THE STATE FAIR- The Nebraska stale fnir , which wns opened yesterday under the favoring circumstances of a cloudless sky nnd a balmy atmosphere , promises to sur pass nny of its predecessors in the extent tent and great variety of the ex hibits and the number of visitors. It is a slnlc fair to a much greater ( letrco ; than any other which has heretofore toforo been held in Nubrnnkn. The representation by counties is lari { ' cr in number nnd extent. Every portion tion of the state has been laid under contribution nnd the result is gratifying in the highest degree. In the department of stock the entries nro particularly numerous. This is as it should bo. No state in tlio west is so well adapted as Nebraska for the rearing nnd feeding of the higher grades of blooded cows ant cattlo. Our ranges and meadows arc uncqualod for cheap summer graz ing , nnd .in immense corn crop , ol which wo are always assured , offers yroat opportunity for winter feeding. It was ono of the best results of our last fnir that the excellent display of stock fostered an increased interest in the subject of improved breeds and this year's exhibit is likely to further this end to a still greater degree. The individual agricultural exhibits nro not as numerous as might bo desired sired , and afford good -opportunity by which visitors may form an opinion as to the resources of our state in the of farm products. To many eastern visitors this display will doubtless bo a pleasant surprise. Nebraska , despite - spite inaccurate geographies and that old bugbear of the Great American desert , is an agricultural state which yields to none of her sistrs in many particulars and excels especially in corn and cattlo. Ono pleasing fcaturo of the fair is .ho exhibit made by the territories west of our stato. Connected by commercial band * with Omaha and ; hrough Omaha with the remainder of the state , nny display by which their capabilities and resources are brought ute prominence must possess special ntorost to our citizens. Our devel opment to a largo dcgreo gees hand n hand with theirs. Omaha's share in the state fair is > y no means nn inconsiderable part of the exhibition , Our merchants IAVO awakened to the great advan- aqcs offered them to make known heir goods to thousands of customers , ind the consequence is n display which nearly doubles that made ) last year. L'ho idea , adopted in a numbnr of in stances , of making individualdisplays n separate buildings , adds greatly to .ho attractiveness of the fair an well as furnishing an ovidcnco of the thrift and enterprise of the exhibitors. During the week THK "Bun will take ileasuro in noting and commenting ipon a number of features of the fair , whoso discussion would bo out of place * t this time. It congratulates the managers upon the evidence of their tamest work , and the people of Omaha upon an exhibition and attendance which proves the wisdom of the selec tion of Nebraska's metropolis BB the ocation for holding the state fair. ANOTHER COMPLICATION. The discovery , made on Sunday by ; ho president's physicians , that the patient's lungs wore finally affected by vitiated blood , adds another complica tion to this most remarkable case and , It must be confessed , places another serious obstacle in the road of speedy recovery. Septic poisoning , or the absorption of unhealthy pus into the circulatory system , has now been in progress for over three week The first indication of this dreaded condition was the swelling of the parotid gland , Medical authorities tell us that the absorption of pus by the blood generally - ally makes itself first known by the formatipn of abscesses in the larger glands , such as the liver , the spleen nnd the salriary gland in the faco. Further progress of septic poisoning is indicated by abscossen in the lungs and brain , this latter condition being most dangerous and not infrequently terminating the lifo of the patient. The president's physicians hare per istontly denied the presence ol pyjumia. Even in the face of the swelling of the parotid gland Dr. Bliss pooh-poohed the danger of death from this cause. It was not until weeks had passed and the public were in formed that the entire gland had sloughed oil' that Dr. Bliss openly ad' ' mittod the great danger to which the lifo of Pnjsidont Garfield had boon subjected from septic poisoning , and which in its gravity entirely overshad owed the exhaustion consequent upon the ugly wound in his body. Now , after four weeks , emphatically contradicting the rumors that abcossoa were forming in the lungs , Dr. Bliss reluctantly admits the facts as stated but omoothes them over with iho re mark that this now complication is by no means as grave as that resulting from the tumefaction of the parotid , which arose from the like CAUBO and from which the president has virtually recovered. The public by thin time liavo learned to take all of Dr. Bliss1 statements with n grain of allowance. Every medical man. n the country is well aware that ho manifestation of blood poisoning n the lungs ia n most serious matter. The parotid gland could bo reached by incisions from outside and Iho im prisoned pus r liovcd. With the lungs the c.180 i far different. A const itu lion weakened by ton weeks of pain and suffeiing must now bo de pended upon , nnd the physicians can do little but stand by and lot nature do her work. ONI : of the questions nt issue