The residents of the little city of Bruins
wick, Ca, are in as pitiful a plight as
could well be imagined. When yellow
fever broke out there a month ago, every.
body who could, fled the city. There now
remain 1000 people, three-fourths of whom
are colored. Around them sanitary cor
don has been drawn, and 20 person is al
lowed to enter the city or depart from it.
Among the people thus shut in the fever is
doing its deadly work and they are engag-
ed in a face-tO-face fight with the conta-
gion. They are almost wholly dependent
on outside aid for sustenance. When the
full extent of this wretchedness first be-
came known not a full days stock of ra-
tions remained, but there has since been a
generous response from the North, which
will undoubtedly assure them proper sup
ply until the frosts put an end to the dread
full visitation.

MINOR NOTES.

Seven hundred delegates met at Purcell,
l. t., Saturday, and notwithstanding that
three races and three political parties were
represented the sentiment was unanimous
in asking for the union of Indian Territory
and Oklahoma as one state. A population
of 100000 is claimed.
The 11th census has been placed in the
hands of Carroll d. Wright, who will COM
plete it, performing the work in connection
with his duties as commissioner of labor.
By resolution passed in the House the
time for finishing the work was extended
to June 30, 1894.
There is but S65, 900 in the Texas state
treasury with which to meet obligations
amounting to S150,OO0, and Gov. Hogg has
requested that the clerks in the various
departments and all county and district
officials permit the state the use of their
salaries for 30 or 60 days to tide over the
difficulty.
Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross soci-
ETY. has established her headquarters at
Beaufort, S. c., where she will devote her
self to the relief of the storm-stricken
colored people. She says that "this inn
plies the housing, feeding, clothing and
nursing of 10000 people for eight months,
with no aid from the government and no
fund but the direct charity of the Ameri-
can people"
Prof. Edward S. Holden, director of
Lick observatory, gives in the October Fo-
rum an absorbing account of the wonder
full new star discovered in 1892. This
star, which resembles our sun, blazed uI
to an astonishing brilliancy within a few
days of its discovery, then gradually disap
peared, and subsequently reappeared as {
nebula. The changes of light and heat i
developed, if repeated in the case of oul
own sun, would mean a quick end of th'
human race and the immediate extinction
of all life upon this earth.

"startIing" and "DIsreputabIe."

THE fact that. with all these things in our ia
vor, we are still not absolutely sure of success,
would be startling if we did not know the desper-
ate and disreputabe methods which confront us.
Our opponents, vanquished in every argument
worthy of presentation to the reason OF our
countrymen, have appealed to their passions and
prejudices through the distribution of the most
impudent lies concerning the record and action
of our party and its candidates. This however
is not their main reliance Nor is it our greatest
danger 1t is confession most humating to
American citizenship, that, with a cause so thor
oughly intrenched in reason. and commencing it.
self so clearly to the intelligence of patriotic
Americans, we daily hear predictions of Republi-
can success, based upon the ability of that party
to purchase the votes of the people. little re-
hection il seems TO me, cannot fail to arouse the
American conscience to the wckedness as well as
the peril OF debauched suffrage"
The above is a paragraph from a speech
which Grover Cleveland made in LenOX ly-
ceum last November, just one week before
presidential election. The utterance was
sharply and widely criticised at the time as
being in the worst possible taste, coming
from a candidate for the presidency on the
eve of election. 1t was a direct accusa-
tion that the Republicans had bought the
election, and many people believed that,
when Mr. Cleveland made this speech, he
thought himself defeated and took this
way of discountng the result. But in the
face of all this, it now proves that at that
very time one man had given $4,000 to
the Democratic fund 'to purchase the
votes of the people," and now President
Cleveland, the author of those words of
elimination and denmciation, with full
knowledge of the facts, has rewarded the

View England Fnrmers Prosrerous


The Homestead of Springfield, Mass,
has made a careful study of the subject of
New England farms and farmers, and as a
result presents interesting and surprising
facts. Out of every 100 farms in the six
states So are cultivated by their owners
and only 10 rented or worked on shares.
There is no indebtedness on three-fourths
of all the farms cultivated by their owners.
The number Of New England farms is
smaller by 1900 than 10 years ago. The
average decrease for the six states is eight
per cent, ranging from four in Maine to -
in Rhode Island. In Vermont the decrease
was SO per cent. The Homestead points
out that this decrease is a natural result
not to be deplored, for there are still thou
sands of farms cultivated which it would be
better economy to convert into pasture or
woodland, restricting culture to the small
er, more fertile and more easily worked
lands that will yield larger profit. Farm
ers are learning to cultivate that land
which gives the best returns, and they are
also learning that good cultivation of a
small area is more profitable than the
shiftless scratching over of large areas.
The outlook for the New England farmer
was never brighter than at the present
time

The New johnson.

