we look at the varied and superb embelish-

inclined to think it is SO. The steel plate,
"Olive Plants, is pretty domestic scene;
the beautiful frontispiece, Sorrow Under
the Sum-" is a romance in itself-su a
world OF expression is in the face Of the
girl leaning from the window-sill the
colored "Pattern for Slipper furnishes
just the design for a holiday present /; and
the colorcd Fashion Plate, as usual, is
unsurpassed Nothing of the kind can
compare with this in all fashion plate

There was n good story current ut
Montpelier the early part of the session,
which is still worth putting into type
Better late than never. We have be-
fore mentioned the fact that two or
three wealthy Boston and Philadelphia
men have purchased farms in stowe, of
late, on which to build their summer
residences, and enjoy the pleasures of
fancy farming. One of these had al
most completed his purchase, when n
hitch in the negotiations occurred. On
the farm was large sugar orchard.
The owner was willing to sell his farm
and transfer the rest of it OF once; but
he wished to reserve the occupancy of
his sugar orchard for the next year. To
thistle purchaser objected and the trade
was likely to fall through when services
of the general arbitrator, umpire, paci-
ficatOr, and manager of matters in gem
eral of the bailwick were called in. Mr.
Bingham was equal to the emergency
He proposed that the parties should
"split the difference" by dividing the
time in dispute-his Ieighbor to have
the use of the orchard for the first six
months, from November to May inclu
sive, and the city man to have it there
after. The Philadelphain, whose eN
perence with fruit orchards have shown
him that 'orchards were worth more
from May to November, than from No
vember to May, assented readily to this
proposition, and the trade was closed.
The Nermonter will have and rum his
orchard next spring; and il remains
to be seen how much sugar the city
man will make next fall. Free Press.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press telegraphs that the
President, in conversation with gentle
man lately stated that it was not his in
tcntion to make any changes in the
Cabinet, at least for the present.
Official returns of the recent election
in Maryland show that l34,525 votes
were polled for Representatives in Con-
gress-76,796 for the Democratic can
didates and 57,129 for the Republican
misunderstanding Democratic ma
iority of 1907. The increase in the
Republican vote since the Presidential
election of 1868 is - ,255.
1t is generally conceded that the cam
paign in Missouri was mere local episode
and that the election went off on side
issue, having nothing to do with the ma.
tional issues between the two great parties
and still less with the formation of a new
one.
Representative Sidney Clarke ofkan
sas, who is in Washington, is in doubt as
to the result of the election soon to occur
for successor to Senator Ross. He i,
himself candidate, and the contest seems
to be between him and Mr.. Ross, although
there are many other candidates possess
ing more or less strength. Senator
,. Pomeroy who also has arrived in Wash
iugton, says on the same topic that the
present incumbent. Senator Ross, is work
ing hard to be reelected, with little o.
no chances Of success. Congressman
Clarke is the most promising candidate
and so far appears to have the best pros
pect.

est and advantage TO respond favorably

this town. If no it will not be built
here; yet the road will be built into this
valley. \ word to the wise is sufficient.
There are several chartered companies
authorized to build railroads from points
On the lake to intersect the Pan Handle
road at or near Uhrichsville, and some
of them will certainly be constructed
during the next year. If our people
here and along the proposed route of the
Belmont and Toledo road ever expect to
get this road, they must not neglect 20
work in harmony with some OF these
movements. The route we propose is
practicable, the interest and welfare of
the community requires the road, there
is sufficient capital along it to secure its
construction and if it is not constructed,
it will because of the indifference or
penuriousness Of those who would
realize most from its construction. A
effort will be made this fall
to secure this much needed road, and
every man on the route should give it
aid and comfort.

