The Fair at Augusta.

The annual fair of the State Agri-
cultural Society, now being held at the
exposition grounds at Augusta, is a credit
to Georgia. 1t is by far the best that has
been held in the state for many years.
Indeed, it would be within the limits of
truth to say that it surpasses any previ-
Gus Georgia fair. That it is a success
there is no doubt. All who have visited
it are quick to admit its merits and com
mend its scope and completeness.
Augusta is justly proud of it. She
has made a big effort in its
behalf, and she is having her reward.
She lets no opportunity pass to show Wis
itors that she wants them to enjoy them
selves, and she is doing all she can to
make their stay within her limits an
enjoyable one. The indications are that
she is succeeding. The visitors are from
all parts of the state, and from the ad-
jacent states, and it is source of salts
faction to the Augusta people that none
of them are disappointed.
And there is no reason why they should
be disappointed The exposition is much
better even than one is led to believe
from the claims made for it, and that is
saying great deal, because the fair mana
gers have not been backward in making
known the exposition's merits.
Hon. Patrick Walsh is the president of
the fair association, and he is not a figure
head. He has been and is an earnest
worker for the fair. To him more than to
any other person the success of the far
is due, Indeed, he has carried the burden
of the work upon his willing shoulders.
and he has not sought nor does he desire
any recognition for what he has done.
He wants Augusta to have all the honor
and glory that is to be got out of the fair
That city owes him and his newspaper a
great deal. There may be some of Mr.
Walsh's fellow-citizens who may not be
willing to acknowledge the debt. but the
great body of Augustus citizens do so

A Remarkable Case.

The most remarkable case OF a jury stand
ing out against what seemed unrefutable
testimony. and all through the resolution OF
one man, occurred before Chief Justice Dyer,
says the London Illustrated News He pre-
sided a murder trial. in which everything
went against the prisoner, who, on his part
could only say that. on his going to work in
the morning. he had found the murdered man
dying, and tried to help him. whereby he had
become covered with blood; but when the
man presently died, he had come away and
said nothing about il, because he was known
to have had quarrel with the deceased. and
feared that he might get into trouble. The
hayfOrk with which the man had been muir
dered had the prisoners name on it,, In other
respects mis- guilt appeared to lie clearly es-
tablished, and the chief justice was convinced
Of IT, but the jury returned verdict OF Not
guilty"
This was Chief Justice Dyer's case, ana he
put some very searching questions TO the high
Sherin. The cause OF the acQuittal. said the
othcial was undoubtedly the foreman,
farmer OF excellent character. esteemed by
all mel {hbors, and very unlikely to be OF sti-
nate or VeXattous- Then, said the judge, Il
must see this foreman, for an explanation Of
the matter viii have" The foreman came
and after extracting from his lordship a
promise OF secrecy, proved at once that the
prisoner had been rightly acquitted, for, -

struggle to get possession Of the weapon he

Absolutely Brainless.

Il suppose" sa d the old man, that it is
necessary to have just so many people in the
world who have no brains. Things wouldn't
wag alOng-there would be no excitement if
every man knew as much as every other man.
Now. the other day, saw an example OF
absolute brainIessness."
Then the old man paused and waited to be
persuaded to tell the story. His aud ence in
sisted, and he began:
II was down in the oil country and was talk
ing TO friend Of mine who uses naptha in his
business. He buys it by the barrel and as he
was about to order new lot he walked out
INTO the YARD where the stun was kept and
said to one of his men the foreman; Jim
how much naptha have we got*n The fore
man told him that he didn't h ave much left
Inere was but part of one barrel My friend
told this man to md out Just how much there
was. 1t was ABOUT O'Clock and quite dark
The foreman called one of his men and told
nun to take Stlt k ana put it down through
the bung hole of the barrel Then he could
see how far the naptha came up on the stick
ana eStlma tie the amount in the barrel.
'Ihe man had lantern and the foreman
cautioned him about taking il near the barrel
de told him to put the lantern on the ground
at least twenty feet from the barrel and then
90 over and measure the stun with a stick
Inc man shambled off toward the barrel He
looked at it and found the bunghole and then
put his lantern on the ground fully two rods
from the barrel Then he walked bac < pulled
out the bung and stuck his stick in the barrel
lie pulled 1t out and deliberately struck a
match to see how much there was, He held
the match down over the bung and Instantly
there was the biggest explosion YOU ever
heard. We were thrown down by the shock
and the man disappeared entirely. They
gathered him up in small pieces, deader than
a smelt.
That, the old man continued, was an
example OF yellow fat in the place Of gray
matter. That fellow was very careful abouG
his lantern He didn't get it near to the bar
rel. but he struck match and almost dropped
1t through the bung- hole SO long as there
are SO many low foreheads and narrow eyes
IN this world there Will be no lack of news for
the newspapers.

