sir, have premiums ON county produce
of all kinds. Entertain the crowds
with racing each afternoon and a
show of stock in the morning. There
is some pretty we'll bred stock in this
county that many people don't know
about, l think it should be late in
the season, so that the weather won't
be so hot. would think about three
days would be about the proper length
of time to hold it, or it could be held
four days and the first taken up by

county fair. We have some very
fine fairs back east and they are
always a good thing for the place in
which they are held

down east. that would be the thing.
think it would be good thing.
Canon City is the county seat. 1 do
not think it wise just to have fair
this fall though. Let this fair be the
start and then have one each year
hereafter. \ fair like this brings
people of the county together and
makes a little friendly rivalry among
them, and they will strive harder TO
raise better produce and better stock.
There are some fine breeds of cattle
in this county. If we have stock
show, an agricultural show and good
races the farmers in one part Of the
county could see what is being done
in another part.

August came in like October and went out like August. It has been beauti- full month. except that part of it domin- ated by St. swithin. Its days have not been dog, nor its nights cat. The oldest inhabitant doesn't remember another August like it. and perhaps the young est one will not have a chance to see another like it. It has not been as good an August for corn as some Augusts have been, but it will not be criticised for that except by the few who realize what corn is and what it ought to have. Most people are so selfish that they re- gard themselves and their comfort as of more value than much corn, and to them it is of little or no consequence that corn would have liked a warmer month. These same people will want their Johnny-cake, or even their corn whiskey, next winter, but they have been too gay to sympathize with corn during the cool August. We hope corn will struggle through and come out all right and all ripe. but if it shouldn't t those who while comfortable in August have taken no thought for next winter may be able to learn a little some thing.

 As government isn't apt to rise higher than its source 1t isn't likely that there will be much real reform in Ohio as a result of the action of the extra session Of the legislature. Many cities in this country have discovered that new char ters and things don't make new and better men.

REFORM JN OHIO.

The legislature of Ohio has met in extra session to deal with an extraor- dinary state of affairs. The Supreme court of the State decided not long since thatSthe qty governments of Ohio had not been organized according to the provisions of the State Constitution and were consequently illegal, and thus rendered the framing of a new munich
 pal code necessary. It is generally conceded that the new code will divide
 all communities into but two classes, cities and villages. Therefore, as what
 ever plan is adopted will apply to all cities alike, there will probably be a
 lively struggle between the respective
 advocates of what are known as the
 board plan and the federal plan. The
 former desire that the municipal de-
 partments, especially that of the police,
 should be under the control of bi-par- tisan boards appointed by the governor.
 The latter wish that the mayor of a
 city should have greater responsibility y and should name single heads for the
 departments, who would constitute his
 cabinet. This plan is objected to on the
 ground that under it the mayors would
 have too great political power and
 might build up for themselves ina shines," as has been done in more than

THE REIGN OF MORGAN.
Are the American People Dangling at
 His FInger-Tips?

Are the American People Dangling at His Flnger-Tips?
 This is distinctively the reign or the era of J, P. Morgan. He is the first parsonage and first power in the United States to-day, and is so recognized abroad quite as much as at home; and the people down east who are crowding about to see and hear and applaud the president of the United States are fol- lowing secondary attraction. Let Morgan start out on a talking journey and see If this would not be so. But Morgan is quiet and this gives the pres ident his chance. Nevertheless, there seems to be no popular question as to the nation is to be found. The place is Wall street, corner of Broad.
 We find proof of this abundantly in the news of the day. There goes up from the helpless people of the country frantic appeal for the ending of the coal strike, so that we may not all freeze the coming winter, and it is now addressed in every case to Morgan. It is generally conceded that he can end the strike, if he will by a single word or nod of the head, and to him all pray CTS and petitions for relief are being di- rected. Duly constituted authority counts for nothing. The delegated might of millions of citizens is some thing laughed at by citizens themselves no less than by the coal monopolists. The governor of Pennsylvania is a mo- nentity in the matter, although the coal roads are violating their charters every day. The president of the United States is cipher in the case, although the anthracite combination exists in open defiance of Federal law. And all recognize the fact, and so the appeal goes to Wall street, corner of Broad. Great is Morgan, and who is big enough to be his prophet
 No one. Russell Sage, who used to be considered somebody, can only bow in humble adoration. Morgan, he says, is the greatest man in the world; and when they reminded him of what Presi- dent Baer, of the Reading road, said about the Christian men of monopoly who have us all in their holy keeping, he could only reply: 50 President Baer thinks that God gave the mines to the operators. and that the miners are simply interested in receiving their wages each week, does he We'll, wouldn't be surprised if MT. Baer woke up some morning and found that God had given MT. Morgan the mines and everything else in sight" That morn-
 ing appears already to be dawning. Where the sages fear to tread Our Chauncey" of course would not hesitate to rush in, and here we find the nearest

