and would help him. His story-if
true-is hard one.
For the last twenty years, "more or
less" Middlebury has been blessed
with q musical club or association of
some kind. The Choral Society was
the largest and most successful of these,
but was disc ontinued on account of the
indifference of the members. The
Euterpe club was also a power in mn.
steal circles, and that too Is a thing of
the past. But the power and influence
of music, and the talent of local de-
votes, cannot be smothered for any
long period, and 80 new organization
comes TO the front. There is no name
TO IL yet, or rather II has several names,
one OF which, and the one which will
probably finally be adopted, is the
"Schumann club" Each member must
contribute when called on, and may
call on any or all the members for sup
port. There was an enthusiastic meet
ing of the club at the Addison House
Tuesday evening, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Tilley were the entertainers. They
called on others and the following pro-
gramme was the result:
Miss Fletcher, song.
Mrs. #. Bond and daughter, piano
duet.
MIR. Tilley, song.
John Fletcher, piano solo.
Dr. Sheldon, song with chorus.
Miss Stewart and Mrs. Miner, piano
duet.
Mrs. Foote, song.
Miss Bell and Miss Fletcher, vocal
Duet.
There were about forty present and
all pronounced II success. The club
propose meeting every two weeks
through the winter. The next meeting
! will be at Chapman's music rooms.

IT seems that hundreds of peo-
pie wrote to Garfield, suggesting
matters which they thought should
be included in his letter of ac-
ceptance. This surprises General
Grant, who wrote his own letter
OF acceptance of-hand, and did
not trouble himself to give any ex-
preston of his views on public
questions. But the circumstances
were quite different. Hayes was
elected on the strength of his ad
mirable letter accepting the nomi-
nation and his promise not to be a
candidate for second term.
his letter was Of SO much import
ance that Garfield could do no less
than follow his example, and his
letter had more influence during
the campaign than the platform
formally adopted by the conven-
ton. On the Chinese question.
he repeated and emphasized the
declaration in the platform which
SO many Republican politicians
have lately repudiated to the
lasting disgrace of themselves and
their party.

The absurdity Of allowing pri-
vate claims by Congress is we'll H.
lustrated by a recent bill which
passed the Senate to pay two thou
sand dollars to an army officer. II
appears that this man, thirteen
years ago, was stationed on the
frontier and occupied log house.
[twas burned and he claims to have
lost a large amount of jewellery,
6ne clothing and such, the inven-
tory being something of satire
upon the hardships of officers, on
the frontier. The fire was occa-
stoned by. his own cook stove.
Senator Edmunds declared, in the
recent discussion, that by the prin-
ciple of this bill the United States
became the insurer of property OF
every person engaged in its SER
eice. If the bill becomes a law
every man in the civil service
ought to have like protection, and
be relieved from the cost of insur-
ing his household effects.

THERE is great commotion in
England about the construction
of the tunnel under the British
channel to connect with France.
1t resembles the outcry raised d in
America against the Panama canal
scheme of Lesseps. 'Tis said that
the tunnel cannot ba built any
wayy on 40 cunt of geological OBJ
structions which are insurmount-
able. Then, it should not be al
lowed, because the Frenchmen
might come through it some night
and capture the Kingdom. The
idea that the Englishmen might
make such an excursion into
France, has not yet dawned upon
them. The fact that either gov
ernment caR food it any moment
ought to srefute such objections.
The bottom of the opposition is
the steamship and transportation
interest. They are making use of
the plea Of public safety there, as
our spectators have been using
the Monroe Doctrine.

The Tariff.

THIS vexedquestion comes next
in order. There has been good
deal of manoeuvering for positions
by the two parties in congress.
One-elass desired to take up the
schedule of duties item by item,
and adjust the rate in committee
of the whole. The other proposed
to refer the same subject to q
committee which should agree as
far as possible on minor details,
and report any material difference
in principle. The bill for refer
ring the tariff to a commission was
so low down on the calendar that
its friends were fearful that it
could not be reached in time.
The other side equally impatient
for the fight agree to aid in pass
ing over and otherwise disposlng
of the intervening bills, so that a
fair comparison Of views may be
anticipated at an early day. Both
free traders and protectionists
have, however, undergone a ma
terial modification of the ultra
doctrines of the past. There are
few who now deem all indirect
taxation unconstitutional, and
think it the bounden duty of Con-
gress to discriminate against pro-
lection. On the other hand many
of those who favor protection as a
means Of fostering American
fabrics into competition with the
foreign article, think it is time to
take down the scaffold when the
building has been erected. There
are those who insist upon main
tanning the duty on sugar for rev.
enue only, but are unwilling to
Tote tax on foreign cloths or
shoes because it reduces or de-
stroys the receipt of revenue from
that source. The protectionists
have always been in favor Of lib
eral expenditures because it con-
tinues the necessity for high du-
ties, and they even promise a re-
duction of internal revenue BY
seventy-fve millions upon the
same motive. 1t is just possible
that enough members may cross
over on each side to deprive either
of the parties to which they belong
of the right to charge the Demo
Gratis with being free traders, or
the Republicans with being exclu-
sive protectionists. If the matter
could be taken from the political
arena to the purer field of states
Danship, it would be better for
the country.

THE Alta says that "the jury
system in San Francisco is farce,
and its results mockery of just
ice in nine cases out Of tea"
That is an opinion which has long
been entertained by people in
other places, where it would ap-
pear as if there were some system
of jury brokerage; the same men
manage to get upon great many
juries, and somehow make a living
out of it. The law presumes that
any man whose name is upon tho
assessment roll is competent to
sit as jury man, and this is one of
the cases where it would seem that
man was made for the law.

IHE veto power on the part of
the sovereign exists in England,
but has not been exercised for
two centuries. 1t is practically
obsolete, and to revive it would
be regarded as dangerous act of
arsurpation, and almost revolution
ary. 1t will be better for the
United States when this extraor-
binary power on the part of the
President is circumscribed with
definite rules, and limited only to
the most critical occasions. 1t
might be safe for the people if it
did not exist at ALL.

Virtue its Own Reward.

THE Philadelphia Record aas
RECENTLY lost one of its ablcst
writer's, and IN making mention of
the fact the Philadelphia Press
incidentally illustrates the iact
that self-abnegation is one of the
penalties OF journalism, even to
the most successful of its follow
ers. The Press says: "The death
of Charles Henry Foster, one of
the editors of the Record, was an
Fnounced yesterday. Not mapy of
the thousands to whom the news
came with the morning paper ever
heard his name before, and vet
there are few men whosellves have
been more unostentatiously useful,
OF more quietly heroic"
The clergyman has the stimulus
Of living and admiring congrega-
tions and the advantages of utter
ances that are-to his believers
exempt from controversy or criti-
cism; he has also his vacations
and the social backings of a host
of active friends, but the man who
devotes his life to journalism,
works Increasingly, lives unknown,
and dies in obscurity, and yet such
men as Foster, and thousands OF
others, by their daily contact with
the minds of the people do not
live or die in vain. They have the
consciousness that they are of the
salt of the earth. 1t is enough
for them to know that their work
is done, and if they make it n
| matter of conscience, and do it
we'll, they must in some way reap
their earned reward, if not here,
then in some bright and airy man-
sion of the sky.
