COUNTY TEMPERANCE MEET

Remember the meeting Of the Orleans
County Temperance Society at Barton
Landing, next Wednesday This society
has usually named or nominated 4 eoun-
tY commissioner, and as this officer has
it in his power to do the county much
good, or much harm as he chooses, it IS
important that 4 good man be selected
for the place. Rum and the influence
Of rum will always find means to buy
up every officer that can be bought, and
unless commissioner is selected who
is above bribery, he may be bought up
and appoint such town agents as will
sell the most liquor. Aside from the
Importance Of a proper selection Of this
one officer, there is much to come before
the meeting, that Will be of interest to
every citizen Of the county. The TEN
perance cause needs constant agitation
and constant help. for the two enemies,
the appetite of men, and Saleries are
busily at work to tear down and destroy
all that can be done by the friends Of
temperance to make our county rcspec.

ought to be started and kept in active
operation in all our towns, and doubt.

his opinion, might be safely removed.
and that Is the provision which forbids
the free transportation Of weekly news

such papers are so evenly distributed
over the entire extent of the country.

ROwELL,S DIRECTORY.

RoEeITs Newspaper Directory, which claims 10 give
the true circulation Of nearly every paper IN the
United States and the British Provinces credits the

counting exchanges. We can beat 500 in M0TriSt0Wn

I'VE know % at least half dozen such the eireul

Of the Directory since their Information derived
from the editors Of these sheets. who have given
false estimate Of their circulation in order to get big
prices for ADVERTISING Such course * downright
swindling.- Vermont CStL=eH.
This Is the third Directory that Row

meneed publishing the Monitor. and the
third time they have misrepresented
our circulation, although we each time
gave them the exact number Of quires
and sheets We printed, in figures as plain
as print, and signi6ed our willingness
to take their iron-elad oath on q stack Of
bibles as high as a meeting house. This
year we wrote them. at the time we fill

calling their attention to the previous

them to be-, and particularly and re-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Rhode Island Woman Suffrage
Association has passed some resolutions
on the Abby Smith business, which
would be sublime if they were not ridic-
ulous- But it IS ridiculous for any soci-
ETY. to resolve that woman who refuses
to pay her taxes because she isn't allow
ed to vote, is victim of persecution
because the law is enforced against her.
The resolutions welcome Abby and her
sister to the company Of those who dare
offer resistance to tyranny by deeds as
well as words" and compare them again
to the heroes Of 1875. Now this talk
about deeds, in the sense Of active or
passive resistance TO law, doesn't mean
anything or it means a good deal If
the company Of those who resist tyran-
NJ. propose to obtain the ballot BY
force. as Miss Anthony proposed to by
cheek, we may look for raid On State
Legislatures and such other desperate
deeds Of valor as may occur to Mrs.
Woodruff and the other dissatisfied sis
ters- A war Of sexes would be purely
American invention, aud besides would
90 far TO contradict the idea that women
never invent anything. But the Rhode
island Woman Suffrage Association pro
baby doesn't contemplate an active cam
paIgn at present, and hence 1t seems that
this talk about deeds" Is ridiculous
not sublime, as its authors fondIy be-
lieve 1t TO be When they convince their
husbands and brothers that they want
and ought to have the ballot, the women
Of America viii get 1t. but talk about
persecution" aud injustice and ..re-
sistance to tyranny" now strikes the ay-
erage American as very funny.

DEATH THE sIAmEsE TWINS

The Siamese Twins died at Greensboro
North Carolina, on Saturday. Jan. II.
Chang was partially paralyzed last fall,
since which time he has been frptful
and strongly addicted to drinking liquor
as means of alternating his sufferings.
As soon as it was discovered that Chang
was dead Eng became terribly shocked
and raved wildly for time, at times
exhibiting signs Of great mental abera-
ton. This attack was followed by a
deadly stupor. In two hours from the
death of Chang, Eng died. The deaf
mute children of the deceased expressed
their sorrow and bereavement IN the
most pitiful manner.
1t is rare that the public feel relief
to hear that two persons have died, in
stead of one, but that will be the case
wherever the death of the Siamese Twins.
shall be heard. 1t has long been a
problem with scientific men, and a mys-
terry to others, what effect the death of
one of these twins would have on the
survivor and we need not recall the
horrible suggestions to which the spec
ulation has given rise. Nature, howev-
er, has settled the matter.
The twins were born in 1914, and
were therefore sixty-three years old.
Their history is well known to the public
although they have lived very quietly
IN North Carolina for several wears.
1t is possible that if a skillful surgeon
had been present after the death Of
Chang and had severed the ligament
that Eng would have lived, for the most
eminent medical men of this country
and Europe have always held that they
were two beings having distinct segre-
gated and perfect organizations. and
that the severance Of the cartilaginous
band would be harmless.-Bostou .J0alrn.
