Charles IIISscy.

DER town loses an aged and respected
resident by the death of Mr.. IIussey,
which occurred on Monday evening last,
Nov. IL, after an illness of several
weeks. He had been in feeble health
for some years. He was IA native of Vas
salboro, but came to this place from
IIallowell some thirty years ago. He
WAS tanner by trade and worked for
the late John Nosmus. He was an in
dustrious man, and one who was es-
teemed by all who knew him. All
speak kindly of his life and work. He
was constant attendant at the Uni
versalist church, and II faithful support
er of its interests. He was twice mar
ried. His first wife was Miss Salome
Soule, of New Portland. He leaves one
son by this wife, Alphonzo, of Lowell,
Mass, who was with his father the last
two weeks of his life. His second wife,
Miss .tdeline Paine, of New Portland,
survives him. The funeral takes place
this, THURSDAY, afternoon, at half past
one, Rev. c. V. Hanson officiating.

Worse and Worse.

The more the Administration sud
denly announced Hawaiian policy is eX-
amined, the more shameful and indie
feasible it becomes. For one thing, it
bears the marks of cowartlice. The re-
port, which was ostensibly prepared by
Secretary Gresham, is dated Oct. Is
That its terms were Immediately adopt
ed by the President, even if they were
not dictated by him, is plain from the
fact that the new Minister, who was
charged with their execution, started
from Washington more than two weeks
ago, and has already been some days
in Honolulu. Meanwhile, the extraor-
binary nature of his instructions was
carefully kept from the knowledge of
the country. Why all this secrecy !?
There is ouly one conceivable answer:
An election was impending, and Presi-
dent Cleveland did not dare to submit to
the American people his mad scheme to
restore a corrupt barbaric monarchy.
1t is well for him that he did not do so,
or as sure rs the sun rises and sets he
would have been overwhelmed by the
most terrific rebuke ever visited upon Il
national Administration.-Er

COUNTY

Notwithstanding the financial panic
of last summer. and the consequent
scarcity of money this fall. the taxpaye-
ers of Custer county appear TO be nearly
as we'll fixed as in former years. Though
the delinquent list will this year be
double in amount. what it was last year.
it is still a r~idicuously small percentage
OF unpaid taxes for such a year as this.
In 1892 the total tax roll exclusive of
the Grow reservation taxes amounted
to $4,000 in round figures and of this.
but $1,000 was in the delinquent list.
This year by reason of an increased as
s~essment--not a increased valuation, but
more property-the total tax roll
amounts to just about 100000, and or
the first day of December. but $4,000
of this remained unpaid. Last year with
good times and good prices the delin-
quency was IL per cent. This year af-
ter having gone through the worst tinan.
cial panic of history with n Of the
main resources Of the county absolutely.
bankrupted. and all other industries suf-
fering through sympathy if not from
direct causes, the delinquency is only
l. per cent. If the standard Of 80 rep
resents the normal condition OF the
county as to delinquent or unpaid taxes.
then the addition caused by the hard
times is very small indeed. A considera-
ton of these figures must convince every
thoughtful person that the backbone Of
this county lies considerably beyond the
reach Of ever such severe handling as
We had this year. Many Of our citizens
who a year ago were comfortably we'll
off are somewhat ~disfigured' today but
they are "still in the ring" with no more
idea of giving up than a full blood bull
pup has. Among those who were downed
there is no crying over split milk. but a
resolute determination to build up what
Grover has pulled down and to see to it
that neither he or any other Democrat
has the chance to do it again.

sentimental Sagary.
Young Lanyan, the midshipman, who
went down with Admiral Tryon on the
Victoria, was a sentimental lad. You
had better jump" cried the admiral to
the 10y,
I'D rather stay with you," was the
midshipman's reply.
The boys loyalty to the admiral was
pathetic. but it was IA barren display Of
affection. The admiral was right. The
lad ought to have jumped and made a
resolute effort TO save his life. The adj
miral had weighty reasons for preferring
to stay at his post. The midshipman's
life was flung away from sheer excess Of
sentiment.
Equally wasfeful and uniustitiable was
the zeal of Il New Jersey workman, who
listened TO a lady's frantic appeal for the
rescue Of her dog, which was founder
ing in a pond. She fancied that her pet
was III extreme danger. The workman
plunged into the water and swan out to
the dog. There he was suddenly attacked
with cramp and was drowned before tie
lady's eyes. The dog wan ashore and
parked from the bank at the rescuer.
whose intentions had been misunder-
stood. 1t was more than foolish for Il
man 10 risk his life for historical lady's
pc. dog.
Another workman in Brooklyn played
a better part. A cry Of Horse run
away was raised while he was chatting
with a friend. \ frightened hose was
tearing up the street with a wagon be-
hind him, bat no driver. Directly in
his track was a baby carriage with a
sleeping child. The nurse, who had been
wheeling the carriage across the street,
had BEN frightened by the outcries of
bystanders, and deserving her charge
had fed to the sidewalk.
The workman did not hesitate. Spring
ing forward, he caught the animal by
the bride and stopped the horse barely
in time to save the child's life. The
horse, revolving against capture, reared
and made a plunge for liberty. The bri-
die broke in the workman's hands, and
be fell under the horses feet. In q mo-
0ent he was trampled to death.
This workman had a wife and children
dependent upon him. He undertook q
most hazardous feat in attempting to
stop the horse by the bride ends in front
of the baby carriage. But although he
lost his life and brought calamity upon
his household he exhibited singular un-
sslfishness and fortitude. The sight of
the sleeping child exposed to q horrible
death set his warm heart beating, and
generously and impulsively he did the
only thing that could ave been done for
the child's rescue.
That was better than a useless sacrifice
Of life for q puppy. 1t was nobler than
voluntary suicide with the admiral, who
feared a court marshal's probable brand
of murderer more than he feared death.

tive and justification for the risks, it be-
comes . sentimental vagary involving
s~enseless waste of life.-Youth's Com
