when one section of the country is SOL
idly arrayed on political issues against
another section. But they have also
come to realize that the evil is one
which cannot be remedied by the dec
lamation of orators or by sledge- ham
mer blows. They realize that, even if
the Federal government had autocrat-
ic power, il could not correct the evil
and injustice all at once. They have
come to see that the nation has diff
ficult problem on its hands which only
time and patience and earnest effort
and mutual forbearance can solve.
= After the nation, North and
South, the victors and the vanquished,
have Just Joined as one in paying the
last honors to the hero of the rebellion.
and after the evidence thus freely Civ
EN- that all bitterness and anger have
passed away, it CRATES harshly to hear
Senator Sherman saying to his Ohio
fellow citizens that the "rebels are on
top" and treating as thing for de-
nunciation the fact that "some of them
have ceen placed in high office again.
1t is true that some of the ex-rebels
are in Office again, land here Is Mr.. War
ner's conclusive answer to the charge,
AS pertinent as if made to fit the words
as they came from Mr.. Sherman's lips
at would be, indeed, IL discouraging
fact if any considerable portion of the
South held aloOf in sullenness from
Federal affairs. Nor is it any just
cause either of reprOach or of uneasi-
ness that men who were prominent in
the war of the rebellion should be
prominent now in official positions, for
with few exceptions the worth and
weight of the South went into the war"

publishing local notices concerning 1T
for some weeks. He gets mad, nurses
his wrath at home while the exercises
are going on, bites his own nose off by
refusing to print a word about the Gel
ebratiOn in his paper, the Tribune, and
then sends in bill for publishing the
local notices referred to. Meanwhile
the Rutland Herald, with Characters
tic enterprise, gives daily and extend
ed reports of the whole affair and, of
course, the people buy the Herald and
pass by the Tribune. Then follows a
racy account of the affair in the Her
aid, and then letter from the COM
mittee having in charge the centennial
exercises, then a very ''independent"
letter from the editor himself, and,
finally, the matter has reached the dig
nifty of an editorial in the Springfield
Republican, and the Ludlow editor has
achieved fame.
Now there is no denying that the
Ludlow man has acted very foOlishly,
though he says in his letter that he is
''the fool or tool of no man." Still, we
cannot help sympathizing with him
Just a bit. There is not an editor in
the state but has been asked over and
over again to publish local notices of
things to come, and has been ''forgOt-
ten" and left to pay his own expenses
into the entertainment he has freely
advertised and that he generally has
no personal interest in, or to force his
way in where he hardly knows whether
he is wanted or not, in order that he
report the affair, for woe be to him if
the next issue of his paper does not
notice each person identified with it.
| TO be sure it is his business somehow,
70 get the news and publish it, but it
is none the less the business of the So
cieties of every community to do eve
rything in their power to help him to
the desired facts. This they are gener-
ally willing to do and do cheerfully, but
if they forget the editor he must show
these careless people how much of Il
| Christian he can be when put to it, he
must possess his soul in patience, sub
due his angry passions, smile sweetly
all the while, but in any event he must
give the news,-and he generally does.
The Ludlow man is an exception.

The Poor Journalist.

A blOodless war is raging at Ludlow.
There is an editor in the fight who has
probably gained more fame through
out New England in single week be-
cause of his pig-headedness than he
could have acquired in lifetime by
writing double-leaded editorials.
Week before last Ludlow celebrated
the semi-centennial of the founding of
Black River academy. 1t was the one
great event in the history of the town.
The editor of the local paper, by acct
dent or intent, was not invited to at
tend the exercises, though he had been

A BAD FAILURE.

ID. c. Harrington, merchant and mill
owner at West Danville, has succumb-
ed to the hard times and will call Il
meeting of his creditors at st. Johns
bury at an early day to arrange for
some kind of settlement. Mr.. Far
ringtOn has been close calculating,
hard working man. In addition to his
store and Patent medicine business, he
last year put some $4,000 into the Nc
NaughtOn mill, and this with dull
times has cramped him. Most of his
property is mortgaged, aud his unse-
cured liabilities will reach nearly &c.
600.

by falling into 30-fOot moving water
wheel. Mr.. Brown and wife, with C..
W. Gardner and wife of Springfield,
Mass, were travelling in carriage to
Manchester and stopped at Putney for
the night. Brown and Gardner stroll
ed into the mill and while watching
the revolving wheel from high slip
perry platform, Mr.. Brown lost his bal
ance, fell headlOng inside and was car
ried around for two or three minutes
before the wheel could be stopped. DR..
Gale was summoned from BrattlebOrO,
who, with DR.. Foster made an eXami-
nation that disclosed fracture at the
base of the brain, from which injury he
died.
CHARGED WITH ROBBING THE MAILS.
Darwin G. Pierce, IS, transfer mail
agent in the Rutland depot for Is
years, was arrested Thursday charged
with robbing the mails, and put under
$1,000 bonds. Valuable letters have
been missed at Rutland since March
and nearly the whole mail of July IL
with bank papers, ETC., amounting to
$40, 900 was lost. Detectives, have
been at work several weeks, and Il
postal card dropped in the freight yard
gave clew. Pierce has stood well in
the community. He has wife and
three children and denies his guilt. At
the hearing Mr.. Pierce showed an alibi,
satisfactorily proving that he was in
Cambridge July III. He was at once
liberated and the authorities are cen
sured for causing his arrest without a
more thorough investigation. Mystic
ry seems to surround the whole bust
ness.
Since the above was written Henry,
the lSyear-old son of Darwin C. Pierce
has made a full confession of the rob-
berries. AS soon as the fathers claim
was shown to be true, suspicion turn
ed to the son, who finally made a clean
breast of the business. Young Pierce
was promptly arrested and then re-
leased on bail.

The Chinese Massacre.

''lt was nothing but IL massacre of
delenseless people, Thus closed the
Geographic dispatches that announced
the massacre of over 30 Chinese labor
ers in the coal mines ut Rock Springs,
Wyoming, a few days ago. A number
of Cinnamon had been employed to
work in the mines. They were sup
planting, in some degree, the old min
ers. A quarrel was provoked, one
thing led to another until the China
men were attacked in their houses and
were not even allowed the hour that
the mob ut first promised them in
which to leave the place, but while
they were preparing to go quietly
away were shot down like so many
dogs, and those who attempted to es-
cape were shot at and many killed as
they ran.
No wonder that the press of the
country joins in asking what if this
had happened to Americans in China
What if American travellers or mer-
chants or laborers had been thus cru
ely murdered there? Reparation would
be the cry and there would not be
wanting those who would desire to
make it a preteXt for war. Ii is no
time now to talk of justification" on
the part of the murderers. They
should Ice brought to immediate JUS
tice and treated in no way differently
from other murderers. Doubtless the
old miners had cause for complaint.
but they had no legal or moral right to
attempt the settlement of the question
with bullets.
