The Manitowoc. County Agricultural
Society, better known as the County Fair,
no longer has Fred Schuette as Presi-
dent. But there is another man at the
head, who like Mr.. Schuette, always
rises to the demands of the position he
assumes,-that is Thomas Torrison.-
There will be no letting down under his
management nor will there be anything
left undone TO make the fair what former
ones have assured, the best in the state.

THE lurid glare of the sun early in the
morning during this period Of drouth is
sight well calculated to depress ones
spirits. 1t is a red ball, rayless, and APP
pears as if seen through smoked glass.
The fear of fires is ever with the farmer.
The ground is literally baked and there
is not moisture enough in the atmosphere
to create dew. With all these dis
advantages the crops do not look SO bad.
Wheat is thin, but the color is generally
good. While hay is very light the quail
ity is unusually good.

THE concert last night was unusually
woll attended and every one seemed well
pleased with the entertainment. The
celebrated Bachs Orchestra fully sus-
tanned its reputation and fully merited
the applause it received. Miss Caring
ton attracted the crowd, however, and it
was her singing which was the chief
source of delight. But it was when she
sang the Last Rose of Summer that she
touched the heart of the audience and
won applause as just tribute to the ex-
cellence of her performance. The house
was hushed by sympathetic impulse
while her voice ranged through the beau
ties of this incompatible song. She
seemed to be fountain of animate music
as she dropped the petals of the rose in
harmony with the sentiment.

LAST week Sheriff Murphy took Nils
Knudson of Cato to the Oshkosh asylum.
His insanity took the form OF intense
religious fervor. He had enclosed a
patch of land on his farm which he called
grave yard and here he spent good
portion of his time in some form Of
religious ceremony. Knudson's malady
has been growing on him for years. He
was naturally bright fellow, and while
living in Liberty was town clerk for
several terms. Though always a little
"queer" he accumulated a good deal of
property.

On Monday the smoke from the forest
fires prevailing to the north was driven
here by the wind and so dense was the

SCHOOL boards are apt to be too hasty

should. If they did everything season

SHERIFF MURPHY succeeded in captur-
ing Petermichel. He learned that per-
son answering the description had stopped
at farmers house at the Pine Grove
settlement in Cato. A countryman of
Petermichel's lives in Franklin and the
sheriff came to the conclusion he was
working to reach this mans house. He
set a watch and the man was caught just
where the sheriff thought he would be
found. He had planned his escape well
and changed his clothes and appearance
so that he could not readily be recognized.

A Beginning of the End.

EDITOR GAZETTE:-I see by the papers that the
majority of the Legislators now proposes to raise
our taxes. Surely portion of our law makers is
not showing patriotism and craftsmanship, in ia
vorlng this bill. They certainly know that the
country is on the verge of bankruptcy; the sugar
industry, taken as whole, does not pay expenses
and from present appearances may pay less, and
some plantations have to close up: and now comes
a majority of our law makers to the front and
helps to close them up.
The country has looked on in silent contempt
while they were appropriating millions Many
appropriations have been simple and uncalled for.
The people considered them as coming from lot
of men who cared but little for the welfare of the
country: that there would be no money to pay them
and that they would not count against the tax
payers.
The rigid economy that his Majesty advised and
was so cordially endorsed by his chief Minister,
proves to be all bOsh. Now, is there a remedy?
Self protection is the first law of nature. All
human rights and powers belong to the people; if
any of these rights have been delegated and not
carried out fully, the people have the right to take
back the delegated powers.
would suggest that the people enroll themselves,
form clubs and organize for the protectonof their
rights and property.
think the minority of our Legislators has done
well. Their votes stand recorded the right side.

Two RiohmOnds In the Field.

Hawaiian credit must be gilt edged TO use
the parlaves of the stock exchange, for we learn
that London and San Francisco are both bidding
for the placing OF the bonds under the new Loan
Act. The parties representing the London capital
will take the bonds at 9S and charge commission
of five per cent. The San Francisco party VIII
take the bonds at par and charge n like commits
sion of five per cent. Upon the face of the offers
it would seem the part of wisdom to take the san
Francisco bid; but may there not be something
under the surface that would throw the Judgment
in favor of the London offer?
We have had one transaction with the san
Francisco party and onght not to care Tor another
We took for five hundred thousand dollars IN
bonds, payable in United States gold coin, ike
sum In silver dollars worth, intrinscally, at the
time of the transaction, eighty-two cents each,
and at this writing worth but seventy cents
each. What they may be worth when the bonds
mature Is what man can tell. In short, the
transaction Melted the San Francisco party a bag
atelle of eighteen per cent But this was not all,
for the San Francisco party foisted upon the hing
and country an administration reckless OF the
interests of Hawaii as so many buccaneers would
be. The insistance of the San Francisco party for
economy at this junctUre of Hawaiian affairs is
hypocritcal, for If any party, more than another,
is TO blame for the rash and negligent manage
ment of public finance in this Kingdom to-day, IT
is the aforesaid San Francisco clique and its hire
ings. The domination in politics of the San
Francisco party has been worse than plague,and
If the difference between ninety-eigh. and par will
rid US of such domination we must urge the ac-
cep.ance of the offer of the English capitalists and
consider the radiance cheap ut the cost.

EDIToR GAzETTE-Dear Sir: With its character
istic propensity for pollutng other peoples clean
clothes with its dirty hands whenever opportunity
offers, the Adrsrfiser'S Kohala correspondent
states IN its latest effort that 'the little plot of
land east of the school house at Ainakea has been
barred since the new school teacher went into
office. 1t is presumed that the net was prompted
by charity, as that as what is preached by the
owner
1t may not be uniting TO far take notice of
this one instance out of many such that have APP
peared IN the AdrerfiSey to say that the bars in
question were put there during the school vaca-
ton, by the native tenant of the adjoining lot for
his own benefit, without the knowledge of the
owner thereof, who afterward decided however, to
keep them there, and bring the land under new
conditions.
That piece OF private property has been open
to the free use of the public for many years. no
reason why it should continue TO always remain
so. Land is continually rising in value and being
appropriated to new uses, under conditions,
and the AdrertiseJ'S correspondent ought to hide
his added head for very shame.
