THE SOUHERN KANSAS FAIR. Some Pertinent Facts and Timely Sug gestions The most successful and most numer ously attended county fairs e er hold in tho state of Kansas have been held at "Wichita. The greatest district fair ever w itnossed in tho state w as the Southern Kansas Fair, which closed its exposition Saturday evening, m "Wichita. Tw enty ono thousand people passed the gates of tho last county fair hold on the w est bido of tho m er in a single day, Very near ly thirty thousand people streamed through the gates of tho Southern Kan sas Fair on last Thursday, None of the elements that go to make up a successful fair were w anting. Good management delightful weather, fast races, fine ex hibits and big crowds are tho ossen Uuls. and all those were boasted by the fair of last week, j There w ere no gambling de ices on tho grounds, the pionnums and purtes wero all promptly p ud, the crowds were con tonted, interested and merry by turns, the hotels w ero all full, eveiy merchant scored a big w eek's trade and no casual ty occurred to mar any feature o the enterprise. 11ns loads us to say that the Evgle has for j oars maintained that touching tho mattai of agricultural and stock exhibitions a south Kausa3 annual dis trict fair properly organized and effi ciently managed would provo a bigger thing than exhibitions of like character anywhere else in the state the state fair itself not excepted. The reasons aio simple enough. The stato fairs have al- w ays been held in one corner of the state, either at Topeka or at Lawrence, both contiguous to the inter-state fairs at Kan sas City and St. Joseph and both fro n one hundred and fifty to thieo hundred miles distant from the leading agricultural counties of tho btate. Upon the other hand Wichita, with the finest lailroad facilities of any city in the state, w ith more daily passenger trains, almost tw o to one, being tho commercial metropolis of the greatest valley m tho state and tho greatest city in southern Kansas, w ith superior hotel accommodation, sit uated fiom two to five huudred miles distant from any other point wheie great fairs are hold, renders her, pre eminently, tho point for such exhibitions Tho memliers of tho State Agricultural society, w ith a full appreciation of these adantages, could hae held a btate fair at Wichita this year, or lost year, that would nrt only hao surpassed in great noss and profitableness of the so called iuter-state fair at Kansas City, but that would Juvto benefitted tho state ten times over any state fair ever x ot held .it lopoka or at Lawronce. And the senou attention of tint board is directed to these stotemonts But to our own district fair, about w hith the E GLE has been so persistent ly talking and working for months The first thing, it stnkoa us, should bo a move for the ownorship of a permanent location. Twice within the brief his tory of tho county have ample grounds, been m tho possession of fair associa tions, but both plats have been sw allow ed up by tho city. Tho grounds ought to be accossable. If the grounds used last w eek cannot bo bought or permanently leased, or if they are undesirable, then there is Lmwood park and adjoining grounds accessablo by the Santa Fo track and by street railway lines Or, again north or east of the Union Stock yards; or over m the vicinity of Alamo, or on tho West Side, or a dozen other locations w Inch might bo named. Tho surroundings of this city consists of a succession of splendid cites. But more of this in the future. In congratulating the management upon the success of a first class exhibit of all that goe to make up tho attrac tions of such an outerpri'e, including tho splendid races, and in congratula ting the business men of tho city who had the forecast to encourage and help sustain the undertaking and, especially those officers of the association them beh e& w ho becamo personally responsi ble for many of the expenses, including lumber bills., wo still hold that the great fan just closed will seem small and in significant to tho possible fairo of the futuie w ith the samo scope and ideas as to ternton and w ith a like enterprising and goueioiib management.

