Masonic Unbe1ieVerS.

The following from an exchange
is so full of solid truth that we pub
fish it. Occasionally there is found
a man who makes himself decidedly
obnoxious to people generally be-
cause of his sneering utterances re-
garding Masonry and Masons. OF
course he knows nothing about the
order, and in not a few cases has
either been black-balled or knows
that his application would be reject
ed. Such utterances from men OF
this character do not in the least in
jure the order, but it is refreshing to
| take them in hand occasionally and
hold them up to the world in theiI
true Light
g 1t is a trite saying that there is
no fool like an old fool This is not
exactly true, for there is one more
foolish than he-the fool that needs
to be introduced to himself This is
the fool who out of his great knowl-
edge condemns Masonry. Of course
he is not a Mason, can therefore
have no possible knowledge upon
which to base his judgment, and
thus proves the truth of our asser-
ton. Presumably, thoughtful and
intelligent people have noticed that
Masonry wastes no breath denying
or attempting to refute baseless
charges; also that the illustrious
dead for centuries past beyond and
including the worshipful King Solo
NOM as well as earth's noblest
among the living, squared their lives
by Masonic precepts; faithful unto
death to vows intoxicating princi-
pies that ages have only served to
strengthen and perpetuate-vows
that no man outside the pale may
criticize because perforce he knoweth
not their purports, yet which every
brothers life demonstrates do not
conflict with his duty to God, his
country, his neighbor or himself
Verify the old fool hath found his
peer"

The Methodist Conference.

OMAHA, May A.-The woman delegate
question WAS taken up, discussed and laid
over. Dr.Sanford Hunt was elected treas
urer and DR.. Earl Cranston secretary of
the missionary society. A motion to ad-
inurn Thursday was carried.
OMAHA, May 25a-A majority report was
presented saying there is not sufficient
reason for the proposed change concern
ing dancing and other worldly amuse-
ments. The report on the Epworth League
was adopted, and DR.. j. +. Berry was
elected editor of The EpworJh Herald
The itineracy fve-year limit will remain
OMAHA, May 26.-The conference de-
cided to leave the matter of dancing, the
alter going,etc. to individual choi.e Sun
day closing of the Worlds fair was de-
manded and a church exhibit favored

ring polygamists from the church was
adopted. The judiciary committee re-
ported that the word "iaymenn in the
discipline had reference to men only. An
amendment was adopted as substitute
for the report providing that if the
word 'laymen" applied to del
egates is not interpreted by a two
thirds vote of the annual conferences

The National Fish Hatchery.

From the St. Johnsbury Caledonian
Aspecial despatch from Gen. circuit
to the Caledonian announced that
St. Johnsbury would have the loca-
ton of the national fish hatchery
which he had secured for Vermont.
1t will be remembered that the last
Congress appropriated $4,000 for a
national hatchery in Vermont and
that Col Mcdonald, national fish
commissioner, has been here looking
for a site. The site that has ceen Sc
lected is about 30 acres below the
Chickering Falls on the North Dan
Vile road-an ideal place for a hatch
cry. With a plot of 80 acres of land,
a superintendent of the building and
one or more assistants, beside set
of buildings, it will be seen that st.
Johnsbury is indeed fortunate in Sc
curing such an institution, The fish
will be shipped to various parts OF
the country, and it is probable that
Congress will increase the appropria-
ton as the demand requires.
Gen. circuit believes that the hatch
cry buildings will be built before win
ter, and hopes to secure another ap-
preparation of $4,000 in the appro-
priatOn bill soon to come before the
| Senate.

1t is entertaining, if nothing more,
to notice the dispatches from Wash
ington on the Presidential nomina-
ton. Articles written for one journal
have all Blaine coloring, with the as
surance that he will certainly accept
if nominated. From the same central
city of political infuenceis forwarded
the intelligence that Mr.. Harrison
will not only be nominated but that
his nomination will be by acclama-
ton. A third will say that Mr.. Blaine
will not accept under any circum
stances whatever, while a fourth viii
argue that political pressure will com
pei the Maine statesman to yield to
public clamor All these prognosti-
cations fill columns of space, and the
dear public are no wiser after reading
all this speculation than before. tits
a satisfying thought that the Repub-
liean National Convention has the
work to do of selecting a candidate.
Before they name the lucky man,
however, the scores of newspaper
space writer's, who are paid by the
yard as it were, will continue to fill
their papers with entertaining specu-
lation.

A POSSIBLE MURDER
Walter l.. Gardner, Young Farmer,
Missing from Dover, N. H.

