The principal'object of the. county
fair is to show that Alpena county is
a first class place to grow wheat, oats,
vegetables, apples, plums, etc., and
judgement is passed on the county BY
visitors, by what they see at the fair.
1t is the annual advertisement by the
farmers of the products of their
farms. This can best be done by ex-
tensive exhibits of grain, vegetables
and fruits;and such should be done.
It is not merely a plan whereby few
may get prizes. The object is to show
the capabilities of the county for pro-
ducing agricultural products. The
farmer may be we'll satisfied of this
fact, but the only way he can make
those who are not farmers also know
50, is by actual exhibits. The farmers
need a FIRST class -four mill, and in
order 10 induce capitalists to invest in
such, they must show them that AL
pena is first class wheat county.

AN IMPORTANT LETTER.
The Successor Of Peter Signs an Interesting
Encyolieal Addressed to the World.

The cable Announces that the Pope
has signed a new encychcal letter,
authorized translations of which are
being made into English, French, Ger
man and italian. An ecclesiastical
digniGary has enabled the correspond
ent TO communicate the nature and OBJ
ject of the Papal degree, which is OF the
utmost Importance TO the Catholic
world, and are not yet known except to
o few personages in close relation with
the Holy Father. The document is in
two parts. One defines the rights of
the church i'll all existing governments,
and sets forth the Pope's views on the
relations Of Church and State. The
second part draws a narrowing picture
Of modern society, which is suffering
from having abandoned the principlesof
the Roman Catholic Church, and fails,
consequently, to provide for or relieve
the working classes. IheSe--hungry,
and deceiYed-haYe lost all
respect for civil and religious authority,
and now seem on the verge Of oyerturn-
ing the entire social fabric OF Europe
in revolution and anarchy. The Pope
al first entitled it 'Eneyclical Liberal
ISM but he has now changed it to
'Ciyitatum state government. This
document will be memorable act of
Pope Leo XII.

On November the Commissioners OF

4 shoshone Vendetta.

A deadly vendetta recently broke out
in the Shoshone tribe Of Indians. A
desperate encounter took place a day
or two since, in which one Indian was
shot dead and another fatally cut.
Some time ago one Of The chieftains of
the tribe suspected his wife of criminal
relations with a Young warrior of the
tribe. Investigation revealed the truth
of the report, and In his ire he shot aud
killed his rivals favorite horse. a re-
prisal was at oTce entered. and the
ehieftain's was also a corpse. The out
ragged husband then gathered together
his personal adhereHts and went forth
for blood and vengeance. But the
Wife,s lover had also friends. and the
ehieftain found himself opposed BY an
equal force. The fight came off, with
above result. The authorities have
succeeded In quieting matters for the
present, but bitter blood has been
stirred up. The fight is not out, and
more blood will doubtless be shed.
The shoshones are morally far above
the other tribes Of the Northwest with
their women. Chastity is hereditary,
and a leWd Shosh0ne woman is rarity
indeed. When, however, case Of the.
kind does occur it is sure to be added
to the annals IN letters Of blood. The
traditions Of the tribe show that almost
the only blood shed in private quarreIs
have been from this cause.

Sir Thomas Grattan EsInonde.

The Dublin convention have selected
a man who is likely to do honor to the
cause in Sir Thomas GraUtan Esmonde.
He is descended on the one side from
an ancestor the very mention OF whom
is sufficient to rouse the enthusiasm OF
all Irishmen, and on the other from a
1913 martyr. An aristocrat and land
lord, SIR Thomas ESmOnde is Ill favor
OF doing away with the classes to which
he belongs, and from his fearless and
outspoken exposition OF his views at the
convention we have little doubt that he
is sincere III his declaration, and that
the mandate OF the people will lose
by being committed TO his care.
The other conventions go on apace, and
are characterized by the same splendid
spirit. Everywhere the selections may
be described by the American poet as OF
Men whom the lust OF Office does nottill;
Men whom the spoils OF Office eannotb buy;
Men with opinions and with a will
Men OF hOnor-nlen who will not lie.
