A Terrible Indictment

AS one result of the peculiar feature of Nor
monism is said by the Saints to be IA fulfill
ment of the Scriptural injunction, "Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth;" and as
the Mormons profess to be devoted to their
children, there ought to be in Utah rising
generation of high intelligence. Yet the Salt
Lake Tribune says: There has never yet
been Il Mormon scholar in the sense in which
the term is used in other countries; there has
never yet been Mormon school worthy of the
name of school; there cannot be found in any
Northern or Western State any community OF
one hundred and fifty thousand souls. like the
Mormon community in Utah, where there are
no real scholars
If the Salt Lake Tribune is wrong the Saints
ought TO correct it by telling who and where
the educated Mormons are and what they are
doing and why the rest of the world never
hears of them. N. Y. Herald.

Paper Bedclothes.

A papermaking firm in New Jersey has for
several weeks been turning out counterpanes
and pillows of paper. No. MANILA paper is
used, two large sheets being held together by a
slender twinc at. intervals of three or four
inches. The twine is gummed so as to hold the
sheets firmly together where it lies. A hem is
placed on the counterpane to keep it from tear
ing; the safety edge is composed of twine.
Ornamental designs are stamped on the outer
surfaces of the covers and cases, giving them a
neat, attractive appearance. When these coun-
terpanes and pillow-cases become wrnkled
from use they can easily be smoothed out with
a hot tiatiron. The counterpanes can be left on
the bed when it is occupied and in cold weather
will be found a warm covering, paper prevent
ing the escape of heat The new paper bed
clothing is 70 cents per set and will probably
become popular.

Union Deaths in the Late Wa,

A year ago Mr. j. W. kirkley, a skillful
siati>tician in the Adjutant General, office,
was directed to begin Il compilation of the
records of the deaths that occurred in the
Union army during the war of the Rebellion.
AS the result of very careful investigation by
an ample clerical force of all the official dGcll-
ments, Mr.. kirkley has been able to present by
far the most satisfactory report which has yet
been presented upon this subject. The period
included in this record is from April 10, 1861,
until the muster out of the volnnteer organic
ations. The grand result is 95S4 deaths of com
missioned officers and $40 ,9l2 deaths OF enlisted
men. The causes of the deaths are as follows
The Republican journal., 1885-06-25

But full as this record is, it is not complete.
The death records of some of the largest prs-
ons in the South are missing, as follows Amer
icus, Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Lynch
burg, Macon, Marietta, Mobile. Montgomery.
Savannah, Shreveport and Tyler. Only par
tal records are found of four other prisons.
The losses in some of these have been estimat-
ed from the data found, but the figures, 10000
in round numbers, are doubtless considerably
below the actual number of deaths in Confed-
crate prisons. The total number of deaths,
800, 900 in round numbers, represents the deaths
of soldiers alone, to which must be added those
who died in the navy. The result of this in
vestigation makes the number of deaths one
sixth greater than hitherto reported. Boston

Yielding to Treatment.

The Mormon cancer seems to be COM
ing to head rather faster than has
been anticipated by the friends of de-
cency. The government is apprehend-
ing trouble in Utah. The Mormons,
it is said, are in an ugly mood and,
now that some of the troops have been
withdrawn from the vicinity of Salt
Lake City, are more open in their def
ance of federal authority than ever.
There is no question but that, sooner or
later, there will be Mormon rebellion
that will have to be suppressed by the
military. The Mormon establishment
is house built on the sand and the
sooner the flood comes to wash the
"saints" from the face of the country
the better.

PROHIBITION WINS IN GEORGIA.


Mention of the news from Georgia
was crowded out of these columns last
week, but it was good enough to keep.
The color line and all other lines were
obliterated in the temperance contest
in Atlanta. OF the 1876 counties in
Georgia over 100 have taken advan-
tage of the local option law, and have
declared in favor of prohibition. And
now to Atlanta is accorded the honor
of being .i.e first large city of the state
and of the South, to make the expert
ment. The contest between the .swet'
and "dry" men as they are called is
not over yet, and every obstruction
possible seems likely to be put in the
way of the execution of the law, bu
the action of the state is encouraging
and the outlook hopeful.
Possibly we of New England may
learn a lesson from our Southern broth
ers. Under the present local option
law in Georgia these elections are for
hidden in any month in which general
elections are held. Thus the rum
question is made a distinct issue anC
separated from all local or nationa
questions that, with us, so often defeat
the wishes of the temperance voters.

THE 10th CONGRESS-.

The 10th congress convened on Mon
day. The republicans, having offered
the presidency of the senate to Sena-
tor Logan who positively declined the
honor, finally elected Senator Sherman,
who was conducted to the chair by
Senator Edmunds. So this matter is
settled and well and wisely settled and
talk concerning it is over except among
the intensely "gOOd" republicans who
are gathering great deal of comfort
from the fact that Senator Edmunds,
who declined to allow the use of his
name, has been defeated" as they are
pleased to term it. Mr.. Carlisle, as
was expected, was again chosen speak
or of the house.
Aside from the drawing of seats,
nothing was done the first day and the
presidents message was read Tuesday.
The 10th congress reports itself "ready
for business" and there is business
enough on hand. 1t only remains to
be seen whether the winter will be
taken up with talk or business.

