A very interesting communication
under the heading of Suggestions, :"
is published on our first page. The
suggestions are relative to funer-
ais and the manner of conducting
them-especially in this section OF
Vermont. There are many forms
and customs which it is difficult to
change, so fixed have they become
no matter how odd or inconvenient
they are. Yet we think when ne
cessity demands a change, or the
habit proves itself to belong to the
past ages, the people ought to be
sss5scyaci abolish
tom. OF all the "customs handed
down to us by past generations and
in which reform is needed, that of
the present funeral programme takes
the lead. When asked whynot make
a change in this method the reply is
frequently made ooh that is the Gus
tom," and yet many who adhere to
" the custom admit that it is avery
poor arrangement and ought to be
changed The suggestions sowell
cover the subject that it is not neces-
sary for us to enlarge upon them.
We hope they will be read and acted
upon by everybody. If so, the de-
lays, confusion, and vexation, so
frequently caused at funerals will be
avoided and the respect and solem-
nifty the occasion demands will not
be detracted therefrom.

One Year of the New Tariff.

One year after the enactment ofthe
Mckinley law finds all predictions
of the Democratic calamity orators
unfulflled. So far from raisingrates all
along the line, as was falsely asserted
the law has reduced them, on the du-
table list, from Al per cent to 41a
per cent and on the entire list from
% per cent to 20 per cent. So far
from raising the cost of the necessa-
ries of life, it has reduced it, and the
Springfield Republican, one of the
most vehement opponents of the bill,
admits that prices are lower than
ever. New industries have been es
tablished and old ones have been
strengthened. Opportunities for en-
ployment have been increased, good
wages are assured to labor, and ros
perity is the rule everywhere. 1t is
not singular that the Democratic
orators and newspapers dislike to be
reminded of these things.-Boston

Death of ParneII,

Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish
leader, died suddenly last week at
his home in Brighton. Although
not in the best of health, his friends
little expected that his end was so
near. The Irish cause had in him
earnest and indefatigable support
er, and one who was devoted to the
cause in which he was enlisted. Yet
he failed to receive the support
he desired. This was in part due
to his private life and his con-
nectiOn with the noted O'Shea
divorce case. His death, however,
caused expressions of sorrow from all
parts of the civilized world. The
funeral was held Sunday and what
ever dissent there was in the past,
Ireland expressed deep grief at tie
grave of its great friend.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born
at Avondale, County Wicklow, in
1916. He was descended from an
English family which had been settled
Tor many generations in Ireland.
His mother is a daughter of Admiral
Charles Stewart, a well known Amer
lean naval officer. Mr.. Parnell was
educated altogether in England and
was a student OF Magdalen, Cam
bridge He was almost typically
English in manner and appearance.
In 1874 he become high sheriff of
Wicklow and was beaten in an effort
to enter Parliament. Next year he
was returned for County Meath in
succession to John Martin, and for
year took no part in the work of the
House. He became gradually more
prominent, until in 1873 he was
elected president of the home rule fed

[From the New England Grocer
The Key Note.

"RETAIL GROCER" HITS THE NAIL ON
THE HEAD IN WRITING OF THE
CRACKER COMBINE"
GLOVER, W., Sept. %, 1891.
Editor New England Grocer =
Any person who will investigate
will easily learn that there is a very
large profit in the manufacture of
crackers. 1t is also evident from the
fact that all the old firms here in Yer
mont have become wealthy, and the
item in the Grocer on the same page
with Retail Grocer's article, goes to
show that these same old firms Join
hands in an effort to crush out any
new competitors. The firm mentioned
of |. A. White & Co. consists of two
enterprising young men, who, some
two years ago bought the old bakery
at MOrrisville, Vt, and have made an
honest endeavor by hard work and
judicious advertising to estabIish q
successful business for themselves. 1t
has been up hill work, for some parties
that had previously run the bakery
had injured it's reputation by selling
a poor class Ofgoods. The rich "eom-
bine" built a new bakery near the old
one at the time that White & Co.
started in, apparently to frighten
them from going on with the bust
ness, but the boys were plucky, and
they found some gentlemen with cap
ital, among whom, | understand is
Judge H. H. Powers whose home is
at Morrisville, who in the interests of
fair play told the boys to go ahead
and they would assist them finan-
cially. 1t seems that after this long
wait the combine is going to make
supreme effort to drive them out of the
business. | think "retail grocer's"
plan of cooperation of the grocers
to manufacture their own crackers is
good and feasible, and let them be
sold by weight instead of count, as
at present, as it is fairer method to |
Ill concerned. The rule among ba-
1ers here is to put 1900 in a barrel,
put great many barrels have less.

1t looks Like Republican Success.
All the "straws" in the stream of
New York politics are running Fas-
sett's way just now. The detection
from the Democratic ticket of Lieut.
Gov. Jones, and the resignation of
Herman Oelrichs from the Democrat
ic national committee because ofTam-
many domination indicate a lack of
harmony within the Democratic rank
that even Gov. Hill has never en-
countered, and when such indepen-
dents as Seth Low follow George Will
liam Curtis in announcing their OPP
position to Flower, it means that the
Democrats have little to expect from
independent sources, despite the atti-
tude of the New York Times. In the
Republican ranks, on the other hand
the very last branch seems to have
been closed. The Buffalo Express.
which at first denounced Fassett's
nomination because it meant evident
ly the rule of Platt, now declares that
the wisest choice was made, and that
Fassett is more likely to dominate
Platt than to be dominated by him.