Hallowell spent Sunday nt home, leaving again for his held at o o'clock yesterday morning. Ho come3 back this timo more confident than eer in a sw eepmg victory. Democrats are Dem ocrats and Republicans aro Republicans, whether they belong to tho Alliance or to any other organization, and Republic ans know that Jerry Simpson is a very poor stick as a Republican and Demo crats know that Jerry don't diro claim that he w as ever a Democrat, w hatever show ho may make of once having been a Republic m. Col. Hallow ell says that the reports sent in to the Eaglk of the success and enthusiasm of his meetings aro not a bit oi erdraw n, and that w ith tiio exception of two or three counties that are distracted over other issues the outlook is all that his friends could de sue. Attorney General Kellogg in his an nual report recommends that the next legislatuio make it an offen-)0 to drink liquors in stores, shops, depots, cars, streets, alloys, parks, camp grounds, or m any other public place. This is tho first threat to tho drinker himself. All of tho present laws aro only against the sellei. That little quinmo discussion tho Eaglk had recently with tho Newton Republican proved a bitter pill to tho esteemed. After a two-weeks' vain endeaor to procure somo data with w Inch to refute tho E vgle's last state ment of facts, tho Republican w as at last compelled to falsity tho record m order toscoiea point It states that there weio more manufactories of quinine in tins country in 1873 when the tariff was taken off ot that aiticle of prime neces sity than there are today. On the con trary , as before stated by us, there w ero just two concerns engaged in the pro duction of tho drug at that tune, w hilo today there are tw o less than ten One of the very cleverest articles Noble Prentis ha3 contributed to tho Kansas Citj Star ia reproduced m this issue of tho Eagle uiidei , the heading of "Au tumn Thoughts ' It contains a number of truths that aro worthy of meditation by the class of citizens for whom they are mainly intended. Mr. Prentis makos no dnect reference to the farmer m poli tics, as in tho current third party move ment, but he might have done so with good effect as illustrating one of tho most eggregious mistakes that large and influential class of citizens is now mak ing. And the worst feature is, that thoy would bo the first and groatest suffereis fiom the innovation if it should succeed. Supennteiulant Wmans has hold more public meotiugs of an cduc ational nature, lsitod more institutes and trav cled over the state in tho interest of education more than any other of our stato super intendents And this is not all it is no disp iragement to the other excellent sup erintendents w ho have preceded him to say that Superintendent Winans' man agement of the practical affairs of our educational system has been the most efficient and effective of results of any since the s stem w .is inaugurated Ap preciating these facts tho peoplo w ill give this most excellent officer such an en dorsement at the polls that would ticklo tho anity of an official Beau Brummel. A freo trado paper declares that "thero is every indication that the Republican party w ill split on the tariff question in the campaign of 192. The Blaineites will insist upon a reciprocity jiolicy, w lnle the extreme radicals w ill reaffirm that of protection ' There is no sort of danger of any such contingency, for the simple reason that there is no occasion for it. The majority party in congres3 deliliemtely adopted the reciprocity lolicy of the government that w ent into effect yesterday, consequently it is not and cannot bo inado an issue in the ouding campaign. And not only so, but the administration beimr m hearty sympathy with the new policy it w ill bo carrieti into euevuvu operation us promptly as circumstances will permit.

If the accuser was one of enough importance to evoke an answer from these gentleman, how would it be to cry "On with the bawl?" A COMPROMISING TRUTH. The fuss about Bradford's alleged beer isver sill Of course professional prohi bitionists keep beer and drink it man of them But what has all this to do with the main question Bradford is not a can didate and has u right to k( ep beer and drink it if he chooses Law rence Record Co rect. There is nothing in the point of mconbisteucv attempted to be made by anti-prohibitionists against the prohi bitionist w ho may drink. Thero is no sort of connection between a man's indi vidual habits and his ideas of how to deal in a legal or public way with tho busi ness ot selling. Perhaps tho more exten sive his dealing w ith them the better his judgment about tho evil. Especially is tins true of politicians and candidates for office, who in former day3 could do nothing without "fixing"' a lot of saloon keepers, and w ho are today relieved of tli.it species of blackmail. Nor has it anything to do with a man who believes that a law is a law, and w ho is big enough to waive his individual notions, if not his habits, in behalf of law. If prohibition or any other manner of sup pressing or regulatiug the trnfhc depended upon absolute teetotalers, the opposition to the business would be very weak. Tins is doubtless not as it should be, but, like Ingalls' decalogue and ten commandments m politics, it is unfortu nately a true statement There is no doubt however, but that every man would be stronger bv practicing what he preaches Kansas City Ga7ette. SIMPSON THE SCOFFER. A w nter in the Medicmo Lodge Cres set, who signs himself "A Democrat," gives the subjoined succinct resume of the moral and intellectnal make-up of Jerry Sunp-on, who is posing before tho people of the Seventh district as a candi date for congress. The writer talks like one who knows whereof he speaks: "The moment of preconcerted agon izing effort to bolster up Jerry Simpson's morality and religion is amazing. Lverv man that has known him for any length of time is well aware that ho is an out and out infidel. His avowed opinion is that the bible is merely expressions of the superstition of the times in which it was written, and that religion is a myth, pre valent on account of ignorance. Before he entertained political aspirations he was engaged in crusnmg the word of God. He debated the subject with vehemence and gamed not a few followers. He scoffs relieion in the presence of the aged Christian, mocks at it in tho presence of the ladies, and decries it be fore the young. He asks mock blessings at meals "u it gives him any chance for display. His profanitv is proverbial, ana how he keeps from blasphemy on the stump is a myetery. That he is a communist l- a certain fact, and that he w ept bitter tears of gnef at the fate of tlie Chicaco anarchists, is known bv not a few. He has heretofore advecapd the equal distribution of all wealth and his indignation and frenzy at nch rnea knew no bound-. Jerrv is not St to repre-ent u in consre. COL.

