The Trustees are actively engaged in
making arrangements for the approaching

pleted the revision of the premium list which

gold for best four-year-old stallion; DR..
N. r. Boutelle of Waterville also makes
special offer for Southdown sheep The
State colts stakes races have proved a sue
cess, so far. Of the sixty odd entries in the
four classes. forty-four have paid second
money, which ensures large field
and starters in every class. One
good feature of the exhibition is the
intellectual one, which has been too much
overlooked in the past. The plan is to have
farmer meetings during three evenings of
the fair and one of the lower wings of the
main building will be finished off and arranged
for the purpose. On Tuesday evening the
meeting will be arranged for and in charge
of the Board of Agriculture on Wednesday
evening by the State Pathological Society
and on Thursday evening by the State Grange.

The Republican Ratification.

EDITOR INrELLIGENCER - There was
nothing In the republican parade calculated
10 make II democrat feel badly. On the con-
irary, we felt quite obliged to them for
squandering their money on IA pretty show IN
II hOpelcssIy democratic state. By careful
count there were 65S III the procession. Four
hundred OF these were Africans; of the re-
manning 25S over 20U were foreign born and
many of Them not naturaiized; there were a
few boys, perhaps twenty all told there were
not fifty representative inhabitants of IL
state. IL they had been carefully questioned
not fifty of them could have Interpreted Il e
log cabin, coon and hard cider emblens.
Probably the white men in the procession
thought the coon WAS a token of their respect
to the large size of The colored delegation.
The moral OF IL all ~ not that we have INV
prejudice against the negroes or that we
object TO f%Oreign-bOrn citizens, but that Mis-
souri, is democratic because the Representa-
tive people of The state understand best what
Is the states true interest.
IL was Ii curious instance of how the re-
Publican party is falling 10 pieces when we
noticed the transparency Free Lumber will
Enrich Canada just AT tins ume, when the
two Kansas republican senators are demand
Ing that lumber be put on the free list for the
benefit of ~treelcss Kansas.
But the best Joke OF the whole occa.isn
was that The procession carried IranSparcn-

mandcd by the yeriest Johnny Bull in the
county! Were the ransparenrlcs an apology
for the presence of the man?
