a small house belonging to the widow

had the child buried at the poor farm
to-day and hired u nurse for the un-
fortunate woman. The woman claims
10 have husband, but says he left
home about six weeks ago and has not

SHORT MEMORIES.

About 90 per cent, as nearly as can be
estimated, of all the mishaps to Repub-
lican form of government, says the Bos-
ton Journal, come from an easy habit of
forgetfulness. The last Presidential
election is case in point. For 80 years
the voters of this republic-every man a
King by divine right-had delegated to
The Republican party the duty of admin
istering the government; and its great
principles were entirely satisfactory and
its methods of administering the trust
enthusiastically approved. Especially is
this true of that fundamental Republi-
can principle, Protection to American
labor and American industries" Phis
confidence, resulting in such an increase
of population and individual and nation
al prosperity as to stagger the imagina.
zion, it would seem might easily have
been remembered by the people; instead,
it was easily forgotten. 1t was not suffi-
cient that there was abundant work for
all at phenomenal wages; that every
conceivable thing that entered into the
home life and daily consumption of the
toiler was to be purchased at lower
prices than ever before; that machinery
of every sort was hummlng to its utmost
without fear of ver-production; and
that happiness and content reigned every
where-except in the uneasy minds of
the chronically discontented.
All these elements and evidences of
prosperity were the legitimate outgrowth
of Republican principles carried into the
Government for generation-long
enough and pleasant enough, one might
think, to fix themselves permanently in
the minds and hearts of the people. But
for some inexplicable reason the men
who cast the ballots at the last Prtsiden-
tial election forgot the utterly untrust-
worthy character of the Democratic
party in. the remote years of its ascend
ency; forgot its treachery in the sixties;
forgot that it's avowed principles were
diametrically opposed to those under
which the Nation had marched to such
unprecedented heights of prosperity and
glory, and called back to the control OF
the Government the author of all our
national woes. This was not anarchy;
it was not intentional wrong; it was not
deliberate attempt to pull down the
pillars of our prosperity; it was not alb
solute heedlessness or recklessness, it
was simply forgetfulness. reinforced in
some cases by ignorance. Manifestly
the intelligent workingmen of this cOun-
try would not, deliberately and wilfully,
become the destroyers of their own pros
perity.
But one comforting thought comes to
our relief If the people easily forget,
they are, also, reasonably quick to re-
member. Already evidences come from
every hand that memories are becoming
wonderfully quickened. The incidental
or accidental elections recently held, no
matter in what part of. the Union, show
how rapidly our people can learn; and
next fall lesson will he recited in con-
cert, throughout the whole country, that
will make the great rafters of our gov
ernmental school house tremble.

THE SOUTH IN WINTER.-IX.


Last week, in company with six of the
boardeTs here, we went to St. Peters
burg, on salt water fishing trip, cover.
ing ground already described, via Orange
Belt railroad through Tarpon Springs,
where we ran into another of the thun-
der showers which so nearly paralyzed
us before. A night here. and we left for
st. Petersburg in the early moru. One
of our number was veteran, not only a
G.. A. r comTade, but also well up to all
the wiles of the finny tribe. Acting as a
sort of chaperon for six frisky old men
was no sinecure, and he returned sadder
and wiser.
st. Petersburg is supposed to furnish
as good, if not better fishing to the
square inch than any place on the Gulf.
The larger varieties are, the shark, sea
hog, king and tarpon. Sharks are caught
with mullet, which are hooked through
the body with a piece of steel three
eights of an inch in size, and made in
the same manner as our trou' hooks.
This is fully one foot long, to the end of
which is attached a 5.S inch rope, and
this in turn, fastened to the wharf
through iron rings. AS they are often
caught weighing l,200 pounds, it will be
seen the tackle is none to large or stout.
These hooks have been Strengthened out
by pulling when shark has been
hooked The livers of sharks are IN
great dOmand for their oil, and we no.
ticed placard which read: 5000
sharks livers wanted Immediately"
The oil is used in large measure for
tanning purposes. In this, as with near
ly everything else, nothing is lost. On
the dock, firm refines fish oil. The
eyes of all very large fish are carefully
removed The pupil is then placed in
some solution which hardens them in
about twenty-four hours, when they
have become as hard as necessary, and
are perfectly round and clear, and can
be handled with impunity, they are
shipped to jewellers, mounted, and re
turned to us as pearls, retailing at ten
dollars each. The cost of this pearl, not
including mounting, is one dollar, paid
the fish dealer through whom they are
purchased. The demand far exceeds
the supply. The eyes of smaller fish
are used also in less degree, and can
not be told from genuine pearl. 1t is
just as we'll perhaps, yet goes to show
there is cheat in all trades but ours.
The smaller fish consist of pompano,
trout, Spanish mackerel, red-mouthed
grouper, grunt, pig fish, red snapper,
blue fish, roralia, drum sheepshead and
many others. OF these, the pompano,
perhaps, occupies the first place, with
the Spanish mackerel and red snapper a
good second, with blue fish not far be-
hind. The red snapper is a bright red,
and while not pretty as to shape, its
peculiar color and fine eating qualities
make him desirable catch. As sup
piled to the table, he weighs some Is
pounds, this perhaps being an average.
Nearly all of these are caught on the
long dock, the balance in the bay. One
look into sharks mouth convinces us
as to his capacity and heightens dread

