EsTEY ORGAN COMPANY.

The display of organs and pianos in the
Estey Organ cOmpany's building was the
finest ever made at the Valley Fair 1t
was in charge of c. w. Stewart, and was
the centre of attraction for musical people,
who found in the instruments shown all
that could be desired in artistic design and
finish, action, and quality of tone, The
exhibit consisted of four pianos of three
different designs, the most beautiful of
which was the cabinet grand, finished in
imported fancy burl butternut. The or
gans exhibited were five in number, all new
designs brought out since last year. The
new phonorium was used in place of an Or
chestra at the recent Claremont convention.
1t is an elegant double-manual, pedaled
organ, finished in antique oak. 1t is OF
church organ style, and, as played by Mrs.
Sherwin, showed that it was capable OF
great power, yet its pianissino tones were
of delightfully."- pure quality.

this service Albert is as reliable and
regular as clock work.
A few of our business men employ
Albert to bring them their mail, after
distribution in the post Office. In this
work he is prompt and careful and
faithful. He does this service for
mere pittance, and those whom he
serves, would not do without him.
1t is suggested that more of our
business men engage him. He is
Pest office attachment, neither it seems
could get along without the other.
No matter what the weather, or the
excitement or the circumstances of
the hour, Albert goes on his mission,
and can not be halted ncr turned in
his course. He takes the letters in
trusted to him, and delivers them, no
matter what may be happening.
Our citizens can do kindly act,
and themselves great accommoda-
tion by getting Albert to deliver their
letters, these disagreeable winter
evenings and those cold and stormy
wintrv days.

instance the knuckles are bare. while
in the latter they are covered by close
fitting skin gloves that, if anything,
render them more formidable as in.
struments of punishment than if they
were left naked.
As evidence of this fact, on the 18th
inst two "glove contests" occurred;
one in the Auditorium Club at New
Orleans, in which Andy Bowen, New
Orleans, light weight pugilist, was
knocked senseless in the Is round by
"Kid' Lavigne of Saginaw Mich.
Bowen never recovered consciousness,
and died the next morning.
Of course Lavigne is arrested,
charged with murder, and his seconds,
time keeper, and referee are made ac-
cessories.
The other event occurred in a club
house near Bladensburg, Nd, between
Jack Bolan and Ed Pierce. Thirty
six rounds were fought and the
referee decided "no contest" because
it was not knock out for either at
the hour set, for the end of the mill.
Pierce had bones broken in both
hands and showed other marks OF ter
rible punishment.
These exhibitions which only pan
der to the brutishness of man should
be efectually stopped.
1t should be declared felony to
engage in or offer to engage in any
such brutality, either as principal, ac
ressory or spectator, for it is more
brutal than the old bare knuckle
fight.

The public has heard deal of talk
about a proposition to disrupt Tam
many Hall by process of law. But
the proposition is hardly worthy of
serious consideration. Even the most
sensational of the anti-Tammany
papers do not deem it worthy of much
comment. The society was organized
III 1889, the year the constitution was
framed. Until the present generation
it was controlled by the best citizens
of New York and to it is due the pre-
servation of the constitution from the
encroachments of the party that want
ed government patterned after that
of England. It was one of the chief
factors in electing Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe and jackson. But when pol
itics became corrupt, not only of one
party but of both parties, and when
New York lost its distinctive Ameri-
can character, Tammany fell into
hands of spoilsmen. The New York
World in reviewing its history says
that the demoralization began when
Fernando Wood was mayor, from
1856 to 1858. Tweed came to the
front in 1866. and Tammany became
the center of municipal corruption,
and has grown worse, notwithstanding
a brief interval of better methods from
the time Tweed was overthrown to
the present. The World asserts that
there is no vice in the society; that it
has back of it over 100000 voters;
and that in proper hands may become
great and beneficient power. But
it must be recaptured from the politi-
cal bandits who have been holding it
for years.

Proposed Press Censor
ship.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

!
The Weadock bill, introduced into
congress last summer and now in the
hands of the committee or postoffices
and post roads, has excited the indig-
nation of the New York Sun, as it
should that of every citizen that CON-
prehends its full meaning. The bill
is designed to amend the section of the
statutes which defines second-class
mail matter by adding the following;
Any newspaper or other matter of
the second-class which advises, abets,
or suggests the commission of any
offense against any law of the United
States, or any state or territory, or any
country with which we are at peace,
shall be excluded from the mails.
The intent clearly is to prevent the
dissemination of Anarchistic rot and
other matter Of kindred sort, but all
that is commendabe in connection
with the measure stops short at the
intent The effect of such a law
would fall upon the entire press ofthe
country in the institution of a press
censorship that is as violative of the
constitution as it is repuguant to the
American spirit.
The people of this country are too
intelligent and too patriotic for gov
ernment censorship of the press to be
possible or in any way called for. The
Weadock bill proposes to accomplish
what is not needed and will never be
tolerated.
The wide distribution of ill digest
ed, loosely written theories as to labor
disputes and the relations between
labor and capital are doing far more
to degrade citizenship AID undermine
law than are the Anarchistic poison
aimed at in this proposed censorship.
If the aim were accomplished to the
letter little that is practical. would be
gained. There is small danger from
Anarchy in America. There is far
more danger from the class of timor-
Gus quacks who, in seeking to provide
against imaginary evils, would rob
the people of priced liberties.

Talmage on Heredity.

Now, the longer live the more l
believe in blond good blood, bad
blood, proud blood, humble blood,
honest blood, theivlng blood, heroic
and cowardly blood, writes th { Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. The tendency
may skip generation or two, but it
is sure to come out, as in little child
you sometimes see similarity to a
great grandfather whose picture hangs
on the wall. That the physical and
mental and moral qualities are inherit
able is patent to any one who keeps
his eyes opeu. The similarity is so
striking sometimes as to be amusing.
Great fam lilies, regal or literary, are
apt to have the characteristics all
down through the generations, and
what is more perceptible in such fam
lilies may be seen on a smaller scale in
all families. A thousand years have
no power to obliterate the difference.
The large lip of the house of Austria
is seen in all the descendants, and is
called the Hapsburg lip. The House
of Stuart always means in all genera
tions cruelty and bigotry and sensu
ality. Witness Queen of Scots. Wit
ness Charles l and Charles II. Wit
ness James and James II, and all
the others Of that imperial line.
Scotch blood means persistence
Dutch blood means cleanliness and
and good breeding. English blood
means reverence for the ancient.
Welsh blood means religiosity. Dan
ish blood means fondness for the sea.
Indian blood means roaming disposi- !
ton. Celtic blood means fervidity.
Roman blood means conquest.
The Jewish faculty for accumulation
you msy trace clear back to Abraham,
of whom the Bible says, "He was rich
in silver and gold and cattle" and to
Isaac and Jacob, who had the same
family characteristics. /

"The Swede."

Last Sunday was the 300th ami
versary of the birth of Gustavus Adol-
phus, Sweden's hero King. He lived
in the era of colonizing activity which
succeeded the era of discovery; in the
era of religious wars; and had be
lived to carry out contemplated
schemes Of colonization he might have
exerted as great an influence in Amer
ica as he did in Europe. His in
huepce would have been in favor of
religious tolerance, against slavery in
every form, and in favor of that per-
sonal worth which under discipline ac-
complished so much among his own
people and in his own army. German
historians Of the time bear witness to
the high character of the Swedish army
which moved into Germany in support
of Professionalism in the thirty years
war. The soldiers had something of
the spirit of the crusaders, animated
by the fierce zeal of CromweIl's men,
and strong in the faith of their leader.
Gustavus was not only great tacti-
clan and strategist, but he was fight
Or of battles in the Sc is, that Sh ,rm III
was, and at Nuremberg and other
points his personal effort and presence
was to his army what Sheridan's pres
ence was to the army at Win chester.
In his last battle at Lutzen his SOL
diers won victory after his death
under the strongest feeling that can
animate a soldier, that of affection for
a commander. 1t must be remember
ed that Gustavus -Adolphus in the
wars in Germany was matched against
Wallenstein, Pappenheim, and Tilly,
the great soldiers of Central Europe,
and, had it not been for his orderly
Of a disciplined army into
Germany, Professionalism might have
been overwhelmed. All Protestants are
in sympathy with the Swedes who
honor the memory of one of the great
est men of the seventeenth century.

A Model Postal Car.
The Bailey-Bissel.

! The finest Railway Postal Car that
ever went out of Columbus, came
down the Valley on its first trip yes
terday morning, with Clerk Bailey in
charge.
The new car is equipped with all
the latest suggestions of the most ex-
pericnced men in the service and is
not only model in all it's apportion-
ments but is a marvel in the taste and
beauty of its construction and finish
The railway service on the Hook
ing Valley is noted for the efficiency
of its Clerks, and the Buckeye Route
is to be complimented and congratu-
lated upon having the haudsome~t and
best posta, car in the service, leaving
Columbus.
Our friend and townsman, Gle rk
Bailey is we'll deserving of the distinct
ion of being placed first in charge of
the model car, and we congratulate
him upon the honor conferred.
Postmaster Green and others Of our
citizens inspected the car, a: "a dis
tance of not less than six feet from the
letters, and were courteously receiv-
ed by Cap. Bailey, supported and
sustained by the slightly envious
clerks, Pickering and Frost.
Green named the car, 'sBissal,"
which was amended by the convention
by prefxing Bailey" so this Postal
Palace on wheels, Bailey Bissel," left
our Queen City on its journey to the
River, bearing its missives of Christ
mas greetings, We hope, to the thous-
ands along the line, appropriate in
kind as the Car is in name, and as
acceptable to post Office pa rons as the
patronynies, ''Bailey-Lissel."
