TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION The Week The Ohio clerks iu the various de | partments of the government at | Washington have been commanded to stand and deliver to the republi can committee at their state five per cent. of their sularies to swell the McKinley campaign fund. As this is the heaviest demand ever made on department clerks, there is, of eourse, a vigorous kick, but it is met by the equally vigorous assur- ance that the party was never in such dire straits before Bob White, of the Mexico Ledger, one of the best known newspaper men in the state, ina paper read at %t. Louis before the editorial ciation, had the following to say of personal journalism: “Personal journalism is no longer any good, and the editor that indul- gesin it willnot help his subscrip- tion list. The people do not care what editors’ personal opinions of each other are, and do not wish to know.” ussce It pains usto note that a local firm imported 1,774 boxes of ti plate weighing 168,530 pounds from Wales yesterday, paying $2,028.81 increase in tariff duties ewing to the McKinley bill. Why this firm should persist in importing tin plate from Wales while, according to the repube lican papers, tin plate plants are springing up thoughout the United States like mushrooms after a show- er, it is difficult to understand. In the meantime who will ultimately pay that $2,028.81 increase?—Chi- cago Mail. The St. Louis Republic bas again balked the McKinley high tariff ad- vocates in their efforts to foist bogus Avnerican — tin people. Recnetly Ohio bas been flooded with McKinley medals claim- ing to be made of “Ohio Steel and California Tin.” The Republic had Regis Chauvenet & Bro., the leading avalytical chemists of St. Louis, to make an analysis of one of those medals, and their report is as fo'e lows: “The composition of the medal is wrought-iron plate of rather inferior grade, covered with a very thin cot- ing of tin and lead alloy, in which the lead largely predominates. There is certainly no steel in its composition, and we doubt very much the source claimed for the tin. Respectfully. Reais Cuavve- wat & Bro. upon a credulous The secretary of the state board of agriculture tells the farmers how to pick and pack apples. Here is a part ofit: In gathering the fruit, see that every apple is picked ty hand from the trees and placed care- fully in « basket; if, while picking, an apple drops to the ground, do not under any consideration put it with the picked fruit; for although it may not then show a bruise, if ex- amined one or two days later it is almost sure to show a bruised sur- face. If an apple cannot be reached by the picker it had far better be left to hang on the tree than to be abaken offand be put with the picked fruit. All fruit that drops while pick- ing or is shaken from the trees should be placed by itself. After a few days the bruised fruit can readily be detected, and that which is perfect ean be placed with the picked fruit. It has become quite the thing for our great men to air their views on topics of interest to the public through ths leading magazines of the country. We are satisfied the public would b> greatly benefitted by aseries of articles from of eur distinguished citizens on such sub- j sets as “The course ofa newspaper.” “When to use the modified form.’) “The length of party service to en-! titled a paper to bolt without ques- tion” etc., he might give us some in- formation on “How to secure a pen- gov,” aud “How to ruu a Farmers’ Alliance.” These are merely sug- gestions and a failure to comply with them will not be taken to heart. Thursday of last week as the train passed through J. W. Latimer's mursery, fire was set to the prairie at the west side. The wind was high which drove | $70 per thousand; 50,000 apple trees worth $60 per thousand and about | forty rods of hedge were destroyed The loss is quite large.

The St. Louis fair has long been the recognized best exponent and advertising of agricultural aud me- chanical excellence in Missouri, and of everything connected with breed ing and husbandry. It is a credit to the state and its people, and will carry permanent benefits in its train forthem. Great changes will be seen at this year’s fair. Alterations in the class lists, with increase in the value of premiums, give promise of splendid exhibits of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, agricultural machinery and products, and textile fabrics The 31st annual fair com mences on Monday, October 5tb, and continues until Saturday. Octo- ber 10th, 1891. All railroad and steamboat lines terminating in St. Louis offer a reduced rate of one fare for the round trip during the fair week. Surprise to All.
