The next State Fair.
The next State Fair ought to be,
and we have good reason to be
lieve will be, the best Fair ever
held in Oregon, it it does not in
fact surpass in real merit anv other
Agricultural Fair ever held "on the
Pacific Coast. The want of easy
and speedy transportation, so long
felt, and for so many 3-ears pre
venting thousands of persons at
tending the Fair, will be, to some
extent, remedied this year. Most
of the east side counties can now
avail themselves of railroad facili
ties to attend the Fair. Thou
sands of people in the towns along
the railroad can attend the Fair
during the day, and sleep in com
fort in their own homes at night.
1 hese accommodations will not
only bring out the people, but will
also bring out horses, cattle, live
stock, manufactured articles, etc.,
for exhibition. The more people
to look on, therefore the more im
portant to have your articles there
for them to see. In the European
States, and also now in the Eastern
States, the annual fairs have be
come the great days of the year
for distant farmers to sell or ex
change stock, and accommodate
and promote each other's interests,
as well as to generally advance the
cause of agriculture and general
improvement and progress in the
country. Let farmers in Oregon
look upon the annual Fair as their
institution, tor their benefit and ad
vantage, and not a mere holiday for
sport, and so go the rounds of the
side-show deformities, monsters,
and oddities, that take your money
and render no equivalent in infor
mation or useful lesson.
Of course, everybody will un
bend at the Fair, and all will enjoy
themselves. This is right, and as
it should be. The Fairs should be
the place to renew and revise old
friendships, meet friends from dis- j
tant counties, and make new
friends; and it is also the best
place of any in the world to
purchase improved stock, compare
and select the best from rival ma
chines, compare and select the
most desirable iruits, see the works
of domestic art which will most
adorn and beautify your homes,
and generally to set every man
and women a peg higer up in the
scrile ot knowledge and valuable
information, worth ten times the
trouble and cost of going to the
Fair, and which you cannot prob
ably get in any other way. Col.
Tag'jart, of national tame and rep
utation, as a writer, speaker, and
agriculturist, and a great friend to
Oregon, will be here to make the
annual address, which in itself will
be worth a long trip to hear.
Then, let us urge every triend ot
Oregon, every friend of agriculture,
and every wide-awake. farmer
and mechanic, to attend the next
State Fair. Not only come your
selves, but bring your wives and
children, and camp out among
those beautiful oaks at the grounds.
Urge vour neighbors to come.
Bring your stock, your fruits, vege
tables, and domestic manufactures.
Remember the special premiums
livnoil ond lilftrl" Oil n
"bread and butter" politicians !
now is your chance to see the best
article in that line. Come up and
see the good, honest housewives
of all Oregon make good, honest
bread and butter; and from their
noble labors, go back to your
homes and give the people a good,
fair, square deal at the primaries
next spring. Let us have a new
"departure'' from the old, beaten
tack of our Fairs a departure that
is not only "new," but also good.
The Managers are doing their duty,
and everything will be in readiness
for a successful Fair. Oregon

