The ReMed

If there is anything wrong in the
party management in this county, let
the conservative democrats so to the
primaries and by their votes and their
influence repress and eliminate from
our politics all Objectionable practices.
1t has been the complaint for years
that in large cities politics are con-
trol!ed by the roughs and toughs, and
the charge is unfortunately true. The
reason for this ia plain-the business
men aud respectable elementsof society
have rcfrained from attending to their
political duties, sta, ing at home at
preliminary elections and often at gen
eraI elections. The balance of power
has always been in the hands of the
conservative elements if they would
Use it. AS an illustration we need on
" call attention to the primaries held
in St. Louis to elect delegates to the
late convention. The business men
determined to elect delegate at large
to Chicago, out Of their ranks. They
attended the primaries and carried
nearly every ward. If our citizens
will do likewise and not sulk in their
tents, they are powerful enough TO
dictate the policy of the democratic
party in this county regardless Of the
politicians. But they can not do it
by remaining at home and objecting
to things that 60 wrong by their pas
sivc sufferance. 1t is true that they
can undo everything including their
party by voting against it and its NOM
inees IN November. That appears to
be poor sort of revenge, when by
heroic struggle for their rights they
can reform the party within its lines.

them and is not one Of the kind 10 be taken in
and done for by even the wiley tongue OF the
new chief boss''-Heraid.
If that is intended to apply 10 the
editor Of the FAIR PLAY, we say that
Mr.. Burks never uttered word about
us that could be construed into what
the above paragraph plainly implies.
Whatever may be Charley Burks'
faults he Is not q wilful liar and un-
less he was he could not have said that
we took part in any meeting of the

the electoral fraud in 1877, Mr. Tilden

The Farmers Club of the American

accurately than Virgins or Vennor:
l. When the temperature falls sud-
denly. there . storm forming south Of
you.
.. When the temperature rises
suddenly, there is storm forming
north Of you.

region of fair weather toward a region
where 8 storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move from
a region where q storm Is in progress
to . region Of fair weather,
). Cumulous clouds always move
from .region Of fair weathert to 3 re-
gion where storm is forming.
6. Where cirrus clouds are moving
RAPIDLY from the south or southeast,
there will be rain inside of twenty
fsur hours, NO matter how cold it is.
7.When ciIrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southeast
there will be . cold rain-storm on the
morrow if it be in summer, and if il
be in winter there will . snow-storm
8. The wind always blows in . circle
around . storm, and when it blows
| from the north, the heaviest rain is
, east Of you; if it blows from the south
the heaviest rain Is west Of you; if il
blows from the east the heaviest rain
is south; if it blows from the west,
the heaviest rain north of you.
9. The wind never blows unless rair
or snow is falling within 1000 miles Of

LIMA Pc q bang. Va, June IA
horrible child murder occurred near Tar
heel. Baden county. y. c., on Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. William Fennell, wife
of a farmer, being called from home a
short distance. left her three children,
aged 3, 5 and J years, playing together,
given some fruit. the youngest having
the larger share. 10 a quarrel over the
fruit the two older ones dragged the IN
fant TO the river bank. and, after beating
out his brain, with a stone, threw him
into the stream. They at first denied,
but finally confessed, the horrible deed.
The body has been recovered, and the
mother is nearly crazy. -TdsgrlR 10

tons which give il~I-repu,e 10 the South.
The parties were not farmers but ne
grocs and the deeds Of blood were based
on a little nigger's lie 10 escape the whip.
The three children were playing in the
woods, and the two elder ones forgot
where they had left the baby Ga being
fogged By their parents they said they
had drowned the infant. Fortunately in
a few hours it was found alive and well
in a ~neighboring apple orchard, which
the party had been robbing.
