CONFERENCE OF FAIR REPRE-
SENTATIVES.

On Tuesday last a conference was
held at Chambersbuag by represent
atiyes of the Harrisburg, Carlisle,
Chambersburg, Gettysburg, Hagers-
town and Martinsburg Fair Asso-
Citations. The two secretaries,
Messrs. Gettinger and Wisner, rep
resented our home organization.
The object was by mutual work to
aid in advancing, strengthening and
making more remuneratiVe the an
nual fairs. Outside persons do not
understand, and would hardly credit
if told, the various devices and
tricks to get in free to the fairs and
to get away with all the money pos
sibie, practiced by hundreds OF per
sons. In other words, mahy human
sharks consider that fairs are their
legitimate prey, held for their con-
venience, and out of which at the
expense Of the owners they are to
realize not only their actual cost, but
great profits. We believe we can
safely say that the Martinsburg
management has kept pretty near
even with this class, and has acted
honorably with all. In addition to
rendering this work easier this con-
ference was designed to organize
consecutive circuit Of fairs in this
valley, 50 as not to clash as to time
and afford manufacturers, artisans,
cattle, dealers in improved stock,
whether as to weight, draft or speed,
to 60 from one fair to another, hay
ing an Intelligent and prosperous
community before them in which
to test their merits, obtain proper
premiums and market their
stock or wares.
Rules will probably be adopted as
to all these matters that will prove
mutually advantageous. In fact,
they may go even farther, and har-
monte as to the amount to be offered
as premiums, by having an early
joint conference each year. Outside
of Carlisle, we believe the Berkeley
premiums are larger than the Others,
and Carlisle is only ahead in the
purses for trials of speed. We have
faith that much good viii result
from this meeting and it may be
possible to enlarge the circuit by
addition Of other associations from
contiguous counties.

NEW PAPERS.

We understand that Republican
and a Greenback paper will soon be
started in this town. We are glad
to note such evidences of enterprise,
not only as citizens, but with little
selfish interest, for which we are ex-
cusable, as it will enlarge the INDIE
PENDENT's sphere of usefulness,
making it more useful to the COM
munity, and being unbiased in its
views, thereby increase its impor-
lance and the faith of the people
therein, and to candidates and poll
tilians it will undoubtedly prove
either a radiant crown or sharp a
thorn in their flesh.

to control the Convention, and at
this distance from the scene it is
hard to figure" on the result But
whatever may be the outcome, it
cannot fail to have an important
bearing, one way or another, on the
campaign. Both the Funders and
Readjusters fully realize this, aad
no Convention OF any party of late
years has been looked to with more
interest and anxiety than the ap-
preaching Republican Convention.
II cannot hope to nominate a tick
ct which will be successful, and the
interest felt is inspired by no such
thought. But as the balance Of
power between the Funder and Re-
adjuster parties, it is an important,
not to say dreaded factor.
The debt question in Virginia, as
in Tennessee, has slit the Democratic
party i'll twain, and bids fair to do
the same thing for the Republican
party.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

\ good deal of interest is felt in
the result of the Republican State
Convention to be held at Lynchburg
on the 10th inst. The interest felt
is melted by the belief that on the
action Of this Convention, in a great
measure, will depend the result Of
the fall elections. The struggle now
going on is between the straight.out
Republicans and those who favor
coalition with the Readjusters. If
the straight-outs control the Con-
vention full Republican ticke5 will
be placed in the field, which action
will materially lessen the
chances Of the Realjustar ticket
for success. On the other hand, if
the coalition wing of the party get
control of the Convention, no nomi-
nation will be made, and the bulk OF
the Republican vote will be carried
over to the Readjusters, which will
give them a strong position in the
fight. This state Of affairs has pro-
duced a curious mixture in the poi.
tics of the State. The Democrats
are naturally anxious that the Re
publicans should nominate a ticket,
and are giving the straight-outs all
the aid and comfort possible in their
efforts to gain control Of the ap-
preaching Convention. On the other
hand Malone and his Readjuster
followers are helping the coalition
lists in every way possible to get in
position to defeat a nomination by
the Convention. Both wings Of the
Republican party claim their ability

THE BERKELEY FAIR.

On The 18Th of September next tie
Tenth Annual Fair for Berkeley
county will commence. 1t ought to
be good exhibition and be remuner-
alive to the company. The mana
gers have plenty of experience and
the affairs have always been con-
Quoted in a spirit of fairness aud Of
accommo1ation-it has made cot
siderable reputation; it has been a
prosperous year in all the depart
ments of industry, and our people
nave learned 20 look upon it as a
kind Of annual harvest-home or place
for friendly meeting and greeting at
the close Of their season of hard
labor during the long days and short
nights of the hot months. They can
afford to rest for Il few days. Tired
nature demands and deserves it.
Harness the horses to the family car
riage or wagon or whatever it may
be, and go to The county fair, not
only one day, but several days. 1t
will make all feel better, and pay
every family in better health, better
nature and larger information. The
tillers of the soil must send in their
products that their neighbors may
see and learn Of each other the de-
gree and character of the progress
made since the former annual gath
ering. The skilled artisan and the
scientific manufacturer should all be
there with their implements or arti-
cles, and let visitors seq how many
steps forward have been made during
the past twelve months by trained
and experimenting thought and skill
full practiced hands. The matrons
and their daughters ought to be well
represented by needlework and knit
ting of all kinds, by preserves,
pickles, butter, bread, cakes, and
everything pertaining to the house
hold, and they are numerous, and
let all see that in their sphere their
minds are as active, their hands as
willing and deft as their husbands,
brothers and lovers. Let the great
est number Of articles have the pre-
fix "Miss" to the names of the own
ers, rather than Mrs" for it will
tell with the thoughtful Of the young
men and aid the minister in his fl
nances the coming twelve months.
Now one and all to work and get
ready your articles for exhibition,
and we will have a grand Fair and
plenty Of recreation. We are earnest
in the matter, and hope to be ableto
record a success in the INDEPEN-
DENT at the close of the Fair.

THERE is no real cause for an able.
bodied tramp anywhere in the coun-
try at this time. There is a demand
for labor such as has not existed be-
fore since the panic of 1873 In
Harrisburg, Pa, many of the indus
trial establishments are short OF
hands, and some of the brick yards
are losing money because of the in
ability to procure help. The price
of labor is higher now than it has
been at any time since the panic, and
in some instances it reaches war
prices. The commonest sort Of labor
commands $3.50 a day and often
goes as high as S1.20.

The railroad war seems to be
