The Society is probably the best of
its kind ever established here. 1t
takes only what money it can safely
invest. Its holders of paid-up stock
are small capitalists, and of current
stock still smaller. Its borrowing
members are builders of homes, and,
altogether, those in interest are doing
more for each other and for the town
than any other body of men in it.
The mechanism of the Society is pure
ly cooperative. A number of small
sums are weekly combined and con-
centrated in some good quarter and
the results yearly divided at an equal
rate to all. The plan affords the legal
rate of interest to investors, and, by
compromising, costs the borrower less
than the legal rate.

With everyone who has lost a son

pathizes as one who has several times
gone with dear little ones and bade
them farewell at the Threshold of the
valley of the shadows.
We know how the heart of each has
been touched and how tears have risen
thence to interpret grief otherwise
speechless.
But sorrow is and ought to be short
lived.
Time, the builder of tombs, is also
the architect of that blessed resigna-
alton which would not. after all, call
the loved ones back.
Meanwhile, our duty to the living
is magnifed.
Whatever is epidemic must be more
or less contagious.
Hence, while others are seeking for
and removing primary causes, let us
all take special care to give no
further wing to disease by permitting
its approach, or by going where it is,
or where it may be.

bill. The presidents policy seems to
be wrecked, and the reasonable expec-
tations of the country bitterly disap-
pointed. Democracy, "Ihou art the
man ~!
REPLYING to letter from a member
of the ways and means committee,
General Green b. Raum, who was
commissioner of internal revenue dur
ing two dministratious-and a very
efficient commissioner-expr the
opinion that the government will need
S66, 200, 900 additional revenue to meet
It's present wants. In his judgment, the
easiest and best method of raising this
revenue is to increase the internal rev.
enue taxes upon distilled spirits, malt
liquors and tobacco. The present tax
upon malt liquor is 924 cents per bar.
rel. General Raum would increase the
tax to S1.2S per barrel, increasing the
revenue on this article some twelve
and one quarter millions. He would
recommend an increase of tax on dis
titled spirits to S1.30 per gallon, thereby
increasing the revenue from this source
$3S,000,000. He would advance the
tax on tobacco from six cents per
pound to nine cents per pound, with
corresponding increase of tax upon
cigars and cigarettes, adding from this
source some SIG, 900, 900 to the revenue,
making the total increase from these
articles S66 $50 ,000 General Raum
prefers this method of raising revenue
rather than the levying of an income
tax. The latter way would be cumber-
some and expensive, while the former
would not require the employment of
an additional man and would involve
no material increase of expense. If
this were republican administration,
the prospect of the adoption of General
Raum's recommendation might be
good; but in view of the fact that the
democrats are in power all along the
line and the further fact that rum and
tobacco are the great democratic staples,
the meat and milk, so to speak, that
nourish democracy, the prospect of
raising additional revenue through an
increase of the tax on these articles is
not very bright. A tax on tea, coffee
ard sugar is more probable.

Railway Accident.

THE worst wreck in the history of the
Mobile and New Orleans division of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad occurred at
Gulfport, Miss, last week Thursday. A
passenger train running forty-five miles an
hour struck an open switch and was wrecked.
An investigation by the railroad officers
after the accident showed that the switch,
which had been properly set and locked,
had been opened. The lock was burned off
and thrown away. Three negro tramps
riding on the baggage between the tender
and the baggage car were killed. Another
negro tramp was fatally injured. The en-
gineer and fireman were dangerously in
jured and two postal clerks, the express
messenger and baggagemaster were slightly
injured. The escape of the passengers from
injury seems almost miraculous.

How Business Reyives.

