DIR. SCHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures OF Con-
sumption than any other remedy known 10 the
American public. They are compounded u vegct-
able ingredients, and contains nothing which can
be Injurious to the human constitution. other
remedies advertised cures for consumption
drobably contains opium, which Is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and taken freely by
consumptive patients 1t must bo great injury for
its tendency is to conne the morbid matter In the
system which, of course, must make cure imposs-
ible. Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain darticale Of opium: lts composed OF
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver stomach and blood, and thus correci
all morbid secretions, md expel all the diseased
matter from the body. Thease are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
schenck's Pumornic Syrup, Sea W9ed, Tonic, ano
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which op
crate in this way, it is obvious they are the only

COST OF THE INDIAN SERVICE

The Indian appropriation bill, passed by
the last congress, directed the commissioner
of Indian affairs to prepare a statement of
the disbursements of the department for
the year ending June 80, 1876, and he has
accordingly prepared such a statement
showing, also, the number of Indians con-
nected with each agency together with
the salaries and incidental expenses Iaid
thereat. 1t appears that the total amount
expended is nearly six millions of dollars
1868, 7G0. 74-for the benefit of two hun
dred and twelve thousand nine hundred and
twenty-one Indians. The amount of
salaries paid superintendent, agents and
employees, including travelling expenses"
was over six hundred thousand dollars,
while there was paid for the support of
schools and "to promote civilization" less
than one hundred and thirty-five thousand
dollars. The travelling expenses" were
nearly Of the same amount as the payments
''to promote civilizations" the schools and
civilization process were at the rate of about
OLAF -tNO SSuto an
while the salaries and travelling expenses"
were at the rate of nearly three dollars an
Indian. And yet the Red Cloud commits
sion complain because the Indians,
especially the Sioux, are not becoming
self supporting, civilized and christianized
fast enough, and recommend that the goY-
eminent see if it cannot ''promote civili-
cation by the judicious use of threats,
and, then if these Indians do not become
civilized, christianized and self supporting.
that the force necessary to make them so
be used. Admitting the wisdom of the
recommendation and the reasonableness of
covering savages to civilization and chris
tanity by the free use of the bayonet, the
rest is easy enough, for the Indians would
soon become self supporting by making
them Indian agents, superintendents, etc. +,
at the rate of payment reported.

upon the subject Of his illness. He said
that on his late journey from Massachu-
sets to Washington he called upon one of
the most eminent physicians in New York.
He was assured that his old trouble, paral-
ysis, had entirely disappeared, but that
there existed an unfavorable condition of
the spine. The physician said that he
could treat the disease, but that it would
be severe. The vice president gave con-
sent After ether had been poured along
the spine for many minutes, hot irons were

passed he felt relief. The day of his at

Death of Jonathan Randall, ESQ.

We would that the grave should not
close over our friend Randall, without
a passing memorial tribute. Born in
Concord, N. H., in 1901, he came to Paw
let in 1917, and would have completed his
seventy fourth year had he lived until Nov.
90. He was prominent and honored cit
izel through this long period, true type
of Vermont citizenship, independent and
selt-reliant. He held the office of justice
thirty five years, and from time TO time
most other town offices. This shows the
esteem in which he was held as in his po-
litical views he differed from the majority
of the people. He Joined the lodge of
Free Masons at an early day and was de-
votedly attached to the institution. He
was secretary of Hiram lodge, one of the
Oldest lodges in the state at the time of its
suspension in 1884, and was, believe, it's
last surviving member. The archives and
records of the lodge were in his hands. He
leaves widow but no children. II. II.

A vast amount of rhetoric has been
wasted, profound knowledge of law has
been displayed and due care taken of the
public morals, by decrying the so called
q" settlement by which the Winthrop,
Maine, savings bank recovered portion of
their stolen effects. 1t was a good text to
preach upon, but, unfortunately for the
preachers, it was an unfounded one. The
trustees of the bank compounded no felony,
they compromised with no criminals, and
the court allowed of no such thing. They
simply paid reward for the recovery of
their property the court prohibited them
from compromising the felony and no
promise of immunity from prosecution
was made or even limited at. Should the
burglars be discovered, the trustees are
ready to prosecute, and the court, on con.
viction, to inflct the penalty.

