Tbe County Pair.

Th*. coiurty fair, which during the po!<t month in tuatiy sections of tbe country has boen lb* prime attraction of rural denizens. Is an educational as well as recreative Institution which denerves to be perpetuated. Nowhere Is our national life more distinctive and picturesque than at the county fair, the legitimate successor of the harvest homo, where after the gathering of the crops tbe rural folk meet for social In tercoursc and tbe exhibition of their choicest products. As an Institution It has existed In one form or soother ever since man discovered that he had a neighbor. Although primarily a market. Its social asjx-ct has always been Important, and Increasingly so since modern methods made trade less difficult. More and more It has served to bring the country people Into closer touch with one soother sod tbe outside world. It has helped, through the exhibits of Improved agricultural machinery. to lessen the farmer's toll and Increase his harvests and. not less Important. bos widened his Intellectna) horizon and stimulated bis Interest In men and things not related to hit Im-

mediate occupation.

There is a tendency In some quarters to lament the alleged decadence of tbe county fair, the criticism being that various attractions of tbe "midway*’ order are In danger of dimming tbe glory of the farm and domestic prodnets which ooce enjoyed undisputed pre-eminence. Possibly there la • basis of truth In the complaint but it must be remembered that times change, and fairs change with them, end If the county fair of today Is not cast In the same mold aa forty yean ago neither is the modern farmer. Innovations and changes, mainly for the better, have been made, but In Its essential features tbe good old county fair remain*. and ao It wfl] remain aa one of the potent forces for progress in American country life, which Is after aO the basis of our national well«B*iag

A National Tropical Park. Tbe wisdom of the federal government under varying and various administrations In tbe establishment and maintenance of national parks and forest reserves Is not generally questioned, sad the people of tbe United States will learn with Interest If not with approval of tbe suggestion to establish a national park In Porto Blco which will rival the Yellowstooe In varied and strange natural phenomena. Dr. John C. Gifford of tbe bureau of forestry at Washington, who baa been exploring tbe Lognlllo reservation in. eastern Porto Btco, baa found an area which would mmkr an Ideal tropical park. In this region, now almost wholly unoccupied, abound straugs and uo-

Ms party croasrd El Yungoe range at Its Sghest point where It Is claimed no white man has gone since the days of tbe Spanish explorers four centuries ago To gst through this ragioa

H was lien s—ry for the peons srtoo accompanied I)f. Gifford to cut pathways with their machetes. Beautiful streams were found tumbling over precipices hundreds of feet high, affording valuable water power In aoine of these streams u*tires wars "panning" gold that netted theui from 50 cents to 51 a day each. Ilugc aromatic gum trees, from th* gum of which natives make candles, a groat abundance of tropical fruits and atnngo botanical specimens and Insects wore found. As tbe result of Dr. Gifford's researches there la talk in Washington of establishing in this fascinating region a great tropical park, which at comparatively small expense couh^Jt Is said, he made one of tbe wonders of tbe world. Mrs Russell Sage apparently' Hods no serious difficult!** and vexatious In the house servant problem, as she says: “How to keep servants should be no problem to auy woman of today. There is no secret about It—It rests lu the do lueeticlty of tbe woman of the bouse If a woman Is domestic In her taste. If she loves her home. If the takes an Interest In the little things of the day. If she treats her servants with plain, everyday klodntws. she will have little difficulty In keeping them with her as Ion* as she pleases." Perhaps some of the good housewives who complain ao bitterly about their servants and Dixl them so hard to keep have ijft thought to try Mrs. fktge's simple plau The talk that owing to the recent contest/or th* Republican senatorial noiuii stion^tliere has com* to the minds of th* Republicans ut this couuly a deMr* to have koine one hIho sent 10 the United States Senate 10 the piacg of Senator Kean, is all the imagination .of some «ii« are not scquaiote-l with the situation in this county. There is a decided feeling here that" Senator Kcsn should he rnurued U-cjum ul hta influence at Washington and of ihe good wutk winch he has done ami which he sud Hil'ireth. the Ueputdhvn nominees for the Legislature, are favorably dispo**vi t •said the .Senator’s re-election. The Atlantic County Repoblicaiwt 01rentinn lo-t Satunisy re-nomtnnted Thomas t‘ Elvina for the Assemble. fh5 <* .pw-uiiou slso^a-sed a resolution endorsing* oneressman.’ubo J Gardner for Governor. The t oiigressuian also has a large number of friends in this cnin-ty who would he pleased to see hhu as th* chief executive’ of this

Despite the engineering difficulties It will apparently not be as difficult to complete tbe Isthmian canal as It Is to get It started.

Doubtless some bloomin’ Britishers will Insist that Sir Thomas Upton’s Indigestion was due to “the beastly Hsmerican cooking, dontcherknow.”

. It does not appear that the taking of Kastoria has given tbe sultan any considerable relief. He la still the same “alck man of Europe." Tbe summer Is gone officially, but there may be a few slightly shop worn hot waves still to come.

The two departments are expected to work in harmonious cooperation, us the functions of each are clearly defined and there is full agreement between them. Mr. James C.

GEORGE B. COKTELYOn. (Iliad of Department of Commerce.

Secretary Cortelyou has determined to consfilldate the office of disbursing clerk, department of labor, with the disbursting office of the department of commerce and labor from July 1 next, when the department of labor will become a bureau of the new department. This course sill slmplifjMfhe work of accounting to tbe officer* of the treasury. as the dtobnrsen-t nt* on account of the department of Inbof will be Included 1* the accounts of tbe dlsburetIng office of the department of commerce and labor, doing away with one set of account* in the secretary'**office, the .auditor’s office, the treasury in Washington and the subtree sure In Jfew Y’ork. The »rprices of tbe disbursing clerk of the department of labor will be required In connection with the examination of the vouchers for expenditures in the department, before they are sent to the secretary's office for audit and payptent.
