Now that the people are calmer, those
who condemn the signers Of that paper
by which nearly all Of the Democratic
Senators pledged themselves to support a
bill to limit the purchase Of silver can
see the error Of their haste and the
injustice Of their criticisms II It had
not been for that paper, which procured
the FIRST and only separation Of the
Southern Democrats from the Republi
cans, who were lighting to sell their pig
silver to the government at higher
prices than they could get elsewhere,
would not have been accomp.
lished 1t is really fact, though
not generally known that every
Democratic Senator except one, had
either pledged himself actively or
tacitly to the support Of the plan sug-
gested in that letter to Senator Voor.
hees It was that letter which cleared
the way for the passage Of the Repeal
bill It was that letter which broke the
backbone Of the opposition to the Repeal
bill Il showed the Republicans that
the Southern Democrats were not fight
ing for the sale of pig silver. The Re
publican minority had little interest in
the fight after that The Populists
always had less interest than the Repub
Leans.

ARBOR DAY IN STEPNEY.

Stepney is a pretty village, surrounded when the foliage is full, make the hand s)mcst and most picturesque scenery to be found in Fairfield county. The school lot is large, and much of it has been over grown with scrubby trees and bushes. Last fall few of the more "go-ahead" people of the district commenced the good work of subduing the forest about the school grounds. As ArbOr day ap- preached, this year, the teacher, Miss Hattie A. Sniftin, became interested in tree planting, and explained the subject to her pupils, who in turn excited an in est among their parents and friends. The school lot was cleared eff, several trees transplanted to the grounds around the school house. Several ladies of the dis trict at the request of the teachers, pro- vided a bountiful table for all, in the school house, where about 40 fared sumptu0usly. After dinner, Deputy Sheriff Hayes presided and made a few pleasing introductory remarks, followed by Representative Burr IIawley in neat speech of approval of the days dOiDgs and recommended continuance of the work of beautifying the school grounds. The young men and the young school girls did much towards the success of the occasion. Judge l.. M. Shade of Bridge port, who was spending few days at the "Diamond Farm," was present and responded to a generous call for speech. | He explained the origin of Arbor day and told of the good results that might fol low. He asked the people to keep it's annual remembrance. That outside peo pie would be greatly attracted to the place by it's appearance and especially by well kept school and the handsome churches and residences. As usual, the judge gave full praise to the ladies and said, while it was the first time he had been present at any of their festivities he thought all had been bountifully sup piled with the choicest and best Clay out prepared for any Arbor day in the state, and that it tappeared that more thar seven baskets would be left. Cheers greeted all the speakers and the meeting broke up with the very best of feeling.

TRUMBULL.

WISDOM OF ENJOYING COUNTRY
 CHURCHES.
 By the will of the late Ebert E. Ed wards, Bridgeport hospital is to receive $3000, Iron Side cemetery association $lO0, and the Congregational church $500. The income from 5000 of the latter Is for repairs on the church and parsonage. The wisdom of endowing country churches is more and more ap- parent. The changed social conditions in the country town makes it almost cer- tain that large per cent of the people will eventually find their way to cities. Older families will be replaced, but by others whoses needs may be greater, but whoses means are not sufficient to main- tain strong churches. A few thousand dollars from many an estate would never be missed, while it's income would help determine much for the intellectual, moral, and religious life of community. Not only do churches need to be endow- libraries and reading rooms, and for whatever will certainly benefit future generations. The fathers must look to it or the sons will be sure to leave the country for the city. More truly is this likely to prove true in the fu- ture. Now is the time for many to make wise provision < for those who will live to bless their mem- ories. Few men like to be forgotten. In no way can man more surely pre- serve his name than through his bene- factions. They are always present.

DEATH OF REV MIR OSBORNE.

DEATH OF REV MIR OSBORNE.
 Rev D. Osborne, the patriarch of Meth odsm in this region, died, May 3, aged 79. He has lived in Stepney the last 20 years conseeutively, loved, respected, re- vered as few have been in any comman- ity. In 1884 he was received in the New York conference, but preached that year under the presiding elder, so he was in the ministry 60 years. About 10 weeks ago, without disease, his vital energies began to fail, which no medical skill could arrest. For the last two weeks, he preached about it, sometimes breathed the prayer that has given wings to the departing spirit and often consoled the bereaved, came fully and consciously to understand what it is to die. His mind throughout all this decisive lesson retain ed it's clearness and vigOr. His very last words were, "Part of the host has cross ed the flood, and part are crossing now" On Sunday, the 7th, services were held first at the house, his wife and invalid daughter being unable to go out. The church, crowded beyond the capacity of it's sittings, testified to the universal esteem in which he was held. Addresses were made by the pastor and Rev W. T. Gilbert. Rev Mir Johnson of the Bap- tist church and Rev MT Brown aided in the services. Rev H. L. Wheeler led the Masonic services at the grave. A sprig of evergreen, the emblem of immortality, was cast by each of the brothers upon the coffin. There was tender appro- priateness in all the services that made them most fitting and impressive.
