Every ef fort will be made by the officers for the com fort or visitors. Agricultural hall will be open Monday noon for receiving nnd ar ranging exhibits. This is done t > give ex hibitors ample time to properly arrange their exhibits , and as It is quito impossible to ar range in one day , wehopu a good commence ment will be made on Monday. We waul everything In its place , in the best condition , ready for the awarding committee by nine o'clock , A. if. , Wednesday , and in order to do this a good start must be made Monday. We want each one to feel that the success of the fair depends on his own individual ef forts. There is not a man or woman that is a resident of the county , but has an inteiest hi its fair name , and we want to state right here ; , that there is not a county in the state of Nebraska , as well and favorably known , hi Iowa , as lied Willow and her fame is spread ing through Illinois. We expect repot ters fiom Iowa , at our fair , and it would be ex tremely humiliating to see in the Iowa papers like the following : "We attended the Bed Willow county , Neb. , fair , there was on ex hibition a squash , a peck of small potatoes , ami a half bushel nubbins. " Suppose each farmer would bring 20 ears of corn , as there are 1,100 farmers in the country , there would be over 23,000 ears of coi n. Would not that be a grand display , and a grand advertise ment for the county ? There were visitors from Illinois , at our fair four years ago ; and alter looking at the corn remarked : "I have raised com in Illi nois for 40 years but this beats any I ever raised there. " Let each one. do their full share. Don't hold back and say , "Oh , 1 haven't anything good enough to take to the fair , " and then come into the grounds and look at the pioduceand remark , "why , I have belter than that at home. " Bring the best you have and thus show an interest in the welfare of the county. We hope there will be enough produce brought on the grounds to make it necessary to build an addition to the hall , and enough stock , that more stalls will be needed. Crete nurseries will make a fine display of trees and fruits , anil we hope "the meichaiits will be present in full force , and make a creditable display of nierchandise- Bring a sample of grocei ies , dry goods , fancy goods , boots and shoes , furniture , hardware , tarni implements , wagons , buggies , wind mills , musical instruments , in facteverything that is used in a civilized country. We want the editors to exhibit samples of fancy print ing , etc. We request the superintendents of the several ciepai tnients to select , as award ing committees those peculiarly qualified for the positions assigned them. That will make the awards without partiality , fear or favor itism , and according to intrinsic merit The awauling ; committees of each department consist ' of three members and it is desirable that the members of a committee be selected from different sections of the county. No in terference with the committees , in making their awards , will be allowed. No gambling or ( games of chance allowed on thy grounds. WlMJAM COI.KMAX. THE RED WILLOW COUNTY FAIR WILL OPEN AT INDIANOLA , TUESDAY , OCTOllKi : 2X1) , AXI ) CONTINUE FOUll DAYS. Among the many attractions to interest the visitors will be speeches of the different polit ical ' parties , made by speakers that have a national reputation as speakers. Tho pro hibition party will occupy the time allowed for speeches , on the second day of the fair , which is the third day of the month. The Ilepublicans and Democrats will occupy the , time the third clay of the lair in a joint discus sion , and tlie Union Labor party will occupy . the time the fourth day. The farmers will leave j their farms , the smiths the shop , the merchant i his store , and there will be a three ilays'puliticai jtiuilee and gi eat rejoicing. The B. j & .

COUNTY-SEAT ITEMS. 1 From Iudiauola Courier. ] ouu rosiTicrr. . Up to the present time Attorneys. It. Smith has done all that was reasonable , or fair and lawful , to oppose the granting of a saloon Ii cense in this city and , practically , without au > compensation. He feels at this time us though lu 5 efforts were not appreciated by tnose tern peraueo people who have been loud in their demands to secure a fair enforcement of the law , and although successful iu every point tua > ic in the district court , he proposes to let the saloon question drop , unless reasonable Tees are paid him for further work. As for ourselves , we stand charged by the whiskei ring with being the backer of the whole oppo aition to a saloon , and while : we did not expect any compensation for our services along that line , deeming it a work of humanity , we have been made the subject of u boycott by the sa loon element , in which they have sought and are necking our liiiancial downfall. As one or them put it. "we'll make his property worth less than twenty Ave couts on the dollar tic- fore spring. " Weipiote to show the animus , not that we have any fear of that element be ing successful. Uu the other hand we cannot point to the subscriber or the advertisement that we have secured by reason of our opposi tion to a saloon here. .Moreover , we are con vinced that our people want a saloon so bad. that they are willing to have't at any sacrifice of principle or law , and being-convinced of this fact , wo shall.so Tar u < personally concern ed , let the matter test where it is.

