This is tho question now under consid eration by the people of this place—or a poi tion of them at least. Two meetings Lave been held and the ball put in mo tion, though we are sorry to Huy that it «loos not roll ns fast as it shou! I to make it the success that we know must be de sired l>v all our citizens, if considered from nothing more than a business standpoint. The question may be ask ed: “ What good is there in a fair?” This question may be answered ill few words: It brings together for mutual counsel tho farmer, with the product of his labor; it places before ail the work of the inventive genius of our country; here will be brought together the stock of the country that people may see and judge of the qualities of ea<’k, thus giv ing an opportunity for their improve ment ; here is exhibited specimens from the ens I of the artist; the handiwork of the nimble-fingered seamstress—eve-v tiling for the edification of all. Besides this, it brings to our county from all sei tii ns strangers who are anxious to see what Yamhill is capable of produc ing and exhibiting; and who knows how many may be thus favorably im pressed and decide to make their future home right here in our midst. Friends, citizens ot McMinnville, it is fir you to say whether or not this fair shall be held and prove successful. At the meeting Tuesday evening the gentle men named in another column were se- lected as an executive board to make arrangements for the fair to be held sometime in September. It is to be hoped that each and every one of them will serve on said board and that all wi 1 be present nt the meeting to bo held at Filemen's hall to-day at 2 o’clock p. m. Tliev are all men of good executive ability, and it is safe to say that they will do their duty in a manner that will be acceptable to all. Then let our citi zens give them their aid and we can have no fears of the result. “A long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether,” and Yamhill will have such a fair that will surprise even her own citizens. A man is in honor bound, if be is a member of a political organization, to stand by the candidates whom his party endorses in convention. Political organ izations depend upon majority rnle for existence. Ignore this rule and you de stiny the fundamental basis of party or ganization. A man is not an Independ ent who refuses to subscribe to the reg ulations of party discipline. As long as he belongs to a party he is in honor bound to obey the dictates of party measures, lie can only exercise his in dividual preferences when absolved from party rule, He must renounce his allegiance to party in order to become a true Independent, ami exercise the pre rogatives of independent action. This is the true distim tion between the Inde pendent voter and the voter who calls himself independent, who belongs to a party and yet refuses to obey the man dates of parly behostH. A wide and distinctive difference which anyone can understand w ho has the gift of plain common sense. Call things by their right names. Call the man w ho has ab solved himself from party obligation an Independent, and call the man who be longs to a party and refuses to obey the rules of purty rule anything you please, Imt don’t designate him by the title "Independent,” for it is not true and it is great injustice to the Independent man. Call him “kicker” and let him go at that, for that comes nearer defin ing his political status than any other definition in political parlance.—Bulletin Apothecaries’ thill IlOTCH POTITI The Oregonian lias, for some days, Is-en trying to make it appear that < or- nelilis and Marston were beaten becacse they were “Mitchell men” and that Me Briile, McElroy and Baker were elected because it was understood that they were not Mitchell men. While we do not purpose entering the lists as a defender of Mr. Mitchell, we do think the Ore gonian is mistaken, as we believe the “Mitchell issue” did not enter into the canvass except with a few. Cornelius was beaten 3G00 votes while Marston was only 1403 short. Unless some other cause operated to produce their defeat both slio'.ifit have received the same vote. Again, Hermann was elected by 14.'X) majority, and he was understood to be a friend of Mitchell, while Mc Bride, McElroy and Bilker, w ho the Or egonian says were understood to be an- ti-Mitcliell men, weie elected by 3i)0, 500 and HJO majority respectively. Pennoyer was elected as we believe, because the floating vote of the state thought lie more fully represented the anti-Cliinese sentiment of this coast than Cornelius. Marston, no doubt, lost some votes bv being understood to be a friend of Mitchell, but the main cause that compassed his defeat was the statement that the treasury of the state had been used by a “ring” for specula live purposes, and that lie would con tinue that practice, while Webb would not. This leads us to say that too many of our voters aie influenced in casting their ballots by captions assertions, meaningless platitud -s and glittering generalities, dealt out to them in plat forms, by the public press, and on the stump by artful politicians. “The Chi nese must go” was the slogan that ral lied the masses to the support of l’en- noyer, although a moment’o reflection would suggest the fact that the governor has no more right or authority to drive out the Chinese