JUSTICE is SWIFT.

Under Englands rule, punishment is
meted out to criminals and offenders with
swiftness that is surprising to Americans,
who are accustomed to the frequent post
ponements and delays in the courts of some
of the States The latest instance of the
promptness of English justice is the exc
cution of the Manipuri Princes who were
concerned in the murder of English Off
GERS in March last
Since March the offenders have been
tried and convicted by the military
court; an appeal was taken to the Viceroy
and the finding and sentence of the court
was sustained, and now the sentence has
been carried into effect The fact that the
criminals were high in rank made no diff
ference and could not procure so long de-
lay as is granted to an ordinary petit-Iar-
ceniSt in many of the courts of the United
States

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBURG, FRIDAY, AUGUST IA, lss
No DoDGING ALLOWED.

1t is only two years ago since the Demo-
Gratis predicted a universal increase of
prices on account of the tariff Since then
the Mckinley bill has gone into effect and
has been in operation ten months. The
Democrats are now diligently trying to
ind something which has increased in
price on account of the tariff, and which will
give them a chance in the Ohio campaign
TO say Il told you So" They feel that
they must verify their prediction or else
stand convicted before the people as false
prophets.
What are the things that are dearer now
than tel months ago? This is the ques-
ton that has to be answered by Mr.. Camp
bell in his campaign, and he has a hard
conundrum to elucidate TO the satisfaction
of the voters. The price of clothing has
not advanced in the stores; most articles to
Ue found in hardware shops are cheaper;
Jrygoods are selling at reduced prices;
hats and underwear are less expensive
than they We're, and these remarks might
with truth be applied to almost every ar
tiele manufactured.
The fact is that the Democrats will be
forced to make this campaign one of false
hood, or else dodge the issues. But
Major Mckinley does not intend that
there shall be any dodging. He has, thus
early in the battle, at every opportunity
presented, stated clearly and eoncisely the
exact effects of the new tariff, and it is
evident that neither he nor the other Re
publican leaders intend that there shall
he any evasion Oh the part of Mr. Camp
bell or his aides. If they cannot meet the
issue fairly and squarely they might as
well give up all hope of securing even a
respectable minority vote at the coming
election in Ohio.

pie in the big amphitheater here this after

music. DR.. II. R. Palmer, of New York, led
a chorus OF 900 voices, with the great organ,
piano, and brass band Accomplishments, and
the grove resounded with sweet sounds.
Miss Decca sang brilliant cavatina from
"Linda di Chamounix, :" which displayed the
perfect tiexibility of her voice, and the rich
ness and symmetry of her notes. There
were four recalls and for an Nencore, she
sang "The Last Rose of Summer" The
great amphitheater was filled with thou
sands of people, and men found refuge by
climbing into the rafters. Special trains
brought people from New York, Ohio, Penn

bilt lines occupied seats just off the stage

audience in giving the prima donna the
Chautauqua salute, which was one of the
most enthusiastic ever given here. She
then sang the Dolero from the "Sicilian YES

The marvellous execution with which she
passed from an aria to the simplest ballad
simply captiyated Chautauquans, and some
of the older musicians tonight say Miss
Decca's singing, In one selection at least re-
called the sweetness and sympathy of Jennie
Lind. Never before in the history of Chau-
tauqua has singer been given such Il

EIGHT OUT OF SEVEN.
How Counterfeiter Cleared Twenty Dol
lars by Fasting.

NniCdRO HERALD
Captain Porter, of the secret service, came
into possession of q new counterfeit yester-
day. 1t was O $50 bill made of patches from
seven different notes of the same denomina-
tlon. The seven pieces were skillfully
patched together with strips of court plas-
ter, but they constituted whole bill which
appeared perfectly good. Any mutilated
bill is redeemed at sub-treasury, pro-
Vided three-fifths of the bill is presented.
The maker of this note therefore worked q
very neat scheme by taking seven $50 bills
and tearing enough from each to make an
other bills
The mutilated notes being redeemable, he
cashed them for good notes ut the sub-treas-
ury, and, taking the portions he had torn
on, he made very presentable $50 bill. The
numbers in each corner were different,
but the note in all other respects, even
upon close investigation, appears good
Captain Porter in endeavOring to trace the
bill to its maker found that it had been paid
into the sub treasury by = postmaster. The
latter had received it from woman who
had taken it in change for 500 bill at a
large business house in this city. The firm
was unable to trace it to any of its Gus
toners aud the search was abandoned.

The Music Of the Spheres.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
What is meant by "the music of the
spheres2" VIC.
SEWICKLEY, August Ii.
tPythagoras, the Greek philosopher, no.
ticed that different lengths of string or cord,
when drawn taut produced different tones
He thereupon evolved the ingeniously fanci-
full theory that, as the planets were at differ
ent distances from the sun, they must pro-
duce different tones as they circled through
space. Seven planets were known to the
ancients, and Pythagoras conceived that
seven tones and no more, must be at the
foundation of all music. He thereupon con-
cluded that music was an exact science in
the same sense as arithmetic or geometry,
and that its origin was in the sounds pro-
duced by the planets, which he denominated
the Emusic of the spheres"

so encouraging that the adyissbility of in-
cluding this subject in every school
course should be seriously considered.
Habits formed while young cling to man
through life. The growing youth, there
fore, ought to be made to form the
habit of politeness; then in future years
foreigners may have less to cavil at in de-
scribing their visits to this land of the free.
