Patriotism to the Front.

The Democrats in Congress having
shown their inability to meet the threaten
ing financial situation, the Republican
leaders have put patriotism above partisan
ship and have come forward with efforts to
help the treasury over its pressing emer-
gency Foremost among these PROPOSE
tions is that of the veteran and conserva-
tive Senator John Sherman of New York,
who makes no attempt to reform the cur
rency system, but aims simply to relieve
the wants of the treasury by the issue of
three per cent coin bonds and certificates,
the latter of the nature of popular loan,
in denominations of $25, $50 and $780, \
sufficient number of these two classes of
obligations are to be tloated, at the discre-
tion of the secretary of the treasury, to
wipe out the current deficiency and to re-
deem notes.
In the House Mr.. Walker of Massachu-
setts has introduced a measure of similar
purport. A proposition by Senator Ali
son to issue eXchequer notes to run one,
two and three years seems at present most
likely to receive favorable consideration.
None of these measures touches the "cur.
rency reform" called for by the administra.
tion. Their purpose is simply to put the
treasury in funds to meet its obligations
until the revenues can be increased and the
whole subject dealt with intolligently.

Frank II. Farr.

Frank II. Farr died at his home in
Crosby block early Thursday morning.
He had been in failing health since last
summer. For several weeks it had been
evident that his condition was serious, and
for few days there had been no hope of
recovery. The cause of death was heart
disease Mr.. Farr was born in Chester
field, y. H August 4, 1886, being one of
the IL children of Mr.. and Mrs. Worcester
Farr. He grew tC manhood in that town,
and for six years was a stage driver on the
route between Brattleboro and Keene.
He afterward had saddle livery in this
town for several years. He was one of
the first to engage in the hotel business at
Spofford lake, being there every season
from 1873 to 1885. Col. A. T. Dunton
was his partner during part of this time
Mr.. Farr had lived in Brattleboro since
1885, running Lakeside" at Spofford lake,
with Col. Dunton as partner, for two
seasons. Mr. Farr was married in Oct
ober, 1859, to Phila NJ, daughter of Brad
ley Prentiss of this town. She died March
%, 1864. One son was born of this mar
riage, Sidney II. Farr, the Brattleboro
letter carrier Mr.. Farr contracted sec
ond alliance Jan. 30, 1866, with Ellen j.

600 Miles of street Rnilway Tied up---
5000 Troops Under Arms---the Public
sympathy with the strikers.
The Brooklyn strike of motormen and
conductors on the electric railroads which
began last week, tying up 600 miles of road,
has developed into the most serious situa-
ton of its kind ever seen in this country,
and has necessitated calling out the militia
and resulted in bloodshed The munich
pal police force was first found to be made
quate to protect the cars or to cope with
the disorders attending the attempt to run
them on Friday, when, in answer to the
sherff's request the 23d regiment was
called out and the Second brigade of 5000
men was ordered to be ready for an emer-
gency. This brigade came out for service
during Friday night, and Saturday morn
ing the depOts, stables and important posi-
tions of the companies were under guard
The militia charged a riotous crowd Satur-
day night and one man was wounded with
a bayonet. Small riots and disturbances
occurred Sunday, and fewer cars were
operated than on Saturday.
The mob fired shots at the troops Mon
day evening and return volleys were fired
over the heads of the mob. Two police
men were accidentally wounded. Two men
in a street crowd were wounded by the
troops Tuesday, one of them fatally. AL
though the companies declared that, cOul1
they have protection, they would run their
cars, they were entirely unable to make
progress. Some gain was made however,
Wednesday, but there were continual
L,t. sfril~
volleys from the guardsmen answering fu-
SHADES of stones and bricks. AD unfortu-
nate event of Wednesday was the shooting,
fatally, of Thomas Carney, roofer at work
on housetop, who did not move quickly
when the order came to stand back as the
streets were being cleared. He was mis-
taken for a brick-thrower.
While the blockade of public travel is
strongly condemned the general public
sympathy is unmstakably with the strik-
ers. 1t is charged that the companies
have defied the laws as to stock watering,
hours of labor and the speed of their cars.
In no city has there been such a slaughter
of the people by the electric cars. In an
swer to reasonable requests for arbitration
| the companies answer that there is nothing
to arbitrate, and that in justice to Their
stockholders they cannot increase their ex-
| penditures, while the fact is that they are
simply placing their men on starvation
wages in order to earn dividends on stock
and bonds that have been watered enor
mously.
The men offered Wednesday to leave the
whole matter to VIM. Richardson, secre-
tary and treasurer of the American and
! New York street railway association, but
the companies refused to listen to this oil
any proposal. Ssssa

Department of Agriculture Reports.

