To Merchants, Butchers, and Produce
Dealers.

Carroll S. Page, the Hyde Park, VT,
Calf Skin dealer, wishes to arrange
with some trader or butcher in each
village to collect for him the calf skins
taken off in that vicinity.
Mr.. Page furnishes money, without
charge for interest, to all who can
give good guaranty that the money
will not be diverted or misappropri-
ated.
The Shoe & Leather Reporter, n.
Y, and Shoe & Lea ther Review, Chi
cago, the leading trade papers of the
U. S. in the hide line, have sent their
Pages business, and after thorough
examination and comparison the Re
porter gives him this endorsement:
1--WE believe that in extent of light
weight raw material collected and
carried, Mr. Page holds the lead of
any competitor and that his present
stock is the largest held by any house
in this country"
And the Review says:
after most thorough investiga-
ton of Mr.. Pages business as COM
pared with others in the same line,
we have become fully satisfied that
in his speciality, lightweight stock,
he is unquestionably the largest deal
err in this country, while in superiori-
ty of quality he is confessedly at the
head"

ask for terms to buyers, naming this

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Big Fire in New York.

The biggest and fiercest fire that
New Workers have witnessed in this
generation swept the east bank of
the North river clean Friday from
59th street to what would be 65th
street if the street ran to the river.
1t destroyed more than 81 100000
worth of property belonging to the
New York Central railroad, and at
least half million dollars worth of
stores of lard, flour and the like be-
longing to other persons, notably n.
K. Fairbanks, the great Chicago
lard merchant. At least one man
was killed in his headlong flight from
the fire at its first outbreak. Anum-
Der were injured by jumping from the
windows of the burning buildings in
their wild terror of the conflagration
but no account was kept of them.

stated that a party of a half-dozen
liquor dealers made a short trip out
side the state, and returned with
100000, to be put where it would
do the most good"
1t is reported on authority which
one can readily believe who has care
fully read the Boston papers, that
every newspaper in the city, with the
exception of the Traveller, was sub
sidized Theliquor interests not only
bought their advertising space at
$50 a column, but bought news
and editorial columns as well. And
yet after such corrupt use of money
the Herald has the gall to call the re-
suit "a victory for the press and
the Springfield Republican, after the
battle, says editorially, "a long-suf-
fering people will have the right to
insist that the work of yesterday
shall suffice for some time to come.
The temper of the people has been
fairly tested, and at great cost of dis
cussion and money" 1t would seem
at this distance that one of the Re-
publican's ringing editorials on the
corrupt use of money in elections"
would be more appropriate.
In order to get any show in the
newspapers at all the friends of the
amendment had to pay for 1t, and
even the Boston Journal put at the
head of its temperance matter that
the editor was in no way response
BILE for the sentiments expressed in
that column Such is the free and
uncorruptible Massachusetts press !!
The friends of temperance however
feel they have made a gain, and now
the amendment is lost will turn their

ton against the great evil of intern

ticians were opposed to him. As a
post Office man he was neither re-
publican nor democrat, and there
fore republican and democratic poll
ticians made a common cause against
him. The city was growing rapidly;
the business of his office grew with
commensurate rapidity; so did its IN
come. But the democratic politicians
in Washington refused to increase
his appropriations relatively. Mr..
Pearson was compelled to carry on
constantly increasing business with
a relatively diminished income. In
the endeavor he overworked himself.
Then a partisan press made the I'M
PROJECTIONS in administration, 1nevl-
table from inadequate appropr1a-
tons, and the illness brought on by
overwork, a reason for his removal.
And a republican administrator has
removed a republican from office,
whose business ability in that office
had won for him a national reputa-
ton; and a man has been put IN his
place who, whatever his merits or de-
merits, has no experience whatever
in the business of which he has been
put in charge. There is no non-po-
litical office in the country on whose
efficient administration the comfort
of more persons depends than the
New York post office. And it is first
crippled in appropriations, and then
its tried and proved and efficient
head is removed, to make a place for
a man untried, improved, without
experience And the faithful officer
who has given his life to this one ser
vice is turned out in middle life to be
gin life anew where and as he can.
We indict the system which permits
such an act as this as worse than a
national foI1v

THE AMENDMENT DEFEA TED.

The voters of Massachusetts re-
jected the prohibitory constitutional
amendment on Monday by over II
600 majority, nearly One-half of
which majority was given in the city
of Boston alone This result had
been discounted for the last three or
four weeks-in fact ever since the
votes on similar propositions in New
Hampshire and Rhode Island. The
fact that it was expected takes the
edge off the disappointment for the
defeated party
There were MANY things which en-
tered into this canvass that helped
turn the tide against the amendment
The result was aided largely by ex-
cellent men who for good reasons
ito them could not favor it Prom
inent among these unfortunate cir
cumstances was an editorial printed
in that excellent religious and family
newspaper, the Congregationalist
To show how quickly and with what
avidity the rum party seized upon
this opportunity 1t is necessary sim
ply to add that they took this edito-
rial article to a prominent advertis-
ing agent and ordered it printed in
every newspaper in Massachusetts :;
in the editorial or news columns
when those columns were for sale,
otherwise as public opinion, reading
notice or ad. The reader can Judge
something of the effect of such an ar
ticle from such a source on the con-
stituency of any paper the readers of
which believed its publishers incor-
ruptible and unpurchasable
Another mighty influence in the re-
suit, closely allied to the above, and
really the one which decided the mat
ter, was the money furnished by the
liquor interests, the corrupting in
fluence of which permeated every cor
ner of the state. Money was spent
without stint Besides the immense
sum furnished by Massachusetts
men, the Boston Herald, paper
which fought the amendment from
the first, in its issue of Tuesday-af
ter the vote was decided-admits