The expectation that there would be
revival of business during the fall
months does not seem to be realized. 1t
was natural to look for an improvement
of trade in those articles that constitute
the necessaries of life." Manufac-
turers had been for months running
their mills with wise regard for the
uncertainties of business under an adj
ministration pledged utterly to destroy
the industrial system of the country.
The store-houses in the great markets
of the country did not contain the i'm
meuse stocks of goods which had been
yearly accumulated under well-estab-
lished and permanent industrial policy.
The stores of the merchants through
out the length and breadth Of the land
had been emptied as far as possible of
the stocks of goods formerly carried
The country merchant, the wholesaler,
and the manufacturer, bad all observed
the danger-signal hung out in Novem-
Der last and hoisted again at Washing
ton on the fourth of March. Notwith-
standing the threat of industrial revolu-
ton proclaimed by the democrats, the
wants of sixty odd millions of people
would impart sort of galvanic energy
on the approach of winter to the trade
IN dry goods and other articles neces-
sary for the support and comfort of hu.
manity. But even this expectation has
been only partially realized. In Fall
River, for example, for the week ended
September 30, there was a falling off
in prices, and the sales were only lit
tie over half the production-and the
production was far short of the usual
output. Manufacturers are ascribing
the slump in prices to the delay in con-
gress to legislate on the financial ques-
ton. This delay, they say, has hurt
the general markets, and orders are
made only for present consumption.
The wages of operatives suffer also I'M
der the existing status, being much less
than under the old order of things.
Although nearly all the mills are nom
inally running, they are producing far
less than their full capacity, and they
have slackened even the slow pace at
which they were manufacturing few
months ago.
A large amount of suffering is en-
tailed upon the operatives by this pro-
longed inactivity, succeeded by a re-
duction in wages. The manufacturers
are, however, unable to prevent this
state Of things, and fear that the sit
uation will be much worse before the
opening of the new year. Some are
already talking of the necessity for still
further curtaiing their operations.
Even the Wool and Cotton Reporter, an
advocate of free wool and somewhat
skeptical of the effect of tariff uncer-
tainties upon business, is now recon-
mending great caution to manufactur-
ers who may be thinking of starting up
their mills. 1t finds little encourage
ment for the hope that the season will
be at all satisfactory. 1t sees no en-
ployment for the manufacturer through
November and December, and urges
that no loom shall be started until
there is a reasonable assurance that no
mistake will be made. This view of
the situation is not exactly cheering,

Buying Office.

Scandal, as well as lncapaclty
amounting almost to imbeciity, marks
the democratic administration. One
j. j. Van Allen of Newport, r.. l., il
lustrated bis zeal and devotion to dem
ocratic principles and his admiration of
Grover Cleveland by contributing $780,
600 to the democratic campaign fund.
The president has nominated Van Allen
ambassador to Italy. 1t is now asserted
that his princely contribution to the
democratic campaign treasury was, in
fact, the purchase price of the Italian
mission. William G. Whitney, the
manager of the democratic campaign,
denies it, which is conclusive so far as
Mr.. Whitney personally is concerned,
but there appear to be others inter
ested in the matter who have not yet
been heard from. 1t appears that
Horace White, the editor of the New
York Evening Post, and Edward Wat
son Glider, poet aud editor of the Cen
tury, both intimate friends and ardent
supporters of President Cleveland,
understand that the Italian mission
was promised Mr.. Van Allen in cOnsd-
Grafton of his contribution of $50, 000
When this matter came to their knowl-
edge they consulted together to devise
means to prevent the scandal that
would result from Mr. Van Aliens ap-
pointment. They agreed that the sum
of $50 600 should be raised and paid
back to Mr.. Van Allen, provided he
would relinquish his claim upon the
appointment. Each proposed to con-
tribute 81 900, and the remainder, it was
found, could be easily raised among
Mr.. Ceveland's wealthy friends in
New York. But Mr.. Van Allen was
not making baby bargains. He wanted
the italian mission, had paid for it, and
proposed TO have it. Therefore the
scheme of Mr.. Cleveland's well-mean-
ing but misguided friends was aban-
doned and the scandal became public.
Mr.. White in this connection enunci-
ates the peculiar doctrine that when a
man has bought aud paid for public
Office he should either have the Office or
his money should be returned. This is
the view of political moralist who has
been one of the most ultra and IN
sparing critics of republicans and Of
almost every act of republican admins
tration. Mr.. Whitney, practical poll
tician, takes a more rational view of
the transaction. He maintains that a
man who buys an Office should lose
both the office and his money. The
episode is an exceedingly embarrassing
one, particularly for the president, Mr..
Van Allen and the immaculate mug
wumps. 1t is further charged that Mr..
Willard, of Northern Pacific fame, con-
tributed $4,000 and that the Berlin
mission was the object of his zeal and
ambition.
