will hold and vote atthe March annual

than that of traffic interest between
Reading, New York & New England and
Boston q Maine, unless the united traffic
operations of the three companies few
years hence warrant a closer union of fl

now seen the three corporations will
rest each upon its own financial base.

great clearance sale, and
Wednesday the store will
be closed for stock TAX
ing.
In many instances these
few remnant lots, which
were not entirely sold out
last week, have been still
further reduced in price,
as we prefer to lose mon
ey on them now rather
than put them on the
inventory books.
For instance the Up
holstery fringes they're
already cut to a small pro-
portion of the real value
but the remnants are
dragging a bit so we'll
halve the price again for
today and tomorrow.
One tablefull of odds
and ends in the bric-a-brac
section is to be closed out
ct half the marked prices.
What's left of the boys

half dozen and that's
much less than the worth
of the material from
which they're made.
A few dozen of striped
Hosiery (women's) are
left, today should see the
last of them.
There'll never be a
chance for getting good
Undercloth'ng for SO lit
tie money again. The
marked down lot is most
ly trimmed with Nuns
work embroidery hand
done---and this at regular
prices is so expensive that
we have found it unproflt-
able to carry in stock, SO
we're going out of keep
ing it. The prices are
cut way down.
A lot of fancy colored
bordered and white Hand
kerchiefs are to go today
at 3 for IS cents.
The Lace nets for
overdresses will be con-
tinued at II 1-2c till they
are sold.
A f e W Children's
Cloaks are yet unsold;
they are marked down
way below value, but we'll
take even less to be rid Of
them quickly.

mainder of the Baby's

In looking over last weeks issue
of THE REPUBLICAN | noticed a
decision that has been rendered at
Washington giving New Jersey the
credit of sending the youngest sol
dier 10 the civil war. Army records
may show that but according to the
age given he was not the youngest
soldier, as the law was such think
that no one could enlist under l6
years Of age and II he did he would
tell something | don't like to ex-
press on paper: but, however, there
were thousands of them that did
enlist under the age Of l6. The
decision shows that this man Cur
tis, a native of New Jersey, was
born on Nav 25th lS47, and en-
listed Sept, /, 1864. Now, accord
ing to this he would have been old
enough to enlist without telling
anything that was not true, which
| don't think was the case with
great many Others.
The writer has never before
claimed TO be the youngest soldier
in Uncle Sans army during tho
civil war but according to the age
of the above would-be youngest SOL
der and laying all army records
aside and take age forit the writer
surely claims to be the youngest, a.
figures will show, that be is'U ncls

THOMAS JEFFERSON TO JAMES
MADISON---A LETTER.
~FOUTAINBLEAU, France,

Oct. %, 1885.
The property of this country
(France) is absolutely controlled in a
very few hands, having revenues Of
from a half a million Of guineas a year
downward. These employ the flower
Of the country as servants, some of
them having as many as two hundred
dOmestics not labOring. They employ
also a great number of manufacturers
and tradesmen, and lastly the class of
laboring husbandmen; but after all
these comes the most numerous of all
the classes-that is, the poor who can
not find work. l asked myself what
could be the reason that so many should
be permitted to beg who are willing to
work, in acOuntry where there is a very
considerable portion of uncultivated
lands. These lands are kept idle mostly
for the sake of game. 1t should seem,
then, that it must be because of the
| enormous wealth Of the p~roprietors,
which places them above attention to
the increase Of their revenues by per
hitting these lands to be labored. I
am conscious that an equal division of
property is impracticable; but, the CON
| sequences of this enormous inequality
producing SO much misery to the bulk
of mankind, legislators cannot invent
toomauy devices for sub dividing prop
erty, only letting their subdivisions
go hand in hand with the natural affec-
tions of the human mind. The descent
Of property Of every kind, therefore,
to all the children, or to ali the broth
ers and sisters or other relations in
equal degree is a poetic measure, and
a practicable n Another means of
silently lesseniDg the inequality of
property is to exempt all from taxation
below a certain point and to tax the
higher portions Of property in geomet-
rical progression as they rise. When
ever there r in any country unculti-
waited lands, and unemployed poor, it
is clear that the laws Of property have
been so far extended as to violate
natural right. The earth is given us a
common stock for man to labor and
live on; if, for the encouragement of
industry we allow it to be appropriated,
we must take care that other employ
ment be furnished to those excluded
from the appropriation. If we do not,
the fundamental right to labor the
earth returns to the unemployed. It
is too soon yet, in country, to say
tina every man who cannot find en-
ployment, but who can find unculti-
waited land shall be at liberty to cult
Vate 1t, paying a moderate rent; but
IL Is not too soon to provide by every
possible means that as few as possible
shall be without a little portion of and
The small land owners are the most
precious part of the State."-See Ran
croft's History of the Co~nstitution
pages 1894, vol. 1, appendix.