Grant and the Republican Party

From the New York Herald.
There are TWO or three soreheads
amoug the Republican journals
of this city, and here and there O
lame duck among the party jour-
nails of the country, East and West,
which agree at least upon one thing, viz;
That General Grant in his appointments
and In his policy has fallen short oftheir
expectations. This, to be sure,i a mat
ter of very little consequence, but still
it is worth q passing nstice. Each of
these soreheads, pulled up with self-con-
cet, is grievously outraged that the Ad-
ministration has not valued this one,
that one or the other at his own esti-
mate. Here, for Instance, is a perfect
monomaniac on free trade, who, If he
could have his way, would abolish all
our custom houses and substitute di-
rect tax on home manufactures, from
which to supply the revenue now drawn
from foreign goods; and because General
Grant has not made this policy his poll
cy, of course his Administration is pro-
nouuced by this free-trade monomaniac
a lamentable failure. Again, here is a
pretentious half-and-half concern which
considers General Grant as falling into
the decline of Andrew Johnson in fail
ing to make said half and half organ the
chief dispenser Of tho spoils for his par
ticular hailiwiok. And here is rebel
lious fellow who has failed to get GUS
tom house, and there are other disap-
ointed patriots in the matter of n fat
postoliice, or consulate, or Territorial

Democracy and High Taxes.

From the-Baltimore American.
The rate of taxation in Maryland, as
was stated in the American few days
since, is higher than.ever before known,
aud the laws for their collection rather
severe. In Dorchester cOunty-where
the Democratic majority WAS $40, and
the county officials are all of that party
we lind fourteen sales of property ad-
vertised to take place in Cambridge dur
ing this month, to pay State and county
taxes. The schedules of the property
advertised show that many of the cases
are hard on the people. Several include
"oxen, cows, hogs, household and kitch-
ell furniture;" one "a lot of cabinet
makers TOOLS" another "a lot of farm
ing utensils" and two of them name
two beds and other furniture" When
the tax collectors of Maryland are not
only selling the working stock and i'm
plements of the farmer, but the tools of
the mechanic, the furniture from the
wife's kitchen, and absolutely the beds
from under the unfortunate taxpayers,
we take it that the times" in Mary land
are not easy on the people, although the
Legislature is unanimously Democratic,
and, until within few months, there
was not Republican in office in the
State. In the two three towns where
the corporation officers are Republican
a reduction of taxes followed their elec-
tion. These hard taxes and this cruel
and severe collection of them will be
heavy load for the Democracy of Mary
land to carzIt November.

J. NJ. Connell, Esq, addressed the col
ored men at Lancaster, at their celebra-
ton of the 18th Amendment, few
weeks since. Among other things, he
told them that the account in the Bible,
of Cain killing Abel. was all bosh. That
it was an old legend before the Bible was
ever heard of 10y him?) He said that
Abel was bloated bondholder, while
Cain was a poor stax-ridden mortal who
was willing to pay greenbacks or nothing
preferred the latter. Abel insisted on
gold for the bondholder and rags for the
people, whereupon Cain just settled his
account in full with club. He said
that it was noticeable fact that Cain
was never punished for this act except
by a little scratch or mark" and that
he took the money he should have paid
Abel, and went into a Democratic re-
.gion aud fourished like Court House
Ring. The Bible has always been in
the way of the Democratic party, and
Mr.. Connells patience becoming ex-
hausted he concluded to squelch it out.
We may expect to hear great sympathy
for the sufterings of this gentle Demo-
crat, and great rejoicings that at last he
became free from the radical rule of the
Almig ghty. Logan, Republican.

