1t was asserted, some weeks ago, by sew
eral newspapers, self constituted mouth
pieces of the republican party, that the
party was a close corporation and that the
liberal republicans, having committed the
objectionable sin, could never be received
back, unless they came in sackcloth and
ashes, and took back seats We had as
much right to speak for the republican par
ty as they, and thought differently. How
stands Il to-day? one of these papers is
concentrating itself that General Banks,
Though laborng under the load of a great
..mistakc of last year, is taken up in a re-
publican stronghold, and rushed into the
state senate by a large majority etc,
etc. The New York Times has abandoned
the close corporation business and gone to
prosclyting, and claims Andrew c. Middle
ton-thc state senator elect from the cigh
teenth dislrict-as II republican. although
he was nominated by the liberal rcpubli-
cans, supported by the democrats and cleo
led over the regular republican candidate
We doubt not that both of these gentlemen
are republicans and we are glad to note a

way, as, also, for political expenditures
for he made common cause with his bro
ther 1t will be readily recalled by those
familiar with politics thirteen years ago,
that it was distinctly charged and not de-
MED that William Sprague bought his way
into the gubernatorial chair of Rhode Is
land, as, also, afterwards into the United
States Senate. These facts alone, coupled
with extravagent living and general neglect
of business, would eat up even their repu-
ted enormous property in the course of
very few years. The worst of the report
cd story remains to be told We hope 1t is
not true, but we have heard 1t whispered
for some time. A dispatch from Provi-
dence, few days ago, stated that the Sena-
tor had withdrawn, temporarily, from the
management, on account of debility occa-
stoned by his recent great anxiety and ex-
traordinary pressure of business. In com
meniing thereon Boston paper says that
Senator Sprague is disgrace TO Rhode Is
land and to the Senate that " his voice is
never heard, and he sits in his chair an alb
sent-minded listener, while he should be a
participant His habits Of intoxication are
well known, and it is asserted that he has
been incapable of attending to the affairs
of his concern because he has been on a
drunk OF about a month" AS we have
said, we know not that is true, but we fear
that il is. The temptations of Washing
ton, we fear, have overcome him as they
did McDougall, Yates, salisbury and
hccatomb of others. viii the business men
of the country, will our politicians and
rulers, need many more such fearful cX-
amplcs ere they shun the fatal rock?

THE HAWAIIAN BURNED on THE WAY FROM
HAMILTON TO MONTREAL.

HAMILTON TO MONTREAL.
a dispatch from Toronto says the stea-
mer Bavaran, of the Royal Mail line,
bound from Hamilton to Montreal, with
six cabin passengers, took fire about eight
o'clock, Wednesday night, fourteen miles
from shore, opposite Oshawa. The fire
broke out in the centre of the boat, near
the engine, and the flames spread with
great rapidity. Three boats were immedi-
ately lowered, and one of them went adrift
and was lost. The passengers and crew
got into the other boats, one of which CON
tanned nine persons, including the pilot.
ladies maid and seven of the crew.
The other boat contained thirteen per-
sons, including the first and second mates.
the purser, and two passengers-a boy
named James Glare, Il Mr. Parmentcr. of
Toronto-and five of the crew. Both boats
reached the shore safely. There are four
teen persons to he accounted for including
Captain Carmichael, Mr. Fennicon, the
chief engineer William Spence. the stew
ard and three lady passengers Mrs.
Hubbard and daughter of Brockville Miss
Ireland, of Kingston-and Mr. Wier. of
Chatham. These were not able to ret into
the boats. The last seen of Captain Car
michael he was on plank III the water.
The agent of the Royal Mail line of
steamers, Mr. f. p. Beach, says that he
has not been officially notified of the burn
ing of the steamer Bavarian. Unless there
was great loss of life the company would
not keep the matter quiet. The Royal Mail
line has ten passenger steamers on Lake
Ontario, and the Bavaran was one of the
two new vessels put on the line last spring.
She had accommodations for over / 900
passengers, and was the handsomest and
most costly vessel on the lakes, except her
consort, the Bohemian. The disaster oc-

TEHsi SPIsAGUES.