The Cincinnati Gazette states
that Mr. Harrison, the Chairman
of the Kadical State Committe of
Ohio, has just levied a contribution
upon all the clerks in the Govern
ment employ in Washington, of
one per cent, upon their salaries,
and has notified them that they arc
expected to go home, at their own
expense, and vote. A great many
of them voted in Washington, last
Spring, at the election for officers
of the new District Government,
and the Democratic Committee
have secured a lift of all such, and
will use it against such as offer to
"repeat" in October.
The Philadelphia Age tells the
Democrats of that city that they
must look out for theseduplicating
clerks, who vote at least once in
Washington, and then act as re
peaters and rounders in Philadel
phia. It says the- have voted in
Philadelphia, and will do so again,
unless prevented.
The Springfield Republican is of
the opinion that Grant is surround
ed by the most blundering set of
advisers that any President ever
had. Either this is the case or he
never takes the advice of his ad
visers except when they advise
him to blunder, or take a drink.
Principles Demand it
Forty millions of people in the
United States are daily consuming
those articles on -which a high pro
tective tariff is imposed. About
one million of that number, includ
ing capitalists and operatives em
ployed, are engaged in the protluc
tlon of those articles on which the
tariff is most oppressive. The
theory of protection is that this
tax, called tariff, must be im
posed on the products of foreign
labor, that home labor may there
by be exempted from foreign com
petition. From this state of facts
but one conclusion can be drawn :
That thirty-nine men must be sub
jected to a heavy tax that a cer
tain occupation may be made
profitable for one. This is not only
manifest injustice, but a direct vio
lation of that fundamental princi
ple of our government, that all
legislation and all taxation should
regard "the greatest good of the
greatest number." If this were
the onlv reason which could be
given, we should be justified in de
manding Free Trade, which op
presses no one and confers a like
advantage upon all.
A fundamental principle of
trade, which has been recognized
by all the writers of political econ
omy, from Adam Smith to Perry
is '"The right of every one to buy
where he can buy the cheapest, and
sell where he can sell dearest."
Apply this principle to the present
state 01 trade.- ror example:
Fabrics which can be bought in
the United States for one dollar
per yard, cost less than half that
price in the European market.
Under the principle above stated,
our merchants should be allowed
the right to select the most advant
ageous place to purchase. Here
:he law interfere
1
and robs them
of the right. A tax, so heavy, is
placed
on article or iuiropean
1 1 T
manufacture by legal enactment,
that our merchants are prohibited
from the advantages of foreign
trade, and our citizens from the
benefits of foreign prices and com
petitor On this ground we de
mand Free Trade, which, violating
110 principle, gives every man his
natural civil rights.
It is no exen-e to say, "the tariff
is levied on foriegn manufactures
for the purposes of revenue, which
would be seriously diminished."
K educe the tariff to one-third its
present raes; and it is clear to the
dullest comprehension that three
times the present amount of impor
tation would ensue, and the whole
amount of revenue thereby remain
wholly unaffected.
Nations, like men, have natural
adaptations. England, owing to
A.
the natural humidity of her cli
mate, can produce six per cent,
more cloth, from a given amount
ot raw material, tnan we 111 the
United States. Xature seems to
have specially adapted her for the
manufacture of cotton and woolen
goods. And any protective tariff
or other legislative enactment
which attempts to take from her a
natural occupation, is simply a
statute of the State set up against
a law of nature. No nation can
attain to the highest prosperity
while such violent practices and
unnatural laws exist.
It is folly to argue, "a great fi
nancial crisis would ensue, if we
were to abolish our protective tar
iff" This is the very reason it
should be abolished. If we have
a commercial structure built up,
which can only stand by being up
held, at great expense, by the
strong arm of government, let us
without delay pull away the artifi
cial prop and let the useless and
rotten structure tumble. The very
fact that the threatened crisis
would be great, and is daily grow
ing greater by delay, is a strong
argument that the application of
the remedy should be immediate.
Perhans the weakest argument
the protectionist advances is, "such
a step Avould throw thousands out
of employment and subject them
to starvation and want." It is im
possible to throw people, who are
willing to work, out of employ
ment in a country like ours, whose
territory is ample for 200,000,000
of inhabitants, and whose undevel
oped resources are exhaustless.
On this very ground, we say give
us Free Trade, that our citizens
may be taken, if necessary, from
unprofitable pursuits, and directed
to the growth and development of
the country. But, in reality, the
removal of the restrictions on trade
and commerce, would not lessen
the d( maud for manufacturing la
bor. Y e have advatages Here
that will always enable us to pro
duce staple art ieles of consumption
without levying heavy taxes on the
consumers tor the benefit, not of
7
the operatives, but of the manu
facturing capitalists. S, F. l,rtUi

