as his position was worse. They could
sell, he could not; for, when the rumor
was spread that his name had been used to
float dishonest company, it became in
cumbent on him to retain his entire inter-
est. No statement of his announcement,
no intelligence that might reach him of the
ACCESSIBILITY OF selling out, conld be acted
on by him. II the company sank he had
to go down with it, for his retreat was bar
red. And this was the alleged bride, this.
the inducement for which the general had
left his name to n swindlel
And here arises another point in this
strange chapter Of decisions. Mr. Park,
aided by Mr.. Stewart, the Senator from
Nevada, came to London, as is now gen.
orally supposed, to palm off on the British
public worthless mine at a high figure.
One of their first victims, however, is not
an Englishman; they go straight for the
American minister, statesman of high
character and influence, who to his honor
was poor, after having for years held one
OF the most important posts Ia the United
States, that of chairman Of the committee
on ways and means and leader of the House
OF Representatives, in which if open to un-
due influence, he could with ease have real
lied fortunes,-a soldier, too, who had serv-
ed with distinction, and shed his blood for
the integrity Of his country.
This exemplifes the absurdities-wbich
people accept without weighing-with which
the case abounds if it be taken for granted
that Park and Stewart believed the mine TO
be worthless when they offered 1t in Lon
don, and if Gen. Schenck believed it TO be
worthless when he bought the shares. Al
ready, some of these absrrdites have been
exposed In our columns, and it would be
well TOR those connected with the mine who
have wrongs to right, to get at the facts
and not to be deluded and misled.
But whatever may be the truth as regards
these intrigues, even if there be two wrongs
the wrong of the promotion and the
wrong of the present prosecuton-they
cannot make right, in the persecution Of
General Schenck, who simply invested
$4,000 in this mine on the advice of his
friend Senator Stewart, who had made his
fortune in the silver mining state, and was
supposed to he an authority. Unfortu-
nately he was L nited States minister, aud
incautiously, allowed his name to be used
by the promoters of the company. That
indiscreiion, coupled with the fact that the
money had been lent by the VENDOR led to
the supposition that the envoy had acted
under undue influence, which, uBcontra-
dicted, hardened, in the failure of the en-
terprise, into scandalous and cruel impu-
tation on the character of a public man,
who ought everywhere to be held in respect
and who will hereafter, when the story is
generally known-ss eventually it must be

DAILY AND WEEKLY GLOBE.
vERM0Nr's LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, commemorating the compile.
ton OF the first century OF our independence
and witnessing the election of president and,
for the first time In our history, an entire ma
tional house OF representatives, will be one OF
splendid possibilities both to Journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE will avail itself OF the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full I;
by impartial comments on the news of the
hour by candid, honest discussion OF the is
sues of the day by full reports OF local occur
rences, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
ports, and by selections both grave and gay.
In word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE live newspaper, indispensable TO the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student. to the office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly in store for It, we shall on our part,
as In times past, advocate the principles and
policy OF the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make II better and purer by combating It's
errors and exposing the wrong.doers In Its
ranks. We shall favor and strive for real ad.
ministrative reform, speedy return TO specie
payments, an honest maintenance of the ma.
lions plighted faith purer and better politics,
a faithful and economical administration OF the
government, municipal, state and nationals and
shnll support only honest capable men for
office.
AS an earnest Of the future,w can only point
to our course In the past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
dcavOr to make THE GLOBE better and better,
and more md more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month. What The GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF its
existence Is well known, that 1t has been fully
appreciated It's generous support amply attests.
AS n medium or advertising, THE GLOBE is I'M
surpassed in Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation exceeds that OF any other
daily and weekly newspaper in Vermont the
circulation OF the daily is equal to that of any
other daily in Vermont the circulation OF THE
WEEKLY GLOBE is much larger than the combined
circulation Of all the other ireekly Newspapers in
Rutiand county and is more than one-half
larger than that OF any other weekly journal in
western Vermont. Advertisers make note OF
thls,and OF the further fact that 1t is the largest
journal In the state.

THE LUCKY PENNY.

THE LUCKY PENNY.
"a Fairy Tale OF Denmark.)
by JOHN O. SAKE.
AS Paul and Peter-two young lads
Who served a knight OF high degree
Were talking OF their masters wealth,
And wishing they were rich as he,
All suddenly the younkers saw
fairy In their presence stand;
"Good morning !" civllly she said.
Ana placed purse in Peters hand.
This little purse" quoth she, contains
"A silver Penny-nothing more
Which ever to your hand VIII yield
Silver and gold In ample store,
But II you take the penny out,
Remember from that fatal hour
foull mud It's but q common purse,
with nought OF money breeding power p
Then turning TO the other lad,
She said $50, learn some useful trade
For so-rememoer my advice
Your fortune VIII be surely made !"
Now, while the lads were ponderlng this.
With much amaze-as well they might
All suddenly-as she had come
The Fairy vanished out OF sight.
Now Paul apprenticed to smith,
An honest, sklful workman grew;
But barely gained competence
De pite the best that he could do;
While Peter. with his magic purse.
Took up the huckster's thrifty trade;
And soon-so fast his wealth increased
A splendid fortune he had made.
At length, aweary OF the toll
His wealen in wasteful luxury,
AS II his riches had no end.
Not SO his wife-a careful dame
Who, planning for rainy day,
Within the crevice OF u log
Vast sums OF money hid away.
The secret OF her golden hoard,
She kept, for yeas, with watchful care,
When, OF a sudden, falling Ill,
The woman died, without an heir
And Peter, dazed with drink and dice
And waxing daily worse and worse,
Cared nothing for the future. Why?
lie trusted IN his magic purse.
Alas one day, while drinking deep,
To crown q luckless gaming bout
He threw his purse upon. the board,
And emptied all the pieces out,
The Lucky Penny with the rest;
And though. next day, he fain had bought
The Penny Dack-'twas n yer iound-
And so his purse was good for naught
'Twere sad to tell how Peter fell
In worldly wealth and manly PRIDE
Till-growIng ever worse ana worse
In want and IN sery he died.
And how Jared Paul Though working hard
HIS wife and children TO maintain,
As happy as the day was long
None ever heard the man complain
"Yet, for the children's sake he said,
81 wish had triile more -
And as he spoke he saw a log
Float down the stream beside his door
He quickly drew the waif to land,
Exclaiming, "rhs Is luck indeed
This piece OF oak viii serve TO make
The anvil block soIely need"
Now fastened in the Oaken log
heavy iron wedge he found.
He knocked IL out !; and 10 there fell
A shower Of gold upon the ground
II was the same the woman hid,
Some part Of Peters wea til 10 save;
And dying suddenly, she bore
Her golden secret TO the grave.
ow,when three years had passed and gone
Though everywhere the tale was known
PRul's treasure-tiove arose to claim,
BY law the gold became his own
And then he knew how hind and true
The Fairy's words, "Go learn q trade
For thus-remember what say
Your fortune Will be surely made !"

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. II NJ
The President has called a special
meeting Of the Cabinet to devise
suitable action In connection with
the death OF Vice President Will
son. The Cabinet met at 1890
O'Clock. This .is the second in
stance In the history of the Gov
ernment where a Vice President
of the United States has died dur
ing his term of office. Vice Presi-
dent King, who died in Cuba, was
the first. There Is no precedent
for action by the President and
Cabinet on an occasion like this,
hence the call for a special meet
ing of the Cabinet. AS soon as
the Cabinet adjou: ms the Presi-
dent will make public the course
of action decided upon.
