The Troy Press. Democratic, is sadly
inquiring for Possible Moses in the
Red Sea-" What it means is an availa
BILE Democratic cand date for 1896. Pat
tison is discredited, Cleveland retired,
Hill submerged, Gray dead, Wilson
buried, German out of the question,
stevenson (Adlai) makes us smile" and
so on. The only possible candidates for
the role in the Press's opinion are the
two Willies, William G. Whitney and
William E. Russell. Somehow these
men do not seem built on the Moses
pattern. Whitney, who knows which
side his bread is buttered on, might serve
as Parkway Moses, at pinch, but the
wOrshippers of the silver calf who now
control the Democratic party will have
no use for Russell. The Democratic
party is in the Red Sea, right enough, as
the esteemed Troy Press picturesquely
describes it. but there is no Moses in
sight to-day who cares for the contract
of leading such heterogeneous collec-
ton of Populists and peanut politicians
out of its peril. And no voice is heard
from the shore save a muffled cry that
sounds like "Schwim ont, OGrady." -

Shall Cen. Doubleday Rest in an Un-
Marked Grave?


The remains of Gen. Abner Doubleday
rest in Arlington, Va, cemetery, in a
grave which is unmarked save by small
iron cross placed upon it by a Grand
Army post, which will soon rust away.
Two years ago at meeting of the sur
vvors of the First Army corps, steps
were taken to procure the erection of a
modest monument, to be placed upon
the grave, at a cost of thousand dollars
OF this amount six hundred dollars has
been contributed, leaving $400 still to be
raised. 1t is exceedingly desirable that
this sum be secured without further de-
lay.
Abner Doubleday was graduate of
West Point. He was second in command
at Fort Sumter, S. c., at its first bonn
bardment, April 12th-14th, 1861, and
aimed the first gun of the war on the
side of the Union; was appointed briga-
dIer-generdl February Sth, 1862, and COM
manded brigade in the Pope campaign,
and under Mcclellan in the Maryland
campaign, 1862. He commanded a divis-
ION of the First corps from Septemb 4r
14th, 1862, till June 25th, 1868. He then
commanded the First corps up to and
during the first day at Gettysburg, where
seven thousand seven hundred men of
that division held thirty thousand of the
enemy in check for six hours and half
and captured over five thousand prison
ers, losing five thousand three hundred
men, but securing the position upon
which the greatest battle of the war was
fought Stannard's s Second Vermont bri-
gade was attached to Gen. Doubleday's S
division, and was put in by him to re-
store the broken Union line, on the left
of Cemetery Hill, on the second day of
the battle. What the brigade did on the
third day is known to all.
Gen. Doubleday held the Vermonters
under his command in the highest re-
gard. In his reports and in his history
of the Gettysburg campaign he gave
them the distinct credit of striking the
decisive blow in the battle of Gettys-
burg and the fame of Stannard's S brigade
is largely due to his recognition and gen.
erous praise. Gen. Doubleday died a
poor man, leaving to his widow only a
little home encountered by a mortgage.
His comrades, and citizens who value
brave and patriotic service, must erect
his monument. Vermonters, whether
veterans of the First corps, or citizens
who are unwilling that the last resting
place of man who rendered such dis.
tinguished service should remain un,
marked, are requested to assist in the
his grave.

The Wilson Tariff a Benefit to the

few others which nettcd more than $S,-
100000 additional-jewelry, carriages,
artificial flowers, clocks, brushes, paper,
perfumeries, musical instruments-mak-
ing S114,OOO,OO0 revenue collected from
imports out of the total of S11T000.OO0.
To reduce duties upon articles which are
luxuries of the rich, furnishing two
thirds of the whole tariff revenue, is the
chief result of the Wilson act.

The death of Col. NJ. $. Colburnhas left
Vermont without a representative on
the Republican National Committee, and
inasmuch as the vacancy cannot be filled
by the party in convention until 1896, it
will fall naturally to the members of the
State committee to select his successor.
There are number of gentlemen in Yer.
mont, says Green Mountain TourisL" in
the Free Press, who would grace this po-
stion of honor and responsibility, but it
requires peculiar combination of capac-
ity and circumstances to enable man to
properly discharge its duties. He must
be man of sound political judgement,
of experience in party affairs, and of
marked discretion. He must moreover
be we'll enough provided with this
worlds good to afford the large expenses
which are incidental to the place, and he
must also have his affairs IN such con-
dition as to be able to leave their man
agement to other hands for protracted
periods.

