The Nations Loss.

The columns of matter which we
give respecting the life and death OF
the great soldier are but small frac-
ton of what might be printed had we
room. North and South, East and
West, on every continent, the expires
sioDs of grief and the tender of sympa-
thy is universal. These last months
of heroic bearing under the most try
ing ordeal, have won the admiration
and respect of the civilized world ;
while the words of the great general
during his sickness have proved leg
acy To the bond of union which should
exist in this country scarcely less val
liable than his deeds in the dark hours
of the nations peril.

True Republicanism.
AS the Montpelier Watchman Declares 1t
in Its Last Weeks Issue.

The Waterman assisted TO form the
national republican party. 1t has been
the recognized exponent of the princi-
Piles of that party. Its political dis
cussiOns have been conducted upon a
high plane. 1t has never meddled
with the pettiness of partisan politics.
1t has dared to be liberal and indepen-
dent; to read, not to follow, public
opinion to show all sides of political
questions without producing confusion
of ideas among reasonably intelligent
and candid readers, or without incur
ring the charge of heresy. We have
endeavOred to maintain the high pOlit
zeal character of the paper. The
Watchman's constituency is intelligent
and discerning. They would not re-
spect or sustain us if we had deceived
them in political or any other matters.
If we have been more frank and can
did with our readers than some ardent
journals which have been visiting mall
edictions upon our head, we have not
been wanting in loyalty to the repub-
lican party or in regard for its best in
terests. Our readers, if not our critics,
understand this perfectly, and they
have not allowed us to cherish any
misgivings as to the fact of their hear
ty appreciation of our course in the
field of national politics. If we have
commended praisewOrthy acts in Pres
ident Cleveland's administration, it has
been in the interest of good govern
ment, and because such acts were i'll
accordance with republican principles.
We could not condemn them indis-
criminately without abandoning cardi-
nal articles of the republican faith. AS
we have had no sympathy with cavil-
ing, so we have not concealed our
aversion to a recently developed type
of republicanism that finds apt express
sion in vOclferous assertions of its
own immaculateness and the stOlid
"straightness" of its party alignment,
without regard to convictions of fun
damental right and wrong. This is
not the republicanism that was mar
shaded under the banner of Fremont,
that elected Lincoln, that defeated the
democracy in six consecutive elections,
and it is not the Iepublicanism that
must be 10 vOked to retrieve the disas-
ter that befell the party in its last
national convention. Republicanism
must 'face forward not back ward
forward to the completion of reforms
undertaken, to the devising and achiev-
ing of new measures of wise and pro-
gressive craftsmanship, to the righting
of wrongs and correcting of abuses;
not backward to the reviviug of expir-
ing sectional issues, to mOping over
old feuIs, or planning schemes of re-
venge. We are glad TO believe that

Caledonia Springs.

Caledonia Springs are in the town
ship of Caledonia, Province of Ontario,
four hours ride up the Ottawa river
from Montreal. These springs are
noted for the valuable medicinal quail
ties of their waters, more especially in
rheumatic affections, although there is
abundant evidence as to their value in
affections of the liver and kidneys.
These waters do not cure all cases of
rheumatism, bat they do care SO many
that their remedial effects rank with
the hot springs of Arkansas
The waters of Caledonia are both
saline and sulphur. They are taken
hot the former internally, the latter
externally, aud both eternally. That
is TO say, they are absorbed in large
quantities and with much frequency
in fact there is little else to do at the

The president has made change in
his plans for summer vacation, and
it is quite likely that he will not visit
the AdiroDdacks until the middle of
August, and he will then remain away
from Washington through the month
of September. 1t was his intention to
leave the White house next Saturday
evening for New York, but the death
of Gen. Grant caused him to change
his mind and he will thus be enabled
to give little more time to public
matters.

1t may be of little consequence, but

the line of policy he must pursue etc.
But after all perhaps the Messenger
did not do the injustice To the new edi-
tor of the Watclman that we feared,
for in its first issue under the new
management it says: "fhere will be
nothing equivocal i'll its politics. We
shall not present the absurd spectacle
of trying to affiliate with two political
parties at the same time, nor attempt
the impossible feat of trying to please
both parties"

Vermont's Collector Removed.

