here seems TO be awakening no little in

do is TO make an appropriation of few

maintenance of a regular station here if
they want TO see encouraging results.

hundred springs were sold in 1887 from

You have only to try the springs to CON

the original members survive, Mrs.

ly one of those sturdy old saints who
was able to be present and partlcl-
pate in the celebration.
The music furnished by Prof.
Toase, assisted by Messrs. Mitchell,
Gibbon and Spafford, the latter from
Kenosha, was of high order of ex-
cellence. Rare taste was displayed
in the selections, while the harmony
and beauty of expression was SO
touching that when the last piece
was rendered there was scarcely a
dry eye in the congregation. We
would like to review at length the
many beautiful incidents of the an
niversary, but have not the ability
or space to do so. Those who were
present, however, will be ever glad
they sacrificed a little in getting out
on such an unfavorable morning

rare treat they missed. Surely, as

churches united in celebrating the

chosen and delivered were the words
of Rev. Cadman on the great and
far-reaching influence an organiza-
ton of this kind has in shaping the
character and destiny of a people in
a community thus organized.
An excellent history of the church
written by Miss Anna Smith, was
one of the important features of the
occasion, dwelling as it did upon the
early trials and incidents of the or
ganization and their final trirmph,
and bringing to mind the names OF

On Sunday at the Plank Road
church the pastor pointed out the
difference between the broad and
narrow way. The difficulty attend
ing and care needed while walking
in one, and the ease with which you
can walk in the other. But that the
most happiness was enjoyed in the
narrow way, and trouble and sorrow
in the broad way, besides the differ
ence in the end of the journey,
which is very great. Sunday was a
very good day to stay at home. The
roads were very muddy, almost as
bad as Main street in Kenosha.
Quite a number braved the mud and
heard a good sermon.
The Y. P. S. C. E. at their meet

and criminals.

Protection INDICATED by Elk
perience.

Listening to the denunciationS of
the policy Of protection to home in
dustries, so persistentlY employed by
free advocates, the unposted
voter might readily infer that pro-
lection was a mere experiment, un-
sanctioned by practical statesmen of
other countries and without warrant
in the experience of nations older
than ours
The fact is England enforced the
most rigid protective legislation
known to history during a period of
four hundred years, and changed
her policy but forty years ago, when,
confronted with the fact that there
were more people on her little island
than could be fed, from its products,
she believed herself strong enough to
compel other nations to adopt a pol
icy which would make her the work
ship Of the world. In urging this
step Golden promised that in twenty
years all the leading nations of the
world would adopt a similar revenue
policy; but. despite the efforts to
that end of emissaries who have per-
sistently worked in colleges, in com
merce and through the press, Eng
land is to-day seemingly as far from
the fulfllment Of her ambition to
dictate the tariffs of other nations as
she was forty years ago. All the
other leading governments of the
world adhere to protection of the in
dustries Of their people, some of
them (notably Germany adding
largely to their import duties in re-
cent years.
While the overwhelming majority
of statesmen throughout the world
are thus indicating the wisdom of
protection by ENGRAVING it into the
laws of their governments, it is fash
ionable for theorists without knowl-

parents over their children; only when pa
rents fail to do their duty would it be right
for the State to interfere. On the other
hand, the opponents of the parochial schools
contend that children should be educated
under the supervision of the State, If neces-
sary against the wishes of the parents.
Here is the dividing line of the contest in
Massachusetts, and on this line many more
discussions may be expected In future years.
Under republican form Of government the
sure protection of the State Is the education
OF its citizens; and so soon as any portion OF
the American people become persuaded that
a foreign influence which they believe TO De
lukewarm or hostile to our methods OF gov
eminent or education is at work upon the
body of future citizens through private
schools. that moment the agitation for State
supervision will begin. Nothing could better
show the sensitiveness of the American peo
pie on this point than the present agitation
in Massachusetts. In the actual state OF
affairs Ia that State there Is no cause for the
agitation. The census Of 1885 shows that of
about $780, 900 school children Of that State
there were less than $4,000 in the parochial
schools Yet public opinion in Massachu-
sets has been deeply stirred for over two
years, not over the actual state OF affairs,
bnt over the appearance of a principle re-
garded by large portion of the people of
that State as hostile to the old principle
upon which the school system of America is
based, and from which republican institu-
tions have drawn their life and inspiration.
This agitation shows how well the public
school system has stood the test of time, how
thoroughly 1t Is approved in spite of the
criticism that has been heaped upon it, and
how quickly and certainly any encroach-
ment upon its operation is resented.
The Portland daily press., 1889-04-12

The exciting theme in Connecticut for a
fortnight past has been the fate of one Swift,
who was convicted by the courts and SEN
fenced to be hanged. Under the Connect
cut constitution the power to pardon or COM
mute sentences resides in the Legislature
Swift's crime admitted Of no palliation or
defense. He shot his wife deliberately in
the streets Of Hartford because she refused
to live with him. But his sister chung to
him, and determined If possible to save him
from the gallows. After exhausting all the
resources Of the courts she went to the Leg
islature and by personal appeals to members
succeeded in prevailing upon majority Of
both houses to vote for Communication of
his sentence to Imprisonment for life. The
Governor, however, vetoed the legislative
act. and the House failed to pass it over the
veto. The occurrence brings out in very
striking way the inlquity of the provision Of
the Connecticut constitution in relation to
pardons and Communication of sentences.
That the Legislature. open as it is to infiu-
ences of all kinds, should be permitted, as it
is by this provision, to overthrow the most
solemn work of the courts, is little less than
scandalous. OF course power to pardon
must be placed somewhere, but it should be
placed where it is likely to be least influ-
enced by prejudice or emotion. The Legisla-
ture from its very nature is peculiarly sus-
ceptible to such Influences.

Nathan F. Dixon. who has just been chos-
en- Senator from Rhode Island is native of
Westerly where he was born In 1S47. He is
the grandson Of the Senator of the same
name elected by the Wing party in 1888 and
for some lime President of the United States
Senate. The father of the Senator-elect,
also of the same name, was one Of the Gov
ernor's Council in the Dorr war, and served
five terms in Congress. The present Nathan
E. Dixon, graduated from the Brown Uni
versity in 1869, and from the Law School at
Albany in 1871, and settled for practice In
Westerly. In 1877 he was appointed Dis
trict Attorney OF the United States, and held
that Office until 1885. When Jonathan Chace
resigned his seat in Congress to take the
place as Senator vacated by the death Of
Henry b. Anthony. Dixon was elected to fill
the vacancy. and occupied it for the unex-
pired term. In 1886 Nathan F. Dixon was
again nominated for Congress by the Repub-
licans in the Western District. The late
Charles S. Bradley was the Democratic can
didate. and had plurality, but failed of a
majority. Another election was held in the
following November, Warren o. Arnold be-
ing the Republican candidate against Mr..
Bradley. Mr.. Arnold was elected. Since
1885 Mr.. Dixon has represented Westerly in
the State Senate.
