back, like wood ticks, from April, 1861,
to April, 1865; men who crippled the
hands Of President Lincoln, and pro-
lOnged the war at least "a year, with it,
frightful consequent loss of precious
blood and treasure. To this Kissing
lump of convoluted copperheads be-
lOnged United States Senator Voorhees,,
who, i'm his public speeches, described
the Union soldiers rs "Abe LincOlns
pups, who ought to wear collar with
the inscription, Il am Abe LincOln's
dog; whose dog are you" To the
same class belonged Democratic Editor
Brick Pomeroy. who, when Lincoln
was assassinated, wrote that the great
president went up like Il rocket and
came down like the stick" to this
class belonged the New York World,
which denounced Grant during the
war as "a drunken butcher leading the
soldiers to the shambles'; to this class
belonged the late Democratic minister
to England, who, in his speeches in
1864, described Lincoln as "a wooden
head; a babOon of the backwoOds,' Il
phrase suggested to him probably by
Democratic Judge Lamar's denuncia-
ton Of Lincoln in 1861 as a "bloody-
minded bufi'OOn," and to this class be-
longed Grover Cleveland, who, on July
%, 1864, when told in IA Buffalo beer
Joint that General Mcpherson had
been killed before Atlanta, merely
looked up from his hand Of whist and
grimly inquired, "What's trumps"
fit be blackguardism to call Pre- 81
dent Cleveland by his right name; to
correctly define him as "A cOpperhead
from 1876, then his copperhead
friends and sympathizels in the past
and his present admirers are welcome
to make the most of it, but to all men
who were for the Union in lS6l-65
Cleveland is described with historical
accuracy as a thick-skinned copper
head, utterly without sympathy for the
cause of his own section, and open
mouthed i'm his expression of hostility
for it to the end of increasing disaffec-
ton to the government behind the
bleeding armies of the Uuion. If it be
blackguardism to tell this dismal, dis
graceful historic truth about this pres
ent Democratic demi-god, then let the
besOtted wOrshippers of this ugly
wooden Indian that IS the present sign
of the Democratic tobacco shop make
the most of il.
The Republican party did not write
Cleveland's unpatriOtic political record
during the civil war; it did not write
his dusky personal record that made
his campaign in 1884 one of moral
apology to the public; it is not response
Die for his political stupidity, nor his
sectional tariff; and it is justified in
speaking of him exactly as it finds
him."

There is one trust, formed years ago,
which never had any charge of sharp
practice or extortion laid at its door that
the public has heard Of The present
Omaha railroad was consolidated from
FIVE roads. The government granted
public lands to all, These were put into
a common syndicate in 1879 and placed
in charge Of two men-A. Il. Wilder
and F. Drake. They were to dispose Of
the land to actual settlers and hand the
money over to the roads The work be-
gan on the line laid down, The man
ayers of the trust handled millions Of
dollars. Through their agency 200, 900
settlers migrated to Minnesota, and they
disposed of nearly $500 acres of lands
which are now thriving farms. The
trust has at length come to an end be-
cause its work is done. There are no
more lands to dispose Of and the affairs
of the concern have been wound up
Trusts of this kind are welcome.

How This stare was Named.

The state of Washington owes its
name to a Kentucky member of con-
gress named Stanton. The petition to
be set off as a separate territory from
Oregon was before congress as early as
1852, but was not acted ON till 1855.
The name proposed was Columbia, but
Stanton said 1--WE have already a
territory of Columbia. This district is
called Columbia, but we never yet have
dignified a territory with the name OF
Washington. | desire to see, if l should
live so long, at some future day SOW
ereign state bearing the name of the
father of his country. / therefore move
to strike out the word Columbia
wherever it occurs in the bill and in
sert in lieu thereof the word Wash

\ good many citizens will be dis
posed to complain at an expenditure OF
SS9l.5O in the engineering department
in a single month, during which
scarcely any public work was in pro-
gress. The amount is over SlGO greater
than the combined pay rolls Of the
police and street departments. Add to
it the engineers salary and incidentals
and it will be seen that the total cost OF
the department in August was over
Sl,O50. Under the circumstances the
taxpayers may well be pardoned if they
consider this amount unnecessarily
large.