The Democratic Congress.

This body expired at noon yesterday.
The New York Press says, it was
despised even by itself and was without
an apologest anywhere in the country.
The sd was the first Congress since the
war IN which the Democratic party has
had clear and constant majority in both
Houses. 1t furnished to the Democratic
party its first opportunity to show the
people what it had been meaning during
all these years by its criticisms of Re-
publican policies and its promises to in
augurate a new and better state of af-
fairs. Concerning its record there are

Vermont A Menaeerie.

In his talk before the Algonquin club
says the Free Press, Mr.. John W. Tit
comb, secretary of the Verment Fish
and Game League, read an article taken
from the Revenue Scientfque of Paris,
and which, if the statements therein are
believed, must give Europeans a queer
idea of Vermont UNITED States). The
humor of the statements in the article,
however, will be fully appreciated by
Vermonters, who can enjoy an OCCASION
al joke on themselves.
The article states: "The farmers of
Vermont have FOR some time been much
annoyed by the ravages caused by wild
animals in their fields. The deer invade
the fields and browse on the grains, and
they have become so tame that it is
scarcely practicable to drive them away;
they minge with the herds of cattle, and
are encountered on the main roads close
to the towns. The porcupines are
equally the objects of the farmers male
dctions, because of their numbers and
the noise they make by fighting around
the farmhouses at night. Partridges are
very abundant also, and cause serious
devastation among fruits and certain
vegetables. Bears are numerous and en-
croaching, and are frequently met with
in orchards, devouring fruits, near dwell
ings, on the roads and in sight of villages
and towns. These animals have also be.
come so numerous that they are not
frightened away by the sight of man.
This exceptional and alarming abund-
ance of wild animals is due to the laws
for the protection of game, laws which

BABYHOOD.

One of the most interesting Nursery
Problems" discussed in the March num-
Der of BabyhOod is that concerning the
popular apprehension about unusually
bright children. The medical editor, DR..
Yale, makes it very clear why such fears
are largely groundless. He also answers
questions as to 1.-THE dangers of excessive
crying" unusual wakefulness," "the
causes of stammering," etc. Another
valuable medical article deals with the
teeth. "a dissatisfied baby gives hui
morous utterances to the woes of child
hood in high life. Nursery Helps and
Novelties" and 'The Mothers Parlia-
ment," contain much practical advice ON
such matters as teaching our little ones
to be helpful welcome offerings to the
little stranger" teaching versus train
ing" etc. S1.OO year, Babyhood Pub.

VT, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1895.

no Two OPINIONS. Everybody agrees.
1t makes no difference whether he is
Republican or Democrat or Mugwump
or POpulist, whether he is in Congress or
out OF it-everybody, from the President
of the United States to the last citizen on
the promoLtories of Maine or the shoals
of Key West, sums up the character of
this Congress in three words: Sectional
ism, incOmpetency, destruction.
Now and again some especially vicious
enemy may indulge in special criticisms
such as is involved in the charge of
''party perfidy and party dishOnor," but
the motive and the fact and the reason,
or both motive and fact, are found in
these hateful words: SectiOnalism, in
competency, destruction.
The individuals composing this Con-
gress, considered as individuals, are
neither dull nor bad. In almost every
case they are men of large information,
good intentions and more than average
if not high ability. But they are Demo
Gratis and they became Democrats be-
cause of their mental construction and
habits. The word Democrat is a
name applied to man who is short
sighted, narrow minded, illiberal, who is
wanting in the power of construction,
who has keen eyes for little things and
no eyes at all for thirgs that are really
important and useful; who account for
social phenomena not by process of ex-
animation, classification and arrange
ment, permitting himself to believe what
he sees and to profit accordingly, but by
devising theory in the first place and
then attempting to force the facts to fit
the theory. That kind of a man is a
Democrat, and this Congress was COM
posed of that kind of men.
There was no use trying to teach them
anything, to tell them what the facts
were. to explain the conditions of the
country or to ask them to legislate ac-
cording to the public needs. Each man
of them was cocksure that he knew
more about everything than anybody
else and each man was bound to have his
own way. And so they quarreled not
only with the Republicans but among
themselves. They fought and strug-
gled in their score of factions, while all
the time their hatred of one another,
their contempt for one another's wishes
and pans increased and forced them
apart. They agreed upon just one meas
ure. and that is perfect illustration of
the character of the Democratic party
and of the only thing that that kind of
people ever can agree about. 1t was a
tariff DILL and it was scheme of univer.
sal injury. Each faction had its own pet
scheme of destruction, and where the
others were willing to let that scheme
succeed, it was willing to let the destruc-
tive schemes of the other factions sue
ceed, too.
And so comes to an end this period OF
two years of Democratic rule-the first
in thirty years, and the last, we may be
sure, for an even longer time.

