THERE are drOll people who evidently
fancy that they commend themselves
to admiration by saying that they
never voted any ticket but the republic
can or democratic. If they tell the
truth they exult III having been often
led by very contemplate leaders. In
dependent voting is the result of the
cOmmOn-sense and self-respect which
restrain the excuses of party spirit-a
force which is zeaIously fostered bv
Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Clarkson and Gov
ernOr Hill and Tammany Hall, but
which Washington exhorted us TO re-
strain. He was, perhaps, as sensible,
patriotic and wise as they. 1t is party
spirit, not sympathy with a general
party tendency, which has created the
party machine power without prin-
ciple of any kind, except plumber, and
which has developed patronage into a
vast system OF partisan bribery by
public money.
This is all very elementary for full
grown Americans. But the party
spirit which sneers at indep endence,
and governs by the corruption of
money and terror, is the real foe of re-
publican liberty The bulwarlz OF that
liberty is the political independence
which elected Mr.. Cleveland in 1884.

AT Salt Lake City, on September
18th, 10th and 18th will be the great
est gathering of irrigation men ever
assembled, and the meeting will be of
vast Importance to the west. The
demand for an irrigation convention
of the largest proportions has been
growing very rapidly of late, hence the
calling of this one to be held at the
center of the arid district. Itspurpose
is for the consideration Of matters per-
tanning to the reclamation of the arid
lands of the states and territories west
of the Missouri river; also to petition
congress to donate to each state and
territory the arid land within its Dor
ders, for purposes OF reclamation, for
the support of its public schools and
for such other public purposes as the
legislatures of each state OF territory
may respectively determine. His ex-
| ceHency of Utah has invited the gov
errors of the states and territories to
appoint thirty delegates, at large, from
each of said states and territories, to
the convention. The various CONNER
ciaI, agricultural, scientific and me-
chanicaI associations, together with
each municipal corporation in the sew
| eraI states and territories west of the
Missouri river, are also requested to
| send delegates to the convention.

THE democratic editors of the state
had meeting in Topeka last week,
and soIemnly resolved that the party
in this state should have no fusion
with the alliance. The position of the
democracy of the nation upon all
questions of public policy is the right
one, and the Kansas democratic editors
viii stand by the faith and rehabiIitate
the democratic party. They will issue
an address, defining the situation and
the position of the party in its Teia-
ton to the alliance and republican
parties. This address will be ratified
when they reconvene at Topeka, the
9th of this month.

THERE are a great many more reasons
for blaming the republican party for
the misery Of the farmers of the country
for several years past than there are
for thanking it for the exceptionally
good crops Of the present year. The
tariff legislation of the republican
party was directly responsible for the
bad condition of the farmers, which
the good crops that kind and dis
eliminating providence has now given
them win only partially alleviate. OF
course, every intelligent farmer knows
these things As well as we do.

IT is quietly whispered in certain
localities in this city that the self

have been running Edwards county

years, until last faIl-thinlz seriously
of iuaugurating a move whereby they
may be able to fuse With the peoples
party. The authenticity of this report
might be questioned, but, should it
prove true, THE GRAPHIC predicts
that were such ideas carried into
execution, these seIf-styled republi-
cans, born-leaders, anti-democrats,

that the very unjust restrictions which

THE republicans appear to be plac-
ing more dependence upon the big
crops than upon their record OF argu-
ments, to help them out of the hole in
Ohio and Iowa this year. This isn't
the first time that the republican party
has had the andacity to claim the
credit for good crops.

ONE thing that has been sadly neg
Iected in this state, as in other states
and territories, is the division of the
purse-money at county and state fairs;
two-thirds Is generally awarded to the
sporting element, while the legitimate
enterprises receive only One-third.
Such state of things should not exist.
While it is a fact that to some, without
horse races and gambling, a fair would
be similar to attending a funeral, in
their own estimation, at least, yet
were the purse moneys reversed, two
thirds for legitimate enterprises and
one-third for gambling, we feel conf
dent that a marked degree Of interest
would be taken il county and state
fairs where it now Iags. If it is essen
tial, and the community so demanes,
let us have special days for such events.
We say remove every faint of gambling
from county and state fairs.

The closing lecture of the Friendly Union given at Memorial hall last Fri day evening by Prof Flavel s. Luther, of Hartford. Ct, was one of the best of the course, the subject being "Desrar- tes, and the Phy sical sciences" On account of the high water and the bad state of the roads many were detained at home, but quite large audience was present, and listened with close atten- tion to the speaker who portrayed in a most interesting and scholary manner the life and character of this wonderful man, who lived so long ago yet whose thoughts and discoveries in the Physi- cal science of the ages past are re- vealed to us in this nineteenth century and are of great benefit and blessing to the world. Prof A. M. Baldwin's or chestra furnished the music for the evening which was delightful and much enjoyed by all. ...

MEASLES AND ToMFOoLERY.

There was case of measles the other day in the family of physician, and being a law-abiding doctor he reported the fact to the Board of Health. Of course the physician did not fully un- derstand what was necessary to protect the public from the eontagion and the Health Officer took the matter in hand and boy living next door was duly in formed that he must not attend the public school during the prevalence of the disease in the family of the neigh bor because there was danger of his spreading it, notwithstanding the fact that he had never entered his neigh bor's doorway in his life. The doctor and hls family being good church going people duly sent hls children to Sunday school and attended divine service with his family notwithstanding the measles in bis household. The measles, how ever. cannot be spread on Sunday &C., cording to the rules of our Board of Health. The boy, we understand. was permitted to attend school yesterday af- ter goo1 denl of argument. But then we are all believers in that higher educa. tion which breeds just such instances of tomfoolery as the above.-Bridgeport Leader.
