Picketi,s Charge.


Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud
And heard across tho tempest loud
The death cry Of nation lost,
The brave went down. without disgrace
They leaped to ruins red embrace,
They only heard Fame's thunders wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face
They fell, who lifted up hand,
And babe the sun in heaven to stand.
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress Of the stars
And stayed the march of motherlandl
They stood, who saw the future come,
On through the fights delrlum.
They smote and STOOD who held the hope
of nations ON that slippery slope,
Amid the cheers of Christendom
God lives! He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling hill.
God lives and reigns lie built and lent
The nights for freedoms battlement,
Where floats her flag in triumph still
Fold up the banners Smelt the guns
Love rules. Her gentle purpose runs
mighty mother turns In tears
The pages of her battle years.
Lamenting all her fallen sons.

VERMONT wATCHMAN and con-
tinue it's publication weekly till and
including Wednesday November 80.
This will make twenty issues, cover
ing the period of the Political Cam
paign, state and national, the Eleo-
lions, state and national, and the
Session of the Legislature.
This Campaign Edition will consist
of four pages of the size of the regular
wATCHMAN pages. 1t will con-
tain political matter bearing on state
and national questions, with the news,
ocal, state and general.
The Political Campaign of the sum-
mer and fall of 1892 will be intensely
interesting and exciting, and the vot-
ers of Vermont will desire the facts
of the issues discussed, and larger
amount of general political news and
discussion than ever before; and they
will particularly desire the facts
bearing upon Vermont interests, and
discussions based on such facts.
In the presentation of the Facts of
the situation and in all discussions
relating to Vermont interests, THE
WATCHMAN has long been recOg-
nized throughout the state as the
leader among the state journals.
Published at the State Capital, in
contact with the best sources of in

Dr. FarKhurst, Che New Hork preacher
who recently created a sensation by his SER
mons against vice and the New York police
force, and caused the arrest of several
keepers Of disorderly houses, was before the
court last week as a witness against the
keeper of one OF the house His testimony
related to what he saw in the house, and
proved him to have been guilty of an action
that is disgrace to his cloth.
In pursuance of his determine ton to
vindicate himself and the charges made
from his pulpit, DR.. Parkhurs5 masquer-
AIDED in the unclerical garb of a business
man, and with a young man member of his
congregation and detective visited at
about midnight house of the half world.
Inside they had two or three rounds Of
beer, of each of which DR.. Parkhurst par
took, and for one Of which he paid. Then
the chaperon OF his party made a bargain
with the hostess for a can-cau dance, with
out costume, in which five girls particle
pated. The dance cost SIS, which DR..
Parkhursts party paid. After the dance
the women had game OF leap.frop, still
without costume; then all hands had some
more beer, and DR.. Parkhurst and party
left
This minister of the gospel, whose mission
is to teach, by precept and example, purity
honesty, truth and virtue, went in the
middle Of the night and in false character
to questionable place in order to induce
the inmates, for money, to betray them
selves. By acting falSehood he succeeded
But in the midst of the orgie-'circus, DR..
Parkhurst called it-he did not appear in
his real character, warn the women of their
wickedness and bid them flee from the
wrath to Gomez" he sat through it all, saw
the disgusting performance out and then
departed.
The suppression of vice is to be desired,
ardently, by all lovers of purity in morals
and government; but the principle involved
in DR.. ParBhurst's action is bad. He was
there in the character of a betrayer, not as
a savior. He went to prove his charges by
witnesses, not to reclaim the souls of the
unfortunates. Hisreputation as discovese err
of wickedness was at stake, and it mattered
not the means he took to save it. He went
to "see for hiuself," and by his example
bids young men who do not know to go and
''see for themselves
He has dragged the livery of heaven in
the mire of perdltion on a FOOLS errand.
Such action on the part of minister was
totally unnecessary.

Only q Pretext.

Some Of the third party leaders are now
sewing that it was understood that II the
House Of Representatives did not pass
free coinage bill the alliance would declare
in favor Of the third party. 1t is very well
understood that it was the purpose to try to
lead the alliance into the Peoples party
whether the House passed a free coinage
bill or not. Senator Ellington and some Of
the other alliancemen who were delegates to
the st. Louis convention went there with
the avowed purpose of carrying the alliance
into the third party. 1t was not known at
that time what the House would do with
respect to the free coinage OF silver. but the
impression was that it would pass the Bland
bill.
1t is all nonsense, therefore, 10 say that
the failure Of the House to pass the Bland
bill has caused many democratic alliance
men to come out openly in favor of the
Peoples party, Those who have Joined
that party since the defeat OF the Bland
bill had secretly made up their minds to
JOIN it long before the Bland bill failed to
pass. They simply made that bill the ex-
cuse for their action.
Alliancemen of the west, the majority OF
whom are republicans. have not left the
Republican party because that party is OPP
posed to the free ooinags of silver. 1t is
apparent, therefore, that the alliance as an
organization does not regard free silver
coinage as necessary to the prosperity Of the
farmers

The Telephone.