yesterday by Archbishop COrrigan. The
ancient French house gets lot of Amer

Gould's daughter signs off her title to
her prospective children, for the dispen-
sltion to marry in Lent and a Catholic,
stipulates that +he children, if any, shall
be brought up in the Counts religion, 1t
is the Gould's own matter, but the fuss
and feathers notoriety attached to these
nuptials is nauseating to patriotic Amer
cans. The colony of unhappy wives
American girls married to titled foreign
ers-ls probably increased by this we'd

One of the things which Secretary Car
Isle wants changed in the tariff law is
the free-listing of diamonds. He would
have a duty of 25 per cent. imposed.
We protest. The act of the Democratic

free list should stand as evidence of the
party's concern for the workingman.

MEXlCO'S PROSPERITY.

Every American who has visited Me1i-
co during the past two years has come
back with glowing accounts of the In
creased prosperity of that country. Mexi-
co is single standard silver country for
the reason that there is scarcely any gold
in circulation there. Silver is the only
currency and the great prosperity of the
country in recent years is owing to two
causes-frst, the absence of internal dis
sensions under the wise aud able admin
istration of President Diaz, and secondly,
the unlimited use of silver as the circu-
lating medium Of the country. Mexico
is eminently silver mining country.
The labor of the people produces from
the mines the bullion, which is in turn
converted into money by the govern.
ment. Although very large amount of
the white metal is annually produced,
there seems to be no surplus as the de-
mand for it as money for domestic use
and for expectation to Asiatio countries,
fully absorbs the supply.
This is the secret of Mexico's great
prosperity. The people find employment
in mining the metal which is used for
money in the country and are not forced
to consider it commodity. As the gov
eminent and people there consider silver
good enough for them they do not care
whether the English Rothschilds consider
it good or not. England is not allowed
to dictate Mexico's financial policy,
hence the country is prosperous.

STOLE A PIC IN A POKE.

The following came to the New MExI-
CAN yesterday in its telegraphic press re-
port:
Charleston, S. c., April 12.-R5v. j. s.
Hartsel, an Episcopal clergyman, pub
fishes this statement: "On Good Friday
this year the heavenly bodies which
gravitate around the sun will be in ez-
actly the same position relatively to each
other and to the earth that they occupied
on the day Christ was crucified. 1t will
be the first time such thing has &C.
cured since that day."
A statement similar to the above has
been going the rounds of the press for
weeks - the Albuquerque Democrat
clipped 1t and printed it as original edi-
torial matter-but the Rev. Mr.. Hartsel
is not the originator of the yarn--indeed,
it looks as if he we're trying to seek lit
tie notoriety by stealing another mans
thunder, and the other man not much Of
a scientific thunderer either. The first
announcement on the above subject
came to the public in the shape of press
dispatch from Paris of date March last,
and it attracted so much attention that
the Chicago InterOcean of last Sun
day sent its reporters out among the as
tronomers to get their views. They all,
without exception, laugh at the idea set
forth In the Paris telegram and present
facts and diagrams showing the absurdity
of the claim. They agree that none of
the planets are at this time anywhere
near the position they occupied at the
date of Christ's cruciixion. The incor-
rectness of the whole story is mathemat
ically figured out and demonstrated,
among others, by Robert 7. Nelson, of
Chicago, who declares that, in order for
1t to be possible for the heavenly planets
to occupy the same position for second
time it will require "only a trif1e over
1899, $780, 59, 1856, oo,313,a91 years."
