Literary Notes,

The October number of Harper's Mag
azine will open with handsomely illus.
trated paper by Edwin Lord Weeks on
the troublous phase of life in modern
India, Indicated by its title, "HindOo
and Moslem." This article, following
DR.. Thomson's paper on "Arabia-Islam
and the Eastern Question" in the Sep
tember number, will give readers of
Harper's Magazine hOth the historical
and present aspects of an important
racial and religious problem.
Among other attractive features, Har-
per's Bazaar issued on September 2lst
will present some very beautiful gowns
from the MaisOn Worth drawn by Sandoz.
These are appropriate for the transition
season between summer and autumn.
An article entitled Life in Puget
Sound" by Mrs. Candace Wheeler will
be of unusual interest and among the
lighter sketches will be dialogue, by
Frances B. Poine, in which the humors
of Summer Whist will be amusingly
outlined.

An ex-ConGederate supposed to have
been killed in battle, and was mourned
as dead, turned up last week. His fami-
ly has been drawing pension from the
State of Georgia by reason of the sup
posed death. The old man now tells of
the advantage he took of the excitement
and smoke OF battle, to desert and make
for the mountains, where he had since
remained. The pension has vanished
and he is now repudiated by his family,
who apparently believe that a dead hero
and pension are better than an aged
coward.

Won the First Medal.

At the Vermont State fair held this
fall, there was shown very greatly in
creased interest in dairy machinery and
dairy products, and quite large display
of those goods were made.
All the cream separators manufactured
in America were put in competition
there, and it gives us pleasure to state
that the Sharples Russian machines, ad-
vertised in our paper. were the victOrs.
The Sharples people received the high
est premium for the performance of their
machines.
The Vermont State fair is one of the
most carefully managed in this part of
the country, and awards made by its
committees are always received with a
great deal of confidence and respect by
the public.

Democracy has slaughtered about s.
100000 sheep already, more than one
sixth of the entire number III the cOun-
try during 1892. when the flocks were
protected. The sheep of Ohio are being
slaughtered at the rate of more than 800,
600 per year, or about 800 day. This
is due to the fact that the shrlnkage in
their value, and in the value of their
wool-growing have become improbable.
1t means the loss of millions of dollars
to the farmers of the State, without
any compensating benefit whatever.
Sheep raising is an important
industry in Ohio and the enthusi-
asm and overwhelming numbers with
which the farmers of that State greeted
Mckinley, Sherman, Bushnell and Fora
ker, OhiO's prominent pro rotectiOnists, at
the first grand rally of the season. Tues
day, at Springfield, shows the depth of
their feelings against the iniquitious pol
icy of the Democratic party of running
this important and profitable industry
and placing the profits in foreign hands,
and the country at the mercy of foreign
growers. The whole of Ohio has suffer
ed intensely from Democratic incom-
potency, negligence and sectionalism.
In their never ceasing toll against cold
and hunger, the Ohio farmers and work
ingmen have found time to observe the
causes of their distress. The wild ap-
plause that, from nearly $1,000 throats,
greeted every mention of Mckinley S
name and of the system with which he
is so closely associated, is assurance that
the system that has crushed the wool
growing industry of the farmer anG
placed him in direct competition with
the Canadian farmer in supplying pro-
duce to the home markets, and that has
closed the factories to the American
workingmen by flooding the markets
with pauper, foreign made goods, will
receive a reputation in Ohio that will
shake Democracy to its foundations.

The increasing protectlonist sentiment
in England, particularly among the la.
boring classes, is evidence that our in.
dustrial conditions are closely studied
abroad. The prostration of American
industries, the moment they were threat.

mediately following period Of unprec-

care of protective tariff, is an object
lesson of extreme simplicity.

There is a rumOr to the effect that the
saloon keepers and hotel men of the
cities and larger towns of the State are
raising a fund for testing the prohibit
tory law, and that the combination has
gone so far as to engage their attorneys,
NJ. H. Alexander of Burlington, Judge
F. c. Butler and L. w. Malony of Rut-
land. 1t is stated that a test case will be
made and large amount of money sunk
if necessary. The test case will be car
ried to the highest court, the United
States Supreme Court, if the battle
goes adversely in the lower courts. As
the cOnstitutionality of the prohibitOry
laws of the State have been upheld sew
eral times by the federal Supreme Court,
there is good reason for believing that
this rumor will never amount to more
than rumor. Why the liquor dealers
of the larger places in the State should
desire such move is mystery. I'm
der the present system they are rarely
molested to any serious extent. Every
thing is apparently smooth in the liquor
business in these places. What more do
the dealers want? 1t is true that one
prominent hotel proprietor has just
served sixty days sentence and paid a
heavy fine. This is scarcely any founda-
tion for alarm. The conviction was
more accidental than otherwise. Such
convictions are rare despite the fact that
hundreds are daily engaged in the busi
ness The total amount of liquor fires
annually paid to the State, are compara-
lively insignificant. 1t would sfep that
the result of such a colff barked
out by the rumor w6 detri-
mental to the interest deal.

