The Boston and other Sunday papers,
contained the following dispatch sent
out from Williamstown, Mass. To those
in North Bennington, East Arlington and
other places in this county, who recently
heard the Prince lecture, the account
may be of more than ordinary interest.
Thomas E. Besolow, member of the
class of '97 of Williams College and an
African Prince, will set sail Thursday
for his home, having received call from
his people to return and become their
ruler. Besolow came to this country
several years ago at the instigation of
Christian missionaries and has since been
studying the English language. Upon
leaving Thursday he will go to England
where he will remain four to six days
and then set sail for Sweden. Here he
will spend ten days as guest of the King
of Sweden.
Upon his return to England he will be
Joined by Massaquoi, another prince,
and together the two will sail for Africa.
Czar Dualusow, an uncle of Prince
Besolow, has been ruling the province
which rightfully belongs to his nephew,
and he has been so naughty and harsh
that the people have become tired of
him and revolted. At first he objected
to the return of his nephew, but when
he saw there was no other alternative he
quietly gave in to peaceably submit to
his young successor. Young Besolow
says he does not fear his uncle, but if he
should make any opposition he will fight
him to the better end. He now intends
to have his rights if he has to war for
them. He says the people are all on his
side and he will haYe little trouble in
beating Dualusow.
Besolow intends to civilize his people
as much as possible and allow them to
enjoy what he has in the past few years.
He will build houses of American style
and endeavor to introduce different in
dustries. BE will take large force of
carpenters with him from Sweden to
erect houses and other buildings.
Thomas Besolow was the son of King
Armah, King of Bendoo, Torocoroh, So
low, by Jassa Suey, daughter of Golah
King, and sister of King Mamburro of
Barrowannah. King Armah. whose war
name was Kein-ba-ki, was a man of great
exploits. In;the days of his strength he
had in the country of the Gallinas very
powerful town (Solow), and villas. He
was at one time generalissimo of the
kings and his influence extended to the
Golah country, and in each of these
towns, Gouah, Torocoroh, Jalapakali

The United States Senate, yesterday,
became a veritable "bear garden" SEN
ator Hill made a notable speech in
which he scored his associates of the
dicker and sugar trust persuasion, and
it must be conceded that David B. is
nearer the Democratic policy as express
ed in printed utterances, than any of his
associates. Senator German and others
were as equally pronounced against the
President. During the confessional
it came out that Cleveland knew of the
tricks and dickers and the fellows who
engineered the concessions were allowed
to understand that the President would
sign any bill, because it was conceded
the Democracy must pass tariff bill or
face defeat at the hands of the people.
and much more to the same effect
This shows that the infamous measure
can be killed and it is the duty of the
Northern men in Congress to do so.
Even Mills said that in his bill iron was
protected, although he (Mills), believed
it should go on the free list. because
there was no hope of its passage with
iron free. Thus it appears that even as
far back as when the Mills bill was nm
der consideration it was a dicker. sell
out or anything to get votes. This Is a
line but characteristic policy of the DEM
ocrats. Verify the people voted for a
change IN 1892. These iate-come con-
fessions prove what has been known all
along, but the Presidents letter seems
to have brought the truth to the surface.

The UNION SOLDIERS.

1t is idle for the Messenger to bubble
over whether Col. Woodbury. said the
Union army was composed of the Re
publican party, or merely said that it
was largely thus composed. The cor
rect quotation appears ON our fourth
page. But the purport of Col. Wood
bury's expression is that the Republi-
can party of the North licked the Demo-
cratic party of the South.-Argus and
Patriot.
If to protest against the garbllng of a
speech of candidate of opposing politi-
cal faith for the sole purpose of making
political capital lis quibbling, then the
Messenger pleads guilty to the charge
and is proud of it. Col. Woodbury's re-
marks at the Republican State conven-
tion were correctly reported in the Free
Press of the following day. The con-
vention was held at the place where the
Argus is published and it had the best
of opportunities to be correctly informed
of what Col. Woodbury. said or did not
say. Yet in two subsequent issues the
Argus, through ignorance or malice, de-
liberately misquoted him and comment
ed upon what he did not say.
There is absolutely nothing in his re-
marks to justify the statement that he
expressed the opinion ''the Republican
party of the North licked the Democrat
ic party of the South" He said at the
time he enlisted-33 years before-the
Union army was largely composed Of
Republicans, and he told the exact
truth. And it is literally true, also, as
he said, the rebellion was commenced
by the Democratic party of the South,
and hemight have added with eqnal
truth, it was fought to finish on the
Confederate side by the Democratic
party of the South.-St. Albans Mes
senger.

