Pond Lilies

Pond lilies are now in bloom and the
crop is large. If you wish to see abont
an acre of lilies all in one place, you
ought to go down to the lower end slough
They grow there too numerous to mem

as he can gather pond lilies and readily
dispose of them at five cents a bunch.

The Lower End.

That the lower end is the quiz
etest part of the city, one has only to
traverse that section to find out The
reason for this will be plain when it is
known that most of the workingmen of

They work hard all day, and when night
comes they feel like going to bed and

Fourth avenue and Twentysecond, and
another on Fifteenth street and Third

Mr.. Morrill, is a years old, having been
born at STAFFORD, April Il, $50, but his
eye is not dim nor his natural force abat-

from duty on the ground of personal in
trinity, and in the prolonged debates ana

two sessions of Congress, he showed him
self able to out-sit and out-work many a
Younger man. His regular habits, kindly
and genial temperament, and the constant
industry which has permitted no rusting
of his powers, have preserved to him in a
remarkable degree his activity of mind

He will have had National experience

is going the rounds of the Democratic
press. We have the best means Of know
inc that Mr. Edmund>'s letter to Mr.
Cook did not contain any such sentence {;
and that js printed the letter is in its
phraseology and purport a forgery. The
true letter was Il brief reply to an invita-
ton addressed to Mr. EdmundS month
or more ago, asking him to speak at Cas-
Teton. In reply the Senator expressed
regret that it was impracticable for him
to do so and, in order that his refusal to
speak might not be taken as an indication
of want of interest in the success of the
party of which he has been so long one of
the foremost champions, he added an eX-
preston of his hope that the Republican
party, which he styled our good old
party would triumph in the election as
usual.
We may repeat once more, though it
ought not to be necessary to do So that
there is nothing equiVOCal about senator
EdmundS's attitude. He is as strong Il
Republican as he ever was. He feels no
personal animosIty towards Mr.. Blaine. He
has discovered no reasons why any Re
publican should aid the Democratic party
or vote for the Democratic candidate. The
return Of the Democratic party to power,
by the election of Cleveland, would
be, in his opinion, Il very great National
calamity. He will vote for Blaine and
Logan; and while eXacting professional
litbOrs, and his own health and that of his
family have not permitted him to take the
stump, he earnestly desires the success of
the Republican ticket He has said this
in conversation and in public, in writing
ard in his actions and that the Democrats
should attempt to claim him as on their
side, or ON the fence, which would he

desperate straits they are in, in this cam

Much Ct the delay to commence work
upon the proposed Bennington battle
monument is attributable to u conflict
of ideas on the subject of II design, one
idea, which has been, it is understood, the
idea of the subcommittee ON design. is to
erect an elegant and artistic monument,
of granite and bronze, after the somewhat
conventional pattern of II pedestal with
bronze figures at its base and SurmOuntcd
by II bronze statue. \ handsome design
for monument of this kind was submit
ted by Prof Weir of New Haven and in
its main features was, we believe approx
ed hy the committee ON design. The 9th or
idea is to erect something which shall be
conspicuous by its size and imposing pro-
portions, rather than by elegance and
beauty of detail or by sCulptural Orna-
Understanding in the way of Il high
and imposing tower of stone. For this, so
far as we know, no design has been APP
proved but this id Il. it is stated, prevails
with the majority of the monument asso-
citation and the action taken at the recent
meeting of the directors is understood to
be in the line of this idea. The Benning-

The Republicans in the South.

Very encouraging reports come from
the southern branch headquarters, at
Nashville, of the Republican National
committee. a despatch from Nashville
to the Tribunc gives many most assuring
facts as to the political situation and pros
poets in Tennessee. Wherever, in that
State, there has been industrial progress
there Republcanism has grown rapidly.
Every mine or quarry that has been
opened'-says the TriblHC correspondent
-"every factory built every wheel set up
or industry established, has made Repub-
lican votes There is ii different spirit in
the campaign to-day than in any former
election since the war. The Republicans
are active, aggressive, their speakers are
listened to not only with federation, but
with attention, and the arguments of the
campaign hrstle with facts and figures
from the record of six successive and sue
cesslul Republican administrations, - 1t
is to be hoped that the Republicans will in
the future extend their operations to other
States of the South, 1t certainly seems TO
us promising field.

boston Advertiser, tuesday,

The Vermont Legislature, to-day, is to
rc-elect Mr.. Morrill, to the United States
Senate, though he is four years past the
boundary line of three score and ten. Mr..
Morrill, first took his seat in the Senate
seventeen years ago, Before that, he had
served in six Congresses, beginning with
the rhirtyfourth, as a representative, He
has thus, for nearly thirty years, stood at
Washington as an exponent OF Vermont
ideas. Mr.. MOrrill'S return once more to
the Senate, at his advanced age, is an ac-
ceptance of the belief in England and on
the Continent that arduous and brilliant
work may be done by men over seventy,
as well as by those in their prime, Yer
mont thus sets an excellent example of
blotting out the dead line" of seventy

England and the Beers.

our telegraph columns have contained
the announcement that the English GOV
eminent had decided to stop the "audaci-
Gus encroachments" of the Beers If the
TransVaal After the war of 1919, when
CeteWayO was defeated and captured,
Xululaud was divided among thi,tecn in
dependent chiefs, under the supervision
of Il b itiSh resident, and Usibepu, the
enemy of Cetewayo, WAS among The Sc
lgctpd rulers. This Cf course led to
trouble, and as il remedy CeteWayo was
restored. Usibppu made war upon him
and his allies the Usutus defeated them
twice, but Cetewayo and his adherents
sought aid of the BO rs, promising them
farms in Zululand if they would help
them to overthrow Usibepu. The latter
finally killed Cetewayo and asserted his
claim to reign over the whole of Zulu
land. But another chief, named DIM
zulu, declared himself the rightful sue
cessor of CeteWayo, and the Beers
took him under Their protc,ti IN. With
their help he defeated his rival, and now
holds sway in Zululand, sets the authority
of the British commissioner at defiance,
and looks to the Beers to maintain him in
his position. The Beers in making DIM
zulu king without consulting the British
officials, have given II serious blow to
British power and prestige in South Africa
and this of course is an act of audaCitN
which calls for the scVercst punishment

have to be spilled before the British lion

differ from the Hcrdld. A Governor
must learn many things which his sue
cessor can not possibly know his eXpe
rience must be worth something; his sug
gestions, based upon that experience
must be, and as a rule are, well worth

The canvass in New \ York county for the

Clevelands gains l., Cleyeland's losses 100:
