AND WE'LL BE HAPPY THEN

When it rains because we want it to-
Get warm because we like;
When we order all our billiards
Tell the lightning where to strike;
The world will be a jolly world
To all the maids and men;
With life a song the whole day long,
And Well be happy then!
When crops grow oftheir own accord,
Without a pillow Or hoe;
When bill collectors cease to bring
The lengthy bills we owe,
The world will be jolly world
To all the maids and men;
And birds will sing and cash will ring,
And we'll be happy then.

THE speech of Senator Hill
was one of the best ever made,
and it demonstrates his perfect
readiness for the arena of de
bate. His defence Of President
Cleveland and the frank praise
given his great rival was gener.
Gus, just and manly. But heput
in two words for himself to one
for Cleveland.

THE LOGIC OF THE SITCA-
TON.

The great trouble with the
Democratic party is lack of har-
mony, but how could the case be
otherwise?
The Republican party is the
party of a class; the Democratic
party is the party of the masses.
The Republican party represents
a class of American people who
believe in paternal government,
who believe Tin government aid
for certain lines of business, who
believe in government by the
government. It's policy is sim
pie, for it is designed for the class
it represents. It is an easy mat
ter, therefore, for it to legislate
for it's own, for the simple reason
that onepolicy will do for all.
But how is it with the Demo
cratic party? It is not composed
Of one class, but of all classes.
III its ranks r protectionists
and free traders, free silver men
and monometalists-in short,
all sorts and conditions of men
representing all the doctrines
under the sun. It is impossible
that such an organization can be
harmonious.
1t is true that the great mass
of the party are men who hold
to the old-fashioned Democratic
doctrines of popular govern
ment. But the minority is strong
and it demands certain conces-
sions which must be granted, or
there is a row.
Such is the condition that con
fronts the Democratic members
of Congress to-day in their en-
deavor to formulate a tariff bill.
The true-blue Democrats are
greatly in the majority, but
there is a strong minority of
conservatives who must be
dealt with.
There is a stubborn situation
and we have long since come to
the conclusion that if any tariff
bill is passed it must be a com
promise measure. This ques-
ton, therefore, arises: Shall we
have a compromise bill, or shall
Congress adjourn without pass
ing any bill at all? Shall the
Mckinley bill remain, or shall we
take the best substitute we can
get for that much-abused law?
Some of the friends of THE
ARGUS have inquired + Can the
party afford to 60 before
the people with the Senate
bill as its tariff law" And
we ask in reply can the
party, after all it's promises of
reform, go before the country
without any modification of the
Mckinley tariff? 1t seems to us
perfectly plain proposition that
the tariff reformers of Congress
r in duty bound to accept the
lesser of two evils.
Senator. Hunton said the
otheI day that this was mot
atime for their own opinions
and to reject the opinions Of
brother Democrats. They were
there for the purpose of passing
a tariff bill, which would be
passed, and the like of which
never had been passed by any
Congress except as a compro-
mise measure. He trusted that
there was no Democrat within
the sound of his voice, and nc
Democrat in either House, who
was not willing to make compro-
misses in order to get a tariff bill
which every one of them must
know to be-a great Improvement
on the Mckinley act and which
would relieve the people of the
United States 81 a great burden
of taxation.
That seems to us to be The
logic of the situation.

whether Mr.. Fletcher has forgotten the
Messenger, or ever will. We trust that
the Messenger will understand from
these few lines to whom we referred.
The Messenger has a second reason for
finding fault with us. 1t alleges that
our ntimation that Col Franklin Far
banks late show of interest in the Grand
Army indicates that he will be Il candi-
date for lieutenant governor is "unwar-
ranted".
We beg to differ from the Messenger
on this point. The Messenger knows,
and so does every one else who observes
anything. that the Grand Army is sys-
tematically worked" by a certain cali
bre of politicians, who seek by the aid
of a worthy organization to boost them
selves into places for which they dare not
contend in an open fight. The town
of st. Johnsbury will. if reports are
correct. have several candidates for
the second place on the Republican State
ticket. The choice as between the st.
Johnsbury men is likely to be made in
the home caucus. What more natural
than that Col. Fairbanks should seek the
support of the Grand Army, and what
device more easy to work than this pre-
sentation of memorial volume to the
local post? If this was not the purpose
of the presentation, WHY make 1t now,
when the campaign is about to begin? ?
Why didn't he do it year ago or defer
the doing of it till later?
The matter is not Of much consequence
anyhow, but the incident serves to show
the difference between two classes of
seekers for office. The members of II e
one class 90 into a campaign on their
merits. They do not need to apologize
for asking office or to get it by indirect
means. For instance, when Col. Proctor
was known to be desirous of appointment
to the vacancy in the senate caused by
Senator Edmunds resignation, there was
no NJ ed for him to parade his record as a
soldier or to summon to his assistance
the Grand Army or anybody else. 1t was
at once seen that it was an appointment
fit to be made. Such was the case when
Judge Powers sought the nomination as
member of congress from this district,
and so it has been in other instances
which might be named. 1t is only when
a man Of moderate abilities wants to get
an office for which he has no especial
qualifications that it is considered neces-
sary to resort to ar:ifices. Men of this
class sometimes succeed, but they seldom
honor the Office or the office them. The
people cannot but feel that in respect to
the office they are not unlike the scrip
tural parsonage ''that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth
up some other way"

