sumo it is not very strong either In numbers or

under which Mr.. Parish was at that time suffering,
if it did not ncapaciyate him altogether from Dis
posing of bis property at least subjected him TO b

The original viii and tn codic were sustained BY

The simplest, safest and cheapest government in

officers are the Selectmen, the Town Clerk,

of Taxes, the Assessors and the School

paid are paid little. The rulers of the small COM
monweslth ere snr ually elected in town meeting,
and are selected for their prudence and honesty.
The smallest fall from financial graes-the pecula-
ton of penny-in fact, even bad bargain, would
send the eerelict to private life. The solid men Of
the community acknowledge their responsibility and
undertake their share of the public work. which, If
it does not bring them the pence, may bring them
the praise and the esteem of their fellow-ctizens
witha very tall Tombstone when they make the nal

dollar can be spent which the people do not eI-

item is limited. There is 30 much for the poor, so
much for the roads, and so much for the schools
Formerly there was so much for the minister, but
that dayhas gone by. Andif the people are disposed
to be e1travagant, they are RESTRAINED BY various
decisions of the Supreme Court which has from its
foundation, more than half q century ago, set its
face Iesolutely against any town appropriations
except for strictly town purposes. As communi-
ties have grown large, they have aped the excuses
ard eItrayagsnces of the cities. Money has been
voted for burning gunpowder on the Fourth Of July
for buying fulllepgth portraits of Warrington

GERS upon their good behavior for great many
years, and reminds the voters that although they
may do what they please with their own, they may
not do what they please with the cash Of others.