A Dreadful Death-
a .baby dies of hydrophobia it
TEARS ITS CLOTHING, BARKS
LIKE A DOG, FOAMS AT THE
MOUTH THREE PERSONS EE-
QUIRED TO HOLD IT J
fFrom the Chicago Republican, Aug. P,j
A little son of John McGinnis
an employee of the stock yards
uied last Saturday ot hydrophobia.
The age of the child was one year
and nine months. The facts pre
liminary in the sickness are indis
putable, and syptomsr of the dis
ease stamp-it unmistakably as the
horrible malady mentioned. The
case is a somewhat singular one,
and therefore we give it with some
particularity of detail. Very few
cases are now on record of the
fearful complaint attacking one so
young. The position taken by
certain authorities that the disease
is simply of the imagination, is
here proved to be untenable. An
unreasonable infant, just
BEGINNING TO PRATTLE,
is not likely to be so disturbed by
the imaginary physical troubles as
to be in this manner hurried out of
the world.
The child was bitten a little
over a month ago. The mother
had one day seated itTon the ground
at the back door of the house
when a large Newfoundland dog
belonging to a butcher named
Shuler, living in the neighborhood,
came suddenly rushing up to the
child and bit it. No one about
the house had seen this animal pre
viously. Til REE UGLY WOUNDS
Avere inflicted upon the tender in
fant by the raving animal one at
the side of the left temple, another
between the eyes, and the third on
the top of the head near the edge
of the hair. The brute showed
every symptom of madness, foam
ing at the mouth, snapping at
everything it passed, without stop
ping to vent its rage upon any
particular object. Having bitten
the infant, it started off' after a
chicken that happened to be near,
went under the house, ami then
ran off lo Mr. Shuler" s. There it
took shelter under the house, and
remained there for an hour. or two
until killed by policemen. There
was the usual hue-and-cry in the
neighborhood t he mother with
HER RLE E DING CHILD IN HER ARMS
adding fuel to the flame and in
creasing the excitement. The
publL indignation was greatly in
creased by the protracted opposi
tion of Shuler to the killing of his
dog. The rabid animal during its
wanderings had bitten another dog
which paid the penalty of its mis
fortune by instant death.
The wounds upon the child soon
healed only one slight scar on the
nose remaining. The matter faded
from the recollection of the par
ents. Last Wednesday morning
the infant began to show singular
signs of irritation, and commenced
tearing off its clothes, and at the
same time uttering
LOW WAILING CRIES,
and complaining of thirst. But
when water was offered to it the
most distressing writhing of the
jaws and convulsive movements of
the face and throat followed. No
one seemed at first to know the
real cause of the trouble. The
startled mother did all in her
power to restore her inlant to case
and quiet. Thinking it might be
sullcring from the heat, she took
off some of its clothing. The
wise women of the neighborhood
gathered in and gave their diag
noses of the disease. Some said
the complaint was diphtheria, and
some said the poor little thing was
teething. All day Wednesday
the little sufferer exhibited the
same symptoms, seeming however
all the time to suffer more acutely.
It pulled and tugged at its cloth
big with such energy as to tear off
the buttons,
GNASHED ITS TEETH
and threw its arms around in the
most agonized manner.
This continued until Friday night
neither the mother nor the child
leeping. The infant took no nour
ishment during ail this time, and
when water was offered went into
convulsions, seeming to reject it
with horror.
Dr. W. W. Goodman, living at
the Hock Island Car Works, was
summoned on Friday evening. He
at once told the grief-stricken par
ents that their child was dying of
hydrophobia, and nothing could
be done to r-ave it. He adminis
tered morphia without effect. The
child was apparently in the last

