FAIR NOTES.

The weather was excellent. A
little storm Wednesday night pre-
vented some from coming in early
Thursday. The largest atten-
dance was on Friday and Satur-
day.
Inside the grounds the crowd
was kept reasonably quiet. Only
one accident reported, that of Miles
Gammill who was run over by DIR.
G. G. Morris while the latter was
driving on the outside ring. Mr..
Gammill received quite a shock
but was not seriously hurt.
STOCK.
The display of Hardin County
stock was noticeably better than
usual, but the foreign display was
noticcably absent.
LADIES' RIDE.
The ring was unusually full /;
made up of Misses Lizzie Convey,
Annie Primm, Mamie Hudiburg,
Belle Convey, Maggie Brown, An
ME Walker, and Mrs. /. G. Walker.
There were several good riders
among the number, but Mrs. Walk
er carried off the blue ribbon and
Miss Annie Primm, the red.
THE FLORAL HALL
Sustained it's reputation in mum.
Der and excellence of exhibits
Most everything seemed to have
the blue ribbon attached. There
were number of handsome
Scarfs and Tides that deserve
special mention, but the work OIL
one entered by Mrs. j. w. Akin
was very attractive,-a white
stork which appeared so life-like-
the neck and breast of tufted zeph
yr, and the wings and feathers o
, white chinelle. The floral pieces
we're beautiful; Mrs. j. HI. Skinner
entered a Floral Pyramid, which
measured four feet in circumfer
ence at the base. 1t was quit
! tastefully arranged beginning witt
a row of dahilias and ascending
e with the more delicate flowers, tn
summit of which was capped wit
snow-white roses. 1t containe,
twenty-five different kinds q
:. flowers, all plucked from her ow
, gardens and hot house. She ais

THE NEGRO'S FRIENDS.

Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, pre-
tends to trace, in the attitude OF the
republican party on the tariff ques-
ton, a spirit of hostility to the ne
gro, because the negro is employed
in the production of sugar. Mr..
Morgan's partisanship clouds his
vision, and prevents his correctly
following the fight of that tariff
shaft. The republican party need
indulge in no claims to support it's
friendship for the negro; history
will speak for 1t, and in eloquent
tones that can neither be misunder-
stood nor controverted. The coun.
try will hardly be deceived by this
selfish effort OF the sugar
planters of the South to use the ne.
gro as fender. The lot of the black
man could hardly be made more
intolerable than the whites Of the
South have made 1t. So long as he
is forced to toll beneath the blazing
Southern sun, to gain precarious
living In the cane and cotton fields,
he will be subjected to system Of
Industrial slavery that falls little
short of actual bondage, regardless
of the profits Of his master. Senti
mentally he is free, but the chains
Of slavery will still hold him an un
willing subject OF his employer.
In one way only can the industrial
lot of the negro be bettered, and
that betterment will also be inter
woven with the prosperity Of the
whole South. The development o.
manufactures will solve the prob
lem by opening new fields Of labor
for the white man and also for the
negro. Already the freed man Il
finding employment In Southern
manufactures. The republican

FALSE HISIOR y.

In their comments upon the death
of General John c. Fremont the
Eastern press expose vast fund of
ignorance. Almost without eXcep-
ton the leading newspapers eXalt
the pathfinding experiences of Fre-
mont TO unwarrantcd heights, tho
New York Press going so far as to
compare his discoveries with those of
Stanley, and to declare that he has
a history even more thrilling, full of
daring and adventure than that OF
the African explorer.
Let us examine this thoughtless
declaration in the light of facts and
history, and see what justification
is found for 1t. How would the
world regard Stanley's claims
as an explorer and n path
finder II he had followed the torch
of civilization as Fremont followed
1t? II all along his path there had
been innumerable dead campfires
of English settlers, who had been
accompanied by their wives and
children? Would Stanley have any
standing as IA pathfinder If he had
found, upon his arrival at the head
waters of the Congo, in the heart ol
Africa, the British colors floating In
the breeze? When Fremont reached
the Pacific Northwest he found sew
eral thousand American settlers, 1

ernment, schools, churches, and a

AHEAD OF OREGON

The child has become greater than
the parent. 1t now seems probable
that the census will show that
Washington, once part of the ter
ritory Of Oregon, has passed that old
state in the march to supremacy,
and that to-day state admitted
only a few months ago has popu-
lation larger than that of one that
came into the Union thirty-one
years ago. The Oregonian says 1t il
extremely doubtful whether the
new census will entitle Oregon to
an additional member Of the house
Of representatives, and lays the re-
sponsibllity upon the census takers.
Eastern Oregon, according to the
census just taken, has only
II 500 people. When the full re.
turns have been received from the
census Office, Eastern Washington
wfil likely show population double
that of the eastern division of Ore
gon. According to Superintendent
Porter's statement, telegraphed yes.
terday to the REVIEW, complete re.
turns Of the original census give this
state u population of 328, 24O, and
supplementary counts in towns and
cities dlsputing the correctness OF
the first count will increase these
figures by 1900 to 10000. Since

