Knocked Them in Again

During the civil war MIR. Charles
Ness, of Searsmont, was a member
of Maine regiment. VI lille in
the south he had bad fall striking
the back of his head heavily on the
ground. 1t left linn partially
blind and for nearly twenty-five
years he has been in the same con-
dition. While he could see some
what, yet he was unable to read.
Recently Mr.. Ness fell while car
rylng pail of milk into the house
and struck the back OF bis head
heavily on the ice. Strange to say,
his eyeSight has been restored and
he can see to read as well as before

All of which reminds us OF the
old nursery song:
There was man in our town
And he was wondrous wise:
He jumped into bramble bush
And scratched out both his eyes
And when he found his eyes were
out,
With all his might and main,
lie jumped into another oush

But never marred his manhood nor has he
But scorn or pity for the mean and base,
For cant of demagogue or Pharisee-
And while he keeps his nobleness of soul
Through all the bitter trials ne has passed
I feel ashamed to note my lesser griefs
That seem so little and his own vast.

A BIG RAILROAD ALLIANCE.

Information begins to crystalline
about the Gould movement on the
western railroads. 1t seems that
Gould has managed, with the assis
tance of the Rockefellers of the
Standard Oil company in securing
practical control of several of the
big lines of the West and Southwest,
without buying large quantity of
the stock. The roads included in
this alliance are Richmond Terminal,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Missouri Pacific, AtchiSOn, Wabash,
Kansas and Texas, Texas Pacific
and possibly some others, with the
Pacific Mail Steamship company.
Steps are taken to crowd into gen
eral agreement the Burlington. Rock
Island, and Alton roads, and it is
rumOred that the Northern Pacific
has passed or will pass into the
hands of the combina ton and that
Wizards control of that road will
come to an end. Charles Francis
Adams has resigned from the
presidency and directorate of the
Union Pacific. Sidney Dillon sue
ceeds him as president and Jay
Gould and Russell Sage go on
to the directory. The retirement
Of President Adams is regretted
as the road has been managed by
him with an honest purpose, at
least, Il distinction it had not Ell
joyed before for some time. While
under Gould's control. before Adams
stepped in, the road was almost
wrecked and it has been gradually
regaining value under Adams direct
and businessIike guidance. Now
Gould is glad to get it back.
Whether the stockholders will have
equal cause for satisfaction remains
to be seen. Gould declares that his
object is to bring all the great trans
continental lines together and stop
and other inharmonious
rivalries.

THE FARMERS, REVOLT.

The farmers of Vermont are preparing
for a political revolt which will be more
astonishing in its way than the revolu-
ton in many other republican states on
Nov f. Vermont did not vote on that
dav, but if she had she would have cut a
prominent figure in the great upheaval.
The farmers of the state, long dIsconten-
ted over their waning fortunes, now
have a genuine public grievance and they
propose to secure the granting of their
demands or to smash things in the at
tempt They demand the proper dis
position of the annual bounty. amount
ing to about $50, 900 granted to the
state by the federal government for agri-
cultural purposes.
For many wears all the grants of this
description for education i'll agricultural
matters and for an experiment station
have been used by the University of Yer
mont, which has used the money almost
exclusively for general educational pur-
poses and not for that for which 1t was
intended. The farmers now demand the
establishment of a state Agricultural
and Mechanical College, which shall re-
ceive all the awards of this nature made
by the government A bill providing for
the esta blishment of such an institution
is now before the Legislature where it is
being hotIv contested. The old univer-
sity is fighting it desperately and all the
politicians in the state are more or less
involved III the controversy. The far
mers are thoroughly aroused. They
have pushed rapidly the organization of
the Farmers League, the new farmers
political organization, throughout the
state during the past few months. Ten
days ago they completed the organiza-
ton OF state league and the delegates
met several hundred strong in this city.
They chose E. p. Cotton of Irasburgh,
president and o. +. Stone of Charlotte
secretary.
While their meeting was in session they
learned that United States Senator Nor
rill was speaking before the Senate com
mittee at the State House in opposition
to their bill. They got brass band and
marched to the State House to demand
the enactment of their measure and
made big demonstration there.
The House of Representatives is over
whelmingly with the farmers and it
passed the bill two or three days ago
by big majority. 1t is III the Senate
that the fight is to be made. Vermont's
big republican majOrities made up
entirely of farmers. If they are beaten
in this fight their revenge will be relent-
less and overwhelming. Already there
has taken place a wonderful change III
political sentiment among them and
party allegiance binds them with ties SO
light that they might easily be swept
away. The contagion OF political revolt
which has swept over the farmers of the
country has become epidemic in Yer
mont Montpelier Correspondence of
New York Sun.

