Gen. Charles E. Buzzell, of Lakeport,
n. H., Department Commander of New
Hampshire G. A. R., has something of
interest to say to the people in regard to
the emarkable curative powers of DIR.

and as a result Of overworK. became ner-
yous, weak, tired and without my old
time energy and ambition. I grew so
fearfully nervous that 1 could not rest
nor sleep nights, but would be obliged to
get up and walk about several times each
night. I would get tired and nervous SO
easily and quickly that it became almost
impossible for me to attend to my bust
ness. At the same time had most se-
we're and distressing backache
II took DIR. Greene's NervuIa blood
and nerve remedy and it helped me right
away. Ny nerves were SO strengthened
and invigorRted that the nervousness left
me, and I could again sleep soundly
nights, and wake mornings refreshed and
feeling strong and vigorous. The back
ache is completely cured. / am now per-
fectly we'll and better able than ever to
attend to my business. I have recon-
mended this wonderful remedy to several
Others and it has cured them all.

There has rarely been before the courts
of justice in this country case with
more sensational features than that of
Rose Dolley which ended yesterday in a
verdict of acquittal. If we are to accept
the testimony given at the trial girl
OF eighteen years of age accused herself
three times of a murder of which she was
not guilty to shield tine actual murderer,
who was her mother. Not only that but
twice at least she has detailed the sue
cessive steps in the perpetrati on of the
crime, the removal of the child from the
carriage. the smothering of it, the con-
oealment of its body in the woods. and
the flight from the, scene of the crime, and
has represented herself as taking each
and every one of these steps unaided and
unsuggested even. 1t now appears, how
ever, from her own testimony and. what
is far more convincing under the circum-
stances. the testimony of her mother that
it was her mother and not herself that
took every one Of these steps; that it was
her mother who conceivedithe killing of the
child and who executed it in every detail
Rose Dolley's explanation Of her assump-
ton OF the crime is that her mother con-
Vinoed her that inasmuch as it was her
sin that furnished the reason for the
crime it was her duty to assume the bur
den OF IT, When, and under what circum-
stances she changed her mind as to her
duty end resolved to tell the facts as they
actually wore, on the witness stand,
cannots be told. Perhaps it was
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-02-01

an awakening to full re-
alization of the punishment that the
crime she had confessed to involved, that
! led her to change her mind as to her
duty. Perhaps long reflection away
from the influence of her mother brought
her to take a more correct view of her
tduty. AT any rate the time came when
she did conclude to abandon her effort to
protect her mother. Her mother at the
beginning evidently intended that the
burden of the crime should be placed
upon the daughter. She labored with
her daugher to convince her that 1T was
her duty to assume it, and she sent her
away into practical hiding, thus increas-
ing the suspicion against her. But at
last she relented. and hard hearted and
pitiless as her testimony shows her to
have been, she was not hard hearted or
pitiless enough to see her daughter pun
ished for the crime which she herself COM
mitted. This much can be said in her be-
half, that at the last moment she told the
truth to save her daughter. One could wish
that the vindicatinn of Rose Dolley was
more complete. One could wish that the
circumstances of this tragedy acquitted
her more completely of all suspicion
of moral guilt, for admitting all
the facts to be just as testified to
by Rose and her mother, there is a
heavy burden still resting on the
daughter, unless we are to assume that
she was SO completely under the control
of her mother at the time of the tragedy
and Immediately subsequent as to eease
to be free agent. The slight manifesto
ton of feeling that she exhibited when
her mother returned from the woods
without the child, her GOODNESS after she
got home when, as she herself testified,
she set about helping to get supper as if
nothing unusual had happ ened, her sub
sequent statements that the child had
been sent away and the absence of any
manifestation of grief until she was ar
rested and was face to face with the PEN
atty for her supposed crime. leave pain
full impression upon the mind, which
will not entirely depart at the bidding of
sympathy. Though we may be disposed
to be ever SO charitable, this girls con-
duct Immediately following the tragedy,
was not such as those who would like to
acquit her of all responsibility and
blame in this sad tragedy would have
rejoiced to find. Still, it may be, that
the influence Of her mother was SO COM
pletely overmastering as to make her
irresponsible for what she did or what she
failed to do

CURRENT COMMENT.
THOROUGHLY SOUND.
christian Mirror. J

The plea of the Portland PRESS for
tle making of liquor drinking, at the
banquet and in private, disreputable is
surely in point; also it's statement that
liqour selling does infinitely more harm
than larceny and petty swindling, which
easily passes for "orimes. Its opinion
that more can be said in favor of the nec-
essity of employing decoy letters and
detectives for detecting and convicting
liquor sellers than in the case of almost
any other offenders seems to us thorough
1y sound

A despatch from Madri says that the
new Captain General of Cuba will give
the rebels eight days in which to surren-
der. If they do not do this he will i'm
mediately begin a war of "blood and
fire." 1t is rather too late in the nine
teenth century for a nation, claiming
to be civilized, to undertake such cam
paign as that close to the borders of a
country like the United States Public
sympathy in this country is already ru n
ming very strongly toward the Cuban
rebels This programme, if carried out,
will so accelerate it that there will be a
demand so loud that it cannot be ig-
nored for active interference to put q
stop to it.

modern standard.

An increase of nearly two millions in
the deposits of the savings banks of tn is
state during the past year is a very good
record. 1t shows that the period of de-
preston has not very seriously affected
the mass of Maine people. Another good
sign is the fact that the great preponder-
ance of the deposits comes from small de-
positors. That shows that these banks
are benefting the class of people they
are designed for. Mr.. Tim berlake, the
examiner, has considerable to say about
the taxation of these institutions, hold
ing that the rate of taxation should be
lower rather than higher. He holds too
that it should be founded upon the rate
of their earnings which seems to be the
correct prin ciple. That however, is not
our policy toward prope rty in general.
and we cannot apply different policy to
savings banks without inconsistency.
A bond of q thousand dollars bearing in
terest at per cent is taxed in many of
our cities per cent, while thousand
dollars worth of real estate earning per-
haps ten per cent Is taxed no more.
Taxes are generally assessed on capital,
and not income, though it is quite true
that assessment according to income
would be the more equitable way.
