FISTS AND REVOLVERS.

We regret to observe that the case in
which two colonels of Columbus, o., fell
into an alteration and resorted to knock
down, calls forth the enthusiastic approba-
tion of the Chicago Herald, because the
coIonels discarded the revolver and resorted
to what the Herald calls the STANDARD
American method" of fsticufs. This indi-
Gates deplorable ignorance that the prac-
tice of punching your opponents head is
servile imitation of British methods. So
far from being the standard of this coun-
try" it is the standard of John Bull. We
should be panied to regard the esteemed
Herald as a British emissary in disguise;
but when it seeks to suppIant the truly
native idea of the revolver with the imported
notions OF the prize ring, it subjects itself to
the gravest suspicious. AS to its notion
that fsticuffs are less dangerous than re-
volvers, that is a wholly barren ideality. In
She hands of Columbus colonels the revolver

THE CENSUS AND THE PRIMARIES.

The action taken by meeting of Repub-
lican candidates for various positions in ad-
vancing the date for the primaries one week
was wholly unexceptionable; and with the
agreement of all the candidates the change
can be made without the slightest dissent on
the part of the general public. Neverthe-
less, the reason why the change is made has
some novel points of view.
The suggestion was that of Census Super
visor Oliver, who represented, according to
the report, that the census enumerators
would probably take an interest in the
primaries, and that therefore the dates first
fixed might interfere with the proper taking
of the census. The picture which a lively
Imagination can produce upon this sugges-
tioD, of the United States Government
psralyzed in its attempt to obtain full
census of these important cities because the
census enumerators might be so busy with
the primaries that they would neglect the
job of enumerating is SO alarming that we
hasten to approve of Mr.. divers timely
caution in preventing such a conflict of
political functions.
But that danger can hardly fail to arouse
q lively curiosity as to the reason why the
citizens who are to travel from house to
house, and inquire as to the ages and chronic
diseases of the inhabitants thereof, will be
so wrapped up in the primaries that they
cannot attend to their official ana sal aried
duties. We hope that iron manufacturers
and workers will take an interest in the
primaries; yet if the mill-owuers and the
Amalgamated Association do not fall out by
the way the primaries are not likely to stop
the mills. 1t is intimated that fremen and
policemen are likely to interest themselves
in such events; but we hope that fires will
still be put out and disorderly characters
pulled in where they become too obstreper-
Gus.
Nevertheless, if there is any danger of the
development OF this conflict of duties by the
census enumerators, it is wise precaution
to guard against It. Mr.. divers care that
the primaries shall not spoil the census is
much to be approved.

FARMERS AND THE ROADS.
Profits of Greene County Agriculture Now

Profits OF Greene County Agriculture Now
and in Former Years.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
viii you allow me word of explanation in
regard to an interview with Mr.. Stofel, of your
road exploring party? was asked IL the
number of mortgages was increasing or dimin-
ishing. and said that while the business OF
building and loan association here. placing
small loans in the stockholders hands on town
property for the improvement of the same,
helped to keep up the number Of mortgages,
1 thought the number of MORTGAGES ano
amounts given on farms in the last two or three
years was less than IN the preceding time OF the
same length, and count. in the short time l
had. of mortgages under some Of the letters Oh
our index, showed that the number was less IN
1SSS-S9 than in 18S8-87, but did not give MIN
the figures for publication.
1 also stated to him that an increase OF
mortgages was not always proof Of an increase
of Indebtedness, as some farmers gave mort
cages to secure loans to take up commercial
paper or judgments that had been
given for purchase money for farms or addl-
tions to their farms. This. thought. was the
case with most of the mortgages given few
years back to the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York. but that few of them
were perhaps for money borrowed for specula-
tions in the West. in the cattle business, and
that these had. some of them, proved disas-
trous. also claimed that mortgages were not
always proof Of iunthriftiness, as some farmer,
getting the home paid for would buy some
more land, and as he could get a loan for longer
time of money lenders than his neighbor who
sold to him, and who wanted his money to pur-
chase again, would give him, he borrowed and
gave a mortgage.

small scale, along with other pursuits did not
claim to be a practical farmer. and would
rather he would see our commissioners Sheriff
or Treasurer, all of whom were practical farm
ers; but from a little experience and
some observation, 1 was convinced that
careful farming in connection with stock
raising" while it did not pay as well now as at
one time, still with capital does pay. he said
I took the same view of it that the Greene
county farmers do, as far as he had seen them.
He said that in other counties where he
thought 1t would be better, they did not take
so CHEEKY a view of it, but complained of the
high prices of machinery. etc. 1spoke OF our
farmers as conservative and careful and
thought the tendency was to not 60 IN debt as
much for more land as formerly, as farming
did not pay so well. that it could be made as
profitable on borrowed capital, or as easy to
pay for land from the profits OF it as 1t was dur
ing good times and advancing prices. From
what had heard 1 said l understood our
farmers to claim that they could not AFFORD to
farm without machinery now.

