the lives that have been sacrificed: the
untold sufferings. and the valorous deeds
OF gallant men in national conflict. He
unfolded a brilliant word picture of the
famous battle of Missionary Ridge. a de-
scription which captivated his hearers,
and demonstrated the speakers matchless
ability at word painting. Space forbids
that we print the speech in full, but it
was one of the grandest efforts we have
ever heard in forensic o%ratory. BY the
mastery and decisive movements of this
awful engagement he illustrated the
forceful character of the American blood.
He bent the application to the living po-
litlcai issues; aud touched a popular
chord when he rose to lofty plane of
cloquencc and said:
The American people are slow to
wrath. But when they do rise in their
might:
.'Then woe to the robbers who gather.
In the fields where they never have sown
Who have stolen the jewels of labor
And builded to Mammon throne;
For the throne Of their god shall be crum-
bled,
And the .scepter be swept from his baud
And the heart Of the naughty be hnmbled
And a servant be chief in the land:
"For the Lord of the harvest hath said it.
Whose lips never uttered a lie,
And his prophets and poets have read it
In symbols of earth and of sky;
That to him who hath rcveled in plumber
Till the angel of conscience is dumb,
The shock of the earthquake and thunder
And tempest and torrent shall come"
1t was a mastery address, and one
long to be remembered by our citizens.

TOWN INSTRUMENTATION

There have been no new developments
upon the town representative question the
past week, but there is more earnest dis
cussion of the subject than has often been
heard. The need of sending a strong and
really representative man TO Montpelier is
universally recognized. In no previous
year has there been more at stake. 1t is
important that the town should be enabled
to issue bonds and fund its debt, as pro-
posed by the selectmen. Questions of
general application, of a financial and
economic character, will be presented for
consideration, the disposition of which
will affect the depositors in our savings
banks whose little savings are their all.
Our public institutions, especially the new
state asylum at Waterbury, and our edu-
cational interests must all receive atten-
ton. A voter who calls attention TO these
several questions expresses the general
sentiment when he says: "All of these
questions are of the highest Importance
and demand that we send a man of affairs.
experience and accustomed 10 deal with
these and kindred issues. We ought not
to select a man because he belongs to a
particular class, but rather for his acknowl-
edged ability to deal with all these cues
tions. Unless a careful choice is made, in
accordance with these principles, the 1000
perple of Brattleboro will have no more
influence in shaping the legislation of our

FUNERAL OF MIR. & MRS. TYLER

The funeral of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward A.
Tyler, held last Saturday, was a solemn
and impressive occasion to the people of
both Brattleboro and Vernon. The public
services were held at the Episcopal church
at II O'Clock, as had been previously an
nounced. George A. Boyden acted as d.
rector. -Four Freemasons, four Red Men
and four Wheel Club members, detailed for
that purpose, performed the service of bear
ers for their dead comrade and his wife.
Rev. Mr.. Collins read tie burial service.
Mary Howe LAWN showed her sympathy
with the common aflliction by lending her
voice TO the occasion. She sang the simple
and familiar hymns, Asleep in Jesus" and
Thy will be done" TO her brothers accom-
paniment upon the organ.
AT the close of these services the bodies
were taken to Vernon where, at 4 o'clock,
private services were held at Mr.. Tyler's
boyhood home-the house of his father and
mother. The caskets were placed under
the shade of trees on the lawn. MANY
friends drove down from Brattleboro, and
there was general attendance of the Yer
non people. Rev. Mr.. Collins held a short
religious service in the house, and then go
ing out and standing by the caskets deliv-
cred an address which was recognized by
all as beautiful in its spirit, touching in ex-
preston, and in every way fitted to the oc-
casion. An event like this he said, breaks
down the barriers of creeds and unites us
in a bond of common humanity. The
burial in the cemetery close by followed.
Walter Stearns sang acceptaby. The
bodies were laid in one grave which had
been dressed in white and decked with
flowers in a way to suggest as little as pos
sible the pathetic tragedy, the closing act
in which was then being performed. Many
young men, personal friends of Mr.. Tyler,
lent their aid in the performance of every
service possible for their dead comrade.
There was profusion of beautiful flow
ers. The Wheel club, the Red Men, the
Freemasons, personal friends in Brattle-
boro and elsewhere, and guests at the
Brooks House were represented in these

Conntr comml.sIoners .meet at Readlng

The recent convention at Reading, Pa,
of the County Commissioners OF every
part of the state was largely attended,
and the sessions said TO have been quite
interesting. The Philadelphia Ledger
summarizes the work of the body, from
which the following is quoted;
"To relieve counties from the payment
Of unnecessary costs in petty criminal
cases i'm which the defendant is dis
charged for want Of evidence the Com
missioners desire the passage of a law
which will place the costs of the rnfound-
ed accusation upon the prosecutor, and
that the county be relieved from the pay
ment of costs in all misdemeanors where
the jury puts the costs upon the parties
or either of them. This is a proper pun
| ishment for the instigator Of an unfound-
ed prosecution; but the innocent wit
nesses who are forced TO testify on one
side or the other of the controversy
would not be provided for under the pro-
posed legislation. The situation is not
without is difficulties, but it is possible
that the Legislature may find some way
to put an end to the petty prosecutions
that crowd the court dockets, run up
public expenses and delay the important
business OF our legal tribunals. The
abuse is relatively much greater in tha
counties whore the magistrates are un-
salaried There is not a court in the state
which has not frequently rebuked jus
/ tices of the peace for returning small
f misdemeanors which the minor judiciary
could, legally, and should settle in theil
own offices.
The Commissioners suggest that the
constitution should be amended in order
that county officials throughout the stat,
may be compensated by salaries and no
by fees. The temptation to make over
charge is irresistible with some county
, officers. When all fees go into the pub
i lie treasury this inspiration is removed
a The constitution provides that in coun
ties having a greater population thai
e 100000 inhabitants, all county officer
S shall be paid by salary. This is all arbi
