TEMPLE QUARTET.
Mr.. Lanes Second Concert at In
fantry Hall.

idutIy ndil.
The reputation OF the singers announced
TO appear at Mr.. Willism..R II. Lanes second
concert last night was more than suffi-
cient to countersct the tendency to stay
in the house. during driving snow storm
and 80 large audience assembled at In
fantry Hall. They were thoroughly com
pcnsated, however, by the excellence of
the program OF songs which they were
fortunate enough to hear. The singers
were Messrs. Il. VI. Spears, first tenor; Il.
+. Webber, second tenor; Robert Bruce,
baritone, and l.. b. Merrill, base, OF the
Temple Quartet of Boston; Miss Viola
Campbell, soprano of Boston; Master
James Mscgregor Barlow, mezzo soprano;
Mr.. Walter j. Towne, tenor; Mr.. william
X. Lane, baritone; Mr.. Albert 3. Metcalf,
organist and sccompenist.
1t was splendid aggregation OF vo-
calists and il there was any fault to be
found with the concert 1t was in the Sc
lections> certainly not in the singing.
There is no better concert quartet than
the "Temple" aad the delight OF listen
ing to them Is so genuine that when one
out of the five numbers is such "trick
affair" as "Humpty Dumpty" 1t is rather
disappointing. The other four numbers
OF the progan, however, which were as
signed to the quartet, were all good and
the appreciation of the audience resulted
in encores.
James Macgregor Barlow, the mezzo-so-
prano. won the hearts of his listeners and
when the sweet-voiced boy finished "Tne
Holy City" there was a momentary, hush
followed by hand clapping thst would
not be hushed except by another song.
Miss Viola Campbell sang two solos,
Forbidden Music,' and "Good- Bye, !"
and she also sang with Mr.. Lane and Mr..
Towne in the fiSal selection, "Te Sol
questt anima." She has a beautiful So
prsno voice, sweet and clear, and shared
the honors OF the concert with the gentle
men.
The local singers were Mr.. Walter j.
Towne and Mr.. William X. Lane, than
whom there are no better known and
more thoroughly appreciated vocslists in
Providence musical circles. The accom-
panist of the evening was Mr.. Albert s.
Metcslf and he also gave a Preliminary or
gan recital.

THE VENEZUELA CONTROVERSY

In commenting upon the arrange
ment made by Secretary Olney and
Lord Salisbury for the arbitration of
the Venezuelan difficulty, the London
Times says:
''This is a most far-reaching con-
cession and signal diplomatic sue
cess for the United States, and is in
teresting to the Americans much
more keenly than any mere arrange
ment of Venezuelan territory. 1t Sc
cures to England the advantage of
dealing with responsible and friend
" power, and admits the principle
that the United States may not only
intervene in disputes with South
American republics, but may entirely
supersede the original disputant and
assume exclusive control Of the ne
gotiations. Great Britain cannot bind
another nation by this concession, but
she sets up precedent which may in
future be quoted with great effect
against herself, and she has greatly
strengthened the hands of the United
States government should the latter
desire to intervene in any future dis
pute between South American re-
public and any European power. 1t
need scarcely be said that the right of
interference involves responsibility
The admissions of this great English
newspaper indicate that the United
States has won diplomatic victory.
We asked for arbitration. Lord Sails
bury denied it. We insisted and have
obtained it. The principles of the
Monroe doctrine are successfully re-
asserted by this government and
binding force by agreeing to submit
to arbitration the Venezuela dispute.

SPAIN SEES 4 CRISIS,

The avidity with which the new
Spanish loan is being snapped up is
said to be an evidence that patriotism
is at white heat in the land of the hi
dalgos. This may or may not be true,
but the fact remains that the govern
raent is finding no difficulty is raising
money for war purposes.
1t is realized that the last hope for
Spain's retention of Cuba lies in the
success of the campaign which has
just been inaugurated by Captain
General Weyler. The Spaniards know
that the presence of Mckinley in the
presidential chair means a quite diff
ferent policy from the present in this
country. 1t is the subjugation of Gu
ba now or never.
Meanwhile Weyler is in the hills Of
Cuba and Maceo is in retreat. This
may mean that Maceo is afraid of
open conflict or it may mean that
Weyler is being drawn into a trap.
Subsequent events will prove and will
be awaited with the most intense in
terest by every lover of freedom.

because of the influence of corpora
tion lawyers, and that the effect is
to practically exclude the mass of the
people from the benefit of the tribu
nal. It is not practicable for the
average litigant to take his case up
on appeal because of the extra cost
of doing business at Montpelier. The
proposition is to either go back to
the old system and have the supreme
court sit in every county, or to have
it sit in four or five central places to
accommodate the whole Satae. Thus
a term at Rutland would serve Rut-
land, Addison and Bennington coun-
ties, and soon.

