and talking OF their country. "The fact

IN America is darned good licking. "

that is just what, you do want" r"But
the difficulty is" continued the editor to

THE Maryland Legislature proposes to
repeat its old.time folly, which has been
several times rebuked in the Fedora
courts, Of taxing commercial travellers
who canvass the State for merchants liv.
ing beyond its limits. This Is putting q
urdenupon commerce, the regulation d
which between States was taken away
from the Legislature many yearsa go, and
furthermore Of Marylanders did but know
it, ii does a serious injury to their OWL
business and showsa narrow spirit moi
likely to win the respect of the rest Of tht
world. In this land offteedcm trade meets
with moro restraints and preplexitiel
than in any other part Of the world.

A sad accident occurred on Bono
seen outlet, within the village limits,
about half past seven o'clock on Sunday
evening, the 10Th inst. One of our cit
liens, Richard NJ Williams, in company
with John Morris of Fairhaven, was
sitting at the stern of boat which Nor
ris was rowing, and in turning part way
round in his seat and calling out to a
man walking on the shore, lost his bal
ance and fell backward into the stream,
where the depth was only about six feet.
Morris gave the alarm, and soon several
men with boats reached the spot. The
body was seen lying on the bottom,
with arms outspread. James Delehanty
first jumped into the water, but did not
grasp the body. Next John Downs
made a dive, seized the body and raised
it to the surface, when n. =. Hatch
grasped the hair of the head and drew
the body partly into the boat, in which
position it was conveyed to the shore.
Efforts for resuscitation were made i'm
mediately, under the directions of Mr.
p. W. Hyde, and continued until the ar
rival of Dr. Stiles. who decided that fur
ther attempts would be of no avail.
Mr.. Williams was quarryman 40 years
old. He leaves widow and four child
ren to mourn his loss.
Mr.. A. W. Hyde has not yet entire
ly recovered from an attack of hemi-
plegia, but is able to ride out every fair
day.
Pleasure seekers are now resorting
to Lake Bomoseen in fair numbers for
the season.
Mr.. G. w. Chaplin of Rutland, hay-
ing bought out the store of E. ID. Bill
lings, is now offering for sale well Sc
lected stock. of goods at low prices.

his uptrammeled choice of a candidate

made ! venture to suggest that General
Grant will be far better qualified for that
tremendous trust in 1912 than he was in

The Labor Strikes.

1t is evident that the people do not
comprehend the full potent of the move
ment among the workingmen of the
country. There is an uneasiness-an an
tagonism between capital and labor.
These powerful forces are arrayed one
against the other, and the end cannot be
forcseen. The great cities are beginning
to understand its relations and awake to
its discussions. Even the pulpit has been
Invaded in the consideration of the sub
iect as one of the important social ques-
lions of the hour-as is evidenced by the
discourse of Rev. O. B. rockingham in
New York on Sunday. We have given
but limited attention to the matter in Yer
mont, and it may be well to consider
the movement that it may be rightly
understood.
The strike seems to still rage in seve-
raj of the great cities from New Eng
land to the great southwest. 1t has been
confined to no trade, but has stopped
work in the cabinet and piano manufac-
tories Of New York left Philadelphians
In darkness for want of gas, and threat
eacd travel on the street railways of
Baltimore. The printers of Buffalo are
ealing for higher wages; the shoemakers
Of Cincinnati want more pay and the
railroad men of Galveston have crippled
their locomotives by way Of .rebuke to
the management of the Texas Central
Railroad.
Notwithstanding all this there is a
notable lack Of that kind of enforced
unanimity which characterizes such
demonstrations in Europe. The coercive
spirit has been shown however, and has
not been without some effect; even vio-
lence has been threatened; but in spite
of leagues and communistic clap-trap, a
good many unmanageable individuals
have kept their own counsel WELL and
the mighty machinery of the unions can
not move them. In New York the
Stuinway piano makers and the Singer
Sewing Machine Company have been
subjected to considerable annoyance.
The establishment of the former offered
One-tenth increase of wages for which
ten hours work was required; the en-
ployes were at first disposed to accept
but their brethren in the craft disapprov-
ed and the Stoinway's made their offer
an asztinaatuD9. The Singer Company,
vino have $4,000 persons in their employ
ment, calmly remarked that a vacation
of few months was precisely what they
wanted and paid off their dissatisfied
workmen, contenting themselves with
an appeal to their reason and an oppor-
tunity to return to their posts whenever
they chose to go on at the old rates
Coercion thus far has been little less than
constructive; still $50 men who under
took to resume work one morning-one-
half quit before noon through fear of a
crowd of strikers who had gathered to
driue them off. So this movement goes,
none knowing where it viii end unless
authority shall demand a cessation. This
is a question worthy the thoughtful con-
sideration of every citizen, for the time
is fast approaching when it will become
political question which must be met
aud every maD must decide for himself.

How is this fer Pluck ?

The Michigan papers publish facts in the
case Of one William i. Snyder, now serv-
ing out his time in their State Prison, at
Jackson, for a crime connected with
the history Of which are the following
facts:
On the Sabbath night OF the 2Sth OF
last January the inhabitants of the vii
lage of Decatur, on the Michigan Cen
trail Railroad, were startled from their
sleep by the alarm of fire. Among
the first at the scene was a hastily dress
ed young man, who discovered a track
in the new and deep snow, which sug-
gested the idea of an incendiary.
Prompting the leader of the police and
leaving the fire and the fight, they
struck ont on this track, through field
and forest, till it broke into the line of the
railroad and thence lead off. At this
point with frozen head wind of the
thermometer at II degrees below zero,
all in pursuit gave up except our young
leader, who pushed on in search of the
fugitive, thirteen miles and captured
him just as he was taking refuge in the
early train at Dowagiac station.
Thus captured without process and
his resistance over come, our young hero
took his prisoner back to the scene of
his crime, and duly secured his convic-
ton for the crime of burning of his own
house in fraud of the insurance COM
pany, who have not as yet, as the town
has made a substantial manifestation of
appreciation for such gallant and merit
orious services.
We congratulate our young friend
who is now visiting his kin folks here,
and the scene of his parents nativity, in
Middletown, from whence they emil
grated when the editor of this paper was
a mere child We confess to an admir-
alton for such an example of pluck and
persistence, the motive of which is in
such contrast with mere prize perform
ances,
