The Boys in Blue.

The sneers and jeers of the republi.
can press at the democratic soldiers
who wore the blue have SO aroused the
brave men who fought for the union
that they have resolved to organize
for the purpose of showing the sland-
erers where they stand in the present
battle for reduced taxation and good
government.
The assembling of one hundred and
seven Union veterans at the rooms OF
the Central Democratic club in this
city last night to organize an associa-
tion in the interest of the election of
Cleveland and Thurman was a notable
event. - At the very outset this demo
cratic soldiers organization outn I'm.
bers that of the republicans by thirty.
three per cent. BY the time the or.
ganization is completed it will more
than double the membership of the
republican soldiers club.
The Democratic boys in blue are ir
good earnest and their enthusiasm will
communicate itself to their brother vet
erans throughout the State. So mote
it be.-PdtriOt.

A Perpetual Railroad Pass.

Perpetual railroad pass is a pretty
rare thing to have, but a man living in
Attlesborough, on the line of the Bos-
ton and Providence railroad, possesses
one of these passes. In 1886, when
the Boston and Providence Road
was being built, Mr.. John G. Doge
conveyed to it portion of his land, in
consideration that he and his family
should ride free o, er the railroad as
long as the land was used for railroad
purposes. A grandson of Mr.. Doge
lately claimed that he was entitled 70
the privilege named in the deed and
that the word family meant "descen-
dants" of the grantor. The railroad
company opposed the demand, but the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, dc.
cided that the railroad must carry free
the descendants of Mr.. Doge for all
time.-Er.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Cor respondent.I
WASHINGTON, July 23.


WASHINGTON, July 23, 1888.
Representative Mills was a proud
man Saturday as he stood up in the
House to make short speech, Just be-
fore the final vote was taken on his tariff
hill. The galleries were crowded as
they had not been since the day that
he made tie opening speech in what is
likely to go down to posterity in the
great tariff debate of 1888. Mr.. Mills
began by stating the present surplus
IN the treasury to be $129,OOO, 900.
which represents unnecessary taxation
upon the people. This enormous
amount of money is constantly lower
ing prices, and piling an enormous
load 90 labor, and increasing the ben
efits of the privileged classes. How
long will il be before stagnation will
occur, and bankruptcy and ruin flock
together over the land? The majority
have attempted to bring before the
House bill to reduce this taxation
and lessen the flow of money into the
treasury. by amendments made in
committee OF the whole, the relative
rate OF duty has been placed at S42.99
on the hundred. This moderate bill
has been met by storm of denunci a.
tion, and characterized as free trade
measure. Is $42.99 on the hundred,
free tradef Mr.. Mills then took up
the bill in detail, and rapidly passed
through it, pointing out his advantages
as he went along. A vote being Ia.
ken on the final passage of the bill

William Krickbaum seems to be dull
of comprehension. We will endeavor
to enlighten him. In our issue of
July 6, referring to his story that Geo.
E. Elwell had sought to secure the ap.
pointmeut as Judge we said: eve
denounce the allegation as malicious
lie. There is not the slight
est foundation in fact for the story, as
no such arrangement was ever contem-
plated, suggested or even thought of
by anybody" and we proved it by
Gov. Pattison's letter.
In his last weeks paper Krickbaum
says, "Is it not fact that there were
schemes on foot to have George ap-
pointed in case his father should pe-
signi He does not and cannot deny
this"
Here is another one of his charac-
teristic misrepresentation; for what
he says sis not and can not be denied, "
is exactly what we did deny, and prove
most oonclusively to be false two
weeks before. His insinuation casting
doubt upon the genuineness of Gov.
Pattison's letter is too small to merit
notice. We would, however, suggest
that it will cost but two cents to send
copy of the letter as printed TO Gov.
Pattison with an inquiry as to whether
he wrote it. The original letter can
be seen by any body at this office.
But William forgets that we threw
down the gauntlet with distinct chal-
lenge. We charged him with mali.
cious falsehood, and challenged him to
name his informant or produce his
proofs. He utterly fails in both these
particulars; he does not even seek TO
screen himself behind his first weak
assertion that gentleman informed
him." BY his failure to accept our
challenge, he admits the falsity of his
allegations. His only attempt TO
wriggle out, consists in repetition of
the same old exploded lie. He says
Sunless there are hosts of uncalled for
liars, Georges course in connection
with the judgeship has been anything
but creditable to himself, to say moth
ing of the disoredit it reflects upon his
l6bucT.
There has been but one "uncalled
for liar" and be is the one who has
manufactured, and put in circulation
the numerous falsehoods in regard to
this matter. lie is the one whom we
have conclusively convicted of 1t, and
his name is Krickbaum. Again we
challenge him to produce any proofs of
any "discreditable action" concerning
the judgeship; again we say that his
insinuation that there ever were
schemes on foot, of any character or
description, by Geo. E. Elwell, or any
one for him, to secure the appointment
OF Judge, under any circumstances
whatever, is lie out of the whole
cloth, of which he is the author.
Discreditable action! What can be
more discredit able than the conduct of
this man, whose malice leads him to
utter untruths, but whose honor does
not lead him to admit that he is wrong
even after his fabrications have been
annihilated by the most indisputable
evidence! But we cannot hope to re-
form him in this respect. Misrepresen.
tation is his stock in trade, and to de-
priye him of that would be to drive
him out of business.