and Fahlee he had trading places. The
first war engagement of which Prince
Besolow had any engagement in which
Armah was interested was a war between
the people in the interior and Bendoo.
These former people, with Armah as
leader, made an attack on Bendoo, which
was at that time a very powerful town.
The battle was waged fiercely, and at last
Armah succeeded in razing the town.
He then returned to the interior, when
The people whom he had fought against
sent ENJOYS to him urging him to become
their king. The people of the interior
refused to let him go, and he was only
permitted to leave after paying seven
slaves the price asked
After the death of Armah two men
were appointed at different times by the
government of Siberia to assume control,
Dawoola and Boimah by name, both rel
atives of King Armah. Both of these
died in one week and many believe that
they came to their end by foul means.
After this the government appointed
Dualusow, an uncle of Besolow, and it is
he who the young prince claims has de-
frauded the rightful heirs and usurped
the province. Besolow has every belief
that his uncle is responsible for the pres
ent condition of his people, and that he
knows more about the death of the men
who died than he wishes to tell.
Besolow is man of good proportions
and bears very pleasant expression.
He attended the forest school.
which is open to all native boys, bond or
free. He was very fond of hunting and
often went after deer and monkeys in
the forests of Bendoo. When at home
he also hunted crocodiles and alligators.
But the latter he did only after coming
into Christian atmosphere, or in con-
tact with Christian people, as these
animals are held sacred by the natives.
In his work of study in this country
Besolow was fairly bright. He has
obtained good command of the English
language and is good public speaker.
During his college cource he lectured
considerably, visiting many of the large
cities and often making a striking hitJ
His talks were on his people and country.

1t may not be commonly known, says
the New York Press, that the New York
State Legislature of 1894 passed law
providing that hereafter none butcitizens
of the United States shall be employed
by the State or any municipal corpora
tion therein, and every contract made
hereafter by the State or any municipal
corporation for the performance of public
works must comply with the require
ments of the new law. If the provisions
of this law be adhered to, it means that
Huns. Italians and other foreigners, who
in previous years have been employed
upon the works of the State, will be re-
fused such employment. This will be of
considerable benefit to the laboring
classes in that State. The law is one
which well might have been placed upon
the statute books long ago. This is a
good precedent for the United States. as
well as all the other states to follow.

1t is rather steep bit of Southern
arrogance, says the Boston journal,
which is involved in the attempt of sun
dry Democratic politicians in Washing
ton to prevent the promotion of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles to the command of the
army when Gems. Schofield and Howard
have retired. The scheme contemplates,
so it is said, the division of the army in
to three great departments, East, South
and West, with Major General in charge
of each, and no General of the line in
supreme control aG the Capitol. And
the motive of this queer arrangement
to punish Gen. Miles for alleged lack of
consideration for jeff Davis when he was
prisoner in Fortress Monroe in 1865,
and for being very square cut kind of
Republican.

President Cleveland neglected the op-
portunity of a lifetime when he wrote
his late letter to Prof. Wilson of the tar
iff bill. The structures were deserved,
but the conclusions of Cleveland that
the people are clamoring for free raw
materials is the veriest fallacy. In place
of handling the sugar trust so gingerly,
he might have magnlfied the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley tariff. Under
this the exports of wheat to Germany,
which were less than S., 900 in 1890, rose
to S7,S42, ,9O2 in 1892, a thousand fold in-
crease, Worth saving. isn't it? Our
exports of wheat flour, during the same
period, rose from $31, ,0S7 to $1,011, 1856,
and our exports of bacon and ham, freed
from unjust determinations, shot up
ports of lard more than doubled, reach
ing figure of almost $S,000,000, near
which they still remain. This Is only
one of the countries by which we are
benefited by the reciprocity clause, and
under the Wilson bill we lose it all.
Cleveland throws overheard all this gain

trust and Whitney's Nova Scotia Coal

these trusts, as it is alleged some of the
Senators arep The Democratic policy
cuts two ways. At the same time that
it puts its greedy fingers into every sugar
bowl in the land and extracts more than
one-third of its contents, it deprives the
American people of the most profitable
and promising department of their for
eign commerce. Is it any wonder that
since this fatuous programme has been
outlined, the Congress and the Admin
istration responsible for it have sus-
tanned at the hands of the people the
most overwhelming rebukes recorded in
our political history?

1t is stated that some of the Chicago

contemplated.

Evasion, betrayal, treachery and com
promise were the animating impulses
which shaped Democratic action on the
tariff, and they have returned to torment
the party that employed them. A thing
of shreds and patches, the creature of
conspiracy and an article of barter and
sale, any tariff bill enacted by the
present Congress will go to the country
with the brand of dishonesty and fraud
written squarely across its face.
