NOTE AND COMMENT.

There is no finer trips planned for
this summer than the Raymond ex-
cursions to the Yellowstone park,
full particulars of which are given in
another column. 1t is a luxury I'M
surpassed to travel on a Raymond.
The movement to curtail Sunday
trains, which has made such favora-
BILE progress in the East, is moving
westward, and the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad is the first one
centering in Chicago to inaugurate
the reform.
1t is predicted that there will be
the biggest railroad fight New Hamp-
shire ever saw at the next Legislature
as a result of the decision of the SUI
preme court as to the ownership OF
the B., c. & M railroad. "There's
millions in it"-for the lobbyists.
The June Scribner's has a capital
hit on the Robert Elsmere craze. An
infant is handed a rattle, q doll and
then another toy, but is still unhap-
py AS last resort the nurse hands
him Robert Elsmere and the child is
wild with delight. The picture is
appropriately labelled, Has it come
to this?"
The Hartford Theological seminary
has opened its doors to women on
the same terms as men. The dis
patch announcing this fact states
that this action is taken to meet
the special needs of women who are
preparing themselves for Christian
teaching, for the missionary field and
for any religious work other than
the pastorate."
The first sentence to death by cleo
tricity has been pronounced by a
Buffalo judge upon a man who
murdered his mistress. Exceptions
have been taken to the sentence upon
the ground that it is "cruel and un-
usual" Inasmuch as death is in
Simultaneous there seems to be no
ground for cruelty. For humanity s
sake electricity ought to be substi-
tuted for hanging in every state.
One of the funny photographers
gives as the dying words of states
man, 'See that no monument is
erected to my memory" The fund
for the Horace Greeley monument is
only $4,000 and SIS, 200 more are
needed, while the Grant monument
is still unbuilt and money coming in
very slowly. 1t is a capital idea of
some New Workers to erect a monu-
ment to Postmaster Pearson but I'M
less the capital is forthcoming this
generation will be unlikely to see the
monument.

This scared the cow and she jumped
on to one of the hind wheels of the
buggy, overturning it, and throwing
Ridley to the ground.

DTsCOURAGING WORK.

The law passed by the last Legls-
lature providing for the appointment
of a commission to investigate the
agricultural and manufacturing in
terests of the state and develop the
same, is not meeting with the success
its trainers desired, or that its impor-
tance demands Commissioner Val
entine of Bennington has done his
part in sending schedules all over the
state, and asking the listers, farmers
and manufacturers to fill them out
and report to him. But very few re-
turns have been received, and the
matter is being treated with COM
parative Indifference In Brattleboro
where the listers have taken special
pains to collect this information, less
than 100 returns have come in, and
other towns in that section are even
more apathetic. The bill was framed
to effect, if possible, remedy for the
decay among the hill farms. 1t is the
belief of Hon. Frederick Billings of
Woodstock that the tide of ernigra-
ton will turn by and by, and that
the Vermont hills will be alive again
with thrifty and prosperous farmers.

The Bourne mill at Fall River is
the first of the 40 cotton mills of that
city to adopt the plan of sharing its
profits with its 500 employees. This
idea of Jevons, the English econO-
mist, is practised in the Boston Her
aid office, Wanamakers store and in
some of our large factories. The an
nouncement of the plan produced a
very favorable impression among the
Fall River Spinners and weavers and
we hope to see it adopted in other
mills there and elsewhere. The
Bourne mill is largely owned by one
man, Jonathan Bourne of New Bed
ford, and paid IA per cent in divi-
dends in 1887 and 16 per cent in
1888 1t has been for the past two
years one of the best paying mills in
the city and now proposes to give 6
per cent of its earnings to its en-
plOyes. Some are inclined to sheer
at the movement and question its
success, but more are found who
heartily commend the directors for
their generosity and want to see the
experiment fairly tried. The plan
gives each employee over 81 a year
and though only a small sum, is
enough to encourage all the work
men to more faithful service 1t has
established an economic doctrine in
a city which has passed through
several long and costly labor troubles
and we bespeak for it success. It's
effect on the labor problems will be
watched with interest.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

The duty of all citizens to uphold
law and sustain its officers was
never more important than at
the present time. Perhaps this town
never saw the time when this was
more needed, because of the increas-
ing lawless and vicious clement and
the freedom given the tramp Two
cases have occurred here in one week
reported in local cOlumns-which
must emphasize this fact. An officer
in the discharge of his duty, is as
saulted, and only by his unusual
strength is he saved from serious
personal injury or death. An officer
who is conscientious in the discharge
of his duty well knows the risk he
incurs. He expects the enmity of
the hoodlum and the vicious class
but he also expects and deserves the
encouragement and moral support
of every good citizen, and it is a
shame to the patriotism and good
name of the town if he does not re-
ceive it
The rough clement in the country
is standing menace to our republi-
can institutions 1t is not all in the
cities by any means, but it is spread
ing into the country. The choicest
New England towns are feeling its
baneful effect. Only week before last
when two officers attempted to
break up a midnight carousal in a
house at Northampton, the ruffians
turned upon the police and beat them
with clubs and stones so savagely
that at first it was thought their
lives would pay the forfeit. Fortu-
nately a friendly house, where watch
ers were with a sick person, opened
it's doors and sheltered the officers
Here the ruffians followed and at
tempted to beat down the doors, and
only desisted when one of the police
got gun and filled an assailant with
bird shot
Citizens who, by word or act, side
with the lawless element, encourage
law-breaking, and not only do the
officers who are endeavoring to exc
cute the law great injustice, but
strike blow at the very foundation
of all society.
