THE STORY THE WIND TOLD.
Well, as you have asked for my
story, here it is:
OF course 1 was once a baby, Just
as you all we're, aud my name was
Zephyr. l played genGly with the
bamboo leaves, aud could scarcely
move them. AS I grew older I would
blow children's hats off, and not let
them get them again, until they were
all out OF breath. Sometimes l
would blow in peoples faces, but they
did not mind it, and would say, what
a nice, gentle breeze that is."
1 did not like to be called a "gen-
tie breeze" and &c that night I tried
TO blow their fences down, but 1 was
TOO wesk, and could not succeed;
however. 1 persevered, and the third
aIght 1 blew oown the fences and
tore up the young trees which the
farmers had just planted. I was
proud that l had done such a grand
thing, and hurried home to tell my
parents about it.
They were greatly pleased that /
had shown my strength, but sorry
that l had done such a selfish thing.
But they said that 1 should take a
journey, and that on the way we
would go through the warm countries,
and blow against the sails OF ships,
n do all sorts OF good deeds so that
l might atone for what mischief /
had done.
While with my father and mother
1 did right, but at length. much to my
regret, my parents died. I fell in
with bad company, and finally We de-
cided to unite our strength and blow
over the city Of Louisville, Ky. And
not only were We going to blow over
it but We we're going to destroy it.
l was the leader of the band, and my
name was Cyclone. The names Of
my friends ere I'LL alike, but they
were only hard winds. The next day
the city was laid in ruins.
As 1 had used a great deal Of
strength in this effort, 1 began TO
grow weaker. l got wiser, the older
l became, and now, as my life is al
most endet, I AN a sorrowing and re-
pentant wind. And my moral TO
younger winds is this: Never be
Troublesome TO those in your power,
instead try to do good, and you will
svsr be glad Of it.

Good Democratic Authority.

The aldermen and common council of
Springfield, Mass. recently passed an ordi-
nance increasing the salaries of certain of
iicers of the police department. At a meet
ing on Monday evening Mayor Sbley We
toed this ordinance on the ground that
there was no reason for the proposed in
crease. He had found, he said. that the
duties of these officers were no more oner-
ous than when they were fixed i'm 1883,
while the people We're no better able to pay
increased salaries, his enquiries having
convinced him that the average earnings
of the great mass of people are less today
than when these salaries We're established.
Still further than this, the mayor says
Another careful comparison which | have
made of the difference in the cost of living, So
far as the necessary articles of family consump-
ton enter, shows an average decrease in cost of
prov isions breadstufs fuel and light of at least
~ per cent since the present salaries We're named
in 1888 while furniture, clothing and many other
articles show an equally large reduction. This
call your attention To as showing that increased
cost of living cannot be considered an argument
for any advance"
Mayor Sibley, being a Democrat, in eX-
cellent standing in Springfield, the evidence
which he thus gives ought to be accepted
as conclusive that the Republican tariff
has not increased the cost of the necessa-
ries of life, as the Democratic paper would
have the public believe, Keep this clip
ping against you are told in the coming
campaign how the Mckinley law has in
creased the cost of the poor mans living.

A PcnceruI settlement In sigh,.

The negotiations with the English gov
ernment for the settlement of the Bering
sea controversy has assumed a pacific as
pect this week. The firm attitude OF Pres
ident Harrison in insisting that some ar
rangement shall be made for the protection
of the seals while the question is in arbi-
tration, had its expected effect and on
Saturday a reply was received from Lord
Salisbury in which he retired from his
former position of refusing to renew the
modus vivend-that is, to forbid the Oper-
ations of the Canadian sealers in Bering
sea waters-if the arbitration treaty be
first ratified, and if it be agreed that dam
ages shall be awarded to the Canadians for
the loss inflicted by the suspension in case
the decision of the arbitrators shall be ad-
verse to the United States, or to the Unit
ed States sealers if the decision shall be in
our favor 1t is understood that the state
department promptly notified the English
government that this was a satisfactory
basis on which to proceed.
This action was followed on Tuesday by
ratification of the Bering sea arbitration
treaty by the Senate by unanimous vote
Only two slight changes were made, one
providing that the proceedings before the
board of arbitration shall be conducted in
the English language, and the other that
the arbitrators shall have four months in
stead of three in which to render their de-
cision after the close of the arguments
This action has put an end to belligerent
talk and the prospect is now for happy
settlement of the whole dispute

pounds or upwards Vermont led with
the production of 14,129,921 pounds and
New York followed with 10, 4S5, ,623 pounds,
as compared with II, ,26l OF pounds and
l0,603, ,619 pounds respectively at the pre-
ceding census.

