A BRIGHT IDEA.

The Independent candidate fer
Circuit Judge of this district hss
at last discovered how necessary
it is to belong to some political
party. He can not claim to be a
republican as his opponent be-
longs to that party and is its reg
ular nominee. Neither can he
consistently claim kinship with
the democrats for he has utterly ig-
nored the democratic party for the
past ten years. He can not come
out as a prohibitionist for his
coversion would seem too recent
in Adair county and would insult
the saloon element of Macon
county. He can not affiliate with
the Greenbackers as he had 8
regular street fight with, and
whipped the only Greenbs.ck edl.
tor that ever came TO Aasyir county.
But a bright idea, product of his
wonderful genius, has come to his
rescue, and now when pres sed by
some farmer to know what his 90
litical faith really is, he blan,lly
replies, 81 am an old line Viii g.
Shades of Henry Clay! Such /,
declaration by the Independ' IN
candidate is enough to make ii,
Kentucky statesman turn over il
his coffin and ask himself tn,
question: Were we ever a Viii g?

TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
In One-Dollar Bills to Be lssued-A
Prospect that Silver Coin Will
Disappear.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Judging
from the talk at the treasury de-
partment it appears to be settled
fact that national banks will have
to replace their 3 per cent bonds
which have been called with 4 or AZ
per cents. Officials maintain that
there is no reason for any other
construction of the law. 1t is pre-
dicted at the department that there
will be cessation of the circula-
ton of the standard dollars in pro-
portion of the amount of one, two
and five dollars certificates issued
as soon as the latter can reach the
hands of the people. Officials say
that no one will want coin when
the certificates are accessible

Give Them a Chance.

Why should not the boys and
girls have a chance on the farm?
Why should they be expected to
work year after year and receive
only board and clothes, with no
education in the art of caring for
themselM. There are plenty of
things tRat they can do that will
teach them the value of money and
the ways of using it. Let the boy
have a few acres of land of his
own. Let him care for it, pay the
expenses, and receive the receipts.
The money that he has left at the
end of the season, will be more
valuable to him because he has
earned it, and he will care for it
better. The girls can care for
poultry or bees and accumulate q
little stock of money of their own.
The lesson will be even more val
liable to them than the boys, since
SO many girls have no idea of
money except to receive it from
the father. independence in
making money is needed by them
and this independence can easily
be gained, with a little help and
direction from the older ones in
the family. Tryit with both boys
and girls. and the result will be
good. If they do not make much
at first, encourage another trial,
and if when they come of age
they have a little sum earned by
their own work, they will be liable
to invest it more wisely than they
would if the same amount was
given them. Give them a chanco.

The Library Magazine.

Readers of the Library Maga-
zine are given a surprise, in the
October issue, by the publishers
announcement of reduction in
price to S1.00 a year, and this
without reduction of quantity of
literary matter given. Consider
ing the fact that it gives more good
solid" reading than either of the
great S4.00 Magazines, its price
seemed already low enough-the
only explanation is that alden" is
the publisher. The October part
contains seventeen leading articles
and twenty-four shorter articles
in the department Of Current
Thoughts . Froude, the historian,
writes of the knight Templars"
Geo. S. Coe, the great banker, of
"Bank and Commerce; the first
Governor of Texas is sketched in
a readable paper; the Marquis of
Lorne writes of Transatlantic
Home Rule;" Oliver Wendell
Holmes has attention in a strong
paper which is not all fattery; be-
sides which are papers on New
Eyes for Science" "The Diamond
Mines of South Africa" Etc. A
specimen copy of the Magazine is
sent free to any applicant by the
publisher, John B. Alden, New

THEFAIRS.

The fair season is drawing to q
close, and has been fairly sue
cessful one, revealing a prosperous
condition OF the farming interests.
The county fair has double pur-
pose, as q means of recreation and
a competitive exhibition of pro-
ducts. Whoever plants a field or
Pounds herd with view to put
ting iton exhibition by the side of
those of his nsighbors, will cer-
tainiy give it such extra care as to
add to the profits of the venture.
So the country fair means increas-
ed wealth to all who compete for
premiums. The social feature of
these meetings is not less valu-
able in that it draws the farmer
and his family away from what
becomes the monotony of home,
and cements the whole community
in the bonds of good fellowship. A
farmers reunion without any dis
play of crops, cattle, hogs, horses
or sheep would be an excellent
thing for any county, but the far
mer is controlled by the idea of
utility so that having something to
put on exhibition causes him the
more readily to give up the week
to mingling with his neighbors.
The union of the practical with
the social is we'll enough and the
custom of holding county fairs
should receive the encouragement
,of not only the farmers but the
people of the cities and towns as
we'll. While fairs haye been hello
in the counties all around us, we
hope that Adair county will Learn
the value of them in the develop
ment of the agricultural resources
which really constitute the waaltl
of any community, and next season
have fair that will be second t
no county fair in the state.

Speaker Carlisle has again
been interviewed on the tariff ques-
ton, and it is probable that the
question will again come before
congress for consideration and re-
vision. This means that the busi-
ness interests OF the country will
be forced into another period of
suspense, making uncertain the
employment and wages of laborers.
Ii the consideration of the tariff
question were to be dropped for
the next decade, there would be
such a growth in the prosperity of
the nation as to surprise all par
ties. The only effect of tariff tink-
ering is to frighten capital and
keep the laboring classes out of
employment.

