The Nelg York Sun Of the 10th

The Nelv York Sun Of the 10th
inst. devotes three and half columns
to an exposition of the frauds prac-
ticed by what il terms the Central Pa
cific r. r. Ring, by which it claims
the sum of s2ll, 229, 32S. II has been
gobbled. All the arts of r. r. spe-
cial management have been brought
into requisition to accomplish this as
tonishing fraud. And the successful
thieving has been going on, since the
first beginning of the c. p. r. r. en-
terprise. The generous aid furnished
the undertaking by the United States
Government, as we'll as by States and
Territories, has been misapplied and
effect stolen. The road is repre-
sented as being badly constructed and
poorly equipped while the immense
sums of money which it was suppos-
ed to have cost, have found their way
into the pockets of the dishonest ring
which comprised the Company Board
of Directors. That such immense
frauds can be so successfully carried
out, and that the guilty participators
when discovered are never adequately
punished is matter for profound re-
greet on the part of all honest people.
If the wisdom Of our Legislators
could be employed in devising. some
law which would prevent these out
RACES by rendering it impossible TO
carry them out without discovery or
even in the enactment of law which
would suitably punish the guilty after
they were discovered, instead of de-
vising means of putting money in
their own pockets by practices OIL
most equally dishonest, they would
more fully meet the duties which the
people expect from them.

Another leader Of the Spanish re-
public has thrown up his task of Or
ganizing a durable republican form of
Government in Spain. The name of
Piny MargalI is now added to those
of Figueras and CASTELAR,, who resign
the task which in opposition they
deemed so easy and Oh trial find so
impossible.
The advent of Don Carlos to the
throne of Spain is now but q ques-
ton of time, possibly Of Il few days.
His enthronement will be only q signal
for the consolidation of parties now
antagonistic and unless European
powers assume the task ofintesvention,
blood must flow like water in that i'll
fated country. Order can hardly be
restored at less price in Spain, for
education and enlightenment, which
alone can teach people the value Of
liberty, are unfortunately at very
low ebb in that country.
Machiavella wrote some three hun
dred and fifty years ago that ''the way
to renovate States is always to e
back to first principles, especially tc
the first principles upon which those
States were founded" And Machia
vella's words arc as universally perth
nent and applicable now as when they
were written.

A Detective in Trouble.

Many of our readers, particularly
Colebrook people, will be interested to
learn that "Detective" A. P. Squires,
q former landlord of the Parsons
House, has come to grief. He was
arraigned on the 14th, at Claremont,
where he has resided for several years,
charged by q Mrs. Davis, alias Brown,
alias Dunn, with embezzling $4,000
in cash and quantity of diamonds, in
regard to which the complainant
testified that some two years ago her
husband was under Indictment for
robbing bank in Vermont; that the
sum of $4,000, in cash and diamonds,
was deposited with o Mr.. Randall at
Montpelier as security for going bail
the bonds having iously been
reduced from $4,000 to this amount
through the intercession of Squires
for consideration that she employed
Squires as her agent to secure mol
pros entry in the case and return the
cash and diamonds to her; that Spires
accomplished his undertaking, and
returned the diamonds but kept the
money, which Melted about $4,000
after paying incidental expenses.
Complainant further deposes that her
husband was also under indictm emit il
Massachusetts for robbing the ORATOR
Bank, and that she gave Squires Q
lot of diamonds to be "placed where
they would do the most good" in
securing q mol pros entry in that case
but that he (Squires) appropriated
them to his own use, leaving the in
dictment still hanging over Mr.. Davis
Per. Contra, Squires swears tina
it was the agreement between himsel
and Mrs. Brown, tina
for his services, IN securing the no
pros entry in the Vermont case h
was to have all the money deposited
with Mr.. Randall, and that the dia
monds which complainant says wer
to be used in securing mol pros il
the Massachusetts case, were givel
him with which to raise money for tn
support of herself and husband, ant
that he had paid over to them tn
sum realized. Squires was held il
the sum of $500 for appearance.

Short Sermons a Relief.
I. c. WELCOME.

