Yesterday was " grand gala day
\ general holiday was declared b,
the business men of Dallas and tnou
sands took advantage Of it. The at

thousand The weather was simply
lovely, and nothing.could have been
more propiticus'
The arrival and presence of the mill
tary and fire companies, accompanied
by Hayerly's and Parker's iband was
the feature Of the day. The
fine bearing aud appearance OF the

betwceu the Lamar Rifles ana the
sloupwnll Greys. Both companies
were put through the manual of arms
and all the more difficult company evo-
u,ions nv their accomplished officers,
and acquitted themselves handsomely.
Whe Lamar Rifles, however, were
awarded the coveted prize, for winch
they had been so long drilling The
uplIant StoucWalIs bore the defeat like
men, however, and shared in the vie
tory 50 closely contested. Both COM
pnuies are so admirably drilled that 1t
WAS II difficult matter 10 decide which
was the best. Dallas Is justly proud OF
her citizen soldiery, aud well she
may be.

THE recent very material, sudden and
unexpected decline in the price of coal,
caused by the collapse of the combination
of several of the great carrying companies
who have persistentIy kept up the prices of
this article of necessity, in spite of the cur
rent commercial depression all over the
country, and the decline in prices of mer-
chandise of all kinds, has caused no little
excitement among retail dealers in coal
all over the country. This great coal com
bination, as early as March last issued
their circulars, fixing the price of coal for
the month of March, and at the same time
announced that there would be an advance
of from five to fifteen cents per ton for
each succeeding month, as they have done
each year since the formation of this COM
bination in 1878, and to which they have
all along strictly adhered. The retail deal
ers, in order to avail themselves of the low
est prices, have been accustomed to lay in
their supply for the winter early in the
spring and summer, sc that many of them
now have on hand large stocks bought at
the prices that obtained before the recent
fall As the decline is about $3.50 to So
per ton it can be readily seen that there is
probability of large losses to those who
are stocked up and very natural inclina-
ton to keep up prices as much as possible.
Dealers who had light stock on hand are
fortunate, as they can now buy and sell at
prices which the first-named class are 10th
to compete with. In these hard times we
are glad to note the price of any article of
necessity falling; but, at the same time,
We sympathize with those who sustain Sc
rious losses by reason Of the bad faith of
the mammoth combination to which we
have referred

IT WOULD seem that there can be no
valid xcI5e for such accidents as that on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on Sunday
morning, by which an innocent engineer
lost his life at his post of duty. The
miraculous preservation of all the other
lives on the several trains was no especial
credit to the company. The two coal
hopper trains had no right to be so close
together as 10 have cUllided. The con-
ductors of both these trains must have
known that the Western express was due
there about that time. Indeed, it appears
to have been little past due, and yet
there does not appear to have been any
successful effort made TO prevent the first
or the second collision. We do not wish
hastily to condemn the officials in charge
of these trains, but we do insist that it is
due to the travelling public that the Mary
land authorities should sift this matter
thoroughly and ascertain where the fault
lies, and then mete out such penalty as will
prevent q recurrence of like disasters.
Suppose death at the hands of the execu-
toner were the penalty for fatal railway
collision. Should we have any then?
Not, We venture to say, if sober men were
employed in the management of trains.

ROLTING.

''Boiting is most excellent practice some
times, but in these instances nothing is to be
gained by local wrangling."
The above is an editorial comment of the
New York Tribune upon the situation in
the First and Fourth districts OF Maine
We take exception to this advice-that is,
we do not believe in boiling at all. The
I'ribune has encouraged boiling, and there
fore what wonder that it now has ''the
poisoned chalice lifted to its own lips"
The invention it has patronized now ere
turns to plague the inventor" Reform
inside the party is the true corrective.
Boiling never cures the evil. The only
result that can be reached by this boiling
in the two Maine districts is the possible
election of TWO Democrats. 1t Furnishes
nobody but the party. 1t puts in jeopardy
all true interests, and is damaging every
way to the nation and the party. The
time may come when it becomes the duty
of the people to destroy and utterly over
throw a party, but that hour has not yet
arrived with the Republican party. And
TO bolt from Its regularly nominated candi-
dates because you do not like them per-
sonally does not admit of an excuse, nor is
it sufficient reason to allege that the in
dividual candidate is found wanting in
many respects, provided he is sound on all
the issues which the party contends for.
The Tribune advises boiling sometimes"
We never advise it, because it leads to dis
Indignation and disaster. When party is
entirely corrupt and beyond recovery, de-
stroY it, but while it maintains the right.
and is devoted to the perpetuauon of just
and righteous principles, sustain it and
keep 1t intact, even though few bad men
thrust themselves into the front and get
control fol a short time of offices and
emolum ents. We never advise boiling,
but when party like the Democratic Or
gsnization becomes wholly corrupt and
by its action would sap the very foundation
of the Government then let it be destroyed
and utterly annihilated. The Republican
party may have few corrupt members.
Endure them while you must. Cast them
out as soon as possible, but never bolt till
the party is irredeemsble. This we believe
to be the true policy, and the only way to
successfully combat and overthrow the
sham -Tilden Democracy.

