dams the trip was made at government
expense, and q report was subsequently
submitted showing that the Indians
were not quite so deeply distressed as
had been rumored. However, some
legislation was deemed necessary, and a
slight appropriation was finally made to
aid the movement for the Introduction
OF reindeer into Alaska. An effort was
made to authorize an Alaskan junket
this season, but a majority Of the sena-
tors failed to give their support to the
movement, and IL was abandoned.
Although these annual '~'junkets" At
the government expense are sometimes
severely criticised by the press and pub
lie il is probable that In most instances
the money spent Is we'll invested. After
all, there is no method OF obtaining In
formation so accurate as personal OBJ
servation, and the Congressman who
visits the points TO be investigated and
sees with his own eyes the necessities
that have been reported TO him, Is not
only more wildly impressed with their
Importance, but he Is able TO more In
telligently discharge his duties as a law
maker. Possibly a little more simple
ity and conom might be observed by
those who are thus tntrusted with care
OF public interests aud the expenditure
OF public money. But It Is a reassuring
fact that the tendency In recent years
has been steadily In that direction. The
average Congressman OF to-day Is tenn
perate in his habits and moderate In his
style OF living.
Whatever may have been the extrav-
aganee, recklessness and occasional dis
sipation Of public men In the past, those
OF today are Just as careful, conscien-
tious and economic In the expenditure
Of public funds as in the use OF their
own private means. Occasionally there
may be an exception. ! remember that
a few years ago a Congressional funeral
made 1t necessary for an escort OF mem
bers to accompany the body Of the de-
ceased across the continent. A special
car was chartered, and the usual sup
plies for the comfort Of the party were
provided. The outward journey was
quiet and uneventfnl, a. everybody ex-
pected, and no occasion ever witnessed
any more rigid observance Of all pro-
prIeties.
But the restraint OF the long journey
was too much even for dignifed and Sc
date congressman, and upon the return
after the funeral was owe some OF the
iunketers, IL is said, INDUCED In fire.
ouent Hbations that attracted attention
along the route. A female temperance
lecturer who followed 10 the wake OF

days later that the railroad tracks were
lined with empty bottles thrown over
board by the returning Official mourn
ers, and that their orgies were disgrace
fol. The charges were emphatically
denied, and IL was afterward demon
strated that she had beeu guilty OF

worthy of consideration, and the exte-

WASHINGTON, May 4.-This is the be-
ginning OF the season Of Congressional
'junkets." That is the name given to
the official trips of Senator'S or Repre-
sentatives made during h recess or
after adjournment for purposes OF In
ouIry and investigation" This method
of obtaining official information has
become quite popular in recent years
since travel is so cheap and the convent
epces OF the tourist so numerous and
satisfactory. Osly this week a Senate
rial Committee left for the Pacific coast
for the purpose Of selecting u deep wa
ter harbor for government improve
ment somewhere between San Diego
and San Francisco. Lower California
is q pleasant region, and at this season
of the year it Is especially delightful.
1t will take the committee several
weeks to inspect the various points
along the coast that offer advantages In
the way of a harbor. and while the OH
cial duty is being discharged the mem
bers will have abundant opportunities
to enjoy themselves. Later in the sea-
son another committee will visit some
of the Indian reservations In the north
west to ascertain how the noble red
man is progressing and what his imme-
date needs may be in the way OF ma
tlonal legislation. The trip will not be
made until the weather becomes q little
warmer. Then a temporary solourn In
the northwest will be more pleasant.
Usually these trips are made In q
special car to such points as may be
reached by railroad, and IL IL is desired
to extend the journey to points of the
line a comfortable carriage or stage
coach is brought into requis:tion.
A favorite object of summer inquiry
for Congressman is Alaska. 1t Is cool
up there, and the sight OF icebergs and
sub. polar SHOWS Is refreshing In the
summer time. The last Congressional
O Il TO the far northwestern possess
ions OF the United States was two years
ago. AT that time it was suspected
that the Alaskan Indians were In a de-
plorable condition from scarcity OF food
and Ill treatment by white traders, and
some Of the Senators concluded that
an investigation was necessary.

