duties and obligations of physicians
and of the general position of the med

in turn in well-chosen words and the
speaker was heartily applauded.

QUERIES.

l. With the present large surplus in
the treasury, will it not be the duty of
the republican party to abolish all in
ternal revenue taxes 7
2. Will not the result be to flood
the South with apple jack and cheap
whisky, which as everyone knows is
poor class of whites 2
3. Is it not true that the republican
party is, equally with the democratic,
dominated by the liquor interests
A. Now can paper as clean as the
Caledonian has ever been, support a
ticket nominated by such a convention
as that lately assembled at Chicago9
The above questions come from an
esteemed subscriber and shall have
candid answer.
1. The Caledonian does not under
take to wrestle with the problem of
how the government should raise its
revenues, yet it has definite belief
that they should be raised largely if
not wholly by tax upon luxuries and
articles that cannot be called necessi-
ties. SpirituOus liquors, tobacco, silks
and broadcloth are not necessities,-
sugar, wooden goods, etc, are. If there
is tax in any form upon the latter,
the government discriminates against
the poor man.
The Caledonian believes it the duty
of congress to reduce taxes to the re-
quirements of the government ecOnOm-
icalIy administered that a large sur
plus in the treasury not only robs the
people but puts a temptation before
political demagOgues and dishonest Of
ficials to squander such surplus. "Pro-
lection" is fascinating word, but the
"protection" that robs the poor man
by taxing his food and clothing in or
der that political demagogues may
have "surplus" to squander on forti-
fications, war ships or unnecessary
public buildings, is hardly the "pro
tection,n craftsmanship or economy
that the present time demands.
g The cheapening of liquor and to-
bacco would naturally increase its con-
sumption, the use of which already is

The Burlington Strike.

The Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy
railway .epOrts that the net earnings
for the month of May showed a de-
crease of $500, 900; and for the first
five months of the current year, a de-
felt as compared with that for the COR
responding period last year of the as
tOnishing total of 81, I94,I75 The
trial of the dynamite cOnspirators now
in progress is not devoid of startling
developments. The Chicago World,
which is regarded by the brotherhood
as their official organ, denies that the
brotherhood instigated the plot or
were cognizant of it. Chairman HOge
of the grievance committee says "the
policy of the brotherhood is to build
up, and not to destroy" and Chief Ar
thur says, eff the arrested are MEM
beers of the order and their guilt is es-
tablished, the brotherhood will not
only expel them but will do all in its
power to make an example of them"

The Uncertainty of the Contest.

The issues of the present campaign
are 80 different from any ever brought
before the public that the uncertainty
of the result has been evident from
the start. Nearly every voter will cast
his ballot on the 9th of November
either for high tariff or low tariff. Both
sides are honest in their convictions
and both are striving for the greatest
good for the greatest number. In 1884
four doubtful states were carried by
the democrats by small majOrities.
These states were Connecticut, Indi-
ana, New Jersey and New York. If
Indiana is carried by the democrats
this year it will be a surprise to both
parties. The other three states are
manufacturing centres and will be the
arena of the tariff debate. They are
full of high tariff democrats as we'll as
low tariff republicans. Even Chairman
Barnum, Connecticut man, is strong
protectionist, while New York is full of
good republicans like Seth Low, Rev.
DIR. Cuyler and Rev. DR.. Storrs who
cannot follow the republican party to
their unprecedented and unfortunate
tariff position. Mayor Hewitt of New
York, though a low tariff man, has
such strained personal relations with
the president that this fact alone may
hinder the democrats from carrying
New Jersey where many of the voters
in two counties are employees in Mayor
Hewitt's iron works. Many of the
workingmen in these states have found
what Henry George told them long ago
that "the rich are growing richer and
the poor are growing poorer" and will
support the ticket whose platform
favors the reduction of excessive taxa

The microscope does not reveal any
qualities In the man, or facts In his
life, which put the party upon the
apologize. He is a man for whom
there will exist in the church a nation

Christian life is not an aforethOught
nor technic for convenient use. He
is not man of negative qualities, but
of strong and courageous convictions.
He will be right on questions of moral
reform because he has been right. He
is typical American, self-made, and
therefore in close sympathy with the
great mass of the people. On the mat
ter of temperance reform he is agrees

facts on this line are the principles
and character of the nominees more
than the declaration of the platform.

The Duty of Reformers.

Republican victory this year would
put an end to democratic hopes of car
rying the country on the tariff issue.
1t would intrust to friends of protec-
ton the work of adjusting the tariff to
the needs of the country. 1t would
settle for generation at least the poll
cy of the government in that respect,
and thus leave voters and parties free
to act with regard to other questions.

In the death of Henry McCOle Nc
Indoes loses prominent and highly
esteemed citizen. He was born in
Ryegate, Dec. &c, 1912, and has lived
in the town most of his life. At the
breaking out of war he enlisted as pri-
vate in Co. H, 4th VT, and was wound
ed in the shoulder at the battle of the
Wilderness, May 4, 1864 he was hon
orally discharged from the service as
sergeant at the close of the war in
July, 1865. After his return, in Nov.
1866, he married Gorilla Moore, who,
with two children, survives him. Mr..
McCole has always been an energetic
and enterprising citizen, has always
taken leading position in town affairs,
and was usually found on the right
side of all the leading questions of the
day. He has held many important of
fees in town, having been representa-
tive in the legislature of 1873 at the
time of his death was serving second
term as selectman. In G. A. r. affairs
he always took deep interest, hardly

commander. The post loses worthy

NEWS OF THE WEEK
Serious Fire at Hanover, N. n


There was $4,000 fire at Hanover
early Thursday morning. The fire
was first discovered in the stables of
Dartmouth hotel, formerly known as
"South Hail." supposed to be of incen-
diary origin. The guests in the house
had barely time to escape with the few
valuables within their reach. Trunks
and other property were thrown from
the windows and saved; most of the
furniture was destroyed. The fire
spread rapidly, going first to large
tenement house belonging to the col
lege and filled with number of
French families. This was complete
ly destroyed. The flames then spread
to the house of G. B. Clifford, which
was burned with about 5000 worth of
furniture. The twO-story frame house
of Il. III. Whitcomb then took fire, and
was burned to the ground. The fire
was then checked, after badly scorch-
ing the Woods and Wainwright prop
erty opposite the hotel. College loss
$1,000; insured for $4,000. Other
losses aggregate $4,000; insured for
about $4,000. A number of students
rooming in the hotel lost all their fur
niture.
