wages, but for the things that wages
will buy. If by crowding up wages
we put up the cost of everything we
want, what have we gained? 1t is,
therefore, in most instances a question
of some difficulty whether it would
be better for the workers themselves
to have higher wages or lower wages.
At times wages get so high that the
cost of production here excludes our
products from foreign markets; then,
as a rule, depression in business is near,
and nature sets things right by crowd
ing wages down. At other times wages
get so low that labOrerS cannot live in
comfort; then, as a rule, failure of the
workers TO consume our products
quickly forces capital to bear its share
of losses, and to develop new industries
for the better employment of labor.
But what has a trade union to do, in
this delicate balancing of power add
justed by an All-wise Ruler? 1t can
NEEDLE and quarrel, promote blind
prejudice and narrow hatred, plunge
men and women into many desperate
struggles when no one can say wheth-
er it would be better for them to sue
coed or to fail, and render capital less
willing to engage itself in any business
where federated labor" can NEEDLE
and mar. Does all this help labor in
any way p New York Tribune.

Medical Expert Witnesses.

Our readers will remember the case
of the State VS.. Lewis Merchant, on
trial for the killing of William Morgan,
in which DIR. 5. Il. Brooks refused to
give the results of his post-mortem ex-
animation on the body of Morgan, as
it was asking him to give expert testi-
mony without proper and reasonable
compensation. The Utica, n. Y, OBJ
server comments on the case as follows ::
The doctors point will appear to
many of his professional brethren to
be point we'll made. The laborer is
worthy of his hire, and the evidence of
a competent physician is far more i'm
pOrtant and valuable than the story of
an ordinary witness, who simply tells
what he has seen or heard. The first
demands learning, experience and
Judgment; and on it is staked the pro-
fessiOnal character of the witness. The
second calls simply for ordinary facul-
ties, and requires no hazard of the
witness professional character. The
views of a scientific man on questions
i'll his particular science are the views
of one more or less expert in that
science, and they should be paid more
for than mere facts, which may have
happened to come under observation,
and require no Independent thought or
Judgment. At the same time, the duty
of the citizen to the community is as
applicable in the case of an expert as
in that of any other person, to give all
information i'll his possession bearing
upon any case, upon the order of the
court. The testimony of the physician
i'll this case may hang Il murderer, or
acquit an innocent man. The result of
DIR. 5. II. Brooks commitment will he
looked for with interest by all profess
siOnal men in the country, who may
sometimes he asked to place their
special training at the service of the
law.
The doctors position has been very
warmly endorsed by the medical press
and profession, as was, perhaps, to be
expected but it is evident from this
and other representations by an indie
pendent press that he has also the ap-
prevail of an enlightened public scnti-
ment, which will, sooner or later, here
in Vermont, as in other states, assure
the public against the failure of justice
because of the "penny wise and pound
foolish" policy adopted whereby reas-

TiIdcm's Physical Condition.

Since the electoral controversy of
IS76-77, the subject of Mr.. Tilden's
mental and physical condition has pos
scsscd much interest for politicians of
both parties. In this case, the wish
has been father to the thought, and
they have insisted that he is but a
wreck of his former self. This was
one of the causes that contributed to-
ward the failure of the Cincinnati con-
vcntion to place him in nomination
for the presidency. Politicians of both
parties understand very well that there
is no more skillful manipulation of poll
teal wires in our politics, and while
the republicans have regarded him as
a formidable man to run against, ambi-
tious democratic politicians have wish
ed him permanently out of the race.
Hence all the reported interviews with
the Silent Man of the democratic party,
and all the opinions, pro and con, as
to his health.
The latest contribution 10 this in
tcrcsting subject is the statement of
Dr. Simmons to the New York Graphic
He says: "ln my opinion as physi
elan, thoroughly conversant with every
detail of Mr.. Tilden's physical condi-
tlon for the past ten years, the eX-
president to-day is better and stronger
in health than he was in 1876 He
says that Mr.. Tilden has entirely re-
covered the use of his voice, speaks of
the trembling which characterizes Mr..
Tilden's movements as something that
could be cured entirely in Il year, and
says "hundreds of instances can he
cited where persons afflicted with it
from early youth have lived to beyond
tourscoro in the enjoyment of other
wise perfect mental and physical
health" just as everybody had settled
that Mr.. Tilden was hopeless invalid
and out of the presidential race, this
last statement must needs be brought
ont to disarrange the schemes of ambi-
tious and designing men and become
the nightmare to disturb their feverish
slumbers.

Public Opinion.
POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.

If the government may properly send
messages in the form of letters by rail
road, which nobody denies, it may,
with still greater prOpriety, send them
in the form of kilograms by the tele-
do the work which it undertakes to do
more promptly and satisfactorily. The
people of this country would certainly
be unwilling to abolish the present
postal system and intrust the carriage
Of letters wholly to private enterprise,
and for very obvious reasons. But
telegraphic communication has now
become essential, because the habits
and business of the country inevitably
adapt themselves to improved facili-
ties, and the regularity and certainty,
the cheapness and universally which
so satisfy the public in the present
postal system, it will soon naturally
require of the Geographic service, and
it will secure it, as it has secured
the other, through the government
fHarper's Weekly.
ONE CAUSE OF BUSINESS sTAGNATIoN.
1t may be set down as true, whether
the great public will bear or forbear to
hear, that much of the depression in
business is owing to the fact that fewer
members of the family work that used
to be producers, and that, notwith-
standing the cost of living has very
much increased because of the change
of style. Not only do the boys and
girls leave the farm not only are there
no boys learning trades; not only are
the girls contemptuOus of handiwork,
but the education of these, their cloth
ing, their pleasures. are proving greatly
more expensive. There are too many
distributors of the products of the
earth and machinery, and too many of
them are clothed in purple and fine
linen. The cities and the larger towns
increase at the expense of the country,
and the bread of idleness is too often
eaten. The non-prOducing class is
gaining rapidly; it must be reduced
relatively, or the burden upon the
workers will become beyond their
power to sustain Providence Jour
nal.

