the course of which he says:
"Thc advocates Of total abstinence
would find a very poor illustration
in Mr.. Morrill,. He has his glass or

1t is now in order for the prohibi-

FLORAL HALL.
Floral Hall has been better filed
in some former exhibitions, still
most OF the space was covered with
a great variety of fancy work of
which there is always an interesting
display and which will invariably
bear close inspection. In the art
department there were many credit
able work in oil, water color and
black and white, the display by the
artists of Woodstock and vicinity be-
ing especially good. Beautiful and
artistic work Of every kind covered
the walls and shelves, and the dis
play OF bed quilts took up the re-
mainder Of the space. Rugs were
shown in the upper hall.
Among the large exhibits were
special displays of fur robes and over,
coats by Powell & Smith, an atrtac
tive crockcry exhibit by J. b. Jones,
and display of ladies garments by

THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD.

The Twicc-a-week edition of the
New York World has been converted
into the Thricc-a-wcek. 1t furnishes
3 papers of 6 pages apiece, or
eighteen pages every week, at the
old price of one dollar year. This
gives I56 papers year for one dol
lar and every paper has 6 pages
eight columns WIDE or IS columns in
all. The Thrice-a-week World is
not only much larger than any week
ly or semi-wcekly newspaper, but it
furnishes the news with much great
or frequency and promptness. In
fact it combines all the crisp, fresh
qualities of a daily with the attrac-
tive special features of a weekly.

President Cleveland, with his char
acteristic independence and fearless
ness, has taken action on matter
over which congress has squirmcd
in many sessions. This is the plac-
ing of consuatcs wherein salaries
range from $1,000 to $500 under
civil service rules. This will in
cludc more than onc-half the consul
lates. 1t is a most important step,
and is for the best interests of the
country. Says the Manchester
Union: There will be general sat
isfaction that the step has been
taken, for it is undcniably in the in
terest OF an improved consular ser
vicc-a service which has direct
bearing upon American mercantile
interests and a service in which eX-
pclience and fitness count for Il great
deal. 1t has long been recognized
disadvantage that men without train
ing or any special qualification
should be sent abroad as consulS.
simply as a reward for political SER
vices. Formerly many of them
were totally ignorant of the language
of the country to which they were
accredited. They knew nothing, or
next to nothing of cur commercial
relations. and remained in their po-
sitions only until change of admin
istratlon at Washington swept them
out of offices in which they were, in
many cases, little better than figure
heads"

The Republican party of New
York in It's supreme intolerance of
personal rights declares uncquivo-
cally against home rule in cities.
Local option, it believes, is inconsist-
cnt with good government. If the
jewellers in the more populous CEN
tres are ever to be permitted to run
their own affairs, such permission
will come from the Democratic
party, party of progress and not
given to aggravatng interference
with the rights of the individual.

The Republican high-tariff men
are reduced to croaking condition.
They are trying to make the people
believe that the country is not pros
porous in order that their claims that
it could not he under a lowered tar
if may be sustained. The people
laugh at such faulty. They know
they are prosperous, and claims to
the contrary pass by them like the
idle wind, which they heed not.
The more sensible part of the Re-
publicans themselves are leaving the
politicians who take this absurd po-
sition. They want no change in a
tariff which has brought success and
contentment. Questions of detail
are of little moment in such con-
nectlon. 1t matters comparatively
nothing that there is doubt as to
whether wages have attained 10 per
cent increase or only 5 in one or an
other locality. The fact remains
that the people are employed, that
they receive good pay for their work,
that business Is prosperous. The
high tariff advocates SAID that this
could not possibly be the case under
4 lowered tariff, and the result con-

WINDSOR COUNTY FAIR.

The Windsor County Agricultural
Society's fairs are invariably interest
ing and successful in every way.
Though without special attractions,
everybody goes once, twice or three
times, sees the stock, the prize
pumpkins, or watches the races, and
departs very well satisfied.
The lilticth annual Fair which
opened Tuesday, Sept. 18th, fulfilled
all expectations, and the managers,
who have worked untiringly for its
success, can be assured their labors
were well spent. Tuesday and
"Wednesday the weather was perfect
The events OF the third day, how.
ever, were interrupted frequent
heavy showers, but nevertheless the
days program was carried out IN
full.
The greater part of the first day
was occupied as usual in making en-
tries and getting the exhibits in
place, but during the afternoon the
tair got well under way,
The attendance the second day
was the largest in recent years, and
it has probably been exceeded only a
few times in former exhibitions.
The weather was clear and cool.
The first interesting event was the
cavacadc Of all horses ON exhibition.
The exhibit of horses, though not
large, was an excellent one and the
breeders of the County can be con-
graduated on the showing made.

DRAFT OXEN.
Every year there is increased in
tcrcSt IN the contests between draft
oxen, the trials of strength attracting
nearly as much attention as any
feature of the Fair. The splendid
animals-thcy make Il magnificent

and when they are hitched to the
stone boat they do their best with
very little urging, and with little use
of the whip. The pulling on Thurs
day was interrupted by rain, bu
was finally wound up in spite of UNI
favorable weather.
