refreshing. The men were on the ground
bright and early to put in the best con-
dition the portion Of ground set apart
for the base ball players. The crowd
commenced to pour in early in the day.

ton, and all those having charge Of ex-
hibits were on hand to meet the earliest

their goods. 1t was decided to have two
extra pony races and one mule race.
The mile running race, which was for .
purse of $3.50, was inadvertently left off
the days program, but as it was announc-
ed yesterday that it would not come of
then on account Of the heaviness Of u
portion the track, i! was we'll known
that it would be II special feature of to-
days entertainment.
The board Of directors appointed L.
S. Edison and Col. Ely committee.

perintend the carrying out Of the pr"
gram. These gentlemen selected Capt.

the boys.
BY eleyen o'clock there were as many
persons on the grounds as at any time
on the first or second day. The farm

partnent we're smoking, putting and

he selected Capt. Atkins and ]. H. Nc
Cune Of Towner county, and G. W. Dix
on Of Ramsey county to examine
the different displays and award the
diplomas to the exhibitor making the
largest ana best ulspIaY Oh IHaculneEY,
wagons, plows, etc. After making q
thorough III examination they decided
that Alex Walkers display was the larg.
est and best, and he was accordingly
given the diploma.
Col. Ely and r. S. Edison acted as a
committee in awarding the purse for
the best gentlemen's single driving
! horse. w. II. Garbutt's chestnut geld
ing, Dave, was the only horse entered, /,
and he took the purse although If
there had been more entries, Dave
would not have been discredit to his
owner.
The clouds of the morning seryed the
people as canopy from the rays of the
hot sun which was frowning down, and
the few drops of rain were refreshing.

Gath" continues to abuse Pres
ident Cleveland in his scurrilous,
slushy way in the Cincinnati En-
quirer. "Gath's" enmity to Cleve-
land arises out of the fact that he
was. an ardent Blaine man and
would have received a good office if
Blame had been elected. But what
object has the Enquirer in allowing
him to use its columns to vent his
spite on the president? There is no
news in what he writes, nothing
but a dreary drivelof whining COM
plants that the government is not
run according to "Gath's notion'
and a never ceasing complaint that
Blaine was beaten. What does the
Enquirer print the fellows wretched
stuff for, anyhow?

Oleomargarine is a greater enc
my to the farmers, and through
them an injury to the prosperity of
the whole country than is general
ly imagined. The figures of the
growth and sale of this bogus but
ter are truly alarming. In 1880 the
country exported 80, 1886, 655
of butter and 100000 pounds of
oleomargarine, but in 1885 the ex-
ports Interchangeable nearly reach
ed 3o,OOO,OOo, while the exporta-
ton of butter declined to 1885,
12S pounds. Fifty million pounds
is the present magnitude of the
manufacture of the bogus article,
out of which dishonest men are
making enormous fortunes. The
law prohibits the fraudulent sale
of the imitation product, but it
goes on nevertheless despite the
exertions of the authorities to pre-
vent it, the claim being made that
the law is SO full of loop-holes that
it is almost impossible to secure a
conviction under it.

The governor of Connecticut in his
message to the Legislature recon-
mends that the laws of the state onihe
subject of child labor be assimilated
to the law of Massachusetts, by the
passage of an act forbidding such en-
ployment of children under ten years
of age, and providing that no child
under twelve years of age shall be so
employed, except during the vacations
OF the public schools, and that no
child under fourteen years ofage shall
be SO employed unless he or she shall
have attended school twenty weeks
during the next preceding year.
The United States census of 1880
says there were at work at that time
in the mills, shops and factories of the
country ], 10000 children under six
teen years Of age. and the census if
taken today would show one and one
half millions employed at manual la
Dor of the hardest kind, and most of
them working eleven or twelve hours
per day. Child labor was almost I'M
known before the war, and this sys-
tenn Of industry kills off many thou
sands of children each year., and caus-
es the men and women ofthe present
generation to grow up in physical as
well a S moral degeneracy, unable to
discharge their duties to the state and
to society.
Shortly after the Rev. Sam Jones
came to Cincinnati he preached o very
strong sermon against the pew-renting
practices ofthe churches of today, and
used a whip of scorpions on the Off

resort TO such measures 20 meet their
financial obligations. Trinity church
was especially and severely criticized.
His remarks were greeted with a
storm of "amens!" presumably from
the members of this fold, and it was
thought the earnest and truthful words
of the evangelist would be needed, es-
pecially since Trinity church is The
avowed champion of Mr.. Jones. But
as late as Sunday last the "pew-rent-
ing notice" was still conspicuously
displayed in the upper hall of that

is in the interest of land specula-

The American Iron and Steel
Association has received from man
ufacturers detailed pig iron statis-
tics for 1885. The product of all
kinds of pig iron in the United
States was 4,529,S 500 net tons. In
1884, 4,5S9,613 net, a decrease of

according to the fuel used, was as
follows: Bituminous, 3,675,635
tons; anthracite, 1,454,390 tons;
charcoal, 399,S44 tons. The great

An eminent jurist of New York
doubts if the Supreme court of the
United States will sustain the de-
cision of Judge Brewer, of Kansas.
that a state must pay for property
made valueless through prohibi-
ton legislation. He says a citizen
cannot sue his state in its own
court except by special authority
of a state law, and the eleventh
amendment of the Federal consti-
tuition declares that the judicial
power of the United States does not
extend to suits commenced or pros
ecuted against a state by citizens.
He reasons that it is not unlikely,
therefore, that the Supreme court
will decide that the claim to COM
pensation, while worthy of the con-
sideration ofthe legislature, cannot
be enforced by the courts.

The Presidential succession bill,
which has passed both Houses of
Congress and now only lacks the
Presidents signature to become a
law, is a measure that ought to
have been adopted long ago, as it
makes provision for all emergen-
cies through the possibilities of
death. There now being no Vice
President, under the bill Secretary
Bayard would take the Presidents
place should the latter die. The
Secretary of the Treasury would be
next in succession, and so on
through the Cabinet, until the close
of the term for which the President
was elected.
