CHEAPER FUNERALS.

It costs good deal to live and 1t costs a
good deal to die and be buried. And
many family that feels obliged to keep
down to the lowest possible point the cost
of living takes pride in making an expen-
sive funeral when any of its members dies.
This pride is supported by the wish to
show respect to the dead and regard for
the opinions of the neighbors. In order
to do this many families assume burden
some debts and make it harder than ever
for themselves to live. There has been a
good deal Of protest against this custom,
but it hasn't had much effect. A new and
interesting attack on it is about to
be made by Miss Sarah E. Full
Ter of New York and others.
The idea is to assist poor people in provid
ing neat, respectable funerals for their
dead relatives sts'he owest possible cost.
A plot of ground in the neighborhood of
New York will be purchased as cemetery
for those who cannot afford to buy burial
plots in Greenwood or Calvary. Contracts
will be made with co fin makers and car
riage owners at reasonable prices. For
500 it is hoped to provide all the re-
quirements of a first-class funeral, suoh as
would ordinarily cost five times that sum.
For $12 very plain funeral could be held.
As many of the people for whose benefit
the society is to come into existence cannot
pay 500 at one time, certificates will be is
sued to them on the payment of 81 and the
remainder may be paid off by small install
ments. Certificates may be obtained
at any time, and any installments,
however irregular, will be accepted.
Should the subscriber desire to get the
money back at any time it will be refund
ed. The society will own its hearae and
will get cofins and carriages at about one
half the current prices, according to Miss
Fuller's estimates. The Kings Daughters,
who have hitherto devoted their work en-
tirely to the living, will contribute flowers
free and make shrouds. They will also
furnish choir music at the funeral services,
and where male choristers are desired they
will be supplied by the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew. Several clergymen have volun-
teered to oficiate at the society's funer-
ais.
This scheme does not strike us as entire.
" promising. The poor may not be will
| ing to take advantage of it, and those who
profit by expensive funerals cannot be de-
pended on to help 1t much.

The Democrats who have been fatterine
themselves that the Republicans of Con-
necticut are apathetio this year will
soon be undeceived. There is an unusu-
ally large number of representative Repub.
icsns present at the State convention,
and they are full of enthusiasm and zeal.
There will be rousing meeting to-day,
and those who take part in it will go to
their homes and pitch into work for the
State and national tickets in a way that
will tell
Good progress was made last evening
toward picking out those who are to stand
with General Merwin on the State ticket.
There was free and lively discussion, but
no disposition to quarrel. We shall have
an unusually strong ticket. General Mer-
win never stood better with the people of
the State than he does now, and those who
are eager to see the wrong that has been
done him righted are not confined to his
own party. He will poll big vote. If
Colonel Cheney is nominated for the
second place on the ticket, as now seems

every way worthy of the honor, and We
regard his nomination as the very best
thing that can be done.
Governor Bulkeley's part in the pro-
ceedings is very important one. He is
heart and soul for the denomination of
General Merwin and will do his best to
help right the wrong which the Democrats
have maliciously accused him of trying to
profit by. His attitude throughout the
whole controversy has been firm, honest
and manly, and because of it he speaks to
the Republicans of Connecticut with pecu-
liar power.
The State campaign will get fine start
to-day. The ticket and the platform will
both be thoroughly good.

The Last Eve OF Summer.

Summers last sun, nigh unto setting, shines
Through yon columnar pines,
And, on the deepening shadows Of the lawn,
Its golden lines are drawn.
Dreaming of long gone summer days like this,
Feeling the winds soft kiss,
Grateful and glad that failing ear and sight
Have still their old delight,
sit alone and watch the warm, sweet day
Lapse tenderly away;
And wistful, with a feeling Of forecast,
TASK, SIS this the last:
"Will nevermore for me the seasons run AZ
Their round, and will the sun
OF ardent summers yet to come forget
For me to rise and setf"
Thou shouldst be here, or I should be with the
Wherever thou mayst be,
Lips mute, hands clasped, in silences OF speech
Each answering unto each.
At this still hour which hints Of mystery far
Beyond the evening star,
No words outworn suffice from lip or scroll;
The soul would fain with soul
Wait, while these few, swiftpassing days fulfil
The wise, disposing Wnb
And, in the evening as at morning, trust
The All Merciful and Just.
The solemn joy that soul-communion feels;
Immortal life reveals;
And human love- its prophecy and sign,
Interprets love divine.
Come then in thought IL that alone may be,
o friend and bring with thee
Thy calm assurance or transcendent Spheres,
And the Eternal YearsI

The admirable and powerful letter Of
acceptance written by President Harrison,
in which he gives Mr.. Blaine full credit fol
his part in the great work of increasing
and protecting the business prosperity OF
this country, is closely followed by a letter
from Mr.. Blaine in which he discusses the
issues of the campaign. The Democrats
were not pleased with the Presidents let
ter. They will not like the letter
of Mr.. Blaine, for in it he deals sledge-
hammer blows against the free trade policy
of the Democratic party. He shows in q
conclusive way the inconsistency, the
weakness and the foolishness of that pol

ideas of the Democrats.