sistently takes the REVIEW to task
for Its use of the phrase, las
though" His narrow mind has
room for one form OF expression on
ly; but Webster and the classics are
with the REVIEW In this case, as
well as in other alleged inaccuracies.
Unfortunately, OF rather fortu-
nately, the REVIEWS errors Of Ian
guage are constantly subjected to
tho strong glare of public inspec-
ton, whereas the blunders OF Its
critic are as completely hidden from
the world as though they were "in
the deep bosom of the ocean buried" +"
The imagination can conceive no
more effective hiding place for the
eternal concealment or slips OF ex-
preston than that afforded by the
so.called editorials written by the
Reviews sclf-constituted critic.
After the lapse Of centuries the
tombs Of the Pharaohs have been
opened to the light Of day, the mys-
terry enshrouding the Olympics has
been swept away, some day Charlie
Ross may be found; but the watery
ideas, the outre comparisons and the
myriads of blundes entombed
within the articles written by the
REVIEWS critic, who can neither
write nor criticise with fairness or
intelligence, will remain hidden for

least one newspaper, aud the Amer
lean !colors floating over all.
II wis not until lsi3 that Ere.
mont started for the Pacific coast.
Arc the Eastern papers entirely ig-
norant of the fact that Lewis aud
Clarke penetrated the wild country
between the Mississippi river and
the Pacific coast thirty years pre-
vious to that date, aud wintered at
the mouth of the Columbia river in
the earlier years OF the century?
Why should man who followed
nearly a generation In the wake of
these explorers be honorcd In his
tory with the grandiloquent title Of
pathfinder?
The REVIEW has no desire to de-
tract In the least from the achieve
meDts Of General Fremont. At the
same time 1t proposes to enter a
protest against this general at-
tempt TO rob the real path
finders of their just place In his
tory. Here upon the Pacific coast
We have scores OF settlers, men,
women and children, who came here
years In advance Of Fremont. These
are the true pathfinders, who con-
quered this fair land and gave 1t to
the stars and stripes, and If Fremont
had not been vain and unjust ma n
he would not have consented to
wear laurels that rightfully be-
longed to others--to hardy settlers
who made the paths in which ho
followed, to pioneer mothers and
daughters who suffered In bravery
and patience hardships and faced
dangers that he never encountered
These are the facts about General
Fremont's exploration of the Pacific
coast. and they can be verified by
the Eastern newspaperA by books O
reference in their own offices. ii
is because the REVIEW knows then
to be facts, and because 1t can no
consent In silence to see an attemp
made to rob the real pathfinders o
their honors, and to bury them II
the grave with General Fremont
that IL asserts the truth.

party has made this possible, and
throughout the South this TACT is
being recognized more and more as
old prejudices die out. The South
can only become truly great
aud truly prosperous by the de-
vclopment of her manufacturing In
dustries, and unless Senator Morgan
and his party bow to tho changed
conditions, and forget the past and
It's bitterness and prejudices, the
day will surely come, and IL can
not be far distant, when the repub-
llcan party will drive them from
power in those very states where
their supremacy has so long been
unquestioned.
The republican party is the truest
friend the negro ever had, and more
than that It is likewise the best
friend the South will ever win, that

sources of wealth and prosperity.

Where shall we seek an explana-
ton for Oregon's defeat In the race
with her younger sister, a number
of causes are suggested, and PROB
ably all have combined to prihg
about the surprise. The Oregon
farmer seems to labor under the
erroneous impression that capltal
should constantly be subjected TO
hostile legislation, that 1t should oe
taxed to death and driven from the
/ state, and permitted to find u held
of investment only upon conditions
dictated by the anti-monopolistic ele-
ments. Such legislation has long
been written upon the statute books
and not without effect, Capital has
turned to Washington, where II has
found "a frecr field of investment.
Again, In Oregon there has al
ways been a want of that spirit
which sends men into the wild re-
gions to search for new resources.
It'll possible that Oregon has re
sources as great rs those of Wash
ington, but'they have not been dis
covered, much less developed. Min
ing has never been encouraged. IL
Is known to be a certainty that the
coast mountains are rich in coal and
iron, but what have the capitalist
. of Portland done TO prospect and de-
velop those resources? Practically
nothing. Yet Portland has great
expectations of becoming manuiac
turing center, as she assuredly would
II one-fourth the resources within
fifty miles of the city were devel
oped.
Oregon needs just one essential tc
: keep her in the race with Washing
ton, and that is activity. Too muct
somnolence Is atioat in the air
there is too much contentment
For forty years Portland has beer
getting her coal from abroad, In thu
holds of sailing vessels, and all thl
while great veins of coal were crop
ping out in the surrounding mount
aims.
The people Of Washington hav
been so long accustomed TO turning
to Oregon's delegation in congres
for support that it will seem odd t
20 before the national capital will
larger vote than that of "a neigh
boring state that came into TN
Union thirty.one years ago.
The offspring has become create
than the parent. Let Oregon lool

by Edward Atkinson and Henry
George, of the single tax theory, or
government ownership and con-
troll of all the land, has started anew
the general discussion of most in
terestlng question. The REVIEW il
not prepared to deny that changing
conditions may ultimately force the
world to the adoption OF the under

theory, but it can not understand
how any one familiar with the his
tory of the United States and the
West can advocate Its present appli'

AN IGNORANT CRITIC.

