AN UNsPoKEN SPEECH.

lis good to be modest and wise
lis good 10 be loyal and true" and has
4 ever occurred TO you how good it is to
be able to say what you want TO say when
you have to say it. or forever after hold
your peace? Volumes might be written
on this text, but let Us con6ne ourselves
to one case.
1t Is strange how many men there are
to whom providence has mot been mig
Rardly in the matter Of brains, whose
education has not been altogether ne
elected. men Of fancy. and whose Gin
tellects" are clear rather than muddy
men of nerve, generally speaking; how
many such there are, who, when called
to their feet to speak in public are dumb
or dismally discursive. They stammer,
they hum and they haw; they cannot
say what they were ready and anxious
to say while they were comfortably
seated. It seems as though in their case
there was something in the assumption
OF an erect attitude which hopelessy I'm.
settled and jumbled up their ideas. The
eyes of the audience seem TO have a mes.
meric influence upon them. It is as
though they were controlled by that
power; and, while ordered to try and
talk like rational beings, were at the
same time Informed that they could not
utter ten words OF consecutive sense.
and it is SO.
Their ideas have flown. heaven knows
where. II their pluck is greater than
their Judgment they tfor little while,
though it seems an age.) obstinately keep
their feet and furnish a CHASTITY enter
tainment to the listeners.
Like the traveller lost in a bog, they
hesitatingly stagger from one point to
another, which, half distinguished, seems
to offer them foothold. But It's a
failure. The instant they attempt to
rest on 1t down they go and founder
more hopelessly and agonizingly than
ever. Agonizingly is a good word and
expressive, but it is not half strong
enough to convey the idea OF the woe en-.
dured by these uDfortunates.
We may pile (lineuslIy) Pelion upon
Ossa, and fail to reach the height Of their
bitter distress. 1t is one of the acutest
forms Of mental suffering and one which
calls forth no sympathy. On the con-
trary, it is fand that consciously to the
wretch HIMSELF the occasion Of silent
seorn, OF plying wonder, of suppressed
ieers on the part Of the hearers.
These are all well convinced (many Of |
them with just as much justice as the
speaker) that they, at least, would not
make such unmitigated asses Of them
selves.
Finally, IN sheer despair, or from some
unknown but heayen-ssnt impulse. the

BY this statement it appears that there
lie deficit of nearly 1900 in the sun,
required to meet the expenditures of the
city for the past year. This deficit will,
in all probability. be considerably in
creased during the next ensuing year, be-
cause the amount received from licenses,
owing to the financial stringency OF the
times, will, it is expected. be much less
than that received during the pas,
year. 1t is true that there are unpaid
and delinquent taxes for 1893 upon the
books of the treasurer amounting to
about $500, but unless we shall be
more successful than We have been
heretofore in collecting delinquent tsxes.
but little is likely to be derived from this
source Of revenue. The confusion and
litigation growing out Of the attempt to
govern the city under an obsolete charter
and not under the general laws CT the
state are producing serious difficulties,
and unless a prompt remedy is applied
must in the end lead to not only great
Inconvenience and expense but to finsn-
cial disaster, il not to municipal bank
ruptcy. II the city was reorganized We
could then depend upon the enforcement
of the laws for the collection Of delinquent
taxes, and TO that extent the deficit could
be supplied. Nor is there any apparent
or well-foauded reason why reorganizs.
ton should not be accomplished and the
laws In force elsewhere be enforced here.

