USING THE UNEMPI DYED.

Mutiny In the "Army of the Common
veal is the one thing that might safely
be predicted of such an organization. \
bOuy of men of unsettled habits, brought
together under leadership that has no
power for discipline, with no common
ideas except general dissatisfaction with
everything existing, has all the elements
of disintegration in itself. That such
organizations should be formed at all in
this free country is a matter rather for
serious thought than for the ridicule
which has been heaped upon them.
If instead of burlesque armies, swarm
ing like devouring locusts across the
country and besieging halls of legislation
like revolutionary mobs, we might have
a national army worthy of the name,
thousands of idle, dependent citizens
could be put in a position where they
would be of infinitely more service to
their country than the standing armies
of Europe can be to theirs. The public
support these men now, and from
an economic standpoint there would be
nothing to lose but everything to gain,
by turning them to USE Boston Tran
script.
There can be no question about the ad-
Visibility of doing something with the
unemployed, who are now organizing
themselves into "armes" and making
themselves nuisance to every commu-
nifty they strike in the course of their
marches. 1t would be we'll enough to
make "a real army of them if only we had
some use for an army; but we haven't.
The men already in the governments
employ as soldiers are sufficient in num-
Der for all purposes for which troops
are required. The Transcript is evident
ly unable to see what could be done
with additional troops, for if it knsws it
does not say of what utility they could
be to the country.
1t has been suggested, and the sugges-
ton has merits, that the government
could keep these unemployed out of
mischief and at the same time confer a
substantial benefit upon the country by
hiring them to build roads. All over
the country there is demand for better
highways. Even in long-settled regions
the roads are still crude. They are so
because neither the money nor the skill
to make them what they should be are
within reach of the people. If the gov
ernment should enlist as road-builders
say 6O,0OO men, way would be opened
for that number of the unemployed to
earn decent wages. The pay should not
be so large as to attract into Me service
those previously able to gain livell-
hood in other pursuits. When enlisted,
the road-builders could be aviosd up
among the States in proportion 10 the

Although they were not bit anxious
to do 1t. the Democrats of the house OF
representatives had to adopt eX-Speakel
Reeds scheme of counting quorum OF
else quit the business of legislation. A
minority has obstructed legislation to a
greater or less extent all the session.
Last week. after long period of practi-
cal suspension of business, the majority
of Democrats got together in caucus to
decide what should be done. One of
them presented a plan for the enforce
ment of an old statute which provides
for cutting of the salaries of members
who absent themselves. The PROPOSE
ton was not received with enthusiasm.
a resolution was finally adopted to the
effect that 1.-THE committee on rules shall
report to the house rule or an amend
ment of the rules by means of which
members present and not voting may be
taken INTO account in determining the
existence or non-existence of quorum,
and to compel the attendance of absent
member" Speaker Crisp, who was pres
ent, agreed to cooperate in such move,
and he has; but the counting of men,
bers is done by tellers, instead of by the
speaker, as was Mr.. Reeds practice.

Hon. Frank Plumley of Mortified
writes to the Morrisvlle News and Clti-
zen in approval of its recent utterances
against the establishment of a rule by
which man who is made lieutenant
governor one year shall become COVER
nor six years thereafter lie adds !:
"There is the same reason for positive
action in this regard now that there was
in 1886 to break the direct promotion
precedent" Mr.. Plumley seems not to
understand the situation as it existed in
1886. There was no intention on the
part of any one, so tar as we know, to
make or to break "precedent''. The per-
sons chiefly interested in the outcome
of that convention were the Windham
county brethern, VINO wanted Col. Fuller
for lieutenant governor. 1t became ap-
parent to the astute Col. Hooker and
Others of them that the only way in
which this could be brought about was
to promise that Col. Fuller would not
come up governor two years later. So
Col. Hooker promised and Col. Fuller
took second place on the ticket.

The board of agriculture publishes a
report of the findings of its statistical
member, Mr.. Speare of Braintree, for
1898. During the year, he SAYS, 1882
farms were sold in the State, 100 of them
in this county. One hundred and eighty
farms, including three in this county,
were sold through the medium of advcr-
tisements in the boards circular. There
were established in the State during the
year new industries requiring S40l, 800
capital and employing GOO hands. The
Addison county new industry (the re-
port does not say what it is) is capital

ever, it may be that he could not be per-

that it would hurt his chances for the gov

Ten days loss of time on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any thing but pleasant for a man of family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer, n echanic, merchant or publisher. Jas. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed ten days with the grip during it's prevalence year or two ago. Later in the season he had a sec ond attack. He says; "In the latter case l used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considerable success, think, only being in bed little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy" It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. When you wish to cure cold quickly and effectually give this remedy trial. % and 50 cent bot ties for sale by Smith & Lathrop.