We see it stated that the assignees, to whom
the Rhode Island Spragues have made over
their property to secure their creditors,
have made it an absolute condition pre-
ccdcnt to entering upon their trust, that
Amasa Sprague and William Sprague-
United States Senator-shall resign all their
presdcncies and directorships in the sew
cral banks, savings banks and manufactu-
ring companies with which they had been
connected, and in which their property has
been invested This being insisted upon as
4 sine qua non, it was, as we understand,
acceded to, so far, at least, as to lead them
10 take the steps necessary to bring about
the severance of their connection with
these several institutions 1t is hoped that
thc assets will be sufficient to pay the H.
abilities Of the family but it is minated
that such a result is more than doubtful,
even if Il rose colored exhibit of their af-
iiirs should be presented Whether their
debts are paid or not, hundreds and thous-
nnds of men, women and children will be
thrown out of employment during the
winter; and the want and suffering en-
tailed thereby will be frightful. Why their
iuWnfall? The Spragues have long been n
power in Rhode Island and only contested
the supremacy with the families of Brown
and lycs, who virtually became one by in
tcrmarliage and business relations. The
wealth of the Spragues was believed to
equal, if not surpass, that of their oppo.
nents, while their political star was far in
the ascendant. The father-whose name.
was also William-was the founder Of the
house both in wealth and political innu
cnce, and was governor Of the state and
United States Senator. With such enor-
nous wealth, with such unbounded polti-
cal prestige, influence and patronage, why
did the house fall Brown and Ives stand
rnmoyed, as firm as a rock, and ready to
meet any and every claim upon them The
Spragucs ought to have been in the same
situation. Why are they not? We will
tell the tale as il was told to us-a part of
which, too, is a matter of common noto-
iiety.
Briefly, their power, influence and pres
tige was due to their money-they neglect
ed their legitimate business and wasted
their property in all kind of ostentatous
extravaganza. Amasa Sprague was more
at home at the race course than in the
counting room, and his ventures-we
should call it bets-on a single race were
said to have been as large as he ever in
vested in a single business transaction.
This is, probably, an exaggeration, but his
losses, in this way, are known to have
been enormous, and the winning horse was
bought by him, if possible, no matter what
the fancy price. Great holes were being
constantly made into the property in this

y LITTLE VERMONT ROMANCE. - We
find the following in Boston paper !:
About seventeen years ago an elderly cou-
pie, while on visit to friends in Fairfax,
passed through the poorhouse at that place,
and among the inmates n bright little girl
of seven summers attracted their atten-
ton, and SO fayorably were they impressed
that they determined to adopt her, to
which the authority readily assented. All
that was known of her history was the
fact that she had been left at the institu-
ton when mere infant by disreputable
looking French Canadian couple, who i'm
mcdately left the place and nothing sub
sequcnt was known of them. The little
girl, apparently delighted with her
new-fOund friends, went with them To
their home in the northern part of
the State, where she became to them
rs their own child and shared the love of
the old couple equally with their son, who
was some three years older than herself,
After lapse of some six years, however, a
villainous looking man appeared at the
Fairfax Almshouse and demanded the maid
en- that he had left there so many years be-
fore, representing that he was her father.
The adopted parents were at once informed
of this demand and determined to retain
their adopted child at all hazards, the girl
vehemently protesting that the man was not
her father, although She could give no rea-
son for her belief. One day, however, the
man, accompanied by three associates, in
vaded the quiet homestead, and forcbly car
ried her away. They We're, however, pur-
sued by the old gentleman and his son, who
traced them to Burlington, and through the
valuable assistance rendered by lady of
that place the abducted girl was restored to
her home and the abductors fled from the
place, narrowly escaping a coat of tar and
feathers at the hands of the exasperated
citizens. For several years after this oc-
currence yiglant watch was kept over
the young lady from fear of another at
tempt at abduction, but the parties never
appeared again and only short time ago
the heroine of the incident was married to
the son of her adopted parents, but the
mystery of her birth and parentage has
never been unravelled, as everything goes
to strengthen the belief that the ruflian who
claimed to be her father was of no kin to
her.
We have no recollection of any such oc-
currence in Burlington, as that alluded to
aboye.-F'ree Press.

\ Lesson from and for the T,mes.

