lie properly recognize it, and instead of
frowning upon these people, and look
ing upon them as criminals, or at least
as beings void of common feeling and
sympathy, and to be punished at some
body's caprice, treat them charitably
and with good sensef We are salts
fed the public need education upon
this subject. Then when an overseer
is elected in any of our towns, he shall
be one not only of broad sympathy, but
one of such intelligence as will be COM
patible with the Importance of the Of
fee. No persons should be engaged to
have immediate charge of the poor
who do not possess good character, or
who indulge in intemperance of word
or deed. More pains, we think, should
be taken in this respect, and then lib
orally pay for the services. There Is
no earthly reason why poor houses
should not be as decent and respecta-
BILE, as clean and comfortable as the
best in the town. We believe if towns
would but think this matter over seri-
ously, they would come to the unani-
nous conclusion that the poor house
should not only be managed well, but
the best of any in the state. Certainly
this would be great honor to all and
none would be the poorer for it.

THE CARE OF THE POOR.
How 1t Strikes a Citizen of St. John
bury.

How 1t Strikes Citizen of St. Johns
bury.
Editor CdledOnjdR AS you and the
public know, there has been more or
less controversy regarding the manage
ment at our poor house. While we
have no inclination to unduly criticise
affairs there or elsewhere, we would
like to call the attention of your read
ers to one fact of which the general
public seem TO be ObliviOus. We know
that such institutions are not the east
est to manage, yet there seems to be a
feeling abroad that the poor house is a
penal institution where the unfortu-
nate must be punished. We don't say
that any are Intentionally malicious in
this thought, but do say they are
thoughtless upon a very important
subject. The poor house is provided
for the class of unfortunates that must
ever be with us. 1t does not signify to
say what might have been, had these
persons done or not done thus and so.
The fact that with them real trouble
exists is enough to know. We ven
ture the remark, that none would be
seeking charity in this way who were
well balanced and right. IL, then,
trouble exists, why should not the pub

III. c. Ide, Capt. P. D. Blodgett and HI.
C. Bates of St. Johnsbury were the
speakers. j. T. Gleason presided and
the Lyndon band furnished music.
Several Harrison veterans of 1910 oc-
cupied the platform. The speakers ev-
identity disliked the democratic party,
but oh how they hated the prohibit
tionists Mr.. Bates likened the "prO-
hibs" to deserters who went from
Grants to Lees army, and appealed to
the Captains on the platform to say if
they did not hate the deserter much
more than they did the original rebel.
The meeting was quite enthusiastic
and the speakers were repeatedly
cheered. AS Mr.. Ide was a member of
the Chicago convention we expected to
hear him refute the charges of drunk
enness and debauchery so freely made
relative to that convention. Perhaps
he considered the charges not worth
refuting.

DEATH OF SHERIDAN
At Nonauitt sunday Evening.

General Sheridan died at 1920 Sun
day evening. Until $50 there had
been no premonitions during the day
of any unfavorable change in his con-
dition. The weather had been warm
er than usual and the general was at
the time little restless, but seemed
generally bright and cheerful. His
voice was strong, he took full supply
of nourishment, slept occasionally, as
usual, and the doctors and his family
were hopeful. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Sher-
idan and the doctors went to the hotel
for supper and soon after their return
the usual preparations for the night
were made. At about 900 Colonel
Sheridan said "good night" to his
brother and went to the hotel.
At $50, symptoms of heart failure
suddenly appeared, and Drs. O'Reilly
and Mathews, who were with him at
the time, Immediately applied the rem
edies which had proved successful in
all similar previous attacks, but this
time they were without effect, and de-
spite all that could be done the gener-
al gradually sank into a condition of
complete unconsciOusness and at 1920
breathed his last.
Mrs. Sheridan, the sisters Urbane
and Justinian, and the faithful body
servant Klein were also at his bedside
throughout his dying hour.