 The home of Mrs. Mary B. Dimock, of West Stafford, was the scene of a most spleasant gathering on Wednesday, Feb. 7th, of children, grandchild, neighbors and friends While all were partaking of a bountiful collation. an easy arm chair had taken the place of the one so long used by her in her years of infirmity, and the presentation of this, also of cane, was made in the reading of the poem given below by her grandson. Deacon Orwell Dimmick, who has nearly reached four-score years, also made some very appropriate remarks. Those present sang "God be with thee until we meet again" " and all bade Mrs. Dimock good night, concluding an event to be long remem- bered by all present. .s Grandmother is eighty years old to-day,
 Oh Time, how swift thou dost glide! Four score years have passed away;
 To-day we are standing by your Slde We have come together here to-day,
 With loving hearts and hands to cheer; Grandchild, children, neighborS, friends,
 All of whom are to you most dear. We have brought with us this good arm chair, Purchased by friends who now are here, For you to rest and reclIne upon,
 In your aged and declining years. As you sit, dear Grandmama,
 In it, you look so comfortable and nice, You will prize 1t highly as gift from friends, And not for the purchase price. And as we travel in years to come
 The path which you for years have trod, Much pleasure twill give us to know
 That reclining in it your trust is in God. May many years more your presence us bless, And be added to the eighty now past, With the greatest Of pleasure shall we this day
 remember,
 So long as life with each one of us doth last. This cane is for you to lean upon,
 So long as the lamp of life doth burn, Accept 1t to be used as such
 From your grandson La Vergne. And now. dear Grandmama, we shall soon bid
 you goodnight, g....
 On the eve of this, your etghtieth birthday, Hoping that when ten more years shall have
 rolled around,
 We all shall meet you on your here on your
 ninetieth birthday.
 To you, kind neighbors and friends,
 In behalf of my grandmother will say, Accept now most hearty and sincere thanks For the homage you pay her to-day. And if we never all meet together again In this world of labor and strife, s-e May we all meet each other in that beautiful

our women sufficiently to win compara- lively easy battle over the causes that are plotting the eseutcheon of our own state. Her advice to the w. c. T. U. is to nar- row their departments of work down to the public meeting and the faithful dis tribution of literature, that the work may thus be broadened in effective results. For the two cardinal features from which these results are to come are the educa- ting of public sentiment up to the stand ard of prohibition and the ballot in the hands of women.
 "'The eye of the law is correct phrase for up to date the law has but one eye; it needs two, and women must furnish the other.''
 "Press on! for it is Godlike to unloose The spirit, and forget yourself in thought"
 The practical side, so far as we can see from this elevation of the ''watch tower" for the nation is the ballot in the hands of wonlen for the world is 8 continued lacing and interlacing of bands of ribbon white to be carried by -four women" into the jungles of Africa, along the seas and archipelagoes of the Mediterranean, thro' the Isthmus of Suez, into the divisions of Asia north of the Indian ocean, until the very heart of heather China is reached, and her women, who constitute so large proportion of the womanhood of the world, come to know Christ and to accept Him as their Saviour, who was born upon the western border of their vast empire, among the hills of Bethlehem.
 O, sisters! what vista of light shines down the depths of our heart as we stand here gazing into the beatitudes God has promised to those who do faithfully serve Him. And how we should upon this 20th anniversary of the Crusaders birth dedi- cate anew our energies to it's Christian izing influences.
 "Take my lips and let them be
 Filled with messages for Thee;
 * k *
 Take my moments and my days,
 Let them flow in endless praise;
 Take my intellect and use
 Every power as Thou shalt chose.
 
 Take my love, my God, pour
 At Thy feet it's treasure store."
 "The one thought which would bring to-day is the power and beauty of @ real affection between woman and woman how union of sympathy gives larger life to each; the helping hand to another strengthens our own side and sacrifice turns to bless the one who made it. There is safety and wisdom in joining hands for larger labor. The woman of to-day can- not afford to look to her own household alone. Her vision would be cleared and broadened by the outlook upon the inter- ests of others. Her heart must gain it's most effective force by the exercise of love for humanity. Her judgment must be balanced by the charity and patience be- slowed upon children not her own; and then she will turn to her home duties and find that the difficult places have been made easy because of her wider reach and growth of power."