There are parties yet below us, living
in tents, who brought extra trunks filed
with canned meats, etc., and are enjoy
ing fresh fruit and vegetables and other
good things at an expense of $3.50 per
person, weekly. With no fuel or rent
bills to meet, plenty of room, sunshine
and health giving ozone, itrequires littfn
stretch of imagination to picture con
tentment. We shall soon begin. our
homewaId trip, leaving behind US many
pleasant memories of the past few
months, never to be forgotten. The
longer one is in the State, the less, uA-
favorable are early impressions. What
at first seemed dreary waste of sand
and utter disregard for appearances, has.
by contact and familiarity, either bluated
our sensibilities, or become recognized
as unavoidable. Either horn of tho
dilemma presents situation worthy Of
study.
We have endeavored to present the sit-
uation as found, and while there is much
to condemn, one must remember the
State as whole is many years behind
the rest. The climate is we'll worth SD

and to the man blessed with health,
some money and lots of pluck, who II
willing to forget he came from an Older
State, furnish results that go towards
making life worth living. . Leaving for
the east coast in a few days we shall have
an opportunity to compare older settle
ments and that it may be to the States

The town of Newbury has remark
able lot of old people. Wells Goodwin,
the patriarch, is survivor of the war of
1872, has voted at 20 presidential elec-
tions, and has for almost 81 years drawn
pay for military service rendered in the
United States. He will attain full CEN
tury of age if he lives to November 9th.
John Smith, aged nearly "a, is the son of
a captain in the Irish rebellion of 1T9S.
He was born in Dutchess county, New
York, and lived in Ryegate, over 80
years. He moved to Newbury recently.
Dennis Caumney, whose exact age is un-
known, is believed to be about 90. Jane
Waddell, now in Barnet. is over 80 years
old. Mrs. Euphemia Chalmers was bora
in DunbartOn castle, Scotland, February
23d, 1905 and came to America in 1888.
Richardson Patteson knew personally
two men who were soldiers in the rebel
lion of 1745, one of them having been in
the battle of Culloden Moor. His first
sch9olmaster had lost an arm at the bat
tie OF Bunker Hill. Patterson was born
in Fifeshire, Scotland, January Sd, 1909.
There are now in the little town of New

Itnow transpires that the assignment
of Admiral Walker to the Pacific squad
ron, indicates that President Cleveland
means that England shall Glands of, :"
the Sandwich Islands. Mr.. Dawes has
gone to represent her fallen majesty,
Queen Lii, to the English government.
This leaves the United States in an EN-
barrassing position should his mission
succeed. The President las declared
that the queen was overthrown by the
aid of the United States forces in an un-
just and unlawful manner, and that her
restoration. is only just and equitable
The United States promised to restore
her and to fright the great wrong"
which she suffered, but has done so, and
after waiting for reasonable time the
queen has given up all hope of assistance
from this government in securing her
restoration. The dispatches continue:
"She cannot be blamed, therefore, Tor

States will have no right to protest and
no excuse for objecting." But the pol
icy of England will be different from that
of President Cleveland. She will act

now turn instinctively to the party that
saved the Nation in her previous hour of
peril and demonstrated masterly ability
in giving the United States thirty years

of the Nations. Again it becomes the
mission and duty of the grand old party
to meet National emergency with the
highest patriotism. The party deplores
the necessity but rises to the occasion.

Certain Democratic newspapers of the
narrower kind have sought to make party
capital out of the recent lynching of a
negro for the murder of white man in
Pennsylvania, the banner Republican
State. But this pretty scheme turns out
to be considerable of boomerang, for it
appears that Monroe county, where the
lynchi1g occurred, is the strongest Dem
ocratic comfy in all Pennsylvania. In
1892 its Democratic voters outnumbered
the Republicans three to one, and all the
county officers who permitted or con-
dOneo the lynching are Democrats. AL
together there is very little basis for a
Democratic argument here, and vely
little opportunity to cite the episode in
extenuation of the practices of the
Southern Democratic chivalry.

BENNINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT,

March 25th, 1894.
To the Editor of the Bdnner.-DEAR
SIR.-The statement in your last issm
that the STARK boys' would enter prD-
test, etc., was wholly and entirely wrong.
There was not, is not, and will not be
anything of the kind mentioned or
thought of. The cart was not designed
for the Stark's exclusive use and the no
cessity arising for its transfer to No. 4, it
was removed with our full knowledge,
contrivance, and assistance. Members Of
the Stark Hose largely aided and abetted
in creating, at the recent village meeting,
the necessity in the case. Permit ms
to say, also, that the Starks will d what
ever is in their power to aid No. 4, in
perfecting their organization and coA-
potency. Yours respectfully,
GEO. H. BURCH.
Secretary, Stark Hose Company No. 1.
The statement attributed to us, above,
was not published as a fact, but con-
tanned a qualifying clause not found in
some of our exchanges. Chief Tiffany
informed us of the facts few days age,
and we were going to explain, but tho
letter from Secretary Burch of the Stark
Hose does so, officially, from those in
interest, and we give place for his COM
munication.-ED.