that the department would await

PRIESTS Tn POLITICS.
Their Conduct at North Kilkenny
Surpasses Belief.
ACCORDING TO Mr.. PARNELL.

the Nickel Tragedy.

DUBLIN, Dec. 25.-In an interview today
before his departure, Parnell said: ''Being
aware Of the condition we had to fight in
Kilkenny, knew the carrying of the seat
was almost hopeless; never expected TO
win. The pressure brought to bear upon
the masses of the people, who would have
voted for US had they been left to exercise
their own Judgment without intimidation,
was undreamed of. Was it kind for a
priest to hold over his flock threats of spir-
itual penalties! It is serious matter GER
tainly. Interference with the liberty of an
elector cannot be tolerated. This is not
all. Cases occurred, of which there is the
fullest proof, that threats of personal VIC
lence were used. 1t is remarkable and
encouraging fact that in districts where
the people were not coerced by
the priests, we had polled 80 per
cent. of the votes. l wished to
penetrate the district around Castle Conner
but was prevented by fear of bloodshed.
Scully is strong Catholic, but he sees
clearly that if the priests are permitted
similarly to influence the coming elections
Ireland will be lost. TIE general elections
are not far distant, and | shall push for
ward preparatory for them"
what view do you hold of the prospects
of the different parties.'
To this question Parnell replied: ''Should
a dissolution occur soon Gladstone will
have very little chance of returning. AS
to my position, time is on my side.n

Paddock on the Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The Post to-mor-
row viii say: Senator Paddock, of Ne
brsska, was in earnest when he warned the
Senate few Gays ago that he would soon
move lay aside the election bill and take
up the pure food bill, and he will before
long again take occasion to renew his
warning. He will first give his party,
however, ampls opportunity either to pass
the election bill or conclude to lay it aside.
In this connection, it may be interesting to
state that Paddock has been misQuoted from
the beginning in regard to his position on
this bill. a dispatch originally sent from
here describes an interview alleged to have
taken place between the President and Sen
ator, in which the former is said to have
upbraided the latter for not supporting the
bill. 'Theinterview thus picturesquely re-
lated not only never occurred said Pad
dock, but the President never mentioned
either the election bill or tariff bill to ne.
have never said I would not vote
for the election bill" continued the Sena-
tor, although / have been quoted as say
lag so. The truth is that there is nothing
IN the provisions Of the bill Objectionable
to me. My position is in regard TO consid-
CA0lAOl u llo Dlil dI OIlS LlEl6 II Is unWlSS.
] think it would be better to discuss
and pass a financial measure. The
election bill is purely political, in
which only slight portion
OF the Republicans in the country are in
terested while financial legislation vitality
concerns all business men and is sadly
needed Certainly this is the situation IN
Nebraska. l have not yet received single
letter from my state either for or against
the election bill, which is sure indication
OF q lack OF interest in it. Another thing
against the election bill is that it is re-
gsrded with suspicion that may not be well
founded, but which certainly is operating
TO disturb the business relations between
the north and south"
The Post also says that there is at
present an Interesting point of difference
between Senators Eomunds and Hoar reg
u!ating the future programme in the Senate
Eamunds believes it would be perfectly
right and proper for the presiding officer of
the Senate to refuse to recognize MINOR
lily Senator and thus bring the election bill
TO a vote.
Senator Hoar and others do not go this
far, but claim the presiding officer has
power to bring to q close any filibustering
proceedings which have for their object the
defeat of a rule. They assert that forcible
measures in this case would be constitu-
tlonal because the constitution gives each
house the right to determine each rule.
This distiction between cloture for a bill
and cloture for rule is fine one and has
not been commented upon.
