money invested, which, as capital,
should pay interest. These figures
are from a reliable source, and a
liberal allowance is made for posi-
BILE errors. OF course the whole of
this outlay cannot be avoided,
neither is it the fault of those who
cater to us, for while we show a
willingness to pay for style and ease
it will be provided the same as any
other commodity. But surely some
retrenchment, some reorganization
to reduce this waste should be made
before we cry hard times" 1t

of decency and as an example to
our children, for bye and bye it may

a man is engaged in political strug-
gle, his reward lies in the establish
ment or advancement of the princi-
pies fer which he contends. If a
man is struggling for his own ad-
vancement through politics, his re-
ward will be in office and emolu-
ment. In the latter case, however,
his efforts should scarcely be digni-
fed with the name of political
struggle. The man who devotes
himself disinterestedly to politics
can hardly fail of reward; for he
will certainly have it in his power
to do something to improve politica
methods and to bring principles to
the front. 1t is the man who has
axes of his own to grind who runs
a risk of disappointment, and who,
perhaps, at the end of his career, is
heard complaining of his party's in
gratitude;

Senator Edmunds, in an interview,
is reported to have express ed him
self as follows with reference to Mr..
Cleveland's appointments:
"Any one who knows me and my
course in years past knows that have
always been and am still friend and
advocate of civil service reform. He
knows, too, that L should oppose any
departure from that principle in the
matter of appointments, whether the
person Immediately concerned be a
friend or an entire stranger, whether
he be from Vermont or from Texas.
AS to the policy of the Administration
in this matter, said last spring that
Mr.. Cleveland's intentions were good,
and that if he got the right kind of
men about him he might be able to
carry out his purposes in this regard
BY right kind of men [ meant men
friendly to civil service reform and
with backbone to stand out against
the opposition they would encounter
from the Democratic spoilsnen. But
7 President Cleveland has not about him
men who would help him in adhering
to civil service reform. The majority
of his Cabinet are unfavorable to it.
Thus it is, that at the pres
ent time mans name comes up for
removal; some specious charges have
been prepared against him, It's in the
case of General Wells. The man is
removed and another appointment
made without the truth or falsity oil
the charges being known or even in
vestigated. | think there is no doubI
that gradually these changes will con-
tinue until the policy and practice o
the Administration have degenerateC
into simply spoils system. There il
no doubt that if the Senate had no
been Republican the change would
have come already. If the Senate
had been Democratic it would no
have adjourned when it did, bu
would have stayed over month O
more, and there would have been 9

COMMUNICATIONS.
To tue Editor of the Herald:

In your issue of August % / no.
ticed communication, written by a
party who is evidently a stranger,
touching on matters which concern
Island Pond. The article is doubt
less written in good faith, but the
ideas suggested are all impracticable
and wish to show why, in order
that conditions appearing by the
aforesaid article to exist may not
stand i'll the eyes of resident
readers of the HERALD as a blot OF
reproach upon our village. l take
the subjects touched upon by the
article in the order they stand and
will try and make the matter clear.
First the article says; "The
Grand Trunk depot here is not only
a disgrace to the village but an in.
suit TO its inhabitants. Now
submit that you may travel from
Montreal to Portland and not find
so conveniently arranged, so neatly
kept, or so satisfactory a station.
Years ago the road had covered
depot which was burned in 1878.
1t was replaced by neat, commo-
dious brick building. The only
drawback now is that east bound
passengers have to walk ten feet to
reach the waiting room. Perhaps
they have in the city or town where
your critic of last week resides a
palatial depot of brick or stone, but
the finances of the Grand Trunk
will not permit them to erect pal
aces at every village, and our people
are satisfied, know, with the &C
commodations provided for the pat
rons of the road in this village.
Next we get shot on the condi-
ton Of our roads. Last spring the
town bought road machine, it was
placed in charge of competent men
and the highways were carefully
graded and freed from stones. Our

DEAR EDITOR: While reading
your remarks on "Hard Times" in
a recent issue of the HERALD, the
thought struck me, what evidence
is there of hard times? Are we liv-
ing like people in Strengthened cir
cumstances When we spend our
money do we appear as if there
were any uncertainty as to where
we should get any more? Do we
show even a desire to so regulate our
affairs that there shall be no waste
or unnecessary expenditure We
have population of about twelve
hundred people living under cir
cumstances which should be condu-
Give to habits of prudence and econ
omy. Certainly there is no reason
why we should be more improvident
than our neighbors, still l think an
aggregate of the money spent in
luxury, or thoughtlessly wasted to
crafty our pride or laziness would
be surprising, and to put the matter
plainly as possible, let us take a few
figures.
We maintain five teams to take
home our goods from the stores; five
teams with men to work them will
cost not less than 5000 each per
year, total $4,000, a tax of $3.50 per
inhabit&nt We pay fifteen men to
sell our supplies about $4,000 per
year. We have about $4,000 in
vested in buildings for stores, which
at ten per cent. gives $2,500, here
we have a total of $l4, 500, or $12.0S
each for every man, woman
and and child. And, remember, we
have not yet devoted one cent to
the purchase of the staple article,
or for the profit Of the dealer, the
manufactures and the jobber. All
must have living, some get rich.
Neither have we taken into account
the cost of transportation or the

