/ From the st. Albans Messenger

From the st. Albans Messenger
1t was only few short years ago when
there reigned in Vermont colonel, whose
lavish extravaganza was the subject of
comment throughout the state. He sport
ed tally-hO coaches, footmen in livery,
made his private apartments a distributing
point for alcoholic liquors, ad libitum, and
was the idol of the ladies wherever he
went. Suddenly he collapsed, his source
of revenue, the copper mine in VerShire,
failed to turn out dollars, and about 1000
laborers were defrauded of dollars of hard
earned money, while this eXtravagant
young man, whose hyphenated name was
Ely Ely-Goddard. fitted from the state and
has since disported himself in various cit
les of America and Europe with the money
swindled out of the poor miners at Yer
shire. He married a wealthy lady some
time since, and, it is claimed, has squan-
dered her fortune and is now himself in a
state of impecuniosity. The New York
papers recently chronicled the death of the
woman he married, in Europe and imme-
diatcly thereafter the club men and round
ers raised purse to send Col. f. Ely-G od-
dard abroad To look after the body of the
Door woman

debate at Washington Monday to hear Mr..
Williams, the hard money Massachusetts
Democrat, appealing to the majority to
keep the pledges of the Democratic party
in favor of sound money, and then to hear
Mr.. Pierce, the free silver Democrat from
Tennessee, eXhOrting the Democrats to
keep the pledges they had made that free
silver bill should be passed

In this weeks impression we pub
lish the discourse delivered by the
Rev. E. ID. Daniels over the body of
the late DR.. John M. Shoemaker. 1t
Ia sermon intended to console; a
collection of thoughts expressed in
simple and comprehensive language
that goes to perform the duties allot-
ted to the ministerial profession in oc-
casions of this kind, viz to assiduous-
ly strive to assuage the great grief al
ways attendant to the loss of a dear
one. We ali recognize the deplorable
fact that it Is too often the manifest
desire Of the orator to tear gapingly
apart the already iacerated and sore
feelings OF unfortunates left to mourn.
We all are familiar with the closing
scenes of funeral rites-"the narrow
house," the terrible thoughts Of a last
farewell, the awful uncertainty of ev-
er meeting, the horror of being
brought in such proximity Of death
and other thoughts that will rush In
upon the weary soul with force to
make the strongest shudder and grow
sick at heart;--these feelings are
natural ones that need no aid in in
creasing their magnitude. Then does
it not SAVIOR of cruelty for one whose
duty is plainly to condole and console
to add combustible material In the
way of vivid portrayals of the vacant
chair" and minute details wherein tht
departed will be missed =? In days
gone by the success of funeral dis
course depended upon the ability 0
the minister to create CONSERVATION
among the ranks of the mourners, bu
that time is matter of history only.

The Gist of the Tariff Issue.


The raising OF government revenues
by tariff taxes is favorite method
with law-givers because the tax is
taken surreptitiously. The man who
saws it never knows how much he
psys. He is therefore less concerned
than he might otherwise be to insist
upon economy in government ex-
penditures and to recent extravaganza
nd waste or even fraud itself.
But the system is very bad one to
carry to excess. 1t taxes In the wrong
place and upon pernicious principle.
Taxes ought to be levied upon wealth;
Tariffs tax poverty far more than
wealth.
Taxes ought to fall mainly upon
those who can afford to pay; tariff
taxes fall mainly upon those who can
least afford to pay.
Taxes ought to be levied upon prop
erty. Tariff levies taxes upon industry
and consumption, doubtless tending
to burden business, to lessen markets,
to reduce the demand for mems servic-
es, to keep wages down and to dimin-
sh the purchasing power of wages.
1T Is TIE pOiICJ vi bhV 1CliOSiA
party, in the interest of the people, to
reduce tariff burdens to minimum,t tc
make the common necessaries of life
and the raw materials of manufacture
so far as possible free, to give every
possible encouragement to industry
and to reduce the expenses of the gov
ernment to the standard of actua
need.
1t is the policy Of the Republican
party to increase tariff taxes SO as t
restrain trade, to encourage the busi
ness of the rich at the expense of th'
poor, to make the necessaries of lif
dear, and to collect vast sums from
the people which may be squanderet
in ways calculated to purchase suppor
for the party sending them.
Z The question for every man to an
swer in next years Presidential elec
tions is. Which of these policies d.
you prefer?-New York World.

just to think you hear liz, Mother, hear the

Home is sad without father or mother; gloom

Eyes OF childhood wet with weeping, speak of
sorrow and dispair.
Home is sad without q mother, mouldering yon-
der Ill the tomb.
She rests in peace with pale hands folded be-
meath the cold earth that holds her will.
Home is sad without mother, vacant is the old

Lips of love are cold and silent--silent in the

Home is sad without mother, up there in the

A CITIZEN of Salt Lake City sued
the city last week for $1,000 damages
for injuries sustained in falling on a
defective sidewalk in the city. The
citizen was pretty drunk at the time
he fell, and he admitted the fact to the
Court. The city set up the defense of
contributory negligence. The plain
tiff's lawyer laid down the very plain
and plausible proposition that "a
drunken man is as much entitled to a
good sidewalk as a sober man aud is
much more in need Off
