The County Fair.

Two generations ago wax fruit aud hair flowers were in the line of ladylike accomplishments what feminine wood carving and house decoration are today Young women did embroidery and worked samplers then. Today they TOW boats, swim and practice with dumb bells. Not one women in million ever makes hair flowers or waxworks in our time, But the managers of county fairs have not found this out yet, and there fore still offer premiums for these arti- cles We take the present occasion to make the facts in the case known to them. We call their attention to the fact that the sewing machine does the embroidery now. In place of the hair flower business the girl of one generation painted china, but the girl of the presen; does not even do that any more She does not even roll her eyes upward and whang guitar. With tears in our eyes we beg the county fair managers to give that hair flower and wax flower chestnut a rest. It certainly deserves it. Let uS lay it away with the weeping willow and tombstone picture and the samplers of the distant past.
 Then there are the five cent prize man, "every package containing a prize," the brass jewelry board, the miniature horse race, cigars thrown in" etc., and the other devices whereby the wretched fakir swindles the rural boy out of his treasured nickels and dimes. He would probably be arrested in city street if he undertook his skin game, but here he fiourishes unchecked. It may be that the hair flower and wax work business and the petty, five cent fakir have an important connection with the progress of rural civilization in this country, but if so it is not apparent % the unprejudiced outsider.

Hungarian Railway Fares.

The zone system of railway fare col lection has now been in operation in Hungary three years. 1t was inaugu- rated originally by the Hungarian minister of commerce and railways, Won Baross. Frequent mention has been made of the experimentation Buda- Pesth was taken as a center, how imagi- nary circles were drawn about it ten miles apart, and every railway station within one of the given zones all about the city was reached for the same fare. At the same time the railway fares were reduced to about one cent mile. no communication or return tickets.
 Time sufficient has now elapsed to sum mp the result of the system. Travel on the roads has well nigh doubled in the three years. Although fares were SO reduced, yet the railway revenues have been somewhat increased. This is owing largely to reduction in expenses Numbers of ticket agents and much ticket stamping have been dispensed with. The tickets can be bought at cigar shops or places where stamps are sold.
 There are fourteen zones in the cir cult about Buda-Pesth. The system has proved so satisfactory there that in time it will probably make its way with modification into other parts of Europe and into the United States Its greatest merit would be the cheapening of rail way fares, so that poor working people could live in suburban towns.

rnFnusiNEss sIruNrIo N.

The serious "strikes" and "lOckOnts" among the iron mills of the eas. have depressed the iron trade in all parts of the country, but legitimate mercantile and industrial affairs elsewhere have exhibited notable animation the past week for the middle of July.
 The promise of good cotton crop after the abnormal production of last year, had a rather depressing effect upon that market. Wool, on the other hand, has sold freely to manufacturers at stronger prices and the tendency in nearly all other lines was toward greater strength, both in demand and quotations.
 The grain crop outlook is cheering all over the agricultural sections, though no sucn enormous crops as were har. vested last year are likely to be gathered during the coming ausumn. They would be a calamity to producers rather than benefit.
 Money has been in abundant supply at the leading centers, and bank clear ings were about IS per cent greater than for the corresponding period ot last year.
 The uniayorable silver legislation has depressed the price of silver bullion and is likely to be very seriously felt all over the land later on.
 Locally, trade has been excellent for July, and it promises to improve as the time for the great Knights Templars conclave draws near.

TIE Democratic New York Sun in a recent article on the Homestead affair removes what appeared to much cam. paign ammunition. MT. Dana says:
 We regret to notice that nearly all of our Democratic contemporaries arc treating the Homestead incident in @ partisan fashion, for which there is no excuse. They assume that because Mir. Andrew Carnegie and his assOci- ates at Homestead have been engaged in an industry protected by tariff, and because dispute as to wages has arisen between the employers and em- ployed. protection is responsible for the Homestead murders and mischiefs. In congress, too, certain persons who sup pose themselves to be Democrats IVOOr- hees and McMilliu, of Tennesseel have insisted upon this view. If strikes were never heard of in unprotected in- dustries if, in fact, the greatest strikes in the country had not occurred in the unprotected industries, like the steam railroads and the horse railroads; it free trade England were not a country of desperate strikes, and if these facts were not known to everybody with edu- cation enough to read large print, these assumptions might be worth contra dieting As the case is, they are go far fetched and widely absurd that we fear they will bring dscredit upon the Dem ocrats in the National campaign. This is not a question of partisan politics; it is deeper than that, for it goes to the very heart of social order ani the pres ervation of all that has been won for civilization. The D.mocralir poltl cians and the newspapers that are try ing to obscure the real question are db- ing all in their power to injure the Democratic party.
