A brutal dog fight took place last
night Just outside the State line, between
a dog from Chester and one from this
city. The stakes, which were $500, were
won by the dog from Chester. There was
a number of sp ,rts from this city present,
and considerable money changed hands
on the result. Both dogs were badly torn
up, but the human brutes present seemed
TO enjoy their suflerings.

THE CHICAGO TARIFF CONVENTION.

The convention of tariff reformers which
met at Chicago on Tuesday, and continued
In session until Thursday evening, was,
so far rs members and responsibility of
attendance were concerned, a success quite
beyond the anticipation Of Its projectors.
Fully four hundred delegates were pres
ent, representing nearly every state In the
Union, and including such we'll known
men rs Henry George, Thos. G. Sherman,
J. Sterling Morton, Horace White. &. L..
Houghton, William T. Croasdale, Clinton
X. Kurdish, j. X. G. Forrest, &c, &c, In
"A word, II was u convention of men, all Of
whom have become more or less proficient
In the treatment of economic questions,
ana WAS, therefore, pre-eminently "a con-
ventlon of character and brains"
The body was I'm no sense party con
vention, nor can any political party rightly
claim credit or be held responsible for Its
utterances. Among them were out-and. out
free traders like Henry George and Thos.
Sherman, oppose to tariff taxation In any
form but I'm favor of single land tax, or
"the ConfscatiOn of rents" as George calls
| II. There were others who believed in the
old Henry Clay doctrine of temporary
tariff protection In aid OF infant industries,
others who still favored the will o'the wisp
doctrine of incidental protection, and
others-clearly the majority-who favored
taxation for revenue only, scouting taxation
| for protection In whatever form as sheer
robbery.
The adoption of formal platform by
such a convention would have been out Of
place. Ii had met for an interchange of
views among large body of men hailing
from All quarters of the land, dominated
by the most divergent interests, and beyond
a cordial and tolerant hearing of these
views, expressed by many In carefully pre-
pared essays, prevailed by deep and ma
tuled thought, aud giving these thoughts
to the world, the convention had no lakes
to grind"
There were, however, two points ON
which the whole body seemed TO be cor
daily agreed, and these were embodied in
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted;
|. We hold that IL Is the natural right of
every man to freely exchange his labor or
the product of -his labor 10 the best advan-
tage. We declare ourselves unalterahly OPP
posed 10 the so'Called protective system,
and demand the prompt abrogstlon of all
protective features from the tariff,
9. We honor President Cleveland for
his brave, manly, and statesmanlike
course in making tariff reform the issue
before the people; we see In the Increased
popular majority which that issue won for
for him and the increase of his vote In the
industrial Centers assurance OF the early
triumph Of the peoples cause" and We
pledge ourselves 10 increased agitation un-
Ill that triumph Is won.
A resolution was also adopted providing
for the appointment of a committee of
nine 10 prepare an address 10 the people of
the United Sites, and TO perfect plans for
the propagation of the principles an
nounced in the first resolution. OF this
committee Horace White was made chair

IN MEMoRIUM OF MRS. PARa.

Mrs Elsie Armstrong Parr was woman
of uncommon intellectual endowment, and
diligently endeavored to cultivate her pow
ers by extensive reading, and by thoughtful
application of her mind to the duties of her
home and family. With an unusual cast of
originality she developed a personality posi-
tive and influential, which distinguished her
in a peculiar manner among her family and
friends. Never forgetful of her relation as
a wife and mother it was ever her care to
bring to it the best spirit and the best
thought she could know. Keenly alive to
whatever promised good TO her family and
herself she critically examined and tested, in
the best light she had, all those social, NOR
al and religious notions, ideas, and faiths
which promise 90 much, and ohentimes
yield so little TO the human life. ShesDew
that the real relations Of life here were true,
and that they might be honorable and hap
py. and she sought to find in them the laws
of duty and the sources of real felicity.
Faithful from first 10 last in these, turn
ing neither to the right nor to the left, she
presented a type of womanhood at once,
wise, dignified and lovable. Skeptical of all
! religious creeds, and keeUly sensible of all
| holloeness and insutficiency of much tina, is
called religion, she stood sternly aloof from
ecclesiastical pretentious and fellowships,
and fearlessly but sincerely and reverently
questioned the truth of the Church's dogma,
! tism.
She saw. perhaps not clearly and fully,
! but nevertheless assuredly, that if there be
any true religion at all, and any rational
enjoyment of it, it must be found in the
powers and virtues of the human life itself;
it must be in the spirit Of all truth and good
| ness.
To her there were no idols. Not even the
Bible itself was an unquestionable, undenis-
able, infalible book She had no supersti-
tious reverence for it simply because it is
claimed to be Gods complete, perfect, and
unerring revelation of Himself and HIS truth.
| With no desire to underrate it's value TO
mankind, but with no intention or wish to
accept the fusom preten'ions of some men
representing it, she priced it solely for the
truth il contained, and for what of light and
helpfulness it brought to the veritable hui
man life
In her home Mrs. Parr held an influential
position. She was not only loved but was
also respected by her family. She was wise,
constant. kind, affahle, hospitable, and dig
nifed. Whatever faults she had are hidden
now in the superior light of her virtues. She
RESTS in peace and the life she lived here,
the faiths that held her to truth. virtue and
the nobility Of womanhoOd, give promise OF
the higher life to be. A FRIEND.