On the basis of consumption of 65
pounds of sugar per capita of our 6S, ,000,-
900 of people, we have total consump-
ton of sugar for the country amounting
to 4,420,000,000 pounds, which, at an av-
erage price of AZ cents per pound for the
raw material, would cost $121, $50, 900. 1t
is proposed under the tariff bill now be-
fore the Senate, to impose duty of 40
per cent. ad valorem upon the whole of
the sugar we import, and the value of our
entire domestic product would be regu-
lated accordingly, although not import
ed. A 40per cent. ad valorem tariff upon
the $121, ,550,000 worth Of raw sugar that
we consume would amount to S4S, ,620, 900,
which is equivalent to special tax of III
cents upon every man, woman and child
in the country upon the basis of 6S, ,000,-
900 population. Under the Mckinley
tariff the total cost to the country of the
sugar bounty paid to the producers of
American raw sugar was but 9,375, l30.-

deducting this from the SIS, ,620, 600 direct
tax upon the people under the 40 per cent.
ad valorem rate, as now proposed IN the
Senate, we have special additional and
direct tax upon the people of S3S, 100000
to be imposed by the Democratic party.

The disclosures first published in
the New York Press, relative to charges
of bribery in connection with the tariff
bill and that the sugar trust has inter-
fered with legislation, have created
great deal of interest in the country.
Congress has felt itself called upon to
act and has appointed committee of
investigation consisting of Senators
Gray, Democrat, of Delaware; Lindsay,
Democrat, of Kentucky; Lodge, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,; Davis, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, and Allen, Populist,
of Nebraska. The dispatches state:
THE latter part of the resolution was
materially amended to include the fact
whether or not the sugar trust made
any contribution for campaign or elec-
ton purposes to any party to secure or
defeat legislation on the tariff
bill. The last amendment was
offered by Allen, populist, of Nebraska,
and authorizes the committee to investi-
gate whether the Senators had been
dealing or speculating in sugar stocks
during the tendency of this bill in the
Sena'e Q or in committee. The resolution
passed without taking vote, there be-
ing no objection" The charges made
are specific and if true, Notwithstanding
several denials of the persons named
therein, should be verified, and if false,
then the Democracy have enough of a
load to carry without bearing this in
fanny, should it prove to be such, also.
Turn on the lights.

Late Washington dispatches state that
the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on foreign affairs have reported a
bill to amend the act to provide for closer
commercial relations with Canada, which
was introduced by Congressman CHECKER
ing. The bill authorizes the President
to supend the transportation in bond"
privileges granted to Canadian railroads
so long as the Canadian government dis
eliminates against American ports. The
effect of the bill, if it becomes law,
will be to shut off Canadian railroads
from the United States. or to force Can
ada to give American shippers the same
canal tolls the Canadians enjoy.

"THE MOUNTAIN LINE"
CURIOUS EAors ABOUT THIS IMPoRrA

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT
FEATURE IN VERMONT POLITICS.
OF course, all Vermont politicians
know the significance of the term
"mountain line" and the important part
that factor plays in the selection of can
didates for the various public offices.
They know that the territory on either
side OF the Green Mountain range is
known as the least side" and the west
side' resecptively.
They know that the counties of Addi-
son, Bennington, Chittenden, Franklin,
Grand Isle, Lamoille, and Rutland,
make up the "west side" or first con-
gressional district; and that the counties
of Caledonia, Essex, Orange, Orleans,
Washington, Windham, and Windsor,
comprise the 'eart slde'' and second con-
gressional district.
But there are some facts connected
with the mountain line which may not be
altogether matters of common knowl
edge.
There is difference in population be-
tween the east and west side of 7,548 in
favor of the west side. The grand list
of the west side is S94, 119.0S higher than
the east side, but the latter has Is more
towns than the west side, and cOnse-
quently greater strength in the house of
representatives. On the other hand, the
west has two more senators than the east
side.
With all this apparent difference, how
ever, the two sides are nearly equal in
political strength, as the following analy-
sis of the vote in the guberRatorial cam
paign of 1892 will show:

The Linscott 25 mile road race,
held at Maiden, Mass, May 5th,
1894, was won by Nat Butler of
Cambridgeport on a Stearns wheel.
He made the 25 miles in one hour,
eleven minutes, % 1-5 seconds,
breaking the worlds record, and
capturing the first prize of a horse,
harness and buggy, the first time
prize of $1O0 diamond; also, a
$3.50 diamond for breaking the
worlds record. The report illus
trated will be found in the Boston

1t is the first record broken

whom were some of the fastest
