1t is hoped and believed that the
farmers of the county are taking
proper interest IN the Farmers InsLi-
tute aud Corn Show which is, to be
held in Lexington November 16
The prizes offered on that occasion,
repeatedly published Ia these columns
may De some inducement Ia a busy
class of the county'S wealth producers
to go to some pains to select ine
specimens Of corn for the exhibition.
Bot the principal inducement to the
great body Of farmers and land
owners ought to be a desire TO assist
the Worlds Fair committee 10 their
efforts to worthily represent the
agricultural interests of Lafayette
county. Such an exhibit cannot fail
to arrest attention at the great
exposition, to encourage immigration
TO the best agricultural section OIL
Missouri and to materially increase
the price OF land.

Bishop Galloway delivered a notable
sermon last Sunday In Kansas City
on organizing America he is a
native MissisSippian, aud he declares
that the negro problem is a triie 10
comparison with the menace which
c%onfrOnts the North, especially the
great cities Of the North, 10 the vast
hordes OF depraved, criminal, degen-
crate, and irreligious foreigners who
are brought to our shores. He says
that the negro is religious. His
belief amounts almost to superstition
and credulitY. But a vast portion Of
the lately acquired foreigners OF the
North are Of the most hopeless sort Of
pagans.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

A great deal Of newspaper talk is
being INDUCED in since the Alaskan
boundary arbitration about Canadian
annexation, The Canadians are said
to be clamoring for it This can
hardly be looked upon as more than
another evidence of our national
vanity. The people of Canada are
not so much enamured of us as some
Of US think, Few Canadians, il any,
have any respect for universal suf-
frage. They are confident that free
hold or household suffrage is a better
and safer plan, They have far more
more confidence in the permanence Of
their government than 10 ours. They
feel sure that their social institutions
are better than ours, that their col
leges afford sounder instruction, that
the stra tidcation or Their social orders
Is along n lines, that their bus
mess morality is superior, that their
children are better reared, better
taught and more polite. The follow
ing brief extract from an Interview
with a member of the Canadian
parliament expresses doubtless the
majority opinion;
"While there is much to admire in
the way our republican nelghbors
administer their affairs, yet there are
many thugs that do not commend
themselves to u conservative people.

THE WRITING OF HISTORY.
Lamprecht's Theory Concerning Meth

Looked at from one point Of
view, one would have expected
these students and writer's to in.
dorse heartily L%amprecht's claim
that history is a science, says the
Popular Science Monthly. All
their efforts, since Ranke's latter
years at any rate, had been direct.

thor of the new "Deutsche
Geschichte" took them off their
feet by cutting asunder all connec.
ton between history and its sup
posed makers" princes and he.
roes, by putting first and above all
the great masses of the people and
by making havoc with the Ranke
tradition. Instead of seeking the
sources of historical information
In the greater or smaller Europe
an state archives, Lamprecht had
diligently studied the stadt and
dorf records, the very store &C.
counts of the people. What could
have been more revolutionary?
Ia addition to this, history EN-.
braces, according to the new.
conner, all phases Of intellectual
and physical activity, and not, as
the Rankianer believe, only the pc.
titical side of things. This was
only a sharp reflection on the old.
er school, but a second very prac.
teal, if unspoken, declaration
thatthe aristOcratic portion of the
country should occupy relatively
only a few of the pages of history.

THE NEW SPEAKER.

On the opening Of the approaching
session Of Congress an Illinois Scotch
man, Joseph G. Cannon, will become
In many respects the most powerful
maj in America To quote apara-
dox Of the late Thomas B. Reed he
will have 'no peer and but one SUI
perior There is something ex
ceedlnglY interesting about "Uncle
Joe" Cannon. He is almost as much
of a character as Abraham Lincoln
before the circumstances of a tragic
death invested his name with the
sanctity Of martyrdom. Congress-
mai Cannon is a penetrating thinker
upon economic subjects, a man of
rugged honesty, with a quaint hu.
NOR and more personal peculiarities
than any other man 10 Congress He
is chiefly distinguished among bis
friends for his stern integrity and
his bad cigars. He does not like
good cigars. He is a millionaire,
but he is far more economical 10 his
habits than was Juhn Sherman and
is as abstemious 10 appetite as a goat.
He would labor harder and longer tn
whittle DOWN some rank appropria-
tion "job" a few thousand dollars
than any man who ever occupied a
seat in the house-even Holman.
