ONE of the beautiful illustrations of
Democratic economy is in the preyen-
ton OF disabled soldiers from hereafter
procuring artificial arms and legs from
the United States surgeon general 5
department, the appropriation for this
purpose having been cut down to 500,
Co., which has been entirely eX-
haustcd, while not more than a
quarter of these entitled to its benefits
have been supplied. The deficiency
has been estimated at $3.50, 900. No
action can be taken in the cases OF
others until congress shall provide a
deficiency appropriation. The con-
federatc congressman, 10 doubt were
glad to prevent these manned soldiers
from receiving such faVors from the
government, under the false cry OF
economy, and at the same time Demo
cratic orators will try to induce them
to vote for TildCn!

Gov. HAYES services in the war are
thus unmmarizcd: "BctwCCn the be.
ginning of May and thc end of Octo-
Der 1864, Hayes was under fire sixty
days, and he was under fire on seven
hundred days in the course of the war.
He was four time wounded the sever
est wound being that received at
South Mountain. Vet the wound
from which he has suffered most is
hardly to be called wound at all. n
fragment of shell struck so close to
his knee as to cut his pantaloons clean
away at that point; he rode through
the day and never made anything OF
the affair, but now, after twelve years,
tAi5 mercy approximate hurt troubles
him mere than all the rest, especially
in going up stairs" Such devotion tc
the Union is deserving of the highest
reward-the Presidency of the United
States. Gov. Hayes would never suf
fer the old flag to be hauled down IN
dishonor.

THE Democratic iE rers are con-
stanlly telling their readers that If
Hayes should be elected President of
the United States bis administration
would be nothing more nor less
than continuation of that of Grants
and would be controlled by the
Chambers, Camerons, and Mortons.
There is nothing to warrant such an
assertion The administration Of
General Grant has been in many
things very successful, even if it has
not accomplished all that its most ar
dent friends anticipated. 1t would
not distress the country very much,
in our humble opinion, if Governor
Hayes, when he becomes President,
should continue to reduce the national
debt as General Grant has been doing.
nor would it be any detriment to the
nation ifhe would initiate the exam
pie Of the present incumbent of the
White House ly urging the resump-
ton of specie payments. Blu. m9y
not Republicans say with equal truth
and fairness that il Ii.GeI shall be
elected President his administration
will be mere continuance of James
Buchanan 5, with Jetf Davis, Toombs
and other rebel chieftains at its head?
Republicans may say that if we shall
have a Democratic ministration we
shall also have the Southern States
proclaiming secession, the war shall
have to be fought over again and the
nation will be thrown back in its pro-
gress a quarter of IA century. We be-
lieve Governor Hayes administration
will be his own, and that what
ever was praiseworthy in those of his
predecessors will be copied after, while
that which was blamable will be
avoided,

Every county in Maine was carried
by the Republicans for governor,
something unprecedented in the his
tory Of state elections. AS the returns
are received it becomes more apparant
that the vicory achieved by the Re-
publicans was one of the grandest on
record. The Democrats are trying to
console themselves for the punish
mcnt they received in this crushing
defeat, by declaring that at was not
much OF a shower.'' If they are salts
fled the Republicans certainly are.
Vermont and Maine show very clearly
the drift Of public sentiment in this
campaign.

Republican Financial Management.

We hear great deal of Democratic
bowling about eextravagance and
waste in all departments of the gov
crnment, and much complaint of the
burdens of taxation and the general
carelessness with which it is alleged
the government revenues are collected
and disbursed. The Democrats de-
clare that the efforts of the Republic
can party since the war have failed to
restore the national credit, and that
we have nothing to show for the i'm
mense expenditures which have been
constantly going on. a few figures
will show the utter folly and ignor-
ance displayed by such talk as this.
The following are exact details of the
yearly reduction of the public debt for
the last ten years:

winter and spring however, it became
apparent that majority Of the church
believed the position of the church UNI
scriptural, and desired to have the reso.
luton of 1927 resciuded, and at the reg
ular meeting for June, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were offered:
"wHEREAs. we. the members of the Baptist
Church Of Jamaica, VT, believing that the only re-
quiremeuts of scripture Tor admission into the
church are repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, followed by baptism and believing that the
former practice OF this church goes beyond and is
not in accordance with the requirements OF scrip
Resoiped That all votes, rules. and resolutions of
this church. disellOwshipping persons who are Free
Masons' and all votes rules, and resolutions MAKING
Free Masonry in any way q test OF membership, are
hereby rescinded, repealed. and forever abolished
Resotped, That the pastor of this church be. ana
hereby is instructed TO give cordial public invita-
tion at each communion season of the church, TO all
persons present who are mbers in good standing
OF sister Baptist ohurohe, to sit with us and partio
ipate in celebrating the Lords Supper"
At this meeting action was deferred
one month, and at the July meeting it
was again deferred, but at the meeting
ON the 9th of August, the matter was
brought to direct vote, and the resolu-
tons were passed by exactly three
fourths vote and we believe that this
correctly represents the feelings of the
church at this time.
Let me say, in conclusion, that as
many erroneous opinions have been
formed by statement of only part Of
the facts, / deem it due to all persons in
terested, and l respectfully ask, that any
editor or publisher desiring to note the
action of the church in any newspaper,
or periodical, shall print this article en-
tire, that all may know the entire facts
in the case. ]. o. L.

JAMAICA.
A BIT OF CHURCH HISTORY.

BIT OF CHURCH HISTORY.
AS there has been considerable said
and printed within the past few years in
regard to the position of the Baptist
Church of Jamaica upon the subject Of
Free Masonry, 1 propose, as briefly as
possible, to give history of the whole
matter.
In 1927, during the Morgan excite,
ment, this church, in common with many
others, passed a resolution disfellowship-
ing Free Masonry, although there were
no persons at that time members of the
church who were Masons. The Congre.
gational church took similar action at
that time, and excluded some who were
Masons. After the excitement had died
out, persons who were MasOns became
members of the church, although the
resolution remained as dead letter up
ON the records of the church. In the
years Of 1859 and go, during the pastor
ate of the Rev. Robert Myers, who was
a rabid anti-Mason, the matter was again
stirred up, and, by his influence, COM
mittee was appointed to search the re-
cords and report what action had previ-
ously been had in regard to the matter.
The committee reported the aforesaid
resolution, and Myers prevailed upon
the church to re-affirm that old resolu-
ton of 1927, and three persons who
were Mascns were excluded from the
church. Here let me digress to say that
the said Myers was afterward excluded
from the church for unchristian conduct
and other grave charges Since the time
of the exclusion of the three members
in 1860, until the present summer, no
action has been taken by the church up
ON the subject of Masonry or any other
secret society, although reports to the
contrary have been frequently circulated.
We wish it distinctly understood that
no vote upon any secret society has been
passed since 1860, until the present
month.
The church has neUer been unani-
nous upon the subject, nor anything
like It, notwithstanding the statements
that such was the case by those who
ought to have known better than to have
made such statements, but it has been
supposed, until recently, that majority
were in favor of continuing the resolu-
ton upon the records. During the past
