In THE FIELD. The infamous s to
Z Electoral Commission is now fairly
in the field. The nomination of Gar
field by the Republican National Con-
vention makes the fraud by which
the Presidential office was stolen and
the verdict of the people at the bal

The Republican nominee was an ac-

contributed largely in consummating
the fraud. The challenge thus made
will be cheerfully met by the Democ-

The field of honor must be a Curl
GUS patch Of ground. Goss and Ryan,
our own dearly beloved exemplars of
the noble art Of punching, met a short
time ago and punished each other
severely with their fists. The papers
all called the place on which they
made beasts Of themselves the field of
honor. The other day the Marquis Gil
DE Olivers and the Count De Lardi,
two Spanish noblemen, hied them
selves from the enervating sun of Cas-
tile TO Belgium, where Mr.. Gil DE
Olivers succeeded in sending Mr.. De
Lardi TO the happy hunting grounds.
The cablegram which announced this
pleasant item of'news had something
to say about the field of honor. Fol-
lowing closely upon this the intel
ligence reached Us that NJ. Henri
Rochefort, the banished Partisan Jour
nalist, and NJ. Koechline, had met
on the field Of honor on the Belgian
frontier, and that NJ. Henri Roche
fort had enriched the soil of the
German dependency to the tune of
several quarts of good, rich, red blood,
the result of an incision made by the
deity handled sword of NJ. Koech-
line. The field Of honor was also
casually mentioned in connection with
this inspiring information. Altogeth-
er the field of honor is getting badly
mixed up, and We suggest that an in
ternational commission composed of
Goss, Ryan, Billy Edwards, Paul De
Cassagnac, NJ Henri Rochefort and
the Marquis Gil DE Olivers be called
to settle the boundaries of this much
abused field"

Answer the Questions.

Census enumerators here as well as
elsewhere seem to have some difficulty
in some cases in securing the proper
answers to their questions. Many
people seem to be ignorant of the fact
that answering these questions is com.
pulsory upon them, The law upon
this subject is very explicit and it is
published below for general informa-
ton.
In order that the census ennmerator
may have authority to compel the
full replies to the questions for inform
alton, section of the law regulating
the census fixes fine or imprison-
ment for noncompliance. The act
states:

more than 20 years of age, belonging 10

district, and in case of the absence OF the
heads and other members OF any such
family, then any agent of such family,

supervisor or enumerator, to render true
account to the best of his or her knowledge
of every person belonging TO such family,
in the various particulars required by law,
and whoever shall willfully fail or refuse
shall be guilty of msdemeanor, and
upon condition shall forfeit and pay a sum
not exceeding 500. And every president,
secretary, treasurer, general agent, or
managing director of every corporation
from which answers 10 any of the sched-
ules provided for by this act are herein
required, who shall, ii thereto requested
by the superintendent, supervisor or enum-
orator, wilfully neglect or refuse 10 give
true and complete answers to any OF the
inquiries authorized by this act, such off,
GERS or agent shall forfeit and pay n sum Of
not less than $500, or more than $40, 600,
to be recovered in action of debt, in any
court of competent jurisdiction, in the
name and to the use of the United States,
and IN addition thereto shall be guilty of
Il misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof
shall be imprisoned for term not exceed
ing one year.
SIC. 8. That all fines and penalties i'm
posed by this act may be inforced by in

in any court of competent jurisdiction
where such offences have been committed

The Springfield Republican, in an
editorial on Mr.. Hoar's wild and inco-

reminds that narrow-guage statesmen
of "the evil of appointing under Fed

tisan IN character, 10 exercise MOI
merely National authority but wide
sweeping and often corrupt party in
huence upon the result of elections. |"
In the same connection the Republican
says the Democratic party "cut down

the critical period when a surplus rev.
enue was necessary to the accumula-
ton of fund with which to resume

THE Eaton BILL, providing for the
appointment of commission to revise
the tariff, has passed the Senate. The
commission is to be composed of nine
members, to be appointed by the Pres
ident, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, to receive as
compensation $40 per diem when on
actual duty, with actual travelling and
other necessary expenses, and with
power to appoint stenographer and
messenger. 1t is to take into consid-
GRAFTON and thoroughly investigate all
the various questions relating to the
agricultural, commercial, mercantile,
manufacturing, mining and Industrial
interests of the United States, so far
as the same may be necessary to the
establishment of jhdicious tariff, or
revision of the existing tariff, aud
the system of internal revenue law,
upon a scale of justice to all interests !;
and for the purpose of fully examin-
ing the matters which may come be-
fore it, said commission Is to visit such
different portions and sections of the
country as il may deem advisable"
The commission is required to make
final report of the result of the inves-
tigation on the 1st Monday of Janua-
ry, 1881. If the bill passes the House
important results may accrue from
this commission in fixing a more uni
form and equitable rate of duties. At
any rate it will have the merit of
tiding over a vexed question which
the present Congress seems to approach
with great tremor, even so far as it is
asked to relieve the country and the
public intelligence from some most
unwarranted and unnecessary bur-
dens. But even delay in this particu-
lar may be compensating, if the COM
mission is honestly chosen, and will
honestly investigate with a purpose Of
eliminating the tariff question from
party politics, and so far as possible
relieving the people of onerous du-
ties laid with view 10 enrich partic-
ular interests at the expense of the
masses. A tariff for protection mere
ly is wrong in principle, never can be
stable or justifable, and in the end
works disastrously to those who ex-
pect to profit by it, and is q down.
right oppression and fraud upon the
people generally.

A Poetic story.

There Is quite singular tact Inc onnec-
tion with Stiles hill, in the town of South
bury, Conn. known to the country residents
living within sight of that eminence. For
six decades two tall elm trees stood side
by side, a little distance apart, upon the
topmost point of the elevation; these trees
were visible for many miles around, and
from this fact they became noted land
marks. More than sixty years ago two
little girls were wont to pass over the
summit of this hill daily, during
the summer season, to drive their
fathers COWS to pasture. They were
impIe ssed by the slightly attributes of the
elevation, and often tarrled to gaze at the
widespread landscape. One day they
conceived the idea of planting each tree
upon the hill which should be to
them reminder Of their childhood days
In the years to come. They put their idea
into effect, and two slender elm shoots
soon waved their green branches as SOL
itary sentinels in the open space round
about. Years passed by and the shoots
grew into tall, stalwart trees. The girls
grew to womanhood and passed out of the
parental home into the great, wide world.
Occasionally they would meet one another
and allude to the living reminders of
youthful days, and often they would visit
the familiar haunts of their girlhood and
would sit beneath the wide spreading
branches of the mammoth elms. About
five years ago one of the girls died, an
aged lady of almost eighty. Scarcely
had the intelligence of her death reached
the neighbcrhood of her youth than the
residents observed that one of the old elms
was dying. Its leaves wilted and with
cred as though scorched by flame, and
although midsummer yet the foliage fell
to the ground, leaving the naked, lifeless
branches and stock looking desolaie
enough. Decay quickly followed in the
great tree, and during high wind, one
night the following winter, it fell to the
earth. The other girl, although an octo-
genarian, still lives and the old elm
which she planted in her fresh young
girlhood still lives. But the people, to
whom the above circumstances are known,
watch it with interest, feeling that sub
tie relationship exists between the two
lives, and that the one will cease with the
other
