Pittsburg Butchers Mt Cincinnati.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
T. One of the great features Of the National
Butchers Protective Association Convention
in Cincinnati was the splendid representation
of Pittsburg. The delegates from that city
came to Cincinnati via the packet st. Lawrence
and had a most delightful time. They were
accompanied by the Allegheny Cornet Band
and kept the trip one continuous round of
pleasure. At every landing place that the boat
stopped at the band played popular air and
hundreds of residents locked to the wharves
to hear the excellent music, applauding most
enthusiastically. Dancing was enjoyed by
those on board and the go Pennsylvanians
could not have had more iovial entertain
ment.
And all of it was due to J. F. BeiIstein, the
President of the Pittsburg Association. He
came all the way to Cincinnati. made all the
arrangements and handled the entire affair
most effectively. 1t was indeed rare treat,
for everything that body and soul could wish
for could be had.
Lovely weather assisted in enhancing the
gayeties of the ride and the tourists landed in
Cincinnati Monday very happy crowd. They
marched TO the Grand Hotel and were the
most formidable body that attended the great
Association gathering. L.

consciences TO compel them to such ipjudi-
cious truth-speaking.
Itwould be happy thing for Germany and
other sections of the European military
camp if the rulers and taskmasters, as we'll
as the ruled, were to act upon their know
ledge that war is always q crime against the
victors and the vanquished. But not all
the people by good deal are convinced of
the folly and sin of military ambition; and
the rulers for the most part are well aware
that the army is only one OF many pestilen-
tial humbugs upon which their thrones rest.
Tear away from the peoples eyes the mill
tary fction and they will see too clearly
that they can dispense with such expensive
luXuries as rulers by divine right, heredi-
tary legislators and dominant classes in gen.
eral.

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ,
was weary and Ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the ivory keys.
knew not what was playing,
Or what was dreaming then;
But L struck one chord of music,
Like the sound of great Amen!
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an ANGELS psalm,
And IL lay on my fevered spirit
With a touch of infinite calm;
1t quieted pain and sorrow
Like love overcoming strife,
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perpIexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
As If it were 10th to cease.
Ihave sought, but seek IL vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
That came from The soul Of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be that deaths bright angel
VIII speak In that chord again
It may be that only In heaven
IshaH hear that grand Amen.

THE New York papers are busily engaged

"was to built by the entire country and not by

matter was put by the New York press when
the request was made for the interment of the

erect a monument there which should preserve

THE esteemed New York Herald. in fit

The esteemed New York Herald, in a fit
of self-appreciation which overcomes its innate
modesty, asserts: 1--WE have convictions as
tough as wrought steel, and stand by them in
the heaviest thunderstorm that ever flung its
bolts" The mixture of metaphor suggests the
obvious wisdom of departing from that
course. The man who stands by wrought steel
in thunder storm, does not exhibit that judg-
ment which should characterize the conductor
of a great organ of public opinion. 1t is prob
able that when the thunderstorm comes our
contemporary will appreciate the virtue of dis
cretion and get as far away from its wrought
steel convictions as it possibly can.
