ROCKVILLE.

Cor. Hartford Post Between the hours of Saturday night and Sunday morn ing the statue of Dr. Fl. D. Cogswell was removed from the drinking fountain, and, like Moses of old, his burial place is un- known. This act, while it cannot be ap- proved by law-abiding citizens, removes an unsightly object, and in this view of the matter people will say that the end justifies the means. The plan of foun- tain which was offered to and accepted by the town, called for granite and was to be surmounted by some ideal figure. The town appropriated $500 for the purchase of lamps, curbing, etc., necessary to com. ply with the conditions imposed by the doctor. Votes of thanks without number were publicly and privately passed and ar engagements made for grand celebration when the fountain should be set up. But when the car load of cases arrived and the box chisel and hammer brought to light | type metal enough to build another wing to the capitol, everybody said ''Whew r There are various theories for the removal, and the one most reasonable is this The democrats had their caucus Saturday evening and it was midnight before they could fix up their ticket. Recognizing the strength of the temperance vote in Rockville it is said that with their usual good judgment they decided to put one man on their ticket who was pronounced cold water man, and as everybody knew where Dr. Cogswell stood and had been standing he would best answer their pur pose. e.---

ABOUT CONTRACT LABOR AND THINGS.

Our contemporaries are engaged in
discussion which does a great deal
more credit to their hearts than to
their heads. A "hard head" and a
"soft heart" are usually regarded as
constituting a pretty fair kind of
man; but when anyone is soft all
over he is not counted for much
among his fellows. Now, our didactic
contemporaries appear to be in the
latter condition. Their heads are as
soft as their hearts. They want to
substitute sentiment for self-interest
as the regulating force in the indus
trial world, and we presume, also, to
be entirely consistent, in the conduct
of barter and exchange. They would
have an equal, that is an equitable,
division of the profits of labor, and
trade would be conducted on their
plan with the motive of profit elimin-
ated.
This is the advanced socialistic doc
trine in a nutshell, and of course it
implies an entire reconstruction of
the social system. Apart altogether
from the abstract idea involved, we
hold that it is impossible of realiza-
ton. And the reason why is plain to
all practical thinkers. Social condi-
tiOns, in every stage of the worlds
history, have been the Outcomeof expe-
rience and education, speaking broad
ly. These social conditions are the
resultant of the impulses constituting
human nature. Hence it follows that
social changes are slow and gradual,
with here and there a cataclysm as it
were, caused by one order of society
undertaking to impede, if not to
wholly nullify the unvarying law of
social evolution. The great French
Revolution is a case in point on a
grand scale. Strikes are cases in
causes which led to the French Revo-
luton and to labor strikes, big or
little, differ only in degree.
The true reformer then is the man |
who weighs all social forces Alright; |
who takes in the whole range of motive
and opportunity, governed by neces-
sity or chance, which influence cap
ital and labor, and regulate the con-
ditions of trade and interchange, and
not the man who sees, it may be,
single face Of the social prism. This
grand conception of social forces con-
stitntes the highest form of practical
and is not to be found
among doctrinaires or bookmen. The
latter are idealists; the former are
men of action. Now, inasmuch as
what are known as social forces
are but the expression of incessant
action, it follows that to the states
man and not to the dreamer is al
Iotted. by the common consent of
mankind, the supreme Task of gov

they all use plug tobacco. You couldn't

less it was the case of some old fellow
whose teeth were so bad he had to give
up the plug. All the southerners use
plug. The eastern men, and those from
the north and west generally use fine-cut;
but you can't sell it to genuine south
erner. The eastern men generally spend
the most money for tobacco in one way or
the other They buy the best they can
get, and when they smoke, run high up in
price. These New York fellows who

Little Tangles.

Once there was king who employed
his people to weave for him. The silk
and the patterns were all given by the
king. He told the workers that when
any difficulty arose they should send to
him, and never to fear troubling him.
Among the men and women busy at
their looms was one little child the
king did not think too young to work.
Often alone at her work, cheerfully and
patiently she labored. One day, when
the men and women were distressed at
the sight of their failures, the silks
were tangled and the weaving unlike
the patterns, they gathered round the
child and said: "Tell us how it is that
you are so happy in your work. We are
always in difficulties" "Then why do
you not send to the king?" said the
little weaver; he told us we might do
So" $50 we do, night and morning"
Ah," said the child, but l send di-
rectly when l find l have a little
tangle." So let us take all wants and
troubles directly to the Lord in prayer
He invites us to do so, and promises to
help us.-WOrd and Work.