The second volume of the revised edition
of Johnson's Cyclopedia has now been
issued, carrying the list of topics alphabet
ically down to a sketch of Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish statesman. The book presents
very handsome appearance as it is open
ed, with broad pages, large, clear type,
good illustrations and excellent maps.
Prominent in this volume is the account,
by the editor in-chief, President Charles
Kendall Adams of the University of Wis
consin, of the Columbian Exposition, with
a map of the grounds and engravings of all
the principal buildings.
The new johnson is receiving warm
commendation from scholars and compe-
tent critics. Prof F. J. Turner, who holds
the chair of American history in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, says: "The general
plan, and the way in which it has been
carried out under the eminent specialists
who have it in charge, are admirable.
Having examined the first volume, | have
reason to appreciate particularly the way
in which the historical articles are brought
up to date, both in reliance on recent au-
thOrties and inclusion of recent history.
The sound and discriminating judgment
of the editor-in-chief is particularly note
worthy"
The sale of the work locally, it will be
remembered, is in charge of Mr.. w. E.
johnson, who may be addressed at East
Putney, or at the Brooks House, Brattle-
horO.

tending the recent Valley fair at Brattle-

was not very conducive to enthusiasm, and
tended to freeze the spirit of enjoyment,
but the second day vas one of those warm
balmy days in which ones enthusiasm
could reign supreme. The writer is farmer

good horses, cattle, swine, etc. (no preten-
sions to fine points,, and freely grants to
each and every exhibitor the perfect right
to be proud of his ownership.

A ScandaIOus Transaction.
From the New York Tribune.l

Mr.. Cleveland is plainly involved in a
scandalous transaction. There is unim-
peachable evidence that he knew of the
Van Allen $4,000 subscriptions. Not
only was he told of them by his friends,
Horace White and r. w. Glider, but the
information was conveyed to him as long
ago as last June in letter from Mr.. Whit
ney, wherein the ex-secretary pleaded that
the gift of money should not debar Van
Allen from the office to which he aspired.
Mr. Cleveland knew that there was moth
ing in Mr.. Van Aliens career sufficient to
justify his appointment, and on the con-
fessed state of facts he knew that behind
the application there was nothing what
ever but big sum of money given to Sc
cure his own election to the presidency.
The appointment discredits him and af-
fronts the American people.

The body of Richard A. Proctor, the
astronomer, was transferred Tuesday from
its grave in an obscure part of Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y, TO its final
resting place at the foot of a granite mon
ument erected to his memory by George
Washington Childs of the Philadelphia
Ledger. Prof. Proctor, who had then TAX
en- up his residence in Florida, sickened
and died of yellow fever in New York city
in September, 1889, and was buried in the
family lot of personal friend. Mr.. Childs,
who knew him well, has now caused his
burial place to be duly marked and hon

Highvvater Mark at Gettysburg.
From the Burlington Free Press.


The monument at Gettysburg, showing
the highwater mark of the rebellion, con-
slsting of large bronze book resting upon
a granite base and a pyramid of cannon
balls, has been completed. Upon the
leaves of the book is a description of the
assault and upon the side of the granite
base are bronze tablets recording the
names of the Union and Confederate troops
engaged in the battle at this point.
Among those inscribed upon the Union
tablet are the Sd brigade, Sd division, 1st
army corps, consisting of the 18th, 14th
and 10th Vermont regiments commanded
by Brig, Gen. George j. Stannard, and the
Vermont companies F, 1st regiment, and
E and H, I'd regiment, United States
sharpshooters. This monument will
therefore have a peculiar interest for
Vermonters and especially for the old
soldiers of the Green Mountain state.

A number OF Photographic plates taken

A number of Photographic plates taken
by former Washington photographer,
Alexander Gardner, during the war, have
recently been found in that city, and are
of much interest. Included in the collec-
tion are plates of Lincoln, Sumner, Stan
ton, Chase, Wilson, Greeley, Grant, Nc
Clellan, Beecher, Agassiz and many 9TH
ers, all from life. There is also one of
John Wilkes Booth, which is thought to
be copy, as Edwin Booth bought up and
destroyed all the negatives of the assassin
known to be in existence. OF Mr.. Lincoln
there are negatives in five or six different
positions. Many of the photographs are
of officers and soldiers of the armies of
the Cumberland and the Potomac, and
Federal officials prominent in war time.

