GRFAT DISASTER AVERTED.

They have just emerged from very solemn
time in Mississippi. For several hours gloom
hung over the State, and men went about with
slow step and white faces asking one another IL
the threatened peril could not be averted. We
are happy to say it was avered, and averted Ill
n manner honorable to all concerned. Let us
briefly outline the momentous incident, which
is certain to pass into history among the tragic
events which might have been but were not.
Brigadier- General Chalmers, late OF the
Confederate Army, and still later OF Congress-
whence he was elected for occupying stolen
seat, is running for Congress as IN Ant-Bour-
bon in the Id District of Mississippi Let
us remark, paIenthetica!ly, that he Is running rs
an Anti Bourbon because it no longer pays
him to run rs bourbon. Against him Colonel
Manning, also late of the Confederate Army,
is running as the Bourbon candidate. The two
statesmen, who are endowed by nature with
extremely hot heads, met for a JOINT debate.
The Colonel dipped freely into recent political
history and gave an enter tanning account oil the
manner in which the General had succeeded IN
stealing a seat in Congress three successive
times. This was more than the General could
endure, and he rctorted with language which
could only be answered by Il challenge to mortal
combat The challenge was sent, was ac-
cepted, and place for meeting agreed upon. At
this point the gloom we have mentioned hung
itself over the State. "Suppose," men said, and
gasped at the bare mention of so dircful a
calamity, suppose both pistols should be actu-
sally charged with balls and should be well
"aimcd The State would lose two of its most
"gifted statesmen! 1t must not bel"
And it was not. The State did not know its
statesmen so well as it thought it did. They
loved the State too we'll to deprive it of their
services The matter was referred to arbl-
traitors and was "adjusted on terms alike hon
orable to both the valiant Confederates.
Peace has settled over the State, and the two
gifted statesmen appear amicably together on
the same platform amid the shouts Of admirng
thousands. Who says the age of chyalry has
passed Some croaker up i'll the cold blooded
North SAYS so. He recalls the fact that Colonel
Manning got into a similar affair several
years ago, and i'll some way the authorities were
informed of it and the flow of blood was pre-
vented by an arrest. This is pure malicious
ness Why should any man shrink from
the modern Southern duel 7 There have been
a dozen of them within year, and nobody has
been hurt. Still this sort of business appears
to amusc the South.

not get on in these days. What lies back of the
brow should not lie fallow. The farmer must
plough his farm with good brain az well as good
muscle. He must keep abreast with times that
are teeming with new ideas. He must get out
of the ruts and make the NEST of every new
process. 1t is because the county fairs are IN
strumental in imparting to the farmer new
Ideas and adding to his industrial efficiency that
we hail with satisfaction tho widespread evil
dence afforded this season of their popularity.
Let the farmers throughout the country get
all the good they can out of their annual shows,
and then they will join the town at the end OF
the season, with added intelligence as well as

member that Connecticut Democrats sent Mr..
William H. Barnum to the House and Senate 80
many years and are still represented by nm on
the National Committee, OF which he is chair
man,-with the full knowledge that no was

know that the only Democrat from CONNECTICUT
in the present Congress not only voted for the
River and fIarbor bill but secured in 1t the only
appropriation of the merit OF which there Is
any question, might think it strange that the
party should be running candidate IN nope
less district on the strength OF his opposition TO
that bill. Still stranger things are happening
every day-much stranger than that the Dem
ocratic party should be on both sides OF any
question, and it is not impossible that i'll spite
of the manifest Inconsistency of it the Dem
ocrats of the Hid District of Connecticut
may nominate David A. Wells for Congress.
They are liable to do worse.

in Pennsylvania. He knows best how the
great Don must be feeling about this time
Perhaps Major Phipps, OF Philadelphia, should
not be condemned AZ guilty until ne mas pceh

circumstances are against him. In his eleSant
apartments have been found articles oil all
kinds intended for the occupants OF the aims

Stealing is always wicked, even when IL Is at

The sim of $500 reward for the arrest oil such

The men who took part in the labor parade
generally appeared to be persons OF no sma'l
intelligence. They were neatly dressed anu
carried themselves well. 1t is TO be regretted
that these men can be governed by such persons
as their present leaders. The latter are dem
agocues of the worst kind, who persuade their
followers into all kinds of scrapcs. They are en-
ablcd to do this in great measure because the
intelligent and sensible members OF the classes
which are employed at manual labor keep at
work and have no time to act as leaders
They unfortunately delegate that duty to the
lazy fellows who would rather live by their
wits than by honest toll. 1t is pity that the
worl,ingmen allow themselves to he so cheap
ened Even this parade coming at this time Is
open to suspicion. 1t was certainly not men
ace to capital nor was it needed to impress the
public with the power of the laborlng man.
The strike of the treight-handlers was
more effective for that purpose. But 1t is not
at all unlikely that certain demagogues and dis
honest leaders thought it a good time OF year
to show the two great political parties that there
are ten thousand ballots in this city i'll the
hands of men who, if shire vdly managed with
ont their being conscious CT it, might be at the
disposal of somebody-fOr a consideration.
