combine is nearly ready. 1t will show
the aim of the combination is to drive

tain complete control of the anthracite

do this by fixing a high freight rate on
coal, so as to make ii profitable for in
divduals to turn in their product at the
combination. The report will recon-
mend the passage OF the bill heretofore

MRS. r. .. CLEMENT.

DEATH or MRS. II. u. CLEMENT.
The subject Of the following sketch
had large circle of friends in Dan
VILE aud St. Johnsbury for whom
the tribute, written by an associate
OF Mrs. Clement in the pension office
will have a sad interest;
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.-The sud
den death Of Mrs. Eleanor Dole Clement
at 10 O'Clock p. mo yesterday in this
city, has moved in an unusual degree
the hearts Of host of warm friends
AZ the pension Office, it is safe to say
that no one among the two thousand
clerks in this great building could be
more missed than Mrs. Clement At 10
o'clock, while in the discharge Of her desk
duties with that singular iaithiuncss
that elevated her far above the average
clerk, she was taken sick; and soon
showing that it was no mere temporary
indisposltiOn, she was removed to her
residence All that medical skill could
do for her, along with the tender minis
tralions OF her niece. Mrs. Captain Fish
cr. and other loving friends was done;
but Mt 40 p. m January 1871 she
passed away. The cause OF death is
stated as apoplcXy.
II is given to some to die at the height
ofiamc, or on the battle field, or in the
prominence Of influential business posi-
ton. Probably their death may shake
the political world or the stock market.
But in the quiet walk of her life, Mrs.
Clement had made herself part Of the
life OF many; and now that she IS gone,
while no monument OF imposing archi-
lecture NAV be reared over her grave,
there will be numbers Of memorial tab
lets in the hearts OF those she has loved
and helped. Her unobtrusiye manner
her gentle bearing, her real kindness OF
heart, are witnessed ny countless mourn
crs.
The writer gratefully lays on her
grave this tribute and remembering
how her goodness of soul rose above
scctionalism and politics he, Virpiuiau
offers to sorrowiue relatives and friends
In hc own New England home in his
name and that Of other friends of this
region, thc most earnest sympathy.

GENEROSITY CKNoWLEDGfO


Commander Hugh Henry OF the
Vermont G. \. K, who is by the
way president Of the Vermont Sol
diers' Home, writes as follows to
the CALIFORNIAN, in acknowledge
mcut Of generous remembrances
from Chamberlin Post:
EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-Pcrmit me,
through your columns, to acknowledge
with thanks contribution of $2O91
to the chapel fund at the home, from
Chambcrlin Post, received Jan. 8, 1898.
In letter transmitting it, Quartermqster
Moore explains that it was a collection
made last Memorial Sabbath. but he did
not know to whom to remit; hence the
delay. In compiling the annual report
to the legislature we attempted to give
credit for all contributions and Cham
berlin Post was credited with 5000.
Had we then been in possession of the
S209l their credit would have been
$5l6O. So generous a gift deserves the
justice OF public acknowledgement.

A Government Worth Respecting.

"A government WORM Respecting.
President Cleveland and his official
household found, when for the first
time in quarter of a century the re-
publicanS were disposSesSed, that
they had inherited an honestly con-
Quoted and efficiently organized
mechanism OF administration. When
tour years later the responsibility
was given back to the republicans,
President Harrison and his executive
corps again found that this trust had
not been abused during the four
years OF democratic incumbencv.
And now when Mr.. Cleveland re-
turns to power he will receive at the
hands Of his retiring predecessor an
administrative machine that has
been improved, rather than disor-
dered, during the past four years.
Viewed in this light, the three recent
changes from one party to the other
will have been beneficial to the coun-
try, for they are greatly enhancing
the respect of all our citizens for the
government itself and for The men
who are called upon to administer
it. Review of Reviews.