In the dim realm I wandered through,
The shadow land OF sleep.
Came many souls OF lovers true, :
tryst unknown to keep.
There came the God OF Dreams to rule
His phantom kingdom DER.
AND roses whits and WONDERFUL
And ghostly lilies bore.
And as I wandered, loneliest
The spirits free among,
Unto oil those whose love WAS blest
Tue faireSt flowers he lung.
Then I caught his garments floating hem,
Murmuring bitterly:
king, all the daylight is for them
And hast thou nsught for me-"
An instant IS l stayed him there
He looked upon my face,
Before his garments fold OF air
Melted from my embrace
Then, swifter than ashsdow flies,
He passed, and no flower fell
But his eyes were as my lost loves eyes,
Looking a last farewell.

Several new cases of cholera were
reported at Berlin Jan. "a, at the Met
leben lunatic asylum near Halle, in
Prussian SaxOny. Two suspicious
cases of sickness are reported in the
neighboring village of Trotha.
The Boston Journal says it is inform
ed an autopsy on the body of Gen.
Butler showed that the cause of death
was the bursting of a small blood yes
sci, caused by violent fit of cough
ing. All the internal organs were in
excellent condition.
A sleigh with party of six return
ing home to Passasic, N. j.. one night
recently, was struck by an Erie Rail-
road locomotive at the Monroe St.,
crossing in Passasic half an hour af-
ter midnight. Two women dead, a
man and woman dying, one badly
hurt, are the results There was no
fagman nor gate at the crossing. The
locomotive completely demolished
the sleigh and killed the two horses.
A dreadful accident occurred at a
crossing near Lonsdale, r. l., on the
Providence and Worcester railroad
about 1 80 O'Clock in the morning. A
sleighing party from Pawtucket re-
turning from dance and supper at
WOOnSOcket was struck by the loco
motive of a freight train. Eight per-
sons were instantly killed and sixteen
injured. Of the injured it is feared
eight or ten will die.
A frightful accident occurred Jan.
21. at Alton Junction, ILL.,, on the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and
ST. Louis railroad. The limited ex-
press from St. Louis, running forty
miles an hour, ran into an open switch
and dashed into freight train con-
tanning a number of loaded oil tanks.
The oil caught fire and seventeen pas
sengers were instantly killed or burn
ed to death. Richard Grattan, "a switch
man who was responsible for the ac-
cident, took to the woods and has not
been found. Property valued at $780,,
600 was destroyed.
All places of amusement were closed
at Denver, Col, Jan. %, by the order
of the police board, and the proprie-
tors we're arrested and placed in Jail.
The police were forced to make the
arrest by Rev. III. M. Hart Dean. of
the Episcopal church, who has inaug-
urated crusade against Sunday
amusements and insists upon the en-
forcement of the law. After the thea
tiers were closed immense crowds
gathered on the principal streets and
talked the matter over. Suddenly
move was made for Dean Harris house,
and in short time about 1000 persons
surrounded it, and after hooting, stones

Horace Robinson, prominent citi-
zen of Milton, dropped dead of heart
disease last Friday morning, aged
sixty one years. He had been in his
usual health up to the moment of his
death.
Mrs Anna Lamson Dubois died sud
denly JAM 81, at the home of Hon. w.
HI. Dubois, her son, at West Ran
dolph, with whom she has lived for
the past twenty years. Her parents
were the earliest settlers in the town
of Randolph.
Rev. Alfred Stevens,D. D., familiar
ly known as ''Father Stevens" died
suddenly Jan. 20, at his home in West
minister. He was eighty three years
of age, and for fifty nine years had
been pastor of the Westminster Con-
gregational church, the longest con-
tinuous passionate ever held in Yer
mont.

ernor Fuller under an act of the last
legislature entitled can act to estab
lish boundary line monuments be-
tween Vermont and Massachusetts,

