THE IMPRAOTIoABLEs.

A few hundred third party Prohibi-
tionists who had up to that time been
Republicans, left their party in New
York in 1884 and voted for John p. ST.
John for president, thereby electing
Grover Cleveland, who never claimed to
be n temperance man and who derived
his principal support from the rum pow
err This is as certain and as much be-
yond dispute as that two and two are
four. Grover Cleveland as President,
filled two vacancies upon the Supreme
Bench by the appointment of two radical
State rights Democrats, the rebel Lamar
of Mississippi and Fuller of Illinois
These two judges held the balance of
power when the original package case
came up and practically rendered the de-
cision which tore out the heart of not only
every prohibitory law and constitutional
amendment, but every license and 9TH
er law which had been passed by the
States for the restriction or regulation of
the liquor traffic. Soon after President
Harrison was inaugurated, he filed a va
cancy upon the Supreme Bench by the
appointment of Judge Brewer of Kansas
City, whose confirmation the Prohibi-
tionists bitterly opposed because he did
not belong to their set; but when
the package case was reached
Judge Brewer was found with the minor
ity that signed the dissenting opinion.
The Prohibitionists who voted against
Blaine in New York in 1884 voted against
Harrison in 1888, and thereby did what
they could to re-elect Cleveland. If they
had succeeded another State rights DEM
ocrat would have had the place Judge
Brewer has, and there would have been
seven votes instead of six for the doc
trine that State cannot abolish or re-
strict the sale of liquor in original pack
ages. If the members of any party are
ever responsible for the results of their
voting, the Prohibitionists must be held
responsible for the decision in the origi-
nal package case; and they cannot plead
that they were cheated or in any way de-
ceiyed, for Cleveland did nothing in this
matter which he was not pledged and ex-
pected to do, nothing which he could
have refused to do without being open to
the charge of treachery to his party.
Still, it will notdo, we suppose, to charge
these people with hypocrisy. They are
simply impracticable; they "vote their
convictions and leave consequences to
God" They vote ticket headed 'No
Rum" though they know the conse-
quence will be free rum. This is what
they have always been doing, but it is
not often that they are able to bring
about so much that they claim to be
fighting against as they have in the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland in 1SS4.-Mil-

hasty grasp and a running broad jump
for the window. d
1t smelled like it, it looked like it, it
was-whiskey!
As the elder surveyed his ruefully
dripping countenance in the mirror and
fumbled at his dark hair, the horrible
sensation of being obt'usively and dis
tinctiyely rummy, stole over him. The
proprietor of the hotel was summoned in
a hurry and learned of the matter.
Bystanders say that he rushed out of
the room down stairs, jumped across two
tables in the dining room and rolled all
over the stable hay NOW before he got
the upper hands Of his wicked hilarity.
Several days before he had secreted a
gallon of whiskey, intended for illegal
sale, in an unoccupied room, filling the
water ever. The clerk assigned the
clergyman to the room and, unaware of
the presence of the whiskey, had not re-
moved it.
How to remove the scent of the wills
key from the victimized elder was the
next problem. He washed and scrubbed /;
soaked and perspired but he was still
surrounded by an odor not that of sane
tity. Cologne and hair oil from the clerk
and deodorizer from neighbOring drug
store were used with fair degree of sue
cess. Nevertheless the staggering COM
plexity of smells that hung about the
presiding elder that Sunday must have
astonished the stewards. .II
1t is safe to say that the good man will
not patronize that hotel again. -BdRgor

