Mr.. Foster, the American minister to
Spain, has concluded Il reciprocity treaty
with That country which, if passed by Con-
gress, may havea material effect in prevent
ing any ren tariff reform. The treaty al
lows vessels trading with Spanish ports to
bring into the United States free of duty q
number of articles, including certain grades
of sugar, such US are most generally used
1t also reduces the tariff upon tobacco from
the West Indies and Central America one
half. The sugar-producing and the tobacco
interests are up in arms against the ratifi.
cation of the treaty. tits recognition of the
principle that if our commerce is to be re-
stored and we are to have real prosperity
the tariff must be lowered, but as the treaty is
drawn, it seems to US that its effect would
be to lessen the chance of relief from the op
pressive tariff. The object is probably to cut
down the gross amount annually accumuat-
ed in the United States Treasury by wiping
out the tariff or internal revenue taxes on
certain articles, in order that favored manu-
facturers, not having foreign competition,
may continue to flourish at the expense of our
own people.

General Grant has written q letter ex-
pressing the hope that the bill in his behalf
before Congress would he withdrawn, as
under no circumstances could he accept a
pension. Gen. Grants income from the
fund raised for him some years ago is $15, 900
year, and with the exercise ofa little econo-
my and selfdenial he may be able to worry
along with that, and leave the pensions for
] soldiers who never saw battle or smelled
gunpowder.

Poor Old Burchard."

The Republican journals of the country
attribute Blaine's defeat solely to the Rev.
DIR. Burchard. who, in publicly compliment.
ing Blaine, referred to the Democratic party
as the party of Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion" The speech was an outrageous insult
to the Democratic party, and a wan
ton fling at a large portion of the Christian
community. 1t was as it should have been,
promptly resented by every man who was
not stepped in partisanship. 1t is doubtful,
however, if it had the effect attributed to it
by the Republicans. Those whose votes
might have been changed by it, would no
doubt have voted the Democratic ticket any
way. 1t seems, however, to afford the Repub.
licans some consolation in their defeat to
kick and cuff poor old Burchard," thereby
relieving their feelings. Our neighbor, the
Times, presents picture of the source of all
their woes" and speaks of him as follows =:
1.-The Rev. Samuel ID. Burchard, who fired the
three RS at Mr.. Blaine with such deadly effect,
and the callow youth who fired the Ephesian
dome, will live In fame together Above we
present perfect likeness of the reverend gen.
tleman as he appeared on the occasion upon
which he slew Mr.. Blaine with his deadly aiit-
Grafton of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
On the other hand, another contemporary
the Hare de Grace Republican, states the
facts of the case very plainly, as follows:
at is about time the Republican organs let
up on poor old Burchard. These very papers
that are now stoning the old preacher have for
the past twenty years been charging Democracy
as the party of "Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion" The trouble is, not that they repudiate
the sentiment but that it should be brought
to the front in such an inopportune time"
1t was not Burchard's bray that caused the
walls of the Republican stronghold to tum-
BILE down. 1t was treason inside, in the per.
son of Blaine himself, who was false to the
interests of the people and who sought his
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT alone Burchard's re-
mark was but one fact in the array oftesti
mony against the Republican party, which
secured its conviction by the jury of the
country.