Money for Campaign Purposes.

Collecting money of office holders
for campaign purposes is quite a diff
ferent affair than it was hut a short
time ago. Then the campaign COM
mittee had only To send its circular to
the otticc-holder Indicating what he
was expected to contribute, and the
money was forthcoming. In one sense,
there was no compulsion about it; but
the employee well knew that political
decapitation would follow a refusal or
neglect Ia contribute.
Now, how different, Take an ex-
ample: The republican campaign COM
mittee of Pennsylvania send out a
circular which well illustrates the
changed order of things. The circular
recapitulates the fact that 1.-The
present laws of the United States and
Pennsy lvania (which laws the cir
cular, with remarkable condescension.
states, "shall be faithfully observed by
this committee prohibit the assess
ment of the office-holders for political
purposes, and that heretofore the ex-
pcnses of our campaigns have been
very largely borne by this class of our
citizens" The employees are reminded
that their fright to send to the com
mittee "amounts determined by them
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1883-08-31

selves" is not questioned by law or
public sentiment. The appeal of the
committee is made to those cable and
willing to give" to the employe ''as a
republican citizen" and for such
amounts as he feels he "can and ought
to make"
a great change, surely. The con-
tribution is now asked for, instead of
being made as a demand. The term
"willing" may apply to all who feel
that their tenure of office depends on
the continuance in power of the party
to which they owe their positions; but
it is doubtful if the term cable" will
apply equally well to those who are
holding not very lucrative clerkships.
At any rate, a long step forward has
been taken, when the campaign com
mittees come before the office holder
in the role of a supplicant.

The American Ra pid employees have
been notified that all the advant-

One of the citizens of Covington,
Ind, has a remarkable COW. On a re-
cent Tuesday she gave birth to two
calves. Nothing was thought of this,
as she had, some two years previously,
given birth to three at one time. The
COW was all right until Monday night,
when she died. Upon examination no
less than five calves were found, all
dead. The COW was nine years old.

New Hampshire News.

The New Hampshire legislature on
Friday passed a joint resolution in
favor of II government system of postal
telegraphy.
The heaviest shower of the season
occurred in the vicinity of the Craw-
form house, n. H., Thursday. A slide
off Mount Willard at 6.30 p. m, block
AIDED the track, thus delaying the East
ern and Montreal trains several honrs.
A careful investigation indicates that
the malarial fever at Little Bears Head,
Rye beach, and the vicinity is traceable
directly to the tainted water of a well
adjacent to the cottage occupied by
Mr.. Lewis, who died recently. The
well was sunk near the base of Il hill
and cesspool was located higher up
the same hill. The well water is now
very offensive. Two summer residents
have already died and another is not
expected to live.

The Institute Fair at Boston.

The Foreign Art and Industrial ex-
hibitiOn will open in Boston next Mon
day, under the auspices of the Massa-
chusetts Charitable Mechanic associa-
ton. 1t is fact worthy of note that
the day on which just one hundred
years ago the United States was re-
cognizcd as a nation, the civilized
countries of the globe send the pro-
ducts of their skill, art and industry
for exhibition in one of the cities of the
young republic. The exhibits from
England and France are said not to be
what might be expected from these
leading nations, but Ireland represents
Great Britain in manner highly
creditable to herself and the United
Kingdom. Among the exhibits will be
an ecclesiastical sculpture, an auto
graph letter of Daniel O'COnnell, Il
jaunting-car, bog wood and hair orna
ings, marbles and other characteristic
productions. From Italy upwards of
one hundred paintings of the repre-
sentative Italian artists are to be eX-
hibited. The exhibit from Japan will
be Il national one, and will include n
regular tea and saki house, and four
teen Japanese women engaged in some
handicratt of their country. Germany
has sent brOnzes, paintings on pOrce-
lain, jewelry, wonderful metal work
and cut and engraved glass. There
are about one hundred and fifty paint
ings from France, with a number of
stained glass windows, and furs, skins,
porcelain and an exhibit of the Panama
Canal company. A curious object of
interest will be a model of the famous
antique Viking ship, sent 10y Norway !;
from Egypt Il model of the largest
pyramid from Algeria, Oriental jewel
ry, and from Holland one-year clocks
and other curious inventions. Spain
and Portugal will he represented by
clay figures, wrought iron, choice
wines, antiquities, carvings and a limit
ed number of paintings paintings from
the Sandwich islands. Many persons
will scan with curiosity two Etruscan
sarcophagi which We're excavated
some fifty years ago. becoming the
property of the widow of Lucien Bona
parte. They are valued in Rome at
2OO, 900 francs.
The Institute fair will open next
Wednesday. The exercises will com
prise an address of welcome by Gov.
Butler, and Gov. Thomas j. Jarvis
will make the response for the south.
Among the speakers will be Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge of England,
while the address of the occasion will
Ice delivered by Gen. Francis A.
Walker. A large number of prominent
men have been invited, including the
governors of all the New England and
southern states, a. well as other state
officers, the Massachusetts representa-
tives in the national congress and the
state Legislature, and the city officials
of Boston.

The first appointment made under
the new civil service rules, for the
treasury department, is that of Miss
Mary +. HOyt from Connecticut to a
5000 position. The civil service com
missioners certified to the names of
four ladies, and Miss Hoyt received
the appointment because her name
came first. Some of the ladj applicants
for government positions have feared
that the new rules would work against

unless they are unequal to competi
