: One reason for voting to postpone the
time of the taking effect of the sugar
schedule till January 1895 was the fear
that the rise in sugar which will follow
the application of that schedule would
have bad effect on the Democratic con-
gressional campaign this fall. The other
reason was that the Sugar Trust wanted
time to import all the new crop of raw
sugar before the duties went into effect.
What a beautiful time Democratic ora
tors will have defending this postpone

The Belfast Age thinks the coming
Democratic convention will have IAN i'm
portant and powerful influence on the
future of the Democratic party" mas
much as the principal question before
that convention will be whether the
present Office gobbling State committee
shall be sustained Or repudiated the
Age is undou btedly right. The action
of the convention will doubtless deter
mine whether the party is to be run in
the future by gang of selfish men,Ewho
care for nothing but pelf, or whether
men will be placed at the helm who are
capable of looking beyond their OWE
selfish interests. If we were going to
wager anything on the result we should
place it on the fellows who are bent on
feath ering their own nests.

are not going to resort to any parliament
airy tactics to obstruct the bill, for by do
ing SO they might easily delay it's pass
age for many weeks yet. This is wise
policy. Now that the passage or the bill
at some time is practically certain it
would do no good to simply manoeuvre
for delay. Uncertainty is more disas-

and to prolong this uncertainty with no
expectation of finally defeating the
threatened bad legislation would be to
infict an unnecessary and indefensible
injury upon the commercial interests of
the country. While there was hope of

it with every means at their control,

A Maine editor lately lost two of his
subscribers through accidentally depart
ing from the beaten track in answers to
correspondents. Two of his subscribers
wrote to ask him his remedy for their
respective troubles. Mol, happy faith
er of twins, wrote to inquire the best
way to get them safely over their teeth
ing, and No.2, wanted to know how to
protect his orchard from the myriads of
grasshoppers. The editor framed his
answers upon the orthodox lines, but
unfortunately transposed their two
names, with the result that No. 1, who
was blessed with twins, read in reply to
his.query, Cover them carefully with
straw and set fire to them, and the little
pests, after jumping about in the flames
a few minutes, will speedily be settled, I"

was told to "Give a little castor oil and

1t is doubtful if any town in
the state has been so devastated by
fire as has Lamar. Although less
than eight years old, it has passed
through five destructive conhagra-
ticns and several minor ones. 1t is
not to be wondered then that large
and mighty scars have been left.
During the boom times buildings
were run up in q day, and those
wooden structures, dried until they
were like tinder, have been stand
ing menace. While the repeated
losses are discouraging, and for the
time of great Inconvenience to bust
ness interests, it will be only tempo
rary. There is not now enough bus
mess buildings in the town to accom-
modate the legitimate and necessary
demand This want will be supplied
by substantial stores of brick and
stone. This is even nov being done
despite the extraordinary hardness Of
the times. When the tide turns and
the business revival comes, the
burned and unsightly places will be
hid by handsome and enduring
buildings.

Observation-Disclosures.

| Coming from such body of recruits and SOL
diers as were spoken uf in our last. every person
would very reasonably expect the character of
the veteran would be good Many had lost
| limbs health, and almost life itself. but the DAY
| they were mustered ont they made for home.
Rejoicing in the establishments of the author
| ity of their Government, they were ready now
| to enjoy the full advantage of its protection.
! Each soldier soon became lost in the mass OF
| good citizens, and was as anxious TO build mp
| his shattered fortunes as he was to defend the
honor aud authority of his country's flag. 1t
was marvellous how quick the soldier disap-
peared and the ambitious citizen assumed the
place. Al! kinds OF business. each profession,
soon swarmed with these men. Having been
accustomed for years to rugged toll and living,
! they not now to be discouraged with any
! kind of obstacles. Poverty gave way 10 daily
! gains; positions surrendered, now opened to
| receive the c0nquerors back from a thousand
battlefielas. and soon our veterans were at the
| front rs they had been accustomed to stand in
| the thickest of the fight.
Business firms soon listened for their words
of command. Professions were led in most
instances by the same who led in the
storming of forts. reducing of batteries or re-
ceiving the capitulatium OF a heroic foe. The
voice of the people brought these men to Offices
of trust and highest honor in their gift. and
thought them worthy to guide the ship of
state across the high seas OF peace and pros
perty. Where, or in what honorable and re-
munerative position, has not the veteran been
since the close of the war? Who darcs TO say
that their record has not been most honorable
here there? How few have fallen behind
and been inmates OF prisons or almshousesf
How few have been the subjects of dissipation
or crime. have seen thousands of prisoners;
have two old soldiers in that number.
One of the street Conductors in Pittsburg
last Encam pment told mo that he had carried
thousands of old veterans that day, but he had
not seen a drunken soldier nor had cross word
from one OF them. A minister in Boston told
his congregation the Sabbath after the Encamp-
ment there that he hal viewed critically the
procession the week before. where 30 600 were
In liue and that he had only seen three
who looked AS though they had been imhibing.
What body of men show a better record?
Sorry any do; but We thank God so few do.
Last Summer when our country won
derfully disturbed by the strike the old veteran
was always on the side of law and order, far
as i saw or heard. Many countries after
war is over count the old soldier out for
anything good or useful to himself or country.
Not ST. with fair Columhia's land She num-
hers among her best and most USEFUL citizens
her soldiers of the Union, now her honored
veterans. Our hope and belief is, that the
future may only brighten the record if posi-
bic, OF the old veteran, and that in the brightest
sunset of an honorable life he may lie down at
the final bivOuac and reach the land where wars
shall be no more.
