Fajrs of porno description have been
jn yogtjo almost sinco time was and n6
tloubt will continuo to tho beginning
pf eternity. Tho? arc of groat advan
tage to every section of country in
TvJiicli tlioy arc bold wlicn properly
nianagod. Tlioy bsivp a tendejieytp
pneourago tbo raising of a'bettor class
of stock by bringing togothcr tbo mqro
improved breed for inspection . Thoy
encourago bettor skill in agricultural
pursuits, and in all tbo workmanship
,of mechanics and of tbo arts. Fairs
"when properly managed will always
prove a success in tbo mattor of exhi
bitions, if not of pecuniary bojicfit,
but whon made a means by which the
managers can favor ihoir favored pets
to tbo exclusion of worth and morit,
their influence for good ceases. This
is too often lbq case, both at our State
fair andsomo of our county fairs.
When Pttrli dishonorable practices are
resorted to, pcoplo invariably lose
interest in them and do not hesitate to
i?pcak (Loir sentiments oponly and
ribovo board. Wo sincerely hope the
'management of Union , County Agri
cultural Association have wonted faith
fully to further tbo interests of our
fair, and that their labors have been
crowned with success.
Mr. TCandaj.i, is in an embarrassing
ciluation, Ho announced publicly in
May tjiat ho was u favor of "tariff
reform," without going into partic
ulars. But now appears in tbo maga
zine called Dixie, published at Atlanta,
An article bearing Mr. BaiulalFs sig
nature, in which ho is mndo to cay,
' ' J favor a total abolition of our intcr
suil rcvenuo system." Tbo kind of
tariff reform which this declaration jn
folvcc is plainly an inprcaso of tbo
flutics. Mr. Bandall 1ms thought it
Worth while to deny tbo authorship
of tbo article, but the publisbors of
$ho magazine say that tboy applied to
Mr. Randall for an articlo on tbo tariff
find received under his frank tbo man
uscript to which tboy attached bis
Maine. Ho is thcroforp responsible
Tor tbo articlo, whdlhor bo wrote it
or not. His plan appears to bo to
provont any real reform of tho tariff by
proposing to repeal tho internal taxes.
Jlut thou, why did ho profess to favor
tariff lpform ?
rrqflts In IJcetf., "
A farmer in raising bcotufttS.COpor
ton tor n factory, "whoro ho raises
.'twonty tons to tho aero , can easjlytslcar

and abovo twenty tons bis pro tits wijl

which is about as profitable a crop as
can bo raised, taking pno ypar with
another and tbo qhanccs of ap uncer

of Tho planting of the beet copies
when tbo grain-sowing is over and
befyro tho haying season, then tho
best harvest comes just after the grain
harvest and jusi before tho plowing
season. Jt makes a flnn chango for
tbo laud, and tho rotation from bpets
to grain or onions and potatoes is bet
ter jtlian a yoar's rest to tjic soil , Tho
price of sugar baying advanced two
cents por pound in 0110 day last week,
it may bo well for Oregon farmery to
thoroughly test tho ability of tho soil
and cbjnato to produce the sugar beet
With a view to, tlio cstrblisbmcnt pf
0110 or moro beet sugar factories in
Oregon, thus creating a now nnd val
uable industry, which would afford
employment to many pcoplo and cause
an annual saving cf thousands of dol
lars to tho Stato. Refined sugar? arc
retailing in England nt five cents per
pound, an evidence that somolhing is
wrong in qui' ppjitical economy. t
l'laindcalor,
Onct upon a tinio a certain man got
piad with the editor and stopped his
fciaper. Tho next week ho sold his
Corn at four cont's below tho market
UJco. Thou his property was sold for
taxes, bpcausoho didn't read tho Sher
iff's sale. Ho was arrested and fined
eight dollars for going hunting on
Sunday, simply because bo didn't
Know it was Sunday, and ho paid $IiO
for a lot of forged notes that had boon
Advertised two weeks and tho public
Cautioned not to ncgotiato for thorn.
'To then paid a big Irishman, with a
foot liko a forgo hummer, to kick him
.ill tho way to (bo uowspapor olllco,
Whoro he paid four years' subscription
in advance, am had the editor sign an
figrcomcnt to knock him down and rob
h'un if ho ever ordered his paper stop
ped again. Such s llfo without a
newspaper.
A correspondent of tho Portland
flows says: Tho l.ito Legislature (acts
1S8,", pages 82 and 100 inclusivo) ro
pealod all election laws of this Slate.
And enacted a new law on that subject.
Jn this now act it is provided in tho
1 rat section that tho first goneral elec
tion in this Stato shall bo hold on tho
5 'first Monday in Juno, J88fi. This,
fbpn, fixes our noxt gonoral Stato olcc
ilon in Oregon on tho first Monday in
Tunc, 1K87, or ono year after tho ex
piration of tbo four years for which
pur Governor and other Stato ofiloors
wore elected, and over threo months
after tho expiration of tho term of 1 Ion .

Tbo Republican Stato Central Com
mittee of Mississippi have decided not
to attempt conducting a campaign. It
is said comment upon tho political con
ditions of a nation of so callod free
people, when any parly cannot without
fraud, violcnco and bloodshed be
allowed to cast, their ballots and have
them fairly counted at any election,
cither State or national, and the point
is all tho morp serious whon it is fully
understood that it is only by the ajd or
such conditions and such facts that the
present administration was a possibil
ity. Jf this administration never
achieves any other famo, that which
refers to tbo invention of terms of ex
cuse or apology for the purposo of be
fogging American intclligenco will
nlono make it memorable. " Offensive
partisanship" is now well understood
as a hypocritical phraso having really
no meaning, yet used as an excuse for
romoving a Republican who has been
a Republican in fact in ordor that his
placo may bP filled with an equally
offensive partisan Democrat. Thcro
would bo no causo for complaint if this
was promptly and honestly dono; but
when ddho in connection with solemn
assurances that tho civil service laws
shall bo enforced and mugwumpory
exalted to tbo sublinio position to which
its supremo purity aspires it becomes
disgustingly contemptible; : and tho
people nro not such fools as to bo de
ceived thoroby. Tho latest invention
is "misconception Of duty" tho reason
assigned by tlio President for pardon
ing tho Cincinnati bulldozer, who, as
Lioutonnut of tbo Police arrosted with
out cause, warrant or authority, ono
hundred and ton negroes nnd commit
ted them to prison without examina
tion; turning them out without trial
tho moment tho polls wcro closed. For
this ho was tried and sentencpd to ono
year's imprisonment, but before half
his titno expires tho man for whom ho
committed tho outrago invents tho ex
cuse and condones tho crime and par
dons tho criminal, and in futuro whon
an election outrage is nocossary to car
ry a point or to servo the party ' 'Mis
conception of duty" is a siifilciontox
cuso for bulldosing and will iusuro a
pardon at tho bands of tbo Chief Ex
ecutive of tbo Nation, who holds his
throno by, for and in consideration of
such acts.rStandaid.
