THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

From the Erattleboro Phoenix
The Fair Haven Era discusses "The
Problem of the Fair at length. 1t says
At one point:
The purely agricultural community like
Rrattleboro may enjoy, as the Phoenix
infere, purely agricultural exhibit,
though those who have noted the atten-
ton paid at the Valley Fair to coaching
parades and driving horses. to say nothing
Of the vaudeville show always a part of
the exhibition, incline to differ with 1t.
The purely agricultural community"
reference might be expected from under
the tilted nose of New Yorker or Bos-
tonian. but it sounds peculiarly. coming
from a town with less than half the popu-
lation Of Brattlohoro, and which isn't a
patch on our burgh in volume of business
general Importance or progressiveness.
But let that pass.
1t is evident that the Era man never
saw a Valley Fair, Driving horses were
never seen on the fair grounds here. The
coaching parade was in vogue several
years, simply as a picturesque feature of
the fair. There was no coaching parade
this year and the tendance for the two
days was at the high water mark of -,
900. The only vaudeville which a Valley
Fair has ever had has been an attraction
to I'll IN the waits between the heats of
the racing and the exhibition of horses on
to everything In the Valley Fair. to see
the coaching parade, the vaudeville. and
every department. Side shows and fakirs
have never been allowed on the ground
or near tbs m Thc track events are a
legitimate feature of the fair. and "A draw
Ing card to some extent. But the great
nttractiveness and the reputation Of the
Valley Fair have been built up by gath
erinG together each year the finest horses,
cattle. sheep. swine, dogs. poultry, agri-
cultural products, etc. 1t is necessary
TO run special trains from Randolph and
Rutland on the north, Springfield and
Palmer on the south, Fitchbure on the
east and North Adams on the west, be-
cause people wish to come to a clean, or
derby autumnal agricultural festival.
Fair Haven is too near Cambridge, y.
Y. to Judge correctly of what should con-
sttute fair. The Cambridge fair is a
success in a waythat is. it draws an i'm
mense crowd. Its chief fame lies in its
| "eat EN- alive" and similar weird side
shows. ITS faldrs ana gamblers 1t isn't a
fair, 1t is simply \ riotous revel. To those
who like that kind of n thing it is the
kind of n thing they like, But there is a
| field as Brattleboro has demonstrated
| FOR fair with agrculture-and that is a
pretty big word when you take 1t in all
| Its signihcapce-as its basis.

CAUCUS LAW RESPONSIBILITY.
(7rom the Middlebury Register)


Republicans who read the St, Adams
Messenger were painfully surprised last
week Monday night by the long editorial
mo Caucus Law" Had the Messenger
been a democratic or Clement paper it
could have made no better argument in
defense OF its party or parties, 1t was
an unjust and partisan attack upon the
Republican party. The Messenger laid the
entire blame and responsibility for the
failure to pass a caucus law upon the
Republican party, and ably defended the
democrats and Clement men.
The facts are, as every one knows who
was around the Legislature. or who kept
posted ON its proceedings, that no caucus
bill was introduced. no caucus bill was
favored, endorsed or advocated by the
democrats or Clement men, The re-
publcans introduced several bills, only
one of which. that of Senator Emery.
was passed. The rest were all held up
in committee till near the end OF the SEES
sion
When tie subject did come before the
Legislature. the democrats and Clement
men and few Of their close license allies
in the Republican party, opposed every at
tempt to pass a caucus ~" Th- ''puN,
leans, all except a ~ iaicontcnts, solid
" favored the po"--.t &c these bills, That
the last was i0"ly in the House At
o'clock Satu,dnr morning was due to tn
fact that tn democrats and Clement new
were better stayers than the republicans
Had there been I'm House the bill
would have passed, These are the facts
In the case, az tho Messenger ought Il
know II the Messenger Is preparing Ia
cut loose from tho Republican party, and
hccor'" the democratic organ, let II DO &C
oncrl nd not fy tho republican aaG al

There is a way open to convince the
greatest skeptic. The public statement
of their experience is proof the like Of

Burlington. Read this case of it given

sCkening dizzy headaches confined me

changed positions suddenly. Urinary
troubles followed and / placed myself
in the hands of physicians. They did,
nothing for me. / grew worse instead of
better. ] was forbidden to eat any
starchy foods and finally in spite of all
efforts l got into serious condition |

cured Doans Kidney Pills at II. -.

and took Doans Kidney Pills instead.