1T CAN BE DONE.

1t is idle to argue the use, advantages
and benefits of public libraries and reading
rooms, for, at this day, if one is not con-
WINGED thereof, he could not be persuaded
though one should rise from the dead for
that purpose. 1t is, however, pertinent
subject of inquiry whether the town or
village of Rutland have the ability TO es-
tablish library and reading room and to
support the same. We have, this morning,
time only to refer to two considerations
bearing upon this question. First-What
has been done can be done. When, Con
necticut had population of only sixteen
thousand, Yale college and its library were
founded, ty several clergymen holding
meeting, each giving number of books
and saying, as they placed them on table:
81 give these books for the founding of
college in this colony" From that hum
BILE beginning, we have Yale college with
her splendid library of over one hundred
thousand volumes. Rutland, to-day, has
nearly as large population as Connecticut
then had, with wealth an hundred fold in
excess, can we not evince the same energy,
determination and public spirit ? In our
own state, we zee Pittsford, New Haven
and other towns, our interiors in popula-
ton and wealth, yet able to sustain, and
actually sustaining, public libraries shall
we allow them to outstrip Rutland in
knowledge, culture and refinement? The
advantage is with us, let the benefit be
also. What has been done can be done.
We find no difficulty here in Rutland of
raising by voluntary contributions hundreds
and thousands of dollars for Fourth of July
celebrations, fremen's musters, and other
entertainments only please few
for day, and can we say that it Is impos-
sible to secure few thousand dollars Tor
public library, which will be source of
pleasure and profit to the many, to all, for
all time to come 1t is not impossible. 1t
only requires energy and determination.
The town of Rutland has population ex-
ceeding ten thousand, of whom there are at
least fifteenlhundred- very small estimate
indeed, when we consider that there are
over one thousand families in this village
alone-who are able, and ought to be will.
ing, to pay at least five dollars for such q
purpose, and all of whom are so located
that library would be easy of access. II
only half of this number should contribute
five dollars each, fund of three Thousand
seven hundred and fifty dollars would bt
the result, and should this be contributed
it would be doubled or trebled within three
weeks by those who are able, and would
be willing,to give from ten to five hundred
dollars each, to say nothing of the still few
er number who might be expected to b.
heard from among the thousands of dollars
We believe the same result would follow
from much smaller membership, and i
Rutland with her over ten thousand popu
lation and over five millions of wealth
knowing as it does the need and value of
public library, allows the present opportu
nifty to pass, it will be burning shame
We believe, however, that Rutland has tn
will as well as the ability-and now is tn
opportunity.

ECONOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF
THE TREASURY,

While not letting up in his campaign
against crooked whisky, Secretary Bris-
tow finds time to inaugurate measures
looking to more economical administra-
ton of the affairs of bis department-and
there is room enough for the practice of
economy. 1t appears that while the re-
ceipts from customs have fallen from
$21S, ,2s7 in 1872, to $157, 1877, 1927 in
lS75-that is for the fiscal year ending
June 30, of these years-the cost OF
collecting the same has increased from &c.
$50, 100 in 1879, to STOPS, 433 in 1S75-an
increase of over seventy-eight thousand dol
lars in collecting revenue decreased in
amount by over fifty-nine millions of dol
lars or over twenty-five per cent. During
the first four months of the present fiscal
year-July, August, September and Dc
tober-the customs chow continued fall
ing off. being some three millions of dol
lars less than the corresponding months OF
last year, and 80 the secretary has com
menced to retrench. To this end, he hai
instructed the collectors at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Or
leans and San Francisco to reduce thei
working expenses fifteen per cent, the or
der to take effect December /, but tn
manner of reduction to be discretionar,
with them. This is to be followed by
reduction of expenses at all the other Gus
tom houses in the country in manner L
be directed by the secretary. A saving o
something over million of dollars will b
effected in this way-a mere drop in tn
bucket TO be sure, but good beginning.
The receipts from internal revenue hav
also decreased from $l3O,642, l77.72 /
1879, to $l1O,545, 154 in 1s75-which, how
ever, was an increase of some eight mi
lions over that of lS74-but the cost Q
collection has been constantly diminishing