Rev. DR.. Arthur Pierson says that so
far from being a degenerate age this is
an age of splendid advance along all
lines. With all the worlds doubts, ra-
tionalisln and money grabbing. religion
never shone out with more remarkable
power than it does today. This is evil
denced in its hberality, its wide benef-
cence, its yearning and reaching out
after federation and cooperation. An
important event in one denomination is
now the common concern of the Chris
tian and Jewish world The reverend
doctor might have added that this is es-
pecially the case if the event is trial
for heresy, but he did not He must
have thought it, however.

that he is looking after land matters in
this county, but on this subject he was
extremely reticent. He will remain in
the city until tomorrow.

When such a city as Portland, Ore
gon, one of the wealthiest, per capita,
i'm the United States, is unable to real
ize more than 924 per cent. from the
sale Of its bonds, and when such a
county as Spokane, in this state, can
get no better offer than $4,000 for
bonds to the amount of SlS3,O0O, there
is little reason to complain of the sale of
the bonds of this young city at par,
less a direct commission Of six and one
half per cent. 1t is very evident that
the great dealers in such securities are
not particularly anxious to acquire
them at a material advance upon those
figures, else the city would have re-
ceived the proceeds weeks ago.

The recent emancipation of the slaves
in Brazil has brought about very much
such a labor difficulty as that which
confronted the people of the South
after President Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation, supported, as it was, by
the final triumph of the federal arms.
The ex-slaves in the new republic have
such an exaggerated idea of their indie
pendence that they absolutely refuse to
work for love or money, and as a con-
sequence it is well nigh impossible to
get sufficient field labor to cultivate the
crops, and the agricultural industry is
nearly paralyzed.

Brazil is just now enjoying big rail-
road building boom, several new roads
being in course of construction to tap
the southern and western sections of
the republic, where the coffee industry
is being largely extended. England
furnishes the rails and nearly all the
coal, but American engines and Ameri-
can ears are used and American
engineers direct the work. Although
the roads are neither owned nor oper-
ated by the government, the govern
ment exercises a powerful and wise
control over them and looks after the
interests of the investors and the pas
sengers with equal solicitude. 1t re-
quires the projectors to guarantee GER
tain dividend, establishes the rates of
fare and freight, keeps a staff of
engineers to regularly inspect the roads,
and also takes a share of the profits.

The city clerk has been instructed to
advertise for bids for 100000 brick of
first-class quality for sewer construction,
and it is estimated that at least 3,0OO,-
600 will be needed for that purpose dur
ing the ensuing year, and there will
also be a large demand for building
purposes. There is an abundance of
excellent clay within the limits Of
Fairhaven, and Councilman Donovan,
whose ability to judge will not be
questioned, expresses the opinion that
it is equal in quality to that used for
the manufacture of sewer brick in New
York City. In view of these facts it
certainly appears that this is a most
inviting field for the establishment of
an extensive and profitable business in
brick manufacture, and especially Of
the superior quality required for sewer
construction. Let us not send abroad
for anything we can produce at home.

TWO WEARS IN PRISON

Mllie NJ. Williams of South Londonderry, who
was arrested last December for entering the
postal car at South Londonderry and the railroad
station at that place and has since been in Jail at
Newfane, was taken last week to Burlington for
trial in the United States court for his offence
against the postal laws. He plead guilty TO en-
teTng the postal car, and also to breaking into
the post office at South Londonderry in November
when he made theft of stamps and a small
amount of money He was sentenced by Judge
Wheeler % one year each in the state prison for
these two offences On leaving for Burlington he
gave Hon. j. w. Melendy the charge of his trunk
On opening this II was found TO contain a large
number OF articles stolen by Williams from the
store In South Londonderry, mainly from the one
now owned by the Messrs Landman Among
these articles was suit of clothes, and a miscel-
laneous collection Of whatever had suited his
fancy, including perfumery, games of all sorts
razor, and other articles OF cutlery IL is sup
posed that he had at different times secreted
himself In the store up stairs before II was closed
at night, and hal then taken what he wanted,
and gone out of the back door. Several times
the goods in the store have been found dsar-
ranged In the morning, aud the back door open.
About $40 worth Of tickets had been taken from
the ticket office. and had been stamped by him.
In attempting 10 set the stamp, however, he had
made the date read 1892 instead of 1891. Williams
was one Of the prisoners who broke out Of the
Newfane jail and was recaptured,
