Oh, search this vice world wherever you can.
You viii find no door open for moneyless man.
Then 80 to your halls where the chandeliers liSht
Drives Oh with its eplendor the darkness Of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet in shadowy fold
sweeps gracefully Gown in its trimming Of gold.
Those mirrors Of silver take mp and renew,
In long Lighted vistss, the bewildering view;
Go there in your halls and find, il you can,
welcoming smi;e for moneyless man
Then go to your church with its cIoaareaehing

That drives back to the sun its same look Of red

Where the arches and columns are gorgeous with

And the walls seer, aspire a. the sonl withor,
Walk down the long aislrs, see the rich and the

Then 20 to the banks where Mamnon weer told

Where, safe from the hands Of the starving and
Lie piles upon piles Of the gli;tering ore:
Walk up 10 the counter, and there you may stay
Till your limbs have grown old, and your hair
turning gray,
And you II find not a bank, no, not one in the clan,
Hath money TO lend TO moncyless man.
Then 90 to your judge, with his dark flowing gown,
Who, with scales Of the law, weighed equity down,
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To render verdict already made;
Oh, go in your cOurt-rooms, and find, il you can,
ANY law for the cause OF mOIeyless man,
Then go TO your hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who had suffered too long for her bread;
And kneel by the pallet, and kiss the death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost,
And then in your ruin turn upward TO God,
And bless, while it smles you, the Christening rod
Yon'll find, at the end Of lifes little span,
There's 4 welcome above for moneyless man.

ENGLISH CLEARING SYSTEM

In view of the fact that the new agree
ment of the Railroad Presidents is based
in some degree upon the English Clear
ing House system, the following account
of that system, taken from McDermott's
history of it, may be of interest
The Railway Clearing House is simply
voluntary association, sanctioned by
act of Parliament, of official representa-.
tives Of the railway companies formed
for the purpose of securing prompt and
equitable payment, at agreed rates, for
services rendered in the conveyance of
passengers and good over roads not
owned by the companies with whom the
business originates 1t has no concern
with what is termed the "loca" tre ffic,
and deals only with the throughout"
traffic when passing over more than one
road. As an illustration, take the freight
originating at Chicago and destined for
New York, passing ever the three roads
owned respectively by the Chicago and
Grand Trunk, the Grand Trunk and the
New York Central. The course adopted
would be that the officer of the company
forwarding the freight would advise the
agent at New York of the business, in
form him of the date and time of de-
parture of the train, the numbers and
names of the owners of the cars and the
amount charged Tor tn freight. These
advces having been verified. the receiv-
ing agent would advise the Clearing
House of the business and supply the |
details which had been forwarded. On |
receipt of this information the Clear ing |
House would proceed to divide the |
amount to each of the three companies |
in proportion to an agreed mileage scale
and the rate agreed upon by the mana
gers of the railway companies who are
represented in the association. There is
nothing in the nature of pool in this
Each company taking
part in the movement of the freight is
paid according to the service which it
has rendered in the matter. The Clear
ing House has nothing to do with the
working or management of the railways;
it simply gives effect in most conven
lent and economical form to the decis.
ions of the railway managers, and in
sures, as far as possible, strict adherence
to agreements. The decisions of the
Clearing House in England are final and
absolute, and during the whole period
Of its existence-it was established in
lS46-there has not occurred single in
stance of litigation arising out OF the
conduct of its business.
The payments to the companies mem
Ders of the Clearing House are made by
directing its bankers, Messrs. Glynn &
Co., transfer to or from the accounts of
The respective companies such sums as
nay be found to be due or payable to
hem. Each of the companies has an
lDRn account with the baukprR with of
course, substantial balances to meet the
ransfer orders of the Clearing House.
In adapting the system to the working
II railways in this country, moditica-
ions in matters of detail would, no
Ioubt, be necessary, but the principle is
qually applicable To American as to
English railways. There may be diff.
ulties in introducing the system, but 10 !
PRACTICAL men and managers of railways
hey are not Of such nature as to be re- !