The enormous proportions of the tele
phone interest in the United States may be
comprehended in measure by glance at
the figures presented by the officers at the
recent annual meeting of the Bell company
In Boston. The capital stock of the COM
pany, $15 900. 900. was increased by 50, 5O0,-
900. The revenue during the past year was
81 ,63S, 653 30. Over 100000, 900 oonnec-
tions were made in all the exchanges of the
company during the year. There are over
500 900 telephones in use in the United
States, requiring about 100000 miles of
wire. II
Telephones, IL will be remembered, are
never sold they are rented to subscribers at
so much per year. 80 the foregoing figures
for revenue represent the amount Of rentals
collected-the company retaining its COM
plete plant In each city.
That all of this enormous business should
be conferred In one corporation has been a
theme for anti-truSt arguments almost with
out number; but the company has held its
own in the courts against all attempts on
the part OF inventors and capitalists to break
the monopoly. However, rights to the onief
patents in the telephone will expire by imi
tation in comparatively short time. and
most people have looked forward to that
time as the beginning of an era Of cheap tele-
phoning There is no doubt that the max
ing free OF the numerous devices for trans
hitting sound by electricity will greatly re-
duce the cost Of the telephone to subscribers;
but those who anticipate sweeping reduc-
ton, aud the prospect of enjoying the con-
veniences of a telephone for almost moth
ing" are likely to be disappointed. 1t is true
that the company, as it is now
operated, is one of the closest monopoles
in existence, and is ''coiningn money with
great rapidity; but it is not at all likely
that in any except the larger cites-New
| York, Chicago. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
one or two others possibly-there will be
rival telephone companies organized after
the expiration Of the patents. Indeed, the
patents on the instruments may be found to
amount. comparatively, to very little. as is
the case with the telegraph. No instrument
necessary to its operation is protected by
patent, and yet the telegraph is virtually
monopolized by one great concern. In the
telephone, as in the telegraph business, it is
not the cost OF the instruments nor the roy
alties on patents which foot up the greater
part OF the expense account In the long run,
but the ealary list, wires, poles, repairs and
''inoidentals" which are not patented.
Having the advantage of plants already
equipped and in operation, a full corps Of
competent employees. and the good will Of
a business that has been in operation for a
number Of years, the Bell Telephone Com
| pany will be in position to dictate terms
to any small company that may attempt to
perate id opposition. There are thou
sand and bne" ways by which an established
corporation Of such strength may keep the
field virtually to itself, and all Of these are
more than apt to be exhausted before many
cities have the benefit of competing tele-
| phone exchanges.

A Pathetic Monkey storv-

A pathetic monkey story is told by ''The
Naturalist on the ProwI' in the Times of Ind a.
he says: "One morning, on rocky hill.
sparsely covered with small trees disturbed a
troop OF monkeys, which made a bolt over the
open ground TO some thicker forests in the
valley below. Three, however, disregarding me-
remained in one tree, making horrible noises at
something underneath. soon discovered that
the OBJECT OF their indignation was a brutal
looking black dog, which was busily devouring
something e. the root of the tree When the
dog saw me u made off, carrying in its mouth a
i placH .ninR Ike little animal with legs and
long tai guessed IL was baby monkey and
gave chase as hard as could. but the dog made
good It's escape without dropping lis prey.
coming back to the tree, searched the
RRround, and found the body Of another little
lnIant, still warm. How did the poor little
thlng fall into the jaws OF that brute? l have
oIten seen an infant OF the same size clinging TO
us mothers breast in perfect rest and security
while she took the most daring bounds from
tree TO tres. Perhaps the dog surprised the
monkeys on the open ground and pressed the
mother so hard that she dropped her offspring
to save her own life. Or perhaps they were en-
loving picnic in fancied security, and had laid
down their little ones when the Zulu rushed
upon them. While | was examining the limp
little body to see whether life was extinct,
pltiful wall told me that it's mother was watch
ing me, She had retired to another tree. some
distance off, and was wistfuly gazing at me,
wondering what was doing with her precious
BABE. l saw that there was no hope, but l
retired and hid myself to see what she would
do. She came down at once and ap-
preached cautiously, distressing me AMI
Jumping me in her mind, no doubt, with the
brutal black dog. Then she stood upon stone.
and standing erect, looked all round, and gave
plAntive scream. Where was her darlings
At last she found 1t, and caught it up, and
pressed it TO her bosom. But it could not lay
hold of her; it fell. Again and again she
raised it, and encouraged it to clasp her in its
arms, as it had always done.
She did not seem to understand that IL was
dead. At length she held it to her bosom with
one hand, and tried to run three, lest the
black dog might return. When she got to a
safe tree she clambered up as best she could
hugging her precious charge with one arm, and
there she gave way TO her grief, and cried
piteously, while a kite sailed grmly round the
tree, as il claiming his own. have often won
dered what she did in the end with the little
lifeless body; cannot believe she left It TO the
kite 1t would not surprise Inc to know that
she buried it, or laid it In some hollow and
covered il with leaves and stones
