The Finances of County Fairs.

While there is no consolation for
those who are interested in the future
of the Cecil County Agricultural
Society, in the fact that all other
similar societies are financially en-
barrassed, yet ii does emphasize the
fact that our own society affairs have
at least been as well managed as
other heretofore prosperous societies,
and that the Cecil County Society
is sharing in common with others
the results of a too expensive COM
petition in premiums, which has of
recent years characterized rival
societies. As we recently showed
in the WING, the Mount Holly
Society one of the oldest and best
managed Fair Associations in the
country did not pay expenses last
year, and recently by majority vote
of its stockholders decided to take
out license and go into the liquor
business on its grounds this season.
Rather than pursue such a policy
as that, it were better to surrender
at once to the inevitable, and die a
respectable death.
The exhibits made at the annual
meeting of the Wilmington Fair
Association held on Saturday last
show, that this society has per-
manent debt of $50. 1851, and a
floating debt of SIC. 900. 90, a tota
Indebtedness OF nearly forty seven
thousand dollars. The report OF
the auditing committe showed that it
would be necessary to issue addi-
tional stock subscriptions tor S1o,-
900, and in additional to this, S, 900
more should be subscribed to keep
the fair afoat. The report was
and ordered placed on the
minutes.
The secretary's report showed
that the receipts accrued from privil-
eyes and entry fees amounted to
S24. o96 II. The expenses made up
Of advertising, amusements. police
protection, transportation and premi-
ums, with other minor details, and
$500 40 profit, amounted to the
sum necessary to balance the receipt
account. The actual surplus was
s23,7SS.
The assets Of the association, in
Guiding buildings, stables, fencing,
electric plant, and bills receivable
were reported at SIS, sos 81.
The report for the year 1890
showed the following

.r1vrr can be no
difference of opinion on this point
in the minds of men who entertain
any sense of official proprietv. While
it does not necessarily follow that
member of Congress who may have
purchased silver under such circum-
stances is corrupt or venal, 1t goes
a long way to raise a presumption
that he is, and certainly shows that
he is not under the influence OF
high code of delicacy or honor as
public man
There ought consequently to be
full and searching investigation OF
these rumors, so that the exact eX-
tent of the speculative influences
which brought about the passage OF
the silver bill may be laid bare. The
men who have been reported to be
implicated in these transactions ought
70 go before the committee without
delay and clear themselves, if they
can, OF the suspicion. The name OF
Senator Cameron has been men
toned by Senator Vest and David
T. Litter as a purchaser of silver,
and although the amount of his al
legged speculation, or rather the profit
that could be realized upon it, was
so trifling that it could hardly have
been a temptation to him in intluen-
cling his vote, yet he owes it to HIM
self, as we'll as to his friends, to eX-
plain the transaction. even II the
investment was made after the pass
aye of the bill The country is anx
ious to know the whole truth about
this alleged silver pool, and il it shall
be shown that the speculations were
either harmless or were made suisse
quent to the enactment of the law
simply as Individual experiments, SO
much the better. The main point
to be settled is whether prior to the
passage CT the bill an extensive or
sanization existed for the purchase
of silver into which Congressman
we're admitted with the understand
ing that they would undergo no risks
if they should vote for the bill, and
the committee should shed daylight
upon this unsparingly.

after the good it has done to die an
ignominious death. While this is
true, all Agricultural Societies have
in a measure reached the climax of
their usefulness, and have from pal
pable reasons entered upon a period
OF decline. We say from palpable
causes. By this we mean, that the
original purposes OF their organlza
ton have in large measure been lost
sight of anil their objects diverted
to 0, her ami unprohtat lie uses. The
encouragement Of home Competl-
ton in the line OF legitimate agrlcul
tural and other kindred industrial
pursu is is the primary object OF all
such societies Unfortunately this
primary o. ject has become too ire
quentiy subordinated to mere money
making schemes projected by the
jockey and the turf & mbler. We
can reform these evils in which lie
the seeds of death for all County
Fairs, if we wish in Cecil County
We have pluck, spirit and enterprise
enough TO do it, and if those to
whom were awarded premiums last
year, will donate these gratuitles
back to tie Society, we believe that
in their present temper, the Manag-
ers of the Society can prolong its
lite. and Ii axe it a medium of con-
tinued usefulness to our people.

Pennsylvania Tours to California.