WHO SHALL PRESIDE AT TOWN
MEETINGS9

The attention Of selectmen, and others
is called 70 No. 144 of the session laws
of 1888 relating to the election of moder
stor of town meetings. The first section
amends the section two thousand six
hundred fifty-three OF The r vised Laws
so as to read as follows:
Town meeting shall be called to order
by the moderator, or in his absence by
one of the selectmen, who shall read the
warning aud cali upon the voters to
choose a moderator pro tempore"
Heretofore town meetings have been
called to order by town clerks. 1t was
their duty also to preside over the meet
ing until the choice of moderator was
made. A moderator's duties ceased at
the final adjournment of the meeting
over which he was called TO preside, and
at any succeeding warned meeting,
whenever held, new moderator was
electrd, The new law provides for a
longer tenure of office viz, one yeaI
and until successor shall have been
chosen. In the future, therefore, ii
will he the duty of the moderator chos-
en- at the annual meeting to pre- 'ide over
all town meeting, in the year following
his election. 1t shall also be his duty IN
preside over the succeeding annual
town meeting until after his successor
shall be chosen.
In the ab.ence of the moderator, IL is
provided that one of the se'ectmen Of
the town shall read the warning and
call upon the voters to choose a modera-
tor pro tempOre. At the coming March
meeting therefore, one OF the selectmer,
there being now no moderator by cleo
ton, will call the meeting to order in
stead OF the town clerk, and such select
man will preside until the choice Of
moderator pro tempOre is made, who in
turn will preside until the choice Of mod
orator il made. The machinery once set
in motion, 1t will not require the choice
OF a moderator pro temp0re, thereafter,
except in times OF absence Of the moder-
ator elected at the annual meeting.

THINK OF THIS.

The statistician has been diving into
anthracite coal statistics, and comes Out
with the shivering intelligence that the
total amount Of coal yet to be mined il
90, $3.50, 576, 900 tons. This is a good deal
Of coal, but experience has shown that
the waste is eaqual to two thirds of the
coal deposit, or about 1873, III, 1884
tons.
II this estimate be true, we only have
$3.50 1886, 1855 tons of available anthracite
coal, From 1920 to 1878, inclusive, 800,
017.9l7 tons of anthracite coal have been
sent to market. The increase of produc-
ton for the last decade has been 1S7,-
112 S57 tons. At this rate it is easy to
see we shall reach our probable maxi
mum output of $4,000 600 tons in the
year 1900, and will finally exhaust the
supply in 1856 years,
Now, this ia the most liberal estimate.
From the same number Of the Collieru
Engineer there are two other estimates
one giving rs years and another 81 years
as the length of time these coal fields
will last il the present system of waste
is continued. Think of it! Fifty years
more and no bright anthracite to glad
den our hearts. And worsel No robber
coal barons for the Herald and World
to abuse. When we ponder over these
facts, and think that the coal supply will
certainly be exhausted in 1856 years, how
grateful we should be for the present
mild winter.-NelC York Press.

The Burlington correspondent OF the
Troy Budget accounts for the protection
sentiment in this State, in these words
1.-The fact that Vermonters are the
strongest protectionists in the United
States is significant inasmuch as they
live next door to Canada, have back door
spsts with the Canucks and are in pc
sition to know as much about their
neighbors business as anybody. Their
knowledge is the more extended in this
respect because the two great Canadian
railroad systems, the Grand Trunk and
Canadian Pacific, in which all local
roads in the Dominion live and have
their being, find their chief outlet TO
New England through Vermont rail-
roads. That knowledge, moreover, is
practicable. Vermonters know the val
ne of free goods, especially when they
are returning from trip to Canada. 1t
does not seem like smuggling to buy ar
ticles that can be carried in the pocket,
such as we'll filled TASKS for instance, or
other articles that might be mentioned ;
but many people do smuggle 10 that way
who would not think OF breaking the
law extensively. There Is mysterious
sort of fascination about it which has
for its basis the every day feeling that
one is getting more for his money than
he could in any other way. Then again
since the prohibition law has been doub-
led and twisted some of our people who
are experts in the way of sampling say
that better goods" are kept across the
line. Putting this phase of the question
back in the pc, ket, however, residents
Of the north part of the State do have a
practical understanding of protection.
They are constantly going in and out
among their neighbors and have the best
of opportunities to study the conditions
on either side of the line and the effect
Of our system on their own business in
terests as well as those of their neigh
bors. Tie result of this intercourse and
observation is the development on this
side OF the imaginary line connecting
the iron boundary posts of the strongest
protectionists, while those on the other
side devoutly pray for free trade with
this side.