II is little odd, and not altogether a
pleasant circumstance, that Admiral
Mello should have chosen subjects of the
British queen to represent him in this
country in his efforts to stop the purchas-
ing Of ships and recruiting of sailors for
Peixoto's forcers. Guerin and Devlin,
the Canadians who represented Mello,
may have acted only in the capacity of
paid attorneys, but their solicitude in
Mello's favor suggested British interest
in the end they sought. If Mello alone is
responsible for the efforts of the attor-
neys, why did he not employ American
lawyers to take care of his interests on
American soil and in American courts2

Blount's An Exceptional Report.
From Springfield Mass Republican Gnd.

A rereading of Blodnt's report in the com
plete form in which it will go to congress con
Trims the conviction that he has been an ex-
cepuonally cautious, painstaking, thorough
and impartial investigator. His letters to
Secretary Gresham are practically coIorless
statements OF his discoveries. and Of the han
penngs from day to day, in which the asser-
uons and arguments of annexatonists and
royalists are fully set forth. He lets the rep
resentatives Of the provisional government
speak for themselves, puts their separate
statements together, contrasts them with the
accounts given by royalists OF what happened
at the time OF the revolution, draws further
information from the archives Of our legation
and deducts his conclusions from a compari-
son and analysts of all. No wonder the de
tenders OF the Stevens policy lose their tenn
per and descend to personal abuse and as
saults on his irnpartiality-it is so much easier
to do this than to controYert his conclusions.

Washington is beginning to fill up
with members of congress in anticipation
Of the converting of congress in regular
session next week. There is talk among the
members of taking steps to bring the
Hawaiian business to a conclusion before
the Christmas holidays-that is, if the
President should indicate desire to have
congress take the matter up at once.
Resolutions of inquiry will be introduced
early in the session and referred to the
proper committee. Should the President
be ready TO submit the matter to congress-
the resolutions would be reported and
acted upon at once; should he deem
further delay necessary, the resolutions
would be held in committee until such
time asit'was considered bestto lay all the
correspondence before congress. The
opinion prevails, however, that the
Hawaiian question will be quickly settled
and got out of the way of the real bust
ness Of the coming session-tariff reform.

The Spreckles family is racked and
rent with internal discussions and law
suits. Gus" Spreckles has sued his
father, the sugar king, and his brothers
John and Ralph for conspiracy to defraud
him of millions of dollars, the value of his
shares in. the Hawaiian Commercial
Sugar Company. On the other hand
Spreckles senior and his other sons saw
"Gus" is rascal and is attempting to
blackmail them by publishing false
charges against them. The row, by the
way, is said to be the outcropping of a
family quarrel that occurred several
years ago between the wives of the
Spreckles boys. Gus" married a beau
tiful but poor girl who. since she came
into the enjoyment Of almost unlimited
wealth, has been able to outshine her
more homely sisters-in-law. And this, it
is said, is the milk in the cocoanut.

Last Years Verdict.

At the dinner given by the Home Mar
ket Club, of Boston, last Friday night,
Gov. Mckinley, in the course of his
speech, said: The verdict of last wear
was not against the protective system. ~
If this assertion of Gov. Mckinley is true,
the question arises, what was the verdict
against? Does Gov. Mckinley mean to
say that the verdict was against his party
because of its extravaganza and its cor
ruption1 The people, by an Overwhelming
majority, turned his party out of power
and put the Democratic party in charge
of the government. They did not do this
thoughtlessly They must have had some
object in view.
Gov. Mckinley would hardly admit that
his party had lost the confidence of the
people, and yet he must admit that or
else admit that the people voted for the
democratic doctrine of tariff reform The
great issue of the campaign was the tariff
1t was discussed on the stump and in the
newspapers. 1t was the burden of all the
speeches that were delivered. The
reasonable conclusion is that the people
were largely influenced in voting by the
arguments against the protective system.
And this conclusion is supported by the
fact that in 1890, when the tariff was the
issue, the people decided against the pro-
tective system. They elected demo-
cratic House of Representatives that
year
Maj. Mckinley says the verdict was
not against the protective system, but he
docs NOT piUn
against the republican party, except that
there We're those last year who thought
they were in favor of free trade who
have got rid of that delusion and would
be glad if they had the power to recall
their votes, while there are many thous-
ands more who gave their votes to the
democratic party upon other and differ
ent questions, quite Independent of the
tariff" This explanation of the verdict
of last year is not satisfactory. 1t amounts
to saying that although the tariff was
the issue the people paid no attention to
it. How does Maj. Mckinley know they
paid no attention to it? How does he ar
rive at the conclusion that they have got
rid of 'delusion" they had last YEAR,
he seems to contradict himself. He de-
clares the verdict was not against the
protective system and then says many
voters la6ored under a delusion of which
they have now got rid. That practically
is an admission that the verdict of last
year was against the protective system
Maj. Mckinley deals too freely in as
sertions. He should fortify his asser-
tions with facts He did not do so in his
Boston speech and the conclusion is inev-
table that he could not do so. The truth
is the people voted for tariff reform and
they are still for that reform.
