THE CONTROVERSY EDNED.

 Toned TraAps.

The New Milford Gazette frequently publishes long articles copied from the NKws. It annually copies large pro- portion of our reports of the Pine Grove camp meetings. Two weeks ago it cop jed entire our correspondents report of the Farmers convention at Norwich. We do not object to tine Gazatte copying articles from the NEWS Iii fact We will cheerfully and willingly prorile feast each week for the Gazette's readers if Bolles will only distribute it to them. Last week we honored Editor Bolles by publishing his report of the drama, 'eThe Conf derate Spy" Bolles does not appreciate the courtesy, for in re- turn for the prominence we gave him he says, "Beckley understands how to get rid of writing a long report of local event." Very true; whenever we are offered a palace car ticket from AL bany to B. ffalo we shall accept it in preference to working our passage on the canal If the evolutionists desire to tramp, they are welcome to. We were pleased to have Editor Bolles turn our grind stone, for 1t saved us hard work. Perhaps he would have condensed his report. not turned the crank SO long, had he known he was also grinding our axe. Editor Bolles had an axe of his own to grind, so he worked well, hope he did not blister his hands, but we smiled to see him pitch in.
 Editor Bolles also says: "Beckley, we congratulate you. You are already an evolutlonist, a very progressive one in tact In not great while we expect to see you so we'll evolved tha. you will be able to get out a1 admirable local paper without doing anything yourself When the average. or even the uncommon edi- tor like the accomplished conductor of tho Canaan News, Is able to live without work, what more can he ask As Mrs Jethro would say: 1T tell ye, this ere evilution is wonderful thing" or as the classic c. James, A. M., would put 1sevolution exemplifies the dream of the high-toned tramp, otiuna cum dignitdte. :"
 We deny the charge of being either a1 evolutionist or a high-toned tramp; furthermore we are surprised that Editor Bolles, that great apostle of evolution, should admit and affirm that an evolutionist and high-toned tramp are synonymous. We'll, we'll, Neighbor Bolles you must either renounce evolu- tion or be c,assed with the tramps. Which horn of the dilemma will you take ?

It is not generally known that Evarts, Sherman and Hoar are cousins-remote, to be sure, but all of them are descend ants of that famous jnrist and revolu- ionary patriot, Roger Sherman, one of the first senators from Connecticut. When Evarts and Sherman used to sit together in the cabinet of President Hayes the former often addressed the secretary of the treasury as "Cousin John"

 While all the church wondered. Dire the precentor's glare, Flashed the pitchfork in air, Sounding fresh keys to bear
 Out the "Old Hundred" Swiftly he turn'd his back, Reach'd he his hat from rack. Then from the screaming pack
 Himself he sundered. Tenors to right of him, Trebles to left of him. Discords behind him

  The wedding, which was the precur- sor of these cards, was a very quiet one, owing to recent death of near rela- tive, only the immediate family and one or two personal friends being present. It took place on Thursday, the 31st of December, at 12 o'clock, noon, at the house of the brides father, Mir Silas Wells, Rose Hill. The bridal pair en- tered the room treading upon flowers strewn along their path, the beautiful bride wearing travelling dress of brown. The ceremony was performed simply and beautifully by the Rev MT Goddard of the Congregational church, and the congratulations and good wishes which followed were echoed by the many absent friends of the newly welded pair. Af- ter delicious wedding breakfast de- parting under shower of rice and old shoes, MT and Mrs Hart drove to take the Housatonic southward bound train. Many valuable gifts attest the regard of their friends and the good wishes which follow them into the new life before them Mir Hart is young lawyer in active practice in New York, and there he will take the charming bride whom it has been his good fortune to win. Down the long vista of coming years, l may their life be as serene and happy as the wishes of their friends would make 1t. H.

gradually decreased and the cancer became
less and less in size until nothing remains ex-

cancer. All who have seen me since hare
commenced the use OF B. B. B. bear testimony

SOME ignoramus of colossal proportions is
telegraphing stuff to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
of which the following is sample, appearing
in yesterdays issue:
ga copy of the records Of the Vigo County
Commissioners, containing an account of the
abolition of the Office of magistrate to which
Cornelius Meagher was elected, arrived here
this evening, and is in possession of the Dem
ocratic State committee. These records show
that the Office was abolished last September,
long before election day. This has created no
little surprise in Republican ranks, as it is
generally held that if the office was abolished,
of course Meagher could not be indicted into
something that did not exist and is. there
fore, not a magistrate, and at liberty to hold
other Office"
If this long-eared Individual could get g
copy of the Revised Statutes, he would save
making an exhibition of himself. The County
Commissioners cannot legislate a justice of
the peace out of Office. The law prevents
that And besides, in the Vigo county case

THERE is no reputable Democratic lawyer
who will maintain for moment that the or
Ger of the Vigo Commissioners reducing the
number Of justices of the peace for Terre
Haute could possibly affect Mr.. Meaghers
title to his Office after he had taken the oath
and filed his bond. When he did that he be-
came fulIy-qualifed justice of the peace and
the statute authorizing the reduction Of the
number of justices specially says that such
order of reduction shall not operate to remove
any justice from office. When Mr.. Meagher
qualified" by taking the oath and filing the
bond, he voluntarily incapacitated himself for
any other than judicial Office during the
term for which he was elected justice of the
peace. The case is conclusive against Mr.
Meagher at all points.

it appear that President Cleveland is responsible
for the recent reverses to the Democratic cause
The Sentinel does not say shat his administration
has been un- Democratic. only he hasn't turned
the rascals out" fast enough.
1t hasn't been many months since the Indian
apolis Sentinel itself called halt on the policy
of the administration in that regard. The Sen
tinel protested against further appointments of
thieves" and penitentiary BIRDS to office, even
on the recommendation of Democrats in high
places. 1t was departure from the merit to the
spoils system, for which the Sentinel had been
and is now clamoring, and yet it scolds Presi-
dent Cleveland for making haste slowly" after
his bitter experience with the Sentinel's friends

defeat it must look elsewhere than to the re-
fusal of Mr.. Cleveland to make political pro-
