of common schools. Other incidents of
interest occurred. The Presidents mes
sage was closely listened to in both
ouses, and was very commonplace
document. 1t is largely devoted to rou-
tine matters, and nearly devoid of the
proposals regarding the tariff and the
currency, the public, from the air of
mystery enveloping the White House,
had been led to expect. He refers to
these two subjects only in compare
lively slight way, so much so that our
Democratic exchanges have some of them
said that the message was very ordina-
ry business document. In our foreign
relations Cleveland alludes to the war
between Japan and China, and says his
offer of mediation was made because of
our treaty with Korea. He says that
Hawaii has benn recognized, and alludes
to the death of Russia's ruler. On the
tariff question the President is still in fa-
vor of free coal and iron.

We notice that the Democratic papers
of the State, and the BrattlebOro corre-
spondents of the Boston papers, are
"agin'' the appropriation made at the
late session of the legislature of $150,00O,
to complete the Waterbury insane asy-
lum. One writer delivers himself as
follows: "The appropriation was asked
for on the ground that by the completion
of the State asylum the patients will be
cared for at S1.75 week, while the
State is now paying 1915 to the retreat.
In this estimate, however, no account is
made of the interest on the investment
at Waterbury. So far as the wisest and
best care of the insane is concerned, it is
doubtful if anything is gained by this
treat is one of the oldest institutions of
its kind in the country, and has an equip
ment which in all its departments is
hardly equalled by any other. Not only
are the grounds about the main build
ings of great extent and beauty, but
there is hillside park of 30 acres, a
summer retreat for women, and sum-
cottage for men where all the comforts
and appliances of private homes are en-
joyed by the patients. At the best it
will require long time for the new in
stitution to come into the possession of
advantages like these. The Brattleboro
retreat will, however, be left free to open
its doors to a large class of patients
from outside the State which it has
heretofore been obliged to refuse"
Whether this is true or not is not the
question. The State for years appropri-
ated thousands of dollars, until the ag-
gregate ran up into the hundred thou
sands, in support of the Brattleboro in
stitution. Many people supposed it to
be State asylum, but the awakening
came and the people were told that
State patients were not wanted. In
other words Vermont was compelled to
begin the Waterbury affair, and it is
good policy to finish it as soon as posi-

The regular monthly debt statement
was issued Saturday. 1t continues to
show Democratic incompetency in that
there is an excess of expenditures over
receipts for the month of November of
SIS, 1876, 1867, which makes the deficiency
for the five months of the present fiscal
year 500, ,5lO,226. The receipts from Gus
toms during November are $1O,2G0, ,292;
from internal revenue, $7,774,O74 from
miscellaneous sources 81, 1,376,G37, making
the total receipts for the month, $19,411,-
4O3, and for the last five months, $780,
39S,S17. The disbursements for the
month amount to S27 ,5G7, 10, of which
$12, ,O37, ,S95 is on account of pensions,
making the disbursements for the five
months, $15S, ,0O9,O43. THIS is a worse
showing than that of Buchanan's Ad-
ministration, which, by the way, was the
Democratic predecessor of Cleveland's S
present term.

A woman's Idea-to Serve all Alike.


BENNINGTON, Vt, Dec, 3D., 1894.
DEAR EDITORIALS well-wlsher of the
village in which live, will you permit
me to ask why it is that the Citizens
League is so very Jealous in minor af-
fairs, that concern their business, and so
slow to the more important things, for
instance, the closing of fruit stores and
barber shops, while men and boys are
allowed to roam our streets, from early
morning until late at night, plying their
trade of peddlng newspapers? Now L
believe the Sabbath should be kept holy.
| believe, also. if one man has right to
get his living on Sunday, so has the other
man. If man gets shaved or his hair
cut, on Sunday, the chances are even
that when he has got nice clean face he
will attend church somewhere. The
man who buys the Sunday newspaper
will want to find out the news, and the
chances are that long ere he has found
out "what the news is" he is sound
asleep, and church never sees him for he
is Oblivious, to everything until dinner
time. After dinner the chances are good
that he visits some one of the numerous
rum holes, which, in spite of your sup
posed power, are doing as thriving busi-
ness as before the League existed. might
say even better than before. The candy
and fruit man will sell you sweets on
Sunday, that might, if INDUCED in toe
heavily, impair your digestive organs,
but he won't sell you anything that will
steal away your brains if you have any
(and, by the way, the man that drinks to
excess 1 don't believe is overstocked
with brains), or cause you to do that
which you would blush for afterwards.
| have in mind man, who, regularly
every Saturday night, begins to drink.
and continues until Scnday. Now,
which evil is the greatest? Which is the
greatest blight upon our village? If we
want to purify our town, let's begin at
the very foundation of the evil-the Sa-
loon, with its meat market in the front
room and the rumhole at the back. Why,
men, you are the laughing stock of all
rumsellers. To think that twenty-five or
thirty men can do as they please, in
spite of the Christian men and women in
town, is enough to make ones blood
boil. wish, tor the good of the town,
the women controlled its affairs; not
very long would these rumsellers ply
their business on Sunday. Men who work
at trades have to get their living week
days. Let all men do the same. In the
words of clergyman heard last night:
Do something, and not talk! talk! talk!
all the time. Show the lower element of
this town we will haye the law enforced.

