Secretary Fairchiid's Unique Views on
Civil Service Reform.

WASHINGTON, June 24th.-Secretary Fair
child has written long letter to George
William Curtis, President of the New York
Civil Service Reform Association, protest
ing against the latter's editorial criticisms
on the matter OF removals from the New
York Custom-house. The Secretary de-
ciares that he did only his duty in remov-
Ing certain persons In connection with the
sugar appralsements, and points TO the
fact that since these removals the Govern
meat has collected $500 a day in New
York more on sugar than it did before.
He also points out that by them the Secre-
tary is only accountable for abuses of the
kind mentioned, and ne has nobody else
-Congressmen nor politicians-to divide
the blame with him.
The Secretary says in conclusion: Il
unprejudiced and fair-minded persons that
knowingly nave not grleyousiy slnned

service reform, in the merit and import

THE STATE FAIR.

The reports agree that much activity is
manifest in the agricultural counties in
preparation for the approaching State Fair
1t is a promise that we are to have very
fine exhibition. II is essential to a COM
plete exposition that the county exhibit
department be made unusually large and
attractive. To this end it is to be hoped
the friends of State development will in
dustriously labor. We are TO have in Sep
TENDER large number Of Eastern visitors
in the State. They are focking here
already, and it is Of the highest Importance
that they shall find our fairs fully repre-
sentative of the productive capacity OF our
soil. We are 10 he judged largely by
Eastern visitors by these district, county
and State fairs, and especially the latter,
for they have been taught at home that
such expositions ought to be thoroughly
illustrative of the section represented.
Paucity of exhibits, indifference by the
people in competing. and failure to make
the county exhibits numerous and
richly instructive will, therefore, oper-
ate to the positive damage of the State.
We trust that our interior contemporaries
will urge the people to organize for the
purpose Of having full county exhibits
made, and, in the several counties where
organization has already been effected, to
send to the local Superintendent very full
exhibits of produce, manufacture, and all
things that will fairly illustrate our soil
capacity and climatic advantages The

little. 1t is public-spirited matter,
free from selfish interest, and one that
ought to engage some of the energy of
every manufacturer, orchardist, stock
raiser, vineyardist and soil cultiyator in
California. The State Fair is an institu-
ton belonging to all the people, and it
ought to be representative of their inter
ests in every county in the State, and the
means of transportation are such now that
it can be made so. That some of the more
distant counties do not manifest deep con-
Germ in it is to their discredit, and it
should be removed this year by such an
influx OF exhibits as will make the fair of
1888 notable in the annals of the State as
an exponent Of State resources in the
fullest and truest sense.

The Weeks Weather and Crop Reports
by the signal Service Office.

WASHINGTON, June 24th.-The Signal
Service crop bulletin for the past week
says: The weather in the grain regions OF
the Northwest has been generally favorable
for growing crops, and the conditions have
improved in the upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys and Michigan, although
heavy local rains in Missouri are reported
to have injured wheat and delayed har-
vesting. Az excess of rain is reported
from Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi,
which has been unfavorable to the COM
mon crop.
In the west portion OF the cotton re-
gion less rain and clear weather would
doubtless benefit the growing crops, while
in the eastern portion the weather has been
favorable for sll crops. In Ohio, Indiana
and Connecticut more rain is needed, while
generally throughout the Middle, Atlantic
and New England States the weather has
improved the crop CONDITION.
Harvesting Is in progress in Tennessee
and Kentucky. Where the weather is
cold the conditions have been favorable Tor
wheat and corn, but unfavorable Tor grass. y

STOCKTON, June 24th.-Stockton is wild
tonight. The home team won their fif-
teenth consecutive game, downing the
champion Pioneers by a score of to 8. 1t
looked like Pioneer game at the begin
ming. In the first inning the Stocktons re-
tired with goose-egg. n. Smith got his
base on balls, reaching second on Dona-
hue's hit. Donahue stole second and
crossed the initial on account of ball
hitting Hurleys bat and bouncing back
ward.
In the third inning Selma was hit by the
pitcher, ard in attempting 10 stea, second
made dive and knocked Donahue-who
had jumped into the air in an attempt to
catch high throw by Hurley-off his feet,
and Donahue fell heavily, striking on his
neck and shoulder, and lay on the ground
lmmovable.
a scene of excitement ensued, and the
cry arose that Donahue's neck was broken.
The game was stopped, and Donahue was
conveyed from the field, as yet giving no sign
OF lie. Under the care of physician he
soon regained consciousness, and the doctor
stated that his injuries were not severe
Carroll was substituted for Donahue, and
the game proceeded. Selma had reached
third and scored the first run for the Stock
tons on Pache's sacrifice
No more runs were made by either club
until the sixth inning, when the Stocktons
lit onto Creanor's delivery numerically,
and by piling up singles and doubles and
triples amassed six runs. Each club scored
run in the ninth inning.
Whitehead and Stockwell did great work
in points, Whitehead striking out fifteen
men, and was sized for only four singles.
Stockwells catching was magnificent, and
he saved many runs by gathering in wild
balls. Nine hits were made off Creanor.
Both clubs played ball for all they were
worth, and not one of the seven errors had
- n smell to it,

BUBNED OUT.
The Town of HOlbrook, Ariz, Almost En-
tirely Swept AWAY

HoLBRooK, June 24th.-At2 o'clock YES
terday afternoon fire started in the south
west portion of this town, destroying the
entire business part, including the Atlantic
and Pacific depot, section-house and large
number of cars. The loss is not less than
5000 600.
The fire originated in the wool ware
house belonging TO H. H. Scores, and it is
supposed to have been a case of spontaneous
combustion.
There was a strong wind from the south
west and the fire was so furious that people
lost trunks, clothing and bedding The
estimated loss on the buildings and con-
tents belonging to citizens is not less than
100000
No lives were lost, although there were
several narrow escapes, The smoke and
fire of the burning town were seen by parties
twenty miles away.
At one time the streets were piled full of
goods and effects, but the fire was hot and
furious and they were burned where they
lay. The only portion of the town left
consists of scattering dwellings.
With the exception of part of carload
of flour belonging to A. q B. Schustar, no
provisions of any kind are left in town.