ASRAyEYARD rIaHT.
Rival sections Have Tussle over Who
shOuld FIll Up u Grave


should fIil Up Grave
A fight came off in Hebron, Conn, on
Friday, between young George Allyn, a
rising Methodist, and VIM, Watrous, the
veteran grave digger in the old buTying
ground on the Walla1e Jones lot. The
trouble was over who should dig and fill o
grave and collect tho money for it. The
corpse was in the hole while the fight was
going on, The funeral train had just left
tho yard. Tho tussle began with slugging
blows and wound up with fair and square
side hold, in which the old man churned
the younger among the black berry briars
and white birches, so that Allyn's friends,
some tWouty, who were interested Specta
tors, lad TO pull WatrOus of and drive
him out of the yard. Then Allyn covered
up the coffin with the frozen oods Of earth
that WatrOus had throSn out three days
before.
From what can bo gathered of this
strange affair it appears that the dying
request of Deacon Lebbus Wheeler, oaa
OF the good ola pillars of the Methodist
church there, was that young Allyn, in
whom he took grGas interest, should per
form the rites of iuterment for him when
be died. Now, Watrous has been the
recognized village grave digger for years,
and, in fact, prides himself upon 1t. and
tells how many people he has assisted in
putting under the ground, and when
Allyn went into tho Jones lot the day
the deacon died, and, throwing
oil his coat, proceeded with an old
axe to hew out frozen earth for the
allotted six feet of space. 1t "riled"
Watrous, and he at once went over to the
cemetery, taking Mr.. Jones, tho owner of
the property, along as backer. Mr.. Jones
Is Congregationalist Watrous told Allyn
that he had no business TO be cutting him
out of slO job for digging a grave. Tho
two men quarrelled. At length, other
parties friendly to Watrous were called 10,
and Allyn was pitched over the fence aud
Watrous completed the work that had
been begun, but, though defeated for tho
nonce, Allyn was content to bide his time,
He waited until Friday, when the funeral
cortege had deposited tho corpse of his old
friend in the ground, and then, with his
| helpers, fell upon old Watrous, who was
| alone, aud about to begin to Ill up the
grave. Watrous was cleared out, and Allyn
| covered up the Coilin. AS result of tho
the village il split up into factions uphold
ing tho rival sextons.

A Word TO Mayor RosenmiIler.

Mayor Rosenmiller, in his inaugural,
says, speaking Of the new WorthiDgton
pump: "Nor has any provision been
made for its payment by any appropria
tions out of the anticipated receipts Of
this year." This is partly true, but it
does not fully state the case In July
last, Mr.. Beard, IA Republican,, OF com
mon council, by direction of the water
committee, offered resolution that the
water committee be authorized to adyer-
tise for proposals for q 5000, 900 gallon
pump, &c. Select council colcurred.
Later on, early in September, special
meeting OF councils was called to con-
slider the action of the water committee
in awarding the contract to VI. II
Worthington for the erection OF -,
G,0O0,0 900 gallon pump at the city watel
works. The following resolution was
then adopted Resolred, That the
water committee be and are hereby in
slructed to enter into contract with the
said ii. II. Worthington for 5000 OOC
gallon pump" The resolution was
adopted and sent to select council, wher
II was amended, il our memory Is cor
rect, by Mr.. Evans, by the words thai
"the first payment of ST., 900 shall b,
made within 80 days after completion t
the satisfaction of councils" Mr.
Evans would not trust the water com
mittee, of which he was not one.
At the October meeting of councils
DR., BolenIus offered resolution author
izing the mayor to "sell city bonds t.
the amount OF sl4, 900, the proceeds O
which shall be devoted to the payment
of the.irst instalment on the cost of tn,

l am glad for myself-and there are
many like me-that there is at least ono
paper In tho county with the moral cour-
age To expose official malfeasance Ia local
affairs. As a Republican am compelled
to look to you, Democratic friend, for this.
When men in extensive business hunt
offices of comparatively small salary with
assiduity there must DO something in IL. !"
When, having had office, they abused it
they should not be reelected, certainly not
to third term.
1t Is bad sign that tho assessors, tho
collectors, aldermen, constables and other
leeches on the county treasury favor a
candidates reelection as county commits
sioner. II ho has been good to them it
has not been good for the county.
When man becomes suddenly atten.
tive to the business Of his Office six weeks
before the primaries it is suspicious.
When political bosses struggle for the
control OF the county treasury balances
there is something rotten in Denmark.
When the commissioners levy an undue
rate of tax and allow big abatement to
gather from 800, 600 to $500, 900 into tho
county treasury many months before II is
needed for public uses the people should
take alarm.
The Republican county commissioners
favored the extra Inducements to get the
money in carly. Why ? | understand the
Democrat in the board was opposed tC
it.

political pens and tho bosses feast on the
carcasses.