now CONDUCTOR BAILEY SAVED THE
TRAIN

The death of Conductor Bailey at East
Barnet Sunday recalls to mind the hero
ism of this man in the first serious acct
dent upon the Passumpsic road after it
was opened to this place in 1850. During
a severe freshet the last days of October
1851, long freight train left the juno
ton for st. Johnsbury, with Horace But
terrified, as engineer; Benjamin Thomas,
fireman; G.. w. Boyce, conductor, and
Samuel Bailey, brakeman. When near
North Thetford, in the storm and dark
ness, the engine plunged into a washout-
out culvert and many cars following were
piled upon it. Both engineer and fire
man were pinned down in their cab,
by the tender and freight cars which fol-
lowed. They could not be reached by
help, but Engineer Butterfield conversed
with those who would gladly have re-
lieved him if they could have done so.
He told them that Thomas was dead at
his side, that he was himself pinned
alongside the boiler with his legs pressed
against the fire-box. He cOnyersed ra-
tiOnally and gave directions about letting
off the steam, etc. The torrent was con
stantly undermining the engine and in
about an hour it settled down and But
terfield's voice was heard no more.
near noon the next day. Butterfield was
unmarried, but Thomas left wife and
young child in this place. When the
crash came, both Boyce and Bailey were
upon the top of the cars. They ran fOl
the rear and for their lives. Fortunately
they both escaped. With that instinct
born in a railroad man their first thought
was to protect the rear, The evening ex
press was due in few minutes. Tn,

THE YOUNGEST GREAT-GRAND-
MOTHER.

A great-grandmother forty-eight years
of age has been found in California. She
is Mrs. o. II. Smith and lives at San
Bernardino, Cal. Her family went to
California from Sussex County, N j.
She was born in 1912 and was married at
fourteen to Albert Cole. She had six
children before her twenty-fOur year.
Her husband was killed by Mormons,
leaving her q widow at twenty-five, and
she subsequently married o. II. Smith,
who is still living Her eldest child, a
daughter, married in her sixteenth year,
when she is said to have been fully de-
veloped and very beautiful. She became
Mrs. Pendergast. A daughter was born
to her the following year, making Mrs.
Smith a grandmother at thirty-two.
This daughter followed the habits of her
family of marrying early, and at the age
of fifteen became Mrs. Cunuco, the wife
of wealthy Spaniard. A son, the rep
resentative of the fifth generation now
living, is now fourteen months old, and
rules the entire house, from the great
grandmother of forty-eight down. This
extraordinary record is perhaps unparal-
leled i'll the temperate zone.

SWEDISH SETTLERS.

Twenty-seven Swedish families, includ-
ing sixty persons, have arrived in Yer
mont and located upon the abandoned
farms in Wilmington, Weston and Yer
shire. Arrangements have also been
made for the reception of $50 others, who
will be similarly placed. These people
are like nearly all Swedish immigrants,
sturdy, industrious and frugal, types of
the class that has settled whole counties
in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
and some other sections of the North
west. They are natural farmers: they
like Northern latitude and wooded,
billy country, and have in them, we be-
lieve, all the qualities essential to success
in New England agriculture. We think
they more resemble the hardy race that
first subdued the forests of Northern New
England and for century made farming
pay in this locality more than any other
class of immigrants that come to this
country now, and we may add that they
are more like our original settlers than
the Yankees who occupy farms here.
They will not get rich very fast; they
will spend little money for luxuries (;
they will probably farm in somewhat
pritive ways, and he who visits them will
probably find the women doing about as
much work in the fields as the men; but
they will get enough to eat, to drink and
wear, will educate their children, attend
Lutheran church regularly, live orderly
and peaceable lives, and by strict saving
lay by something every year with which
to pay what they owe or add to their
holdings. ........ q. .r
Again, they will, we believe, get along
better than those of their countrymen
who have settled in the Northwest, In
the first place, they will hold their farms
at much less price than the Western
settler holds his. They will pay lower
rates of interest on what they owe and
no higher taxes, and for what they have
to sell they will find q better market.
Measured by the standard of living and
of progress which the descendants of the
Puritans have set up in these later days,
they may not prosper very much, but by
their own which they have brought with
them from the old country they will sue
coed, and Vermont is to be congratulated
on their coming. We wish there were
ten thousand of the same class upon the
farms in the State which are now with
out occupants.-COncord Monitor. DO.
