The case created a great deal of ex-
citement and indignation in this commun-
ity Hunt is "A young man against whom
until this time nothing i'll had been
known. He set himself up i'm the tailor
business some months since and was ap.
parently doing a paving business. Dur
ing the past winter his wife has been
very i'll and low with what is supposed to
be consumption. ne lived i'm one of Mr.
Twombly's tenements, a few rods from
his residence, and the families became
friendly and intimate. Mr.. Twombly's
two daughters, fourteen and sixteen years
of age were frequent visitors of the Hunts.
1t seems that by some devilish influences
Hunt beguiled the eldest girl with the re-
suits here recorded. The matter has
brought great distress into the families
on both sides, and is a scandal such as
we hope may not again occur i'm this
community. Hunt will be taken before
the grand jury at the next term of court,
and, if indicted for any one of several
offences, will be likely to spend some
years where he will be able to bring dis
grace into no more respectable families.

The Irish people can do more to
prove that they are capable of self
government, and worthy of home
rule, by holding one orderly election,
than by any amount of face-smash-
ing or lime-throwing. The only peo-
pie, who are pleased with the present
state of affairs in Ireland are the
British Tories who believe that Ire
land is not fit for home rule, and who
point to such incidents as are now
occurring for indubitable proof of
the correctness of their position.

No GOLD BARS FOR SHIPMENT
Secretary Foster has always had the
reputation of knowing a good thing
when he sees it. He knows gold to
be a good thing and he proposes to
keep it in this country by exercising
his prerogative of refusing gold bars
for gold coin for expectation. This
is the first time since 1882 that the
United States Government has re-
fused to furnish gold bars for ship
ment. In that year certain banking
firms wanted to exchange gold coin
for gold bars, but the Treasury De-
partment declined to allow the bar
to leave the country. So that Secre-
tary Foster has q well established
precedent in the matter. In this ac-
ton the Treasury Department is
simply following the course long pur-
sued by the Bank of England. In
other words; ''What is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander." :"

Following close on the death of
General Sherman comes that of Gen
eral Joseph E. Johnston, who was
an intimate friend of Sherman, and
was one the pall-bearers at the lat
ter's funeral. General Johnston died
at his home in Washington March 21,
at the age of eighty-four years. An
affection of the heart was aggrava-
ted by cold, and his great age
caused him to succumb easily to the
attack. Johnston was one of the
great generals of the Confederacy,
and, ne had not fought under Jeffer-
son Davis suspicion that he was a
traitor, he would probably have met

The bureau of American repullcs
is pushing its work of improving the
trade relations of the countries COM
prislng it in extremely sensible and
practical fashion. The visit of Mr..
w. E. Curtis, its director, to New
England the past week, when he
made addresses in Boston and Provi-
dence, has emphasized this. His
speeches have been crowded with the
clearest business information, the de-
tails of business opportunities and
the methods required in entering the
new field-put in simply and lucidly.
He collates and distributes the exact
figures in business history, old tariffs
and new arrangements in nutshell,
presenting what is most in demand
now and what no book contains. The
table he put before the Providence
Commercial Club is a striking in
stance. 1t is trade news Of the most
important class.

Senator Henderson isn't in any
doubt about the head of the republi-
can ticket next year. He says: 81
think Mr.. Harrison will run again,
and in that event Mr.. Blaine, now
his chief cabinet adviser, will not OPP
pose him. A man who has tasted of
presidential sweets usually asks, like
Oliver Twist, for more, and for that
reason l think the campaign of 1892
will closely resemble that of 1888,
with Mr.. Harrison, and Mr.. Cleve
and as opposing candidates.

The president has made public his
opinion of the results accomplished
by the 51st congress in words that
have a manly ring about them. He
endorses every important act of that
body and thinks it is about time to
relegate the apologists of the Repub-
lican party to the rear and to push
the aggressive policy of the party to
the front. That's just the right sort
of talk. All of the victories of the
party have been by aggressiveness,
and by that alone can the party win
next year.

Faster and More of Them.

People who read that immigration
from Germany and Great Britain is
decreasing should not allow them
selves to be mised into the belief
that immigration as a whole is grow
ing less. Unfortunately this is not
the fact. The chief points of en-
barkation only are changed. Former
ly Germany or Ireland furnished US
the most immigrants; now it is Italy.
To one who is more or less CONVEX
SAINT with immigration figures for the
last few years, it is startling to learn
that last week was signalized by the
largest number of arrivals of immi-
grants ever known in single week
at the port of New York. Twelve
steamers landed no less than 1928
steerage passengers at the Barge Of
fee, against 4 1899 for the correspond
ing week last year. One-third Of the
whole landed last week were Italians
two-fifths were Hungarians, Russians
and Hebrews, while the remainder
were Irish, German, English and
French
After the present week the new
laws restricting immigration will be
in operation, and will greatly reduce
the number of undesirable immi-
grants. The laws will regulate i'm
migration in a healthful manner. 1t
is not immigration that should be
prohibited, but the entering of vicious
and worthless immigrants. There is
certain class of immigrants who are
welcome. Doubtless every European
country could send people who would
be as welcome as the Swedes invaria-
bly, are. We want no anarchists,
thieves and paupers, but honest,
sober and industrious workmen.
Senator Edmunds is affording well
come material for newspaper gossip
by his alleged determination to resign
his seat in the senate. One day it is
stated that Secretary Proctor will
take his place. The next day that
report is discredited, and then the
senator is alleged to be waiting for
Justice Bradley's place in the supreme
court. He is enjoying the discussion
and the compliments it calls out. The
senator is a very reticent man.