Senator Sherman presented the memo
rial of the National Wool Growers asso-
cion in the Senate on Thursday last, they
having been unable to get hearing from
the senate finance committee. The me-
mortal, after giving statistics of the mag
ntude of the sheep-rasng industry with
its invested capital of $500, 900, 900, lays
down Il number of propositions, the sub
stance of which is that free wool will de-
stroy the wool industry here; will be an
act of bad faith to investors who were
led into the business by the promise of
existing laws; will disastrously affect all
related and dependent agricultural in
dustries-cuttiug off demands for pastur-
age, etc, and so affecting one-half of the
population engaged in agriculture and in
turn reacting upon the merchants. The
objection is also made that free wool will
drain away our gold to the amount of
$50, 100000 annually. 1t is also con-
tended that the present duties are reve-
nue. and not protective duties and that
free wool will not give cheaper clothing.

The esteemed st. Albans Messenger is
worried because we said something in a
recent issue about eX-Lieut.-Gov.
"Field". If the contemporary had the
mental perceptions of a mouse, it might
have known that eX-Lieut. Gov. Fletcher,
Hon. Henry A. Fletcher of Cavendish,
was meant. If the Messenger will look
through its files for the year A. ID. 1892
1t will learn that for time it enthusias-
tically espOused the nomination of per-
son of that name to the governorship I;
it will learn, further, if it pnrsues the
study of its files, that it suddenly drop
ped Mr.. Fletcher when the growing
strength of Col. Fuller's candidacy made
1t probable that Col. Stranahan's charces
for the second place on the ticket would
be small unless his friends formed an
alliance with the BrattlebOro man. The
Messenger has reason for wishing to
forget Mr.. Fletcher; we doubt, however,

THE FIRE DID LITTLE DAMAGE
From the Fair Haven Era.

An alarm of fire at l2.30 Tuesday after
noon took the fire department to John
Maley's residence on South Main street.
In getting there the Knights cart ran
over John Flanagan and injured his left
side quite badly. Foreman Casey was
thrown to the ground, the cart passing
over him, and he narrowly escaped in-
jury. A hose was laid, but 1t was found
that the hydrant was frozen and no
water could be got. In the meantime
the occupants of the house, aided by the
neighbOrs, had put out the fire which had
broken out back of the kitchen stove,
its cause being unknown. The damage
was slight.

WELL DRESSED WOMEN.
HANDSOME GOWNS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY THE MOST
EXPENSIVE.
Diamond Dyes Make Possible
Many stylish Suits-Their Use
Greatly Increased by Hard
TimeS-Rich COlOrS That Will
Not Fade. Crock or Wash Ont.

"About the only thing the sale of which has
been increased by the hard lines are diamond
dyes said IA Middlebury druggist. "women
like to be well dressed, and they find that by
the use Oi these handy home dyes they can
make an old dress look like a new one, pre-
vent the husbands clothes from getting shah.
by, and keep the children nicely clothed."
While there are fifty different colors in
diamond dyes the blacks Especial kinds for
wool, cotton, and silk and icathers) are the
most popular, as any color can be dyed a
handsome black with but little work or ex.
pense. The directions on the envelopes are
so plain and explicit that the most inexper.
fenced can do as well as the professional
dyer.
In one of the ladies papers a story OF real
robe was made from partly worn clothing by
the aid OF diamond dyes. "a tan colored
flannel dress was taken apart AMI washed
and then dyed beautiful brown with seal
brown diamond dye. As it is made verv
PLAIN it can be washed almost as easily as
calico; tor, like other colors produced by
these dyes, it will never fade" II also tells
OF ga suit that was dyed a lovely shade OF
dark green" and other useful and handsome
gowns, cloaks, and hats tnat were colored
over with diamond dyes. Try II ten.cent
package and see how easily fast and beau
timl color can be made over any kind OF
goods.
