ly. The preparation of programme
is left to the discretion of depart
ment commanders, but it is suggest
ed that, among other things, brief
summary of the history of each post
would be appropriate and of value
for preservation. 'This order and ac-
companying letter of the command
er-in-chief will be read at s $50 D. M,
simultaneously, by all posts, the as
semblage standing at attention as a
token of respect to Comrade Stephen
son, the founder of the order; the
same to be followed by prayer by the
post chaplain or some one selected
by the commanding officer. Every
effort VIII be made to have these ser
vices worthy the great event they
signalize, and all posts will forward
a special report of the same to their
department headquarters to be brief
ed, summarized, consolidated and
forwarded to these headquarters by
each department commander"

PENSION MONEY CANNOT BE
PLEDGED.-Section 4745 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States
makes it a crime. punishable by a
fine OF not more than $150and costs.
to hold pension claim as collateral
for debt, and Alexander T. Brown, a
merchant of Port Jervis, N. Y, is
charged with a violation of this law.
The complainant is Andrew A. Mills
paugh, also of Port Jervis, who saws
that he pledged his pension money
as security for debt which he owed
Brown. He traded at Brown s store
and owed the money for dry goods.
When MillspaUgh received the check
for his pension he had it cashed and
refused to pay Brown any of the pro-
ceeds of it. Brown thereupon had
him arrested and indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of larceny.
Special Pension Examiner, BENJAMIN
r. Shopp, investigated the case
and arrested Brown. Commissioner
Shields has held Brown in $3.50 bail
for examination.-[ New York Tribune.

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 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 bars
to leave the counCry. So that Secre-
tary Foster has a we'll 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 y New

The Way it Works.

The extract given below from the
Sheffield Independent of January
18th last, a weekly journal published
in England at the seat of the cutlery
trade, shows that the Mckinley law
is having just the effect that its pro-
moters urged that it would have. 1t
shows that the cutlery for the United
States, the best market for cutlery
as well as for all manufactured arti-
cles in the world, is to be supplied by
American workingmen and capital
instead of by the products of cheap
foreign labor. OF course the people
of this country cannot but be sorry
that this withdrawal of patronage
from these foreign manufacturers
will result in lower wages and con-
sequent distress among their opera
tives. But the fact that the Ameri-
can Tariff System which was framed
to help American labor should have
a bad effect upon the already under
paid labor of other countries, is not
unnatural or unexpected and cannot
be quoted as an argument against
the Mckinley bill in this country.
We repeat that the Mckinley bill
was designed for the protection of
American labor. The extract re-
ferred to is as follows:
The operation of the Mckinley Tariff Act
in reducing the export of Sheffield cutlery to
America is giving rise to some difficulty in
houses largely interested in trade with the
United States. Some of the principal houses
are Messrs. Joseph Rodgers and Sons, Lin
tied. Messrs. Geo. WostenhOlm and Son Linn
sted, Messrs Needham Brothers. and Messrs
GrOokes and Son. The first named house
employ in the various departments some 400
hands, and although they have not at pres
ent given any notice to the men of a reduc-
ton OF wages, as has been done at Messrs
WostenhOlm's, an intimation has been given
that, in view of the serious falling off in the
American trade, such step will become nee
eSsary. The men at present have not return
ed to work after the interval for stock, taking
in the new year, and they have been invited
by the directors to consider the question dur
ing the holidays The company have received
adviees from America which lead to the con-
elusion that, even after the partial recovery,
which will, no doubt, follow the collapse that
has been experienced, their business with the
United States will be reduced nearly one
half. and as there is no immediate prospect of
Il change in the situation over there, they
ask their men to accept a temporary reduc-
tion until business has readjusted itself and
the lost ground is compensated for in other
directions. The course adopted by Messrs
Rodgers and Sons and Messrs Wostenholm
will no doubt be followed by the smaller
houses interested"

CONCERNING THE NICARAGUA CANAL,
Every year confirms the wisdom OF
Disrael's purchase of a majority OF
the shares in the Suez canal for the
British government; it was a pur-
chase that converted the Mediterra-
mean sea into a British lake. This
country has no purpose of acquiring
new territories, but its adhesion to
the new Monroe doctrine must be-
come firmer with each new develop
ment of commerce in each of the
American republics. The Hawaiian
islands, morally at least, are under
an American protectorate. The re-
public of Mexico must be preserved
as an American republic, and, as we
all know, the Aleutian islands and
the main land of Alaska cannot be
safely exposed to the navies of rival
powers. The Nicaragua canal, of
course, must be free to the whole
world i'll time of war. If the control
of the canal were offered to Great
Britain or France or Germany, how
quick y would any Que of these great
nations purchase a majority of stock
outright. The most ordinary pru-
dence suggests the necessity of the
United States government acquiring
supreme control of the canal, and
the plan suggested by ex-senator
Miller of an endorsement of $780,
OOO, 1000 of the bonds, with two-thirds
of the stock as security, seems as
feasible as any that can be offered

MORRISVILLE and HYDE PARK,
Thursday, March &c. 1891.
$4,000 for Vermont.


The last Congress passed an act
refunding to the State certain expen-
ditures made by them during the war
of the Rebellion, under which Yer
mont is entitled to $179, 900 Under
the terms of the act it cannot be
paid to the State until it is accepted
by the Legislature as in full settle
ment of its claim against the Gov
eminent, and the question arises :
Ought the Governor to call an extra
session to avail itself of the $4,000
to So, 900 interest on the appropri-
alton?
Another and very important ques-
ton for the consideration of the peo-
pile of Vermontis: What shall be done
with this fund? Ifpaid directly into
the treasury of the State it would
naturally be expended for current ex-
penses. Would this be right? 1t is
in no sense the earnings of the pres
ent generation. 1t comes rather
as a legacy from our fathers and
should not be used to pay the cur
rent expenses of the State. Wind
falls like this ought to be set aside
for educational purposes. If added
to the Huntington Fund, to be
sacredly set apart for the support
of our common schools, it would be q
perpetual blessing, as well as con
slant reminder to the generations
that come after US that Vermont
promptly responded in our country's
greatest peril, not only with men,
but with munificent sums of money.
Let us not fail to treat this legacy
from the days of 1861 from a broad
and statesmanlike standpoint.
The Democratic press just now are
harping very loudly about the enor-
nous expenditures of the last Con-
gress and the using up of the Treas
ury surplus. We give elsewhere a
statement regarding the treasury ac-
counts, made last week by Mr.. Can
non. The showing of the past two
years is a good comparison with
that of any two years OF the Cleve-
land administration, and a perusal
of the statement will prove that the
expenditures have been wisely and
carefully made under Republican adj
ministration.
