in, out of pure envy, and pound and

bleed to see such work. And now the
nasty newspapers are taking it up. If
we were great big newspaper like the

The OleOmagarine bill.-A low-lived trick.

The OleOmagarine bill.-A lOw-lived trick.
In their desperate attempt to defeat
Senator Edmunds, the anti-Edmunds
papers of this State, led on by Gov,
Smiths st. Adams Messenger, have
lately been trying to make the farmers
of Vermont believe that both Edmunds
and Morrill, are deliberately betraying
the interests of the people by trying to
kill the Oleomargarine Bill, designed
to protect the butter manufacturers. A
united howl has gone up from these pa
pers, and not a few unsuspecting farm
ers were for moment deceived, and,
being SO deceived, naturally gave ex-
preston to their anger. But the whole
charge is a fraud of the vilcst kind, and
these papers knew it when they pub
lishcd it. The fact is that both our
Senators have been especially earnest
and active for many months in their ef-
forts to secure the passage of this bill
in form to accomplish just what the
farmers want, and their vote in the
Senate, about which all this row is
made, to refer the bill to the committee

Morrill, is chairman, instead of the com

cause they believed that was the only
proper and safe reference of the bill,
and because they also believed it would
be more likely to be reported more
promptly and in the better shape by
that committee than the other. The
ablest lawyers in the Senate, Senator
Edmunds among them, hold that there
is no warrant in the constitution for the
passage of such bill, except as tax oil

properly belong TO the Finance com
mittee. AS a tax measure these law

bill, and it must be put upon tina
ground in order TO stand. Hence thei
votes to so refer it. Mr.. Edmunds re
marked at the time that he was certain

ence of this bill TO the committee ther,

A fierce fire, which was attended by
the loss of eight lives, destroyed the
New England Institute Fair building
on Huntington avenue, Boston, Mon

by the New England manufacturers
and mechanics institute for exhibition
purposes, at cost of nearly 100000.
Last winter it was purchased by the
Metropolitan Street Railroad company
for $500, 600, and has since been used as
place for the storage and repair of

1t is reported tnat just one half the
votes of Windham county in the state
convention went to Ormsbee. If this
is so, and we see no reason to doubt it
it is proof positive that Batch's man,
ayers in this county were treacherous tc
him, and sold part of his votes to
Ormsbee in exchange for votes for Full.
Ter. This, too, would account in part
for Fuller's unexpected majority
"There's big niger in the fence
somewhere, and Batch ought to find
him, and when he does he'll find Levi
Fuller, e. Washington Hooker and Lo
Martin near by, for they did the selling
and buying. But it was mighty mean
treatment of poor Batch, all the same.

And when the people really set their
hearts upon any measure all the polite
al dcmagogues fall in, witness the alac-
rity with which they come to the aid of
a railroad commission bill. There is no
man understands better how to "make
a virtue of necessity" than the political
hummer. 1t is his stock in trade. And
no State in the union can furnish
brighter examples, in this line, than can
be found in Vermont among governor
Smiths paid retainers and free riders.
The people should trust none of these
fellows with their work. A railroad
commission moulded by this death-bed-
repentance class of demagogues would
be entirely worthless, for they never
fail, when opportunity offers, whatever
their professions, to get in their work
for the master. The people want men
to legislate for them whose views are
founded upon enlightened conviction
and not from political necessity.

dicated again in the developments to BE
brought out in a suit for divorce which Lord
Colin Campbell, younger brother of the
Duke of Argyle, is to bring against his wife,
Lady Campbell, one of England's famous
beauties. A special cable dispatch to the
New York Mail and Express, says that
No less than four men ARE charged in the
petition with intimacy with Lady Colin
Campbell. One of these is duke, who
has been mixed up in several similar
scrapes: another is physician and surgeon,
who only practices among the very elect,
and who is a great society favorite; an
other Is general in the army, who has
also won name and fame by his productions
In literature and art, and another is a cap
tain, whose services to the country have
been more than once recognized by the
powers that be, and who is today valuable

will be engaged in the case will be larger
and more influential than has appeared be-
fore the bar of the divorce court for the past

Why is it that three bottles of b. b. b.

blood remedy, and twice as much consumed
in the state of Georgia as any other prepa-
ration? No one need take our word, but
simply ask the druggists. Ask the people.
They are competent witnesses. Six houses
in Atlanta are buying b. b. B. in five and
ten gross lots, and some of them buy as
often as every two months. Why these un-
precedented sales here at home with so lit

THE HINDU WIDOW.
THE HORRIBLE iNDIeNTTIes THAT
ARE HEAPED UPON HER.

Cruel Treatment to which Death Were
Far Preferabie-Deprived Of Proper
Food and Clothing and Subj cted to
Lifelong Degradation.
In the northwest provinces OF India widows
suffer treatment far worse than that to which
their sisters in Bengal are subjected. The
heartless customs are strictly enforced among
all the castes, but as you ascend TO the mere
well-to-do and richer classes they assume
more relentless and virulent form. A widow
among the respectable classes In this land or
rigid Hinduism Is considered and treated as
something worse than the meanest criminal
in the world. Directly after the death Of her
husband she is Stunned by her relations and
friends and, as if her breath or touch would
spread among them the contagiOn Of her
crime-the natural death Of her husband
they do not even approach near her. but send
the BARRIERS wives, who play an important
part in all Hindu ceremonies, to divest her Of
all her ornaments and fineries. These mer
cenary persons often proceed to their task In
a most heartrending manner; but that is the
command of their mistreSses, and they must
obey it. No sooner has the husband breathed
his last than these hirelings rush at their vic
tim and snatch off her ear rings and nose
rings.
At the funeral the relatives Of the deceased,
male and female, accompany the corpse, and
all, rich or poor, must go on foot. The men
| lead the procession, the women, with thick
wells drawn over their faces, following, and
| last comes the widow, preceded by the bar
| bers' wives, who take great care to keep her
! at a respectable distance from the main body
Of the mourners, shouting out as they go
along TO warn the other people Of the ap-
proach Of the detested widow. Thus she is
| dragged along, wild with grief, aghast at the
| indignities heaped upon her, her eyes full of
bitter tears. mortally afraid to utter a single
| syllable. lest she should receive a more heart
less treatment from the very people who, hut
a few days ago, held her so dearly. Soon
after the party reaches the river or tank,
near which the cremation takes place, the
widow is pushed into the water, and there she
has to remain in her wet clothes, away from
all the other people, until the dead body has
been burned to ashes-a process occupying IN
India several hOurs-and the whole company
have performed their necessary ablutions.
And when all Of them have started for home
the widow is led along by the BARRIERS wives,
her clothes soaking wet and she mutely bear
ing the rudeness of her barbarous guides.
The custom is rigidly observed in all seasons
and all circumstances. 1t matters not
whether she has been laid mp with fever or
suffering from consumption, whether she Is
scorched by the burning rays OF the midday
sun Of Indian summer or frozen by the
piercing winds blowing from the Himalayss
in winter, the widow must he dragged with