William Stevens of Montgomery
was arrested recently and taken to
St. Adams and put under $500 bonds
for appearance at the April term of
the County court. He is charged with
cutting horses threats, manning live
stock, setting fires, etc., and has an
noyed the people of Montgomery a
long time.
The Central Vermont has added six
monster freight engines to it's equip
ment during the past week. The
pressure of the freight traffic on this
line has never been equaled at this
season of the year, and the motive
power has been inadequate to handle
the business. Four of these .moguls
were purchased and two were hired
from the Adirondack road.
The ''Green Mountain Flyer' was
derailed last Monday afternoon just
after leaving Rutland, and three
coaches rolled down siXty-foot en-
bankment. The accident was caused
by the spreading of the rails at a de-
fective junction where they were held
together by fish bar. E. L. Cobb of
w allingford, travelling salesman for
H. w. Spur & Co., Boston, was in
stantly killed, and Mrs. Herbert w.
Curtis of Rutland sustained serious in
juries. The escape of the other pas
sengers in the wrecked coaches from
death or serious injury was miracu-
lous.
Mrs. Lucy (Whitney) Wood of
Barre, the Oldest woman in Vermont
and perhaps in the United States, eel
ebrated her 10Y birthday Jan. Is. A
large number of friends and relatives
and some strangers called upon her to
extend their congratulations and
were received with charming grace
and entertained in way worthy of
queen at court. The occasion was one
long to be remembered, and Mrs. Wood
looks forward confidently to many
more returns of her birthday ami

of the bill. Republicans do not, of
course, believe in one man legisla-
ton, but if one man is to prepare a
tariff bill the most of them would
prefer Carlisle to any other democrat;
he will make democratic, bill, and
that is what republicans want to see,
believing that the inevitable result
will be the return of the control Of
the government to the republican
party.
The House committee on the cleo
ton of president and vice-president
has made favorable report on the
bin for the repeal of federal election
laws. The House will almost certain
ly pass this bill, but it will be use
less showing of the party cards, as
there is no probability that it will
even get before the Senate at the
present session. The attempt to pass
this bill through the Senate of the
next Congress is certain to result in
one of the bitterest and most prolong-
ed Parlimentry fights of the time, as
the republicans will feel justified in
resorting to any honest method to
defeat it.
The republican Senators have in
caucus agreed to disagree on the sill
yer question, and to leave every Sena-
tor to vote as he may feel disposed.

COURAGE AND CowARDICE.
From tho wooster Jacksonlan.

Clark is a reputed bully, and has va
rious places for burying his dead; but
one of these days he will push out his
hand to his final LUCK. He is an ill
grained, ill-conditioned wretch, and has
stupeted his decency, if ever he had
any, by living in the rank climate of a
vicious temper. General Sherwood is a
high-mipded, honorable gentleman, of
genial and peaceful disposition, and it
Is both private and public outrage
that, not only his feelings, but his body
should be hurt by the cOwardly assault
of such q Jesuit as Clark. Courts and
juries are inadequate to supply proper
reparation in instances Of this kind,
for, by what rule can you measure the
depth of the indignity offered to the
feelings of a gentleman, the chagrin
that must necessarily follow an assault
that was premeditated In the vicious
ness of revengeful man, and of
which the assaulted party had not q
scintilla of warning? Or, by what rule
estimate the damage IN dollars for
murderous blows, whether aimed with
fatal intent or not, but which, in their
legitimate effect, result in physical suf-
fering, disastrous loss of time and ina
bility TO transact business? Courage
respects it's own TeputatiOn; coWardice
is reputationless. Clark's character and
conduct agree like two sinking breaths,
He would sell the grass that grows IN
the streets of plague-stsieken city.

England celebrated the three score
and fourteenth birthday of Queen
Victoria, yesterday. Victoria has been
a good all-around woman and o model
Of old-fasa ioned homely virtues TO all
her people.
The limited powers exercised by
Britian's sovereign under a constitu-
tional monarchy she has never tran
scended or abused; she has encouraged
literature and has written fair books
herself; she has cultivated the domestic
arts aud her faVorite occupation is
knitting socks for the poor, as shown
by her photograph, taken IN homely
garb, in circulation among her own
reople; she has brought up noble
daughters and through them estab-
lished the South Kensington School of
Embroidery and Art, whose influence
has permeated every land, working an
entire revolution in woman's hand
work in India, as well rs England and
America.
She has known how to hold her
tongue, and at the same time hold the
respect and confidence Of her people.
She is plain, upright, honest, deVOut
and homely, in the good old-tashioned
meaning of the term,
She has brought up a good Demo-
cratic family of sons and daughters s
and grandsons and granddaughters
and ii there is a black sheep in the
flock it Is in the line of personal short
comings and not of odious domineer-
ing over popular rights.
She is conservative, yet earnestly de-

She stands high In the confidence OF
