Had the weather been fine, we would
have had the best fair ever held in
the eonnty. As it was, the stock
show was the finest ever here. With fine weather, we can have the grand

What a newspaper doesn't pnb- - lisb, and could if it would, would make excellent, reading. A paper that would publish legitimate news items,just as they come along,would getr into trouble of course, but it would be bought up and borrowed and read till the whole edition was worn oat. We could make Rome
howl any time by saying what we hear about tilings that half the town talks of. Small thanks a paper gets usually for suppressing thing3 things they' wouldn't see in print for the world, but it keeps right on just the same, discreetly picking out its way to avoid as much hurting of feelings as it possibly can."

Many people are annoyed - by offensive smelling cistern water. It is said that two ounces of saltpetre dissolded in a quart of warm water and thrown into the cistern will sheck the difficulty at once. Repeat about once in three months. A sack of pulverized charceal sunk in the cistern will also do much to purify the water and to remove the ojfensive odor.
tinually exhaled on their mustache,
they gather around the sacramental table, and dip their filthy beard in the wine, that I have thought it would he not out of place to invite such persons to be seated by themselves, so that others at the communion be not partakers of- their filth. But then this could not be done without causing oifense, for those addicted to this habit do not enen allow any one to refer to any impropriety in its use without feeling that they are insulted. I did not write this. I don't know who did. It is as well done, however, a3 though I had written it : "I hope to go to the realms above, when I lie down to die; I hope that choirs all clad in white will greet "raf wandering eye. I know thatI'ff be filled with joy, in regions free from care, for angels tell iae in my sleep, there aie no kickers there. Though rugged be the jasper pave, no soul dare complain ; though sunlight shines the ages through, no spirits call for rain ; though crowns be half a size too small, no seraphs tear their hair, and all is joy above because, there are no kickers there. The music may be out of tune, not one will hold his ears ; the robes may not be tailor made, there'll be no moans or tears ; the sandals may be often worn, none ask a better pair, for glory to the Lord of Hosts, there are no kickers there. And when the celestial council calls, for paving on the street, the man who gets the contract may work onward swift and fleet, no spirits will injunctions, bring, nor cranks or croakers swear, the realms above are free from chumps, there are no kickers there. Then take me from this vale of teai3, where cranks come to the front ; where men who
never work or toil, still lie around
and grunt ; I long to wear celestial
robes, and climb the golden stair for well I know that in those lands,
there are no kickers there."

On last Wednesday, the Chicago
News printed opinion of prominent
men from every State in the Union
in regard to Cleveland's administfation, The result was highly
complimentary to the President. President Jordan, of this city, wrote as follows : Dear Sik: I may say that in my
opinion, the ad ministration of President Cleveland is to be commended for its resistance to demagogic pressure and influence, its soundness on financial questions, and its independent and business-like character generally. On the other hand I have felt disappointed at the disrepancy between the professions and the practica of the administration in the matter of civil-service reform. !So far as Indiana is concerned I do not think that the administration could have done much worse in this respect than it has done. Efficient officers have been repeatedly dismissed for the reputed reason of "offensive partisan ship" on the evidence of men whose testimony would not convict a dog of sheep-stealing. On the whole, however, the administration of President Cleveland seems to me business-like, efficient, and reasonably clean, and I should prefer to see him re-elected than to see any of the current demagogues republican or democrat in the presidential chair.