In refer ring to his opponent. Jeremiah, he showed up that gentleman and tho party he represents to the people in their true light. He spoke words of encourage ment for the farmers of the southw est, and to the laboring class in general. In his visit to Springheld the colonel made many warm friends, and w e venture the assertion that he will receive a rous ing majority in Seward county, as well a the entire district. UfUMN THOUGHTS. Noble Prentis la K, C. star This' is the season of county fairs in Kansas and it is perfectly safe to say that a maj'onty of these exhibitions have, so far, been failures. TI113 is not because the corn crop in Kansas was generally a failure. The same result w ould have happened had every acre planted to corn in Kansas m 1890 v idded 100 bushpls to tho acre. It is because agriculture in Kansas is not a pride, an enthusiasm, a passion: it is because the farmer in Kansas does not "magnify his calling " He farms be cause he must, and not because he en joys lus calling. He does not love and cherish the earth: nor does he devote himself to one pirticular spot of ground w ith a determination to have anu hold it, and make the most of it as long as he shall live and leavo it to his children after him. The man who takes the words "farm er" and "farming' oftenest upon his lips in Kansas 13 not the genuine farmer, but the politician and office seeker, the social theorist, tho all around speech maker who knows something of every thing ex cept far mng. A thousand farmers will gather in Kansas to hear any political issue dis cussed w here ten farmers will assemble to discuss any point in practical agricul ture. Therois not in Kansas today a good, big farmers' club which holds reg ular and w ell attended meetings to re ceive and impart know ledge of practical agriculture. Neither is there in Kansas a strong and well patronized periodical devoted to agriculture and kindred pur suits, aside from p litics. There is more about fanning and of more value to farmers, m a single issue of tho Weekly Atlanta Constitution than there is in all the professed agricultural papeis in Knnsas in six months The reason for the low estimate placed on their own calling bv Kansas farmers is not found m a lack 6f fertility of Kan sas soil; or of any quality or lack of any quality in the Kansas soil. Tho soil is good and tho season is long, which ac counts for tho enormous yield of agn cultural products in a "good year," and even in drv seasons The boiI, if culti vated at all, yields something, and that something m the aggregate is a great deal. The reason the Kan&as farmer does not pursue lus calling in joy and make oveij autumn a season of triumphal re joicing and his county fair a success, is because he has been accustomed to bo rate his Maker and his state, and put lus trust in politics and low-browed and low -spirited politicians, medicine-men and miraclo-workers. The reason tho Kansas farmer does not make more of Kansas is becauso he does not accustom himself to tho idea of re maining in Kansas Ho is ahv ays and forever for "increasing the homestead area " Ho longs for w llderneses to con quer and deserts to invade, particularly it the law is against it. The future will not be as the present, there will bo improvement, as tho soil of Kansas passes by degrees into the hands of men w ho will realize its vnluo and who will cultivate it for all it is worth and take pride in their success. Then the countv fair will bo a gather ing of prosperous owners and tillers of the soil, wljo ill have something to show for their time, trouble and money; and will bo proud and happy in the ex lution In that day Kansas will not bo extolled as the best agricultural and pastoral state in the Union; the farming ground will be cultivated and tho land intended by naturo as a grazing ground will be pas tmed, and thero will bo no more fool at U mpts to make out Kansas a great man ufacturing state, and the boring of holes in the ground to find something that does not exist w ill have ceased Proud of their state, proud of their farms, proud of themselves, savers, not borrowers of money, interested in evorv -thing concerning their business, bent on making two bushels grow where ono bushel has grown before, relying on their steady, solid and compact brains and stout arms, and not in tho promised miracles of political voodouists, sorcerers and ram makers, the Kansas farmers of the twentieth century will bo "glorious in their works and w.ivs " OKLAHOMA OUTLINES.
