DUTCHESS COUNTY SHOCKED.
An Exhibition or DancinE Given by Nauteh
Girls at the County Fair.

P~oUGHKEEPsIE, Sept. 2s.-Nothing has oc-
CURED in years 10 shock the moral sense of this
community to such an extent as the exhibition
of dancing given by alleged Nautch girls at the
Dutchess county fair this week. 1t Is almost
the sole topic of conversation in this city and
among the farmers OF this and adjoining coun-
ties who attended the exhibition. The Pough-
keepsie Neirs- Press says this morning:
THE introduction OF the Nauch dancing
girls at the Duchess county fair is a disgrace to
the fair and TO everybody who Is in any way re-
spOnsible for the outrage upon public and pri-
vate decency. We never supposed that tho
Duchess County Agricultural Society would so
misunderstood the people of Duchess county as
10 treat them 10 a revolving exhibition Of shock
ing immOdesty and horrible indecency. This
feature of the exhibition Is simply too impure
and too terribly immoral to be described in any
respectable newspaper"
The POughkeepsie Eagle says:
THE most disgusting and disreputable side
show that has ever been allowed 10 exhibit at
the Dutchess county fair Is the dance which Is
given by these Nautch girls. Men only are
allowed To go inside Of the tent. and the
the Dutchess County Agriculture Society
should be persuaded To allow such a lot Of people
10 90 through such "a performance on the
grounds"
Nothing has occurred in years 20 stir up such
universal and vigorous condemnation as this
dance. People do not propose TO drop the sub
ject with the CLOSE OF the fair. and an organiZa-
Of the scandal in the future and perhaps To pun
ish those who have perpetrated this recent Of
fence against public decency; 49,,

ALBANY. Sept. 2s.-The following Is the adj
dress to the people signed by the Republican
delegates to the Constitutional Convention:
THE delegates of the people, In convention
assembled to revise and amend the Constitution
OF the State. present TO the people a revised and
amended Constitution of fifteen articles. In
this instrument we have retained the general
framework and substance OF the existing Con-
s~titution, and have sought only to make such
notifications as experience has shown TO be de-
~siraDle, without venturlng upon undue expert
ments. Out OF more than 400 amendments pro-
posed and considered we have adopted thirty
one, besides striking out obsolete matter. The
main features which we propose are as follows;
II. We renew the recommendation OF the Con-
vention OF 1867 providing for progress in agri-
culture by requiring general laws giving the
right OF drainage across adjoining lands
-. We seek TO separate In the larger cities
municipal elections from State and national
elections. TO the end that the business affairs OF
our great municipal corporations may be man
aged upon their OWL merits, uncontrolled by ma
tiOnAl and State politics, and to the end also
that the great issues Of national and State poll
tics may be determined upon their merits, free
from the disturbing and often demOralizing effect
OF local contests For this purpose IL has been
necessary, by a series OF amendments. to rear
range the terms OF once and times OF elections
OF the Governor, State officers, Senators, and
municipal officers 50 that the elections for State
officers will occur on the even numbered years
aud the elections for municipal onicers on the
odd numbered years.

A PECULIAR decision has been

A PECULIAR decision has been
rendered by Judge Catlin of the
Superior Court of California. Some
time ago the Sacramento Bee pub
lished the news of a man being ar
rested on the charge of rape. The
case was tried, and the man found
not guilty. He had told the Bee he
was innocent before the trial and
his story was published also The
Bee only gave the news of his ar
rest, ETC., and now Judge Catlin
gives verdict against the Bee for
$500. There is no law or justice in
this decision, and it will no doubt
be reversed. The press is muzzled
enough now without any such de-
cision, which would give criminals
another point in the game-that of
silencing the press against their
actions.

THE edition of the advertiser Re-
porter, issued by the Publishers
Commercial Union, of Chicago and
New York, is a work that every
newspaper in the land should have.
1t gives the standing of every ad-
vertiser in the country, and helps
publishers from being bilked out of
many dollars by fake advertisers.
The Union also makes collections,
and when it fails to get your money
for you, you may be sure it is a
dead loss.
