Silly and Unkind FauItfndine.
President Harrison is said to be
annoyed at the criticisms of his
zach ting t1i p from Saturday to Nj on
day. They are sensible excursions,
and will do him needed good, and we
trust that his critics will hold their
peace. So long as he observes the
Sabbath as scrupulously as he has

Choir during the day, and going

tionalist
Canada Wei Worth Winning.
Canada is a country of great re-
sources. 1t is well worth the Win
ming, both because union would be
beneficial to both parties, and be-
cause in its present condition Cana
da, as the dependency of a foreign
and rival power, is a serious menace
to our peace; but an alliance with
England, or any other foreign power,
would be a mistake for which we
should have to pay heavily. Gen.
Buffers dream is a beautiful one,
based upon a lofty theory, but we
should be buying Canada dearly at
the price of its practical applica ton.

Placing the Responsibility.
For Mr.. Tanners doings Gen. Har-
rison is particularly responsible. He
selected the commissioner of pensions
according to his own views, honra
veteran standpoint, and he has eX-
pressed no disapprobation of his
course. If the president desires a diff
ferent line of conduct of pension af-

wishes, and the entire interior de-
partment, and the treasury also,
must conform to them so long as
they are authorized by law. If the
pension bureau has gone wrong it is
the administration that has gone
wrong New York Star.
Why Horr Declined.
Spellbinder Roswell g. Horr's de-
clination of the Valparaiso consul
ship is, presumably, rendered with
feelings somewhat akin to indigna-
ton. An ex-member of congress and
a prize humorist on the stump might
naturally aspire to loftier heights in
the public service than this $4,000
place. 1t is alleged, however, that
Orator Horr received his guild pro
quo from the plethoric treasury of
the republican national committee
last fall, his humorous speeches hav-
ing been delivered at so much per
joke. In which case he can hardly
complain of ingratitude now Bos-

ANOTHER LUCKY MAN
Don't you wish it was you
or your wife ?

Twenty years ago last Tuesday, ohm Well
foot, well known employee at the Scale
Works, secured twenty-year endowment
policy of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York, for which the yearly premium
was to be $49.7o. For various reasons, he
paid the premiums every three months, max
ing it cost him little extra. Today shall
pay him 81 .04442, the odd money being his
annual dividend for last year. His annual
dividends used every three months, have re-
duced the cost of his Policy about 20 per
cent, making the cash outlay not far from
$775. 90, giving him profit of some $27O,
not far from per cent compound interest,
outside of the protection enjoyed by the Pol
icy. Still it is common thing to hear peo
pie say that no Insurance Co. can pay back
much money you pay in. If I can't
show you hundreds of cases in this state,
paid inside of year, 1 will insure you for
nothing and be pleased to do it. John says,
''if any one says he could have done equally
well to have put his money in Savings
Bank tell them that if it had been in a Bank,
he would have spent it dozen times
With this money he will buy the property
just across S1eepers River of John Belknap's
estate, making him a nice home for the small
savings put by. Go thou and do likewise.

St. Johnsbury papers on the latest
announcement that the asylum site
cost only SO, 900, instead of 500
900 as announced by the associated
press dispatch from Waterbury at
the time of the purchase The Gale
donian of June was the first paper
in the state to announce the correct
price SIS, 900 and it said then,
what it still believes, that the price
was too high. Vermont does not

DEATH OF MRS. TYLER.

Closely following the death of Mrs.
Rutherford B. Hayes comes the death
of Mrs. Julia Tyler, widow of Presi-
dent Tyler, who died at Richmond,
Va, July 10. She was the second
wife Of Mr. Tyler, who met her under
circumstances that were tragic, and
in their way romantic. She was the
daughter of David Gardiner of East
Hampton, n. Y, a descendant of the
Gardeners of Gardiner Island In the
winter of 1914 Mr. Gardiner and
daughter while in Washington, &C
cepted an invitation to accompany
President Tyler on a pleasure excur-
sion. During the trip gun on the
war steamer Princeton, which car
ried the party, exploded and Mr..
Gardiner was killed. The body was
taken to the White House A few
weeks later the engagement of the
president and Miss Gardiner was an
nounced, and in June of that year
they were married. Mrs. Tyler pre-
sided at the White House for eight
months. She was woman of many
accomplishments, finely educated
and a graceful entertainer The clos
ing years of her life were spent at
Richmond. Her son, Lyon Gardiner
Tyler, is president of William and
Mary college. Her death leaves two
presidential widows, Mrs Grant and
Mrs. Garfield, each drawing pensions
of $4,000. Mrs. Cleveland will come
into that income with the first con-
gress that meets after the death of
her present husband
THOSE 'ARTHUR RICHMOND
LETTERS.
Dom Piatt of Ohio has lifted the

