Caricaturing.

Few people are aware of the great
influence Thomas Mast welded with
his pencil in the last campaign. 1t is
not too much to say that his sketches
accomplished more toward defeating
Mr.. Greeley than the speeches of the
most silvery-tongued orators or the
brightest gems of thought they may
have uttered. The peculiar and prevail
ent style of caricaturing which. has been
made famous by the eloquent pencil and
brush of Mast, impresses ones mind with
greater force than columns of beautiful
ly-worded printed matter, and from this
very fact there is more danger to be APP
pretended from this style of literature
than any other branch.
The statement of Mr.. Mast. in his lee
ture at Rutland the other evening, that
we We're getting to be as bad as the
Greeks, who delighted themselves in
showing up in ridiculous attitudes and
positions those to whom reverence was
due by the teachings of mythology,
shows that the seeming arguments pre-
sented by caricatures may degenerate
into obscenity and low ribaldry. That
the ancients themselves SO degenerated
in this art has been proven by the dis
covery in the buried cities of Herculan-
cum and Pompeii of acknowledgements
ed paintings, totally unfit to be seen and
utterly destructive to the first principles
of morality. We say that these carica-
lures are seeming arguments, if ridicule
and sarcasm can be classed as such.
That they reach larger class of people
and effect more service among those
who either are unable to read or unwil-
ling to. devote the time to the perusal of
a short or lengthy array of facts, can not
be doubted; hence the greater danger, as
the subject is only answerable by the
mode of placing 1t before the people.
Caricaturing is, undoubtedly, one of
the most powerful, as well as dangerous
weapons that can be welded to influence
public affairs. Let us hope that this
powerful weapon viii never be used for
any otherpurpose than to crush out and de-
stroy the hypoorits of society, the thieves
andrascles of the political field, and every
thing in general that tends to the detri-
ment of humanity. 81.

THE YELLOW FEVER SUI
FERERS.


The agonizing cries of the Memphis
sufferers are still coming up from the
desolated city, and spreading throughout
the country, decorating the hearts OF the
good and the true and the noble and the
generous of our land. Memphis, over
whelmed and devastated by the terrible
plague, is still appealing to her brethren
for succor. There have already been
noble and open-hearted responses to the
piercing calls for help from the yellow
fever sufferers yet much still remains
TO be done to complete the good work
and to substantially assist our afflicted
brethren of Tennessee. Recent reports
inform us that the city is in terrible
condition. Out of population of 3d.
600. $4,000 of which is large estimate
for those remaining, 1900 have died /;
1900 are now sick over 1000 families
are drawing rations from the Citizens
Relief Committee Commissary, and LOO
orphans are in different asylums. At
the present time over half the entire
families have been swept away, and it is
a common occurrence to hear of but one
member of large family left to let the
world know what the history of 1878
may fail to chronicle.
Shreveport also is almost completely
abandoned from the effects of the fever.
The latter is much smaller town than
Memphis, and yet it has been, according
to its population, much more severely
afflicted than Memphis. Both cities are
in state of prostration; their urgent
appeals for help are necessitated from
their paralyzed condition. Their heart
less destroyer has ruthlessly and re-
morselessly broken up families; taken
away the children from their parents and
the parents from their children wailing
and lamentation and dreadful tribulation
exists on all sides What is needed, more
than anything else at present, is suffi-
cheney Of funds, whereby nurses can be
furnished for the sick, food for the
starving, and the means of subsistence
for the impoverished.
And now, we call upon the citizens of
Rutland to emulate the spirit of the larg-
er cities, and cast in their mite to-
ward alternating the sufferings of the
yellow fever victims. No matter if the
sum should not be large, let us do some
thing for the good cause. No matter if
the times are hard, money scarce, and
trade dun, we can surely put our hands
in our pockets and subscribe something
to the general fund. Do not wait to see if
your neighbor contributes, but contribute
yourself. If necessary let us have a
public meeting and raise what funds we
can for this charitable purpose. For the
credit of Vermont, for the credit of our
town, for the sake of our own conscience
es, let us do something commendable in
this matter. We would respectfully
suggest to our local clergy, that collec-
tion be taken up next Sunday in our va
rious churches for this purpose. All
funds left at this office will be at once
forwarded to Shreveport or Memphis as
the donors will elect.

APPLICATION having been made to the
Postmaster General by the agent of a
line of Scotch steamers for contract for
carrying the Scotch mails stopping at
Belfast, Ireland, Mr.. Creswell replies
that no contracts for carrying ocean
mails have been let for any period be-
yond Dec. 81 next, and that, in view Of
the brief intervening period, no new
contracts win be let before that time.
On that day all existing ocean mail con-
tracts terminate by limitation, and the
transportation of all ocean mails will be
opened to the worlds competition. 1t is
said that the sole condition to be con-
sidered in awarding new contracts will
be the speed and safety of the mails.
After Jan. 1, Mr.. Creswell viii endeaYor
to secure the greatest possible number of
mails to Europe With the greatest speed
and safety. 1t is considered quite pos
sible that there may be sufficient compe-
tition to provide for daily European
mails. The increased number, Of trips
does not increase the cost to our post
office department, as the compensation
for the transportation OF, ocean, mails is
limited by law to the seapostage allowed
by the treaties with the several Euro
pean countries; upon letters actually
carried.

At Utica on Monday the market was
very quiet and the sales light The Of

only about /, 200 boxes had been sold at
the hour of closing The prices were
133@14c., more selling, however, at the
lower than at the higher figure. The
average or ruling figure was probably
about 1890.

boxes, and the exports were 26, 1854
boxes. The cable was 68s. Gold closed

exceptions above and below this range.
Some fancy lots are held at 15c, but we
cannot give that as fair quotation.

AT St. Adams on Tuesday the market

We heard of two or three sales at higher
figures, but they were for extra ''gilt-

AT Boston the receipts of butter for
the week past has been II 1929 packages
