New England Self-Reliance,

Letter of Ex-Congressman W. A. waddell, of
North Cardinal
If there is one characteristic more universal
ly apparent than another among the New Eng
land people, it is self-dependence in every
thing. 1t is, to Southerner, more observable
in the women, because less expected there, but
the woman who does not display this charac-
teristic is the exception in her neighborhood
1t may be said with entire accuracy that If any
person in that country wants anything done
that person does it, unless it requires more
than one, and the rule holds good with all
ages, classes and sexes. Whenever 'help" is
meraries, and there is absolutely no waste.
Ono family in the South, of given condition
as to means, will waste more than ten families
of like condition in Vermont. OF course there
are exceptions to these general statements, but
they are not numerous. The absence of male
walters at the hotels and eating-hous in Ver-
mont is one of the things that first strike a
stranger. Unless perhaps we except an occa-
sional superintendent of a dining-room, it is
questionable if there is male hotel waiter in
the State; and, what still more forcibly strikes
a Soutberner, is the fact that, in many in
stances, the handsome young lady who waits
on him is graduate and very possibly the
daughter of some prominent citizen of "the
village" as most of the towns are called,
which accounts for the slender appetite of
young men from the South upon their first ar
rival in the Green mountains, and its phenom-
email development, as illustrated by their pro-
longed stay at table ever afterward. Cleanli-
ness in household matters is sort of religion
with the people, and if man should contine
himself strictly to the food served at his own
home, he would have to live very long time
before he could eat the traditional peck of dirt.

He stalked in early YESTERDAY morning.
One could see that he had something on his
mind, and that he intended to have justice if
it broke his neck. Walking up to one of the
windows in the long railing he boldly de-
manded:
II want to know of some of you folks in here
If the river dried up last night?"
1t was long time before anyone replied.
Then one of the clerks said that while it was
barely possible that such an event had taken
place he had received no direct information to
that effect.
''Oh, you haven't! Then perhaps your old
pumping works have been blown up?''
"Maybe so, but it seems as if they would
have telephoned down.
'Well, then, as the river didn't dry up and
the pumping works are all right, how happened
it that couldn't get any water at nine o'clock
last EVENING""
"Cold or hot?"
"Cold, Of coursei Who said anything about
hot water?''
"Then you couldn't get any?"
Didn't say couldn't! pay my water
tax, and as ratepayer, taxpayer and a citi-
zen l demand my rights. Now, sir, why
couldn't get any water at my house last even

"It wouldn't run, eh?'
"Wouldn't run! Why blast your earsl
Haven't been telling you that it wouldn't

"In what part of your house?" absently
queried the clerk.

you couldn't have got it,"
"No, couldn't; and want to tell you right
here and right now that 1 figure my damages
at 500.
"One hundred" replied the clerk, as he
marked the figures in pencil on the desk.
"Yes, sir, and won't pay my next quarters

won't pay next quarters tax" wrote the
clerk
"And you take notice that if this thing hap

''Perspire," suggested the clerk.

SAYS the New York Times, '1f man
who has beaten his wife is in turn seized by
unfeeling officers of the law, tied to re-
voting whipping-post, and beaten by a lash
in the hands of a deputy sheriff, his sense
of self-respect will be fatally injured. He
will feel that he has been degraded not o. ly
in his own estimation, but in that of his
fellow men. When his self-respect has been
thus outraged, and he has been degraded in
the opinion of the world, how can we ex-
pect that he will ever become leading and
respected member of the community? What
we ought to do with the person who has in
adyertently, or perhaps in a moment of
temporary strength beaten his wife, is to
sympathize with him; to develop all that is
manly and noble in him, and to say or do
nothing which can by any possibility lead
him to suppose that he has sunk in our esti-
nation" This is the sort of reasoning that
we in Maine apply to inebriates.

Query and Comparison.

There have been, in this State, many pro-
tracted and some angry discussions about
the penalty for murder-whether it ought
to be hanging or imprisonment for life. But
at the bitterest moment of the bitterest dis
cussion, when the Legislature was hesitat-
ing and very few votes would decide the
measure, we do not recall that the advocates
prisonment of feeling ''a secret sympathy"
for the assassin, of desire to protect them
selves whenever their time to commit muir
der came, Of a wish to 60 out and kill some
body at once. 1t was generally agreed that
the object of all was to do,away with murder
aud to punish the murderer. The question
was not about the object to be achieved, but
about the best means to be taken to achieve
that object.
Murder, up to the time when ex-senator
rum-selling, had been considered ''the gi-
gantic crime of crimes" Does the shifting
of definition necessarily do away with the
courtesy of debate? There is difference
of opinion concerning the best method of
doing away with rum-drinking, as there is
with the best method of doing away with
murder. As to the punishment for murder,
our people have come to the conclusion that
the lighter penalty WORKS best, diminishing
crime, and making the conviction of the
guilty more certain. Yet the people of
Maine are not called "Thugs" for reaching
that conclusion. In discussing the liquor
traffic many have advanced the opinion that
lighter penalties would result in more fire.
quent convictions. Yet for this they are
called 'sRummies''
Why is it that the Temperance question
cannot be discussed as temperately as the
Murder question?
