Friday was a hard day for railroading.
The orning mail from the north did not
get in till after two o'clock in the after
noon. The trouble was between Shell
burne and Burlington, where a freight
got stalled Thursday night and three or
four trains were blocked there or held at
stations on either side till noon of Fri
day.
The selectmen on Saturday laid out
winter road starting into the railroad
land at the north end of the passenger
station platform, and, passing across that
land, reaching the ice and going along on
the east side of that up the creek as far
as the south line of Smith & Aliens
farm. They also laid out a short piece
of road in the north end of the village.
These officers were elected at the
annual meeting of Fairmont Engine Co.
Tuesday evening: Foreman, Allan Cal
houn; first assistant, G.. w. Pinney;
second assistant, George McCue; clerk
and treasurer, Justus Cobb; auditor, F.
L. Rogers. Peter Champagne has been
appointed engineer of the steamer, with
John Wilson, assistant, and Mark Bis
settle, fireman.

church was held Tuesday evening, De-
cember %. The following officers were
chosen: Clerk and treasurer, Dea. j. b.

small deficiency, which was all made up
within few days, so that the church
closes another year free from debt.
The annual meeting of the Congrega-
tional society was held at the lecture
room of the church on Monday afternoon

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE FISK JUBILEE SINGERS,

Who are announced to appear at the town
hall here on Wednesday evening the 18th
inst, were at Detroit, Mich, recently,
when the Tribune said of them: The
programme was well-arranged one of
secular and religious song, principally
those which are known as the "slave
songs or "spirituals" of the former ne
gro slaves of the Southern States. The
melodies are dulcet, full of pathos and
passion, warm, persuasive and powerful,
and in the low range are particularly
sweet. The voices were in beautiful har-
mony, with excellent information and
phrasing. The solos were rendered with
feeling and exquisite perception. Mrs.
DeIIart sang as an encore Way Down
upon the Swanee River" with rare arts
tic sentiment. The chorus was vocally
strong for its numerical strength and the
pianist rendered excellent service. The
audience was a most enthusiastic one
showing their pleasure in the most hearty
manner.

Our Navy.

WASHINGTON. No. 16.-The annual
report Of chief constructor Wilson of
the navy shows that the sum of 1885,
349 was expended in the repair of
ships, purchase of tools, etc. Pay
ments made on account of vessels
building under contract up to Oc-
tober 81 aggregate 1926, ,195.
The present strength of the navy
and condition of the vessels ia stated
as follows: Five double-turreted
monitors, awaiting completion; two
belted cruisers, preparing in the ways;
thirteen single-turreted monitors in
ordinary; twenty-three unarmored
steel and iron vessels, four of which
are IN commission, eleven building,
two repairing, five on stations and
one in ordinary; twenty-eight wooden
steam vessels, nearly all or station or
undergoing repairs; and eleven iron
and wood steam tug boats.
Estimates for the next fiscal year
aggregate S936,452. The whole ap-
preparations for the current fiscal
year were S668,952. In addition to
these estimates S3,540,0O0 will be re-
quired to meet payments on account
of hulls and outfits of new ships, but
this sum has already been appropri-
ated.
The bureau recommends the i'm
mediate construction of experimental
works. to cost 100000, for use in the
determination of the resistance and
other qualities of ships by means OF
models, holding that such works will
be OF permanent value in designing
high speed vessels and analyzing the
results Of ship trials.
Tools are now being delivered to
the New York and Norfolk yards, and
the chief constructor says we will
soon be in possession of two harbors
well equipped for building iron and
steel vessels of war, of every size and
type.
or the Mare Island, California
yard he says that, being the only one
on the Pacific coast, it is now being
fitted with a complete outfit of mod.
ern building tools. The climate
is such that it is perfectly practicable
to conduct ship-building without the
shelter of ship houses, which are ex-
pensive both in first cost and in re.
pairs,

The s. F. Examiner, the leading
Democratic newspaper of the Pacific
coast, in an editorial headed Let
them come in" says: "One of the
duties that congress cannot put off
much longer is the admission Of most
of the remaining territories as states.
The matter has been treated from q
political point of view too long. 1t is
q simple question of justice, and no
other consideration should have any
weight. It is time to consider whether
we may not at once get rid of almost
our whole territorial system. Wash
ington, Dakota, Montana, New Mex.
leo, Arizona, Wyoming and Idaho
have at least 100000 inhabitants each,
and they have resources which make
it certain that they will never be rot
ten boroughs."

The annual report of the chief con-
structor of the navy, Wilson, is one,
the sentiments of which, every patri-
otic American citizen will endorse.
He reports the old sloop-of-war Hart
ford can be repaired for S175,OOO, SO
she would be valuable for service as a
cruiser for several years. He adds
that her past record as Admiral Far
ragut's flagship not only endears her
to the American people, but when che
has outlived her usefulness as cruis-
er she should be preserved as receiv-
ing ship, as a monument of her past
achievements.

enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting

PUBLIC OPINION.

HoN. Tom REED of Maine, in his
lecture, "What hath men wrought?"
says: "In the very nature of our ex-
istence the living, struggling men.
with rare exceptions, get but little
credit for their efforts. Only after
death has stilled their hands and
heads can we afford to give them very
much eulogy, no matter what they
deserve. After they are gone, one by.
one we may occasionally let the
harsh features melt into beauty in the
blue haze of distance. Few of the
great hearts that have held the world
have, even after death, received aught
but the blame,o at least, the indiffer-
ence of the people. Still, in all the
history of the world, there has never
been time when every man did not
really count for all he was worth, no
matter what was said of him; for no
man can live in the world without
leaving mark just his size upon it.
"There always was and always will
be one ruler of humanity-popular
opinion. Our laws do not rule us;
they are simply the expression Of gen.
orally recognized public sentiment
Even the most sacred of our relations
in life and our conduct in death are
shaped by it. In the most insignif-
can't minuti@ of our lives may be
traced its influence. We no longer
wear swords, but no man is brave
enough to do away with the buttons
on the tail of his coat. The world
will never cease to wonder at the
temerity of that brayest Of men, Ham
ilton, who carried the first umbrella
in the streets of London.
"We do not generally recognize the
influence of public opinion simply be-
cause few men are ever in all theil
lives bold enough to run against 1t
Let us see what it is, and we shall
learn that it actually deserves all this
respect. 1t is nothing more or less
than the average intelligence Of the
people, and woe unto him who dares
let it be known that he has risen not
ably above it. He must suffer for any
satisfaction he may get out of his wis
dom. Copernicus was more prudent
if not wiser, than Galileo, and only
revealed his wisdom on his deathbed
Wisdom to be of any use must bt
within easy reach. The rising SUI
may beautifully gild the hill tops, but
not till its force is poured into the
valleys is it of use to the people
Mankind moves slowly; it is because
it must move en- masse. Even in.
yentors must wait for the people. Oh
what use could the discovery of the
locomotive have been before there
were enough rich men to build the
railroads and patronize them?
"a few years ago many Of the wisest
economists said that labor was help.
less, but capitalists have learned bet
ter. On the other hand, laborers are
learning that their interests and those
of capital are often identical. The
nearer the two classes know together
the nearer they will think together.
"Men alone have the power of un-
ion OF thought and action largely de-
veloped. 1t is this that must work
out the problems of the day and Of
tomorrow. But the evolvement from
the absolute selfshness of our away.
back ancestors must go on gradually
since all must move together.
mo man can lead us into the lani
of promise, where men shall live, moi
for themselves alone, but for ihe i'm
mortal race"
