|. The refusal of the Rev. II. b. McCau.
ley of Newark, N. j., Presbyterian
church to officiate at the funeral of a
child who had died of scarlet fever, max
ing the ridiculous excuse that "his at
tendance could do the child no good"
goes to show that the Rev. Hugh should
drop the Christian ministry and 60 into
life insurance.
The Standard Oil trust announces it's
early dissolution, being chiefly influenced
by popular demand and the recent de-
cision of the Ohio supreme court which
questioned the legality of it's organiza-
ton. The Standard reduced the price
of oil. 1t remains to be seen how the
change from trust to a stock COM
pany will effect the market.
The statement that Gov. Flower of
New York has refused his signature to
any bill which legalizes the opening of
saloons on Sundays, and has declared
his intention to veto uncompromisingly
certain s.boodle' bills for railroads and
bridges until they are amended to a

1t is expected by the government Off
cials that fully $4,000 samples will be
sent for polariscopic tests, representing
some 100000 pounds of sugar on which
S75 900 to 800, 900, bounty will probably
be paid.
And still eminent divines are hammer
ing each other in truly worldly style
over the acceptance of Jay Gould's

While David B. Hill, in the pay of the
United States senate, is whooping it up
in the 'ssolid SOUTH in the interests of
Hill, ex-President Cleveland writes a
dignified letter refusing to allow his
name to be pressed upon the acceptance
of his party, yet Hill will be the favorite
and if not quite strong enough to win.
| will yet be able to defeat Cleveland
quite handily. The truth Of the matter
is that Cleveland is long way ahead Of
his party while Hill is as far behind it
always excepting its Doodle element
which is of course quite considerable.
The Rutland News, aftern oon paper
has been merged into The Morning Call
which grows better with age. In an eX
planation of the reasons of the change
| the News said:
| One week ago last Thursday morning there
| was issued from The News Office the first number
of a new paper. named The Morning Call. 1T
appearance was unheralued. The town woke VI
one morning to find newspaper on its door
steps, and it stayed awake to read it.
Any town which wakes up in the morn
ing and stays awake till night, for what
ever reason, is worthy of Vermont. We
gladly note Rutland's Improvement.
