N REPUBLICANS.
A Mass Meeting to Arouse Interest In
the Election.

The Republicans of Irvington held a
meeting in the Odd Fellows new building
in that suburb last night to awaken inter-
est in the coming town election. The hall
was well filled with voters and many
speeches were made. One of the interested
spectators was Samuel Smith the town
marshal, who expects TO be reelected to
that office by running on an independent
ticket of his own. Colored men furnished
the music. James f. Greer was selected to
preside over the meeting, and in making the
Introductory speech he said the meeting
was called as a sort of Republican rally for
the coming election. He said the Republic
ans have nominated a ticket and they
should all stand by it, as capable men had
been selected TO fill the offices. In voting
for the Republican ticket, Mr.. Greer said,
the Republican party would be responsible
for the welfare of the town, and this was a
guarantee of good government.
Fred o. Ritter was the next speaker, and
he gave a brief history of the town from
the time the election was held to decide the
question OF Incorporating To the present
time. He referred to the ordinance passed
i'm 1876 that prevented hogs running at large
unless they wore rings in their noses to
prevent them roofing up the ground. He
said lrvingtOn was now one of the best res
idence towns in the State, and the Repub-
licanS have decided TO take charge of the
municipal government, and for that reason
Republicans should all support the ticket
that has been nominated. He said the
question of street improvements would not
figure in the town campaign. as the Re
publicans did not care to burden the prop
erty owners with heavy expenses at this
time.
John +. McGaughey followed Mr.. Ritter
and said it would only be a question of
time when there would be talk of annexing
Irvington TO Indianapolis. and il would be
unnecessary for the property owners I'm the
suburb to think of making expensive i'm
provements. He was opposed TO such i'm
provements unless they were made general.
Senator James I. Layman spoke of the cost
of Improvements, saying ii would require
an expenditure of fully 500, 600 20 make
them. and this would be 20 per cent. of the
valuation of the property in the suburb. He
said II will only be a few years until Irving
ton and the contiguous territory will be a
part of indianapolis, and il is better to wait
for improvements. He said the Republic
ans of the suburb should stand by the
ticket.
Simeon Fraser. Republican candidate for
town clerk. said IL was the duty of Repub-
licans TO wipe out several evils. and If ne Is
elected. he said. he would enforce the law
a. all times.

 Congress provided for the issue of an edition of 11,O00 copies of each separate volume. the greater number Of which were distributed through designations made by senators and representatives. The beneficaries have been receiving the books for twenty years at an average rate of about six volumes per annum. As more than 1250,0O0 books in the aggregate have been printed and thus distributed a large force has been constantly required for the mailing service alone ever since 1880, work which has been done in the war department. A certain portion were reserved for sale at cost, and each ex- ecutive department of the government also received a complement.
 All the sets for free distribution were long ago exhausted, but the public press ure for the work still continues Con- gress has already been importuned to re- print the entire set, but 1t will hardly do so. Nearly every public library in the country of any consequence has been supplied with set of the rebellion re- cords.
 Many people suppose the records are a running history of the civil war, written by competent historians appointed by the government. They are nothing of the sort. Not line was written by the com pliers, other than footnotes or headings. explanatory of the documents. The war records so-called are a collection of all the accessible official documents, whether reports, returns, letters, telegrams or what not, relating to the rebellion, ar ranged in chronological order in the se- quence of events.
 They are printed exactly as written, the compilers merely correcting bad spelling and subjecting them to a general rule of punctuation and address. They are not otherwise edited. Occasionally foot note is ventured to explain some obscurity, or reference which otherwise would not be understood. The works great feature Is that the documents relating to a given exent like Gettysburg, for instance, are all brought together. It Is therefore a work of enormous value to the historian of today and for all time, as well as to the country, but 1t is not a history in it. self In the common acceptation of the term, otherwise than as the documents themselves tell the story of great events, which in fact they do.

THE GRAIN CROP.

The official reports of the grain crop
of the nation indicate decrease as CON-
pared with few months ago, caused by
the drouth. There is indicated prob
able yield of wheat of 644 900, 900 bushels,
or over 100, 900 bushels more than
the actual yield for last year. In the
season of 1898 the wheat crop of the
country was 675, 1000, 900 bushels, but
with that exception the promised yield
of this year has never been exceeded.
With the corn crop the showing Is less
fortunate. The number of acres planted
is about the same as last year, but the
estimated yield is put at 1885, ,0O0, 900
bushels, against an actual yield of 2, 1O5,-
600, 900 bushels in the year 1900. Indeed,
it is necessary to 60 back to the year
1894 to find in the last decade a year in
which the corn crop is less in amount
than that promised for the present sea-
son.
The indicated yield of oats Is 855, ,O0O,-
600 bushels, or $50, ,0O0, 900 bushels less
than the actual harvest Of last year.
Corn, as is well known, is the largest
farm crop we have in the United States,
and this considerable reduction will
doubtless have an effect in reducing the
purchasing power Of the farmers in the
southwest, and, indeed, may also have .
bearing upon the earnings of some OF
the railway systems which run through
corn growing districts. PropOrtionately,
however, we send more of our wheat
abroad than we do Of our corn, and the
fact that the wheat harvests in eastern
Europe have not been satisfactory this
year may lead to q range of prices for
the surplus wheat that we have which
will 60 quite a ways toward Offsetting
the losses that the farmers have encoun-
tered through the insufficient corn crop

FAIRS AND sloesHows.
PEOPLE LEARN BY ACCIDENT OR Com.
PuLsIoN, NOT BY DESIGN.

An agricultural fair may be a great
school for you. And yet the fair grounds
would remain empty if people expected
nothing more from a visit to the fall
than to learn something. They want
amusement. All the splendid oppor-
tunities which the exhibits offer for the
education of the visiting farmer would
be largely thrown away if the farmers all
stay at home.
First of all, the people must be in
duced to come. Then let the really
good exhibit do the rest. / have noticed
that you can get hundred people to go
to circus about as easy as you can get
one to 60 to lecture. A farmers pic
mic in town or county will bring out
ten visitors where a farmers institute
draws one. What would the Pan-Amer-
ican be without its midway? A dead
failure. Most people learn only by ac-
cident or compulsion, seldom by design.
Their lessons must be administered to
them like really good medicine in tho
form of sugar-cOated pills sandwiched
in between amusements. For these rea-
sons am in favor of having the agri-
cultural fair combined with number of
harmless sideshows.
What am opposed to is the presence
of fake shows which give no fair equiva-
lent for the money, gambling places
which simply rob the visitor or of any
thing not consistent with good morals or
good order. Young people especially
want amusement. There are lessons to
be learned everywhere, even in side
and Fireside.