The won ierful popularity of the Penusyl-
vania tours to the Golden Gate is best illus
trated by the fact that the full complement
of passengers for the first, starting on
February I'll, registered six weeks before
the date Of the tour.
The space in the first train being all taken
engagements are now being made for the
remainder OF the series. The second tour,
sirahle one, on account of the interesting
route trav-rsed, rs weil by reason of the
fact that It's mem bers are in California at
what many consider the most delightful
season Cf he year. Eastern people who
desire to :. t the G )lden Coast in its most
attractive garb conld not choose a more de-
sirable opportunity.
Names are being registered very rapidly
for the S. cond tour, and those who wish to
make their going certain should apply at

THE testimony that has been taken
by the Congressional Committee in
vestigating the alleged silver pool in
Congress has not thus far shown that
such pool was in existence. But it
has proved the fact that certain indi
viduals were interested in specializing
on the price of silver at the time of
the passage OF the compromise bill
last summer and has confirmed the
suspicion that these individuals had
some influence over the action of
members OF Congress. To what ex-
tent this suspicion is we'll founded
remains to be seen and the commit
tee should exhaust every possible
source of evidence on this point no
matter who may be the persons
affected.
The country cannot hear with pa
tience or indifference the oft repeated
rumors and gossip that members of
Congress permitted themselves to be
led into speculation which might
be promoted or retarded by their
official action as legislators. No
high-minded member with sense of
public honor could engage in trans
action OF the kind which has been
credited 10 the silver poo while the
act which was to advance the price

The Postmaster General has or
dered free delivery service in twelve
of the smaller post offices in widely
separated portions of the Union, in
order to test the practicability of ex-
tending the service to small towns;
the present limits being places of
10000 inhabitants or doing a postal
business of $40. 900 a year. This is
a movement toward the completeness
Of the English system, which deli
vers mail matter free to everybody,
no matter whether he lives in city,
town or country. and is the only
logical method OF working. As the
Post office Department can make no
discrimination between the senders
OF mail matter, but must carry for
all at the same prices, SO it should
make no discrimination between re-
cipients, but if it delivers to some,
should deliver to all. We shall reach
that point some day.

The entire country was shocked
on Friday morning by the unexpec-
ted announcement of the sudden
death of Hon: William Window
Secretary Of the Treasury who, died
from heart disease at 10 O'Clock on
Thursday night in the banquet Hall
at Delmonico's in New York when
he was guest of the New York
Board of trade. His had been the
the first toast of the evening. He
had finished his response, had seated
himself, swooned at once, and died
almost Immediately. Every effort
to restore him was made, but in
vain. He died of heart disease.
The great assemblage at once dis
spersed. Mr.. Window had been the
only speaker, and the sentiment to
which he responded was: "Our
Country's Prosperity Dependent
Upon Its Instruments ofCommerce."

THE Western man who wants his
pension cancelled, because he is at
present able to take care of himself,
shows a commemorate spirit, but
should not be too rash. After awhile
he may find that he needs it, and
then he may find trouble getting put
back on the rolls. 1t is fact, we
believe, that many soldiers apply for
pensions now, not beoluse they want
pension money at present, but be-
cause if they delay they may be un-
able to prove their claims. The
Pension Office should make provi-
sion for this class, however small it
may be, by allowing a man to prove
his claim, and suspending the actual
payment OF pension until the need
for it shall come.

EITHER the tariff or something else
is booming the iron business of this
country tremendously. The pro-
duction of pig iron in 1850 was more
than seventeen per cent greater than
in 1888, and in 1890 it was over
twenty-one per cent greater than in
1850. In this substantial form OF
wealth the country is increasing very
rapidly. 1t is a form, too, which
means prosperity.to greater numbers

it by labor. Hence, while the iron
business is increasing at such a rate,
the country cannot be impoverished.

CASH RECEIVED

Total S33 $50 so
After the financial statements were
made discussion arose as to what
was best to be done to curtail the
expenses. 1t was decided to make
an attempt to curtail the premiums
on stock and increase the premiums
in the ladies' department. 1t was
thought that this would make a
saving of $4,000 year.
On Monday last the stockholders
Of the Chester County Agricultural
Society spent five hours, at West
Chester, Pa, discussing the future
of that society. The question was
whether the society shall close up or
not. Many stockholders want to
continue the fair and 5000 was
pledged to help along with a fair
next fall. A vote on the matter was
then taken, but it was OF decisive,
as only 434 shares of the ], 400 were
voted on. OF those who voted, 272
were for selling the grounds and
closing out the affairs of the society,
and I62 were for continuing the tair.
A committee was appointed to make
a thorough investigation OF the mat
ter and report at a future meeting.
The indications are that the end OF
that society is close at hand.
So 1t will be seen that the financial
troubles that beset the Cecil County
Society are shared by other societies,
and that some radical change is nee.
essary to perpetuate the existence OF
all of them.
The adjourned meeting Of the
Stockholders of our Cecil Society
will very soon be held, when it may
be finally determined whether there
will be any more Elkton Fairs. No
one certainly desires to see the end
Of the Cecil Society, and a reason
