1t is pleasure for us to know that the .forts

ply the farmers OF this state with good goods at
fair prices is being appreciated We have
commended them to all parties seeking re-
liable place to send their orders in strong terms
and We have nothing to take back of what VIZ
have said. We think their system of doing
THE order business is as ar perfect as any W,
have yet seen, and the best aud most convinc-
ing proof any one can have is this fact, that the
parties who have tried it the most freely com
mend It the most highly. They are prepared
to do this business OH q scale that would sur
prise some Of the old fogies who are satisfied
with the prices and qualities Of the goods they
have had in years part. We were < ad to see
so large a number of the members OF the State
Grange looking through the establishment Of
Messrs. lngersoll & Co. last week, pricing
goods and looking up the matter as II they
meant business. Messrs Ingersoll & Co. carry
large stock the year round, and when one
case or twenty cases Of goods can be bought at
less than market prices they are jnst the men
to put dorn the cash for them and give their
customers the Leneft Of these lob lots

We are happy to announce that the
executive committee have perfected ar
engagements with G. A. Monfort & Co.
Of this city. to supply their necessities in
the grocery department in the same
manner that D. w. Ingersoll & Co. have
been supplying dry goods for the last
two years.
The committee are to be congratulate
ed on the judgment exercised in this
selection, for, and we say it without
casting amy reflections on other dealers
that in our judgment it was the best
possible selection that could be made in
the State. A house OF ample means and
one whose business record is of the
highest order.
We cheerfully recommend them to the
conidenbe OF the CHANGERS, and ask as a
favor that parties making purchases
from time to time report their success to
the AHTI-MOxOPoLIsr; SO that others
may profit by their experience.

emotion. l beg leave 10 return to you

YOU, one of the most gratifying that /
have received. I would indeed, be too
callous not to be highly flattered by an
address bearing names of the most
prominent and most es Unable of my fel-
low citizens.
My attachment to st. Paul. and to its
people at large, outside of all ecclesias-
teal relations. dates from an early period
of my lite. My boyhood days were in
st. Pnul. The fourteen years of my
ministry have been spent here. When
last spring, was on the eve OF being
removed to another field Of labor, felt
that my going away from st. Paul would
be a sacrifice .hich should make at the
cali OF obedience. Through the timely
intercession of Right Rev. Bishop Grace
the order for change was revoked, and
now to my own great satisfaction, as
long as God leaves me lite, ST. Paul il to
be my home. During all my labors in
the future. one Of my special aims shall
be to deserve the esteem and friendship
Of my fellow citizens, which from The

CongratuIatory Address ofthe Non-Cathoiic
Gentlemen Of St. Paul to Rt. Rev. John
ireland on the Occasion Of His Elevation
to the Episcopate.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Dec. 21st, 1875.
RI. Rev. JOHN IRELAND.
Dear Sir On the day of your conse-
Grafton as Coadjutor Bishop Of the Do
cess of st, Paul, the undersigned some
of your friends and neighbors OF the
Protestant population of St. Paul, desire
to express the pleasure which your re-
cent promotion has afforded us and the
people we represent. TWAS with uni
versal regret that we heard at one time
of the decision Of your church which
contemplated your removal from our
midst and it was with equal satisfaction
and pleasure that we heard of the subse
quent change Of policy which has result
ed in continuing your residence in st.
Paul, where your active benevolence
and usefulness have resulted in such
marvellous good to this community.
While tt is true that every good man
should feel amply rewarded for his good
deeds by the consciousness OF duty per-
formed and the satisfaction of seeing
the harvest ripening from the seeds he
has sown, it is equally true that every
people have the co-relative duty to ac
kno Wedge these good deeds, and stamp
upon them, the seal Of their praise and
appreciation, so that good examples
thus endorsed may speak more elo-
quently to all others to 90 and do like
wise.
We are therefore glad to testify to the
admiration and esteem which we enter
tain tor you whose devotion to duty has
always been maaked by a broad human
ity and Catholic spirit ample enough
in its scope to seek relief for suffering
wherever found and the elevation OF
fallen humanity by all practical means.
The days of bitter animosities for diff
erences of opinion upon religious mat
tiers have passed and been buried among
the errors OF the past. Let as hope that
the more genial spirit Of this progressive
age, may still further soften the asper-
tiles Of all good men and that all may
agree to worship God and to elevate
and purify humanity in the way
and manner most consonant with the
dictates ofconscience and duty, agreeing
upon the grand object, differing only in
the method and means in such a spirit
allow US to present to you as slight
testimonial of our feelings of friendship
and esteem copy Of the Encyclopedias
Britannica.
We are Bishop

Current Notes.

