IMPORTANT FAIR MEETING.
Field Day to Be Held July S, and the
Fair Aug. II to 20.

From The Tribune March 4.
The meeting of the Board of Di'
rectors OF the Fair, held last Satur'
day, was a business session.
Mr.. Snow, of the committee ap'
pointed to confer with Darlington
fair officials, verbally reported that
Darlington and Dodgeville had nj.
ready voted to hold their fairs for
1897 In the last week in August, and
Monroe and Boscobel In the first
week Of September.
Mr.. Francis stated that Fennimore
had decided upon the second week OF
September and Lancaster upon the
third week of September for their
fairs.
Thus 1t appeared that this associa-
ton could not hold its fair on the
usual date, or near it, without con-
nicting with one or two competing
fairs. All bearings on the situation
were discussed, and after considera-
ton OF all contingencies, n motion
was put (and carried with but one
dissenting vote THAT we hold our
fair of " in the third week Of August,
from the 18th to the Goth, inclusive.
A number Of members of the asso-
citation present freely expressed
themselves OH the question, and a
large majority of them approved the
action Of the board. The question to
be decided was shall our fair be first
or last in the circuit" and the deci-
sion was 1--WE will be first"
On motion OF Mr.. Francis the board
resolved to have II celebration and
field day of sport on the grounds OF
the association on Monday, July 3,
and the following members were APP
pointed n general committee of ar
rangements, with power to appoint
subcommittee and do all other
things necessary for tho occasion, to
wit: u. Il. Jacobs, II. =. We'll, II. j.
Perkins, Guy =. Cobb and Stansmoro
Vivian.
A meeting of the committee Is to
be held in few days, and work will
ut once vigorously begin, with conf
dence that 1t will result in the great
est day over known in southwestern
Wisconsin, and add neat sum to
tho funds of the Fair association.
Some ncighboring towns have al
ready signilled willingness to CO.
operate, and it is believed that all
Others will do the same.

There are necessary measures which
can only be- carried and executed
through party organization. There
has to be party organization as well
as a party policy. Besides this, these
act upon one another,--check their
extravagances and tendencies to ex-
tremes. For no matter how good a
policy too much OF 1t may be wors Q
than too little Of It. 1t Is the abuse,
the excess of the good things in life,
that constitute more than one half of
the wrong In life. We believe that
parties have not only their use but
their limitations, Thus far they
should 20. and no further. There are
positions In life from which we ex-
clude the idea Of party organization.

What would be thought Of the railway
manager should he make his appoint
ments, not according to the fitness
of the man but according to the pol.
itics of the individual. The great
mercantile establishments, such AS
Fields and Farwell's, would have gone
into bankruptcy long ago, IL they had
made politics test In filling their
clerkships, and had gone upon the
theory that mere liable of party made
the inefficient clerk efficient, or dis.
qualified the most efficient clerk who
did not wear such label. And so,
when offices are to be filled where
party politics can not cut any figure,
why should we not act In this sensible
way, and vote for the man who has
In our judgment the best qualifications
for the place.
.>.ad why, In the matter Of county
Judge, which has nothing whatever to
do with politics, can not the same
principle be applied?
In.yiew of this we would say: Vote
for the one whom you think IL best
qualified, and not because he Is n
Democrat, or because he Is Republi-
can. Vote for the one who Is best
entitled to tho office, not because he
wears q political label; but because
he commends himself to your judg-
ment.

Of the territory >conquered by him, but
the Popes were the legitimate sover.
eigns, and that sovereignty rested on
popular consent. Moreover. the tenn
poral power was . neeessary conse-
quence of the spirfual supremacy. and
the Popes were forced ~ assume It in
order to maintain aocial order. Never
theless, the successors of Peter. through
a laudable delicacy, acted for long
time as the mere repositories of the civil
power. 1.
Rome was destined tb enjoy perma-
nent peace. The viclssitudes Of the
temporal power would fill volumes. It
lasted eleven hundred years from the
time Of the restoration by Pepin. In the
meantime dynastiess arose and passed
away. It's weakness was its strength.
It endured the wreck Of ages, because
the finger of God was there. Old men
elected to the Papacy, inexperienced in
political affairs without any knowledge
Of the art of war and often isolated
from other nations, were able to resist
the powers of earth and hell. Again
the Popes were cast into prison
or driven into exile, but their triumph
always came as surely as one day fol-
lows another. History repeats itself
Once more the successor Of Peter is de-
priyed of his patrimohy. The fall Of
the temporal power was hailed as the
extinction of the Papaoy, but, after the
lapse of twenty-six years, Leo XIII,
protests as vigorously from his prison
Of the Vatican, as did his immortal
predecessor, Plus TX.
The foundation of the temporal power
| was work of Divine Providence. 1t is
| no new thing in the Church, for 1t is
coeval with the triumph Of the Gospel.
An unfettered Pope is necessary for the
independence of the spiritual authority.
History shows that monarch after mon
arch essayed to rule theschurch in order
to rule the world. From Peter to Leo
the Great, from Leo heGneat to Hide
brand, and from Hildebsand to Leo
Kill, the Popes have bsen a terror to
:tyrants and despots. Neither prisons
ner exiles nor death could shake the
fortitude of the grand oltsmen of Rome.

ted the situation rs it now stands to be
this: That IN order to carry out the
agreement arrived at with the creditors
it will be necessary to sell the 20 remain
ing shares of stock. about 20 of which
are already pledged. In addition to this
current liabilities of this assembly must
all be paid off. With what the sssocia-
ton has received up to this morning, it
will be necessary to have about $1,000
more to clear ali expenses Of this assem-.
bly,, and only three days more to draw
On. This is the situation in brief, and
unless met tho creditors will close in at
once and the Chautauqua will be no
more. If the stockholders and the PEG.

the Chautauqua for the future, now is
the time they must do it. A committee
