Bitter Controversy Conducted to the Fighting
Point

Point.
AUGUST, Ga, Nov. GA bitter personal
quarrel is in progress between Dawson, editor
Of the Charleston Netcs and Courier, and
Patrick Walsh, editor of the Chronicle and
Sentinel of this city. The first-named gen.
tleman Is q member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from South Carolina, aud
the second holds q similar position from
Georgia. Dawson is an English Catholic,
while Walsh is an Irish Catholic. When the
Presidential election was over Walsh tele-
graphed congratulations to John Kelly of
New York declaring that Tsmmany had
made Cleveland President. This gave rise
to bitter personal quarrel between Walsh
and Dawson. The latter, in his paper, de-
nouncss Walsh, and says "The Irish Amer
leans stand on the Same footing as any other
body Of white American citizens. Their
worst foe, indeed, is the professional Irish
man, of whom Walsh is . type--the Irish
man who trades on the national aspirations
Of his race, who makes capital out of Irish
hopes, and bargains with Irish fears; who is
an lrIshman as long as there is dollar to be
gained Ia Erin's uame, but an American
when In Ireland's cause there Is a sacrifice
to make or risk 10 run. II the citizens of
Augusta are ready to submit to his vulgar
tyranny, It is not for us to stand In the way.
Probably they will thank us in any case for
provoking their would be. boss TO drop the
mask and exhibit in their naked deformity
the coarssness, malice, and selfshuess Of
which he Is made up"
To this Walsh to day replied that Dawson
was guilty Of malicious falsehood, and says:
"Dawson's own language illustrates bis lit
tleness and contemplate snobbisbness better
than we can depict them. II he was brave
and chivslric gentleman he would not have
written about us as he has. His language
proves him to be a counterfeit merely of q
gentleman" As the quarrel has now reached
the fighting point, it will be interesting to
note what will be done next. Walsh is brave
enough to fight, but Dawson Is on record rs
beirg opposed TO dueliDg, having been
knighted by Pope Leo for his opposition to

NORTHERN PACIFIC TAXATION.

II will be remembered that SEINE weeks
since the Assessors Of the several counties
met In Helena to devise ways and means to
assess the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany's property In Montana. On the prop.
osition to assess the earned lands of said
company, the title to which does not appear
to have yet been vested In the company by
the United States, Commissioners Batter
ton and Evans very properly, a. we believed
and endeavorsd to show, declined to act la
concert with the other Commissioners.
They were censured for this, but were we
believe correct In not encumbering the
county with expense In an utterly hopeless
and futile undertaking. The following from
an exchange shows the result Of the matter
In Custer county, and We have no doubt is =
correct decision:
"A decision in an important case was rem
dered by Judge Coburn at Miles City on the
21st. Il will be remembered that the diff
ferent county assessors Of the counties
through which the Northern Pacific railroad
passes assembled last spring for the purpose
OF taking uniform action in the matter Of
taxing the property Of the above corporation.
At this meeting 1t was proposed to submit: .
test case to the decision Of the courts. The
result Of the trial was that Judge CobLrn or
dered that the Commissioners modify the
assessment rolls and only extend the person.
al property Of the company on the tax lists
of Custer county. This leaves the lands,
roadbsd, ETC., untaxed. James II. Garlock
appeared for the Northern Pacific and An
drew r. Burleigh for the people,"
We are most emphatically Of the opinion
that BY the policy Of not taking out patents
for their earned lands until they have dis
pssed Of them to other parties, or are pre-
pared and obligated to do SO, the land grant
companies are evading the purpose and In.
tent Of their charters and their just share Of
the public burdens. But Territorial laws
and County Commissioners and Assessors
cannot tax United States lands or compel
the company TO take out patent so Is To rem
der them subject to taxation. The power to
do the latter vests In the Congress of The
United States, and Whatever influence Men
tana has to secure needed national legisla-
tion on the matter should be vigorously OK.

THERE Is quite q discrepancy in this
county between the number of votes cast
"fIr" aud against" the Constitution and the
total vote polled. The unaccountable
blunder was made In ono or more precincts
of throwing out and not counting the votes
"for the Constitution" unless they we're
filled out "for the Constitution; yes." 1t
might just as well have been required that
the adverse vote should read against the
Constitution; No." but that does not appear
to have occurred TO the judges.

Verdict of the Press on the Lady's Perform

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-The World say. OF
the Notwithstanding debut: "As an artist
she is entitled to the largest amount of sym.
pathy. She has bulfinch voice, not devoid
Of pleasing quality, but thin in tone, al
though fresh to immaturity, and very anna
flourish In delivery. She sang a cavatina
correctly, but with little spirit. Her low
notes were inaudibe in the middle Of the
hall, and the high notes, although pipingly
clear, were girlish and uncertain. Her trill
and her cadenzs showed that she IL not de-.
void of vocal culture, but the song as q
whole produced the impression that she was
an excellent parlor singer. On her recall
she sang Scudere's song, asleep On" and
phrased II with taste, but sang IL rather spir-
itlessly." At the conclusion whirlwinds of
applause arose from the hall and rolled
down from the gallery, and flowers began to
move up the center aisle. One superb bas-
ket represented coach and four. Volleys
Of braves came from the crowd in the rear of
the hall, mingled with indecorous cries of
"tally-ho." Then she swept of, and people
in the aisles began to move out. For ten
minutes there was . steady procession to-
wards the door, the crowd increasing in the
vestibule and on the walk. Congratulations
were exchanged by coachmen in waiting aud
admiration mingled with sympathy was ex-
pressed by all.
According to the accounts Of all critics,
Mrs. Hulskamp can be thus summed up:
"Her singing is quite good enough to assist
the digestion Of al indulgent parent for an
hour or SO after All elaborate dinner and gain
the commentator of q few indulgent friends,
bpt it can lay no claim to serious considera-
ton. In ths parler 1t might afford pleasure
TO kindly audiences in q concert room 1t
produces exactly the same effect as q recita-
ton by school gill at commencement"

THE Husbdndman says Montana people
are to a great extent returning to the use of
Montana -four. Last year the bulk of Mon
TINA grain was frost bitten and the -four in
ferior. This year 1t is as good as was ever
made from soft wheat, and the bread from it
Is not so dry or tough as from Dakota or
Minnesota -four. Even many of those who
use the imported -four now use Montana
-four with it to overcome these objections
Although not quite so white, it is claimed to
be better for all purposes than the imported
nour and Is considerable cheaper. For bot
biscuit, pies, and cakes, the Husbdndnan
says Montana -four is superior to any other
brand. 1t believes the wheat growing in
dustry which was depressed by the importing
mania Is revived for good, aud that with
perhaps fourth of the crop grown of hard
wheat Montana will supply her own markets.
