TWENTY YEARS AGO
County Fair Was Successfully Held
at EImd.

The fair held at Elma on the 18th and
18th was pronounced by those present to
he complete success. A finer display
of stock, vegetables, fruit, painting, etc.,
are seldom seen, even in much older
farming counties. Although people had
but few days notice in which to prepare,
and the season has been very unfavora ble
for the growing Of large crops, yet there
were turnips and cabbages on exhibition
weighing twenty pounds each. There
were nine varieties OF potatoes. some of
which must have weighed three pounds
each. Messrs. D. F. Byles, II. S. Merrill
and G. M. Savage were appointed to
select such articles as were fit for ship.

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember that
after marriage many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. S.
A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. c., says:
"For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with torpid
liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became mere wreck of her

ABANDONING PARTY
REPUBLICANS GET COMFORT FROM
ACTION OF JOHN R. M'LEAN.
Death of the Democratic partV.
That Party Was Never SO Alive
as When purging afseIf of its
MCLeanS.

The st. Louis GlobeDemocrat sees in
the resignation of John K. Mclean from
the democratic national com mittee. an
other evidence OF the dissolution of the
democratic party. 1t calls attention to
the withdrawal last year Of the Chicago
Chronicle from the ranks of democracy
and announc, that Mr.. McLean's resig
nation is to be followed at an early day
by Mr.. McLean's newspaper completely
embracing republicanism.
But assuming that the Enquirer is to
become a republican organ, how does
that indicate the dissolution Of the demo.
cratic party?
The Enquirer has afforded very little
comfort or assistance to the democracy
for number o. years. Mr.. Mclean him
self has been type of politician that the
masses Of the party do not fancy. As
a democratic boss OF Cincinnati, Mr.. Nc.
Lean has always been in alliance with
George Cox, the republican boss. Their
PoA"AC"' iu'tuoCJ COuiu hOt nave DcSH
greater had they belonged to the same
party.
Mr.. Mclean as a candidate for govern
or several Years ago well nigh wrecked
the Ohio democracy because the north
Ohio democrats found it impossible to
support him. The men who used to fol.
low the leadership of Thurman, Pendle-
ton and Campbell could not tolerate the
character OF politics which Mr.. Mclean
practiced.
In view of the overwhelming prepon-
derance of the republican party in Ohio
no doubt Mr.. Mclean deems it good
business to ally himself with the domi.
nant party. Mr.. Mclean has always
allied himself with the commercial ele-
ment in politics, and it is not strange he
has found it difficult task to thrive with
so uncommercial an element as the de-
mocracy.
We fancy there will be found no great
disappointment among Ohio democrats
because of Mr.. McLean's resignation as
national committeeman or in the event
of the Enquirer embracing republicanism m
body and soul. There will be no doubt
feeling that :he alliance will be one in
harmony with the general tendencies OF
both Mr.. Mclean and the Enquirer.
That the democratic party in Ohio and
throughout the country will survive the
Withdrawa of Mr. Mclean and the En-
qnirer we have not the slightest doubt
Some really great men have from time
to time abandoned the party without
wrecking it, and probably there will be
others to leave it in the future. The
time will come, however, when the
American people Will render ample udg-
ment upon the republican party in some
way or other. and in "A manner that will
abundantly demonstrate the indestructl
biiitv OF democratic principles.
so when we receive word that the En-.
qulrer has formally joined the rrpVbican
party we shall wish it good luck and
happiness without in the sli, htest degree
imagining that the episode viii indicate
the death of principles which were virile
before either Mclean or the Enquirer
were born and which will live to bless
humanity after they are both dead and
forgotten.-Houston, Tex, Post.

THE iowa conflict
The CUMMINS.SHAW fight A ma.
TIONAL MATTER.
The Controversy Not AIltOge ther a
Personal Matter. II is a Symptom
Of the Desire of, the Republican
Party to Slough off The Tariff
Bene ficiarieS.

Some of the partisan editors of Iowa
are expressing fear that the controversy
between Governor Cummins and Secre-
tary Shaw may disrupt the party in that
state, but what can they do abont it?
The Cummins.Shaw fight is not personal,
it is organic. 1t is likely that neither is
especially fond OF the other but their per.
sonal differences could easily be recon.
ciled but for the fundamental antagonism
between their ideas. Secretary Shaw is
plutocratc in his sympathies; he believes
that legislation should take care of the
rich and that the rich can safely be left TO
take care OF the poor. Tell him the story
of Dives and Lazarus anj he will insist
that Lazarus was lucky man to live near
enough to Dives to get the crumbs. Cum.
Minis, on the other hand, is reformer
and he naturally can have no dealings
with man who holds MIR. ohaw's views.
II they were to agree to drop all present
differences they would fall out tomorrow
over some new question because they
view all questions from opposite stand.
points.
Governor Cummins calls the secretary
a "standpatter" and points out that the
standpatters have always been the de.
tenders Of entrenched wrong. Secretary
Shaw considers the governor "grand.
stand patter" and thinks he is "plaving
to the galleries accuse ton brought
against all who tries to accomplish any
thing for the masses.
As the leaders differ, 80 do their fol-
lowers and the line of cleavage runs
through every community. 1t is an ir-
reconcilable conflict which always exist
ed and will exist as long as society is di-
vided into the exploiting and exploited
classes. Editors may cry peace, but
there is no peuce." ~~-
The Cummins-Shaw controversy is not
a disease it is merely symptom. The
democratic party went through the same
struggle upon which the republican party
is entering and that struggle resulted in
platform which now furnishes planks
for republican reformers. The democrat.
ic party attempted retrograde move.
ment last year but the chastisement
which it received and the growth OF re.
form sentiment insure the return OF the
reform element of the party to control.
The republicans must now decide wheth-
or not they will free the organization from
corporate control or risk the annhlation
OF the party. Governor Cummins be-
lieves in surgery; Secretary Shaw wants
to ignore the evils that demand remedy.
Oner states besides Wisconsin and Iowa
are destined to witness republican con-
tasts which, while apparently personal,
will in reality, involve underlying prin.
cipals, 1t is natures plan, and there is
no way Of avoiding it. Only through con-
test is progress possible

INDIAN COUNTRY FILLS UP.
Farmers Lease Land from Osages for
Fifty Cents an Acre.

The Usage Indian country in Okla
homa, of which there is 1 100000 acres,
is rapidly being settled by white farm
ers from Missouri and Kansas, who
occupy the lands under leases. Thus
are over 1850 leases on file in the
allotments of land, or about rs per cent
of the tribe. At the present time there
are over 1850 leases ON file in the
agents office awaiting his approval, the
majority of them being for only l6O
acres each. These leases are all on lands
which have been selected as allotments.
The leases are of two kinds, improved
and unimproved. The former are rather
of the nature of rental farms and the
prices average $3.50 per acre for five
years The unimproved leases are for
five years and for $50 per annum, with
an Improvement clause, compelling the
lessee to erect house and barn, dig
well, put up a three-wire fence around
the lease and plant an orchard of fifty
trees, the total approximate value being
5000
