The Liuing Age has had remarkably
successful career of nearly fifty years.
There could be no stronger proof that

periodicals of all sorts multiply. 1t

of the day. Its prospectus for 1892 is
well worth attention in selecting ones
reading matter for the new year. Re-

iodicals are given, and to new SUBJ
scribers remitting now for the year
1892 the intervening numbers are sent

that when he came here in 1867 he

he has reared a family of five chill

with excellent buildings and is in very
easy circumstances. Yet some people
will growl that farming does not pay.
And still they come. Last night,
about s O'Clock the young man who
drives the delivery wagon for the
popular grocers, Messrs. Young &
Monson, left the horse unhitched
near Main street customers house,
while he went in with several articles.
The horse took fright and started to-
ward Second street and in coming in
contact with telegraph pole in
front of the Commercial House, badly
demolished the wagon. Nobody was
hurt.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.

But little progress is being made at
present toward promoting the fair en-
terprise. At a meeting held last week
to receive bids for fencing the grounds
and constructing the race track, it was
discovered that the cost would amount
to more than was at first anticipated,
and that the assessment of fifty per
cent. on the stock was not going to
yield money enough to proceed with
the work of preparing the grounds.
The contract was let to Henry Simons
for $l,677, on condition that the bal
nee of the stock, 81 1000, was sold. 1t
is now proposed to offer this stock for
sale to secure the necessary funds, and
it should be disposed of at once without
any difficulty. A number who have
already taken stock have signified a
willingness to take more, while there
are a great many men of means in the
country who have not been approached
in relation to the matter. 1t is some
thing III which the people of Lewis
town and the whole county should
take an interest. A fair will do much
toward developing the of our
county and advancing our stock inter
ests. While it may be too late to ac-
complish anything in the way of an
exhibition this year, the organization
could be perfected on a sound financial
basis, and important work done on the
grounds, so that there will be ample
time for a good exhibition and race
meeting next year.
Glendive has just had its first race
meeting and the result, financially and
otherwise, is very gratifying To the
people of that place. There is no rea-
son why Lewistown, situated i'll the
center of a great herse-growing region
should be behind such towns as Miles
City and Glendive. All we need is a
few men of public spirit and enterprise
to put their shoulders to the wheel.
The 4th of July will afford a good OPP
portunity to dispose of the balance of
the stock, and it should be done.

OUR PUBLIC O

We are in receipt of the first annual
report of the Superintendent of Public
instruction for the state of Montana,
for the year ending August 31st, 1890.
1t is a very neat publication in every
way, and appears to be complete in all
its details. Considering the age of
Fergus county, and the many disad-
vantages under which an inland county
labors, we make a very c~reditable show
ing in the report. The receipts of the
school fund in this county from all
sources is s22, 1896, being seventh in
the state. In the amount expended
for school houses We rank third, Lewis
and Clarke and Deer Lodge counties
being the only ones that surpass us.
In the amount expended for teachers
wages we rank well with many of the
older counties. We are ninth in the
number of teachers employed, though
ranking fourteenth in the number of
children of school age. We are eighth
in the number of months of school
held, thirteenth in the number of
children attending school, ninth in
the number of school houses. In the
per cent. of enrolment of children of
school age we rank second. Enviable
as our record is, as shown by the report,
there is still room for improvement,
and We venture the opinion hat the
next report will show a very decided
change for the better in some impor-
liant particulars. The interest mani
Tested in III public schools by all our
citizens is a healthy indication. Though
often said, it will besr repeating for
generations to come, that our public
schools are the bulwark of our govern
ment, and should be fostered and en-
couraged in every possible way, until
tniteracy in our country becomes I'M
known, and crime is reduced to a
minimum.

The cry of the Bourbon press about
tin plate has a familiar sound. The
wall that this country cannot supply
the demand for this article is but an
echo, with slight variations, that has
been heard for the past thirty years.
A party Of negation and powerless to
accomplish anything, its organs have
no other mission except to ridicule and
falsify the achievements of the Repub-
lican party. When war was being
waged for the preservation of the Union
this same old party in convention as
sembled, declared ''the war a failure"
and the sentiment was echoed through
out the land. When the resumption
of specie payments was decided upon
the Democratic press and orators said
it could not be done. In fact on every
question hat has been settled and that
has redounded to the welfare of the
nation, through the efforts of the Re-
publican party, the same opposition has
been encountered. They were false
prophets in the. past, and the future
will prove that they are false prophets