than the humblest c ti zen. “Smash tho ring” which was shouted everywhere by the democrats and their allies, no doubt influenced some votes, and yet no thoughtful man could fail to see that it was the rogue’s cry of “stop thief” raise<l by "ringlead" ers from’way back” to hide their own nefarious schemes. “Marston will spec ulate with the state funds,” but of course Webb can afford to leave his business in Eastern Oregon, and move to Salem and conduct the treasurei’s office for $800 a year. The failure of the democratic majority in congress to agree on the tariff. silver and currency, and various other sub jects, illustrates the diflculties that sur round a party that acquires power by making brilliant promises without hav ing any definite idea how these promis es are to bo fulfilled. If they had given the people a little more now with the superabundance of wiiat dealt out when canvassing for oflice, a better agreement would have been had among themselves when elected, and then constituents would have had an opportunity to pass on the means to lie employed as well as on the end desired. When officers are elected through tree use of “glittering generalities” without suggesting the how, many of even their own party are certain to be disappointed. Under the above heading the Nation al Republican, of Washington, D. ('., speaks in glowing praise of Hon. Binger Hermann, in the following manner: The fii»t congressman elected to the Fiftieth congress is Hon. Binger Her mann, of Oregon, who, fiom the latest returns, is re-elected bv 1000 plurality, which it is expected may bo increased to 1500 plurality on tiie official count. Mr. Hermann did not seek the nomi nation, remained at his post of duty, exerted no effort for his re-election, but left all to the people. ' He has been one of the industiious, ever-working mem bers cf congress. While, as yet. not often on the floor and heard in debate, bis characteristic is in quiet, determined, active work. One of the results of this fidelity to Ids state is seen in the gener ous attention of congress to the Oregon waterways and her internal improve ments. Mr. Hermann’s record and his vote and voice have so far been on the side of the people—against fraudulent* land grants and grasping monopolies, and the best moral and materia) ad vancement of all public interests, state or national. Oregon has shown admiia- ble wisdom as well as good policy in re turning her tried member, as 'tis de monstrated that those states with expe rienced and continued representation are the largest beneficiaries of congress ional legislation. Mr. Hermann was born at Lonaconing. Alleghany county, Mil., February 16, 1843, educated in the free schools of wectern Maryland and the Independent academy (afterward Irving college), near Baltimore city. He removed to Oregon, taught school, and at the same time- studied law, and was admitted to the bar of the supreme court of the state in 1866, and has practiced continually since that time, lie entered polities tho same year of his entry into the practice of law, and was elected to the assembly from Douglas county in 1866, and subse quently was state senator until 1868. He was appointed deputy collsctor of United States internal revenue for south ern Oregon, and served from 1868 to 1871, when President Grant appointed him receiver of public moneys at the United States land oflice at Roseburg, Or., which place he held until 1873. Mr. Hermann has been largely interested in shipping and lumber manufactuiing on the southern Oregon coasts and rivers. He was judge advocate with the rank of colonel in the Oregon state militia from 1882-4, and was elected to the present congress as a republican. The recent citv election in Portland convinces us that the“good men” of that place need a moral earth quake to wake them up to a sense of their duty. When Dick Gerdes can be elected a law maker votes must be cheap and good men scarce.

While “financiers” are declaring that it will not pay to manufacture in Ore gon. men who make no pretensions to financial ability are demonstrating that it will pay—proving that it will by the good evidence that it does. Here and there in various parts of the state there are small enterprises conducted under all the disadvantages which at tend retail manufacture, but which nevertheless yield a living and a little more to those who operate them. We have in mind tho enterprise of an old SHERIDAN man and his sons in Columbia county, who make cedar doors for the gener- al market.

They have a steady and growing busi ness, have acquired a large body of ce dar timber, and are prosperous now and on the high road to wealth. All this lias been accomplished during the dull times, when the “financiers” have —Dealers in— not been able to make enough out of their great idle mills to pay taxes. Thrift, industry mid close management have “shown the road” to capital. Tho lime works established at East Portland a few weeks ago have proved entirely successful. The single ki'n is being worked to its highest capacity, HUSSEY'S OLD STAND. and it is thought that one or two ____________ ttf more kilns will have to be set up In connection with this enterprise, an other has been started, that of barrel making, it having lieen found cheaper to make the barrels on the ground from Oregon timber than to buy them in tho east.
