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 hy the pubUe-apIr.tvd ertoteua who have borne the brunt of this work, ilflcon day hog been postponed nn-.ll 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.

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.

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.

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 my, nnd not the indifference of Presi dent Cleveland, as Mr. Cleveland’s en emies would like to have it appear. If, under these olccuuutaacos, Mr. Hiu tv.us, his prestige will be as great as that of auy politician In the history of the country, and though nothing la eer- talu lu polities, he oau bo reasonably (tuft of the Democratic notnluaUou for t’rea.deot lu ISO, if bo wgfftm it.

It Is a nice Job for some one. nnd the man who gets it will be considered fortunate indeed. The position pays n salary of J5.000 per year and It Is not the hardest work tn the world. Of course. U would b- timed for Mtl. Bacon to say anything about the matter untH after he Is regu larly elected, so no one will he able to get an expression from him for sev eral day* yet. In the meantime, people are speculating on the probabilities, nud among those I hear most promi nently spoken of Is Boland Ellis, one of Slaoon's brightest young lawyers . boom*,„fi *-i-n| of Mil.

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.

But Is there, then, no such thing as musical laughter—pleasant, laughter? To tllht question how unexpected and . unkind an answer "No” would be.
