OFF TO MIMIC WAR.

The Eighteenth Regiment of the State
National Guard left the city last night for
Mount Gretna, where it will go into camp.
The regiment made remarkably fine show
ing, and probably it never was in such
generally good condition before. They will
compare favorably with any volunteer
troops in the service. 1t Is to be hoped that
they will profit greatly by their stay in
camp. They will be under canvass with de-
tachments from the regular army, and will
have the advantage OF joint drills. The
rest of the city's national guards will follow
the Eighteenth tomorrow. The DISPATCH
wishes them a pleasant and profitable ex-
perience in the tented field.

BYNuM IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
He Has Lively Tilt with Representative
Cnunou, of Illinois.

CnnnOu, OIL
WASHINGTON, July 17.-In the House to-day
Mr.. Bynum. of Indiana, in the course of some
brief remarks read from the manuscript Of
the official reporters Of the record the report of
the recent colloquy between Mr.. Cannon and
Mr.. Houk, in which they referred to each other
as nusances. This reference was omitted
from the record, and alluding to the omission,
Mr.. Bynum quoted from a speech made by Mr..
Cannon during the Fiftieth Congress depre-
eating mutilation of the record.
Mr.. Cannon said that during the colloquy re-
ferred to in the heat of debate he (Cannon)
and the gentleman from Tennessee (Houk)
had said things which they would not have
said in cooler moment. But that coloquy
had been personal to themselves. and from
time immemorial personal matters Of that kind
had been, cn agreement between the gentle
men, left out of the record. The gentleman
from Tennessee and himself had met, as gen.
tlemen should meet, after their blood had
cooled little. They had agreed that 1t was
due to themselves and to the esteem which
they entertained for each other to leave out Of
the record the purely personal matter. This
had been done thousand times, and, SO far as
he knew, heretofore no man questioned the
right on one hand or the propriety on the other.
1t had remained for the gentleman from
Indiana to rise in his seat and put in
the record what had been stricken there by
dSIctuenb DeLWeen Gne Two gentlemen CON-
cerned. In justification for this the gentleman
turned back to the record of the last Congress
and read where he (Cannon) protested against
mutilation of the record. He recollected the
circumstances well. It was a controversy pc
tween the gentleman from Indiana (Bynum)
and himself. The gentleman had not come 70
him, and agreed to strike out what nad peen
said, but had struck it ont without consutar
tion. He (Cannon) was gratiied to Deileve
that there was no Representative on elther
side of the House. save alone the gentleman
from Indiana, who had the heart on the one
hand, or the malignancy on the other, to seek
to obtrude himself where, under the parlia-
mentary usage Of the House, he did not Deiong.
IApplause on Republican side.
Mr.. Bynum said that the gentleman was mis-
taken in regard to the controversy between
them at the last Congress. He (Bynum) had
not kept anything out of the record, but bad
made one of his statements more specihc. 30
far as the gentleman's denunciation was con-
cerned, the gentleman had a perfect privilege
and right TO utter there. tRepublican hisses
Mr.. Cannon (deprecatingly)-1 beg the gal
liant gentleman from Indiana not to hurt me
outside of the House. [Laughter.1

Heard with Grent Interest In More Than
One Church In Snn francisco.
From the San Francisco Alta
1t is said that Pattison and Delameter, the
Democratic and Republican candidates for the
Governorship in Pennsylvania, will jointly
discuss public issues before the people. This
is good old Southern and Western custom
that should be revived all over the county.
1t tends to good temper in candidates and their
partisans. and is the best way in which to show
the mettle Of men who are asking for such an
office.
Mr.. Pattison is a well-trained speaker, aud
can preach a sermon just asswell as he can
make speech. When be was in this city he
spoke in more than one church and was heard
with very great interest. 1t is not generally
known that the Democrats have a deal of
preaching talent in public life. Senator Col
quit is a fine preacher. and his colleague, Sem
ator Brown. has been known to fill Baptist
pulpit acceptably.

of School Commissioners of the city of Indian.
apolis, in which the Court was asked to issue a
mandate requiring the board to have German
taught in the lower grades of the public
schools. Judge Rowland holds that German
must be taught; that the School Commissioners
have no Discretionary powers in the premises,
and therefore cannot abolish the teaching of
the languages in any Of the lower grades Of
the public schools.
After dwelling At length upon the legal
points involved Judge Rowland issues the
mandate asked for. Charles w. Smith, the at
torney for the School Board. says he will rec
ommend that the case be appealed. The steps
to be taken will not be agreed upon until after
members of the Board have had a conference.
The Germans who employed counsel to prose-
cute the suit are, of course. elated over the
decision. They say they will follow the case to
the Supreme Court in case it is appealed.

pIomncy Down the Combine.
CHICAGO July IA statement was pub
lished some weeks ago that a trust had been
formed on the Georgia watermelon crop. The
melons were shipped to accredited agents in
all of the large Northern cities to be sold
wholesale by auction. The plan did not suit
the ideas of the local dealers in this city, and
they quietly formed counter combination.
Accordingly when the first Georgia melons
were put up for sale there was only one bid
a wickedly low one-for the entire lot, and the
melons had to go at that
Then the purchaser divided up the shipment
with his fellow conspiratOrs and they charged
full prices to the small dealers and the public,
thereby making immense profits. The plan
was adopted elsewhere, with the inevitable re-
suit, the smashing of the Melon Trust. Georgia
melons are now on free market with two
weeks to run,
