ONLY AN EMIGRANr.

ONLY AN EMIGRANT.
Only an emigrsnt lying there,
On tho rock bound coast of Halifax bay,
With the salt sea damp on his yellow hair.
And his face sghast In deaths dismayi
Only an emigrant! one Of five hundred,
Hurled to his doom whom some one blundered.
When the rich 60 down may reckon the COST
And value their lives at what they sre worth;
But who win weep for the emigrant lost
This clod Of olsy which numbered the earth
Drive the nails in his coffin lid,
And let his corpse from sight be hid.
But list, I pray. Leagues on leagues away,
In q turf thatched hut ON the Irish shore,
Thsre are human hearts which are breaking to day
And bright hopes dashed for evermore,
And eyes haJfbliRded with passionate tears.
And the dreary outlook of desolate years
Only an emigrant lying there,
Lifeless and mute in Halifax bay;
But his soul was strong. and his skies were fair
When he left his homs-a month to. day.
he fondled his child and kissed his wife,
Ere he sought now scenes in tho battle of life
Brawny his hands and brave his heart.
And hrm his belief that the hour voald come
when those with whom he dreaded to part
Should join him again In Q Western home,
Hopeful and happy. aad rich and free.
In better land beyond ths ssa.
Only an emigrant's family there
In the Irish home whore the news has sped;
But the terrible look Of utter despair
Makes the face Of the living sad 40 the dead;
Fer the light of their lives went ont that day,
When the ship struck tho rocks In alifax bsv.
Only an emigrant lying there,
With his parted lips grown asken grey,
With the ses damp on his yellow hair,
And his face aghAst in deaths dlsmayi

It was the glorious epoch, that of the
Peninsular War! Nine tenthe of the
names embroidered in golden letters on
our regimental colors were won in the Ave
years intervening between 1909 and 1914.
Ine story OF that time has still power to
recall to us memories full of the elories of
battles won from Napoleon's greatest Can
tains, of sieges in which the terrible yaIor
OF our soldiers was pre- eminent, of march
es and feats of endurance never paralleled
IN our modern history, before or since.
Bat though the battles of the Peninsular
war, and still more the crowniDg victory
| of Waterloo, are household names among
| us, we have wholly lost eight of a face
that at the time did much to inf luence the
National joy over our victories chat fact
was our lopg-continued failure in apy
port1on OF Europe to oppose the legions of
tne hepu6ilc or of the Empire. On the |
coast of France, in the low countries. In
Flanders, in Sicily, in Corsica, in Naples.
at Genoa, we had utterly failed to main. /
tain our own attacks. In Egypt, alone. |
mad our land forces been successful, and in |
Egypt every element of success was on
oor SIDE. From 1898 to 1909, we had not
single result to show on the Continent of
Europe for the S300, ,00O, 900 which we had
added to the national debt in that period.
Oor expeditions to France, Spain. Portn
gai' Holland, Italy and Corsica, had all
ended 10 complete failure. It was on this
ecoou nt that the victories of the following
years appeared 60 glorious. The nation
laith in it's army had reached it's lowest
ebb, and the reaction Of victory was pro-
portionstely great.
But the greatness of the success in Spain
and at Waterloo, did much toward hiding
rom view, then and since, the actual 9
osses we sustained. When we here state
nat our entire loss in killed in Spain, I
9ortugsl and Flanders, including ali the =
'attles, engagements, skirmishes, seges
nd sorties, did not amount to the loss in y
sftted suffered by tho Germans in the two
attles of Gravelotte and Sedan-we state "
fact which will doubtless astonish many q
eaders. Yet it is nevertheless true. A y
tatement of our actual losses daring the d
ears from 1903 to 1915, inclusive, will be o.
ead with interest in these days of breach. a. ~

But from this total must be taken .37s,
the number of fereiRn soldiers killed in
our service, leaving 1876 as the entire loss
IN Killed during the whole war in Spain
and Portugal, together with that of O aart-
re Bras and Waterloo. Six thousand men

half the Russian loss at Eylau less than
the RassIan loss before Plevna less than
half the French dead at Waterloo.

The Albany EUening Journal, in an
article on the proposed Republican can
vass in the Southern States. expresses
the following sensible views:
"This proposed canvass in the South
should be conducted with great judgment
and prudence. 1t should be placed in
the hands of the strongest and most sa.
gacious men. That field is no arena for
ranters or hot-spurs. On the contrary,
it calls for leaders of sagacity, ability
and character-for men like General
Garfield or General WOodford or Eugene
Hale, who know how to talk to the
Southern people Of all classes without
trucking, but at the same time with
moderation, reason and fairness. What
should be the general spirit of their ut
terance is plain The Republican party
makes no war upon the South or her In.
terests we have no hostility or ill-will
to the Southern people; we only main
tain that the settlements Of the Consti
tuition shall be fairly accepted, and We
frankly say that the best guarantee o.
this will be to keep their administration
in the hands that made them we insis
that the equal rights of all citizens shall
be respected, and if we accord to you o
the South all your rights and privileges
we simply demand that you shall accOrt
the same to the humble black Republi
cans by your side if you are honestl,
and sincerely for Cancellation and good
will, this shall be the test.

