The interests of Kenosha county,
outside of the city, are pre-eminently
agricultural and dairying; its manu-
featuring industries are almost exclu-
sively confined to the city. There is
probably not better developed agri-
cultural district in the state than this.
The early settlers of the county were
mostly persons Of limited means, and
were obliged to endure the privations
peculiar to most new countries. From
comparatively small beginnings, a
large proportion of the land holders
have, by industry and perseverance,
risen to independently. School facili-
ties and church accommodations have
been literally provided. One of the
secrets Of success of the first settlers
of the country is, that they were of
temperate habits, and, with hardly an
exception. free from eXtravagant in
dulgences. The children of the early
inhabitants, who have grown up to
man and womanhood, are generally
educated, and not few of them have
had the advantages Of higher institu-
lions of learning in other states. No
where else is there rural population
better qualified for an intelligent exer-
else of the duties of citizenship than
in this county.
The ruling power of this great Re-
public is in the hands of the people,
and the people of Kenosha county, as
a component part of the nation, have
a responsibility resting upon them,
which cannot rightfully be evaded.
No good citizen has right to be in
different to the public welfare, morally
or politically. If men are chosen to

1t looks very much as if the country
was nearing an upheaval in political
parties; not for years, if ever before,
were there 50 many movements inau-
gurated for political action as now.
The advocates of prohibition, of per-
sonal liberty, or unrestricted liquor
traffic, and woman suffrage have each
lifted high their standards, and are
rallying their friends to their support.
Besides these, other reformatory move
ments of less strength are calling for
political action. Such of our citizens
who have long and earnestly protested
against bringing any of these questions
into party politics will hardly be able
to withstand the pressure much longer.
Political issues hitherto avoided are
now forced upon the people, and those
who dislike to entertain them will have
the alternative of stepping out of poll
ties, or accepting the issues presented,
We shall continue to have an abiding
faith in the Republican party; it has
in years past brought the country
through many severe trials. 1t carried
us through the war of the rebellion
and the disturb ng elements which
have since agitated the nation. When
ever it is proposed to add new issues
to the platform of the party, they will
be impartially considered.

1t now appears the Prohibitionists
are resolved to run a distinct ticket
for members Of Congress in each of
thu Congressional districts in the
State. Also the effort will be made to
have prohibition the issue in all the
Assembly and Senatorial districts. 1t
is stated that the Equal Suffrage con-
vention, which meets at Madison on
the 18th inst, will not adopt prohibit
ton as a part of its platform, for the
reason that prohibition cannot be made
a success until the women obtain the
right to the ballot.

people themselves. There are men in
Congress, in state legislatures and
other representative bodies, who did
not find their way to these positions of
trust by the preferences of the people;
they are there, because having been
nominated through manipulations and
jugglery; and the party to which they
profess to belong, according to usage,
had no alternative but to vote for
them. One of the faults incident to
nominating conventions is the neglect
of the best citizens to attend the pri-
mary meetings. 1t often happens that
a few trading politicians manage to
control the nominations, and then call
upon the voters to sanction their pro-
ceedings. AS general rule, there are
fewer political adventures in the ru-
raj districts than in the cities. There
is world of defamation in these
times on "civil service reform" it is
in vain to claim that the enactment of
laws, either state or national, can Sc
cure the sought for reform. The only
method is to begin at the foundation of
all source Of power in the government;
let the people rise in their majesty
and declare that no man shall be nomi-
mated and elected to any Office of trust
and responsibility who has not clear
record for honesty, integrity and good
moral standing in the community. To
achieve this end, it behooves the voters
in every town and district to look well
to the primary meetings.

