PIERCE COUNTY FAIR.

The annual Fair of the Pierce Co.
Agricultural Society was held last
week. The attendance was good each
day and a good degree of interest man
ifested in every department.
The exhibits reached last year the
high water mark owing to the unus-
ually good crops but this year the so
ciety has no cause to be ashamed of
its exhibit.
Pierce county can always show eX-
cellent specimens of farm products
and the varieties of produce are in
creasing every year.
The catalogue of premiums was
not published until later date than
usual, owing to delays on the part of
the printers, we understand, hence in
many departments exhibitors failed
TO receive notice of the premium list,
and it is quite likely that many who
mad intended TO exhibit failed to do
so.
The educational department was
not nearly so good as last year. rms
was owing 10 lack of appreciation of
the benefits to be derived from the
exhibits and lack of cooperation with
the County Superintendent on the
part of the teachers of the county.
The stimulus to exhibiting pupils is
worth great deal to the county and
greater efforts should be made to
make this department success.
Owing to the high winds prevailing,
the balloonist failed to make any as
tensions.
The greatest interest was felt in the
races and many of them were quite
exciting, as the management had
been able to secure some unusually
fast stock.
We give below the result of the
races.

Sumner Farnsworth principal OF
the Cleveland school haSIreceiyed a life
state certificate for Minnesota. Both
education and successful experience
are required for the first professional
honor in the gift of the state. There
are few in force. Among the few
holding them are Hiram w. Slack
formerly Supt. in Hudson and Henry
5. Baker formerly of River Falls.
Isaac Wickard of Ellsworth, Wis, is
seriously i'll at the home of his son-in-
law, w. G.. Allen, 495 Stryker avenue.
and it is feared that he cannot recover.
Mr.. Wickard is eighty years old. He
came to Minneapolis in 1857 and lived
i'm this state many years. Then he
removed to Wisconsin. He came u
st. Paul for the encampment and he
was taken i'll while visiting his son-in-
law.
1t is very probable that the meeting
of the National Educational Associa-
tion will be held in Minneapolis, next
July, and thus give all the northwest
chance TO hear the best in the
country upon education.
Personal observation shows that the
crop in the east is very large. The
potato crop is only half as much as
usual SO there will be none to throw
away next spring.
At the meeting of the legislature in
January law providing that teachers
who have been in the state and any
city for a long series of years, perhaps
twenty, shall receive a fair pension,
during life, upon their retirement.
All states should move in this line, as
some have done. A committee of
three have the matter in charge in
st. Paul, two of whom are S. A. Farms
worth and III. S. Baker. They have a
draft of law in hand that seems wise
and unobjectionable, modelled after
the Illinois law, one of the best.

The RenuhIican County Ticket

George L. Pratt, more Familiarity
known as Ed Pratt, was the choice of
the convention for Member of Assem-
bly,. Having resided here from boy
hood, he has been long and favOrably
known to the citizens of River Falls.
While yet a youth he enlisted in the
army and served as a faithful soldier
his full term. He is genial, courte-
Gus and, in any work he has to do, en-
thusiastic. He has represented his
ward on the County Board for several
years in a yer, acceptable manner,
and will make an excellent represent
ative for the county.
For County Clerk, ]. b. Jensen, who
has held this position for eighteen
years and always been found an excel
lent officer, was again chosen as the
candidate. His knowledge of the
county business makes him almost in
dispensable to the office.
Few men have held the Office of
County Treasurer in a more accept
able manner than Fred Wiesemann,
and the convention did popular act
in renominating him without oppoSi-
ton. Fred is strictly honest, careful
of public funds, prompt in duty and
always at his post.
For Register of Deeds, w. w. Wal
singham was. after quite a struggle,
the choice Of the convention. He is
an old resident Of the county and has

sound Republican and a good citizen
and business man. He will be popu-
lar in his Office and prove a worthy
! successor to the accommodating and
genial officer. Mr.. Warren, whom he
succeeds.
Few men have obtained greater
popularity in the work of the Office Of
sheriff than Mr.. Robert Robson who
is again nominated for the position.
Mr. Robson has had n long experience
in the duties of the office: has always
proved himself ready for action, and
won the favor of all who have had oc-
casion to seek his services.
For Clerk Of the Court, Mr. L. L.
Richardson was chosen as candidate.
Mr.. Richardson has a popular way
with him that wins him many friends
and he seems to have no difficulty in
obtaining their aid at each conyen-
ton. He is we'll posted as to the
duties of his office; is courteous to all,
and very accommodating. He will re-
ceive full vote.
The county is TO be congratulated
upon Mr.. Shaw's acceptance Of the
candidacy for School superintendent.
Mr.. Shaw has now held the Office for
several years and has shown himself
| TO be devoted TO its work. A man of
bread views and excel mt organizing
quality, he does not secf f" be too for
ward in any work. but endeavOrs to
| give to his teachers at the Institutes
| the very best and soundest. He has
done much to develop the educational
exhibit at the annual fairs, as the '9e
display amply testities.
John Copley, Esq, received at the
hands of the convention his usual
compliment of Coroner In the dis
charge Of the duties of this important
but not lucrative office. Mr.. Copley
has always done all that cot d be done.
Belden Eaton received the nomina-
tion for County Surveyor. fact that
inSures the prompt and accurate dis
charge of the duties springing from
the Office, should he be elected.

There is not one man in twenty
who would oppose the free coinage of
silver if he were convinced that the
silver dollar would continue to have
the same value as gold dollars, and that
the supply of currency would not in
crease more rapidly than is necessary
to preserve substantial uniformity
of values, and justice between debtors
and creditors.

The Political Outlook.

As the pending presidential cam
paign progresses it is becoming more
and more apparent that the seductive
eloquence of candidate Bryan is not
having the same effect upon the
masses of the people as it did upon a
majority of the delegates who flocked
around his standard in the Chicago
convention. Hundreds of thousands
of voters who are idle because OF lack
of employment have ample time to
study the political situation, and as
time goes on they realize that the
silyer-tongued Oratory Of a presiden-
tial candidate dealing in glittering
generalities in promises Of free silver
cannot bring back national prosperity
The free silver advocates. obtaining
control OF the Chicago convention,
forced upon the people the financial
issue in the name of the democratic
party, and in so doing compelled
very respectable percentage of the
democratic party TO protest against
the commitment of that party to the
free-silyer theory, and TO endorse the
more conservative idea embodied in
the republican platform upon the
question of metallic currency. This
condition of affairs has brought what
are known as honest money, or gold
democrats, to the alternative of either
voting for Mckinley or else giving
half vote for Bryan by voting for
Gen. Palmer. Rather than adopting
the latter alternative many of them
are boldly proclaiming their purpose
| to vote for the republican candidate
and thus emphatically set the seal of
their condemnation upon the action
of their delegates at Chicago. This
fact is becoming very important
factor in the campaign, and has so
simplified matters that, so far as Nc
Kinley is concerned the question
merely is, what will be his major

If the financial policy represented
by Mr.. Bryan should succeed at the
coming election, the effect would be
TO offer TO all the nations of the earth
premium for their silver. I'm
mediately silver from other countries
would come pouring into the United
States and the gold of the United
States would either be boarded here,
or pass beyond our borders to other
countries. Instead of establishing
bimetallism within our boundaries we
should establish silver monometaliism
The immediate result would be tha
reduction OF currency, since gold and
gold certificates would be either
boarded here or sent abroad, and
construction in all business circles.
together with universal panic and
disaster would speedily follow. We
should have deprecated currency.
This let US hope is not what the
people Of the United States want.
The people Of this country want
honest money and not deprecated
currency as the result Of free coinage.
