Hon. John j. Davis an ex. Con
gresham and Democrat not only
OF the purest type but one of the
brainest men tt tar,, uuered
the following resolution IN the
Democratic convention in 1894
and the same was unanimously
adopted. The resolution began
by saying that the Wilson bill, as
it passed the House fell far short
of fulfilling the Democratic
pledges to the people. but as far
as it went it was a sincere effort,
&c.
The Senate bill as ii passed
was next treated by MIR. Davis
and here are his exact woros:
The acceptance of the Senate
Gornan-Brice sugar trust bill.
with the protection therein ac-
corded 10 trusts and mcnopolies
which is but small per cent less
in all its features than that given
TO them by the odious Mckinley
bill, and the lowering OF the flag
Of tariff reform evidenced by
such acceptance and the hosting
Of the piratical flag of the Seua.
torial conspirators and the trusts
and other combines, under pre-.
tense OF fulfilling pledges made
TO the people, is a cowardly sur.
render of the principles Of De.
mocracy.
We denounce the Senate bill,
spotted as it is with protection
and the passage of winch was
secured at dictation of trusts and
monopolies.

THE FUNNIEST OF ALL.


How amusing it is to hear our
Democratic friends attempting to
praise the Wilson bill for some
little business activity that is APP
parent here and there The Ne,c
Dominion last week shouted
up go wages again. This
time it is at Lebanon, Pa, where
500 men employed by the Rolling
Mill company there were on
Saturday night notified that there
would be an increase of 10 per
cent. TO 60 into effect at once.
And this under Cleveland tariff
reform"
Every few days the Register
gives column of space to the
factories that have started up or
have increased wages. Still the
mills are not running at the
speed they were three years ago,
and the joyful increase of wages
is only getting them up from
where they were placed by Demo
cratic tariff tinkering. Has any
one heard of wages going up
higher than they were three
years ago ? We guess not. 1t
is only partial restoration OF
the former prosperity.

What appears most laughable
now is to hear Democrats frantic
ally endeavorlng. to eulogize the
Wilson bill for making prospect

tainly our Democratic friends do
not think the people have for
gotten their abuse of the So
called Wilson bill when it was
passed. Many of them denounc-
ed it and said 1t was not the VIII.
son bill. They said il was a pure
Republican tariff bill. Surely
such a bill would not cause pros

ina pupg upt,l tbe wlde old forest was, yo

ing guns until tho wide old forest was1y 1yo- cal with joy.
 Yes, the poor child, cold and hungry, his little bare feet, limbs and hands cru ely torn and swollen, was found and alive
 No wonder his sister tainted and his mother was so paralyzed with joy that she could neither move, speak nor weep, when he was tenderly brought to them. Nor was it strange that as the good news flew from cabin to cabin throughout the set clement, it prompted both merrymaking and devout thanksgiving.
 Two generations agol That little boy, if still living, is an old man. The unut- terable anguish of those who loved him, the neighborly sympathy and heroic eff forts in his behalf are all of the past.
 But have there been no lost children in Columbia or elsewhere during the last sixty-four years? Boys and girls from other than lOg-cabin homes, who have wandered out in their sweet springtime and found, whichever way they turned in city or country, the allurements of vice, the drinking customs of society, and al- ways and everywhere the open saloon Have not thousands and thousands of such been so cruelty wounded, bewildered and discouraged that they have never found their way home?
 We see them every day, hungry of heart, deserted by friends, their fortunes wasted, characters scared, and hopes for time and eternity blasted.
 Could every mother but feel her boys danger. If every intelligent citizen and wise statesman would but hear and heed the cry, "The children of the Republic are being lost-everybody to the rescue!" how the torchlights of truth would flash through the wilderness of sin, not only for the rescue of those already astray, but for the discovery and destruction of soci ety's most deadly foe-the saloon.
 Then might the drink curse be banished from our beloved land, and the paths to happiness, usefulness and honor be made safe and pleasant to little feet
 God give us men good enough and brave enough to say by word and deed, the children shall not be lost"
 A Toronto saloon keeper is reported as saying that the introduction of electric cars in that city has largely diminished the sales in saloons, as workmen who previously walked home in companies of from five to twenty and stopped at the saloons on the way for a social drink, now ride home, and once there spend the even- ings with their families.