St. Nicholas For October, 1886.

Is almost series Of climaxes,
and its readers will be divided be-
tween JOY at the ending of all the
serials and regret that they are
ended at all.
This is the last number of the
present volume, and contains the
concluding chapters of Little
Lord Fauntleroy," Mrs. Burnett's
delightful and most successful
story; of George Washington"
Horace E. Scudder's entertaining
story of the life of our country's
greatest hero; Of "The Kelp-
gatherers," ]. t. Trowbridge's
popular and realistic account of
boy-life ON the Maine coast; of
"Nan's Revolt" Rose Latlmore
Alling's clever description of how
four bright girls broke away from
the slavery of fashion; and of
wonders Of the Alphabet" the
interesting papers, by Henry Eek
ford, ON a subject most of us know
too well to know much about.
A glance at the prospectus, how
ever, will make it clear that it is
not proposed to allow the maga-
zine to fall off a whit in interest
the coming year. And the con-
tinued stories and articles Just
completed will be closely followed
by the attractive features promised
for the succeeding volume.

Why is it?

Here is a question for some
good Democrat to answer, and is
suggested to us by a democratic
friend who has recently returned
from Kansas: "Why is it that
land in Kansas, without improve
ments, timber or water, in a
sparsely settled district, with but
few schools and churches, is worth
more than the same class of land
in Lewis county where we have
public improvements of all
kinds, with good schools, colleges
and churches?" To this we put
another question: can imaginary
line divides the states of Iowa and
Missouri; why is it that land is
worth from So to SO per acre
more on the Iowa side of the line
than ON the Missouri side?' Re-
member, it is all the same quality
of land, bearing the same products
and with equal facilities for ship
ping. Of course there is a reason
for these things and we suggest
that our Democratic readers give
the matter little careful thought.

The October Century.

Few numbers of THE CENTURY
have appealed to so wide an
audience with topics of such
general interest as the October
issue. 1t is important for what it
promises no less than by what it
gives. An editorial in "Topics of
the Time" announces that in the
November number will be given
the first chapters of "The Au-
thorized Life Of Lincoln, by John
G. Nicolay and John Hay, who
we're the Presidents private
secretaries. As Lincoln is the
greatestfgure in American history,
so are his chosen biographers by
opportunity, no less than literary
faculty, best qualified to make the
story of his life a gain to Ameri-
can literature. Readers who have
not the personal interest of the
veterans of the war in the battle
series, will find in the history OF
Lincoln, as itappears serially, and
carefully illustrated, the blending
of literary charm, the romance Of
genius, and the interest of moment.
Gus events; while soldier-readers
as the war series becomes less and
less prominent as feature of the
magazine, will see in the biography
of the civil chieftain a larger view
of the leading personalities and
motives of the struggle.

1T WON'T WORK.

The Democrat of last week at
tempted to make political cs .pital
out of the vote that was ca st by
Judge G. W. Novinger on easing
the Baylor building for county
offices in 1883. The Demo cra1 re.
ferred to it at that time and was
fully answered in the llext issue
by Judge ]. O. Johnson. Below
we give Judge Johnson s commu
nication which appeared in the
columns of the Democrat of Feb
LIST, 1883.

Judge Johnson's Letter.

ED. DEMocRAT:-I see from a
late issae of the Democrat that
you would like to know how it
came that the County Court rent
ed the present cour .ty offices at a
loss of $3.50 a year. / think if you
had been acquaint ed with all the
facts in the case, you would not
have asked the q 1estion.
First, the office are now all to-
gether which b as not been the
case for years. They are easy of
access, the eolb ,ctor, treasurer end
county clerk, all on the ground
floor; no ontsi de slippery stairs to
climb, as an & he Masonic building,
that for ons third of the year are
dangerous for any but the sure
footed to- ascend, and where old
men. ladie and cripples, dare not
try, but W ould turn and go back
and get 81 pme one to 60 up and do
their bnf mess for them, which
was aim ost a daily occurrence.
Now, Mr. Editor, there are few
men in the county that would
move tn collectors office back into
the smo ky garret up two pairs of
stairs even the agents of the
Associ alton did not propose to do
that, b ut said a collectors Office
could be rented elsewhere. Now
come to the figures: The present
rooms at $3.50 per year equal
S140O. The Association at 5000 a
year equal $500. The collectors
Office $40 per month (as good an
Office as we now have, could not be
had for less) four years $3.50. Cost
of moving, $50, (Which was the
bid tot al $3.50 a saving of ST.
5O per ye ar, and the offices scat
tered all over town. I think the
people d o understand this kind of
econom. J, at least all l have met
do, and 1 have talked with many
of the J argest tax payers among
your 81 lbscribers. they don't like
to favo r an Association who two
years ago tried to extort S700 per
year f rom the county for the same
rooms [ think Mr.. Editor, little
stirril lg up of this subject a good
thing l am only too happy to say
that ] voted yes on the PROPOSE
ton 10 rent rooms we now have.