It is very difficult for a man of any pionii- ucucciu these times to tell just what hischai- acteris , it he works in a political direction i he press of his own party says he is Hi. veiy best of men , and the piessof tbeothet sajs he is the very worst : and if after look ing the field over cniefully he thinks he h justified in leaving one paity ami joining an other , his formerliiendsatoncediscoverth.i. he never did amount to anything , and his foi lin-r enemies suddenly discern great worth h iiiui. It is a great woild uud a great couuti > . and politics are a big tiling. But there i- one , thing that we believe is clearly American , and that is the right of a man to act with an\ political party he may prefer , without con sulting an } body and without exciting com ment. The political newspapers tries vcij haul to be a tyrant , and it once succccdci very much better than it does now. People are thinking fur themselves iu political mat ters and thousands of them do not whipint ; the traces worth a cent. The politician who i- wise will recognize the fact that in thc-e thins- the. very worst thing he can do is to scold suni hurl thundeibolts of abue. When people think they will not put up with that kind ol campaigning , and as we have said , the peopi. are thinking. Twenty-live years from now. taking the n a oi the current , the results of campaign will be largely probIeinatic.il , be cause ot the independent vole which will no ; be influenced by bombast or political sophist ry. Things point distinctly to greater indt- peiidei.ee among American voters. A Iarg. independent intelligent vote will put all pai ties upon their best behavior.

McMillan. ; i Tub president is .still in tho hole ' - which he digged For the republicans , ' and unless lie can pull himself out by " ' his boot straps , ho will have to remain there. The reasons why China refused in ratify tho treaty , which the adminis tration declines to make public , have at last leaked out. It now turns out that had not the officious Scott rushed his bill through with such unseemly haste thu Chinese government would have • ratified the treaty ; hut when the Chinese u.inisier cabled that the house had pass- : ed the treaty and subsequently that it I had gone through the senate also , no other resource was lelt that government butto lvject it. This leaves the presi dent still iu his hole. If he fails to sign the bill the situation reverts to the old and uuucsirable order of things. If he -igns it he convicts his administration • il an unfriendly act towards a foreign government , involving a breach of courtesy which is tantamount to an in sult , and all the more an insult because we were on terms of cordial intercourse at the time it occurred. These speeches of General Harrison aie marvelous. For mouths he has.been talking frankly and freely almost ovcry .lay. Instead of cautious reserve , he exhibits wonderful freedom from re straint , and his speeches , though gen erally briel , go to the very root of the matter. There is no topic of public dis cussion which he has not treated. He follows no one s lead , but often dissents i ruin other piouiiiient Republicans. To ihe Chicago platform and the teachings of his part ) he docs not hesitate to give nis own interpretation wherever a dif- lereuce of interpretation is possible. On • he surplus question , the tariff question , the purity ot elections , and the reform • f the civil service , he gives in pregnant sentences the very essence of Republi can principles. No more convincing ar guments on the tan If question have iieeu made by any other speaker in this remarkable campaign. Yet all these -peeches are alike iu one respect they are entirely unassailable. The members of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland have just held I their annual reunion at Chicago. Gen eral Kosccraus was elected president , and among the vice presidents General iiarii-ons name appears. The reunion if the army corps which achieved so much glory m the war was saddened by me thought only. The face of General Slieiidan , lor many years president of die society , was missed. In the tributes oaid to his memory ins old comrades re- ralled with pride his great achieve ments. It is iu such gatherings as these that the flames of friendship kindled on die battle field burn all the brighter through the years of peace. The republican nominee has made himself the real as well as the nominal leader of the party. He has touched with skillful hand the intelligence of the nation. lie has voiced its best sent iments , its truest inspiration. With iviuoiy , generous touch , he has reached to the common wants , the common needs , and the common tecliugs , and with in spiring voice he has awakened the best < ympuihu-s of the people. lie has fur- . -hed the texts ior the campaign ora tors. The amplifications and appiica- • ions of the truths found iu his short , lucid sentences will include ail that need .jc said on the pending issues. Lit it be remembered that no party uanageineiit knows , or poossibly can now. ju t how many new voters there .vill be , this year. A Philadelphia dia- jatcii says that assc.-sinrnt rolls show mi iucreaaeof 2U,0J0.voters ( in that city : fhe new naturalization in all eastern • ities will be large. The number of - . 'liters coining of age iu execs * of the mother removed by death is about 8 per • cut. , every four years that is , about 500,000 in the country. The party .vhich neglects or faila to convince the iew voters may be sure that shouting • nd flare of torches will not make up for that neglect. The new industrial exposition of Au gusta. Ga. , which was to be iuatigurat- d , October 10 , has had its opening jostponed until November 8. The diange is due to the terrible flood which swept through the city recently. Right in tiie heels ot thi-s iNaster came the .fllov.
