the famous combination was formed. But
first the lower French courts and now the
final judicial authority have declared that
the contracts in question are null and void
and cannot be enforced by law because
they were illegal as being contrary to pub
lie policy.
Russia has good deal of police work to
attend to. She keeps four police brigades
to watch the nihilists outside of that coun-
try, at Berlin, Paris, London and Zurich.
The Russian consul general at Berlin is the
chief of this organization. He has about
thirty detectives under him in each of
these cities. The ambassadors have moth
ing to do with this body. They keep, be-
sides this, paid spies in the high and high
est circles of society, counts and princes,
who watch closely all the social and
political movements, and are maintained
in lavish expenditure, and number of
''job spies," who receive pay for informa-

A Christmas Prayer

Lord, for the lonely heart
pray apart.
Now, for the son of sorrow
Whom this tomorrow
Rejoiceth not, o Lord,
Hear my weak word,
For lives too bitter to be borne,
For the tempted and the torn.
For the prisoner in the cell,
For the shame lip doth not tell,
For the haggard suicide,
Peace, peace, this Coristmastide.
Into the desert, trod
By the long sick, o God;
Into the patient gloom
OF that sad room
Where lies the child Of pain
OF all neglected most-be fain
To enter, healing, and remain.
Now, at e,fan of day,
Ibow and pray.
For those who cannot sleep
A watch keep.
oh, let the starving brain
Be fed, and fed again;
At thy behest
The tortured nerve find rest.
i see the vacant chair.
Father Of souls, prepare
My poor thoughts power
To plead this hour:
For the empty, aching home
Where the silent footsteps come,
Where the unseen face looks on,
Where the hand-clasp is not felt,
Where the dearest eyes are gone,
Where the portrait on the wall
Stirs and struggles as to speak.
Where the light breath from the hall
Calls the color to the cheek,
Where the voice breaks in the hymn
When the sunset burneth dim,
Where the late, large tear will start,
Frozen by the broken heart,
Where the lesson is to learn
How to live, to grieve, to yearn.
How to bear, and how to bow,
oh, the Christmas that is fled.
Lord of living and of dead,
Comfort thou!

WOMAN,S GLORY

MOST every woman can have a nice, clean
VNl looking complexion, even though not
called beautiful. Many ladies are called careless
because their skin looks muddy blotched.
What is the cause Nature Why: Because
Nature rs her own doctor. The system cannot
thrive when filed with all sorts of poisonous
substances. Then Nature asserts herself and
throws it of. Why do the eruptions and discol-
orations appear on the face and not on the bodyY
Because the face has no assistant, and instead of
throwing off is added to. Ladies, by constant
use OF powders and different cosmetics, have
filed the pores OF the face until ventilation
such as is caused by perspiretion in the body-is
entirely closed. The poisonous matter, unable
to exude, lies congested underneath the surface
This causes eruptions, commonly called eczema,
salt rheum, psoriasis, etc. Is there no way to
open these channels for throwing this OUT Yes,
by opening the pores. This is quickly done by
cutting with mild astringent the cuticle OF cal
lous Gaping Of the skin. Is it injurious No, it
cannot be, for it does not penetrate into the
true skin. Is it injurious TO rub of the caloused
skin-entirely dead-from the sole of the foot
There is no life to this cuticle. Does it injure
tree to trim the dead branches So, then, don't
fear to use Mime. A. Ruppert's Face Bleach 1t
is q tonic-no cosmetic. It has been tried, con-
vincing in its every effort, does not show in the
face nor destroy healthy color.

dress for price. So per bottle three bottles Cusu

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is reported that the natural gas wells
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana are
showing signs of diminishing supplies, and
there is a good reason for believing that it
cannot much longer be depended on.

Birchall the murderer, has married her

A Democrat Retained.

President Harrison has taken the
responsibility to relieve the Vermont
delegation in congress of trouble or
blame in regard to the Brattleboro
post-offfce. The office was in the
hands of Fred Childs, an appointee
of President Cleveland. He is a very
popular and efficient postmaster, and
when his removal was asked on po-
litical grounds a very large petition
from republicans was presented to the
department in favor of his retention
of the office. Col. Hooker and some
others made vigorous protest. and
finally Gen. Grout ordered caucus
to be held. The vote resulted in ia
vor of the democratic incumbent, and
Gen. Grout is supposed to have fa-
voted the immediate re-appointment
of Childs. Col. Hooker and dele
cation of friends went to Washing
ton and made such a hurrah that
Gen. Grout permitted the matter to
go to President Harrison, as a special,
if not tough case to decide. The
president settled it in favor of Childs.
We think he has not only done a just
thing, but wise one. The worth OF
postmasters and many other officials
is in doing we'll what they have to do
and when a man is found to be spec.
tally fit in character, skill and efficien
! for a work, it is not best to inquire
too particularly into his politics
There is probably not enough that il
bad in this mans politics to harm thC
best republicans in Brattleboro.

the statements concerning the suffer-
ing and destitution existing among
the pioneer settlers of North and
South Dakota, with view of aiding
those in need of help. She has ascer-
tanned there is urgent necessity for
immediate action, and now appeals to
the. public for cash subscriptions
large enough to meet every emer-
gency. She has information that there
are at least 500 people dependent and
many more who, though they have
provisions for themselves. need food

commissioner of agriculture, Grand
Forks, North Dakota, will distribute
all funds sent to his address.