Senator Proctor announces that he has
for distribution 100 copies of the Gre
port of the Department of Agriculture for
1885," and few reports of years previous
to 1892. These reports are of great value
to some, but to many who receive them
when they are sent to lists of names they
are of no value because they take no inter
est in the contents of the books. To make
sure that the reports fall into the hands of
people to whom they will be of use the
Senator says: sit seems to me if they are
worth having they are worth asking for,
and that those who really care for them,
and to whom they will be most useful, will
be glad to write for them. l will therefore
send them to those who ask for them by
letter or postal until the supply is exhaust
ed" Windham county farmers who wish
for these reports will do well TO write for
them at once. 1t is certainly a wise way
to make the distribution.

Two wIndham County Men.
From the Burlington Free Press


EX-Gov. Levi X. Fuller of Brattleboro
has many more sides than some people
supposed he had before he became govern
or of this state. He showed that he could
not only fix a standard of pitch for the
musical manufacturers of the country and
organize and drill the model battery in the
United States, but that he could also give
the state an administration that would
stand out as progressive and creditable in
every way. In private conversation the
other day eX. GOV. Fuller exposed still an
other practical turn in his nature. He eX-
pressed the belief that the farmers of Yer
mont were not realizing what they should
from their horses. AS rule they sell the
raw material and experts take the horses
and make them fine saddle and carriage
animals, reaping liberal profit for their
work. The horse breeders like other Yer
monters have ideas of their own, and the
suggestion is all that is necessary.
Another man whom the people came to
appreciate during Gov. Fuller's admins
tration is Col. j. II. Goulding. He dem
onstrated that he was a man of many
parts, and as treasurer of the Wilmington
savings bank, to which position he has just
been elected, he will make a model official

The Young Man i'm Politics.

In answer to the question, 'If you had
to do it over again would you engage in
politics." Col. George w. Hooker of Brat
tleboro is reported as saying that he
"would, of course" And it is not likely
that the colonel considers it too late for
him to start in again either. By the way,
Col. Hooker has a son who is a bright
young man, well started in Yale college,
and we understand there is strong hope of
getting him through that rich boys school
without spelling him. If this is accom-
plished and James Fisk Hooker concludes
to remain in Vermont, we predict that the
young man in politics will be heard from
with no uncertain field

Uprising in Hawaii.

A steamer which arrived at San Fran
cisco from Honolulu last Friday brought
news of an attempt, on the 9th of Janu-
ary, by the native and half-white royalsts
in Hawaii, to overthrow the republic and
reinstate the queen. The uprising was
easily suppressed and the insurgents were
driven out into the bush, but sad feature
of the revolt was the fatal shooting of
Chas. l.. Carter, one of the leading Young
men of the island, and a member of the
board of five commissioners who negotiat-
ed the treaty of annexation with President
Harrison in 1898. The news of the upris-
ing caused a sensation in Washington and
there was prompt condemnation by the
Republicans on the floor of the House of
the course of the administration in neg
lecting to keep United States man-of-
war at Honolulu. Early this week the
Philadelphia, of the Pacific coast squadron,
was ordered to proceed at once to Homo
lulu, but Mr.. Cleveland took pains to eX-
plain, in public statement, that this ac-
ton had no special significance, and was
III no way a recognition of responsibility
by our government for the state of affairs
in Hawaii.

The slghtIess to Read KipIing's Jungle
Book.

From New York Letter in Literary World
Mr.. Frank Scott, president of the Cen
tury company, has received letter from
the American printing house for the blind,
at Louisville, KY, asking permission to re-
produce in raised characters, for the use of
the sightless, Mr.. Kipling's jungle book.
The Century company and the author have
granted permission, and doubtless feel hon
ored at having the volume so treated, owing
to the fact that very few such requests
have been made regarding modern ltera-
ture. In an enclosure to Mr. Scott the SUI
perintendent of the American printing
house for the blind shows that books trans
lated from English into "New York point, -
which has taken the place of raised letters,
cost about two or three times as much as

Martin Healy of Agawam has story to
tell of tobacco growing that beats the rec

tobacco, wrapping paper included, on two

The question as to when the new tariff
law took effect-whether on its passage,
Aug. Is, or on Aug. l, the date named in
the bill-will go to the circuit court of APP
peals, and very likely from there to the SUI
preme court of the United States. In
recent case in the United States circuit
count at New York Judge Wheeler held
that the law took effect on the day named
in the bill, Aug. l. The treasury officials
hold, however, that the final decision must
be that the law is not retroactive, and on
this ground the United States attorney
general advises an appeal.

The withdrawal of treasury gold for eX-
port still continues and the reserve has al
ready dropped below SGs, 100000, while it
is estimated that the coming week will see
from SS,000,000 to Sl0,0O0,000 more of
gold sent abroad. In other words it has
100000 received for bonds sold, leaving the
treasury no better off than when the first
call for bonds was made. In reality it is
worse off by the additional interest, 5000
600 year, which must be paid on the two
bond issues. And the end is not yet.
