But Schwyz has Banished Tell.

Count Won Damethal of Unterwald
writes the NeoO York Tribune as follows
regarding the rumor that Switzerland
had ordered the name of William Tell
out of the school books: Switzerland
hasn't banshed Tell, but Schwyz has;
the canton Schwyz, little Schwyz, I'M
grateful Schwyz Where would Schwyz
be without William Tell? And where
is Schwyz, after all? Jealous of Uri,
no doubt, like another Minneapolis of
another ST. Paul, or the other way
round Uri, loyal Uri, where Tell was
born and lived, adventured and died;
Uri, whose orchards grew the apple,
whose forests furnished the bow and
even the very arrow or arrows Qor there
were two, you remember, the second of
them for the bad Gessler); steadfast
Uri bravely burned the Bernese pam
phlets that dared to hint contempt of
Tell. If these Schwyz acres are right
why hasn't Unterwald found it out?
Who knows but that man Gessler's de-
scendants may be living in Schwyz now
and may have put up the whole job?
1t would be just like them. And who
was Gessler? Why, can't even find
the name in Lippincott. Gessler must
have been name hastily assumed on
the spur of the moment to hide the
mscreant's identity. thank fortune,
sir, that | have not TO 90 to school in
Schwyz, whence all knowledge of Will
lam Tell, his son, his apple, his bow,
his arrows and his tyrant is henceforth
to be hidden from the rising boy"

-" One Mans Strnggle.V

OF Rev. G. w. Galagher's temperance
story, the Book Buyer, published by Charles
Scribner's Sons, says " Mr.. Gallagher has
told the story Of the gallant fight which
young clergyman, coming from parish in
a country town to a wealthy, conservative
church in a New England manufacturing
city, made against the rum traffic. He had
to battle against the indifference or open
hostility of the leading members of his
congregation, who looked upon the church
as an aristocratic social club, into which it
was impolitic to introduce a discussion of
disturbing questions like the suppression of
liquor-selling, and he found the city author
tiles and the police in sympathy with the
rum-shops, and the justices disincined to
intlict more than nominal penalties for vio-
lations of the law. Worn out and discour-
| aged by his labors, the Rev. Mr.. Barnes
| falls victim to heart disease, after having
driven the most influential men away from
! his church and failed to do more than make
a beginning in his crusade as a reformer.
! The author has drawn vivid and realistic
| picture of the obstacles that lie in the path
of the clergyman who seeks to arouse,
| soidify and make efficient public senti-
ment on this question, and incidentally he
| has filled in his background with some char
acter sketches of the personages who come
to the front in an agitation of this kind that
show close observation and keen sense of
humor No worker in the cause of temper
ance can fail to be interested in this book.
Funk & Wagnalls. 12mo. Price 81"
THE 81. JohnSbury Cdledonian says: " 1t
is the everyday story of principle versus
pride and position, social and political
The book shows what one man can do if
persevering and what might have been
done had he lived. Those who do not be-
lieve in preaching temperance will find
little to interest them in the book, while
others will appreciate the work, knowing
how hard it is to awaken public sentiment
and how steady the efforts must be. Lead
ing souls TO Christ is certainly a good and
sure way of dispelling the evil; but while
the church is gaining one the saloon gains
ten, and it is only by the hearty co-opera-
ton of the people in the community that it
can be avoided"
lions HERALD has this to say: "The
characters are skilfully drawn, the scenes
reveal the secret workings of society in the
heat of a struggle to enforce prohibition,
and human nature appears at its best and
worst in the midst of the cross currents OF
public opinion battling amidst the pages OF
the book. The great value of the book to
brethren in the ministry would be the
benefit of another mans experience in a
hand-to-hand fight with rum against great
odds, for it is pre-eminently 'one mans
struggle as most public issues with the
liquor traffic come at last to be in any com
munity. To the general reader the little
volume would be of interest from the fact
that Mr.. Gallagher is a graceful writer and
accomplished in the art of putting things