Well Answered.

The farmers Of the West are burn
ing their corn for fuel in the absence
of that esHome Market of which we
hear so much. The woolen manufac-
turers of the East are closing their
mills because the tariff on wool pre-
vents their sending their surplus pro-
duction to foreign markets. This is
protection - with a vengeance at
both ends of the line.-PhilGdeIphiG
Record.
Corn is burned because (1) of last
years phenomenal crop; (2) lack of
cheap transportation to distant mar
kets; (3) want of manufacturing
towns near by; (4) inability of free
trade England to purchase, one-fifth
of the population having become pau
pers Some of our wooden mills are
closed because (D leaders of fashion
/ (some of whom are paid by foreign
manufacturers)E Ehave created an opin-
/ ion that American woolens are not fit
for real gentlemen to wear; (2) they
were deprived of their home market
by the importation last year of $52.-
594 ,942 worth of woolen goods: (3)
the purchasing power Of our people
was impaired by foreign competition
in their several industries to the ex-
tent of S4SS, ,644,57 of dutiable mer
chandise, and (4) the markets of the

E PIuribus Unum.

Nothing else puzzles foreigners so
much, when they attempt to study
our institutions and national charac-
teristics as the homogeneity that ex-
lists throughout the length and breadth
of the land. There is nothing like it
in Europe, no instance of a single
government that embraces so great q
population or anything near so wide
an expanse of territory yet holds all
in one without friction. In Europe
NAV be found here and there, an ag-
glomeration of distinct peoples in a
single monarchy, affording some an
alogy to the Union of American
States. But there adhesion is with
out cohesion. Austria-Hungary sup
plies one illustration and Russia an
other. Each country is composite,
but the human materials of which
each is composed are heterogeneous.
There are differences of race, of re-
lieion, of language, of manners and
social customs, of history, of hopes
and fears, affections and antipathies
which always produce weakness and
always threaten revolution. The Ger
man empire was created by Bismarck,
and there are many who, not absurd
ly, question whether, in its present
form, it can long survive him. The
Omitted Kingdom" of Great Britain
and Ireland was never yet united by
anything but the chains of tyranny
and a large section Of the inhabitants
of the larger island are confident that
disunion must follow if any less Wig
orous bonds are substituted.
Therefore, when foreigners con-
template the phenomenon presented
by the United States of America they
at first took it for granted that local
iealousies and sectional clashings of
interests abound. A ludicrous exam
pie of this prevalent idea was fur
nished by the London STANDARD when
the bill was passed through congress
for passing the four new states of
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
ington and Montana. That organ of
British conservative opinion express
ed some doubt whether the American
Union could long stand the strain of
absorbing SO many new common
wealths filled with alien populations
The idea seemed to be that Montana,
for instance, was different from Mass
achusetts as Belgium is from France
The prospect of an international
exhibition to be held in Chicago gives
this subject peculiar interest at the
present time. There is no doubt that
if the western metropolis is finally
awarded the prize, all sections of the
country will, after some first irrIta-
tions of disappointment are over,
heartily join in making the affair a
success. Boston, New York, St.
Louis, New Orleans and San Francis
co will vie with Chicago in showing
the civilized world that the glory OF
one is the honor of all.

Commissioner Valentine says that
Mr.. Nordgren has been successful in
completing arrangements for the i'm
migration of from % to 80 families
of Swedes to Vermont. These fami-
lies average about five members each
and the total number Of this party
will exceed 100. They expect to
leave Sweden April /, and to arrive
in Vermont April 10. The company
will be divided into three small colo
nies, one of which will probably be
located in Windham county, another
in Windsor county and the third IN
Orange. They are representatives of
the best class Of Swedish immigrants.
The commissioner found the citi-
zens of Vershire thoroughly in ear
nest regarding the proposed colonial
tion scheme, and arrangements were
completed for settling a dozen Swed-
ish families in that place this spring.
The Citizens Committee offer the
new settlers a dozen farms at from
80 to 100 acres each at prices rang
ing from 81 to So per acre, and also
agree to loan s25 in cash, and fur
nish COW for stipulated period to
each family. The farms in question
contain good buildings and sugar or
chards, and the soil is of a product
i've character.

Death of G. M. Stone.