Mr.. George William Curtis Views-Defeot
ion of En-. Mayor Seth Low.

Upon the issue of extreme. protect
ion Mr.. Harrison Is in harmony with
the platform, says the editor of Har-
per's Weekly. Upon the question of
reform in the civil service we gather
from speech made by him in the
Senate after the Inauguration of Mr..
Cleveland, in which he described the
Presidents course in Indiana, that he
condemned him not for removing his
political opponents but for pretending
that such removals were made in the
interest of reform. We are not aware
of anything that General Harrison has
said or done which shows that his ad-
ministration would be governed in this
respect by sound principles of reform.
As the representative of the platform
no friend of reduction OF the surplus
by mOderating the tariff tax upon the
neeessaries of life and raw materials
could support General Harrison. unless
he feared some great perils from the
success of Mr.. Cleveland. This is an
apprehension, however, which, al
although strong and natural in 1884,
has now disappeared. Mr.. Cleveland
made his own platform, in his Mes
sage, and there has been nothing in his
administration which has alarmed the
business interests of the country.
General Harris N appears in the can
vsss as the representative of high and
higher protection, and of free whisky
and obacco,,rather than of a lighter duty
upon any class of articles produced in
this country. In other words, he is
for an average tariff tax of AZ per
cent. instead of 40 per cent, and OF a
profuse and consequently demoralizing
expenditure of a surplus instead OF
leaving it in the pockets of the tax.
payers. His nomination promises a
clean canvass. The offensive elements
Of personality which were prominent
in the campaign of 1884 are happily
eliminated, and we may fairly antici
pate the discussion of principles and
policies rather than an exchange of vi
tuperation and scandals. This is q
great gain for good politics, and in
this respect the campaign of 1888
opens auspiciously.

"0ld Saddle-Bags" on Indiana's Vote.

81 have no doubt that Cleveland
will carry Indiana" said ex-senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald to a New York
San representa- i've on Thursday. "l've
just been figuring on it, and here's the
way it looks to me There are about
100000 voters in Indiana. Two hun
dred and forty thousand of them are
Democrats, 235,O00 Republicans and
$4,000 floating, made up of Greenback-
ers, Prohibitionists and Labor men.
To carry the State Harrison must get
5000 more of these floating votes than
we do, and he can't do it. The Green
hackers are opposed to him. There
are 10000 of them in the State, anu
Harrison will not get over 1000 votes
out of them all. The laboring men
are cold toward him, and the Prohi-
bitionists, of course, are down on the
Republican party"

Mrs. Hutcbins could not understand
it. Their married life had been happy
until this time and had been blessed
by fine boy. She got supper, dried
her tears, knocked on her husbands
door and told him supper was ready.
He ate his meal without a word and
In sullen silence smoked his pipe until
bed time. She made one or two at
tempts to say something without avail.
He retired to their bed room while she
spent the night in another room. In
the morning it was the same way.
He ate his breakfast and went to work
mute as post. This life went on for
days, and weeks and years, lie never
saying word to her. Sometimes he
wrote his request on a piece of paper

came stern il she ventured to address
him directly. He made her an allow
ance of 1925 month for the household
expenses and her own clothes.
HutchiDs was a provident, thrifty
man and accumulated money, bought
houses and lots and made loans. He
was Sc years old when he died, and
during recent years he had not worked.
His wife through heir boy, asked for
more money than S25 month.
Hutchins grew violent and threw $40
at her. She never asked him for mon
ey again. Mrs. Hutchips, the neigh
bors say, used to cry great deal, and
two or three times her husband was
seen to weep violently when he
thought he was not observed, but of
late years both have gone on in mat
ter-of-fact way. Their son married
and went West three or four years
ago.
Their solitary life went on as berore
until week ago, when Hutchins was
taken i'll. DIR. Parsons said he had
typhoid fever. Mrs. Hutchins cared
for him, gave him medicine and per-
formed all the offices of the sick cham
Der He never spoke to her, and ao-
oepted her attentions in the same 81
lence that he had observed for twelve
years. Mrs. Hutchins has no idea of
what property was left or what money
was loaned. The only business she
did was once in while to collect rents
for her husband and give receipts
signed by him.