HOW TO DISCONTINUE A PAPER

Occasionally people are heard to
paper discontinued. There is one
very easy way to stop paper, name
ly: Pay all dues there may be and
then order it discontinued. But be
sure and pay arrearages before order
ing paper stopped. About this sea-
son of the year a good many thought
less or mean people allow their news
paper to run from three weeks to two
months over the time and then order
it stopped without paying up. A lit
tie thought on the part of any one will
only takes twelve such persons who
have allowed their paper to over run a
month each to make years subscrip-
ton lost at the publication office. A
case in point The postmaster at East
Burke writes this Office Dec. 5, that
The CaledOnian going to certain sub
scriber there is "nOt wanted" By re
ferring to the margin of the paper he
could easily have seen that there were
five weeks due on that subscription,
and post master should know, if the
subscriber does not, that the decisions
of courts, as we'll as equity, require all
arrearages paid before publisher is
obliged to stop a newspaper.
After newspaper is paid for to date
and ordered stopped, then if another
number is received, the subscribers
duty is not to take it from the office,
but to request the postmaster to re-
turn it to the Office of publication. The
method is very easy and very simple.
1t requires no writing of letters or ex-
pense of postage stamps. If the pub
lie will remember these directions they
will find it extremely easy to stop any
paper. But first pay for it. There is
no more reason for IA publisher to give
13 months newspaper for Il year than
there is for farmer to give five pecks
for bushel, or a merchant 20 ounces
for pound.

THE MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message was
published Tuesday. The principle
criticism it receives is concerning it's
extreme length. This prevents even a
condensation of the message in this is
sue.
Foreign affairs and our relation to
them are discussed at length. In the
domestic affairs of this nation the
questions of silver coinage, the tariff
and civil service reform are, perhaps,
the most important. Then, but hard
ly less in Importance, comes the navy,
MormOnism, the Indian question and
the presidential succession.
He argues strongly against the con-
tinued coinage of Overvalued silver
dollars. While asserting the necessi-
ty of reducing the revenue he is hard
ly as pronounced on the tariff as on
some other questions. On civil service
reform he holds to his we'll known re-
form views. The necessity of thor
ough reorganization Of the navy de-
partment is also urged. His severe
structures OIL the Mormon evil will be
approved by men of all shades of polit-
zeal opinion. His friendly attitude
toward the Indians is strengthened in
the renewed declaration that they
must be fitted for citizenship. Inme-
date legislation on the matter of pres
idential succession is urged in conclu-
sion.
The message is generally well re-
ceived. The Tribune says, sit is a
creditable paper" and the Boston
Journal, that at least it is not a weak
one. 1t is specially commended for its
freedom from partizanship and it's can
dor.

LYNDONvILLE.


A collision in the railroad yard here
on Tuesday morning caused a loss to
the r. r. Co. of five or ten thousand
dollars. The Air Line train north, due
here at 3.O2 a. M, arrived here about
one hour late. At the north end of the
yard, while going at a speed of 30 miles
an hour, this train ran into an engine
which was just coming from the round
house on to the main line. Both en-
gines-the "Passumpsic" and the
"Massaw completely de-
mOlished. 1t seems miraculous that
no one was killed or even seriously
hurt. The only person injured was
Engineer Geo. Shorey who received
some bruises. The forward end of the
baggage car was badly smashed None
of the cars left the track, the autOmat-
ic brakes working perfectly. The ac-
cident was caused by the failure OF
the fireman, Hawkins, who was taking
the "Passumpsic" out of the round
house, to ascertain whether the Ali
Line had passed before taking out his
engine. A large number of people Wis
tied the scene of the wreck on Tues
day. The track was cleared in less
than four hours.
Fred Stevens, freight conductor, has
left the Pass. r. r. employ and has
moved to st. JOhnsbury where he goes
to work for the Lake road.

that Chairman S. S. Brown of the Maine

tributiOn of the patronage in Vermont

Mr.. TiIden Smells Danger.

Uncle Sam Tilden has issued sort
of manifesto, or message, or something
from GreystOne, in the form of a letter
to Carlisle, in which he urges that the
surplus revenues of the country be APP
piled to improving our coast defences.
In the IL principal sea-ports he says
that the property exposed to destruc-
ton cannot be less ia value than So
OOO, 100000. He declares that ga million
of soldiers with the best equipments,
on the nights surrounding the harbor
of New York, in our present state OF
preparation, would be powerless to re-
sist small squadron of war steamers.
This is bad, indeed, and Uncle Sans
suggestions may be worthy careful
consideration, after all.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

While many newspapers are giving at this season
of the year their annual prospectus, with review
OF the past and promises for the future The CAL
RDoNIAN will simply announce that although in
common with almost every other industry it has
felt the hard times, yet its subscription list has
steadily increased during the year. and that now it
is betw nine and ten per cent larger than when
the year begun. While this gain may be nothing
to boast of it certainly something this year of
general depression aud gloom for which we are
truly thankful We consider this fact of an in
crease of subscribers as the very best evidence
that the people like The CALIFORNIAN and purpose
to sustain it, We think it also proves that hard
honest work in a newspaper is recognized and ap
preciated by thepublc. The CALIFORNIAN has never
had so much work put into its columns during
the past year, and we expect to continue to give
readers the coming year their full moneys
worth regardless of expense or hard times.
And now a word to our friends everywhere: If
The CALEDoNIAN is the kind of paper that tits
desirable to have in community if it is worth the
while to sustain clean, honest, well printed care
fully edited, wholesome newspaper, conducted by
those who have convictions and who aim to make
their utterance speak for the best let have your
support and also your influence in helping to ex-
tend its circulation. The CALIFORNIAN should be
in every family in this county. In what other way
can three or four cents week be spent to better
advantage2
Each issue of The CALIFORNIAN is evidence that
business men understand that it's columns are the
very best medium to reach customers, as the paper
goes into families and is read and preserved There
but few households within radius of five miles
of this office which it does not enter weekly 1t is
the best as it is the cheapest means for business
men to reach the people.