JUDGE VEAZEY'S HEALTH.
President Not Likely to Supersede
Him When His Term Expires.

President Not Likely to Supersede
Him When His Term Expires.
Favorable reports are being received
by members of the interstate commerce
commission regarding the condition of
Judge Veazey, and it is expected that
he will be back at his desk within a
month, sooner, perhaps. His indisposi-
ton dates back, in a measure, to the
hard work which he did on the ccmmis-
ion during the summer of 1893.
Some of his friends have been little
apprehensive that the exaggerated re-
ports in circulation regarding his serious
illness mlghj prevent his re-aopoint-
ment, when his term expires, in January,
and some of his family have shared this
apprehension. Judge VeaZey is regard
ed by his associates on the commission
as one of the most useful men who have
served there.
Candidates for his place are reported
already in the field, but there is appar-
emily some misapprehension as to their
position. The President is practically
shut up to the choice of a Republican
from New England, and he is not likely
to substitute new man for Judge Yea
zey. The law requires not more than
three members of the commission shall
be of one political party, and three are
already Democrats. Their present dis
tribution, moreover is one in Iowa, one
in Illinois, one in Georgia, one in New
York and one in New England
1t is not believed that the President
would deprive New England of represen-
tation, in view of the vast railroad inter
ests which are centred there, especially
as he must choose Republican, if lie
does not re.appOInt Judge Veazey.

from a test of their Constitutionality,
could not fail to arouse much public in
dignatiOn among the law abiding cili-
zens at the fragrant neglect of the off
cials in performing their duties They
are sworn to enforce the laws. With an
utter disregard of the sacredness of their
oaths, they allow the constant violation
of these laws under their own eyes, with
ont the least effort or intention to en-
force them. The situationiis exceedingly
d dsgraceful to the State. 1t these neg
lects of duty and violations of oaths
were fOrcibly presented to the people in
their true light, public interest would
be created that might possibly demand a
more rigid enforcement of all laws, to
the damage of the liquor dealers.
The popularity of these laws should
have no bearing upon the question of
their enforcement: the law is law and
should be enforced The custom in
vogue in the State of allowing the Off
GERS to decide upon the laws that shall
be observed and those that shall not,
smacks too much of Tammauyism and
allows too great opportunities for black
mail. extortion, perjury,-corruption.
The laws should be enforced. 1t is in
repeal, rather than in nOn-observance,
that relief should be obtained from any
oppressive or unpopular law. In en-
forcement alone lies the means of secur-
ing the repeal of these laws, if the ma
iorty desires repeal.

A NEW YORK police judge not
only discharged a man caught i'll
the act of of stealing, but told him
to take the stolen article to his
home and use it. The article
stolen was a can of milk. The
person for whom it was stolen was
a starving little child. The stealer
was the little ones father-an in
dustrious man, out Of work, out OF
money, out of food, and destitute
of anything that he could pawn or
sell 10 raise money. He had tried
to borrow, but his friends were al
most as poor as himself. The law
forbade him to beg or steal. But
paternal affection, a law higher
than the statutes of the common
wealth. commanded him not to let
his child starve to death. This was
the case presented to the Court,
and the decision was commended,
although in direct contravention OF
the letter of the law.

MIXED AND AMUSING.

Some Incidents Of Lafayette's Tour
Through the United states In 1874,
William NJ. Polk says, in his life Of Bishop
Polk, that when Lafayette in 1924 made his
memorable tour through the United States
many amusing incidents accompanied his
passage through North Carolina. General
Polk, the governor and n cavalry escort.
under command Of General Daniel, met the
distinguished guest near the Virginia line.
There was much hand shaking and speech
making Lafayette spoke but little Eng.
lish and understood less. lie had retained
y few phrases, such as "Thanksp MY dear
friend, /" Great country Happy manw
"Ah, rememberr' And though he usual.

they were sometimes ludicrously malapro

At Halifax the cortege was met by Gen.

soldiers instead of shouting, welcome,

"If half the citizens of New York only
knew such a simple thing as how to roll up
an umbrella, would probably have to close
up my repairing department" said an up
town umbrella dealer. Most of the UNI
brellas brought here to be mended," he
went on, would never have needed repairs
if they had been kept properly rolled.
1.-The right way to roll your umbrella is
to take hold of the ends of the ribs and the
stick with the same hand and hold them
tightly enough to prevent their being twist
ed while the covering is being twirled
around with the other hand. Then your
umbrella will be as nicely closed as when
you bought it, and the only wear and tear
will be on the cloth.
at is twisting the ribs out of shape
around the stick aud fastening them there
that spoils most of the umbrellas that are
brought to me to be fixed up. Never hold
the umbrella by the handle alone when you
roll it up, and you will find it will last long
err and cost less for repairs. New York
