TERRIBLE OCEAN DISASTER.

The steamship Elbe, Of the North
German Lloyd Line, was sunk early
Wednesday morning in collision with
an unknown steamer, and $50 or more
people went down with her into the
waters of the North Sea. Only tWen
ty-tWo of her total number of pas
sengers and crew are known to have
been saved. These were landed after
extreme hardships at Lowestoft by
fishing smack which had rescued
them as they tossed about in a frail
ships BOAT.
The Elbe was only few hours out
from Bremen on her way to New York
when, in the darkness and mist of the
early morning, an unknown steamer
crashed into her at full speed. Water
surged into the great hole that was
stove in the Elbe's side, and the pan
ic-stricken passengers, aroused from
their beds by the tremendous shock,
crowded up the companion ways to
find the great vessel laundering be-
yond the possibility of hope that she
might be saved.
Of the three boats that the ship car
ried, one was swamped Immediately
by the waves that dashed over the
ships side. The other boats held
twenty people each, and, after fran
! tic struggle, the crew with few pas
sengers piled into them. One of these
boats was that picked up by the smack
Wild Flower. The fate of the other
is not known.
AS the only information of the dis
aster comes from the twenty two
half-frozen castaways at Lowestoft,
no story can be told of the final settl-
| ing of the Elbe, or the hopeless battle
that those $50 or more people fought
against death in darkness and terror.
The vessel was already partly sub
merged when the two lifeboats got
away, and the vain struggles of crew
and passengers must have been quick
| ly ended by the seas overwhelming
power. In darkness and confusion
indescribable the Elbe, with her $50
souls went down.
There is some fear that the loss of
| life may exceed the reported number.
! The name of Miss Anna Buecker, one
[ of the survivors, does not appear at
all upon the passenger list and it is
| known that often passengers are car

IN DIFFICULT Y.

President Cleveland's message, ask
ing for authority to issue low per
cent bonds to meet current expenses
and to take up the greenback treasury
notes is both patriotic and sensible.
The expenses of government must be
met. If it is necessary to borrow
money for this purpose it must be
done to tide over this emergency. In
order to stay the outflow of gold from
the government boarding box it is
recommended that the greenbacks be
taken up with bonds. This sort of
money, while very convenient for the
citizen, may become very inconven-
lent for the government which issued
it. It is class of Indebtedness which
was created in the time Of war by ne
cessity,a "a promise which is redeemable
in gold at the option of the holder.
Several hundred millions of these are
out and just now those who are hold
ing this sort of currency are demand
ing gold.
The treasury is called upon by the
holders of those promises and must
answer in the yellow coin. Another
unfortunate condition about this sort
of currency is that it can not be can
celled as note paid Or a bond taken
if worn out, and, at present, without
means to do so, must not destroy it as
a circulating medium. 1t must be re-
issued Or paid out to meet govern
ment expenses. Still another bad
thing about this particular sort of
money is the fact that it may make
demand of the treasury dozen times
a year-as often as it can make the
circuit from the holder to the treasury
and from the hand of the man to
whom government pays it back to the
gold buying miser or speculatOr. One
great cause of this dilemma is the fact
that the resources of the government
are insufficient to meet expenses, and
secondly, that there is more or less
fear that there is to be a crisis in fl
nancial affairs, when gold will be at
premium, or when by some legisla
ton silver will become a standard of
values.
The president is in q bad sweat. He
is sound on financial questions, but un-
sound on his tariff reform ideas, as
the present condition of things shows.
He can well blame himself for the
predicament into which the country
hos cOr1a ur5as tho orqofioaI o. ;,1.vir, o.
out Of the doctrines he advocated
several years ago. He is terribly en-
barrassed in trying to do anything by
the opposition Of the silver advocates
OF the West and South, who would be
glad to plunge the country into such
a despairing state as to drive out gold
and compel a resort to silver.