WHAT BECAME OF IT7

Now that the fact of the shOIt tage and forgeries on the part of the late Cashier Risley has become assured, speculation turns to the problem of what he could have done with the money. There is ap- parently nothing in his private life to &C., reasonable suppositiOn is that he apprO- priated it in outside speculation and in support of business enterprises in which he was interested.
 He was treasurer of the Citizens Gas and Electric Light company which was bonded for 12O, 900 and 1t is thought highly possible that some of the money may have gone in the payment of the interest on these. There are also probabilities in connection with the Natchaug Silk con- pany in which he was largely interested. The officers of the company decline to say how much genuine paper is shown by their books to have been carried by the bank <, and do not know how much the bank ex- aminer has found.
 Attorney Charles Phelps of Rockville was in Willimantic on Thursday, and in behalf of MT. Risley's sister, Mrs. F. M. Adams, made application to the probate court for the appointment of an adminis- trator on MT. Risley's estate, he having left no will, though it was generally un- derstood that he had. The application will be heard Friday, May 3, at 10 a. m. The town of Windham has SIC, O,OOO tied up in the bank, which was designed to pay off loan next month. The city's deposit amounts to $5,O39.
 The preliminary report of MT. DoOley places the loans and discounts at $334 ,OOO, $44, ,OOO of which no trace can be found ; $25, ,OOO is supposed to be forged and $34, 900 more of re-discounted paper is in the same shape. The examiner estimates that the shortage will be $126, ,OOO, winch if the stockholders were all assessable, would be just about made good by the $1OO, ,OOO capital and 26, 900 surplus.
 MT. Risley's bondsmen are said to be Ansel Arnold, A. T. Fowler, John M. Hall and the late Stephen G. Rlsley, father of the late cashier. The bond was executed in January, 1878, and has probably ex. pired by the limitation provided by stat. ute of IF years. If some of the missing paper is not found Ol some supposed for. geries are not genuiue, and particularly ii the surviving bonGlsmen are not holden il | looks se # tho 1epositors would lose con. siderable.

The Kansas legislature is engaged in Investigating queer phase of official as- ininity. The story as told in the testimo- ny of w. s. Hancock, late storekeeper at the Kansas penitentiary, is that while he was employed at the penitentiary he was approached by George H. Schonewaldt, a convict, and informed that there was a large treasure hidden in Arkansas, the location of which he knew. He repeated the story to Warden Chase, who in turn told it to Governor Lewelling. After the matter was discussed with Schonewaldt, Governor Lewelling granted him pardon, and two days after it was delivered at the prison, the governor, the warden, and Hancock went with the pardoned convict to Arkansas in search of the treasure. While on the way to the point indicated as the hiding place, Schonewaldt gave his distinguished companions the slip and has not since been seen. Schonewaldt was one of the most notorious criminals in the prison and was serving his third term. He had told the treasure story to three of Warden Chase's predecessors.