guards organized by the late Allen
ThOrndike Rice. | was as near as

"Hurlbert, Abigail Dodge, Albion
Tourgee, ct al, not including the late
Cauzaran nor the immediate Haw-
thorne. We all pelted away without
knowing whom the others were vi
tuperating. Thorndike, with great
impartiality, selected the victims. l
learned that Ben Butler was selected
to join us, but declined on the ground
that when he vituperated he did so
under his own name"
James Redpath, formerly managing
editor of the North American Review,
says Hurlbert wrote the first one,
Rice wrote the attack on Thurman
and Ingalls, was asked to write but
declined. Concerning this whole
matter the Springfield Republican
says:
The fool friend of the late Mr. Rice
who began the revelations to re-
lieve that PERSONS reputation of the
stigma of writing the letters, may
possibly comprehend by this time
what he really has done. Mr.. Rice
was not the active highwayman, he
was only the organizer of the gang,
the originator of a dastardly scheme
of personal SANDER. LET the dead

gang confesses with sufficient brava-

Secretary Window is receiving crit
icism on all sides for displacing the
steam plate-printing presses from the
government office of printing and en-
craving, and replacing the hand
presses This is said to be at the die
tation of the Knights of Labor, who
have been clamoring for this change
for a long time because the power
presses require fewer hands to run
them than do the hand presses. This
is the old cry of labor against labor
saving machinery, and it seems very
late in the nineteenth century to go
back to the methods of the fathers
Perhaps the Knights may yet de
mand hand presses in the newspaper
offices, and the old fashioned scythe
in place of the moving machine
Senator Washburn s relations with
Secretary Window are so intimate
that it is believed in Washington
that the Treasury department will
not attempt to tariff-tax Canadian
cars. Senator Washburn is presi-
dent of the 800" line, which is one
of the most important connections of
the Canadian Pacific. Now that the
Halifax division of the latter road
passes through Maine they are very
DESTROYS of securing bonding privi-
leges from our government SO that
through freight and baggage need not
be examined. This privilege has been
given the Grand Trunk, and should
in justice be granted to the Canadian
Pacific. If their cars are tariff-taxed
and bonding privileges refused they
will be dOublv criDD1ed.

A Story of the vandaIia.

The United States ship Vandalia, of
which the melancholy wreck in the
great hurricane at Apia. in the Samoan
islands, has been made known, was
one of the most prominent vessels in
that wooden navy of which the Amer
leans are at present SO anxious to get
rid. She, nevertheless, was a very
handsome type of a corvette which
might well be mistaken for a frigate.
Some twelve years ago she was at
Constantinople, and was much adj
mired by the Turks. In the mind.
however, of the Pasha of the Dardan-
Giles her imposing size excited some
suspicion. When the Vandalia hove
to, prior to passage through the straits
into the Sea of Marmora, she was
boarded by the Pasha. who, as in duty
bound, reminded the Captain that. I'M
der the capitulations existing between
the American and Ottoman Govern

bring gunboat up to Stamboul. Its

course of construction at the machine
shops of the Dickson Manufacturing
Company, at Scranton, Pa. 1t is what
Is called a sand wheel, and is being
made for the Calumet & Hecla Copper
Company, of the Lake Superior re-
gion. The great wheel will be fifty
three feet in diameter and several feet
wide, and the Dickson Manufacturing
Company will get $4,000 for it. 1t is
being built around 20-inch hollow
shaft of gun metal, and it will weigh be-
tween $50 and160 tons when completed
When the great wheel is put in place
at the copper mines it will be made to
revolve slowly by means of enormous
cogs on the surface of it's circumfer-
ence. The cogs are being cast in seq
ments, and will weigh many tons in
the aggregate. On each side of the
mammoth wheel there will be fifty
buckets. each of which will hold about
100 gallons, and these buckets will
elevate the washings and dump them
into sluiceway. After the great
wheel has been built up and the fin
ishing touchings have been put on it
will be taken apart and shipped.
Every piece will be numbered, so that
there will be no trouble in putting the
wheel together, and it will take eight
or ten cars to transport it.-Philadel-