The political campaign in the several
Congressional districts in this state
has been prosecuted with unusual
vigOr. Candidates have gone into the
fight for office with as much earnestness
as if life were depending. Whether
the good old times of half century
ago will ever return, when men mod
estly kept quiet and allowed the people
to select their candidates, without be-
ing importuned, button-holed and piled
with promises, never to be fulfilled, is
hardly prOblematical. We have en-
tered upon a new era in politics. Can
didates for office spring up unasked,
and herald their own peculiar fitness
for the positions they seek. The time
is within the memory of many one
among us when a candidate, having
been put in nomination for office, re-
Trained from soliciting votes for HIM
self, but stood aloof, allowing the cleo
tors to signify their choice without
interference; he often did not vote for
himself. Perhaps this was too great
an extreme of modesty, but it is strik-
ingly in contrast with the modern ex-
treme of self-laudation in these later
days.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
The annual county fair, it will be
noticed, occurs on the 18th, 18th, 14th
and 18th days of September. County
F.lirs have become fixed institutions
in most counties in this state, as we'll
as in other states. The fair last year
in this county appears to have been
satisfactory, and it is desired that this
year it should be attended with still
greater success. This county has the
materials for a grand exhibition, and
it needs only the purpose to make it an
enjoyable and profitable occasion. The
true object of fair of this kind is not
merely for display, but to educate the
people; to demonstrate what the soil is
capable of producing, in the line of
cereals, vegetables, fruits and flowers.
1t suggests new ideas in machinery
and the implements of husbandry; it
invites attention to superior breeds of
domestic animals, horses and cattle. 1t
also encourages artistic skill in the
various branches of the ladies' depart
ment. The fair especially affords an
opportunity, not only for the farmers
of the county, but those of other occu-
pations to enlarge their sphere of ac-
quaintance, and at the close of the ex-
hibition to return home happier and
wiser

The Tennessee Debt QuestiOn-Its
Effects ON the state.

The Columbia TENN Independent,
in an editorial, after showing that to let
the State debt question remain unsettled
is to ruin the State not only in character
but commercially, says:
1t is useless 10 shut our eyes to the stern fact
that capital never seeks investments in a repu-
dating State, no matter how low the taxes are
Men of business and of capital would rather pay
the taxes necessary TO preserve the credit of the
State than 10 suffer the pecuniary evils of repu-
diation. All the Northern and Northwestern
States pay much higher taxes than we do, and
yet capital has been avoiding Tennessee and
going there. Virginia and Tennessee have both
permitted their financial reputation to be injured,
if not destroyed, and although they have more
mineral wealth than almost anY State, not only
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, but even Alabama
and Georgia, have increased more in manufac
turing cotton and iron than they have done with
in the last ten years. Capital passed by Tennes-
see, that had a ten cents State tax. and went to
Alabama that had sixty cents State tax. Ten
nessee with ten cents tax increased much less
in every particular than Missouri with a forty
cents State tax. Experience shows that laying
aside all considerations of justice, right and hon.
or of the State, il is the interest of the people
of Tennessee to settle their State debt upon some
permanent basis and she can never expect much
prosperity until she does so.

We are gratifed to be able to announce
that a syndicate of Northern capitalists,
represented by Mr.. John E. Page, of
Albany, New York, have just concluded
the purchase of what is known as the
"Curtis Lands" originally constituting a
portion of the celebrated "Forbes Pur-
chase" The lands lie in Leon, Wakulla
and Franklin counties, and extend to
within few miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
The price paid is 25 cents an acre and
the purchase covers about 10000 acres.
This is the second largest land transaction
ever made in the State and means great
deal, for following it will come the cree
ton of saw-mills, the building of rail
road to deep water on the Gulf and the
introduction of immigrants. Mr.. Page
has personally gone over much of the
land and is greatly pleased with it. 1t
would be perhaps premature to speak pos
itively of the intentions of the company,
but we feel at liberty to say that connec-
ton with the railroad system of the State,
from point on the Gulf, where there is
abundance of water and a safe harbor
for large vessels, to this place, is among
the speedy improvements designed.

TO subscribe for stock and issue bonds in
payment therefor on the strength Of the
fact that the State had created this fund.
The tosds wsss built and subsequently
cold without provision for relieving the
counties Of the obligations they had con.
tracted, and in this respect the law worked
great mischief; and we hold that there
is p sort of moral obligation resting on
the State to undo this mischief as far as
possible, not. by itself assuming the pay
ment of the debts, but by providing for
their payment out of the very Fund the
creation of which in the outset contribu-
ted so much to induce the counties to in
volve themselves in debt. It seems to us
that there ought to be no objection to a
measure of this kind. 1t is simply one Of
relief, within the power of the Legisla-
ture to afford, and the correction of evils
resulting from previous legislation.
