Rum Tactics.

The jury that brought in a verdict of
not guilty in the case of the murder of
Mr.. HaddOck at Sioux City, drank in
the society of the accused man shortly
after, and the lawyers engaged in his
defence were presented with gold head
ed canes by "the business men" of that
city. Because of the way in which JUS
tiee was not meted out to the murderer
Joseph Cook says that he would rather
live among the Sioux than in Sioux
City. But it is getting to be about as
risky right here in New England to de-
clare for temperance as any where else
in this country.
Rev. o. H. Still and King Allen have
been leading fight against the rum
power of East Greenwich, Rhode Is
land. They have met with the success
that always rewards persistent fighting
of the rum power. In consequence
they have been threatened with per
sonal violence and informed that their
homes would be burned over their
heads if they persisted in the work.
After particularly successful liquor
raid the other night Mr.. Allen went to
his we'll to draw a pail of water and
found enough arsenic in and about the
well to kill the entire neighborhOod.
At about the same time Rev. Mr.. Still,
who lives in another part of the vii
lage, was awakened by the explosion
of a dynamite cartridge under his front
door step that shattered the front of
his house and would have killed him
self and family were it not that the
perpetrators of the deed were ignorant
of the proper way to handle dynamite.
Ali this, not in the South or West, but
in Christian, law abiding, prohibition
loving New England. Comment is un-
necessary.

The Good Old Times.

The return of the anniversary of
WashingtOn's birthday brings out the
usual quantity of literature pertaining
to the history of the father Of his coun-
try. In hitherto unpublished letter,
written by Washington to George Ma
son, ESQ.,, and dated March 81, 1879, he
INDUCES in some comments that would
lead one to suppose that the men of
those days were very much like the
men of these days.
81 view things very differently, 1
fear" says Washington, "frOm what
people in general do, who seem to
think the contest is at an end and to
make money and to get place, the only
things now remaining to do. | have
seen without dependency (even for a
moment) the hours which America has
stiled her gloomy ones, but l have be-
held no day since the commencement
of hostilities that | have thought her
liberties in such danger as at present.
Friends and foes seem now to combine
to pull down the gOOdly fabric we have
hitherto been raising at the expense of
so much time, blood and treasure-and
unless the bodies political will exert
themselves to bring things back to
first principles, correct abuses, and
punish internal foes, inevitable ruin
must follow. Indeed we seem to be
verging so fast to destruction, that |
am filled with sensations to which |
have been a stranger till within these
three months. Nothing in my judg-
ment can save us but a total refOrma-
ton in our own conduct, or some de-
former, alas, to our shame be it spOk-
en-, is less likely to happen than the
latter, as it is more consistent with the
views of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. tribes
of money makers-and stock jObbers
of all denominations, to continue the
war for their own private emolument,
without considering that their aver
ice and thirst for gain must plunge
rything Gncluding themselves) in
one common ruin" We are sorry to
learn that in the good old days of the
revolution men scrambled for Office
and money as they do now, but there
is some consolation in the thought
that good men were found who con-
demned it then as now, and that the
world is not necessarily growing worse
meanwhile.

A REPUBLICAN SYMPOSIUM.

The st. Adams Messenger and Bur-
Iington Free Press are particularly Sc
we're in their criticisms of the mug
wumps for not taking Mr.. Blaine at his
word, and for not giving him credit for
sincerity in his letter of withdrawal
Now for ourselves we agree heartily
with the Messenger, that Mr.. Blaine's
letter "takes him out of the list of pO-
litical aspirants for the presidency"
and with the Free Press that che must
be taken at his word" But we beg to
call attention to the manifest unfair
ness of singing out the mugwumps for
assault while Mr.. Blaine's warmest ad-
herents cannot agree among them
selves as to their leaders, meaning.
Indeed, it is n noticeable fact that those
who are nearest Mr.. Blaine, his own
fellow citizens i'm Maine, are those who
are most earnest in their declarations
that his letter in no way changes the
situation. General w. T. Sherman
finds no difficulty in so expressing him
self as to be clearly understood. 1t is
very significant that Mr.. Blaine's fol-
lowers would have it go that their
leader says one thing but means anoth-
er. One of two things is sure, either
Mr.. Blaine is double faced in this mat
ter, or else, more than any man whom
we recall at this moment, he needs to
pray for deliverance from his friends.
In this connection we have been both
interested and amused in reading the
diversity of comments on Mr.. Blaine's
letter, made by republicans and the re-
publican press, both in nearly every
instance friendly to Mr.. Blaine's can
didacy. We append few of them for
the benefit of the Messenger and Free
Press, who seem to have overlooked
them:

The League Convention.

