MoHEGAN tribe No. 6, I. o. of R. NJ,

of the most prosperous in the Massachu-

A FEW days ago subscriber came in

back subscription and ordered the paper
discontinued. He observed that it was
tlme to stop taking paper when the
editor was obliged to repeatedly mail
hills for an amnrnt 60 cp,o1I 80
Let us explain. Assume that one thou
sand subscribers desired to be given
three years before paying for their
paper. The total money tied up would
be $4,000. 1t is not reasonable to SUD-
pose that any country newspaper could
long make both ends meet by following
such policy. 1t is not the individual
S4.5O that pays the expenses of the news
paper office, but the aggregate receipts;
and hence If business is done in bust
ness manner, friend and stranger alike
must except frequent remainders of his
Indebtedness when in arrears. To be
angry over small or large bill is puerile.

SINCE the Liberty bell reached Chicago
and was given position of honor in
front of the Administration building, it
has been an object of marked attention
and admiration. Thousands flock about
it daily and request the privilege of ring
ing it. On the day of its dedic ltiOn the !
bell was sounded by each of forty-four
girls attired in garments representing |
the different states of the Union. The |
bell was sounded by means of silken
cord which has almost disappeared, |
pieces of it as mementOs of the occasion |
have been taken by many On Grand |
Army day the veterans marched around |
the bell and the various commanders |
struck it once. The delegates to the |
Congress of Religions passed around the |
bell while it was being tolled in their |
honor. 1t was also sounded by Bar
tholdi, the famous sculptor, who de-
signed the Statue Of Liberty now in New |
York harbor.
JOHN G. CLARK has received letter |
from gentleman, who resides in Lei
cester, England, but written from
France, in which he speaks of an antici-
pated pleasure in meeting Eli Tiffany,
on his return from the Continent. The |
writer of the letter is we'll known to |
some of our people, hence his views of |
the future of manufacturing may be of |
local interest. He says: 81 fear the |
business depression will continue dur
ing the present administration. 1t strikes |
me that the American people voted for |
change, and from what can see they |
have one. And wonder how they like |
it? The tariff must now be abolished in |

fitted by the change and already we feel |