With the tenderest possible feeling for
second best, we tell them that they are
mainly, although not entirely, responsible
for this tendency toward excessive eXpend-
iture, and they consequently can do most
to check it. Dress, which they first think
Of is not the only, or even the most impor-
tant, item in the extravaganza in question.
Yet no obseryant person can have failed to
see how vastly greater in all conditions of
life the cost Of dress is among women. who
live mostly indoors, than among men, who
must go out daily and in all weathers and
this excess, therefore, is not in what is ne
cessary. But American women want the
best for their children, for their homes,
nay, sometimes (though very SELDOM for
their husbands. This is but a morbid ac-
ton of healthy instinct-that which be-
longs to motherhood. But with us it takes
ruinOus turn. American families the
head of which has an income that in any
other country would Gin proportion to the
value OF money! be regarded as making the
utmost economy of means imperative, live
here upon the best and in the most expen-
sivc way. The best that the market affords
is not too good for them, and an ntmaton
that that which is wholesome and com
Portable although not the costliest, would
better become their means, and conduce in
the end more to their real happiness, would
be sure to be resented by matertdnliIids if
not by pdter. And now is a good time to
stop all this, and to turn over that new leaf
of which we all have heard SO much, but

coalitions we have spoken of. New York

seekers, by, probably, bringing upon her
self a worse rule than the success of the
coalition would have engendered. The re-
buke is all the stronger for this fact
Where there is no abandonment of prip-
ciple, coalitions are defensiblc, because
right and proper but where there is such
an abandonment, let us condemn all alike,

Sir samuel Baker, the African EX-
pIOrer.

A correspondent of London journal
describing the arrival of Sir Samuel and
Lady Baker in Paris, says;
Sir Samuel anG Lady Baker, with theil
nephew and some black servants, arrived
here this morning, en- route for London.
They will only stay a few days in Paris.
The whole of them are in excellent health,
and bear strong traces of exposure to an
African sun. have just had long con-
versation with Sir Samuel Baker and his
gentle, though heroic, wife.
Sir Samuel speaks in warm praise of the
Viceroy, Cheriff Pacha, and Nuba Pacha.
The Viceroy, in his opinion, is one humid
red years ahead of the people he governs.
He gives His Ilighness the fullest credit
for sincere desire to suppress the slave
trade, and regards the appointment of a
be Sir Samuel's successor in com
mand of the expedition as strong
guarantee that the work begun two
years since will be honestly continued.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the Niceroy
and his two intelligent ministers to facili-
tate Sir Samuel Bakers task, the people in
terested in slavery managed to throw SER
ious obstacles in his way He found his
first journey up the Nile, when a mere
tourist, more pleasant than the second.
Africans and traders in human flesh could
not be urged into the belief that the tirman
prohibiting the slave trade was drawn in
singleness of purpose, it being in theiryiew
a crafty device to incite Sir Samuel to an
mex their territory. The bearer of this de-
cree took the greatest care to deal with the
natives according to the spirit of English
common law, and never allowed himself TO
be goaded by their violence or trcachery
into undue severity. Sir Samuel antici-
pates great commercial results from the
creation of the projected railway to
Khartoum, the finest coffee growing dis
trict perhaps in the world. The excellence

The New York papers bring the intelli-
gcncc of the death of Hon. Il. a. STAINS
bury, which took place on Tuesday at his
residence at IIaledon, near Paterson, n. j.
Mr.. Stansbury was born in Vermont in
1911. He studied law, says the Burlington
Free Press, with Hon. VIM. p. Briggs OF
Richmond in this county. and in 1910,
while still law student, married Judge
Briggs eldest Daughter, lovely and esti-
mahle lady. Mr. Stansbury commenced
the practice OF law in Richmond, but soon
after removed to Burlington Here in 1918
he established the FFte Sail C0Q5ier This
proving an unsuccessful enterprise he sold
the paper, we think, in 1850, and devoted
himself to the law. In 1854 he removed to
New York city, where he went into the in
surancc business. and became vice president
of one of the New York companies In
1866 he became prominent in politics, and
was elected to the New Jersey Assembly, in
which he served one term, and was very
prominent on account of the part he took in
having the word white" stricken from
the State Constitution. Last fall he became
a jealous supporter of the Liberal
movement Mr.. Stansbury was a brother
of Mrs. Kirkland, the authorcss. He was
a man of genial manners, and of many es-
Unable personal qualities, and his death is
regretted by large circle of friends.