The foam when issued from the

uttered an incessant whine which
those about it compared to the

hands of those attending it ap
proached its face the

EFFORTS TO RITE,
were manifestly canine. Although
but just commencing to talk, it re
peatedly uttered the word "dog"
during the night preceding its
death, as if it had somehow in its
deceased infantile brain mysteri
ously associated the idea of its
present sufferings with its being
bitten a month defore.
At 8 o'clock on Saturday,
DEATH CAME TO THE RELIEF
of the sufferer. From Wednes
day morning until this hour no
nourishment and not a dron of
water had passed its lips. The
case is a peculiar one, and should
attract the general attention of the
medical world.
To Make Mischief. Keep your
eye on your neighbors. Take care
of them. Do not let them stir
without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do To
be sure, you never knew them to
do anything bad, but it may he on
your account they have not. Per
haps if it had not been for your
care they might have disgraced
themselves a long time ago. There
fore do not relax any effort to
keep them where they ought to be.
N ever mind your own business
that will take care of itself. There
is a man passu 'g along he is
looking over the fence be t-us-
picious of him ; perhaps he con
templates stealing, some of these
dark nights ; there is no knowing
what queer fancies he may have
got into his head.
If you find any symptoms of any
one passing out ot the path ot
duty, tell every one else that you
see, and be particular to see a
great many. It is a good way to
circulate such things, though it
mav not benefit vourself or any
one else in particular. lo Keep
something going silence is a
1 read ful thing; though it was
said there was silence in heaven
for the space of half an hour, let
not any such thing occur upon
earth : it would be too much for
this mundane sphere.
If alter all your watchful care,
you cannot see anvwmig out 01
the way in any one, you may be
sure it is not because they have
not done anything bad ; perhaps
in an unguarded moment you lost
sight of them throw out hints
that they are no better than they
should be, that you should not
wonder if the people found out
what they were after a while, then
they may not carry their head so
gh. Keep it going, and some
one mav take the hint and begin
to help you along after a while
then there will be music and every
thing will work to a charm.
When to Dry a Heifer. It is
generally conceded nowadays that
to raise a cow which will give the
most milk m proportion to the
amount of feed she gets, the heifer
should come in at two years old,
or earlier; that for months previous
to her calving, her udder should be
frequently manipulated, so as to
cause a tendency of blood to it,
and its larger development; that
he should calve fat ; that alter
calving she should be milked three
times a day, as near eight hours
apart as possible; that this should
be kept up as long as her udder tills,
and after this twice a day; that
she should be milked close up to
her second calving, which should
take place at the end of the year.
Vll this is to develop to as high a
degree as possible the milk-produc
ing tendency. Ot course the
growing, young-bearing, and milk
producing animal should be fed
with nutritious icon m abundance,
and be warmly stabled in winter.
A New York wholesale grocer,
ho has become rich in his busi
w
ness, has lately made the following
revelation. He savs his rule al
ways was, when he sold a bill of
goods on credit, to immediately
subscribe for the local paper of his j
debtor. So long as his customer
advertised liberally and vigorously,
he rested easy, but as soon as he
began to contract his advertising
space, he took the fact as an evi
dence that there was trouble ahead,
and he invariably went for his
debt. "For," said he, "the man
who feels too poor to make his
business known is too poor to do
business." The withdrawal of an
advertisement i a weakness that
business men are not slow to ob
serve. After many years of observa
tion, the Jievolutio? has discovered
that, as a rule, woman is expected
to be found fault with and adored;
courted, married, quarreled with,
deserted, divorced ; played with
and plagued, and only really ven
erated when she becomes a mother
and goes to heaven.
"I do so envy Eve," said a mar
ried lady to a friend. "How so !"
asked the friend. "Because her
husband could never badger her
about how his mother used do
things."

anxiety of her mind preyed upon
her body and threw her into :t
lingering disorder which apparent

