Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. 1t is a fact,
established by the testimony of thou
sands of people, that Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla does cure scr fula, salt rheum,
and other diseases or affections arising
from impure state or low condition of
the blood. Ii also overcomes that tired
feeling, creates a good appetite, and
gives strength to every part of the

GENERAL LEW WALLACE's paper,
embodied in the report of the board of
visitors to West Point, is one of the
most radical and one of the most inter-
esting suggestions about the United
States army that has been made for
many years. What he proposes is to
make the military service attractive by
assuring every enlisted man of mill
tary education and of the chance of a
commission. 1t can hardly be doubted
that this purpose would be served.
The effect in democratizing the army
would also be very great. Privates and
officers would really be of the same
social standing, just as cadets and Of
ficers now are at West Point. Whether
military discipline could be maintained
in such condition of things is ques-
ton that can be answered only by ex-
perience.-Ne,C York Times.

A Week of Fires.

1t is unprecedented that within two
days two immense CONGREGATIONS should
occur in cities not ten miles separated.
On Tuesday of last week fire broke out
in wooden building in Lynn, Mass,
and before it was checked-or, rather,
when it had burned down to the waters
edge-a pecuniary loss of upwards of
IS 900 900 had been sustained, seven
thousand people had been thrown out
of work and one hundred seventy-fve
families had become homeless. The
fire was in the heart of the business
portion of the city, One-third of which
was laid in ruins in few hours. The
burned district covers about half a
square mile. A Congregational church
and four newspaper offices shared the
common fate. The Boston fire depart.
ment rendered splendid assistance, and
Boston men have since subscribed gen
erously for the relief of the needy.
But a similar blow, almost as severe,
came to the New England metropolis
on the morning of Thursday. The
alarm was rung from the same box that
was used in the great fire of November
8, 1872. The fire started in the build
ing occupied by Brown, Durrell q Co.,
at the corner of Kingston and Bedford

Congress In Session.

The fifty-first congress met and or
ganized on Monday noon of this week.
Both parties in the house had previ-
ously held caucuses, at which nomina-
tons for the offices to be filled had
been made. The republicans met on
Saturday, and, without friction, Reed of
Maine was nominated for speaker on
the second ballot, having a decided
lead over Mckinley, the foremost of
his competitors.
The democrats met in caucus on
Monday, and besides nominating Mr.
Carlisle for speaker, they adopted a
resolution reaffirming their faith in
tariff reform as stated by President
Cleveland in his last message.
The senate met, with ce-president
Morton in the chair, and after referring
a few routine resolutions to com
mittees, adjourned. The house elected
Mr.. Reed speaker by vote of 1876 to
154 for Carlisle, with one for Amos
Cummings of New York. The other
officers elected were these: Clerk, Ed
ward Mcpherson; sergeant-at-arms A.
j. Holmes; door-keeper, G. A. Adams
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-12-04

streets, and the burning out of an cleo
trio wire is supposed to have been the
cause. From the starting-point the
flames moved westward in the direction
of Washington street, following Bed
ford street closely. Nearly all the
buildings burned were business blocks.
The total loss is estimated by the BoS-
ton Advertiser at "a 100000. The in
surance is, to quite an extent, in Eng
lish companies, and will doubtless be
met, although the strain on the COM
panies is a heavy one. Neighboring
cities sent attachments Of their fire de-
p'rtments to help out the Boston force.
Several fatal accidents to fremen &C.
Cured, and the police made one es-
pecially gallant rescue.
Coming in one case two days before,
and in the other on the morning of
Thanksgiving day, these two fearful
calamities are exceedingly sad. The
Lynn fire is much the more serious,
both in business way and also in its
train of personal suffering. The city
will find it hard to recover at all from
the shock, and in the coming winter
the privations that the laboring people,
who probably have little money ahead g,
are sure to encounter will be extremely
keen and sad in many cases. Boston,
however, will rebuild her great blocks
and make them more beautiful and
costly than ever. Business will 90 on
in few days almost the same as ever,
and a couple of years will remove every
vestige of this great fire, second only
in Boston to that of 1872.
Still another great fire occurred at
Minneapolis, Mimi, and in this the
appalling fact was not the loss of a
great amount of property and the suf-
fering that will ensue, but the shocking
fatalities caused by the absence of
proper means of escape from high
building, and by the rapid spread of the
flames. The fire occurred on Saturday
night in the building of the Minneapolis
Tribune, while large force of COM
positors and editors was on the upper
floors. 1t started from some unknown
cause in a room near the elevator shaft,
and the breaking of window allowed
a current of air to fan the flames into
great fire in few minutes. Edward
Olson, president of the University of
South Dakota, was among the dead,
the others being in nearly every case
connected with the Tribune, either as
members of the editorial force or as
printers. Many, in attempting to es-
cape, fell from high windows to the
ground. About twenty died from the
flames or from falls. This, and a So,
900 fire al Albany, N. Y, also on Sat
urday, added to the two disastrous visi
tations of the devouring element al
Lynn and Boston, make it week un
parelleled in the extent and sadness oil
the devastation.
