NOT YET "RECoNCILED.r

The speech of Senator Sherman Mt
Mount Gilead, O., is an emphatic and
OutspOken presentation of political is
sues, principally those of national
character. AS regards State questions,
the Senator touches only upon the
temperance issue, deprecating it's in
PRODUCTION into politics, and express
ing his conviction in favor of tax laws,
and laws restraining the liquor traffic.
The Senator's views upon national
questions are of kind which will
pretty certainly draw upon him the fire
of the mugwumps, for he does not APP
pear to have heard of that ''era of rec
onciliatiOnn which exists in the mug
wump imagination. 1t does not seem
to him matter for testing or cynical
treatment that the votes of large bodies
of men are virtually suppressed, while
the numerical strength which they rep
resent is utilized to give to their enc
mics and OppressOrs more votes in
Congress and the electoral college

good right to be there as John Sher-

The New Hampshire Legislature, af-
ter sitting three months and passing
2I5 bills and joint resolutions, very
few of which were of any Importance,
closed last Saturday. All weighty
legislation, says the Springfield Re
publican, was shelved for the next in
experienced crowd of citizens who will
he hOnored 10y their towns simply be-
canse they were never hOnOred before.
The adjourned body is called the
weakest and greenrst set of Legislators
that ever met in the Concord state
house.
The same evil is apparent in New
Hampshire that affiicts Vermont. Each
district feels bound never to send the
same man twice, and a certain town in
Vermont boasts that it has sent every
voting citizen in it's limits to the legis-
lature once, and is now impartially
distributing the honor second time.
This sounds Il little large, but Il
thoroughly informed FermOnter says
he wouldn't care to dispute it.

CAPTURING A BURGLAR UNDER DIFF
CULTIES.

| CAPTURING A BURGLAR UNDER DIFF
CULTIES.
| III. f. Clifford of RoyaltOn arose last
| Thursday morning at 2 o'clock and
was passing his bedroom door, which
opens into the sitting room, when he
saw a man examining the china cup
board at the opposite side of the room,
the entry and outside doors being wide
open. The man ran from the house,
Mr.. Clifford closely following. In the
road, about six rods from the door, Mr..
Clifford seized him by the collar, but
the rascal turned and with blow with
his revolver felled him to the ground.
| AS Mr.. Clifford bounded to his feet to
resume the chase the burglar fired at
him but missed him, and then resumed
his flight. Mr.. Clifford followed, bare
footed, and Overtaking him made a
successful leap for the fellows back
and held his hands to his sides, at the
same time trying to get the revolver,
which the burglar held with both
hands. In this way Mr.. Clifford rode
for eighteen rods. Then the burglar
stumbled and fell upon his face, Mr..
Clifford still being upon his back. o.
l.. Morse, Mr.. Gifford's On-in-law,
who lives just across the way, heard
the rush from the house and was at his
door when the revolver was fired. He
arrived, revolver in hand, just as the
burglar fell, and placing his revolver
at the burglars head, cooked it and
demanded his surrender and Selling
the burglars pistol succeeding in
wrenching it away. AS soon as he ex-
claimed 'HFve got it," Mr.. Clifford stood
the burglar on his feet and marched
him to the house, Mr.. Morse following
with the two revolvers. When in the
house Mr.. Burglar was seated and re-
lieved of the contents Of his pockets,
twenty pound paper bag full. Among
them was Mr.. GiffOrd's change bag,
containing Sl4.24, which he had taken
from his pants on a lounge in the sit
ting room. When Sheriff Wallace
came he found the bag to contain three
silver watches and $l63, besides nu-
merOus articles of little or no value,
and afterwards found $I4 in shirt
pocket. The burglar was carried to
jail. He is a muscular man, weighing
I741 pounds. His photograph was
taken mt South Royalton, where he
gave the name Of jackson Smith of
New York, aged % years. He had
been around the neighborhoOd several
days, pretending to he crazy. Mr..
Gifford's injuries are slight, consider
ing how hard the struggle was.

REMOVAL OF RECEIVER ROBERTS.

Receiver Roberts of the First Nation
al bank at st. Adams has been rcmOv-
ed by Controller Cannon. 1t is thought
that the removal is due to the efforts
of the SOwles brothers and A. Burton,
directors of the defunct bank, whom
Roberts has been squeezing hard in
order to make good depOsitOrs' losses.
Roberts has worked persistently for
the banks creditors, and his removal
will cause much dissatisfaction among
them. Cashier Albert Sowles is under
Indictment for making false reports
and specializing with the bank funds.
There are two suits against Directors
Burton and SOwles for the amount due
on their paper, about $4,000. There
are also suits against Burton and others
for mismanagement of the funds and a
writ of sequestratiOn against Burton
and others, involving 5000, 900. There
is all indictment against Burton for
perjury and a judgment against Z. A.
SOwles for assessment of $34, 900; an
execution against III. Z. Lewis for
$1,000 and indictments against 4. A.
and Albert SOwles for making false re-
turns. All these suits have been
brought by order of the controller
With so many suits pending, it is
thought to be all unfortunate time for
IL change.

Now that the Englishmen are reused
they propose to turn all the rascals
out. For some time past II number OF
Mormon missionaries have been at
work in the east end of London max
ing converts and prOselytes in spite al
opposition. They have gone 80 far at
to kidnap Young women and ship them
To Utah to be "sealed" to rich Nor
mons Last week an Infatuated mot
took possession of the hall i'll which
the missionaries were speaking. The
elders fled for their lives but not soon
enough to escape IA pretty thorough
pounding, some of them being left OH
the pavement for dead. BY the way,
how happens it that such Il nefariOus
business continues To be carried on

that the United States comes in for Il
share of the responsibility.

The dime novel continues to put in
