hat Temperance Women Can Do.

The temperance women of two
towns in Vermont made it decidedly
unpleasant for the rumsellers in the
community independence day, and
by so doing showed that they not
only had convictions but the courage
to live up to them. The temperance
women are a power in the communi-
ty and backed as they are by public
sentiment they not only dare but do,
for God and home and alive land"

The Immigration Problem.
No more serious problem confronts
the people of this country at the
present time than the question Of the
character of the excessive immigra-
ton. The condition of our institu-
tions, especially in the cities and
larger towns, is being year by year
unfavorably effected by the mixed
foreign influences. The cardinal
issue upon which the Republican
party has carried several of the
recent elections, has been that of pro-
lection to American interests. The
tariff upon goods produced in Europe
has been increased to protect our
manufacturers and working men
against the competition of the cheap
labor of Europe. Nothing practical
has been done to protect our work
ingmen against the important ton of
cheap European labor in it's concrete
form. The working people OF to-day
need protection from the free trade
in labor, as much as they do from
free trade in the products of labor.
The time has long passed when we
can conveniently assimilate annually
the enormou importation of people
who are alien to us, not only in
birth but in language, traditions,

More for the Worlds Fair.
Shall Vermont be surpassed by all
her sister states of New England in
making a creditable show at the Co.
lumbar Exposition to be held at
Chicago in 1898? Massachusetts,
has appropriated seventy-fve thou
sand dollars, Maine forty thousand
dollars, and New Hampshire twenty
five thousand dollars. Twenty-nine
states have appropriated in the ag
gregate $2,675, 900; very few states
have declined to appropriate any
thing. and the larger part Of these
simply because of constitutional re-
strictions which forbid it. The pop
ulation of Vermont is about the same
as that Of New Hampshire, yet this
state has thus far appropriated only
5000, as against $25, 900 appro-
priated by New Hampshire. If an
extra session of the Legislature shall
be held, one Of the very few things
that that session should do should
be making a larger appropriation for
this object. Maine and New Hamp-
shire have arranged to jointly con-
struct building for the people of
those states, and it is thought that
if Vermont shall so desire it will be
given an opportunity to join them.
Of course this cannot be done if the
appropriation be no larger than it
now is, and the next regular session
of the Legislature will come too late
to make an additional appropria ton

the benefit of ALL Why will it be
more likely to destroy a mans in
dividuality to work for the nation
than to work for Gould or Wander
bilt?
Have you read about the engineer
on one of your New England rail-
roads? He worked twenty-seven
consecutive hours. He was ready to
drop from exhaustion, when he re-
ceived orders to make another trip.
He replied that it was impossible.
"You must" came back over the
wire; and that engineer, although
one of the oldest on the road, was
out of a job. How much was his
individuality worth to him?
What then. in brief, does National
ism propose? 1t proposes, as be-
ginning, that the government shall
take control of those great enter
prises which should evidently be
managed entirely for the public good.
1t was expected that the first real
fight and real victory would be over
the question of the postal telegraph.
But events direct themselves The
first fight and victory was in the
Massachusetts, Legislature over the
question of allowing cities the right
and make their own gas.
Nature gave every city that right
but the people foolishly gave it
away. To-day the citizens of Mar
blehead pay $3.50 per thousand feet
for their gas. Here in Washington
we pay 25,-and the gas company
is making big money at that
But the first national struggle will
be for national control of the railway
and the telegraph. If the people find
that they can manage their railroads
and telegraphs better than corpora
tions now manage them, it will not
take them long to conclude that
they can also advantageously man
ufacture their own car wheels, calico,
flour, nails and wrapping Irvine.
AS necessary step to Nationalism,
the system of Civil Service by merit
alone, must be perfected. The last
vestige of party favoritism in civil
service must be done away. The
engineer, the conductor, the telegraph
operator, must hold his place and
salary simply because he is the best
man for the place, and not because
his wife's cousin is nephew to Senator
X. A very slight change in our
present Civil Service law will bring
it about
This, then, is Nationalism; that
all the people shall work together
for the common good. Not competi-
ton, but cooperation.