confidence, and to give guaranty of Fl.
deity and honor, faithful service and
high craftsmanship?
The crisis is upon US, and it is high
time the long roll should be beaten and
the ranks closed up. 1t is an hour
fraught with danger to the country and
its institutions. At such a time is it
safe to send to Congress person of Mr..
Barlow's character and antecedents-an
eleventh-hour Republican, who afiliates
with Democrats and is warmly support
ed by them? What the people and the
times demand is true Republican, and
not a pinchbeck one; Republican by
birth and breeding; a Republican by
sympathy and conviction, and not by
desire for pelf and place; Republican
who could at all times and in all places
and under all circumstances be depend
ed upon to reflect the sentiments of the
party and of his constituents. Of Re-
publicans of the Barlow stamp, and of
politicians of the Barlow. Tweed Tilden
variety (for Mr.. Barlow's canvass is a
compound of the tactics of the two last
named Democratic statesmen) there is
already an elegant suficiency; let us
have an upright man and genuine Re-
publican.
Of the result there should be no doubt
for we have confidence in the people
and in the ultimate triumph of princi
pie. But it behooyes the honest men o.
this District to be up and doing. Every
thing that the lavish use of money, the
most adroit wire-pulling, and every kline
of trickery could do, has been done by
Mr.. Barlow and his followers, and i;
still being done. But let the people
(the great mass of whom are unaltera
bly, opposed to Mr.. Barlow's candida
ture) attend the primaries and vote &C
cording to their principles, and all viii
be we'll. Not less thus than on a blood
stained battlefield will be obtained ;
triumph of principle and of eternal right

There is considerable dissatisfaction
with the way the Caledonia county con-
vention was "run," but we hardly see
what good will result from a bolt or
from scolding. While Mr.. Ide and Mr..
Preston were very capable and worthy
officers, it cannot be said that Mr.. Car
ter and Mr.. Sulloway are men who will
naturally do discredit to the Offices. Mr..
Carter has good reputation in Hard
wick, and Mr.. Sulloway is said to be a
very faithful and efficient officer. He
is esteemed highly enough in Wheelock
to represent that town in the Legislature.
AS to the other nominees, we presume
they are full an average with those who
have heretofore served in the places for
which they are nominated. The only
particularly bad thing we can see about
it is the presumed fact that there was a
''ring" that run the convention accord.
ing to pre-arranged plans. The out ly-
ing towns are little envious toward St.
Johnsbury, and probably conspired tc
beat that town in the convention. Mr.
Ide and Mr.. Preston will not suffer by
being left off the ticket, and if the othel
gentlemen do not meet the expectation
of their friends, they will be cast over
board at the next convention. Voter
ought to make it impossible for a rim,
to manage any political matters of i'm
portance

Some of the smaller New England
colleges are still living beyond their
means, with the result of annual piteous
appeals for aid in making up their def
cheney. Dartmouth is now before the
State Legislature with an appeal for aid
out of the public treasury, and Williams
closes the present year with an income
of only $4,000 to meet expenses of
$4,000. The case of the smaller col
leges is certainly hard one. Obliged
to compete with the larger and wealth.
er schools at every point of equipment,
they are subjected to expenses quite out
of proportion to their limited number of
students. They cannot be expected un-
der the circumstances to become fully
self-supporting in the common sense.
They must be endowed with sufficient
Independent capital. The desirability
of continuing and perpetuating these old
and honored colleges is standing claim
upon Christian benefcence which should
not be disallowed. But we confess to a
feeling of some surprise that man so
committed to the principle of unsectari-
an uses of public funds as President
Bartlett of Dartmouth College should be
heard of as before committee of the
New Hampshire Legislature pleading
for State grant in aid of the institu-
ton over which he presides. His argu-
ment, which we have read with interest,
is an effective one, and it would carry
great weight but for one single and in
surmountable fact. The better sense OF
the community has settled it as law OF
expediency that public moneys should
be given to no institution standing upon
a sectarian religious basis. II may be
urged that Dartmouth College is not
sectarian, and, from one point of view,
it is not; but looking at the question
broadly, it is; it is certainly Protestant
and we take it Evangelical; and gift
to it as asked for could not be justified
by those who believe that all institutions
administered in the interest of relig.
ious party should look out for them
selves Christian Union.

THE DISTRICT CANVASS.

