EDMUND.

/ Mrs. James Adams, who resided one
mile north of Edmund, died Friday of
last week and was buried Sunday
afternoon. She was over eighty years
old and had been ailing for number
| of years. Mrs. Adams came here with
| her husband more than fifty years ago.
| During all this time she has been a
consistent christian and a member of
! the NJ. +. church. She leaves an aged
husband and several grown up sons
and daughters to mourn her loss.
The machinery used in the Edmund
creamery will be shipped to Ipswich
d. +. some time during the week.
James &. Williams, who ran the
creamtrJ at this place for a number
of years, is building creamery at
! Ipswich, which accounts for the ship
ment of the machinery referred to to
! Dakota.
Very little corn has been planted as
/ yet; but the farmers feel anxiOusto get
to work preparing the ground for corn.
Grass grows very slowly and much
stock is suffering for want of feed.
\ large number of Linden people
were in attendance upon the funeral
of Mrs. Adams Sunday, Rev. Swartz
preached the funeral sermon and the
/ Linden choir did the singing.
1t seems probably that a large pro-
ton of our laborerS will vote the
democratic ticket next fall They be-
gin to recognize the fact that no
protective system is complete which
affords protection to the manufacturer
and not to the laborer himself. Neither
high tariff nor free trade can relieve
man, if American wOrkingmen are
not protected against the importation
of cheap foreign labor. 1t does not
require any very large amount of precep-
ton to understand, that "when two
employers run after one labOrer, the
price of labor will go up, but when
two laborerS run after one en-
pIoyer, the price of labor will go down"
The Workingmen OF the Pacific coast
found it necessary to protect them
selves against cheap Chinese labor and
the workingmen of the Atlantic are
now beginning to discover the necessity
of protecting themselves against the
importation OF cheap labor from
Europe.
We notice number of young
gentlemen are in the habit of going
out fishing Sunday, but the fish do not
seem to suffer much.
Rev. c. c. SWartZ, of Linden, favored
us with an unusually eloquent sermon
Sunday morning. He showed that the
christians were ever subjected to per
Secution and that they, even now,
suffered from the vile attacks of ignO-
rant enemies. His own experience
proved this: but he was happy to state
that God had never forsaken him when
in trouble. Mr.. Swartz is young,
learned and logical divine, whose
purity of life, nobleness of character
and incorporating love of truth, has
made him power in the church. We
are sorry he cannot remain with us
another year. still, we recognize the
fact that a man of his unquestioned
ability and learning must necessarily
find a broader field of action.

The Vermont Democrats are certainly
embarrassing body of men. For more
than forty years we have been hearing of
their remarkable faith and staying
qualities. The Biddeford journal aptly
styles them the Spartan band. Indeed,
there are more than three hundred of
them. and what they lack in numbers
they make up in zeal. Last week they
held a State Convention, endorsed the
Presidents policy aud nominated candi-
dates for State officers and Presidential
electors-not for election, necessarily, but
as an evidence of the underlying loyalty
of Mr.. Smalley and Hiram Atkins.

Republican Prospects in Kentucky

The kentucky Republicans are showing
an energetic and enterpriSing spirit worthy
of commentator. Their State Convention
held last week for the appointment of
delegates at large was large and en-
thusiastic body, which extortcd warm
praise for it, appearance and decorum
from political enemies even. Another evil
dencc of the vitality of the party in that
state has just been given by the establish
mcut of Republican daily newspaper in
Lexington. This will be an effective
agency in disseminating the principles Of
genuine Repubicanism and in consolidat-
ing the party on the lines of pending is
sues. Lexington is the old home of Henry
clay, the great teacher of Protection and
the friend of Home Markets. Though he
died more than a third of a century since,
the seeds of his instruction have not lost
their terminating power, and thorough
AmeriVanism is reyving among the
kcntuckians. The day of undisputed
Bourbon supremacy in that State has
passed, aud the Free Traders of the Brock
enridge, Carlisle, and Watterson type will
have to fight for every square foot of
ground they hold. The gubernatorial
election of 1887 developed such marked
increase in the Republican vote that the
Democrats will hereafter he compelled to
tight for the state at every election. And
now that Cleveland and the other chiefs
of the party have thrown off the mask,
the Republicans can push their efforts
with an advantage they never had before.

The London Economist warns it, read
ers that the prosperity of English business
depends very greatly upon the election of
a Free-trade president and the enactment
of a Free-trade law by the United States
and the Economist il correct. The De
mocracy will do its level best to see that
the requirements of English trade are
complied with. The American Tories of
1875 were in more complete accord with
the Tories of England of that date than
the Cleveland Free Trade Democrats of
to-day are in accord with the British Free
Traders. The Golden Club with docu-
ments and gold are trying to con-
quer America today precisely as British
generals and British armies tried to do it
more than century ago. Only the
weapons are changed.

play little girl came out of the house and
gave him two cents, just as some students
urged him to 90 with them; but he said he
would after he had played a while for the
girl. The students told the man that if he
would go with them they would pay him
we'll. The organ grinder, not wishing to lose
good job, asked the lady to excuse him,
and went to the college; but little later he
returned to his former customer and played
all his tunes to the delight of the little girl.
