A MORAL SHOW.
Lewiston Fair is Good
and Prosperous.
Pen Pictures Of Scenes About the
Grounds.
Young Mans Bargain
For a Dinner.
The Fakirs and Their Enter
tanning Frauds.


Lewiston, Septen1 Der 6.-The Maine
State fair is a PERFECTLY respectable show.
The pin game and the other swindling
devices by which the public were robbed
at Old Orchard last week are not here.
The people are coming by the thousand
and this is a fact which the managers
of other Maine fairs might remem Der
to their own benefit and the profit and
peace of mind OF some at least, of their
patrons. The fair, which is being held
here this week, demonstrates that in
order to be successful an agricultural
show need not be given over to the fakirs
whose arts are of more than doubtful
honesty. The State fair is an exhibit
ton of farm stock and implements, is
both Instructive and Interesting. .sIt
also provides abundance of amusement
for the people. The result is gratifying.
Today has been a repetition OF yester-
day in the matter of attendance and from
early morning until late in the afternoon
the people were pouring into the grounds
in continuous streams. The manage
ment set the attendance as high as ,O0C
or more. AS every body who enters the
grounds on foot must pass through a
registering turn st1Iez the management
should know what they are talking about.
Certainly there were many thousands in
side the enclosure They packed the
buildings, they sat under the trees,
they wandered through the exhibition
sheds ana lined up around the pulling
matches. Before noon all the reserved
chairs in the grand stand had been sold
ana the crowds were still coming. The
fair managers understand the art Of car
ing for the multitudes. Around the big
exhibition hall in the grounds they placed
settees where tired women and fretful
children sought respite from the labors
of sightseeing. Chau1 TO obtain drink
ing water were numerous and the ven
doris OF soda and light drinks piled a
great trade, but man from Portland,
who ought to be able to lind out, said
, that he had not discovered place on
, the grounds where he could get drink
of beer.

Gragton, W. Va. September 6.-Mr.

Democratic ticket in 1896
He received the news through mes
sage from Mr.. Sewall's son and immedi-

Referring to Mr.. SewalI, in conversa-

as political associate. 81 met him
first at the Chicago convention, % he said,
"and during the campaign had au OPP
portunity to become we'll acquainted

EDITORIAL COMMENT.


The reference Of Hon. Geo. Robertson in
his recent open letter. to Sam Cooks tricky
way Of concealing the donor Of a contribution
to the last Democratic campaign fund. which
afterwards proved to be the railroad lobbyist
w. H. Phelps. or the corporation to which
he il ever faithful. seems to have awakened
the reflections Of Editor White upon these old
scores. He wonders whether the party Is
playing squarely with Colonel Phelps. and
suggestively remarks:
I've hear 4 great deal about the lobby at
J.ferson City and the influence Of railroads in
reference to legislation. As n matter Of fact.
sorne Of the politicians who are loudest in OPP.
position to the lobby stand in ami get their
divide. The Ledger has repeatedly taken the
position that the Democratic party aud Dem.
ocratic leaders should not ask contributions or
passes from railroads. without they expect to
reciprocate in some way. As long as w. H.
Phelps Is solicited for money for campaign
purposes. and Is expected TO give railroad
passes tn delegates to all conventions. even to
the judicial conventions. we have no right to
abuse him when he expects something In re.
turn for the same."

We believe the johnson County Court Is

the publication Of the assessment list. A law
providing for such publication has been en-.
forced in Illinois and has proved an effective
agent for the increasing Of revenue and the
removal Of inequalities In taxation. The tax.