Let no man suppose that imitation is dead
as a political issue. Tine minority which
clamors for more greenbacks contains many
shrewd, active and unscrupulous workers,
who have risked too much on this issue to
withdraw after single defeat. They can
make great noise and are apt to terrfy
those who do not know them and their ways.
They will certainly continue their efforts, and
they are to be thwarted only by constant and
earnest work against their iDs:dious and igno-
BILE designs. Imitation is dead only when
specie payments are resumed.-Boston Id
Uertiser.
Tuesday was bad day for western Demo
cratic Presidential candidates. The reaper
whose name is death swung his little scythe
among them quite regardless" And he
fetched them, too.
From this day forth there is no room for
any one in the Republican ranks who palters
with the question of national honesty. His
place is With the Democratic infationists.
Nothing can be gained by lowering the stand
ard or attempting to compromise, by words
that mean anything and nothing. The time
has gone by for compromise, and the people
will have none of it.-Vew Hauen Palladium.
The duty of the Republican party in this
crisis is plain. Its work has been all ''cut
out' for it by Tuesdays event. 1t must nail

Wetrust Republicans everywhere " i'll adopt
contraction into their political creed. The
time for timidity has gone by, aud the time
for bold. pushing policy, and for move
ment in favor OF specie payment that means

has long been ripe for it; the West is little, il
at all, behind.-Boston Adoertiser.

WE grieve to notice that all of the Demo-
Gratis of Portland do not have that undying

THE Maine Standard in speaking of the
law passed by the last Congress relative to
the currency and the resumption of specie
payment says:
"lt (the law proposes 10 force out of existance
all government paper issues and supply the
vacuum with an unlimited amount of irredeem-
sort OF specie resumption which is TO take place
Jan. l, 1897
The editor of the Standard is a man of in
telligence and consequently knows that his
statement that the bill provides that an ire
deemable currency is to be substituted for
greenbacks, is false, utterly false. The bank
ing bill provides that the national bank cur
rency should always be redeemed in lawful
money or legal tenders. When the green
backs are retired the national banking bills
by law, must be redeemed in coin. Further
than that, for every 800 worth of bills issued
to national bank the government requires
the company to deposit in the treasury 800
worth of bonds payable principal and interest
in gold. 1t does seem as if 800 of gold bonds
should be sufficient to keep 800 worth of bank
currency from being irredeemable. Is the
Standard endeavoring to deceive and alarm
its readers?

TO THE
BONDHOLDERS
OF THE
New Jersey Midland Railway Co,

AS have been commissioned to lay before you a
plan for reorganizing the New Jersey Midland Rail
way Co. allow to call your attention to several
important points in said plan.
The = aS sT and principal point for your consid-
Grafton is that the purchasing Company guaran-
tees to every Bondhoder all rights and security that
is now covered by the present mortgages
SECOND.-It contracts to make one-third ~ of
your security marketable one, by giving Bond,
with Coupons, payable semi-annualy from date,
which make it equal in value to the price orig
naily paid; that this onethird will be equivalent
to tie price that you are now getting for the whole
amount.
THuED.-The balance, two-thirds a., is given
in First Mortgage 30-Year Bond, with Coupons,
payable at the option of the Company in cash or
First Mortgage Income Bond, which Bond is entitled
to all income to the amount of the Coupon attached,
after paying interest on the First Mortgage Bonds.
Under this plan, the Company will be able to meet
its obligations promptly.
URTH-The Purchasing Company propose
to pay off all prior liens now standing ahead of the
First Mortgage Bonds, and receive in payment for
such advances, the First Mortgage Income BONDS.
TIE Company feel justified in doing this, in
sideraon of the advantages to be derived by putting
the two Corporations into one Company.
FEETH.-Unpaid Coupons are converted into a
First Mortgage Income Bond, and all Junior securi-
ties and claims secured by the purchasing Com
pany as to their priorities.
If these points are clearly set forth and under
Stood it would be for the best interest of
cry bondholder-to place his security in improved
and marketable shape at once and by so doing re-
move the Company from its present uncertainties
and che Courts.
All persons desirous of joining in said plan or any
information concerning it, will be forwarded the doc
uments, by sending their post-oflce address to

THE Bangor Commercial is in anything
but an amiable mood. 1t savagely calls the
Boston Post to account for the few and hesi-
itating words of blame which that journal
has ventured to cast upon the Ohio Demo-
Gratis and their platform. The Commercial
declares that "there is not in the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform, from its beginning to the
end, one single syllable that can be tortured
into imitation" 1t then goes on to berate the
Post and the World for their course during
the canvass, and taunts the former paper on
the slim prospects of the Massachusetts De-
mocracy with their ''golden PLATFORM" Does
this TRADE mean that the Maine Democrats
in the party split so close at hand choose to
cast their fortunes with the Ohio wing? To
outsiders it looks as though the Commercial
in impugning the Democracy of the Post
and World, was squirting that way.