THE TEXT of Attorney General TafEs
letter of instructions to United States mar
shals, printed elsewhere, indicates exactly
how the peace is to be preserved and the
right to register and vote is to be protected
during registration and election this fall.
The legal rights of voters are clearly and
fully set forth, and the duty devOlving
upon The United States marshals to appoint
deputies to such an Unlimited number as
may become necessary, and that of all
persons, including State officers, to join and
become part of the marshal's posse c0nlitG
tus, if required, is fully enjoined. The
National and State troops are subject to
the command of the marshal upon these
occasions, if their services shall be needed.
The Attorney General appears to have
comprehended the law and the facts. His
letter is one of the clearest and best defined
State papers which has appeared in long
time. There is no mislaking its purport.
The way faring man and the highway
White Liner, though fool, may compre-
hend it. 1t means to secure free and
unbiased expression of opinion at the ap
preaching election of all legal voters of all
parties without any outside interference
from outside parties. Where our marshsls
are men of nerve and pluck and select men
of like stamp for deputies the effect of this
circular will be salutary. If there are any
who are of different calibre and quality,
they had better resign and give place to
others. We sincerely trust that this letter
defining the duties of citizens and officers
will be all that will be found necessary to
be done to insure fair election and safety
to the lives and property of voters. 1t is
timely warning to disturbers of all sorts
and conditions. If it is not needed, some
body will undoubtedly be hurt.

AN EMINENT jurist now on a foreign
tour, for many years nominally Democrat,
but taking no active part in the politics of
the country, was recently asked what he
thought of the political outlook. The ques-
toner, being fnlly aware of the Judges aver
sion to politics, hardly expected any well
digested response, although he well knew
that, if his query had been in regard to
law point, he would have been favored with
clear and decisive answer, phrased in the
tersest language. What was his surprise,
therefore, when the Judge raised his eyes
from the American journal in which he
had been perusing the action Of the ex-
Confederate House, and said: 81 have
"just discovered the mission of the Demo
cratic party of to-day" Indeed! am
"surprised." Yes, 1 have though. 1t has
"puzzled me long, and mas in quiet way
{. occasionCd me at times no little concern
But row that is all dispelled, and the
"whole thing stands out as clear as sun
"light." aud what may this mission
be, pray?" "Why, it is simply to keep

THE NEW YORK Sun, of Sunday, has
long article on the manumissicn of the
Russian serfs. Great erudition is dis
played (gotten from the Encyclopedias
in giving the names of the masters, "the
Boyars, and the serfs, "the moujiks;"
but the animus of the whole article is
that the act of emancipation was unfor-
tupate and ill-timed. 1t is said that at least
fifty years will be required to render the
emancipation a success. A slight allusion
is made to the emancipation of the slaves
in the South, but when the fact is remem-
bered that the Sun is now Gov. Tllden's
chef organ, this allusion is sufficient to
show the intent of the article. 1t is to
show that fifty years would be required to
perfect the emancipation of the Southern
slaves and is intended to convey a delicate
hint to Vale Hampton and the other

Soutl ern friends of Gov. Tilden tlat they
may expect him to adopt line o! po icy
that will enable them to holi the colo ed
men in bondage that tine. We wre not
aware until the publication Of the art lie
in the Sun that the Southern Demt era 8
had required such pledge from T,den,
and that he had given it, but the article in
his organ indicates clearly that such is the
fact. This explains why the Ku Klux and
White Liners are determined to give the
solid vote of the South for Tilden. They
regard this pledge much more highly than
his barrels of money, and will resort to any
means, not excepting murder, to secure
that end.

NEVER before has the Administration
been SO thoroughly in accord with the
fundamental principles of the Republican
party as it is to-day. Attorney General
Taft's letter of instructions to United States
marshals is based upon the idea that every
qualified voter is free and equal, and that
his rights shall be protected by the strong
act approved as it has been after due de-
liberation by President Grant, is fitting
climax of his eight years of sturdy adher-
ence to the party Of loyalty and equal

"pretty much ceased their abuse Of Grant.
Why is it?' The answer was made that

"tiousness of the American press has much
"to answer for in its false portraits of our

A custom prevails of allowing persons ar
rested to register fictitious names at the police
stations. There may be and doubtless are
often good reasons for suppressing the real
name, but when that is done care should be
taken that the names of reputable citizens are
not substituted for those of the offenders. 1t
has occurred in many cases that innocent per-
sons have suffered annoyance at least and
sometimes more by such substitution of their
names. If names are to be suppressed at all
let those of John Doe and Richard Roe, or
even blank, take their places.

The special dispatch to the London Thncy,
which we print this morning, is probably the
most reliable war news from the East which
has been received since the war began, and
even this correspondent, in his retreat, fell
into the probable error of supposing that the
Turks had entered Alexinatz, such report
having been since denied. 1t is likely that the
Turks also suffered severely as well as the
Servians, and that a wise generalship was
manifested in not attacking strongly fortified
position with troops exhausted by ten hours
hard fighting, even though defended only by
troops as exhausted as themselves. 1t is
plain, however, that the servians have been
signally defeated.

Whenever there is a decline in coal, and
prices reach figure below the ideas of the
railroad monopolies that control the trans
portation of this prime necessity, they resort
to some means to prevent the coal reaching
the market. Formerly there would be dis
agreement as to wages, generally believed to
be brought about through the agency of these
men, ending in strike of the miners, and then
with hue and cry about stoppage of work
at the mines, scarcity of coal, &C., the coal
taken out at starvation prices would be
worked off by the willy operators and monopo-
lists at a dollar or two advance of fair and re-
munerative prices. But of late there has been
a combination of producers to limit the sup
ply, and keep prices at such figures as they
might determine upon. As might have been
expected, the greed that led to the imposition
of go high tax on the fuel of the poor and
rich has led to a breach of the compact by
those over anxious to reap the benefit. They
have killed the goose that laid their golden
eggs, and coal has gone down. But all wars
must have an end, and it is not probable this
will be of long duration. 1t is to the interest
of all the "powers" to get back to high prices
again, and the public will doubtless soon find
that the cost of the war will be levied on them
in the shape of higher prices for their fuel.