Rio Grande road at / O'Clock Friday
morning. While the Salt Lake ex-
press was running through the Black
canon, a huge land slide came tear
ing down the side of the canon, sew
eral of the immense boulders striking
the engine, throwing it from the
track and hurting it down a 3O-foot
embankment in the Gunnison river.
The engine in the descent turned over
several times, crushing the fireman
to death. Engineer Ryan was
caught under a portion of the ma
chinery and pinioned to the bed of
the river, and nearly drowned before
rescued. None of the coaches were
thrown from the track, and on ac-
count of the roaring waters 1t was
several minutes before the passengers
and crew'knew of the accident.
A terrible yellow fever scourge has
visited Rio Janeiro and the deaths
are 100 daily.
A careless person in Taunton,
Mass, threw out piece of poisoned
bread on the street to kill dog last
Friday. The bread was eaten by
little child who died in few hours.
Christian Holworth of Lowville,

THE AGE OF BOOMS.

The excursion train-load of New
England men who have lately gone
to DeniSOn, Texas, shows the I'M
proved method of booming a town
and the manner in which shekels are
transferred from the pockets of the
simple into those of individuals or q
syndicate who first secure the land
and then boom the boom. Perhaps
the most prominent boomer just now
before the public is w. P. Rice, a few
years ago warden of the state prison
at Windsor-one of the last men one
would have thought then to turn
out a boss speculator. Of late years
Mr. Rice has been in that booming
western town, Kansas City. He
started the new American bank of
that city couple of years ago with
a million and a quarter of capital.
He is now president of the Union in
vestment company of the same place.
few months ago he engineered
the Fort Payne boom, taking train
load of New Englanders down there.
He is reported to have made a large
sum of money in that speculation
at any rate he is now repeating his
methods on Texas and Oklahoma.
1t is by his invitation that the New
England men visit Denison and he is
credited with paying all the bile
which are variously estimated at
from six to twenty thousand dollars
for the trip.
The Vernonters invited on this ex-
cursion are Col. Haskins, Capt. F.
w. Childs, T. J. B. Cudworth and
Fred Franks of BrattleborO; Col.
Albert Fletcher of Middlebury; Col
T. c. Fletcher and DIR. H. S. Browne,
of ST. Johnsbury; Alfred E. Watson
of Hartford Col. B. B. Smalley, B.
R. Seymour and Buel ]. Derby of
Burlington; A. g. Wheeler, L. P.
Thayer and Royal 7. Dubois of West
Randolph, Col. Fred E. Smith, L. P.
Gleason, Harlan W. Kemp, L. Bart
Cross, James w. Brock, M. NJ Cut
Ter, H. n. Taplin and Hiram Atkins
of Nj ontpelier There are 129 on the
train and a dispatch from Denison
Sunday says they have purchased a
big lot fland and organized COM
pany with a million dollars capital.
This Denison is a town near the Ok
lahoma line,-the territory about to
be purchased" from the Indians
and this new syndicate are to sell
town lots
One thing in all this business is
very noticeable. When a western
boomer wants to start a boom he
comes to New England for the money
if not for his victims. 1t would be
gratifying to know that he did not
always find men ready to grab at his
bait

Henry G. Pearson, postmaster of
New York city, died at Highwood,
N. J., early Saturday morning from a
severe hemorrhage. His death was
caused by steady application to work
and to over-work. He was a mar
tyr to that much-abused civil service
reform, a bitter enemy of the spoils
system, yet removed from his post
by republican president to be sue
ceeded by politician. The week be-
fore Postmaster Pearson was taken
sick the following editorial upon his
removal appeared in the Christian
Union:
from the New York post office and
the appointment in his place of man
wholly without experience in the
post office department, and whose
chief, if not only, recommendation for
the office is his efficiency and value as
a political worker, is an event which
demands notice as an object lesson
1t illustrates the essential vice of that
deformed civil service against which
the Christian Union will not cease to
attempt to raise its voice so long as
1t has a voice to which the public
will listen.
Mr. Pearson began his business life
in the post Office. By fidelity, abili-
ty, business methods, and that skill
which is derived from singleness of
purpose and experience, he steadily
climbed to front rank. He was bv
life-training a post Office man. He
was put at the head of the New York
post office by a republican admins
tration. He was kept there by a
democratic administration. And by
his ability and skill he made the post
office in the metropolis a model office
with a national reputation.
But he would not make it subservi-
ent to politics, and therefore the poll

OBJECTIONABLE METHODS.

1t will be of interest to some news
paper publishers to learn that the
Hop Remedies company of Boston,
extensive advertisers in the country
press, are trying to effect settlement
with creditors at % cents on the dol
lar. If country publishers will con-
tinue to take foreign Advertising
giving top of column. next to read
inc material about One-half what
they charge for good clean local bust
ness, they will not only assume the
risk of getting % cents on the dollar,
but they will thereby SO depreciate
their papers as advertising mediums
that the local business will advertise
through other channels. There would
seem to be right and a wrong way
to treat local advertisers. 1t is hard
" the right course to give preferred
space to foreign advertisers at any
price; certainly not at any lower
rates than are charged local business.
In the near future local advertisers
are going to kick when their favOrs
are overshadOwed by some abomina-
BILE cut or electro, or when they are
obliged to takea back seat byreason
of big ads of bitters, pills or soap.