Pennsylvania gave Harrison and Pros
lection" 79,45S plurality. Interpreting
this vote on the basis of prediction
speeches, Pennsylvania is thoroughly
American, " soli1 for" American markets
for Americans. Since the election, how.
ever, 1t appears that Pennsylvania Is for
Pennsylvania first, last and all the time. "
Believing, as no doubt they do, that If pro
lection is good for the nation 1t should be
good for the state, her Legislators, on al
most the first day of the session, began an
attack on meats not raised In the state by
introducing bin TO Inspect dressed
meats" and prohibit the sale of "unin-
spected or unapproved dressed meats of
the West In that state. The bill has not
become law, we believe, but the action
of Pennsylvania is but repetition of the
various similar attempts 10y the states of
the East 10 break down the trade In West
ern dressed meats for the benefit of their
local farmers. Under the guise of sanitary
inter state trade that has for It's object the
breaking down of the meat trade of the
West for the benefit of the local butchers,

tionists millennium, when every village OF

how would the fame-s of Illinois manage It

to prepare his decision in the Milligau
case; aud singularly enough, perhaps, both

lost The county claimed from 500, 900 to
$4,000 as due from Milligan; while, on
the other hand, Miiligan claimed his
$4,000 note, with interest,-money which
he loaned the county on one of its Illegal
notes-and about $4,000 due on the last
half year of his term of office. He gets a
judgment for less than $4,000. Brer MILL
gan will PROBABLY not loan a county money

after all, the decision is as near vlndlca-
ton of Milligan's position as the earnings
and receipts of his office would warrant.

ings, Mr.. Milligan should receive judgment
against the county for $l2,67939, if the
earnings of his office had been sufficient, but
the earnings of the office, during Mr. Mill
CAMS term, he found to have been but $780,
337 80, and that he had received, and now
held against his earnings, $3l, 44bO leav-
ing q balance due him of $l,S9l.S9, for
which the Court entered judgment.
THE CASE.
VIM. r. Milligan was elected sheriff in the
fall of 1882, by an overwL Ginning majority,
and during his occupancy of the sherltfs Of
fee, as disnterested judge puts it. " We
didn't have to grope around after deputy
when we wanted to use one. IL galoot
made disturbance he would be thrown out.
We do nearly all the throwing ourself now y
At the expiration of his term OF office, the
investigating committee was sprung, and,
with others, he was indicted for Withholding
public money, a sort of soft term for EN-
bezzement He had never had settlement
Oh MS lhSt SiA "Oih, anu iHA''"S -
an effort to make a settlement, he sued the
county for $50 10000. The County Board
then sued him for all there was in sight and
considerable unseen cash. He. claimed fees
for services performed and the board de
sired to allow him practically nothing but
his salary, n stated amount for travelling ex-
peuses, and deputy hire. The case dragged
along until last summer, when it was sub
mitted to Judge Stipp. Illness and business
in the courts of other counties delayed his
decision several months, and dates having
been made for its decision, but each being
postponed.
Had MIR. Milligan secured the charges
claimed, which were disallowed, and the
balance which the amount of earnings would
not cover. his judgment would have been
over $50, 900. Had the county recovered al
it claimed, it would have secured judg'
ment for 500, 900, or all that Mr.. Alilligar
received as salary and deputy hire, AMI
500, 900 additional. This would have been
nice-for the county, but it would have been
bard on Milligan.
Both sides are seemingly satisfied
with the result, and Judge Stipp speaking
of the decision, said that it may not have
been according tic the strictest technicalities
of law, but it was an honest decision and
that was what he intended TO give.