The Van Allen Appointment.

The scandal regarding the appointment
of James j. Van Allen to the Italian mis-
sion, in payment for his contribution of
$4,000 10 the Democratic campaign fund
last year, grows worse the more the facts
come out. Horace White, editor of the
New York Evening Post, and an intimate
friend of Mr.. Cleveland, says that last
spring, when Van Aliens appointment
was first talked about, he and Richard
Watson Glider editor of the Century,
foresaw what scandal it would make,
and these two political purists started a
scheme to raise $4,000 to pay back Van
Aliens contribution so as to relieve Mr..
Cleveland of any obligation to him, but
the hard times came on and the movement
fell through. One account has it that the
bargain for the contribution and the ap-
pointment was made through VIM. C..
Whitney, Mr.. Cleveland's secretary of the
navy during his first term as president,
and the manager of his campaign last
year, but this Mr.. Whitney denies. The
excuse that Mr.. Cleveland was "misled''
! by the leaders of his party into making
/ the Van Allen appointment has, however,
been effectually exposed and demolished.
Mr.. Cleveland knew perfectly well that

Are the Laws at Fault
from the Boston Record.l

The state of Massachusetts, is beginning
to find that in our courts and processes, as
now arranged, the man or woman who can
employ able counsel can hardly be con-
victed of anything. If the juries convict,
an appeal is had and the whole thing put
over until long enough to get the public
feeling lessened. 1t may be, of course,
that all the indictments drawn by the
grand juries are faulty and innocent people
are charged with crime without considera-
tion, but so wide divergence of opinions
as exists between grand juries and our trial
courts is wOnderful and striking.

The situation in Congress.

The dull and turgid stream of talk in the
Senate on the silver question continues,
with the end seemingly no nearer in sight
than a month ago. The talk of the week
has been of a compromise as the only solu-
tion. The out-and-out silver men declare
that absolute repeal can never be carried,
while the Presidents supporters profess to
be in favor of insisting on repeal as the
first step, with no compromise. There is
undoubtedly a clear majority of II or 10
in the Senate in favor of repeal, could the
question be brought to a direct vote, and
the country is beginning to tire of the
spectacle of little handful of silverites
prolonging the so-called debate and pre-
venting vote because the tradition of
" senatorial courtesy" stands in. the way
of it.
In the House the repeal of the elections
bill is under discussion, with the 10th inst.
fixed as the date of vote. The threat of
the silver senators is to bring that partisan
measure to the front when it reaches the
Senate, and use it to defeat the silver re-
peal bill.

Col. e. Ely Goddard on the Toboggan

The financial fortunes of "Col" Ely Ely
Goddard have taken another turn for the
worse. A few days ago Mr.. Goddard con-
fessed judgment for S742 in favor of Tiffa-
ny & Co., for jewelry purchased several
years ago. Mr.. Goddard's lavish expen-
ditures in this state while he owned the
copper mine at Vershire are well remem-
bered. After going from Vermont he lost
most of his fortune in Wall street. He
married a wealthy widow, the daughter of
a New York banker. Mr.. Goddard came
into notoriety in 1891 by reason of a suit
brought by Newport bank against his
wife. Goddard opened an account at the
bank for Mrs. Goddard and both drew
against it. Finally the amount of the
overdrafts reached more than $1,000. 1t
was said that Mrs. Goddard had repudiated
all the drafts except those drawn in her
own name. The case was set for trial in
the supreme court, but Mrs. Goddard set
tied with the bank. Mrs. Goddard died
abroad in February, 1892, and the club men
of New York made up purse to send God
dard there to care for the remains.

The Chicago university is feeling the
financial stringency severely. The abrog-
alton of the lease of the Wisconsin
Central railroad to the Northern Pacific is
an important factor, and it is understood
that very large part of the million dollars
or more given by John Rockefeller was in
bonds issued on this road. These securi-
ties sold at par when the gift was made.
Since then they have gone down as
low as 2S Another setback was caused
by the failure of several rich friends to
make good promised donations. In GER
tain way this appears to be the history
of John Hopkins University and its Ches-
apeake Ohio railroad stock over again.
