BURLINGToN's "MIGHT HAVE BEEN. .
1t is said Mr.. Chauncv Warner OF
Cambridge, came down to Burlington
a few years ago and visited some OF
the lady managers of our "Home for
Destitute" and told them he had an
inclination to give a small sum for aid
to children in certain line of charity,
and desired to know if they would
undertake to be managers of the fund
he was inclined to give, and to carry
out his line of charity. He was a
remarkably plain, quiet spoken man,
and it is reported that the manager
gave him very plain wise lecture
upon the proper way to give charity,
to trust it entirely to the wisdom of
the managers without restriction-to
put it into the general fund and let
them determine when and how to ex-
pend it, that tying up funds to any
special purpose usually proved disas-
trous to the giver's real purpose.
When the lecture was over he meekly
remarked that there was a point in
volved that he would think of more at
his leisure, and they might hear from
him again. They soon after heard
from him,-heard that he had bought
a lovely tract of land IN one of the
pleasantest locations on the hill back
of St. Adams village for a home for
little wanderers, and had given be-
ginning toward permanent funds for
sustaining it. Recently he has been
heard from again with generous do
nation as given below. 1t should not
be supposed our Home feels otherwise
than pleasant to hear what he is doing.
for it is all the same common cause in
which they are MISUNDERSTANDING
ton Independent.

President Cleveland sent to the
Sen ate last week, message, which is
an extraordinary document. Mr..
Edmunds appropriately likened it to
the messages sent to Parliament by
that misguided monarch Charles L.
The message grew out of request
from the Senate for the papers in the
removal of certain officials. In it the
President lectures coordinate branch
of the Government on it's powers and
duties, but his reasons for this extra
ordinary proceeding is not clear. The
New York World, the leading Demo
cratic paper of the country, is not
pleased with the message. 1t con-
dennis it as remarkable in tone, in
its defiant character and in its evident
intent to provoke rather than avoid a
conflict" with the Senate. 1t con-
cludes by declaring, with great re-
greet, that the attitude taken by the
President will not strengthen his
argument or his position generally"

The PARDoNED HIGHwAYMAN.-
The Presidents action in pardoning
from the Albany penitentiary the two
Texas outlaws and highwaymen named
Herndon and Pipes, is defended at
the White House on the ground of
their brave services in volunteering 10
nurse their fellow convicts during the
recent deadly epidemic of tvphus fe-
ven in the penitentiary. They volun-
teered their services alone of all the
other convicts, and stayed at. their
posts while 40 men died of the dis
ease. The district attorney went on
to Washington and plead for their
pardon. Some Texas influence Sc
cured Attorney General Garland's in
fluence, and the President granted the
request with the following indorse-
ment: Granted, upon the ground
that these prisoners have earned their
release by their voluntary service to
the sick and dying at the risk of their
lives, when the typhus fever prevailed
in the penitentiary where they were
confined" 1t is not claimed that they
have shown any disposition to reform
or not to return to the ways which
made them for years the terror of
Northern Texas and secured for them
even down there life sentence. They
are both young men and the boldest
kind of criminals.

The House committee has recon
mended an appropriation of fifteen
and a half million dollars for carrying
the mails by rail for the next tisca
year, which is one million in exces:
of the appropriation for last year
and which is exclu i've Of nearly rwo
millions to be paid for hauling posta
cars. The recommendation will be
opposed by Townshend Of Illinois
and others, Mr.. Townshend has 6
bill which he believes would save the
government two million dollars annu-
ally. He claims that the government
is paying practically the same rates
for the transportation of the mails
now that it did a dozen years ago,
while the passenger rates have been
largely reduced, and freight rates on
many lines have been reduced from
one-half to thirds. Three years
ago commission of post-office ex-
perts made report in favor of new
system of paying for the transporta-
ton of the mails. The plan made the
pay depend upon the car space occu-
pied, the weight of mails carried and
the speed of trains. The application
of this plan involves the knowledge OF
considerable mathematics, and Con
gressmen have not yet given it due
consideration. Mr.. Townshend's bill
adopts the plan recommended by this
commission for determining the
pay, but reduces the scale of compen-
saLion. Second Assistant Postmaster
General Knott is preparing a plan
for railway compensation, which
makes the pay depend mostly on the
car space occupied, and not at all on
the rate of speed. The scheme is
Low under consideration by the Post
master General. He may possibly
recommend it TO Congress.

Business men should have bill

Business men should have bill
heads, letter-heads, etc. Of course
they should. There's nothing pays
better than a little money Necessary
to produce them. Of all the savings
made by unwise men, that Of sparing
printers ink is the most extravagant.
And so those people, especially, who
have houses to rent or to sell, and
horses or COWS to dispose of, and who
stick a contemptible scrawl on fence
or in a post-office, in order to save
the small cost of hand-bill, lose ten
times as much as the printing would
cost. A man may want the horse or
the COW, but he is afraid that man
so mean as to begrudge the mere cost
of printing, will forget to tell him
about the heaves of the one or the I'M
ruliness of the other, and ten to one
the house leaks or is in danger of
tumbling down. If you save tie pen
MES which wise men spend in print
ing, the pounds of profit will take suf-
ficient care of themselves to keep out
of your pockets.

The Justice of the Case,

The amount that it will take to pay
arrears of pensions is not the ques-
ton at all. If they are due, then they
should be paid, no matter what
amount it takes to do it.
This is what we said when the ques-
ton of paying the bondholders and
other money creditors of the Govern
ment came up. We said then that it
did not matter what amount it would
take to meet their claims, 1t did not
matter that we were paying them back
two dollars and more for one,-the
only thing that we had to consider was
That we had incurred the debt, and
that we had promised to pay it. We
did our duty to the bondholders un-
finchingly, through years of uncer-
tainty, encouragement, and of hard
times of unequaled severity.
While tens of thousands of our
workingmen were vainly seeking
enough employment to support their
families while merchants were bank
rupting by legions; while corpora
tons were failing and factory wheels
everywhere rusting in idleness, we
kept our taxes to the highest limit and
vigorously collected every dollar as
sessed, in orde: that no man whom
the Government owed should fail to
receive it on the very day when it
was promised to be paid.
Having made this enormous sacri-
fee to pay the bondholder, why can
we not spare a little to do equal justice
to the soldier, his widow and orphan
To pay him all that is due him will
not require the imposition of an adj
ditional cent of taxation, and will
not require particle of sacrifice on
the part of the people. His just
claims can be discharged out of the
surplus income of the Government
without raising the faintest reminder.
even, of the severe struggle made to
raise money to meet the bondholders
requirements.
The soldiers of the country not only
gave their health and strength and
lives on the field of battle to make the
bondholder's property valuable, but
on returning home and to their usual
pursuits they cheerfully aided in pay
ing the heavy taxes which were neces-
sary to meet the bondholder's de-
mands. Now, when they ask that
they be shown some measure of that
homer and justice that they insisted
should be exercised toward him, he,
forgetting every duty of honor and
gratitude, repels them with the state
ment of the amount that it will require
to pay the debt due them. This is
shamefully dishonest.-Ecchange.

A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to their graves a
number of obscure men, who have on
ly remained in obscurity because theil
timidity has prevented them from
making a first effort and who, il
they only can be induced to begin,
would, in all probability, have gone
great lengths in the career of fame.
The fact is, that in order to do any
thing in the world worth doing, we
must not stand shivering on the bank
and think of the cold and danger, but
jump in and scramble through as best
we can.
