Northern Democrats and the south.
TVipk ahuru Herp11

1t is now evident that the Northern Demo-
Gratis are as much opposed to doing the South
justice in public enterprises as the Republi-
cans are.l If the Texas Pacific Railroad is not
soon begun, ii will be on account of the op-
position of Northern Democrats. IT there Is
no aid given to preserve the rich Mississippi
Valley from overflow, we may know that
Northern Democrats are to blame for it. 1t
is just possible that the South Is a little too
solid. The Northern Democrats seem to
think that they have bill of sale of the
whole South and they act accordingly. IF
we point out to them that millions have been
spent on Northern railroads, rivers, harbors,
etc, and insist that the smallest Justice re-
guires thatthe South should be given enough,
at least, to develope q little Of her wealth,
they give US a huge dish OF bosh about the
iniure the party We are growing weary Of
this. Weare beginning to ask ourselves what
would be the effect If five or six Southern
States should take 1t into their heads to cast
their presidential electoral votes in 1880
where they would do the most good

After tho revelations that have come to
light during the past week in relation to the
damnabls presidential frauds in Florida, we
very much doubt the sincerity of any Demo-
crat or tho honesty of any Republican who
will not now admit that Hayes Ia occupying q
fraudulent seat and deem 1t n duty to use
their influence to GUST him from that position
philadelphia Chronicle Herald
IT will not do to say that the men who
make these allegations, being participants In
the wrong themselves, are unworthy Of be
lief Conceding everything that can be said
in that direction, there cannot be urged q
single substantial reason why the investiga-
ton should not be ordered and prosecuted to
tho fullest possible extent. Such course Is
due tho country. Every hour intensfies the
popular feeling on the subject. 1t Is not o
matter Of party, but one of Justice justice
to Hayes, justice to T'ilden; but, above and
beyond all, justice to the institutions Of the
country whose foundations have been under
mined by these hdeous frauds, and whose
very existence has been impori)cd.

It Is idle to say the country wants peace.
There can beno peace while the representative
Of great fraud remains in the presidential
chair. The American people are not used to
being governed by fraud or trickery They
have been taught to cheerfully submit to
the will of the majority, as from time to time
expressed at the ballot boxes but they
are not willing to submit to the overthrow
of that will by fabricated returns and chi
canery. Every good citizen. irrespective of
party, demands fair elections, and honest
obediences to results thus obtained; now will
any true patriot, under republican form Of
government, submit to less. Hence it Is that
the masses of the people demand an investi-
CATION, with a view to establish beyond per-
adventure Mr.. Hayes'title to the Presidency,
if that be possible, or else securing his eject
ment, in order that the rightful owner of the
place may be installed.
We are glad to observe that the leading
journals in the large cities, which, with the
single exception of the SIN, have heretofore
studiously frowned down all attempts to in
quire into the legitimacy of Hayes title, are
now beginning to show signs of returning
reason as well as of returning patriotism.

the army which Russia can place
in the field at present at 600, 900
men. This strength may be main
tanned, but cannot be Increased.
The Russian force now in Europe

to twelve and half army corps

must be employed for the occupa-
ton of Asiatic Turkey; so that
only seven and a half army corps

the Russian troops could not be
withdrawn from Turkey and
Roumania. The disposable sew.

would then be employed for occu-
plying the coasts of the Black Sea
and the Baltic. Poland and ST..
Petersburg and Moscow, where re.
cent events have shown the pres.
ence of very dangerous elements,
would also require strong garrisons.
Russia could therefore, in case of
war with England, maintain her
present positions, but would have
no forces-not to speak of an In

tionary measures against Austria,
at whose mercy she would be, if
Austria resolved on warlike meas

