T1E Radical press aud politicians are
pitching into "Bluf Old Ben Wade
In most unmerciful manner for his
denunciation of Hayes and his South
ern policy. They rake up the record
of the past and charge him with hav.
ing waged bitter and relentless war
against the denomination OF Mr., Lin
ooln in 1864. 1t is not matter of ira
ditioh merely that many of his present
defamers Joined him in that war. If
memory is not at fault, there was
scarcely q member of either house of
Congress who was not opposed to Mr..
Lincoln's denomination, and in inau-
gurating the campaign of that year
Radical Congressmen Introduced their
speeches with an apology for their op-
position. The contest in the Repub-
lican party that year was one between
the politicians on one side and Mr..
Lincoln and the people on the other,
and in which the latter gained most
signal triumph. nH szi"oea
There is no wiping it out that the
policy of Mr.. Hayes is a wide departure
from that advocated and prasticed by
his party for the past twelve years. 1t
is identical with that which the DEM
ocracy haye at nail times asserted
would bring peace and prosperity to
the country, ana it is gratifying to see
our opponents acknowledging and ac-
quiescing in that policy, even at this
late day. But Mr. Hayes is entitled to
no great credit for embracing the true
faith. He knows full well that the
quarter of million majority of the
popular votes given to Mr.. Tilden. and
the decided majority of the electoral
votes to which Tilden was justly en-
titled, had pronounced emphatically
against Federal Interference in the To-
cal affairs of the States, and he had no
other course left but to obey the will
of the people. Besides, the refusal Of
the Democratic House of Represents
tives to make appropriations for the
army except upon condition that it
should not be employed in the South
to overawe, oppress and tyrannize
over the people, and his knowledge
that the same thing would be repeated
by the next House, left him no alter
native in the matter, and he simply
bowed to the inevitable. 1t is little
gauzy to hear the Radical leaders, who
have been waving aloft the bloody
shirt for thelast twelve years and pro-
claiming the doctrine of hate from
every political rostrum throughout the
land, now manifesting such devotion
to the policy of love and peace and
such warm attachment to the doc
trine of State Rights. Ben. Wade and
bis followers are the true representa-
ives of the Radical faith and policy
IS proclaimed and practiced since the
close Of the war, but it is to be hoped
that there will be few adherents to
that policy in the future, that the oc-
cupation of those who have been keep
ing up bitterness and strife between
the sections is at an end. "Let US haye
peace"

IT is the purpose OF Mr.. Hayes TO
pursue the forced resumption policy
provided by the Resumption Act. The
work of contraction of the currency is
to go steadily on; the bonded, inter-
est-bearing debt of the government to
be steadily increased, SO that, within
the next nineteen months, the entire
greenback circulation shall be wiped
out. And all this oppression is to be
heaped upon the producing people OF
the country that they may have the
iaestimable privilege OF paying the
bond holders in gold.

illustrates the Piano " mr. by n Dog
story, and Gives tho Bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with a handsome
Newfoundland dog. AS neither had any
corroborative evidence, the astute judge
decided that the instinct of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant wss placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at a
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and choose between
the claimants.
The Judge called time each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog but the dog, after
looking at the judge and surveying the
scene, escaped through the door, and
sought elsewhere its rightful owner.
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple of piauo-forte manutacturers-both
honorable men-hsve been whistling their
respective centennial awards through tho
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
The prize belongs elsewhere.
Stripped, then, of all verbiage, subter-
fuge, elimination and recrimination, law
suits, and all side issues simply intended to
befog the public, the naked facts as TO the
centennial awards are just these:
Most of the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at. The
only real distinction was made by the jury
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.
The piano, violin, and every other musi-
cal instrument is valued aud purchased
for its
TONE.
Thus, then, the Baltomore house is given
an award for general excellence in the
requisites of a first-class instrument in
power of tone," to which the commission
added singing quality.
The New York house for "largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice it to say that the Weber award
contains all that is possible in piano-forte
-''sympathy, purity, richness, and great.
est power"
In short, soul in piano. A. WEBER
