THE NEXT STATE FAIR.


Good Exhibition at Dover This Fall
Letter From Secretary Wharton.
John B. Wharton, secretary of the
State Fair Association, writes enthusi-
astically from from Dover about the
coming state fair. He says:
We must have big fair this fall,
but we can do nothing without the
hearty co operation of the people. The
state fair is permanent institution, as
permanent as Thanksgiving Day or
Chistmas. 1t has grow up under the
sympathy and patronage of the people
to be creditable state institution.
There were features of the last fair that
did not please us. We shall make de-
cided reforms and are going to have a
good exhibition this fall.
An effort is being made to make it
pay exhibitors to send their exhibits,
and much stress is being laid upon the
preparations for household exhibits.
Also to secure a full exhibition of farm
crops. Among the prizes offered for a
bushel of corn are 80 cash by the fair
managers; a pair of 81 brides and $40
suit of clothes. For bushel of Full
caster wheat, SO cash prizes from the
fair and $40 as special prize; S13 for
one bushel of wheat; first prize for
loaf cake, $40.
The catalogue of special premiums
means money to the patient and care
taking exhibitors. For advice and
suggestions write to the secretary at
Dover, Delaware.

sharply drawn, but nobility Of heart

thinking and pure living are as plainly
expressed in the contour of one as the
other.

IT is gratifying to learn from the
government report Of immigration that
the European tide that has flowed
westward so ceaslessly, is somewhat
checked, there being over hundred
thousand less immigrants in the year
ending June '93 than at the same time
in '92. But the undesirable character
Of the immigration remains much the
same. Desirable immigrants are well
come, but the riff raft of Southern
Europe we do not want, and there
should be some method Of discriminat-
ing between the two. While the i'm
migration from many countries is
materially less this year, that of Italy
is on the increase, there being from
that country alone, over 10000 immi-
grants, the most Of them ignorant,

THE low state of finances into which
the Duke Of Veragua has fallen, has

question of receiving finahcial help is

lucky thing for the Duke that his illus

GRAY WANTS A COMMISSION.

GRAY WANTS A COMMISSION.
In Tuesdays New York World Sem
ator Gray thus gives his opinion
as to the duty Of the extra session OF
Congress:
"The next Congress should promptly
repeal the Sherman law. The Ways
and Means COMMITTEES Of the House
should be organized with leave TO sit in
the recess of Congress, and it should
take up the matter Of tariff reform and
have well and carefully prepared bill
to present to the House at the regular
session in December. The extra ses-
sion could then adjourn. It would be
well also to provide for commission
OF well equipped and impartial ex-
perts to consider and report to the
regular session on the whole monetary
question. This will, in my opinion,
relieve the present situation and afford
well-grounded hope for wise and 'con-
seryative legislation In the future" /"
Is this one of the Senator's psyche
logical fanciesP Surely he cannot
mean that the repeal Of the Sherman
Law will stem the tide Of bank and
manufacturing failures that are shak-
ing the universe every day.
He evidently believes that the ap-
pointment of q tariff commission
would assist in settling trade. But it
would only have the same effect that
followed the appointment Of the Will
mington Police Commission. The
s.good times Increased wages" and
all the other promises Of the Demo-
cracy have turned out to be myths, |
and instead of good wages many
thousands Of laboring mem who voted
for free trade and Democracy, are
now standing idly by seeing their
families starving for want Of bread.

FRANCE AND SLAM.

1T is more than probable that before
the TRANSCRIPT reaches its readers
this week, Europe will once more be
thrown into convulsions of war. The
little fasco between France and the
Kingdom OF Siam is taking on a very
serious aspect. Siam has refused to
yield up her territory at the dictation
Of France, and that Republic expects
to enforce its demands at the point Of
the cannon. The French will lombard
the city Of Bankok, and fire upon the
Siamese forts. But 1t is not likely
that the war win end here. Russia
has promis ed her aid to the French
squadrons, and it is barely possible
that England will not stand as an idle
onlooker. If she did it would be
something very remarkable. especially
when she has an opportunity to step in
and play first fiddle. All the great
power will concentrate against France,
and the Siam trouble is only furnishing
an excuse for what they would like to
have done long ago. The long and
bitter Franco-P Prussian War Of a few
years ago will not be a circumstance
with the contest about to be waged.
The great improvement In naval vessels
and their equipments will make the
struggle far more horrible one. The
navies of France and Russia will be
set upon by English, German and
italian, and we can only hope that it
may not be long duration. The wars
of Europe, coupled with the financial
panic in America win hardly combine
to make things much pleasanter in our
own country.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, July z4s 1oSo.-
It takes very lively hustling these days
to keep up with the changes in the
plans Of the administration. The an
nouncement was made months ago
that the administration in conjunction
with several eminent free-traders in
tended to prepare tariff bill and that
Secretary Carlisle's supposed know
ledge on the subject was the principal
reason for his having been made Secre-
tary of the Treasury-his best friends
never claimed that he was selected for
his financial knowledge, they couldn't
because he had none. This was rinted
in all the administration papers and
was never denied until now, when Sec
retary Carlisle says that no tariff bill
is being prepared, and and that neither
he nor President Cleveland ever
Thought of doing any thing which
might be interpreted as an attempt to
dictate to the House what it should do
in regard to the tariff" He forgets
however, to tell why this statement
was not made long ago, which makes
the inference clear that the free trade
idea has been. for the time any way,
abandoned.
Democratic Congressman have al
ready begun to do some very plain
talking to Commissioner Lochren about
the wholesale suspension of pensions
he has been making, and unless they are
quieted In someway a number Of them
representing districts having large
number OF old soldier voters will join
the Republicans in bringing this matter
before Congress.
There seems to be hitch somewhere
in regard to the House Committee
Craftsmanship. Inasmueh as Mr..
Crisp's reelection to be speaker has
been certainty for months past it is
difficult to understand why there should
be any delay in announcing the COM
mittees and it was not supposed there
would be. Mr.. Crisp's friends have
been saying ever since he was here sew
eral week ago that he would arrange
the committees before be returned and
expected to announce them just as soon
as he took his seat as Speaker; but, as
I said, there seems to be a hitch some
where for these same men now say that
he hopes to complete the committees
within week or ten days after Con-
gress meets. This sort of thing is
mere child's play, and this announce
ment is Eow made, not because Mr..
Crisp does not expect to have the COM
mittee assignments all made when he
comes to Washington, next week, but
bee ause he fears the rows which will
follow his, having obeyed Mr. Cleve-
lands orders in making those assign
ments will necessitate making some
changes after he gets here before they
are made public.