A sEANCE OF MUSIC.
The Allegheny Association Gives Another
Delightful Entertaiumenr-A Faultless
Programme by First Glass Performers

Delightful Entertainment-A Faultless
Programme by First Glass Performers
Weddings and Other Society Affairs.
The Allegheny Musical Association is very
popular, judging from the cultured audience
that filled Carnegie Music Hall last evening to
listen to their concert. The programme opened
with a cantata, "The Feast of Adonis," by
Adolf Jensen, rendered by the chorus
and Miss Grace Miller, first soprano,
Miss Emma White second Soprano and Miss
Elsie O'Neil, contralto. When the applause
subsidized Mr.. Clarence Eddy made his appear
ance, and, seating himself at the organ per-
formed the extremely difficult and very popu-
lar "Tocatta in F MAJOR by Bach, in which
followed in "Gavutte in F MAJOR by Martini.
and concluded with "Scherzo Symphonique''
by Guilmaut. The gentleman rendered for the
thusiasm
Mrs. Helen T. Boice Hunsicker member of
the Bethlehem Church choir of Philadelphia,
then rendered to the delight of her listeners,
Il Love Thee" by Hope Temple and THE
Farmer and the Dove" by lambert. Miss Hat
tie Z. McLain, member of Edward Evert
Hales church in Boston, next rendered "Nobil
Signor." and responded to hearty encore with
lullaby song. Mr.. Eddy resumed his seat at
the organ, and began theme by Thiele, with
variations, and finale. 1t soon became evident
that something was wrong with the organ and
the great organist gave up in despair at the
same time informing the audience that he was
compelled to desist on account of insufficient
water pressure. An investigation of the inner
most recesses of the magnificent musical struc-
ture. however, proved that the trouble all re-
suited from negligent chain whose duty it
was to connect the motor with the bellows, and
which had deserted its post or pulley.
The time spent IN searching for the defect
was filled in by the chorus. Mr.. Eddy again
took possession of the keyboard and success
fully rendered his selection. Miss Miller and
the chorus then sang Daughter of Error" by
Bishop, and 'The Sea Hath Its Pearls" by
Pinsuti, followed by Overture to Oberon,"
Weber, by Mr.. Eddy. THE Silent Rose" by
Victor Herbert, and Hearts Delight" by w.
w. Gllchrist were sung by Mrs. Hunsicker,
who who further augumented her popularity
with those selections Mr.. Eddy then
performed Faust's "Fantasie," by Gounod

A Tax to Build National Roads.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
am sorry you did not start your road enter
prise a month earlier. Two weeks Of fair
weather makes great improvement on mud
roads, and your expedition cannot now realize
anything like the condition Of our roads in
February and March.
MY object in writing is to suggest national
income tax, the entire amount to be expended
on the roads under Government supervision.
A tax on all incomes over $4,000; the amount
collected in each State to be expended In that
State. Good roads will be found greater civil
izers than public libraries.
There is no mistake about it, our farmers, as
a rule, are too poor to build such roads as we
should have. But for the farmers there would
be no income to tax. There is there can be, no
more righteous tax than that on incomes.
If our system of government cannot secure
to the people first-class public roads it is a
failure. INDEX.

MATCHED THE BRIDES BEAUTY,
Flowers in Profusion< at the Oudry. Davis
Wedding.


Symbolic of the brides beauty and modesty
were the violets which were used in such pro-
fusion at the wedding of Miss Eugenia Oudry
and Rev. John Proctor Davis last evening. 1t
was home wedding, and the lovely residence
of Mrs. Catherine Oudry. the BRIDES mother,
was very beautifully decorated and festooned
for the occasion. The bride and groom were
unattended. with the exception of tiny
flower girl, Edla Steele, who in q charming
little Kate Greenaway gown of soft white
silk, with purple violet wreath upon
her flowing hair and cluster of the same fra
grant flower in her hand, preceded them in en-
tering the drawing room. White satin was the
material in which the petite bride was arrayed,
and wreath of white violets confined the
bridal veil which completely enveloped her
slight figure. Volets we're also used in the
drapings of the gown and composed the bridal
bouquet.
The grooln's father, Rev. d. K Davis. of
Wooster O., performed the ceremony, which
was witnessed by 100 guests representing the
wealth and fashion of the city. An elaborate
repast was served by Kennedy at the conclu-
sion of the service, and good wishes and con-
gratulations we're offered the young people,
who departed for their future home at Keene.

She said that when she signed the assignment
she did not understand the paper, that her in

greatly in excess of the inventory furnished Dy

frauded her. The firm of Campbell & Campbell
was formed in 1878. 1t was well-known in