THE census returns for Vermont and
New Hampshire again emphasize the
peculiar difference in the political and
economic conditions of two states whose
climate and geography are so much
alike, and which are separated merely
by the Connecticut river. Yet the
Granite State has gained 10000 inhab-
itants the past decade, while Vermont
has barely held her own. This is per-
haps due to a greater increase in the
manufactures of New Hampshire, and
when those statistics are gathered and
arranged we shall know how far they
have gone to make the Granite State
more prosperous. This characteristic
was also exhibited in the case of the
abandoned FARMS" for New Hamp-
shire has disposed of nearly one-fourth
of hers during the year, while beyond
the establishment of three small Swedish
colonies, and the sale of small num-
Der, Vermont has not improved her
condition. The fact that New Hamp-
shire has the White Mountains can not
be the cause of it all.-SprinQfeld Re

Plaids, both large and small,
fairly overshadow all other

The colorings are copies of

These at SOC a yard are all

those at treble the price.
OF course they are not the

colors be of the same degree of
delicacy.
But " Ours " are remarkably
close in effect to the more am
bilious and more costly ones.
Every lady may not care to
pay s. a yard for her dress.
Many who could we'll afford to
do so would prefer a dress at
SOC a yard for many Of the
everyday uses. At the same
time they want something
along the line Of the prevailing
styles and following out APP

And so they look to US for
those selections in these low

months later. This was but another
Illustration of another method by
which the Standard Oil Company
used its influence over the railroads
to crush out its rivals. 1t compelled
the railroad companies to refuse to
ship oil for other producers, and when
complaint was made to President
Scott, Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
he said that all he could do was to
ask the STANDARD Company to allow
him to carry the oil over his own
road. The passage Of the inter state
commerce act has put an end to this
despotism over the railroad compan-
les, but the facts indicate the unlimi-
ted power of this trust. BY the eXer-
else of this absolute despOtism the
Standard Oil Company was enabled
to crush out all effective opposition.
Now its power Is not Less it is
merely turned into other directions.

Standard Oil Methods.

The Standard Oil Company is an.
other illustration showing the mod
ern facilities of gigantic combina-
tions. The company began in a part.
nership. during the early days of the
civil war. between Samuel Andrews
and John Rockefeller. Andrews
had invented new process by which
a greater percentage of Kerosene was
extracted from petroleum than had
been possible under the old method,
and by virtue of this advantage the
company soon became prosperous.
In time, as it gained strength. it alb.
sorbed some rival companies, crushed
others. and finally stood at the head
of the business. Then it extended
its operations still further. It ran its
own acid-works and glue factories.
made its own barrels, and controlled
the disposition of kerosene through
the country, Not satisfied with this,
it began to exercise a control over
the railroads, which finally enabled
it to crush out all effective opposition.
Vanderbilt once said that there was
but one man in the country who
could dictate to him, and that was
Rockefeller. The Pennsylvania rail-
road entered into a written contract
with the Standard Oil Company. by
which it agreed to charge double
rates for all oil haul, d by other ship
pers. When this contract was ex.
posed In the courts new agreement
was made by which the Standard
Company was allowed rebate not
only on the oil shipped by it, but on
all oil carried over the railroads.
During 1878 rebates to the amount of
$6,96O,840 were paid to the company,
Similar secret agreements were en-.
tered into with the New York Gen.
trail, the Erie and the Atlantic and
Great Western roads. A barrel of
oil weighing 800 pounds was carried
400 miles and the empty car returned
for SO cents, while 80 pound can of
milk was carried 60 miles for As cents.
On one occasion an opposition oil
company had 10000 barrels of oil car
ried by pipe line to the side of the
Erie track. the company having
agreed to ship the oil, but an agent
of the Standard Company appeared
on the scene, stopped the shipment,
and the oil was still waiting to be
shipped when the matter was inves.

This was most sensible thing to do.
There are personS who think upon
their wishes, their interests, and
their desires, but very rarely stop to
think candidly and honestly upon
their ways. They do not consider
whether their ways are right or
wrong, safe or dangerous. rash or
prudent. wise or foolish. They DO
not consider whether their ways lead
downward or upward, nor do they
candidly set themselves to think
what must he the outcome of the

is certainly dangerous, and the man
