MONDAY evening was the time
ana this city the scene Of action :
one man on asking aHother to pay
bis board bill, was challenged to
fight, and the result was that the
person demanding tie cash, instead
ofreceiving the "flthY lucre, had his
face, head and body badly bruised
by brass kpuckles. The man was
nc. doubt justified in asking for what
rightly belonged to him, but it is
not always safe to rely on the muscle
to force payment, and besides fag
rlore manly to keep ont Of disgrace
fal difficulties of this kind. The
cowardly act of the opposing party
to charge on another with artificial
knuckles, is recognized by all, and
should be justly handled by law
There is surely something wrong
in the management Of police officers
(if we have any to allow such ma
licious doings to take place in the
city limits, and it is but right that
our peace-loving citizens should de-
,nand of the Common Council some
means to sHppress and severely pua-
ish paryies participating in s1ph
rows.

At the examinations, some two
weeks ago, of Chas. Cheserfeld,who
was arrested and charged with
cutting and stabbing Winfield Davis,
it was declared that "there was no
hope for Davis recovery, his wounds
being likely to prove fatal very
soon" From the reports ciI culated
Yesterday, which are to the effect
that Davis was personally connected
with another row on Monday, it is
quite evident that he still lives, and
anxious to let loose the blood Of
man. If his quarrel with Chester
field does not prove fatal, it ought
to infuse into him q desirs 10 con-
duct himself differently IN the tu-
ture from his past, career.

now being painted and papered to

IN some of our neighboring cities
the business men have signed agree
ments to close their stores at s
o'clock every evening, except Sat-
urday, from June lst to September
LIST. The plan is good one and in
justice to employees, should bo fol-
lowed by all dry goods, grocery and
other business houses here. The
duties devolving upon clerks are ar
duous, keeping them closely confined
and apon their feet most Of the day.
Their meals are invariably swallowed
In a hurry, and their hours for ex-
ercise and recreation limited to the
short period intervening betweon
closing up and bed time Where the
clerk is kept at work late every
night, he oltentimes infrmges upon
tive hours which should be spent in
bed, seeking for that recreation
which a hard master has deprived
him of, thus forming unsteady hab-
its, undermining his constitution
and working injury to himself in
various other WAYS. The clerk is
not the only one who needs rest
THE merchant troubled with the
cares of business, aAd tired frors
over physical labor, should 60 to his
home at s o'clock, and seek that rest
which he absolutely requires in
order to bear up under the strain
Of commercial life. He should not
do this for rest alone, but for the
purpose Of avaiing himself of the
pleasures of home and the society Of
the dear ones there. We trust the
merchants in this city will adopt the
plan.

a NEW and elegant Self Binder has
been attached to the Mccormick s
celebrated Harvesting Machine and
enables the world renowned invent-
ors and propriotors . place it IN the
hands of farmers, for the harvest of
1877, not only on the splendid record
of last year, but &lso on the recon-
mendation and guarantee of the
improvements made over that Of
last season. Excellent testimonials
have been secured as to its working
in the field last year but the praise
that followed the 1876 binder will
fade into insignifcance when applied
to the triumphant 1877 raachine.
Only one man is required to operate
the machine, and it will cat, bind
into bundles, and deliver the sheaves
on the ground in good shape, and
out of the way. The attachment is so
conducted as to- work with any of the
Haryesters that have been made il
the past by this firm. Let those
who desire to see this favorable at
tachment, call at the office Of D.
Pratt, near the depot in this city
and examine into the merits of the
same.

TRIBUNE, removed or course there must
hsSe been something wrong with Bennett, for
Mr. Hayes civil service reform policy opposes
removals. except for cause WHl Bennett tell
us the cause ?-DARLINGToS DEaoCRAT.
After all that has been said about
civil service reofrn, we admit the
propriety of the above query, but
for the life of US cant answer it..
Were it not our understanding that
keyes and Hazeison are in full svm-
pathy with Hayes civil service re-
form theory,we might be led to think
that the course of the TRIBUNE
toward those luminaries of political
greatness and circumspection, had
something to do with our retiremens.
Perhaps we shall be able to enlight
en- our friends as to ''the cause" by
the time we reach another Congress-

amount from King county. and which
has been in use ever since as an imm'-

Territorial necessity. The Territory Is
out Of debt. with money in the Treas

which the public funds could be ex-

In view Of these facts we would ask
our Legislature to signallze this session
by taking this matter in hand. and
making such an appropriation as will
render this route the great thoroughfare

and lastly the railroad. We have had
the trail and now, after the lapse of
over two decades of time, let us take
another step forward and have the
wagon road, and then all other things
will shortly be added.
To accomplish this great desideratim.
We trust that the delegations from King
county and east of the mountains will
leave no stone unturncd, and in doing

members of both houses. realizing the
necessity Of the thing and the good to