The excellent record of Gov. @. II.
Sheldon Of South Dacota resulted in
his re election last fall by a largely
increased majority. His message to
the legislature recently convened is
an able paper and, while it contains
%, 200 words, it is so full of important
state matters Call of which are treat
ed in very masterly manner)that its
length is overlooked. OF course when
we state that the Governor is a La
noble county boy, his excellent re-
cord is easily accounted for. Gov.
Sheldon is a native of Johnson and
enlisted from this county, being a
member of the Lamoille county COM
pany of the 7th Vermont. He was a
lieutenant and served his country
faithfully. His old friends, and espe-
ciaIly his comrades, are pleased to
learn of his prosperity and those who
knew him here are not in the least
surprised at the excellent account he
is giving of himself, as he is made of
the right kind of material.-C Citizen.

thinks best to take to enable the treas
ury to redeem it's obligations in gold.
He favors an issue of bonds of denom-
nations of $50 and $50 and their null
tiples, bearing interest not to exceed
per cent. He sees no reason why
the bonds should not be payable in 30
years. He recommends that national
bank notes under $40 be cancelled,
and that silver certificates exceeding
SO be replaced by smaller denomina-
tions, as constant means for the
maintenance of a reasonable supply
of gold in the treasury. Our duties
on imports could be paid in gold, al
lowing all other duties to the govern
ment to be paid in any other form of
money. The president concludes by
confessing his reluctance to issue
bonds if the results will be no better
than the late issues, and expresses
his determination to leave nothing
undone which will improve the situa-
ton or check suspicion of disability
to pay all national obligations. He
urges congress to edo something''an
to let patriotism stand above parti-
sanship.
Ex-Gov Holbrook of Brattleboro,
one of the two living governors, who
figured in the affairs of the country
during the rebellion, is hale and hearty.
At the campfire gathering held at
Brattleboro, Jan 80, he read an ex-
cellent article on his acquaintance
and correspondence with President
Lincoln, which in excellence of COM
position, clearness of thought and
general character would have been a
credit to any man, and was of great
interest. Commander in Chief, Gen.
Lawler of Illinois, listened to the pa
per with marked interest. All old
soldiers who encamped at Brattle-
boro will remember Gen. Holbrook.
His paper stated that in the crisis Of
the times, when Lincoln was in great
straits to know what to do, Gov. Hol-
brook wrote him, advising him to
make a call for 500, 900 men. He prom
ised on the part of the State of Yer
mont that they should be armed,
clothed and paid by the State if gen
eral government could not do it. 9th
er loyal governors pledged their quo
tas and the same support, and the
president made call for SOC, 600, which
was soon followed by call for an ad-
ditional 100000 nine months men.
This great addition Of strength at that
time, without doubt, was the force
that broke the rebellion. To Gov.
Holbrook, as much and probably
more than to any single man, belongs
the credit of staying the hands of Lin
coin in the time Of the country's dir
est need.

1t seems almost remarkable that
there should be pensioners on the
rolls of the United States who receive
only two dollars per month. 1t is not
excusable on the ground of economy,
for the total amount expended by the
government for these small pensions
is but drop in the appropriations.
The pensions are granted for disabili-
ty and it is readily seen that two dol
lars or four is little benefit to a man
who is in any measure disabled in the
service That this small sum should
be the minimum is an "absurdity"an
''burlesque'' upon the spirit which
should actuate the government in
granting pensions. The amendment
to the pension appropriation bill pro-
posed by Senator Hawley, and which
passed, making the minimum six dol
lars, will meet with popular approval.
Any recognition Of veteran soldiers
disability should be sufficient to in
some measure relieve the effects of
the cause for which it is granted.

Since the introduction of Cod liver
Oil into the treatment of consunp-
ton, the average life OF. patients has
increased from two to eight years.
The number of cases cured in the
early stages of the disease has multi
piled. and physicians now assert that
consumption can almost always be
averted if good care and treatment
are begun in time.
Cod-liver Oil ought always to be
a part of the treatment, and it should
be taken in the form of SCOTS Emul-
sion which is palatable and does not
derange digestion. SCOTS Emul-
sion is in every way superior to plain
oil. Don't aeeebt q substitute.