BETTER TIMES.

Already there are signs of brighter
times. Hundreds of factories and in
dustrial works have started in differ
ent sections of the country, and the
the thousands of idle men are set at
work. 1t was recently stated by Hen
ry Clewes that the advance in proper
ties represented by stocks had adj
yanced 1OO,000,000 since election.
Away out in the silver section bust
ness is starting up and there is safer
and a better feeling all around. Wheat
as one of the greatest staples, had adj
vanced so that it is selling at rates
which make a profit to the farmer,
while other farm products are on the
rise Wool has felt the impetus and
every thing is tending upward Last
Of all to feel the depression was the
farmer, and he will be the last to feel
the boom. But 1T is something of a
pleasure to feel that the decline has
been stopped and the tendency is up
ward. When the laboring men who
have been going hungry and econom-
ically clad get wages enough and
work enough to have something to
spare, the producer will find more of
an outlet at reasonable rates for his
products. 1t makes a great deal of
difference to the Vermont farmer
whether the New England manufac
tories are running or not. When the
mill in his village or in any manufac-
turing city shuts down and the fac
tory hand stop work he then stops,
SO far as possible, buying, and those
who sold him lose his trade. Tt does
not take but little to SO overstock
markets as to ruin prices, nor is
largely increased demand necessary
to very materially benefit a market.
Hold your grip, farmers, another year
will bring better times. We hope and
expect that in the new adjustment of
the tariff, the American farmers will
be protected from the Canadian i'm
ports which have hurt them seriously
during the few years past. This will
help Vermont farming.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

By the President of theIUnited
States:
The people of the United States
should never be unmindful Of the
gratitude they owe the God of
nations for His watchful care, which
has shielded them from dire disaster
and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness
to turn away from Gods teachings
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be auickened, it is fitting that on a
day especially appointed, we should
join together in approaching the
throne of grace with praise and sup
plication.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
President Of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 26th day of the present
month of November. to be kept and
observed as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer throughout our land.
On that day let all the people fore
go their usual work and occupation
and assemble in their accustomed
places of worship, let them with one
accord render thanks to the Ruler of
the universe for our preservation as
a nation and our deliverence from
every threatened danger, for the
peace that hath dwelt within our
boundaries; for our defense against
disease and pestilence during the
year that has passed; for the plente-
eous rewards that have followed the
labors of our husbandmen, and for all
the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to us.
And.let us, through the mediation of
Him who has taught us to pray, i'm
plore the forgiveness of our sins and
a continuation of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy and
by deeds of charity let our offerings
of praise be made more acceptable in
the sight of the Lord.
With my hand and seal of the Uni
ted States, which I have caused to be
hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 4th day of November, in the year

dence of the United States of Ameri-
ca, the 121st.

REVENUE.

That is what we need, and until we
have it the government of the United
States cannot pay its bills. The Will
son law, from the time it went into
operation, never has yielded enough
revenue to keep the governments in
come level with it's expenditures. SO
long as we are dependent upon this
tariff law for money with which to
meet our national expenses, we shall
be faced at the close Of every month
with an enormous Treasury deficien-
cy.
1t was the ceaseless Treasury def
cheney that drained the gold reserve
repeatedly. 1t was this same de6cien-
cy that compelled the bond issues
which, principal and : interest, will
cost the American people 500, 00o,0 900
to discharge. And this same deficien
cy has again reached such vast pro-
portions that Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration will be forced to deplete the
reserve again if it desires to honor
the bills that are presented to the
treasury department. Tor payment.
Until Republican President sits in
the White House and Congress, Re-
publican in both branches, frames
and passes tariff measure suitable
to the needs of this country, we shall
continue to be a poor debtor nation
unless special legislation gives us
emergency revenues for the require
ments of the hour. Legislation of
this kind is essential to the welfare Of
our nation. In such a stress there
can be no question of party, no
thought of personal interest. We
must be able to pay our bills. We
must insist upon maintaining our ma
tional credit. We must pass an emer
gency bill to provide what we most
need, revenue.-N. Y. Press.