As soon as the news of this
melancholy event readied her lov
er his afllcAion was doubled be
ing deprived of all hopes of her
widowhood : but recollecting that
in her -youth she had been for
some time in a lethargy, his hopes
revived and hurried him to the
place of her. burial, where a good
bribe procured the sexton's per
mission to dig her up, which he
performed, and removed her to a
place of safety, where, by proper
methods, he revived the almost ex
tinguished spark of life.
Great was her surprise at find
ing the state she had been in, and
probably as great was her pleasure
at the means by which she had
been recalled from the grave. As
soon as she was sufficiently re
covered, the lover laid his claim;
and his reasons supported by a
powerful inclination on her side,
were too strong for her to resist ;
but as France was no longer a
place of safety for them, they
agreed to remove to England,
where they continued for ten years,
when a strong inclination for visit
ing their native land seized them,
which they thought they might
safely gratify, and accordingly
performed the voyage.
The lady was so unfortunate as
to be known by her old husband,
whom she met in a public walk,
and all endeavors to disguise her
self were ineffectual. He laid his
claim to her before a Court of jus
tice, and the lover defended
his right, alleging the hus
band by burying her had forfeited
his title, and that he had acquired
a just one by freeing her from the
grave and delivering her from the
jaws of death.
These reasons, whatever weight
they might have in a Court where
love presided, seemed to have lit
tle effect upon the grave sages of
the law; and the lady and her
lover, not thinking it safe to wait
the determination of the Court,
prudently retired out of the king

A Washington paper says that
a few evenings ago two of the
most noted women suffragists of
that city, with their husbands,
went into a restaurant and asked
for oysters. The proprietor in
vited them to a private room,
which they declined, saying, "Oh,
no! we want to do just as the
men do." They went to the raw
box the epiartette of them and
ate raw oysters until the four got
outside of two dozen raw, when
they called for four glasses of ale,
and drank them down as though
they had been used to oysters and
ale.

the name of Frank Sherman. This
Tammanyite Mayor administered
the city government, including all
the stealing, for less than a million
a year, during the late unpleasant
ness, when a dollar greenback was
worth an average of forty cents.
Chicago became very honest and
elected a very honest and
loyal gentleman by the name of J.
B. Rice, for Mayor. This very
honest man spent four millions a
year, when a greenback dollar
was worth eighty cents. Will the
two Tribunes explain why it is
that a very dishonest, thieving
Democrat official cost the city so
much less than the very honest
Radical official. e are seeking
for light : we cannot see whv
It
should cost three or four times as
much to administer the city gov
ernment in the interests of God
and humanity than it does in the
interests of the devil and thieves.

Of all the schools there is none
like that of, home, and of teachers, O
either for good or evil, there is
none like the mother. Her con
duct is ever before the child as the
example; her words arc the seed
falling upon the virgin soil, and
producing a luxuriant harvest,
either of good or evil. It is not
in the power of her instructions to
make him a great man, for that is
generally determined by a law of
the God of nature; but, if he in
herit talents, she may add to them
that virtue without which mere
talent is a splendid deformity. If
he be destitute of extraordinary
gilts of genius the greater should
be her efforts to develop in their
strongest growth, such power as
he does possess; to teach him the
value of industry, system and per-
severence; above all to imbue hint
with love to God ami love to raan
so that if he be not fitted to com
mand, he may learn to be a useful
citizen; a good man; honest in his
dealings; charitable to the poor;
true to his friends, and forgiving to
his enemies. Such a character is
worth more to its possessor and to
society, than the most exhalted
intellectual endowment unaccom
panied by moral excellence. It
will produce happiness in the
world; the respect and confidence
of men ; and be remembered in
death with love and veneration.
The Best Farm Record. The
best farm record is the head. A
man should be so familiar with his
business that he has it at allUmcs
ready to mind the whole field o
should be open before him, to add
ed to or taken from as is necessary.
This in advance for one or more
years, as occasion may require. If
he has to rely upon a written rec
ord (unless he is a large landhold
er), it is evident he is not familiar
with his business. There are some
things it is good to jot down, so as
to refer to in the future. These
are the crops of the farm, expenses,
ttc. Butfor what is to do on an or
dinary farm, it needs to be jotted
only in memory. Self-interest will
keep it there, and clear enough, to
operate with.
The United States harbors thir

serve well because it equints.