son in the costume of Rosalind?
There breathes not on the broad
globe to-day man so base as to
enter protest to these fascinating
visions. 1t is precisely there that
the dress reform of the future lies
dress reform which is really in
the interest of health and the es-
thetic. While mankind are averse
to seeing feminine skeletons ar
rayed In an approach to the male
costume, when it comes to the
symmetrical representatives Of the
sex, the women with trim ANGLES,
with the line of grace exemplified
even to the detail of the "dimpled
Roman knee" there is not male
alive who would breathe anything
but consent
To close q somewhat diseursive
article, it is somewhat singular
that, while the Caucasian male has
relinquished the picturesque and
artistic costume of his sex in the
middle ages, exchanging its splen-
doris of color and bedizzen ment for
the plain black dress suit of to-
day, woman still clings to the
awkward and cumbersome vest
ments of q time that has passed.
We welcome the short skirts as a
harbinger of reforms that are to
come, let us hope, in the immedi-

Playing for a Whisky Bottle.

A prominent Californian tells
the following story of Gen. Grant:
"rhe allfiredest game 1 ever saw
was one Rufe Ingalls, and Grant
played in my quarters Mt Fort

1858. They had been playing 'cut.

day was breaking I awoke, and
there sat Grant and Ingalls, play

half pint left in the bottle, and
they were betting high for it,.
They had black and white beans
for chips, and there was about one
quarter of peck piled on the ia

tracted my attention was hearing
Grant say, 'Pll see you and 60
you are million better. 1 could
scarcely restrain myself. l knew
they didn't have half q dollar to
bless themselves with, and the
whisky they were playing for was
the last of five-gallon jug sent
me from Frisco, and they were
squandering millions over it.
Well, 1 lay still until they had
bet about one hundred millions,
when 1 got up and quietly looked
at their hands. Grant had pair

would get the last drink, but nv
eyes were too heavy, and L dropped
asleep on my stool. When 1
awoke it was broad daylight. and
Grant and ingalls, were both under
the table. 1 measured the beans,
and there were just three pecks
and one-quarter. Who got the
whisky don't know, but it is my
opinion Grant did. He had the

the post Russo Turkish war-cloud,
which was no larger than mans
hand, and which timid people sup

about the proportions of an ordina-

views.

THERE can be very little doubt
of the fact that the Central organi-
cations of both parties, in leaving
the question of delegates at large
to the Constitutional Convention
in the muddle in which it confess
eddy is, have done an unprece-
dented thing and one which sug-
gests inquiries which hinge either
on their integrity or com mon
sense. When, in the history of

A New Version Of the BeDnett-May
Duel.
From the New York Times.

FUN tut NtM iofh
Both parties bought their own
pistols. Those of Mr.. Bennett were
hair triggers, new, of the finest
fashion, most delicately balanced,
and with all the latest improve
ments. Those of Mr.. May were
not new. Indeed, they were very
old, and appeared to have seen
much service. They were less ele-
giant, and less nicely finished than
Mr.. Benefits, and, as it turned out,
very hard upon the trigger; the
one that Mr.. Bennett got was so, at
least. .se,t-ss7
The party took their places aud
the word was given to fire. The
direction was to fire at the word
"fire," and not after the word

followed, and Mr.. Bennett, who
pulled at his trigger, and evidently
with the best will in the world,
did not succeed in getting his
weapon off. He was baffied by the
hardness, or rather the stiffness, of
the lock.
His second at once inteposed and
claimed that as Mr.. Bennett had
suffered his risk and disadvantage
through no fault Of his own, he was
entitled to return shot at Mr..
May.
The claim being according to
rule was, of course, allowed. and
Mr.. May took his place, empty
handed, before Mr.. Benefits pis-
tol. The face Of Mr.. Bennett
changed as he saw his opponent at
his mercy, and before the signal
words were counted out he had for
given him and fired in the air.
This terminated the proceed

The city Of Texarkana is built at
the junction of Texas, Arkansas,
and Louisiana. 1t received its
name in 1919, when an enthusias.
tic surveyor, while running the
lines, blazed the three fragments of
the names of the new States on a
tree, and predicted that a great
city would be built there. Three
years ago, when the town was
founded, the name, still to be seen
on the old tree, was adopted, and
the prediction seems In a fair way
to be verified, as the town now has
5000 inhabitants, and is an i'm
portant railroad crossing.