A self-constituted critic of the RE-
VIEW, with characteristic ignorance
and stupidity, displays great con-
cern over the character of the En-
glish employed In these columns.
We shall preface these remarks by
candidly admitting that the RE-
VIEW makes no lofty claims of in
fallibility. No newspaper writer
will, unless his ignorance far out
weighs his common sense and
knowledge Of his profession, be
cause, as the world knows, the
preparation Of articles for newspaper
publication In always under the
stimulus of haste, that most prolif.
( ic breeder of inaccuracy and errors.
The amusing feature Of thess
blundering critiques lies In the fact
that the so-called critic invariably
exposes his own ignorance. The
beauty and strength of the English
language are found In It's wonderfu
fiexibility and wide scope of expires
sion. The mind OF the averag,
critic Is powerless to grasp these ap
parent facts. AT some time In tn,
shadowy past he has learned to say
"Polly wants a cracker ant
now he has become firmly con
vinced that English gramma
will permit Of no variation
upon that hackneyed expression
This is why he falls into lnughabi
errors that are never made by thos
who take as their guide the ules

dictionary, and that is why he per

LOFTY Sci Esd CR[EICE.

lteV. futneT JOSEF, WHO 10 quietly
rounding out u useful and cveptful
career at Gonzaga college, in this
city, and who celebrated the S0th
anniversary of his birth on Thurs
day, deserves an honored place In
the history of this state. He came
to this region, we believe, in 1874,
when the upper country was path
less wilderness, and established the
old Catholic mission upon the Coeur
d'Alene river, still standing as a
monument to his beautiful self-sac-
rifice.
Wonder is often expressed at the
remarkable success that has at
tended the Catholic missions among
the Indians. The explanation must
be sought in the Influence left upon
the savage mind by the examples of
sublime patience and fortitude set
by the Catholic priests who were
placed in charge of those missions
When Father Josef came as mis-
sionary among the Caur d'Alene
Indians he left behind him all the
comforts of civilization, and brought
with him only the emblems of the
church and a lofty resolution to bet
ter the lot of the savages of the far
| West. The erection of the mission
church was attended with innumer-
able difficulties. The timbers were
all hewn out of the adjacent forests
and fastened together by means Of
wooden pins, and the ropes used in
hauling these timbers were woven
out of strong grasses taken from the
marshy banks of the river. During
his long service among the Indians
/ Father Josef was often reduced to
! the direst necessity. One severe
winter, when famine stalked among
the Indians, life was sustained for q
long period on nothing but moss.
When the Indians learned that
the whole object of the mission was
their Improvement, they placed
themselves in control Of Father Jo-
set, and the results are plainly seen
to-day by anyone who may 60 up
on the reservation. The Indians
are honest and industrious. They
have herds of fine stock, till the rich
soil with success and dwell in conf
Portable houses. They bear repu-
tation of honesty among men who
have gone among them on missions
of business, and keep their word In
matters of business even more con-
scientiously than white men. The
aged men of the tribe show theil
love and veneration for tho old mis-
sion by insisting that when they die
their bodies be laid away in the old
cemetery andinot in that of the new
mission.
To Father Josef Ia given the credit
of inspiring in the minds and hearts
of these children of nature, by many
years of self-sacrifce and toll, senti
ments of industry, honesty, sobriet,
and thrift. Is not this lifeworl
worthy of honorable mention In th'
annals of the new state?
In the light Of these facts, th'
public, we believe, will earnestly ap
prove the action of the Northwest
ern delegation ip the senate in sup
, porting the mission schools and vot
: ing for appropriations for their sup
{ port.
The Catholic church Is th
{ only church that can Wi
= it's way to the heart
, and confidence of the Indian. Tn
beneficial results of its missions ca
f be traced all over the West, and 1t
:. to this church that the governmen

PASSING ia Us.

w HEN malice steps in reason steps
w out. One of those self-constituted
critics OF the REVIEW who are persist
emily scanning its pages for shining
target, at which to squirt their weekly
decoction of imbecility and stale news,
yilifies this paper for censuring a con-
temporary that made its office a rendez-
vous for prizc-fghters and itself go
between in the preliminaries to prize
fight. This critic bases his. abuse upon
the fact that the REVIEW publishes re-
ports of prize fights. OF course it would
he impossible to convince Mr.. Adam
Aulbach that the mission o; the press is
to report murders and prize fights and
all other violations of the law, and not
TO commit them, or make itself party
TO their commission. IL takes fair de-
gree OF brains to soc even so plain a dis
tinction.