The Humlliating Record of the Demo-
cratic Majority.
from the Boston journal

With majority of $50 in its favor the
Democratic party in the House of Repre-
sentatives has failed to redeem the prom
ises on which fully two-thirds of its mem
bers were elected. 1t is humiiatng and
objectionable record of impotency. Less
than four score Republicans, under able
and sagacious leadership, have really die
tated the policy of Congress and baked
the overwhelming forces of the Democracy
in one of the most important of their leg
islative designs. The bafiled silver mag
mates may well be furious at the sudden
ness and completeness of the disaster. 4 =
But the apparent defeat of free coinage on
the threshold of victory cannot blot out
the fact that it is supported by the domi-
nant elements of the Democratic party. 1t
cannot blot out the appalling record of last
Thursday S vote. That is something which
cannot be ignored, and cannot be evaded.
1t put an end forever to all falsehoods and
deceptions and placed the two parties be-
fore the country in their proper light.
OF 2l1 Democratic members 130 voted
for free coinage and 81 against it. On
ly II Republicans voted for free coin
age, and 81 against. These illuminat-
ing figures will sound from every platform
and from every public journal during the
approaching canvass, and be indelibly inn
pressed upon the memory of every voter.

a Good AIl-Round Man.

+ rom the Montpelier Waterman.
Colonel Levi h. Fuller of Brattleboro
has had a large experience in state affairs.
He has had much to do with legislation.
He has a wide acquaintance in the state
and country, and experience and acquain-
tanceship have been supplemented by
foreign travel and observation. He is an
excellent business man. He has had a
practical business training. He is famil-
lar, through study and direct personal con-
tact, with the problems that greatly inter
est the people of Vermont at this time.
Though not a member of the legislature
in 1882, he took an influential part in the
labOrs and discussions that ended in the
framing and passage of the corporation
taX-law. In many other ways he has par
ticipated in important economic movements
in this state, and is now closely identified
with measures to advance her prosperity.
He is a broad-minded man, enterprsing
and progressive. He has abundant ability
and official experience adequately to per-
form not only the technical duties of the
Office of governor, but a capacity and will
lingness to devote himself, outside of those
duties, to the welfare and good name of
the state. For a good-all-round governor,
specially fitted and qualified for the impor-
tant duties and service that will, during
the next biennial term, devolve upon the
executive, Colonel Fuller is, in our iudg-
ment, the best equipped man that has yet
been named.

Hard Times i'm Australia.
Business Depression and Threatened
Starvation in that PARKWAY Country.


Starvation in that For-away Country.
Mr.. II. F. G. Toedt has recently received
from his brother who lives in Victoria,
Australia, letter which gives very
gloomy account of the condition of affairs
in that country. He says:
"There is great commercial crisis hang
ing over these colonies. The question of
unemployed workingmen is a regularly re-
curing topic, but this year it is worse than
usual. There are in Melbourne thousands
of people artisans, workingmen and clerks,
people of every trade-in great distress,
some of them actually starving. Old, es-
tablshed business houses are failing to an
alarming extent, and even a great number
of banking institutions have gone of late
into liquidation. The depression in each
branch of trade affects every other. III the
country districts there is a great drouth
We have had no rain since September or
October Of last year. The tanks and dams
are empty, and people have to pay heavily
for water to be carted into the townships.
Farmers have to cart water from great dis
tances, from shire wells, creeks or the riv-
ers. Stock is driven miles for water. The
whole country has dried up and parched
appearance, and feed is scarce. The only
place in Victoria that is now growing or
flOurishing is the irrigation colony of Mil
dura, where the Chaffey brothers from
California have spent in the last five years
e3jO,OOO in the construction of irrigation
works"
This information is undoubtedly authen-
tic, and it seems remarkable that no gen
eral knowledge has reached this country of
the distressing state of things which exists
on the Australian continent.

From the Burlington Free Press
The attitude of many of the leading men
on this side of the state on this question
has been thus far one of waiting for the
preferences of the Republicans of the east
side to concentrate, as between the several
good Republicans and worthy citizens
named for the nomination. In the opinion
Of well-informed persons in four of the
largest counties on the east side of the
mountain, the indications of preference at
this time are decidedly in favor of Col.
Fuller of BrattlebOro-based upon his
high personal character, his lberality and
public spirit, and determined largely by the
belief that his wide acquaintance in other
states and his energetic interest in the
farming and manufacturing industries of
our state, can be and will be of greater
service to the material interests of Yer
mont, especially during the period of strong
competition and development attending the
great Columbian exposition. Such con-
sideratiOns as these are the influences
which should decide the question, rather
than the manipulations OF wire pullers, or
the personal ambitions of individuals.
The question, however, is still open, and
is likely to be up to the meeting of the
convention.

Death of war Whitman.

Walt Whitman, the good gray poet,
died last Saturday night at his home in
Camden, n. j., after many months of
weary lingering. His strange and romantic
career began in Huntington, Long Island,
almost 73 years ago. At II he began to
write sentimental bits" With a cultured
mind, and well read in the classics, he pre-
ferred a Bohemian comradeship with the
people of all classes and conditions, seek
ing in this way to reach complete sym
pathy with all men. "a careless slouch, en-
joying today" he spoke of himself, and in
his Leaves of Grass declared, II loaf
and invite my SOUL With all his faults
he was a true poet, his work being better
esteemed and appreciated in Europe than
in this country. He produced many pieces
of noble verse that will live as long as the
language in which they were penned.