The general verdict oD the meeting
of republican clubs at Montpelier last
week is, that whatever was the origi-
nal purpose of the organization, the
general result was good. The idea that
the work of the league is to be that of
a bureau of information, and that it's
purpose is emphatically not that of a
boosting bureau for aspiring pOliti-
clans, will meet with general approval
if faithfully adhered to. A report of
the meeting will be found on the sec
Ond page. The selection of Gov. Proc
tor as president of the league is an ex
cellent one.

ANOTHER CYCLONE
Wipes Out an Illinois Town,

A tremendously destructive cyclone
swept down upon the village of Mount
Vernon, H., Sunday. The town was
virtually wiped out, and more than
half a hundred of the Inhabitants are
said to have persisted in the universal
wreck. One report says that AZ bodies
have been taken from the ruins. 1t is
estimated that $50 people are injured.
The village of Mount Vernon is capital
of Jefferson county, down in the south
central region of Illinois, and is a
prosperous place of $500 people. 1t
contained court house, two banks,
four churches, two newspaper offices,
steam fiOur-mills, wooden and sawmills
and railroad machine shop, almost
all which were wrecked
At about 5 o'clock the cyclone struck
the town. Fire Immediately broke out
all over the city amid the ruins, spread
ing rapidly owing to the damage done
to the engines by the wind. The
storm passed from the southwest and
had a rotary motion. 1t swept down
with fearful fury, striking first just
south of the city hall, then carried
away the third and fourth stories of
the Mt. Vernon mill. From there it
swept on in a path 500 yards wide.
The Methodist church fell just a few
minutes before $50 people had left the
Sunday school rooms. The CONNER
cial hotel lost its third story. Next
the wind struck the county court
house and rendered it heap of ruins.
A large block on the south was level
ed with the earth and under it was
found the body of the owner. The
roof and second story of a large hard
ware store was blown away. The
large, two-stOry brick school house
did not withstand the terrible shock
any better than the smallest house in
the track of the cylone. A large, two
story frame house was picked up and
carried about % feet and left unhurt
while two brick buildings in 100 feet
were wrecked. Not less than $780,
900 worth of property has been de-
stroyed by the cyclone and fire in that
The cyclone destroyed
nearly 300 residences and places of
business and unhoused from 700 to
1900 people. Thirty five were killed
and as many more injured.

They Feel Relieved.
Brdttle6oro Pheni1, Rep.


The feeling of Vermont republicans
as expressed by those present at the
convention at Montpelier on Wednes-
day, was Enthusiastically one of relief at
Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal feeling
that the situation had been simplified
and the prospect cleared by this action
of the brilliant leader. That Mr..
Blaine had many warm supporters in
Vermont, including many who wonld
have preferred as personal matter
to cast their votes for him, is undeni-
able, but among these, even, the
feeling is that Mr.. Blaine's action
leaves the party entirely free to act
free to select its best man-the man
who is the strongest with the people,
who can best harmonic all divisions.
inspire confidence and lead his party
to victory.

A PLAIN
STATEN ENT.

We feel that we have right to vim
dictate our position regarding our
disputed right to sell the Neverslip Ice
Creepers i'm this town. We procured
them from the Jobbing Trade of the
City of Boston, and before any one
else i'm this town had them, and it is a
we'll known fact that any article that
has once gone into the JObbing Trade
cannot be sold to any one dealer ex-
Guiding all the rest, and we had no
desire to keep any of our neighbors
from selling them. After we had got
these the New England Agent. Mr..
Merriam, sold a machine for attaching
them, to Mr.. Bundy, and gave him
exclusive right to use the machine.
This we did not object to, as we being
practical shoe men, could see that the
machine costing $50 was not necessi-
ty and was only made to use on rubber
shoes or boots, and could not be used
on leather shoes or boots. We saw no
need of using machine at all. Now
we have letters both from Mr.. Merriam
and also from the Jobber, showing
that we have a right to use the Never
slip Ice Creepers, and we wish to say
that should any one want a pair in
these slippery days we will put them
on BY HAND at a very low figure.
We also sell Boots and Shoes, and
the best Rubbers manufactured.
Respectfully,
PRIOR g. BAGLEY,
