Shall we Have a New Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Associa-
ton.
As all hopes of realizing any furth.
er benefits from the Driving Park,
are practically at an end, it is time to
consider what steps should be taken
to further the interests OF Stock,
Agricultural, and the Mechanical
Arts in Blue Earth county. The farm.
ing and mechanical population oc.
cupy too important a part in the
economy of all our affairs, not to be
provided with every fundamentally
to aid their advance and highest de-
velopement. We require something
more than an ordinary Agricultural
Society. We want an institution
which embraces the entire field of
Stock, Agricultural and the Mechan.
zeal Arts. Blue Earth county has
now arrived at that degree Of devel-
opment and wealth, which enables it
to take step in advance of many Of
its neighbors; a step, too, in which
perhaps many of its neighbors would
willingly join. We would respect
fully suggest that completely new,
and more enlarged organization be
established in the county, embracing,
if you please, several counties. That,
say one thousand shares of stock be
issued, at ten dollars per share, and
that each holder of one share be en-.
titled to membership and to a vote
in the association. This amount of
stock could easily be located. That
each subscription be made upon the
express condition that the whole be
subscribed. That all be paid in at
once, and that new and suitable
grounds be bought and new and appro.
pirate buildings be erected within the
limit of that amount, and that no
debts of any kind be authorized or
permitted. Start the association up.
On a strictly cash basis, and hold 1t
there. Make debt and failure i'm
possible things. Let it embrace all
the "aricd interests entering into our
local economy. We believe such an
association. under the conditions we
have but briefly outlined, could easily
and successfully be inaugurated If
call were issued, and the farmers,
stock-hreeders and mechanics, urged
TO come forward. we doubt not but
this county might establish a model
association of its kind. which would
'"lnhine pleasure with profit to all
'oncerued.

The editors of the country seem
to be doing duty towards making pa.
per cheap again, by contributing their
last shirt to swell the "rag" receipts
of the paper mills. At least we in
fer this is the case, from the fact that
a few weeks ago these editors Of the
country opened fire on the paper steal,
and said something must be done to
stop the outrage; and now we are re.
galed with the information that rags
are coming in more plentifully, and
paper Is sure to come down soon. "
When editors unite in a cause, they
generally win, even though it takes
the last shirt. AS q coincidence, il
appears that several Congressmer
have just discovered that the rise il
paper was an outrage upon the read
ing public.

pose Of electing six delegates to rep.
resent this county in the Republican

The sudden death Of DR.. Jos.

The sudden death Of DIR. Jos. A.
Webb, at Minneapolis, on Tuesday
last, is announced. The deceased is
we'll known to us, having been a class
mate at college in Ohio. He was the
brother Of Mrs. Hays, the wife of the
President, and the last one, save her.
self, Of the Webb family. At col.
lege, he was genial, jolly and popu.
lar. Though not distinguished as
scholar, he became an excellent and
popular physician, and but for the
malady which has pursued him for
many years, would have reached the
highest grade of his profession.

Philadelphia Times.


Few men have served their country
better than Winfield S. Hancock, and
few deserve more from their country
men. A big man, with big head, a big
heart and a big brain, Hancock is tho
very personifcatiou of honor, honesty
and capacity. Gallant and unassuming,
n soldier in three wars, the hero OF
hundred battlesf he is man on whom
all Democrats can consistently unite efor
President, and who, as a candidate, Will
perhaps command larger degree OF re-
spect and support from Republicans than
any other man in the Democratic party.
Clear-headed and self-reliant, his career
as judicial statesman and military gov
eruor while in command Of Louisiana
and Texas gives evidence that II a
strong man is needed for President, there
is no man in the nation more fit for that
position than Winfield S. Hancock. With
him as a candidate of their party the
Democrats will have nothing to explain
or defend, and can proudly point to his
record and challenge comparison OF
with that of the Republican candidate