To The Rescue. nv -A-Y -N----


 BY HANNA A. FOSTER.
 "A child lost every man to the res- cue!" was the cry thai startled the i'm mates of Wesley Hulet's log cabin one morning in the early spring of 1880.
 The man who had so excitedly an- nounced his errand had come from Col umbia, Lorain county, Ohio, to Abbeville, Medina county. His horse was rocking with sweat; every moment was precious A few hurried sentences sufficed to tell the story.
 A little boy, six or seven years of age, had left his home the previous morning to go to the sugar camp where his broth CTS were boiling down sap. When the brothers returned home at evening, and it was learned that he had not been to the sugar camp at all during the day, there was scene of sore distress and wild ex- citement. Hickory torches were soon aflame, and out into the night sped feet footed messengers to arouse the neigh bOrs, most of whom were miles away. In an incredibly short time a rescue party was formed and a definite plan of proce. dure adopted.
 If any one should find the child sig. nal gun was to be fired, three shots ir quick succession if alive, two, if dead and the party within hearing were to re. spond, each by single shot, thereby pass ing the news along till it should reach the entire party. The dense forests were al that time infested with bears, wolves anc wildcats, and the treacherous vail of the panther was sometimes heard in the vi cinity of the clearings. The lost chile was poorly clad his jacket and trousers of coarse homespun were old and patched and his feet were bare, for shoes, espec. ially for children, were luxuries not easily attainable.
 Hour after hour, men and boys, with the kindliness and courage which charac terized the pioneers of those times, carry ing their loaded guns and followed by their faithful dogs, made their way through brush and bramble, up and dowI hills, crossing gullies and wading ice bordered creeks, too full of neighborly sympathy and anxiety to take any note O danger or fatigue. So passed tho night Morning came, and the signal gun had no been fired.
 According to previous agreement th' men gathered at the home of the nearly distracted parents, partook of simple re treatments, held brief consultation, sen to adjoining townships for endorsements and then, with even more intensity of pur pose, went forth to renew the search.
 Late in the afternoon, as one of tn, men was picking his way around fallel tree he was hailed by plaintive cry, anc the words, "Mr. Warner, have you any thing to eat in your pockets ?"
 Bang! Bang! Bang Found and alive rang out the blessed tidings. At once from all quarters were heard the answer

How to Help Your Town.
 In the first place do something your self for the town. Don't keep scolding because you want something done, and B, who is abundantly able to do a large part of the work, declines to help, or don't do as much as you would have him do. Very likely B also has interest in public mat ters, and does many public spirited things. He prefers to elect tor himself the enter prises he is 10 aid, and the schemes he wants to have carried out. We all know individuals who are seized with impulses to do something for the public-by induc- ing some one else to do it. It may be by starting brass band, or giving some one a deserved testimonial. His part consists in booming the matter urging others to do, and gobbling up the glory when the object is accomplished. B does not share his enthusiasm, and his con- tribution is smaller than our enthusiast thinks that it should be. "The old skin flint; he is able to do this thing alone, and if had his money 1 would do it." We will admit for the sake of argument that he would, because he considers it a very important thing to have done. But B is interested in putting new organ in- to church, in the public library, in put ting down illegal rum selling, or some oth- CT form of public improvement, and wants to do what he can, at the present, for these objects. And, quietly, without blus- ter. does it. Of these two citizens which is the better? Enthusiasm in public mat ters is all right, but enthusiasm needs bal last. Enthusiasm we'll ballasted is need ed attribute to good citizenship. Many great public improvements ride into be- ing on a wave of mOmentary excitement,

Losses. Upon the white sea sand There sat a pilgrim band, Telling the losses which their lives had
 known,
 While evening waned away From breezy cliff and bay, And the strong tides went out with weary
 moan.
 One spake with quivering lip Of fair freighted ship, With all his household to the deep gone
 down.
 But one had wilder woe, For fair face long ago, Lost in the darker depths of a great town. There were some who mourned their
 youth
 With most loving truth, For its brave hopes and memories ever
 green,
 And one upon the West Turned all eye that would not rest, For far-off hills whereon it's joys had been. Some talked of vanished gold, Some of plOud honOrs told, Some spake of friends that were their
 trust no more; And one of green grave, Beside foreign wave, That made him sit so lonely on the shore. But when their tales were done, There spake am ong them one, A stranger, seeming from all sorrow free. Sad losses have ye met, But mine is heavier yet, For believing heart hath gone from me. " Alas" these pilgrims said, ''FOr the living and the dead, For fortune's cruelty, for loves sure cross, For the wreck of land and sea, But hOwe'er it came to thee Thine stranger, is life's last and heaviest
 loss. = Frn1lceS Br01nn