thereby becomes chargeable with his sup

Governor Page is endeavoring to
ascertain public sentiment as to the
advisability of an extra session of
the legislature to accept the direct
tax to be refunded to Vermont by the
act of congress just adjourned. The
sum the state is to receive in due
time is about S179, 900. The income
from this can not be figured at over
four per cent. There is small possi-
bility that the Legislature can be con-
vened and adjourned for less than
10000, but there is great probabili-
ty that twice, or thrice, that amount
might be exhausted before the Iegis-
tors would have fully enjoyed their
reunion. All things considered, it
will be a safer investment for the
stale to leave the direct tax in the
national treasury another year.
Doubtless some of the legislators are
aching for the little junket an extra
session would afford at the expense
of the state, but the people can get
along very we'll without the luxury.

From March, 1885, to March, 1887,
the first two years of the first Dem
ocratic administration in twenty four
years, Sal, ,536, 800 was paid on the
public debt. This was Grover Cleve-
lands record. From March, 1889,
to March 1891, the first two years of
the present Republican administra-
ton, the public debt was reduced by
s265, 100000. Comparisons are
odious, but in this instance the COM
parison in favor of Benjamin Harri-

it can be paid over. Vermont's
share being about s17O,O 900 the inter

In these days of McKinleyism Labor
Commissioner PICKS annual report, of
which advance sheets have come to
hand, is interesting.
He reports Investigations OF 6,25s
strikes during the year, of which 5,433
were ''settled by Cancellation with la
Dor organizations" and 464 were aban-
doned. In the case OF 1874 wages
increased, and that Of 3.746 there was
no change, and in that of AL there was
decrease. In 2,Os5 instances there
was a reduction In the hours Of labor.
The number of persons engaged In SYM
pathetic strikes is given as s,534, Of
whom ia lost their positions. The
amount lost in wages in these is put at
$3.50, 800. "a, and the cost to employers
at SS5, O76.9S. The result Of the sympa-
thetic strikes is thus summarized:
Successful GOA, compromised s, un-
successful so. In 597 cases employ
ers failed to I'll contracts, and Gil
firms reported a diversion Of trade in
consequence Of strikes, with loss Of
S9O4, S6S5O. The loss to goods and
machinery IS put down as only S11, 422.-
90, and the cases Of disorder as 257. OF

OVERRIDING IT.


The Rev. DR.. TYNDALL, Of New
York, has out-heroded Herod in real
lstic ssrmonizing.
A series Of object lesson sermons
warranted TO impress the eyes as well
as the ears Of his hearers is now
being given by him. Sensationallsm
in the pulpit is not convincing TO
thinking people, but when accompanied
By "scenic effects" 1t is repellant.
DR.. TYNDALL on Sunday last preach
ed sermon which had for its title
"snakes."
The discourse was one on temper
pnce. subject that cannot be too
frequently talked about in the pulpit
DR.. TYNDALL gets his audience into
his church by the most approved circus
methods. he posts notices everywhere
announcing his sermons big poster
with a tangle Of red, green and blue
snakes printed in colors uponit Then he
has the aid of big organ, a large choir
four cornets,and three bass horns. Then
he ''went for" his audience in the most
rampautly realistic style. Having
worked up his audience, given q little
scripture and a great deal Of DR.. Tyn-
dali, he depicted the horror and suffer
ing from delirium tremens. TO assist
him the preacher had a dozen property
snakes made Of cloth and wire concealed
about him, some under his coat and in
bis boots, while others were placed so
ne could easily reach them. As he gave
his description he pulled out the snakes
before his audience and jusgled with
them.
Theclimax was this. The doctor took
a wine glass and filed It apparently with
champagne, Of which the average man
doesn't think by the way. Then, as the
dominic touched a match to the con-
tents of the glass, which were chemicals
especially prepared for the sermon, a
hideous writhing, s ake-like figure sew
eral feet long arose out Of the glass,
squirmed around, and sprawled upon
the pulpit. AS this was going on DR..
TYNDALL stood on one side, pointing
to the snake and cried, 1.-THE next
time you go to drink Just think
Of that That Is how horrible a wine or
beer glass or a whisky glass ia
Remember Don't, as you value your
life and your life's salvation, let snakes
get into your boots and into your brains
