The Coming Trouble.

A correspondent Of the Springfield Re
publican raises warning note, as so many
others have done, because Of the Wholesale
cutting off OF the forest from the Western
Massach usetts bills. He says that this ell
limitation has been carried on to such an
extent that black ash is exceedingly scarce
and only in few cases can fair sized
walnut grove be found. The average far
mer has need for money now aud then,
and he will AS the easiest way to acquire it,
go into bis lot and cut stuff that will sell
the most readily, culling his land for the
very best. Not many months since nearly
ell the salable white beech timber in sew
eral western Franklin county towns was
culled out simply because OF a ready mar
ket. Naturally, the owners of sugar Or
chards cling to them. although whole
groves of rock naples have been cut, for
they make the best stove wood for winter
use and it commands the highest price.
The Turner's Falls pulp mill provides a
market for poplar wood, which has been
culled from far and near and white birch

ure Of pulp. The east bill lot on the Vim

FATHER CLEARY'S TEMPER
ANCE ADDRESS.

Father Cleary delivered a powerful
temperance address last Sunday even
ing in st. James church, which was
crowded to its utmost capacity. 1t
was not an effort of high sounding
defamation, but of argument, fortified
by incontrovertible statistics and facts
Father Cleary has national reputa-.
ton as a temperance advocate and
orator. Attention is invited to only
one subject OF the address:
The popular notion prevails that
beer is healthy beverage was shown
to be delusion. The Northwestern
Life Insurance Company, one of the
Oldest and most substantial companies
in the Northwest, refuses to issue life
insurance to brewers, saloon keepers
who sell beer, and all others who are
connected with the beer traffic. The
company take this stand in defence of
| its business interests. Observation
and medical science have demonstrated
that the lives Of beer drinkers are
more precarious and subject to disease
and death than most other classes of
people. These conclusions are based
on the highest medical authority in
the country. Yet in despite of these
facts there are scores of men in this
vicinity who will continue to squander
their earnings for lager beer, under
the mistaken delusion that it invig-
crates them. while it is insidiously
endangering the health of the human
system. We wish it were possible that
Father Cleary's address could be re-
peated in every city and village in the
state.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

We have endeavored from time to
time to keep the farmers of the county
advised of the approach of the Farm.
ers' Institute. 1t began it's meetings
months ago in the northerly part of the
state, and has been gradually drawing
nearer. 1t will be in this county on
the 10th and 18th of February. Some
weeks ago the prospect for holding the
Institute in this city, at which place
it had been appointed by the state CON-
mittee, was not encouraging; the prin.
cipal large hotel in the city had been
closed and other places of public &C
commodation were mostly occupied.
In view of this condition, it had been
suggested it might be necessary to
change the location of the place for
holding the Institute to some one of
the populous country towns. Last Sat-
urday evening number of public.
spirited citizens met in the office of
Hon. z. G. Simmons and took the mat
ter in hand of providing for the hold
ing of the Institute here. AS result
Of the meeting we are authorized to
announce that the necessary accommo-
dations will be provided here, and that
our country farmers and friends who
attend the Institute will meet with a
generous reception and will be enter.
tanned during its continuance free of
charge.

rs THE USE OF BEER IN
FURIOUS?

The statement made by Rev. Father
Cleary. in his temperance lecture last
Sunday evening, as to how the use of
beer is regarded by the Northwestern
Life Insurance Company, has been
criticised by some persons as mere
caprice of the insurance men. The
Commissioner of Agriculture at Wash
ington has just issued his annual re-
port on the authorizations of malt
liquors and alcoholic beverages. Only
the most expert chemists are employed
to analyze these drinks. Thirty.three
samples of beer from various brew
cries, including Milwaukee, were sub
jected to chemical analysis. Without
giving the names of the authorizations
found, the report concludes by saying
that "beer is generally adulterated
with poisonous substances injurious to
health" We have no desire to en-
counter the displeasure of the lovers of
beer, but we have been in the practice
of accepting the highest authority in
science, so accept this of the most.
learned chemists.

cine and Kenosha counties held its
annual meeting on Thursday, Jan. S,
1883, at which large number of men,
bers were present. The report of the
secretary, Charles Jones, of Burling-

into his hands, and that $3,546 had
been paid by him to the Treasurer aud
various persons. The financial condi-
ton Of the Association is encouraging
On petition of the w. G. T. u, of Ra-

toxicating liquor and gambling from

offered resolution granting the
prayer of the women, which was
unanimously adopted. This is de-
cided improvement over last year.

SENATOR SHERMAN'S GREAT
SPEECH.

Among the many speeches in Con-
gress, there is occasionally one that
really deserves the name of great
speech" Such was the speech of
Senator Sherman, delivered on We'd
nesday, January 4. 1t should be put
into the hands of every man as a docu-
ment of facts in which every citizen
has direct interest. It is not de-
nunciary, but logical arraignment of
President Cleveland's message, which
it will be hard to c0ntrovert. He de-
monstrates the Presidents policy as
calculated to cripple the leading home
industries in this country. The Presi-
dents treatment of the labor question
Senator Sherman declares strong de-
fusion and snare. This is an arraign-
ment against the message, and the
reader is asked to give the speech of
the Senator fair hearing. 1t is an
easy thing for any one to bring charges
against Mr.. Cleveland and his message,
but to substantiate such charges by
facts and logical reasoning is quite an
other thing.

SENATOR SAWYER AND
LAMAR.

Can it be possible that Senator Saw.
yer feels the Importance of his position
magnified, for the reason that his
name is now being mentioned in al.
most every paper in the Union as ap-
parently holding the balance of power
in respect to the confirmation of Lamar
for Justice of the Supreme Court 7
The attention of the whole country is
now directed to Mr.. Sawyer, and it
must be he rather likes the notoriety
of the position in which he has placed
himself, for if it were not so he could
many weeks ago have relieved the
public suspense by declaring his in.
tention, as other Republican Senators
have done, how they will vote on the
question of Lamar's confirmation. 1t
cannot be that Mr.. Sawyer is waiting
for new light in regard to the qualii-
cations of Lamar for the official office
to which the President has nominated
him. He claims to have an intimate
acquaintance with Lamar, and speaks
of him as an agreeable gentleman.
There are thousands of ex-rebels in the
South who are socially companionable.
But as for Lamar's legal qualifications,
Mr.. Sawyer is rather reticent; his
record as lawyer is quite lean, having
spent only limited portion of his life
in the profession of law.
The New York Tribune says Sena-
tor Sawyer is reported as saying that
he sees no objection to the confirma-
ton of Mr.. Lamar, and holds him to be
a truly loyal man. He will answer to
his constituency. Among them are
Union veterans, their sons and those
who hold them in honor. to whom it
may not seem fitting to place on the
Supreme bench a man who labored
nightly to instigate the rebellion, who
broke his oath of allegiance to the
United States, seeded from Congress,
and took an active part as a. traitor"
Now it is quite possible that after
all the speculations as to how Senator
Sawyer will vote on the confirmation,
if he should at the last moment vote
against Lamar, there are some news
paper journalists who will exclaim,
F." Bravo!' and applaud the Senator for
doing what was his duty to do, and in
doing less would have brought dis
credit and outraged the wishes of his
constituents.