Gen. Wells has been suspended as
collector at Burlington and Bradley b.
Smalley appointed in his place. Gen.
Wells term would not have expired
for two years and many have believed
that lie would be allowed to hold out
cratic boss of Vermont (heaven save
the mark) has been interchangeable in his
efforts to bounce Gen. Wells and in
stall his bosom friend Smalley. He
has worked the offensive partisan"
dodge and it seems with success, for
on no other ground would President
Cleveland have removed a good soldier
like Wells and put in his place II good
politician like Smalley. 1t is said that
Atkins filed with the president album
dant proof that Gen. Wells had taken
an active part in politics and had con
Quoted his Office on the motto, "No
democrats need apply" Considering
that Mr.. Smalley, though "a democrat,
has had the fat berth of clerk of the
mont for many years it would have
been no more than generous or even
fair To have let Gen. Wells remain I'm
til his term expired. In his removal
the president has perhaps made IA pO-
litical blunder but it would be inter
eSting tn know how much of an earth
quake would have occurred had Mr..
Blaine been elected president and
some personal friend had been given
Gen. Wells place-a very probable
suppOsition and one for which there are
many precedents.
This removal of Gen. Wells makes a
good deal of talk. Some think it means
more than appears ON the face of it.
For instance, Que Washington cores
pondent intimates that although great
" impOrtuned, the president hesitated
to go into Senator Edmunds' own town
and remove his prOtege, especially
when he knew that the senator told
Gen. Wells not To resign, because he
intended To make "A fight for him in the
senate. 1t, is said, however, that he
became convinced that enough repub
lean senators will vote for Smalley
to pull him through in spite of Senator
Edmnnds, and it Is the inside talk that
Senator Morrill, is not averse to Small
ley's elevation, which has the support
of the Smith -Edmnnds crowd, as a
preliminary step to overthrow the Ed
munds prestige in the state. Morrill,
has never been Teconciled To Edmunds'
antiB!aine position last year. The
president likes Smalley and has want
ed to do something for him, and these
facts have shown him that he need not
be in great fear of Edmunds. This
may be simply gossip, but taken all in
all, the event furnishes large amount
of political talk, wise OF otherwise.

Practical Politics Illustrated.

The Boston post office, lately com
pleted by the United States govern
ment, cost in round numbers, six mil
lion dollars the total bills figuring up
but a few thousand dollars short OF
that sum. The Herald intimates that
no shrewd business man estimates the
actual cost at over three million dol
lars if it had been built by business
man instead of the government. The
question is, where are the other three
millions No, that question is not
asked everyone knows where they
are they are in the pockets of the
practical politicians who had soft jobs
on the edilice. In other words, thirty
men pocket one hundred thousand dol
lars apiece for which they give no
equivalent. And the taxpayers foot
the bills. This is recent illustration
of practical politics.

springs, and if there was there would
be little time in which to do il, as ones
time is fully occupied by "what he is
there for"
To get the best effects of these wa
tiers one should remain at the springs
two or three weeks, and should be
faithful and intelligent in the use of
the waters. There are usually physi-
clans, and always some one, who can
put one on the right track at once.
The journey from this section to Cal
edOnia is quickly made, though it is
not very easy of access for one who is
very much of an invalid. The best
way to reach there is tn take the after
noon express train to Montreal, reach
ing that city before niue the same
evening Here remain for the night,
taking the Canadian Pacific at $40 in
the morning for Calumet. Here ferry
takes one across the Ottawa river to
L'Original Norinel) thence 10y stage
ride of nine miles one reaches the
Springs at | o'clock p. III. Cheap
transportation rates are given. A
round trip ticket can be bought from
ST. JOhnsbury to Montreal for S4.75,
and one from Montreal to Caledonia
and return for $4.25, good for two
months. The best ticket to procure at
Montreal is up by rail and return by
ha -
the rheumatism all gone, it is one OF
| the most enjoyable trips for its length
on this cOntinent-leaving the springs
at 10 IA. M, taking a steamer down the
| Ottawa and st. Lawrence, shooting the
famous and fascinating Lachiue rapids,
ducking under the Victoria bridge and
swinging up to the wharf at Montreal
at go p. M. Then one can take the
evening express train home or remain
another night in the city and return
by daylight.
We might go on indefinitely and
speak of the attractions to tourists and
pleasure seekers of Memphremagog,
Montreal, the ST. Lawrence river,
Quebec and the Saguenay, but the es-
pecial object of this article is to call
attention of those afflicted with rheu-
matism to Il possible relief and cure.
| 1t is done in the interests of suffering
humanity, without hope OF reward or
fear of blame.
Outside its waters there are no at
| fractions at Caledonia. 1t is a lone
some place. In order to be cOntented
even for a two weeks stay one should
have cOngenial company or great faith
in the curative properties of the waters.
The Grand Hotel is II comfortable,
hOme-like house, but there is nothing
else there to interest, amuse or in
struct. That such Il place is full
through the season is the best testimO-
NAL to the value of the springs.
