Several of the leaders in the contest
for the EVENING GAZETTE's piano have
called upon us and requested that we
return to the original plan of dating the
coupons, in order that each contestant
. some knowledge of the

strength of the other.
Upon consideration we have decided
to comply with their wishes, and will
on April 6th next, commence and date
“the ballots each day as was done at. the
opening of the contest, allowing one
"week in which to deposit them.
We have set the date for the sixth of

have ample time in which to hand in
‘the ballots now out. Alter that time

Should Be Investigated.
"According to the report of the con-
‘rstable Who seized the when of Mrs.
illease, the Kansas stateswoman, to
secure a dry goods bill of $51, that re-
ceptacle contained “copies of her lec-
tture, a package of’hair pins. some face
powder and paint and a curling iron.”
Jill-he report of this constable should be

yery wellthat their peticoated philoso-
pher would scorn to resort to face
powder, paint and curling tongs. Any-
how, it is impossible to paint the lily,

Let Us Have Peace.
'We insert a word just here in the
'tlinterest of peace. The controversy
between Selectman Selleck and Senator
Ferris has reached the danger point.
Mr. Selleck says that Mr. Ferris
.agreed with his action in the telford
-xr-.oad matter and Mr. Ferris says that he
[did not, and would have worked other-
‘wise had he been present at the special
town meeting. Can we doubt that Mr.
[Selleck’s hot New England blood will
. boil at this? Does any one who knows
that battle-scarred political warrior,
Senator Ferris, imagine that he is a
climan to shrink from a little thing like a
boil? We say there is danger. We
.appeal to these gentlemen to rake out
the tire and cool themselves doWn.
It is greatly to be regretted that so
sunfortunate a controversy should have
.arisen. What is to be done about it?
These interchanges of “y our’e another”
mean not go on much longer Without
producing deplorable consequences.
JNhy can not Mr. Selleck either sub-
stantiate his statement or apologize for
having made it, and why can not Sena-
tor Ferris, meanwhile, smooth out his
wrinkled front and await in calmness
this decision.
We believe and hope that the code
. will not be resorted to but that the mat-
‘- ter will be amicably settled without the
::.shedding of blood.

To what extent municipal consolida-
~tion has been retal ded by the worse
than fruitless special town meeting and
