LONDON, June 9.-In the commons to- day
Vincent called the attention of the house to
the fact that the house of representatives at
Washington had passed bill for enhanced
prohibitory duties on cutlery, tin plate and
other articles of British export. He asked
whether the English government, having
regard for the disastrous effect which the
senate's approval must have upon Sheffield,
the Midlands, South Wales and Belfast,
would adhere to their view that the free
import system of the United kingdom pre-
cluded instruction to the British minister
at Washington to represent to tho United
States government the injury that such
legislation would do to the industry of a
friendly power, which, in 1885, gave free
market to sos 900, $50 worth Of American
competing goods. Secretary Ferguson said
the government had not been informed of
any important alteration of the tariff bill.
Caprivi Nervous.
BERLIN, June 9.-Before tho committee
on army bill to-day Chancellor Won Caprivi
expressed concurrence in the statement of
the minister of war that il would be i'm
possible to reduce the term of compulsory
military service. Leaders of the freisinnice
party declared the bill not acceptable to
them unless the term of service is short
ened. In the course of his remarks Chan
cellor Won Caprivi said the withdrawal of Bis
marck had left affairs, from their nature. less
se SECURE 81 than when his fascinating personality
find the simplest duties difficult because his
weight does not fall into the scale. Let us
wait another year, then, if necessary, /
shall be prepared to combat all conflicting
elements here, but to-day face the fray
with some anxiety"

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The notice Of the Superintendent of
the Worthington Schools. of the OPEN
ing Of the fall term will be found in
this week 8 issue. We would add a
word to emphasize the very proper and
urgent request Of the Superintendent
that pnpils begin on the irst day of the
term and be constant and regular In
their attendance.
Young people do not always feel the
necessity of prompt and regular at
tendance, AZ we'll as diligence, in study
as parents and teachers do, hence the
teacher and the parent should remind
them of the impo' lance of both. The
reputation of the schools largely de-
ponds upon prompt and regular attend
ance. In the work OF education the
teacher Is only one Of number of
agencies. The teachers work is
onerous enough at best. but il very
difficult if both pupils and. parents do
not cooperate.
Our schools have now good stand
ing among the educational institutions
OF the State. We may we'll cougratu-
late our youth Oh having at hand the
best facilities of obtaining a good AGA
demic course. If any Of our youth go
into business life with al incomplete
mental equipment 1t will be in them q
fault, little short of crime. The only
excuse will be poverty of intellect,
which excuse few will he entitled to
make or would be inclined to offer, il
it were a true excuse. Let all eadeavor
ency of our schools. and to make their
success more abundant than ever.

FARMERS FAIRS.

The State and County Fairs are to the
farmers Of the country what the Board
Of Trade or Merchants Exchange is to
the dealers in grain, or stocks and
merchandise. It is somewhat of the
nature Of the merchants show window,
it displays to- all inquirers after his
goods what he has to offer them. The
fair is our advertisement of farm val.
ues, As they are always determined by
the amount and quality of the things
which the land produces. Not to sus-
tain good State and County fairs is to
neglect = most important and profita.
bic method Of advertising.
Mobiles County farmers have now
SPLENDID opportunity Of setting forth
the value of its farms, as well as the
value Of their products. The year has
been favorable and fruitful, despite of
one or two drawbacks. There has
been good yield, aud most of it Of ex-
cellent quality. After years Of ill for
tune the tiller of the soil has had
harvest which encourages him. A
good exhibit of this years. production
in horses, cattle, sheep, swine, grain,
fruit, etc., will redeem the reputation
which few poor season have to some
extent fastened upon Southwestern
Minnesota. A good fair will present
evidence which no croaker can dispute,
and rival sections. or competing inter-
ests contradict. A good exhibit will
give facts, which will salty the veriest
gradgrind as to tho value aud produc-
tiveness of Mobiles country lands.
The fair is good time and place for
practical men to compare experiences
and discuss methods. The fair week
is full Of instruction to the thoughtful
and enterprising men of the country.
Next to the Farmers's Institute it is
the best means of correcting mistakes
and disseminating valuable informa-
ton.
Now, az crops are being gathered.
let the best specimens of each farm
product be set aside and preserved for
the fair. Give thought to the matter.
Let every farm in the county be repre-.
scented. Let premiums be the last thing
considered. All who worthily and
creditably compete can not be winners.
But where all contribute of their best,
none will fail of compensation for their
trouble in the advertisement of the
capabilities of the country. There are
multitude of enterprising young men
in all the eastern states prospecting
for western lands. Many of these we
can secure for this county. where
many acres are waiting for the magic,
creative touch of the tiller's hand.
Let our fair show what this good har-
vest of 1890 has brought to the hands
of the intelligent and the diligent
worker.
Let our towns all be represented in
their merchandise, their manufactures
and their works Of taste and art. Let
no differences or grudges of the past,
if such there lie, keep any one away,
or keep any one from putting his best
products before the public eye. A
good fair will heighten the dignity and
increase the self respect of every young
farmer. 1t will increase the value of
every homestead aud enhance the
financial welfare of the entire COM
munity,
