted and still believe
with us, but who now mistakenly
hope for relief from other parties. to
unite with us in our efforts to main
tain just and economic administra-
ton of the State government, and to
rescue the administration of the Fed
eral government from the hands of
the INSCRIPTIONS party which has
ruled il for seventeen years, and
which has hesitated at no course to
pcrpetuate its unhallowcd rule.

HAS HE SQUARED THE CIRCLES
Process by Which a New Hamp-
shire Mathematician Would Solve

To the Editor of the New York sun;
Sir-To solve the problem GLOW
to square n circle" let il he assumed
that the area of circle is equal TO
the eNccsscs of four squares over
four circles described within the
squares, whose diameter and sides
are equal; which proposition, if il
can be COMMERCIALLY demonstrated,
the area of a circle can be deduced
rs corollary from said dcmonstra-
ton, for il makes the area of five
circles equal to the area of four
squares, and consequently the area
of II circle equal to iour-iitths of the
square of its diameter,
To demonstrate the above prOpO-
sition
From the center of each side of a
square describe within the same II

crs the space of one of the squares

spaces, there is thus incorporated
within the square two of the squares
cxccsses over the area of n circle, and
the two circles have an ovcrplus in
the form of four ollipses made by de-
scribing four semi-circlcs in one
square, Transfer the said four clip

and you have rs Il remainder The
spaces which the two remaining eN-
cesses of the four squares over the
four circles will exactly fill, aud have
