THE DIXIE FAIR.
Today ushers lu the third week at tbo
Dixie Interstate Fair, which Is by long
*.«Ids the grandest exposition of the
slate’s resources over gathered to
gether. Hie management of the fair
havo nt great expense of rime, labor
and money g.ren to the people this ex
position, and it Is certain to be of great
practical benefit to tbo state At large.
No, one will question tho benefits to
.uacott directly. There has been uo
event In her History that has attracted
more favorable uncut,on to Macpa
umu has this fair, and it will mark a
now era In her rpatcrlal progress.
While this la true, It la also true that
the patronage has not boon what the
fu.r has deserved nor what was Justly
expected, lu consequence tho flout-
c.sl success of tbe enterprise is not yet
assured, uur own people owe much'
to the Dixie Fair—more than they
bare yet given. Now Is the tnuo to
ahow aj.preclation of rite efforts mnde

have borne the brunt of this work,

Wednesday of this week and a special
appeal will be made »■> lsaoon p-ople
the redaction of the tariff. It is tbe
reglt.tr whose lndustr;.-. aro most f.1
vored In the McKinley tariff. If It be
true, as this corresixmdent says, that
within a few weeks after the Wilson
bill became a law, these protective In-
dustrien are running full lime ulgbt
and. day, to fill orders, tbe wisdom ..I
reducing the duties Is already vlndh
rated. It cannot be that th6 South
will bo prosperous when cotton Is sell
ing at five etuis a pound, but neverthe
less there is promise of a better future,
even for the Booth, In this hows frum
the I’lttsburg region. Tbe business <>f
the world Is now Independent to un ex
traordinary degree. The prosperity
that comes to the iron works of Pitts
burg has It* effect In every part of tbe
Industrial system—more distinctly In
some part« than In others, but percep
tibly everywhere. The same thing is
true of prosper,ty In any other depart
ment of industry, and It la therefore
generally true that a revival of Indus
try in one department, after a general
collapse, may be taken as an Indica
tion that a general revival Is about to
occur. The conditions which make
that revival possible are the same con.
d.tlons which make revivals in all de
partments pusmblo. By great good
fortune, five-cent cotton comes In the
same year when other crops are unusu
ally good, and U does not therefore pro
duce tho disaster that it might, have
produced In other years.
MnJ. Bacon was nominated In tbe
Democratic caucus, receiving 03 votes,
which was a clear majority of 20, but
this really did not gauge bis strength
la the caucus. It was known positively
,y those who were managing the cam
paign tbat on tho second or third bal
lot he would have received in addition
at least thirty more votes, so that his
real strength In tbo caucus was at
least 123 Instead of .1)3 votes. We do
not remember any oontest for a great
office in which several admittedly
strong candidates were entered. In
wh.cb the winner gained so great a
lead.

IS NEW YORK-
The remarkable campaign which Is.
Just cloalbg tu New York leaves every
body lu doubs as to the result of tho
election which Is to follow. Both sides
are making cta.ms which scout extrav
agant to an observer from tho outside.
Senator Hill’S canvass ot the state has
done much, undoubtedly, to arouse the
cntbuslusw of his party, and his well
known capacity for organization has
no doubt done much to br.ng all fac
tious of the party to his support. Tho
Republicans claim, therefore, that they
will carry the »uto by onu hundred
thou»uud majority or more, la upt to
be shown to have been a grossly mis
taken one. But It must be admitted
that circumstances are favorable to Re
publican success. The Democrats aro
not (iit.rcly hsrinoulolis, but tills la a
um t ter of far less hnportiuico than tho
fact that the country la p.ias.ng through
u period of business Ucpronsiou, which
results in low wages amt lack of em
ployment umoug tho working people,
as well as distress among other classes.
It Is because at tb,s experience that
the Republicans have been able to win
so many victories during the last few
mouths. They nave had with them
the discontent of the country, and tlt.s
Is a very largo factor which is apt, In
the New York elections ns Maewhere,
to tell forcibly against the Democrats.
It Is ibis which la Mr. IIIIl’s chief ene

There has been considerable specu

some one. nnd the man who gets it
will be considered fortunate indeed.
The position pays n salary of J5.000

tn the world. Of course. U would b-

about the matter untH after he Is regu

•THE BRUTE IN LAUGHTER.
It was thought a strange discovery
when, somewhere In northern Asia, a
tribe of woodland men was found who
never laughed; never laughed, not be-
causo they wefe too proud, as certain
tribes among ourselves are, but because
they had never known how. So the
travelers convinced themselves who
employed a train of these laughterless
people as guides through the forest*
they were found In. All sorts of tricks
were tried to move them to mirth, and
all failed. They gazed upon the most
screaming practical jokes in stlenc*
and with unaltered countenances. Their
mirth, .f they wero roused to auy,
was on interior tickle, quite. For
laughter they seemed entirely without
the wherewithal, much to the travelers’
amazement and more to their pity.
I wonder whether die commiseration
was mutual. Not to bo able to laugh
seems a dreadful thing to those who
mako that noise, but to men incapable
of making tho noise Uoiv sad it must
seem, and how strangely resembling
thiilr fellow creatures to tho beasts of
the field. To. be sure, we who laugh
tiro proud of the gift because we fancy *
it one of the .'ialf-dlvlne things which
the beasts have liot. But this Is tho
fancy of pcoide who do not laugh and
who, 9,1)01) times ,n lu.OUl), have never
listened to the sound of laughter as so
much noise; mere noise, dissociated
from all Idea and preconception. But
that is how this outland.sh folk did
listen when the travelers wero explod
ing over their own so-well-got-up prac
tical Jokes. It would be entirely un-
Iihllosophical to assume that the forest
jieojile could not see the fun of those
humorous contrivances of the western
world. For if one sort of savage tribes
can educate themselves to suffer tho
most excruciating pain without moving
a muscle, why should not another sort
bo brought- up to enjoy the most ex
traordinary jokes with tho same dig
nity V Surely they m,ght, If conscious
of tho same motive—tae Red Indian's
disdain of utteriDg unseemly cr,es and
making ugly faces. Well, men, if that
were the case, these secluded wood-
landers, whilo they saw the fun just
us the Red Indian- feels the pain,
heard laughter for the first time, Aud .

Las: Saturday at .the hour of high

onto and received tee seal of the atare
acts that completed 'tee ceremonial ot

commonwealth. Hla address was fully
up to .the demands of tee ocoaelon—
strong, broad, progressive and patilotlc.
Running through it all was a <xms;,-Y-i-

they parted from the travelers pitying
them as much as they themselves wero

But Is there, then, no such thing as
musical laughter—pleasant, laughter?
To tllht question how unexpected and .
unkind an answer "No” would be.
Perliaps, also, impossible,' except from
the mouth of a philosopher ot tho
laughterless tribe. When you hear
some unknown voice luughlng without

sumption. Do this, and what you w 111
hear will be n clatter of sound like
many things more than tho expression
of a human voice. It may even sound
