Men asked each other and themselves:
Has it come TO this? Are the Amerl-
can people not worthy to be trusted with
self-governmeut? Is the rule OF law To
be suspended? Are we to be governed
bv blind force, or by reason and constl-
tutional law? Will the constituted au-
thorities abdicate their functions and fall
down before this new and arrogant deS-
potism ,"
Happily, these questions were satlstac-
torly answered. The weakness OF the
Debs rebellion was exposed so soon as
the power of organized authority was
properly brought 10 bear against 1t. by
the prompt ana timely action OF Presi-
dent Cleveland it was speedily deter
mined that this Government is a Govern
ment of law and not of force.
Before the majesty OF the law, backed
by bayoneIs in loyal hands and firmly
grounded upon the changeiess principles
OF right and justice, the conspirators
SUNK away, and the traitors to law and
liberty surrendered. The victory was
won, happily without serious loss or
bloodShed.

IN STRIKING CONTRAST. :
LOG Anrnins Times.


The celebration of Independence Day
yesterday, in Los Angeles, as throughout
the nation, was in striking contrast TO Tue
observance of the glorious and sacred
anniversary one year ago yesterday.
On July 4, 1894, the Debs rebellion was
at the acme of its baieful power. A con-
siderable portion of the country was, In
a sense, within it's control. Law was IN
suited, detied and resisted. 1he COM
mercial and social interests OF great states
were subordinated to the caprices OF
would-be dictator, who assumed an au-
thority superior to all law. The power OF
this dictator was, to q certain extent. an
unknown quantity. While no true
American really doubted that the Deos
re bellion would be crushed. many were
uncertain and apprehensive as TO the
time, expense, disaster and bioooshed
that might ensue as the price Oh us over
throw.
1t was q season of suspense and OF
gloom. Throughout the nation the ardor
aud patriotism which properly appertain
to the natal day of this republic were
held in check. Every loyal citizen felt

There are stirring times ahead in Cen
trail America. The Nicaragua Canal will
be built. Just how the work will be ac-
plished IS an open question. By treaty it
may become a great neutral highway. 1t
may be less than that if it is constructed
solely by aid furnished by the Federal
Government. When steamships aIe
passing from ocean to ocean Central
America will be quite another country.
There will be such reasons for union as
do not exist to-day. All these forecasts
are made with the reasonable certainty
of fultillment. Pressure from without
may be the very influence needed for
confederation. Foreign capital and en-
terprise have made internal revolutions
almost impossible in Mexico. The same
influence will soon be at work for the
consolidation of these Central American

Harry Lord Turned the Switch.

The local police department and
Special Agent John A. Maloney of the
b. & M. have located The man wi o
turned The switch on the Connecticut
division of the b. & NJ, causing the &C
cident August 10. By his own confess
sion Harry Lord, Is years of age, who
lives with w. p. Wilson on South
street, is the boy who did the deed.
l. rd was arrested last Thursday by
Oflic,r A. p. Crossett and hearing
VAS held before Justice Williams in G..
A. Westerns office last Friday night.
The witnesses for the prosecu ion were
Chief Thompson, j. A. Maluney and
Daniel Linton. Mr.. Linton, however,
was not put on the stand. All other
evidence was made unnecessary by the
boys confession in open court.
Lord was put on the stand and said
that he and another boy whom he
thought was Tom Drscoll happened in
the vicinity of the switch shortly after
O'Clock of the afternoon of the acct
dent. The switch was unlocked and
he turned the lever over three times
just to see if he was stout enough to do
1t. He wanted to see how it worked
The evidence showed that the boy
knew he left the switch connecting
with the side track on hich the freig bit
train was standing, but he said he
thought young Driscoll would throw
the lever back, but supposed he was
not stout enough.
The boys left the track and the next
Lord thought of the matter was when
the fire alarm sounded and he went to
the scene of the wreck with the Sham
rock hose company. He was bound
over to the next term of the county
court in the sum of $500, w. P. WILL
son going bail. G. A. Weston, prose-
cuted, and HI. d. Ryder defended.
If the case ever comes to trial it will
be necessary to prove that the deed was
done wilfully and maliciously. The
statutory penalty for meddling with
switches is from two to ten years in
states prison and if as a result of the
meddling personal injury was sustained
or property destroyed, the penalty may
be increased not to exceed 20 years in
the peui entiary.
The switch was unlocked and no one
near to hinder anyone's meddling with
it. This we understand was in viola
ton of the rules of the road and also
understand that strict instructions have
been given that all switches shall herr
after be kept locked. Formerly a
switchman was detailed to look after
this switch but the road cut down the
number of it's emf loyes and at the time
of the accident the switching was being
done by trainmen.

Death OF Charles Hapg0od.

Charles Hapgood, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Bellows
Falls, died Thursday, August % at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. ii. G.
, Hawkins in Fall River, Mass. The
body was brought to Bellows Falls
last Saturday, and the funeral was
from the Episcopal church, Rev. ID. l..
Sanford officiating. The inferno 1t
was in the Episcopal hurying grou~d
by the side of his wife who died in
1880.
Mr.. Hapg1od was born in Bellows
Falls September II, 1905, and at the
time of his death was nearly so years
of age. Although he learned the paper
trade when young man he never fol
lowed the business, but was farmer SC
long as he followed any vocation. Since
the death of his wife, formerly Miss
Harriet Silsby of Charlestown, N. HI
in 1880, Mr.. Hargood has made his
home with his four married daughters.
Mr.. Hapgood's children, all of HON
were present at the funeral are Mrs. b..
H. Burt of Rutland, Mrs. H. G. Haw-
kins of Fall River, Mass, and Mrs. E.
M. Hawkins of the same place, Mrs.
Orrin Wescott Providence, RI, Charles
B. Hapgood of Cleveland, o., and
Harry Hapgood of Fall River, Mass.
Mr.. Hapgood was brother of Mrs.
Frances NJ. Williams and uncle to
James H. and John H. Williams OF
this place.
A large number of relatives and
friends attended the service last Satur-
day filling the church to its capacity.
Among those who We're present from a
distance in addition to the immediate
members of the family were Mrs. c. II.
West and Miss Annie of Cnarlestown,
n. Il. Mrs. f w. Porter of Spring
field, Misses Bessie and Carrie Haw-
kins of Fall River, Mrs. John w.
Marsh of Chicago, Mrs. Charles Rich
of New York, Mrs. Edward Olcott of
Muncie, Ind.
In the death Of Mr.. Hapgood Bellows
Falls loses a lifelong and highly hon
ored citizen. Because of his public
spirit and long residence he was
identified with every movement con-
nected with the growth and develop
ment of the town. He was member
of the Episcopal church and always
jealous in good works. His circle of
friends and acquaintance was wide,
and he was well spoken of by all
classes. His death is not only be-
reavement to his family and friends
but great loss to his native town.