PENSIONS AND THE PUBLIC DEBT

At the close Of the war, when the
country was staggering under
great weight of debt and taxation,
the men who controlled the legisla-
ton of the country did not decline
to provide for the payment of the
public debt because it was large.
Such action would have been both
cowardly and dishonest On the
contrary, they faced the great prob
lem with courage and solved it with
wisdom and honor. They amended
the constitution of the United
States, and in amendment XIV,
section 4, it is declared that
''the validity of the public debt Of
the United States, authorized by law,
including debts for payment of pen
sions and bounties for services in sup
pressing instruction or rebellion,
shall not be questioned" Here is a
solemn constitutional recognition of
the right of these soldiers to pensions,
and of the duty of Congress to enact
suitable laws granting the same.
This amendment recognizes and pro-
tects two great classes of financial
obligations. The one is to those
who held the securities of the govern
ment issued to raise money to carry
on the war; the other is to those
who took the personal risks of war
and whose patriotism and valor
saved the Union. The heroism of
the men in arms made the great
cause triumphant. and by their sue
cess converted the deprecated obliga-
tions held by public creditors into
glittering gold; and now when this
mighty obligation of the old soldiers
has matured, because of their in
frmities and their weight of years,
shall it be denied them because the
sum is large? In 1865 the interest
charge upon the public debt was
nearly $151 100000, and the pen
sions were $S,5OO.OOO; an aggre-
gate of 100000. The public
creditor expected his interest, and it
was paid by the people without
abatement. The population was
then 100000. and this annual
charge of interest and pensions was
$4.57 per capita. The public is now
almost paid. 1t is no longer burden.
The bondholders have received So
6OO,179,OOO in interest and pre-
niums since July, 1 1861. The pen
sioners have received $1,294, 49,
900. The present interest charge
for 1891 is $36,4OS, 900, and the
pensions for this year will cost
SIG, 100000, or an annual aggre-
gate of interests and pensions of
$152, 5OS,OOO. We now have
population of 63,OOO,OOO; so that
tl,IS annual evne1ce Of ip+arac+ o.,J
pensions is 1914 per capita. The
gratitude of this alton to its defend
ers should be measured by the value
of the service rendered and the
financial ability of this people to re-
spond to the demand of just pension
legislation.-[ From Pensions and
Patriotism, by Cen Green B.
Raum, United States Commissioner
of Pensions, in North American Re-

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

Discrimination Against q Georgia Town in
Railroad Transportation.
The interstate commerce commission TODAY,
in an opinion by Commissioner Veazey, decided
the case of Hamilton Il Brown of Kramer. Ga,
against the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
Railroad Company, the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company and the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis Railway Company, in favor
of compliments. The points decided are briefly
as follows:
l. The rates on freight from interstate points
to Kramer, Ga, via the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus railroad are made by taking the
through rate to recognized "basing points
and adding thereto that local rate which will
give the lowest combination. This method of
determining rate is criticised, and as applied
to such traffic to Kramer. operates an unjust
discrimination against that locality.
2. All the carriers participating in the traffic
the rates for which were questioned in this pro-
ceeding were not made parties, and the case,
while showing that the through rates were dis
criminatory and unjust, failed to disclose suffi-
Gent facts upon which an accurate decis;o on
could be based, and, accordingly, it was held
that the parties to the proceeding be required
to adjust their respective tariffs SO as tC avoid
discrimination against Kramer, and that the
carriers who were not parties be summoned to
appear and show cause why "a like order be not
| issued as to the business i'll which they partici.
pate. unless their tariffs are voluntarily ad.
justed as to avoid the discrimination com.

rather handsome brute. with a white. sleeky
coat, all spotted with black. She was ambling
around Mcpherson Square this morning with
a servant. She has an effectionate disposition,
reciprocating not only the petting of her mis-
tress, but she is equally susceptible to the ad-
vances of strangers. Bernhardt makes great
pet of the fluffy little poodle about twice as
big as a mans fist that she carries about with
her.
