The state Fa1r Next Month.

The Connecticut State agricultural fair to be held in Meriden September IA, 15, 16 and F undoubtedly will be the largest and most interesting in the history of the society. Greater facilities are being prepared for the exhibition of stock, farmers products, agri- cultural tools, etc., than heretofore, several acres having been added to the park. A building 1OOx35 feet with verandah 10 feet wide extending all around will soon be com pleted The lower story will be used for the exhibit of agricultural implements, etc., and the upper story for the exhibit of agricultu- ral products, etc.
 The grange exhibit will be the great attrac- tion of the fair, as most of the grangers of the State will exhibit under the big tent of the society, and if not large enough an annex will be made to accommodate all exhibits. It undoubtedly will be the largest display of agricultural products ever brought together. It is hoped that every farmer will do some thing to help make this seventeenth annual fair grand success.

PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
Young Colored Boy Falls Asleep OH
 Railroad Track.

Charles Jackson, a colored boy seventeen years old, was struck by train on the Con solidated road due at Hartford at 2:4O yes- terday morning. He received injuries which will probably prove fatal. He was first seen by the engineer of the express when it was too late to stop the train, but he was lying outside the rails and apparently clear of dan ger. The edge of the pilot, however, caught his foot, ripping the shoe off and breaking his right leg, and then struck again above his hip and tore along his side. The accident happened above Hayden's station and Jack son was put on the train and brought to Hartford. A hurried examination was made at the depot and then Superintendent David son put the boy in a wagon and had him taken to the hospital.
 He had tramped from Springfield and after eating a lunch near where he was struck lay down on the stone ballast beside the track and fell asleep to be awakened by the blow from the engine

town of Osceola on April 9th, 1886,
he might have sketched a picture
that would have far surpassed his
Election for Beadle. Imagine, sir,
what was missed by not having an
artist present to sketch our officials
as they marched the prisoners out of
Jail to vote the republican ticket!
Imagine, if you can, what a grand
stroke of the pencil it would have
required to have sketched those sa-
BILE henchmen as they came packing
that old "dumb"( pauper, Butler,
jim to cast his vote for the WORKING
MANS TICKET! Think what pathos
would have been added, to have
preserved those skillful maneauvres
and frantic gestures, as they were
ordered to hold up their hands and
swear, yes, swear anything the judges
might ask them in order that they
might vote.
We claim to be reasonable, and
only ask for honesty and fair play,
and with that are willing to submit
to the mandates of the law; but as
free and Independent citizen, we de-
mand of our Courts the strict enforce
ment OF all laws as regards both cit
izens and their servants, the officials.
Our courts are, in theory, the guar.
dian of each citizen; but when we
see the stupidity, the tardiness, the
dishonesty and double dealings of
officialism, demonstrated almost dai-
ly, it cannot be wondered that courts
are looked upon with suspicion.
Men are too apt to look at the out
side torn and appearances, when in
reality, the inner workings as manip-
ulated by unscrupulous and design
ing men render them contemplate
in the eyes Of all honest men. Theo-
retlcally, the State is the protector
of the rights of its subjects; practi-
cally, the State constantly plays the
part of aggressor. viii the Law
dare deny this? Then, why in the
name of common sense, honesty and
consistency, does she punish by cor
viction and imprisonment parties
who steal few dollars worth in or
der to keep from starving, while
public officials can steal with impu-
nifty thousands upon thousands of
dollars, and the law excuses him and
calls the wholesale robbery by the
mild term, MALFEAsANcE IN OFFICE.
We are not making any war on our
Judicial system, but ask a strict en-
forcement Of its provisions. Let our
Judges uphold the majesty of the
law. Let our Grand Juries show
themselves to be fearless, upright
and honorable men. Let them do
their duty regardless of friend or foe,
or Of official position, for on them
depend the peace and quietude Of
society.