be tween the roodjlisters nnd flinders of Virginia is the capitation tax. Ac cording to the JiichmoHtl Mate , ono ol tflo leading organs of the fundcrs or Bourbons , the facts in tlio case nro as follows : "Tlio staio of Virginia , in its con stitution , provided that n. capitation tax of ono dollar should bo collected from each male adult citixcn of the commonwealth annually , to bo devoted to the maintenance of tlio publio schools. The property owner wns com pelled to pay it because it was charged Rgninsthimand included in his general tax receipt , while the non-property owner , against whom no other tax was assessed , could not bo forced to pay even this small amount , and no menus could bo devised for its collection. There was at ono time a plan adopted by which tlio children of a person able to pay the tax , but who refused or failed , wore deprived of the bene fits of these institutions ; but this de feated the very object of the schools , which is the improvement of the morals of the people through education , and , besides , punished the child for the dereliction of the parent , and so it was considered not only a harah but nn unwise measure. 'In this dilemma the plan of making the payment of the poll tax a prerequisite to voting was hit upon by the legisla ture , and the question was submitted to the people. It was carried , and became a part ot the constitution , and now no person in the common wealth can cast his vote without first showing his clear right to exorcise that privilege by producing the re ceipt for his capitation tax of the previous year. " The readjustee , on the other hand , say that the capitation tax is a restric tion upon the freedom of the ballot and opposed to the spirit of _ universal suffrage and , therefore , ought to bo repealed. They claim that it was purposely doviscd and has boon used as n moans of suppressing the repub lican negro vote in the state. THK advance of street railroad faro from five to ton cents during the state fair is a piece of highway robbery for which our city council is largely re sponsible. The city of Omaha , through its council , has she right to regulate street railways and restrain them from practicing oxtortiog upon : ho public. It is clearly the dnty of iho council to regulate the toll charged on these roads just as they have lim ited the toll chargeable by lacks , omnibusca and express iragons. If the street rail road had ovonj been extended to ; ho fair grounds for the publio accom modation , as it should have been long ago this doubling of the faro would bo in part excusable As it is , the whole system of street car connec tions to the fair-is a disgrace to the city and an imposition upon every man , woman and child that is compelled - polled to patronize the street car lino. No remedy can bo applied now , but the council at its very next meet ing should aeo to it that such extor tion shall cease forever hereafter. PKOIUBLY in no year since the or gantzation of this state has thcro boon such a general era of building throughout Nebraska. This is as true of the smaller interior towns as it is of Omaha and Lincoln. While Omaha and Lincoln have buildod magnifi cently and substantially , the sound of the saw , hammer and trowel has boon heard only in a loss marked degree in many other cities and towns throughout the state. Orsto , Hast ings , Grand Island , Plattsmouth , York , Beatrice , Blue Springs and Wymorc , Pawnee Oity , West Point , Fremont and a score of other towns which might bo mentioned , have evi denced their growth by putting up stores and residences 'which ' would bo creditable to the enterprise of places thrice their size. IT is presumable that the main object of the projectors of the Ilivor Improvement convention hat is call ed to meet at St. Louis on October 2Gth was the cheapening of trauspor tation , by opening up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and their tribu taries. It is somowoat remarkable that the Omahaiboard of trade bus chosen as its representative the editor of the Iferald , who has always chain pionod the railways nnd offeoded all projects that tend to break up their monopoly in transportation. If all the other boards of trade and organiz ations send men of that kidney , the convention will bo devoted mainly to an expenditure of wind and a liberal diffusion of soft aoap and blarney on the greatest benefactor of the ago Jay Gould. OALIKOKNIA is complaining that the passage of the Chinese treaty has not operated to exclude coolie immigra tion. Chinese coolies are coming into the port of San Francis'co at the rate 1,000 to 1,200 a month , and the labor market is again fooling the depressing influence of ruinously low wages. There is no doubt that a strong effort tvill bo made by the California dele gation in Congress this winter looking o the active enforcement of the treaty irovisions which permit the exclu sion of ooolio labor , Mil. DOANK had bettor beware or ho will novT bo a delegate to another democratic state convention. Don't say another word nbout monopolies and subsidized railroad organs or you will repent it as long as you live , or at nny rate as long as Jay Gould's humble servant , Dr. Miller , remains the principal exponent of Nebraska democracy. NKVUU is complaining of rotten methods of government surveys. The Nevada shrveyors linvo taken pattern after some of their Nebraska prede cessors. AN OPEN