Temperance and Longevity.

On the whole, in addition to other in
formation which we have received from
returns as to the alcoholic habits of the
inhabitants of this country, and as to the
relative alcoholic habits of different oc-
cupations and classes, we may not un-
fairly claim to have placed upon basis
of fact the following conclusions:
1. That habitual indulgence in alcohol
ic liquors, beyond the most moderate
amount, has distinct tendency to shorten
life, the average shortening being rough
ly proportioned to the degree of indul-
gence.
2. That of men who have passed the
age of %, the strictly temperate, on the
average. live at least ten years longer
than those who have become decidedly
Incorporate. We have not in these re-
turns the means of coming to any con-
clusion as to the relative duration of life
of total abstainers and haoitually temper
ate drinkers of alcoholic liquors.
3. That total abstaiuers and habitual
temperance augment considerably the
chance of death from old age or natural
decay without special pathological lesion.
1t is to be greatly regretted that the re-
turns to this inquiry were not far more
numerous than they actually were.-

Claus Spreckels says that the "shut
down" of the sugar refineries throwing
out of employment 1900 men is caused
by foreign competition and cheaper la
Dor abroad. He says: "The reason they
are to close is this: They cannot COM
pete with foreign sugars. The Admins
tration has effectually shut out the sugar
refining business in this country. Ger
man granulated sugar is laid down at
New York at So. 80 the hundred pounds,
and raw or crude sugar costs, laid down
there, So the hundred pounds. That
leaves margin of six one-hundredths of
cent pound on which to pay refining
expenses and make profits. The thing
is simply absurd. In the East they pay
refinery hands $3.50 per day. In Germany
the wages are S1.13. The trade cannot
stand this difference. The German SUI
gar is beet sugar, refined abroad. This
market is now bringing great deal of
Chinese sugar that is refined by two Eng
lish firms in Hong Kong, They use raw
sugar from Batavia and PHILIPPINE Is
lands. These refineries employ coolie
labor at 10 cents per day. There is only
one remedy and that is protection"

have been elected Governors of Pennsyl-

A Fair View.

The Lawrence World, which is one
fairest republican papers in the state,
expresses itself as follows:
The only bad features about this
campaign is that the "Old crowd" is in
the saddle and the new men who are
recognized" are cuckoos to the old
fellows. That isa bad feature of the
campaign and one that will cost US
votes.
The World has been asked repeat
edly what it thought Of Mai. Morrill's
Kansas City speech. 1t does not en-
dOrSe it. 1t is political buncombe to
say we are ashamed of Kansas and
political folly to speak Of issuing bonds
The World never endorses what it
believes to be wrong.
1t is nonsense to say that anybody
will vote against the suffrage amend
ment because it is in the populist plat
form. Some may take that as an ex-
cuse. The Worlds objection to the
entire business was thatSuch questions

against it all the more because we
know enough Of politics to fear the
reaction against such extravaganza.
We see the risks to which such gold
mania is exposing US. We have rea-
son to know the popular feeling and
we DO net believe that the single gold
standard can be long maintained.
We want real money-coin carrying in
trinsic value; yet if England succeeds
In her obstinate efforts to destroy the
value of silver for coinage nothing
can save US from paper. England
may well succeed; she seems to be
already on the point of success greater
t1an her government wanted, and in
that case, irredeemable paper, fat
money, stareS US in the face.
REPUBLICAN INTRIGUE.
Something, then, must be decided.
and quickly, for delay itself is likely
to be decision. The Republican party
held power for whole generation
and during all Of that time made
only one fatal mistake. Under the
influence of the banking interest, act
ing in what was then believed to be
the true interest Of the country. the
party fell into the foreign conspiracy
for making a single gold standard,
and, what was worse, did it with a
foreign air OfcOnspiracy. We cannot
afford to repeat that error. The
time has come for decision and the
decision must be open. No such mo-
ment can recur. You can act with
confidence that your judgment at
least is as good as that of other men.
Neither the banking interest nor any
other interest has for the time a
right to claim superior knowledge or
wisdom. In view of the ruin they
have wrought and the vaster ruin
that they threaten, no risk that in
their opinion you may seem to run
can cause you a moments fear.
THE task before us is to restore
normal activity to our industries, TO
break down the barriers of sectional.
ism, to check the increasing tension
between rich and poor, to relieve az.
riculture and to save the small farm
er and manufacturer-in a word, to
smooth away the threatening dangers