II is quite certain that we who
preach long sermons have not duly
considered the distress, the real misery
which a portion of our congregations
suffer. | confess that have not until
recently and now cannot blame my
self for the cause OF this suffering.
But let us not complain OF those
short sermons preached by those who
minister to modern fashionable assem-
blies. We should remember that
many of their women worship the God
of fashion, and come TO meeting with
minds and bodies too much exhausted
to remain longer than it requires to
see and be seen. They have become
already weary by hours of labor and
anxious care in dressing, hooking,
strapping, lacing, cramping, loading,
painting, curling, and deforming their
bodies, that they may appear fashion
ably dressed as art and care can pro-
duce. Then they have travelled OH
foot or in carriage some distance, all
the way in a distorted, unnatural, I'M
comfortable position the feet pressed,
the heels several inches higher than
the toes the back loaded with an
enormous bulk of packing, the head
covered deep in matted, braided, or
curled bogus hair of such weight as to
draw heavily upon the roots of the
real hair. Then when they arrive at
the place of religious worship, these
poor slaves of fashion are obliged IL
sit down, and try 70 be quiet an houl
aud a half with all these burdens laced,
strapped, hooked, and tied upon them
Who wonders that they want short
sermons, and short prayers also
Poor creatures, they need sympathy
and admonition also. Their f-et can
not be relieved in meeting. rheil
backs cannot be relieved of the mon
strous protruson which is attached
anu they cannot sit erect or lean back
to get support, but must lean forward
which requires much strength. The
head must bear its extra burden O
bogus hair, and other artifcials, il
cold or heat. Surely this class o
hearers should have short sermons
direct and practical, laying open tc
their view, if possible, the deprayity
Of the human heart, the vanity of hu
man greatness the results of crafty
ing the pride of the heart, which mus
come upon them in the day of judg
ment. But the remedy, the great sal
walton by Cur Lord Jesus Christ, mus
not be slightly passed over. A crucl
fed, risen, gloritied and coming Sa
vior must be held up before these ant
Ill other slaves to sin,as the only way
of release, of pardon and salvation
and that by repentance, self-renuncia
ton, and conservation Of ourselves Il
the service of God through faith in th'
all-cleansing blood of Christ.

Railroad Progress.

The story of railroad building in the
United States is a wonderful one.
Every year the wonder grows. The
number of miles of railroad in the
country at the end of 1872 was 81, ZIP
of which 600 miles were built in the
preceding year. All this great net
work of communications has been
built within the memory of men yet
in the prime of life. The cost of them
has been $3.50, 423, 1857, or fifty per
cent. more than our national debt.
OF the cost the capital stock represents
about 50 per cent, and debts about
48 per cent. A great many roads
have been built entirely on bonds and
are run by the capital stock on which
not dollar was ever paid in. The
cost Of the roads per mile averaged
$55,l16, and the gross earnings last
year were $473,241 ,055, of winch
1882, 309, 270, or % per cent. was re-
ceived for the transportation of pas
sengers, and $340, 931 1855, or 70 per
cent, for the transportation OF freight
and miscellaneous sources of small ac-
count. The average receipts per mile
throughout the country were 1926 ;
in the new New England States, $40,
6S6 in the middle States, $14,565 ;
in the Western States, $6735; in the
Southern States, 1880 in the Pacific
States, S10,161. The percentage of
gross earnings to cost averaged l, be-
ing largestin New EngIand-2l.l per
cent, and smallest in the Pacific
,States-1O.5 per cent. The railroads
in New England earned, during the
past year, $48, $40, 835-being $40,
636 FER mile, and 1928 per head OF
population. Their total cost was
$3.50, 609,794, of which 1914 per cent.
WAS represented by capital stock.
Their cost per mile was $50, 41S
Their gross earnings were Pill pei
cent. of their cost. Their net carr
ings $14, 436, 481, and at the rate Of 6
26 per cent. of their total cost. The
dividends paid amounted to $500
877, or 6.64 per cent. on the aggregate
capital stock of 1929 ,012,748.

Soldiers Reunion at Rutland.

The soldiers and veterans Of our
late war, throughout, the State, are
marshalling their forces and making
elaborate preparations for the grand
soldiers reunion, which occurs at Rut-
land, on the 9th, 9TH and Sth of Au-
gust. The gathering is under the au-
spices of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, who invite all the old soldiers
to join with them on this occasion.
A battalion Commander is appointed
in each county, who appoints in turn
a recruiting officer in each town OF
his county to drum up the "Boys in
Blue" and bring them out to the three
days jubilee. This organization OF
the State forces under very able lead
ership is receiving rousing response
from the rank and file, as we'll as
every man who wore the strap and
buttons, and everything appears ia.
vorable for gathering such as never
occurred in any one State of our Union
since the war.
The Chairman of the Committee
Col. w. G. Weary of Rutland, has
sent cordial invitations to all of the
old Army officers of the country, and
to many of the best public speakers
of the land, to be present on this oc.
casion.
Responses have been received from
Gen. Joseph r. Hawley of Connecti-
cut, Chaplain TrumbuIl, Gen. J. G.,
Foster and Gen. s. G. Griffin, saying
they will be present. Gen. Hawley
will be one of the principal speakers,
and it is confidently expected that
Gen. Charles Devens will also be on
hand to address the boys. Many
more of the brave and eloquent are
sure to be there, and much will be ex.
pected Of them in the matter of rous.
ing speeches and old time reminiscen.
ces. Tents are to be erected on the
Rutland County Fair Grounds, mile
or SO from the village, where ample
accommodation will be made for {
grand encampment.
The programme for the three days
consists of parades, speeches, camp
fires, jubilee dinners, reunion meet,
ings, etc. r.