ISLAND POND, SEPTEMBER 4. 1885.
SENATOR sHERMAN,s SPEECH.

Senator Sherman opened the Ohio
campaign for the Republicans by a
speech at Mt, Gilead, last week.
lie devoted a large share of it to
"a review of the six months opera
ton OF the Democratic Administra-
5ion. He made no hsadlong, uncon-
sidered, hit-or-miss assault on the
Administration, but weighed it |
carefully by its performances.
Being perfectly familiar with the
facts, and feeling deeply the enor-
unity of Mullen's offense, Senator
Sherman was expected to devote
considerable time to the Mullen
case. BY the pardon of Mullen
who, an officer of the law, charged
with the duty of protecting citizens
in their rights, was convicted of ar
resting by wholesale more than 100
citizens, combining them where they
could not be reached until after the
election was over, and then discharg-
ing them without accusation or
trial-Senator Sherman declares
that President Cleveland did more
to lower his administration in the
opinion of conservative men than
by any other act of his life.
Senator Sherman spoke with
much clearness on the opposition of
the Democracy to measures calcu-
lated to restore our foreign COM
merce largely destroyed by rebel
cruisers during the war. lie rid
died the decision of the Attorney
General making void the govern
ment contracts for ships with John
Roach, by means of which Roach's
yards were closed and thousands Of
workmen thrown out of employ
ment. With such a rule as that
laid down by the Attorney General,
remarked the Senator, none but a
fool or a mad man would take a
contract to build a ship or anything
else. Another case of disregard of
American interests, said the Sen
;ator, was the notification of the law
of the last session of Congress ap-
proprating $400,OOO to enable the
Postmaster General to contract, af-
ter legal advertisement, with the
lowest bidder among American
steamship companies for the trans
portation of foreign mails. BY dis
regarding this law, the Postmaster
General has violated its spirit, if not
ats letter, has shown a contempt for
the interests of American ships and
HAS acted solely in the interest of
foreign steamship lines.
In regard to the financial man
agement of the Administration,
Senator Sherman said the only thing
that has been accomplished is the
change in the form Of the monthly
debt statement, which has conclu.
Sively shown how foolish Mr.. Hen.
bricks was in the last campaign in
stating that there was $40O,OOO,OOC
belonging to the United States ly
ing idle in the Treasury, kept there
by the Republican party. Nobody
can find that surplus.
The Administration has done
nothing, that the Senator can see, tc
restore confidence, to encourage in
dustry, or bring about better times
Its chief and almost sole occupation
has been the turning out of expert
enced and valued officials to max,
room for green and inefficient par
tisans, in defiance of the civil ser
vice law, and much to the detrimen
of the revenue collection and tn
postal service.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1885-09-04

neighbors in Charleston did the
same, and l venture to say there
are no better repaired or smoother
roads anywhere in the State than
in this town and immediate vicinity.
This part of the article was entirely
uncalled for and unkind.
Next is suggested an expenditure
on cemeteries. This idea is good and |
| would like to see it done, but we
must deal with two cemeteries or
none; and before the work could be
completed the expense would reach |
hundreds of dollars. The taxes in
this town are high, far above the
average in the State, and it needs
only straw to break the camel's
back, and until we have retrenched
and improved in some actually nee
essary directions, we must trust to
the regard of the living to keeping
hallowed the resting place of the
dead.
The last subject of remark in the
suggestions of our unknown friend
strikes me as rather comical. He
says, 'Island Pond implies an island
in a pond" Well, what on earth
is it if not an island in a pond !?
Webster says pond is sheet of
water smaller than a lake; he also
says lake is a large sheet of water,
larger than a pond. claim that a
body of water less than two miles
long is not dramatically a lake,
and unless Captain Dunlap brings it
over in his scow and spreads it on
the 'tiat" before you go to press,
we can look out of the window any
time and all see the 'island in a
pond" Just think of the amount of
labor involved in changing the name
of Island Pond to Brighton. Known
