months had run their course. "a much better
year." is the verdict for 1885. There have been
no great failures. Collections in all branches
of business have been unusually good because
the people have been buying only what they
could pay for. The holiday trade is excellent
an unerring sign Labor is more fully en-
ployed than "A year ago. The industrial trou
bles of today do not come from idle workmen
but from the efforts of the employed to in
crease their wages.
1t is possible for Congress to swell the tide
of increased prosperity very materially by
the passage of several important measures,
notably that suspending silver coinage but
the grossest neglect of that body cannot turn
the tide for no one is counting upon any aid
from this source. Ii any comes it will be so
much clear gain.
The fact is, the fever of overproduction has
been followed by II long convalesence of cur
taiment and with the return and maintain
ence of undoubtcd signs of health there Is
good reason for expecting increased growth
and prosperity. Hence do we say, "a happy
New Year"

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

AT this season of the year it is easier,
perhaps, than at any other to see what
the future has in store for the business
man and for all. The holiday trade is
just over, and that shows a good deal
how the people feel. If they are possess
sed of fair amount of funds and with
the idea that they can get another dollar
TO replace one spent, trade is likely to be
brisk. The way the people generally
look at it has quite as much to do with
depression or its reverse as has anything
else. If they feel poor, business will
languish despite political economists
theories that under the existing condi-
tion of things it ought to revive. The
Boston Commercial Bulletin, very con-
servative journal, thus senses the situa-
ton:
Athappy new year to our readersl Not in
the hackneyed sense do we give this greeting
merely because the old year has gone, but
with the heartiness and good cheer which i'm
plies belief in better things ahead. iii
were July |, instead of Jan. |, we should teel
1mpelled to speak confidently of the future at
this time. The indications are such as NAV
very properly inspire confidence. 1t would
be impossible that more prosperous days
should not follow the four years of ofdepression
and retrenchment unless unforeseen calami
ties were at hand.
-Four years of almost uninterrupted stagna
tion in business circles is a long time. Yet
that has been the experience from July 1881 to
July, 1885, as nearly as dates can measure it,
There is no doubt that the tide has ebbed and
turned in the past six to eight months From
the eminence of January /, 1886, we NAV look
back to July l, 1885, and challenge the most
decided pessimist to show that the movement
has not been upward all along the line.
The existing condition of the wool and iron
market attests the truth of this statement and
even the leather market has within the past
month yielded to the force of the current.
The cotton market still hangs back but the
manufacturers are hopeful. As for the stock
market, which owing to its elasticity moves
more quickly and freely than the purely com.
mercial markets, strong and decided ad-
vance has been developed in the past six
months, and after several fluctuating waves
there still remains Il very material advance,
with no signs of harmful reaction.
If this general Improvement had Just set in
there might be good reasons for doubling the
future. But such is not the case The course
of the markets has been tending upward for
at least six months and il has come about as
naturally as possible. Overtrading and over.
production has been followed by four wears
OF depression and curtailed production. With
the bottom again reached it is unreasonable
to believe that the improvement is not good
for II much longer period than the six months
we have already experienced.
The year 1881 was one of the most unsatis
factory in the memory ofthe business men of
this generation. Every one was glad when its

The village of Rutland presents fin

The village of Rutland presents fine
spectacle to gods and men. Its trustees
spent all the money provided, and, be-
cause the village wouldn't give them an
other pile, they discontinued the police
and street lighting. President Bottum
vetoed the resolution which they passed
to this affect, but they over-ruled his
action. The place is too big and its inter
ests too large to be entrusted to the loose
form of government it now has. If the
main village were incorporated into a
city, with a carefully-drawn charter, its
troubles would be at an end.

THAT the ''liberal' views of Col. Inger-
soil are held with a view to pecuniary
success is getting to be the opinion even
of his liberal brethren. As president of
the National Liberal league he delivered
a lecture in a western city recently at a
meeting of the league and pocketed the
proceeds, which moves the Secular Age to
remark:
If the interest which Mr.. Ingersoll feels in
the objects of the American secular union is
not strong enough to induce him to deliver
one lecture free of charge, and that at the reg
ular convention of the society of which he is
the head the sooner he steps down and out
the better for liberalism.

THE VILLAGE POLICE.

