Farmers Clubs.

Farmers clubs are great want.
We have State and County Agricult.
ural Societies, with their annual fairs.
which are good as far as they go, but
their meetings for discussions are gen.
orally but once 4 year, and these dur
the fair week, when the attentions is
very mich absorbed with Fair mat
ters. We have agricultural papers
enough, but their circulation III many
of tho farming towns is very limited.
What we want is farmers club in
every town or buiness center, where
farmers come to market, or to get
their supplies, that they may have Cp-
portunity for q conference, for an hour
or two, on some topic previously an
nounced, and occasional exhibitions
of fruits and vegetables. during tho
summer and fall. In this way. the best
farmers, with their reading, expert
ments and methods, would be brought
in close contact with those who are in
the background, and the business of
farming be made far more attractive
and profitable. Our census statistics
for the last thirty years show Il steady
driftof our population toward the
cities and villages. These gain at tho
expense of the agricultural towns. The
school house and church in many OF
them are half empticd. There is no
remedy for this decadence but In the
gospel of husbandry, taught and illus
trated by the farmers themselves,
who should exalt their own calling. -

The leading organs Of European public opinion

The Vionns Mondays Review says it is posi-

Mr. Gladstone and his cabinet for their
blundering management of British for

or later the British people will denounce

says that Mr.. Gladstone has impaired an "ain,.

which the paper declares is alicnating great
continental powers from England. ssWho

WASHINGTON, July Is. The presi.
dents habit Of seeking information

correspondence grew out OF the cpl
sode, and the gentleman, who had
business at the capital on recent Sat.
urday, called at the White House
Although the new custom excludes
visitors on that day, the caller WAS
cordially greeted. The president Sat
for an hour conversing with him, and
spoke freely upon many general mat
tiers OF public policy. He expressed
q determination to have
none but good men In Office
and said, with some emphasis, that
when a politician deceived him In
making "A recommendation for an
office, that would end that mans in
fiuence with him.
Among the topics referred to more
particularly was the selection OF Col
lector Heddon for the port OF New

compliance with the suggestion OF any

lion, but solely with a
view TO meeting as far rs
possible the views Of the business
men. To ascertain what iheee views

foot u private inquiry among the busl-

A secret meeting of Democratic magnates
was held at Wateryille Thursday to discuss
the matter uppelmost in the Democratic
mind at present, namely, the offices. Tabu-
iator Chase's intention was to get together
all the Democratic candidates for electors
and for Congress, all the delegates to Chica-
cago, also the Hon. Edmund Wilson,
member of the Democratic National COM
mitt, and the members of the State
committee, and under his direction letters
OF invitation were sent to all these gentle
men. Mr.. Wilson and all the candidates
for Congress declined, however, to walk in
to the Tabulator's parlor, aud accordingly
the attendance was rather small. AS far as
has leaked out the energies Of the meeting
were devoted principally TO organizing a
boom for John B. Redman for foreign
mission.

The Mahdfs victory at Khartoum will
greatly strengthen his prestige and tribes
heretofore neutral or disposed to assist the
English will flock to his standard. Besides
at Khartoum he probably has captured
large quantity of military stores which will
greatly increase the efficiency of his forces.
Gen. Wolseley telegraphs that the tribes
about Gubat already have heard Of Khar-
toum's fall and are becoming insolent and
threatening. II they are SO disposed they
can easily cut off Stewards communication
with Gen. Wolseley and isolate him in his
present position. Reinforcements are now
being hurried forward to Wolseley, but if
it takes them as long to get to Korti as it
did Wolseley it will be weeks before he will
be strong enough to advance Before that
time Stewards forces may have been starved
into surrender. The situation is evidently
desperate, perhaps even more so than it
appears to be, for all the dispatches from
Korti have to pass beneath the eye of Gen.
Woselev.