Brother French of the BrdttlebOro
Phonir has the following obituary
notice on the death of Mr.. Stone,
which is so true and so expresses our
sentiments, that we use it in place Of
anything of our own:
c. M. Stone, the editor of the ST. Johns
bury Caled0nian, died on Wednesday
morning at Jacksonville, Florida, where
he had gone with his wife and party Of
st. Johnsbury friends for q. few weeks
rest. The announcement of his death
was entirely unexpected, and it caused
painful shock to all who knew him, and
- l. to his friends in the newspaper
Ve., mt. The cause was
congesUIon of the lungs.
Mr. Stone was, in the fullest sense of
the term, a self made man. Without ear
ly advantages Of any kind, and beginning
as printers apprentice at the age of
only Is years, he grew up the moral force
of his own steadfast and answering per-
sonalty, to make for himself one of the
most honorable places ever held by any
man in the editorial ranks in Vermont.
He began his apprenticeship in the Gaze
dOnidR office in 1848, and never left that
office In 1855 he became part owner
of the paper, and two yeaas later became
sole owner. This ownership he retained
until Jan. l, 1889, when his elder son,
Arthur F. Stone, came to a half-intereSt
in the concern. Mr.. Stone was mar
ried in May, 1858, to Sarah Fairbanks,
daughter of the late eX-Gov. Erastus Fair
banks of st. Johnsbury. Four children
were born to them, three of whom sur
vive-Mary E., Arthur F. and Phillip H.
As man in public life Mr.. Stones most
notable characteristics were his strength
of personal conviction, his intolerance of
whatever seemed to him to be wrong,
and his independence and fearlessneSS in
uphOlding whatever he believed to be
right. His religious life was one of rare
sincerity and earnestness. His temper
ance principles were of the most uncom-
promising kind, and in the social, benev-
olent and uplifting work of a community
notable for it's organized efforts in these
directions the influence of Mr.. Stone and
his wife have always been strongly felt.
He was a vigorous and graceful writer,
not given to long discussions, but max
ing concise and pointed everything that
left his pen. He made the CdZedonidn as
clean in all its contents, its advertise
ments included as in print and makeup,
and for a score of years his fellow crafts
men have pointed to it with pride as the
one model and typical Vermont news
paper.
Mr.. Stones qualities were not those
which conspire to popularity in the usual
sense of that term, but those who differed
from him most widely acknowledged their
high respect for him, and testified to his
unbending honesty, sincerity and integ-
rIty.
1t is fortunate for the press of the state
that the CaledORidn is left in the hands
of a son of its longtime owner, who in
herits his fathers high aims and convic-
tions, already well trained in newspaper
work in the home field, and who will
faithfully and ably maintain the papers
| traditions, and its onward-looking meth
DDS and principles.

War Mutterings and Preparations.

While Kaiser Wilhelm, through
social and labor congress, seeks to
pacify the masses of Germany and of
Europe generally, there are in other
directions murmurings and mutter
ings suggestive Of war. Russia is al
ready making preparations for a
grand display in the summer in her
western province Of Volhynia, a pro-
vince which, in times gone by,
formed prat of the Sarmatian terri
tory, and which borders now, on the
west, on what is still called the king
dom of Poland. In the maneuvers
which are to take place two hundred
and fifty battalions of the Russian
army will be present and take part.
Suspicion attaches to the scene of
the military demonstration, because
of its proximity to the German and
Austrian frontiers. Pointing in the
same direction and similarly sugges-
tive was the threat made by the Pole,
Herr yon Szmula, in the Prussian
Diet yesterday. Germany must stand
by the Poles and treat them fairly,
if they did not wish to force an up
Using, and the restoration of the
Polish kingdom. 1t would be impos-
sible for Germany to annex the Bal
I tic provinces until she had secured
! her own.

for gubernatorial honOrs. This sug-
gestion brings to mind many and hap
py memories. Our first parish, Hyde

fees are gratefully recalled. He is
connected with one of the most rep

sagacious, alert, successful. AS a

The people of Vermont, and New
Englanders generally, will be pleased
to learn that Redfeld Proctor, secre-
tary of war, is held by many to have
achieved as much substantial success
in his work as any other member of
President Harrison cabinet. 1t was
not expected that the ex-governor
of Vermont would develop along orig
inal lines-as Mr.. Whitney had both
the capacity and opportunity to do in
the navy department of the last cabi-
net, and as General Tracy has sought
to do in this one-but for efficient
administrative work. involving good
sense and rapid, methodical execu-
ton, Secetary Proctor has made his
mark. His sense of justice enables
him to take up the cause of the pri-
vate soldier at times against petty tv-
ranny on the part of his superiors.
but he as well commands the respect
and confidence of that rather critica
and exclusive class, the officers OF
the army. The new secetary's reputa
tion has been earned by the exercis,
of a prompt, practical judgment
which contrasts favorably with tn,
more leisurely habits and jndicia
temperament of ex-Secretary Endi
colt, and the result of the change i
such a dispatch of business as bette
serves the need of the war departmen
and more abundantly satisfies every
body,