thing that would pay, and they are all
badly and sadly disappointed in General
Grant. There are some struggling mem
bers of Congress of the same way OF
thinking; b,l. what does all this amount
to?
1t is only the old story that the Offices
have given out before third of the ap-
plicants have been supplied, and that
some of the yain''~' and !iingriest of the
beggars are resolve upon revenge. We
have had the same complaints, the same
wranglings, and the same sort of boilers
in the party camp under every Admin
istratiOn since there have been any
spoils to divide worth fighting for. The
New York custom house has give more
trouble to every President, from Jackson
down, than all the fighting Indians in
the United States, and so it will be, we
suppose, for generations to come. No
matter who is made Collector, there is
sure to be fight over him among the
squabbling cliqIes of Office-beggars, and
the party is threatened with destruction
by Tom Dick and Harry il their rdemands
respectively, are not satisfied.
The Admin stration of General Grant,
however, has higher duties TO peform
than the feeding of these clustering
office-beggars. or the following of self
conceited policy-makers ofone fanatical
idea or a dozen impracticable notions.
In maintaining peace, in restoring law
and order throughout the country.in re-
public confidence in the
national credit and currency and gener-
al prosperity in our business affairs, in
reducing expenses and taxes and in pay
ing off the national debt, General Grant
is doing very well Let him persevere
in this good work, and, what ever may
be the growing or howlings of disap l
pointed soreheads, his Administration
will be sustained by the country.

The Lake Erie and Tuscarayyas Valley
Railway Company.

SOtnp pahys
The Tttscdrdwds AdUocate, of New
Philadelphia, thus states the new rail
road project and urges its citizens to
come up to the work:
Last week Company with the above
name was organized in Cleveland for
the purpose of constructing a Railroad
from Berea, on the Lake Shore Railway,
twelve miles South of Cleveland to the
Pan Handle Road, somewhere in the
Tuscarawas Valley. The scheme origi-
mated with the Directors of the Lake
Shore line; and some of the prominent
and wealthy citizens of Cleveland, who
have large mineral interests in this val
ley; and from the energy manifested
and the needs of the Lake Shore line
for coal, it may be safely predicted that
this road will be built. The manage
ment of the Lake Shore line have be-
come convinced, that at no distant day
they Will be compelled to operate their
extensive line with coal alone for fuel,
and under this conviction the agents of
the company have, for some time past,
been casting about to find a feasible
route froE, their trunk line to the coal
fields of Ohio; and upon thorough
investigation they are satisfied that, by
this proposed line, they can reach the
coal fields of the Tuscarawas Valley a
good deal nearer and much cheaper than
any other. At Albany, week befJre last,
at q meeting ofthe Directors of the Lake
Shore line, having a chart of the coal
fields of this valley and the proposed
road before them, they authorized one
of their number, resident of Cleveland
and manager of the Ohio division of
their road, to say to the meeting at
Cleveland, that they would put the su-
perstructure upon, furnish the rolling
stock and run the road, as far as the cti-
zens of Cleveland and along the line
would grade it. This secures, beyond
doubt, the construction of the road into
this V0JLey;- but WI ether New Philadel-
phia will be a point in the road or not
will wholly depend upon The citizens OF
this town. If they want this road they
have it, and if they Go not want it,
will not come here. One thing may
tsaid at the start-and we speak by
authority-and that is that the capital
isis land owners and business men OF
this town will not becoaxed or begged
of to. take any stock in it by any of the
managers of this enterprise. At the
proper time simple and reasonable pro.

The Income Tax is to stand, such be-
ing the agreement of the Conference
Committee ON the part of the two houses
of Congress. The rate will be two-and-
half per cent, halfthe present rate; the
exemptions two thousand dollars, double
the present amount. The tax and tariff
bill works extensive reforms. It reduces
the aggregate of taxation, it is estimated,
something like seventy-five millions
annually. The tax on gross receipts is
wholly abolished, others are modified,
and the free list is greatly enlarged.

There is some comfort in having enc
mics honest enough to say what they
mean. The Cincinnati Enquirer, pro-
testing against the Funding bill, says:
"If this measure passes, there will only
be one resource, that of the entire re-
pudiation of the debt, principal and in
terest.n The Enquirer is one of the
leading organs of what the Tammany
Society designates as ''the only party
that knows how to govern the country;"
and it came very near making the last
Democratic candidate forthe Presidency.
1.-The entire reputation of the debt,
principal and interest, ,"-that is plain
enough, at least. We shall be very glad
to so before the country.
