THE UOMIHG STATE FAIR.
Tho Stnlo Fnir commences onTliunj
toy, Oct 10, and will continue- through
tho following week, thus giving tho
Society onnortunlty to recover Itself
from fow day's rain. This annual
BIr wo should all recognize as Impor
tant, for two reasons: iHt, as an educa
tor, for It brings tho farmers of Oregon
together, and If they mako acquaint
ances, exchango experiences, and care
fully observe tho articles exhibited,
stock shown, and tho workings of ma
chinery on tho grounds, tho result
must bo beneficial; and, id, It Is a
great placo for enjoyment and recrea
tion, mooting old friends, and making
now ones, slght-scolng, and taking a
gllmpso of tho great world when it is
having a holiday.
It is not necessary to spend a mint of
money to como to tho Kair, for those"
who Hvo In tho Willamette valley can
hitch up tho team, now that harvest is
over, and grain all warehoused, and
loading up supplies and bedding, the
family can mako a pleasure trip to
Halem, and enjoy tho fullest pleasures
of amip life on the Iwiir Grounds.
.Many como In this way, and dorivo far
more benefit and enjoyment from the
trip tl nn would cninputiMito for tho
outlay.
Thou, too. don't fall to bring some
thing ir your own production to show
at tho Fair. The exhibit could bo
ovory J ear much more telling and
creditable to the .State IT it was partici
pated In by more pcrtons. Competi
tion is the lift and nplco of a .Statu
Fair, and every competitor doxervos
tho roHpcct of mII for making the effort,
and white it Is true that all cannot
take tlr.st prize, It is no disgrace not to
do K).
The financial condition of tho society
owing to th'o ralitH that destroyed the
success of tho Fair iirft year, U not tut
good as could bo wished, and thcrcforo
It U more nt!COH.iry for all Interested
in agricultural matters to lend their
efforts to make It a hucc.-h thin time.
Col. T. H. Lang, of Kustoru Oregon,
will deliver tho annual address. Wo
e.iu proml.se that It will poswess much
more than ordinary interest, as be Is a
man or decided talent, who has travel
oil extensively, and who takes a prac
tical interest in all matters pertaining
to Oregon farm life.
CRIMIMAL JOURNALISM.
We have from Portland, the particu
lars of a street affray, a shooting
KcraH, and the Milcqueut death of
one of tho parties Involved.
It Is well enough, In such instances,
where the public peace Is disturbed
and a thrill or horror goes through tho
community, to trace tho evil back to
its source, and In this Instance, as in
many others, lrro-onslble und reck
less Journalism Is t,he caur-o.
Wo have nothing to do with tho
quarrel between two newspapers that
brought on this dltnculty and ended in
this tragedy, .lournall-m that disturbs
the jh'ik'O of the community and has to
Im fed iH)ii such tragedy Is unwhol
some, nnd docs not till its legitimate
mission. If anonymous writers can
aault private character and invade
Hie Nicred precincts of family to wreak
malice against another, then tho siloty
of society U In connt.int Jeopardy from
uny Individual utile to own types anil a
pro-", who has a private malice to
wage agamt another. It may bo that
the fault is equally chargeable to loth
belligerent journal; we are not criti
cising one at tho expense of the other,
but are merely desirous to purgo .soci
ety of Mich criminality, to show how
such Journalism disgraces our honor
able profc.vion unit deserves to be
frowned on by the community.
Nwspaer' nnd Individuals too
frequently Imagine that their porwonal
dislikes and private quarrells are mat
ters'ot general interest and give them
publicity, when tho result Is merely to
dNgust all right thluklug Kople and
prejudice tho world against all news
persas a class. With journals as with
individuals, the, one that mulutalus the
ino-4 dignity of character and integrity
of conduct U tare to command tho
greatest rwpevt aud the most reliable
Miwov. Wo Imvo Utn iHluntted,
from youth up, to deprecate the evils
of der-polle governments. That lesson
has been learned well enough. It Is
tlmo wo commonced to study and com
prehend tho serious ovlls and great
llcenso that aro consequent upon our
own boasted freo government, and
that steps were taken to correct them;
to secure society its possession of a
freedom that great licenso too often
puts In Jeopardy.
Since writing tho above, wo have
read tho Coroner's Jury's verdict of
murder as cauBO of McDonal'ds death,
and tho evldencoof witnesses all agrc-e
In respect to the action of Mercer, who
killed McDonald without sufllciont
provocation, whllo his confessed
authorship of tho newspaper para
graph that attacked tho family of tho
murdered man was sufllclontly provo
cation for tho language used towards
him by McDonald. Tho lesson of the
criminality of such irresponsible jour
nalism is fully taught by this occur
rence, and It is to bo hopod that no
chicanery of law or trickery of attor
neys will shield tho author of this
torriblo crime. It Is to bo regretted
that tho offending journal cannot be
held to some more effectual punish-
montthan tho uncertain Judgment of
popular opinion that can exact no
greater penalty than withdrawal of its
patronage.
The Coafaar LlnLmtata are of two kind.
The White la for the human family; the Yellow
Is for nortec, nhecp, and other animals. Testimo
nial of Uie effects produced by theae remarkable
Preparations are wrapped around crery bottle, and
may be procured of any drncgttt, or by mall from

LEGISLATIVE WOBX.
Tho Legislature has already an
abundance of work on hand, and more
will naturally como in. This business
is somo of it of greut importance, but
many bills aro of private or local char
acter and of little importance, whilst
others aro pet schemes or hobbles that
individuals try to rido, but which arc
Impracticable and should not occupy
valuablo time. Tho Legislature has
throo weeks to work In and it is not
possible in that timo to devote full at
tention to all of theso bills, ami if it U
attempted tho result will bo that more
important measures will fall or not re
ceive proper attention. Tho few weeks
of an (Oregon session leave no option
hut to throw aside everything that Is
useless: let them die in committee or
reject tiiem altogether when satisfied
they cannot pass, and devote the time
at command to consideration of meas
ures of actual Impot tttnee to the
people of tho State.
Natno Your Stock.
Wo would suggest that It would bo a
good Idea for the owners of fine horses
on exhibition at tho coming Fair, to
have tho names of the animul ported
on tho stall. It is not often that the
trainers or owners can bo found at tho
stables, and hostlers and grooms are
not always ready to answer qucUo-H,
or get tired of doing so too often. It
will add to tho pleasure Mini Informa
tion of guests, anil will redound to tho
credit of the Agricultural Society to
sco tho names In large letters We
have oltou seen people go away disap
pointed In their endeavor to identify
stock. Tho sumo might apply to
horned stock. Theso mles prevail at
other Fairs in tho Hunt. A common
marking pot will answer the purpo.c,
and cost not much more than a little
trouble.
The Ollce of State Printer.
We hopo to bee an amendment to
tho Constitution submitted to the vot
ers at tbe election In 1SS2 abolishing
tho oftlco of Statu Printer, which will
no doubt receivo tho sanction of the
legUlaturo in 1SS0 and bo adopted at
tho polls in 1882, and go immediately
into effect. Wo don't need tho office,
nnd Btato-work should bo given by
contract to tho lowest bidder. ThN
matter has been so fully canvassed, and
ImUIi parties have favored the abolition
of the olllce, so that It now only re
mains for tho Legislature to carry out
tho pledges each party lias made and
free tho State from this needless In
cumbrance. W. C. Myer Hoard From.