The questions of the hour are few and
simple. Stripped of all extraneous cir
cumstances, they are just these:
Shall this District be represented in
Congress by an honest man?
Shall we be represented by a Repub-
lican-one who has summered and win
tered with the party, and who is thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of It's
principles ?
With every session of Congress, and
its too frequent accompaniment of in6n-
itesimal pettiness, of doubtful legisla-
ton, of appearance, at least, of corrup-
ton, of general low tone, there comes
up from the people cry of indignation,
swelling from Maine to California, and
general jubilation when the final ad-
journment is had. The low tone'of ma
ny of our public men, the yawning
depths of corruption now and then ex-
posed for moment. the hasty and su-
perfcial legislation transacted at Wash
ington-all these are things in respect
to which there is profound and deep
seated public discomfort. The remedy
is not far to seek. 1t is simply to send
better material to Washington to make
our laws for us send men who would
be "unawed by influence and unbribed
by gain" whose personal character the
faintest breath of suspicion never touch
ed /; who, with broad views and elevated
craftsmanship, would unite those ster
ling qualities that have made Vermon
the synonym of integrity and upright
ness. What is to-day more demanded
in our public life than any other quail
ty is the simple Anglo-Saxon virtue o
honesty-honesty of mind, of act and o
purpose virtue much rarer, be it not
ed. than is sometimes thought. Can an
one say that Bradley Barlow fills all tn
requirements of the situation? Are hi

performances such as to inspire popula

KEEPING Roses IN BLooM.-As soon
as they have formed their first flowers in
the open ground, pinch off the end of the
first shoot, and as soon as the rose is
fully opened, pinch it off, No rose
should be left to fade upon the bush, as
when SO left it exhausts the plant in the
formation of seed. AS the plants grow,
pinch back the ends of the shoots when
they have grown six inches, and rub out
all puny shoots. thus keeping the plants
in rounded open bush form. If strong
shoots alone are left to grow. they will
soon control the strength of the plant,
and the flowers will be few and often of
imperfect form. Should the season be

or sawdust, or moss from the woods,

inches deep. and at night watered thor

We are to have week or two more

We are to have week or two more
of hot work in regard to congressional
candidate from the third district, and
then we hope to see the matter set at
rest for the present. The battle is fierce
along the whole line, and there is some
uncertainty as to the result to-day. We re-
gret that either candidate should under
take to thrust himself upon the people,
by the means that have been used by a
candidate who is prominent in this cam
paign. We may be mistaken, but we
believe there are a hundred men, at
least, in the district that would as soon
have been sought out as candidates as
Mr.. Barlow; and yet, two years ago and
very early last spring, his name was
foisted upon the public as candidate.
1t is well known that from that day to
this, every means has been taken to puff
his good qualities, and cram him down
the judgments of an unwilling public.
Who supposes that he would to-day have
any following outside of a few personal
friends, if an extraordinary effort had
not been made to get him into notoriety,
and to force him upon the public Who
believes that Mr.. Barlow, without the
aid Of manipulation, could have carried

COMMUNE MADNESS.


Our Western exchanges bring us de-
tails of the raid upon improved farm.
machinery in Ohio and Indiana. 1t is
altogether one the most remarkably
short-sighted and fendish exhibitions
which the communistic craze has so far
presented. Multitudes of mowers and
reapers, left standing in the field over
night. have been found utterly demol-
ished in the morning. Flaming and
bellicose warnings have been issued by
the lawless vagabonds, commanding
farmers to abstain from using such i'm
plements, and threatening vengeance
upon those who refuse or neglect to COM
ply. The result is that large numbers
of farmers have housed their reapers for
protection, and gone to work in the old
fashioned way to gather in their harvest
as best they may. There is no palliation
whatever for this outrageous attack
upon the farmers. 1t is a blow that
strikes the poor man, the mechanic and
the laborer, harder than it does the man
of means, for the latter can better afford
to pay higher prices for food. 1t is a
blow which if repeated and generally
extended throughout the West, would
recoil upon every Eastern purchaser Of
food. And the officials of Ohio and In,
diana owe a solemn duty to the public
to bring every offender to justice and
protect the farmers in their essential
rights Wotchman.

Gen. Sheriden is to be sent into the
"Indian country" to direct operations
against the hostile redskins, but it is
not officers who are wanted there so
much as men. There are in the field a
dozen officers of experience. either one of
whom is capable of conducting the CAM
paign, but our soldiers are few. and
scattered over districts as large as an
Europeon empire, and the Indians are
shrewd enough to operate where there
are fewest soldiers. Why the army is
weak the reports of the proceedings in
Congress will show the results of that
weakness already, are the loss of many
lives. and the breaking up of prosperous
settlements, and there is fear of still
greater sacrifices before troops can be
concentrated at the points where they
are needed. The soldiers, as soon as
the opportunity is afforded, will settle
their long account with the savages, and
the allies of the Indians, whose acts
have encouraged them to begin war. will
in due season be brought to judgment.
