Hon. J. w. Longley Doubts that They
VIII Be Successful,

In all interview with Hon. j. W. Longley,
attorney general of Nova Scotia, he ex-
pressed his doubt that the fisheries nego-
tiations would be successful. The Cana
dian commissioners could hfrdly recede
from their position taken in advance, which
was backed by Canadian public opinion. He
intimated that Mr.. Chamberlain was more
inclined to act in the interest of England
than of Canada. He regards commercial
union between Canada and the States as the
only satisfactory settlement of pending
difficulties.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
II you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was com paratively un
known,-to- day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of an
other word used by our forefathers in
time past. 50 it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to
cover what our grandfathers called
Biliousness, and all are cause by troubles
that arise from a diseased condition OF
the Liver which in performing Its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of che
bile through the ordinary channels is
compelled to pass it off through the sys-
tenn, causing nervous troubles, Malaria,
Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffer-
ing can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower.
Its cures are marvellous.

A WELL MATCHED COUPLE

A few days ago Rock county couple
came to St. Paul. They had got well
along in years, and being without chill
dren, had decided to come to the city
and apply at one of the orphan asylums
for child to adopt. While on the
train coming to st. Paul, they had some
discussion on the subject, in which q
decided dissimilarity of views was de-
veloped. The wife wanted to adopt a
girl baby, while the husband insisted
that the foster child should be a boy
baby. She would not bulge an inch
from the position she had assumed on
the question, and he was equally tena-
cious to his purpose Of adopting boy
and so they argued the question all the
way to st. Paul to the intense edifica-
tiOn of all the passensers seated in their
vicinity, and they landed in st. Paul
with the problem unsolved. They went
toIthe Merchants Hotel and there kept
up the argument. The deadlock had
not been broken when the time came
for their train to leave, and as each
knew the other well enough to realize
that there would be no giving in on
either side. q truce was declared and the
couple, after all their trouble and ex.
pense, returned home childless, as they
came, e,-TSt Paul Pioneer Press.

years, ending in 1877.
"Ah!n remarked the Englishman, still

the Encampment-How the CompanieI
VIII Get There.
A Montpelier despatch of the 9lsl
says: As the time approaches for the
annual state militia muster, the interest
increases; and the following is the frs;
positive and definite information con-
cerning various militia matters yet given
out and in advance Of the official an
nOuncements.
For the past few years many changes
nave been made, both among officers
and enlisted men. Some of the old COM
panies have disbanded, and new COM
panies have been admitted. The result
has been to change the general appear
ance of the brigade as to dress, several
styles and cOlOrs being now in vogue
The old uniforms are sadly in need of
repairs; and in some cases entirely new
pants will have to be substituted. There
IS n general desire among the officers
that the United States army uniform be
adopted, as has been done in several
other states: The Bennington company
Is about to have new uniforms, which
will be of the United States regulation
pattern, but of better quality of cloth.
The dress coat will be of dark blue with
very little white braid trimming on col
lar and sleeves. The fatigue coats will
be OF the same material, and the pants
will be of light blue. 1t is expected that
the uniforms will cost about Sl9 per
man. As some company will require
new uniforms each year for some time,
the whole brigade will thus, in few
years, be uniformed alike and accord
ing to the latest style adopted by volun-
teer militia of other states.
The annual muster will be held
about the middle ofAugust at Newport.
on the shores Of Lake Memphremagog,
This has been the choice of all the com
panies, and has been recommended by
Col. Greenleaf since his return from an
inspection of the locality. The Ben
nington and Rutland companies will 60
by the way of Cambridge junction and
St.Johnsbury, which is farther than by
way of st. Adams and Richford; but
crossing the line into Canada is thus
avoided. The Richford company desire
to march to camp, which it will be per-
mitted to do. Fuller's Battery and the
Brattleboro company will go by the way
of Bellows Falls and White River juno
ton, and then over the Passumpsic rail
road. The Mortified and Montpelier
companies will go by the way of Wells
River, and the st. Albans company will
Join. the Bennington and Rutland COM
panies at Essex Junction. The Brattle-
boro band which has furnished such ex-
cellent music for the past few years,
will not be heard this year; but the Me-
chanics' band Of West Randolph will 90
instead, This is very good band for
so small a town, though inexperienced
in military duty. Drum major Don
Newton Of st. Albans has sent in his
resignation which has been accepted by
Col. Greenleaf; but his successor has
not yet been appointed.

) patriotic treatment of the fisherie
question and its, ,pusilanimOus surrende
, Of the essential privileges to which ou
J fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian
, ports under the treaty of 1918, the recip
rOcal maritime legislation of 1880 an(
the comfy of nations, and which Cana
dian fishing vessels receive in the port!
of the United States. We condemn the
policy of the present administration
and the Democratic majority in Con.
gress toward our fisheries as unfriendly
and cOnspicuOusly unpatriotic, and as
tending TO destroy a valuable national
Industry and an indispensable resource
of defence against foreign enemy.
The name of American applies alike to
all citizens of the Republic and imposes
on all alike the same obligation of obedi
ence to the laws. At the same time
that citizenship is and must be the pan
oply and safeguard of him who wears
it and protects him whether high or
low, rich or poor, in all his civil rights,
1t should and must afford him protec-
tion at home and follow and protect
him abroad in whatever land he may be
on lawful errand.
The men who abandoned the Republi.
can party in 1884 and continue to adhere
to the Democratic party have deserted
the cause of reform IN the civil service.
We will not fail TO keep our pledges be-
cause they have broken theirs or be-
cause their candidate has broken his.
We therefore repeat our declaration of
1884, to wit: "The reform of the civil
service, auspIciously begun under the
Republican administration, should be
completed by the further extension of
the reform system already established
by law to all grades of the service to
which it applicable. The spirit and pur-
pose of the reform should be observed
in all executive appointments. and all
laws at variance with the object of ex-
isting reform legislation should be re-
pealed to the end that the dangers to
free institutions which lurk in the pow-
er of official patronage may lie wisely
and effectively avoided"
The gratitude CT the nation to the de-
tenders of the Union cannot be meas
ured by laws. The legislation of Con
gress should conform to the pledge
made by loyal people, and be so en-
larged and extended as to provide
against the possibility that any man
who wore the federal uniform shall be-
come an inmate of an almshouse or de-
pendent upon private charity.
In the presence of an Overflowlng
treasury it would be public scandal to
do less for those whose val, rOus service
saved the government. We denounce
the hostile spirit shown by President
Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of
measures for pension relief and the ac-
ton of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives in refusing even a considera-
tion of general pension legislation.
In support of the principles herewith
enunciated we invite the cooperation
of patriotic men of all parties, and es
pecially of all wOrkingmen whose pros
perity is seriouslyithreatened by thefree
trade policy OF the present admisistra-
ton.