LETTER. To the lilitor of tlic HcraM : OMAHA. Sept. 12. In j-our Inmo apology in Sunday morning's Herald for your refusal to publish my com munication in reply to your tirade of nbuso upon the "Doano law" and my self personally , you say that I "invit ed the discussion. " You flatter yourself - self , doctor. I invited no discussion with you , for I well know that discus- eion in your vocabulary means only mud-slinging nnd personal nbuso. I simply requested you to publish the railroad law , which you were continually maligning and misrepresenting in the "Horald " representing , that your readers might BOO how little foundation the law itself afforded for your unfavorable diatribes. I made this request , believing nt the time that you would not bo permitted to comply with it. I was not nt nil dis appointed , when in the place of pub lishing a short law of four sections , you launched out in a column of edi torial slush and nbuso , which I doubt not you consider "discus sion" of the merits of the law. A largo portion of your article was de voted to nn endeavor to hold mo up to ridicule for a mis-rofcronco by mo , as you pretended , to the page upon which the law could bo found. In exposing the ridiculous figure you cut in the role of n critic , and the utter lack of excuse for your making such on "amusing exposure" of yourignor- anco , I referred to the fact that the session laws of 1881 wore printed and bound in the basement of the "Her ald" oflico , so that they were easily accessible to you , and that a very lit tle trouble would have saved you from thohumiliating attitudc'of "fallinginto the pit you had dug for another. " 1 also took occasion in that connection to correct another orroi you commit ted in your effort to cast a slur upon my action as n legislator , and the manner in which I employed my time in the senate. You flattered yourself that I gave much time to abuse of the editor of the Herald on the floor of senate. Bo assured , doctor , I ha.d much moro important mat ters to attend to than the ed itor of the Herald while in the senate. The only matter I could re call in which the editor of the Herald could have been personally interested which engaged any considerable "por tion of my time was the investigation into the last letting of the contracts for the state printing and binding , in which it appeared that , after all com petition had been withdrawn , the con tracts were awarded to the three in dividuals who were understood to be the representatives of the three news papers claiming to bo the organs par excellence of the democratic , republican and , greenback parties of tlio state an arrangement worthy of the oalmy days of Tweed and the "Now York Rim : . " Thcro would have been no special cause of complaint in this ap portionment , however , if the accom panying feature of a wholesale steal from the treasury of the state had not also boon borrowed from the "Now York Ring. " The advance in prices for the work under the new contracts ranged from fifty to ono thousand per cent over 'tho previous contract ! I did denounce this as a disgraceful swindle on the floorof the senate , and , truth to say , not a senator could raise his voice in vindication of it. I alluded to these facts in my article , which you refused to publish , and you whine about "personal abuso. " and say I accuse you of "being a pub lie swindler. " I did not to accuse you. I stated the facts simply , and you Bcom to have boon very ready to make the application. Now all this is just as relevant to the discussion of the railroad law as the abuse and alura you cast upon mo in the column and over , which you devoted , like the ink-fish , to the beclouding and con cealing your real purpose , which wn the refusal to publish the ' 'Doano Law" as requested , while making a show of compliance. It is not the de sign of the railroad companies , their agents or servants to lot the people know what the law really is , but to assail it by misrepresentation and falsification , and expect the people to accept their assertions in place of giv ing thorn an opportunity to read its provisions for themselves. If the llerald , in performing this role , would assume its true character as the sub sidized organ of the Union Pa cific railway company its readers could appreciate the reason of its positions upon all questions uffucting railroad interests , nnd guago their value accordingly. But to masquerade - ado before the people of the state us a democratic organ , and thus endeavor to commit the democratic party of this state to your odious monopoly princi ples , under the fnlso pretence of rep- rosontjng democratic sentiment , is a deception.you have no right to prac tice Hero at homo , the position you occupy with the Union Pa cific railroad , as nn enforced pensioner of its bounty , is well under stood and deceives no ono. Bjt in other portions of the state the Her ald may still bo accepted , by those who are ignorant of its true relations to the railroads , as nn organ of demo cratic opinion. It is not surprising that undorsuch an incubus the democratic party has staggered from defeat in ono year tea a worse ono the next , until it has be come buried under a mountain of ma jorities , from which it can only to emerge by doughing off its diseased monopoly organs and again taking its true position as the champion of the rights of the people ns against mo nopolica.
