We believe that "the right of every citizen"
black and white alike, ''shOuld be held sa-
cred" We believe That the constitution
should be obeyed, though II Is the custom OF
the Radicals TO tTample upon its provisions.
We believe that the laws should be enforced,
and IL Is precisely because the Radicals will
not enforce them that We have such frequent
occasion TO denounce the evil-dOers as false 10
their oathg and the obligations Of good cltl-

they propose to extend equal and exact JUS

Another Confngraiiou in Chicago.



At il3 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, fire
broke ont in some small frame houses near
Fourth Avenue and Polk street, in Chicago
The fire spread with great rapidly toward the
central part Of the city, deyouring everything
in its course II ragged with great fcrccncss

got under control
Among tho notable buildings burned, arc the
Post Office, the First Baptist church, the 81.
James, Michigan Avenue, and Continental
Hotels, and the Adophi Theatre. Thoheaviest
losses are reported on Wabash Avenue, where
several very elegant and costly dwellings have
been loyelled. The loss by the removal Of
goods must also be very large. It is feared
that great loss Of life is inevitable
Tho dispatches received are Of a very con-
licting and contradictory character, but ii IL
evident from them that the greater portion OF
the territory covered by the fire is among
thickly inhabited dweling-houscs, where the
inconvenience viii bc most deeply felt, but the
loss Of property will not be SO great. The fire
in It's course has purified the worst part Of the
entire city and it cannot be supposed, with
our present adyices that the loss Of property
will be anything near that lost in the great fire

NEwrANE,-Ths town, which has just cele-
brated its centennial, is remarkable for having
moved its village completely. From 1871 to
1890, it was on Newfane hill, an eminence
from which fifty townships and distant noun
tains in New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
were visible. The village consisted of a court
house, jail, meeting house, academy--the first
academy that Windham county ever saw-twC
stores, two hotels, and variety Of shops, such
as were found in all New England villages al
an carly day, and about twenty private resi-
dences. Not trace of this village in the shape
of a building of any kind remains, to-day; in
deed, as long ago as 1860, there was not build
ing left standing which stood in the old village
In 1895 the site Of the public buildings was
changed from Newhne Hill to what is now
called Fayetteville village two miles east o.
the old center, in the valley of the Wantasti
quet River.

A PLEASANT Tine Conductor II 5, Bout

invited about dozen of our citizens last week
to visit the White Mountains. The party
started from here Saturday morning, and TO
turned Tuesday night. They report most en-
joyable trip, and are loud in their praises Of
Messrs. Boutwell,, j. G. & W Stcarns, Charles
A. Jones, and Cephas Bracket, conductors Fer
guson and Eastman of the Concord x Montreal
road, and the conductor on the Wing road, the
proprietors and clerks at the Profile, flume,
Thayer and Fabyan houses. The dinner at Mrs.
Stacks, at Wells River, was excellent, as it al
ways is. We regret that an imperative bust
ness engagement prevented our accepting on
invitation to accompany the party.
