In 1868 two Bayham, Ont, farmers quar-
relied about a boundary line between their
lands, and since then, have had many per-
sonal encounter, some serious enough to re-
suit in broken bones. Time and again the
fence has been removed at night by one
party and replaced during another night by
the other. Three lawsuits have started
from the quarrel, grown up, blossomed,
seeded and died. Assassination has been
imminent at times, but last week, third
party undertook reconciliation, and brought
in surveyor who found that one man en-
croached one inch upon his neighbours soil.
The fence was moved that inch, and the
conflict of 10 years was at an end.

DISCUSSING the question of crime in the
South, in the light of recent tragedies,
the Louisville Courier-Journal says:
1.-THE same mental and moral madness
which now excuses the excuses of the ma
rauders from Ohio and the Ashland raiders,
has in the past demoralized iuries, made
prosecuting attorneys Indifferent, made
judges lenient, and beset executives with de-
msnds for mercy. 1t is this false, shallow
and pernicious sentimentalism, this de-
bauched and debasing philosophy, this eff
feminite morality, which we combat. We
have need for sterner virtues, for frmer
faith in the majestic justice OF the law. We
need to hear from the pulpit and the press
the thunders of the law, beginning, Thus
saith the Lord We cannot have its bles-
sings apart from its terrors, and if we would
hold fast to the one we must firmly face the
other"

THE Worcester Spy says: Bntler has at
last attained the object of his life long am
bition. That which the Republican party
would not and the Democratic party hereto
fore could not give him, he has won by his
own personal force and persistency. 1t
would be useless, if we were disposed to be-
little his triumph, for it is his, not that of
his party, but his own. The methods by
which he gained it do not command our adj
miration or approval, blu: while profoundly
distrusting his character and condemning
much of his public conduct, we cannot but
wonder at the vigor and tenacity with which
he has pursued the great prize, undiscour-
aged by repeated failures and rebuffs. The
consequences OF his election will be seen in
its influence upon political conditions else
where rather than in any direct effect upon
the government or administration of Massa-
ehusetts.

WHEN the duke and duchess of Edinburgh
went to the Bristol musical festival, heavy
rain had made the streets muddy, and the
mayr, who stood at the carriage as they
alighted, tore off his overcoat and threw it
down where the royal footsey tootsey trod,
and the duchess crossed to the portals of
the academy dry shod. Sir Walter Raleigh

A REPUBLICAN judge of L. s. Circuit
Court has recently decided that the XII
Klux laws are unconstitutional, and his de-
cision is probably right: that it is technically
50 is certain. But whether right or wrong
it should be affirmed or reversed by the
Supreme Court at once, for there are now
confined in the Albany and other Northern
prisons scores of Southern men convicted
under the laws referred to, and if those laws
be unconstitutional the further imprison-
ment of these men is an outrage not only
upon them but upon those institutions OF
the country, upon the sanctity of which de-

Letter from Falls Church.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
FALLS CHURCH, Va, August Z, $3.50
many Of the inhabitants Of this town travel
regularly on the railroads, and are obliged
to meet the trains on time without regard
to the condition Of the weather or roads.
that in the interest of pedestrians and con-
sulting their comfort the question of good
| sidewalks has been 4 prominent one for
some time. The Council has for two years
teemed upon the subject the scintillations of
massive brain power, but admitting the ne
cessity, has failed TO illuminate the ways
and means thereof The efforts Of the
municipal authorities heretofore have result
ed in collecting taxes from all the property
| holders on the outskirts of the town and
dumping the proceeds in the mud in front
of the postoffice until it became an assured
fact that they had not sufficient brains to
develop and prosecute such system of i'm
provement as would be useful to the public.
BENEFICIAL to the property holders, and Il
credit to the town.
AS with the roads so with the sidewalks
NO digested plan of operation has ever been
adopted. Some few of the store keepers
| have for their own benefit provided side
walks in front of their places of business.
but the majority of the others have trusted
to the contour of the ground, the weight
of passing feet and luck to work out side
walk. In the meanwhile the large property
holders, who owned teams and generally
| went on horseback or in vehicles. having no
necessity for sidewalks, did not move in the
matter Of their construction.
An equitable mode Of having the work
done with regard to the interests Of al sec
tons by general taxation would meet the
views of all taxpayers provided they had
any possible assurance that the funds SO
raised would not be used to crafty some
people who own more mouth than land TO
the detriment of the people furnishing the
means for the work
This, however. does not seem TO meet
the wishes of few denizcns of class
ranging from holders of lots with ten pole
fronts, down to the class that don't own q
grain OF sand they grind so majestically
under their heels; they would prefer that
every land owner should make sidewalk
before his own property, realizing that they
would be at little or no cost, while their
neighbor, who seldom or never uses the
walk, would bear the entire expense.
In the meantime little work was done,
and the prospect was fine to have less done
in the future, until some enterprising pedes-
TRANS, realizing that the sureSt way to get
anything done was TO do it yourself
called meeting TO take action in the matter
at which one hundred and fifty dollars was
subscribed by volunteers in order that the
work might be prosecuted.
With such fair start, hope when next
you visit town you may be able to keep out
of the mud DEP.