Editor Register The discussion at our
village meeting in regard to the police
matters of the village brings out the fact
that very great misunderstanding exs
listed with reference to the expenditures
in that department Add to this the
gross misrepresentation indulged in by
a certain class who would be glad to
abolish the police service, and feel called
upon to make statement for the con-
sideration of those whom it may interest.
| almost feel like criticisng the mar
row-minded and gingerly policy of some
of our good men, whose tax for the sup
port of the police would be less than fifty
cents per year, and yet who have spent
fortnight's time and worn out more
than fifty cents in sole leather shuffling
around with senseless and impotent howl
against police. / won't say anything
about them however, feel so sorry for
them. | am sorry really good men at
heart have thought best to adopt such
unsound views. The lighting of the
streets and the police expenditures were
figured together. dissect the police ex-
penditures, and trust it will be consoling
to the much-abused taxpayers who are
called upon 10 pay their proportion of
the enormous sum of Sl75.S5 for support
of the police for the year 1885.

The next business was the choice of

For third trustee there were four cam

at the time when the village had the mat
ter under consideration, and, as nothing
was said about this survey at the last an
nual meeting, he had the impression that
it was private enterprise. 1t was a
gross abuse of authority for the trustees
to go on and expend so much money
without first getting the consent of the
village; and especially was this the case
in view of the action taken.
Mr.. Slade explained, further, that this
bill was one incurred by the board that
went out of office year ago.
Mr.. Tupper went on to say that there
had been Il good deal expended on high
ways. He doubted very much whether
it was wise to lay out money in this di-
rection when the roads, so far as he was
able to perceive, were in fair condition:
and it was also question whether the
sort of earth that had been drawn was of
any use anyway. The special work done,
such as the sluice near Mr.. Cranes. was
well enough, but the general expendi-
lures were excessive. a year ago the
village was substantially out of debt !;
now the report shows that it is over
$500 in arrears.
Mr.. Slade again went over the items of
extraordinary expenses, saying that he
supposed that he made the causes of the
deficiency clear in his report Not nearly
as much had been laid out on the high
ways as on previous years, but more
went into sidewalks. These matters had
been in the hands of Mr.. FLETCHER, who
pays a large tax and is man of good
judgment. In his opinion the outlay on
streets and roads was, in the main, wise.
Mr.. Upper saw still more to critcise.
Either the oil for the street lamps had
cost a good price or the amount burned
was enormous. He wanted to know
whether it had been bought at wholesale
or not.
Mr.. Bird (who had furnished it) said
that he had sold it at as low a price as he
could afford, though not at the wholesale
rate. Messrs. Upper and Bird then dis
swer to an inquiry, said that the new
double-burner lamps consumed three
times the amount of oil that the old pat
tern did.
Messrs. C. NJ. Wilds and Trustee Bene-
dict made brief speeches on the subject
of the park.
The reports of the auditors and the
treasurer had been printed, and it was
not thought necessary to read them. The
report of the auditors shows that during
the year orders were drawn by the trus-
tees amounting to $5,043.34. OF this
sum, the expenditures on account of the
fire department were S73l; police and
street lighting, SSlS, and roads and walks,
$3.50. The orders outstanding amount
to S3,193.23. The assets of the village
are:

National Republican., 1886-12-11
Manufacturing Defaulters.
boston Journal. I


The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, of Washing.
ton gives some interesting facts, going to
show how material for future Democratic
campaign handbooks is being manufactured
by branding as "defaulters" scrupulously
honest Republican officials. The latest ad-
dition to the list Of so-called ''defaultersm
Is DR.. McGillicuddy, recently Indian agent
at Pine Ridge, Oak. Among the items
charged against him is one OF $3.50. IL
seems that In June last four Indian pupils
In an eastern government school were sent
home sick. One OF them died ON the way,
and DR.. McGillicuddy was telegraphed to
send TO the nearest railroad point "trans-
portation for three Indians and a corpse.n
He hired man and team for tb 10 service, and
sent In his voucher. This is rejected on
these grounds First, that no evidence has
been submitted to show that the charge of
$3.50 for driving sixty miles and transport
ing three Indians and corpse was not ex-
cessive; and secondly, that the agent had
not previously obtained authorization from
the department for the expense.
Another item charged against him is $500.
The agent was instructed to build a school
house at u cost not to exceed $500. The
contract was let after due advertisement,
and the house was built, complete In all
respects, for $500. The account has been
rejected on the ground that there was not
appended sworn account and receipt from
every man who worked on the Job or fur
nished material for the building. With
these men the agent had no connection,
their relations being entirely with the con-
tractor. Yet the entire cost of the school
house is charged against the agent. These
are fair samples Of the charges on tho
strength of which DIR. McGillicuddy will be
pilloIted in future campaign textbooks as
defaulter. 1t is hard to say whether the
ignorance or the malevolence of this kind
Of thing is the more apparent.