Walter L. Gardner, a Young Farmer,
Missing from Dover, N. H.
HAVERHILL, Mass, May 2S-Informa-
ton received in TIN .ty gives rise to a sus.
piclon that another murder has been
committed in New Hampshire Dover is
the scene of the supposed crime, and the
friends of the man who is thought to
have been murdered are now making
preparation for searching for his body.
The first intimation that friends in this
city had of the alleged crime was letter
received from Henry F. Gardner of New
York city, brother of the deceased, which
stated that he had just received a letter
from his mother, Mrs. Samuel A. Davis OF
Gambia, n. H., which contained the in
formation that her son, Walter L. Gard
ner, employed by Mr.. Rounds of Dover
as farm hand, had been missing since
May s, and that she believed that he had
been murdered.
The suspicion that Gardner was MUIR
dered is based upon the fact that two rough
looking men were seen loafing about the
Rounds farm during the day and We're

THE BOYS IN BLUE
BY JULIA r. DEMO.

In eighteen hundred ninety-two,
With love that neer grows cold
We join again our friends in blue
Their story never old
May it be told from shore to shore
So long as time shall last.
Praise to the soldier, Ter and DER,
For deeds done in the past.
Twas in eighteen hundred sixty-one-
How long ago, we say.
Yet, doubtless to the veterans mind
1t seems but yesterday
That the cry rang out through all the North
From east and west it came,
To vanquish evils of the South
Rend slavery's iron chain.
Twas not in vain the cry was heard,
though death and danger they OWNED,
Ana soon, with stars and stripes unfurled,
Men left their treasures all behind
They formed an army, bold and grand,
To set the bonded free;
On Southern soil, with hand to hand.
They fought for liberty.
Though more than thirty years have fed
Since first began that bloody strife,
They hear again the mighty tread
AT sound of marshal drum and fife
They see again those battle-felds,
Those carniyals of death;
They hear the lannon's mighty roar
And feel its scorching breath
Was it alone for selfish greed?
All this for fame or paltry pay?-
Had they not saved these stars and-stripes
What would the North have been to-day
Overwhelmed by selfish mammons' grasps;
BY Southern greed despoied;
A land of bonded slavery
Not free Columbian SOIL
Remember then the boys in blue
On each Memorial Day;
Let not their deeds grow old with time,
Their memory decay;
Contribute little gems of thought,
Rich floral tokens bring,
And think how dearly peace was bought,
While songs ofpraise we'll sing.
To God who gave us native land
And freedom meant for ALL
To men who saved from tyrant's hand
The nations deadly fall
May peace and JOY forever reign,
And this our motto be =
TO love our neighbor as oursef
To all eternity.
When the peaceful home beyond is reached,
On the bright, celestial shore,
Where by-and-by We hope to meet
Dear comrades gone before
There the gallant boys who wore the blue
To save the country from despair,
Will find their deeds in letters bright
Emblazoned on life's record there.
Their ranks are thinning year by year,
The grand army there to SWELL
And when there are none to gather here
The bitter tales 20 tell
May our children's children drop tear
sympathy and love,
And strew with flowers each soldiers grave,
Whose spirit rests with God

Vermont depositors will be inter-
ested in the following sent out from
Washington May 18th: can official
connected with the office of the Comp
troller of the Currency is authority
for the statement that the depOsitors
of the Maverick Bank will be paid 100
cents on the dollar and interest.
Some little time may elapse before
all the claims are settled. as there
will doubtless be some litigation
more or less protracted, and some
of the assets, which are perfectly
good, cannot be realized upon i'm
mediately, but in the end every one
will be paid. This official also says
that no other bank which ever failed
kept its books and affairs in such
good shape as did the Maverick.
There has not been discovered a sus-
picion of false entry or anything
else limiting at crookedress.

The reaction in favor of the Yer
mont farms, predicted when Major
Valentine was Commissioner ofImmi-
grafton and started under that re
gime, has come in some localities
and will affect all in time. The Hart
land correspondent of the Vermont
Journal writes on this point as fol
lows: 1t speaks well for the future
farming interests of this town that
SO many of our young men are set
Ting down on the old farms. You
all know who they are, and they are
a credit to the town. As farmers
are much inclined to grumble at the
low prices that prevail for beef, veal,
potatoes and nearly everything far
mers have to sell. Now let us quote
b few prices from an account book
in our possession which was kept by
Squire Marcy. The book commences
in 1885, and the first account is with
Nathan Mace, against whom, from
May Goth of that year, the following
charges appear: One bushel of pc,
tatoes, Ice; 16 lbs of veal at 2
cents per Id, 32c.; lbs beef at 81
cents per lb, 24c.; 21A lbs salt pork
at &c. per lb, $1.29. These are a
few of the charges on the first page
of the book. Prices seem pretty well
up now as compared with the above.
The last charge, June 18th, 1888, is
against Geo. l.. Hadley. TO driv-
ing out his turkies from my land,
15c. This seems higher accordingly
than potatoes at ] &c. per bushel.

The Democratic party has found
out that to carry on the great works
of this Government requires money
at the rate of billion dollars every
two years. They have not dared to
openly torego any of these great
works, knowing the pride the PEG
pie take in them. They have injured
many of them by a niggardly parsi-
mony in details and the people will
condemn them for that. Yet, they
are spending more of the peoples
money than did the "billion dollar
Congress.
