There will be two fairs in this county
again this year. The premium lists OF both
are nearly ready for distribution. The lists
for the new fair will be finished to morrow
and those for the old fair two or three days
thereafter. The old fair will be held at
their grounds, north Of the city, on the last
four days OF this month. The new fair will
hold their exhibition on their new grounds
on the west side Of the river. Both fairs
offer handsome sums. In the aggregate, for
premums-larger than ever before IL
these associations desired TO fight each 9TH
er II would have been the thing to hold on
the same day. But, as there seems no lon
ger any dispositionto fight, it seems to us
that they ought to have been set further
apart as to time. They could just as well
o. not, have had their exhibitions six weeks
apart. We believe the new fair will en-
deavor TO have the finest agricultural show
ever held in the county, while the old fair
declare that they will have the best horse
trot and stock show ever held in the State.
We don't know Of any other county in the
State where two successful fairs are annu-
ally held. We suppose Sedgwick county
could run u dozen; but all fun aside, 1t
strikes us that much energy and much good
will Is annually being sacrificed on the altar
Of the old quarrel melted by impracticals.
This secession, division, or whatever 1t may
be called, don't sound well abroad, while at
home it dcters many farmers and mechan-
les from participating in either for fear OF
the ill-will OF the other, while the newspa-
pers are left In q position where they can
help neither, for no newspaper will come
out for one as against the other, no more
than a merchant or any other disinterested
party would. II no other way can be sug-
gested we suggest that third and new Or
ganization be completed for the purpose OF
buying out both the old ones. A newspa-
per that should attempt to stand by either
of the present organizations would be in
the fix OF the stranger who humanity sepa-
rated two fighting dogs, who was bitten by
both animals and kicked by the man whose
dog was on top, and in the end died Of n.y.
drophobia.

Not long ago I stood by the death-bed of a

pillows. Her face was turned upward: but r.

Congress should take warning by the fate of
the Lenox library, and not make its literary
treasures inaccessible to the public. The Lenox
Is housed in fine building; the Congressional
library, on the other hand, is well supplied with
books, but has no home of its own, and it's
books and manuscripts are hidden in damp, dark
cellars. Congress seems disposed to increase
Its stores and has set aside this year an extra
appropriation of $4,000 for the purchase of
the military papers, etc, of the Count
de Rochambeau. and $8, 900 tor the purchase
OF some important records and briefs belonging
to the estate of the late Senator Carpenter.
But OF what avail is this gathering together of
rich material, if it is only for burial? Books
are not toads; they need light. and air and HUI
man companionship; else they get grmy, their
covers takeOn midew, or their backs crack and