approach to the assumption of prophe- cy in regard to Morgan. Says Senator
 Depew on landing from European steamer:
 The people in Europe think of Mir. Morgan as a supernatural being. Well. perhaps I ought to change that word supernatural, but they do look upon , him as a marvellous person. Every where went in England the people were talking about Mir. Morgan and his plans. anderinwg what they were and what he was going to do next. I think
 they are afraid of him in way. and
 imagine that he is going to do some thing awful.
 So Russell Sage says there will be a revolution, does he Well, guess Rus sell will have to be q centenarian twice l over before he sees any revolution
 brought on by industrial development of the kind that Mr. Morgan stands for"
 Here is proclamation of the identity
 of the creator of the country's prosper ity, and prophecy that revolutions and l panics and disastrous reactions are out SA hAAS AAe5tlgl WhilS tue AAla4 tEibuS or supernatural Morgan lives, It is we'll to know just who or what power has our material salvation in keeping, and just where We are to turn with petitions for relief from strikes, fuel and famines and troubles. But
 how are the American people likely to l relish situation which finds them tied
 up industrially, as it were, and dan gling at the finger-tips of some private
 banker The great man may indeed do for us what we cannot do for ourselves,
 but suppose he should not be disposed to do for us? The regime of private ! monopoly appears to have run the | course, which now narrows down to the

INVITED THE parscE,s GOD.

They are laughing at Society in Lon don. It appears that it is the fashion in India for native potentates to print the names of their special gods on their visiting cards. A certain Maharajah who was in London during the corona tion ceremonies followed the custom of his country in this respect. and with amusing results. Smart society in the British capital dotes on Indian princes and likes to parade Hindoo rulers at its social gatherings. 'The Maharajah in question was invited to attend a num- Der of dinner parties, pink teas and re- captions, but did not answer any of the invitations he received. Society was shocked and offended. It could not un- derstand how any person protesting to be well bred and acquainted with social conventions could be so rude as to re- fuse to acknowledge invitations formal ly extended to him by those who desired him to enjoy their hospitality. The mystery has at last been explained. The Indian prince printed the title of his special god in large type on the center of his card. The name of the prince appeared In small type in corner of the card. Society assumed that the most conspicuous title was that of the prince, and addressed it's invitations &C., cordingly.
 This is rather funny. but it might be asked how could London Society be ex- pected to know anything about any oth- CT gods than it's own?

NOT THE CAN CITY, IF EoU PLEASE

Baltimore rejoices in and is properly
 proud of being called "the Monumental City" Some Baltimofeans also like to say that they live in the Liverpool of
 America. Still others do not reject the latest name that has been applied to
 Baltimore-the Can City. The Balti-
 more American thus surrenders to it:
 The name may not be very dignified one, and may not sound very eupho- nious, but as it comes from one of the
 city's most important industries, one of the chief factors in the city's wealth
 and prosperity, there is no reason for
 being ashamed of it. Surely it is better to be known as the Can City than to
 be christened, like Providence, the City of Cheap Jewelry: like Troy, the City
 of Collars and Cuffs, or like Waterbury. Conn.,, the City of Brass. And, anyway, Baltimore prefers to be called a Can
 City than Can't City, which name aDout expresses the opinion of it that
 sometimes finds it's way into northern
 newspapers with a very limited knowl- edge of the work done here or the posi- tion held by Baltimore among the great est of American municipalities.
 We do not think Baltimore will be ius- tified in accepting and encouraging "the Can City" addition. It is not dignifled. even if it is decent As well might New
 Haven consent to be called after one
 of it's chief industries in addition to its
 beautiful and poetic name "the Elm City.''& Baltimore, and "the Monu-
 mental City" are good enough, and ''the Liverpool of America" isn't bad.
 But ''the Can City, is.

The Public Library of Cleveland, Ohio, has hit upon novel plan for the circu- E 1ation of books by which it is hoped to bring the benefits of the library to that part of the population which hitherto has been unable to avail itself of them The plan consists in the establishment of small branch libraries in the shops and factories of Cleveland for the &C., commodation of the working people < who have not the time to go either to the main or the branch libraries to ob- tain books and other reading matter. The plan originated with the president of the library board, Edward W. Horn, who prepared petitions to the board and had. them circulated in a few of the shops. Says MT. Horn: '"The trouble has been that workingmen were not able to get the books they should have. I expect by this plan to have the pub- lie library establish these branches so that the men can get the books at the places they work. It is a great incon- venience for man to come downtown, or hunt up branch library after work ing hours in the evening. By the time he has made the trip great part of the evening is gone."
