A PLEA FOR ECONOMY.
In concluding this communication, Its
last words shall be an appeal to the con-
gress for the most rigid economy In the
expenditure Of the money It holds In trust
for the people. The way to perplexipg
extravaganza is easy, but a return to fru-
gality is difficult When. however, II is
considered that those who bear the bur
dens Of taxation have no guaranty of hon
est care, save In the fidelity of their pub
lie servants. the duty of all possible re-
trenchment Is plainly manifest. When
our differences are forgotten and our con-
tests OF political opinion are no longer
remembered, nothing in the restrospect OF
our public service will Re as fortunate aud
comforting as the recollection OF Official
duty well performed and the memory OF
constant devotion TO the interests Of our
coniding fellow countrymen.

TRUSTS.

Our business interests and all good cit
liens long for rest from feverish agitation
and the Inauguration by the government
of a reformed financial policy which will
encourage enterprise and make certain
the rewards of labor and industry.
Another topic in which our people right
fully take a deep interest may be here
briefly considered. refer to the existence
Of trusts and other huge aggregations of
capital, the object of which Is to secure
the monopoly of some particular branch
Of trade, industry. or commerce, and to
stifie wholesome competition. When these
are defended 1t Is usually on the ground
that though they increase profits they also
reduce prices, and thus may beneft the
public. 1t must be remembered, however,
that a reduction Of prices to the people Is
not one of the real objects of these organ
izations, nor Is their tendency necessari-
ly in that direction. If 1t occurs in q par
ticular case, Il is only because II accords
with the purposes of interests of these
managing the scheme.
Such occasional results fall far short OF
compensating the palpable evils charged
10 the accounts OF trusts and monopolles.
Their tendency is to crush out individual
independence and 10 hinder or prevent the
free use OF human faculties and the full
development OF human character. Through

VERY Low.
Ex Governor Robinson Sinking Very
Rapidly.


Chicopee, Mass, February 2O, 1880 p.
m.-There was slight failure since
morning in the condition of Ex-Governor
Robinson. DR.. Prindle, his physician,
says that If he was able to hold bis own
for the next forty eight hours there was
slight chance Of recovery, but he is
liable to die at any time. But If he
should get ovei the effects OF this
apopleotic stroke, he will never be the
same man as he was before it happened.
The ex-governor is partially conscious
and at times answers in monosyllables to
questions from his family. At other
times he pays no attention to what ie
taking place about him. One side Of his
head seems to be paralyzed from the
hsmorrhage that caused the stroke. All
his family are at present at his siuk bed.
Mrs. Robinson, his mother who is about
90 years old, his daughter Mrs. H. W.
Wright, his son Waiter S. and his wife
Mrs. George D. Robinson. The family
al entirely prostrated and have about
given up all hope OF his recovery. Fellow
members of the Hampden county bar and
all this com unity are deeply 9rieyed at
the seriousness Of his illness.
(Gov. Gov. Robinson Is reported at 8
O'Clock this monring as sinking rapidly. }

in this city extending over IA years Mr..

/. Mr.. Hill has been forced to this by q
succession of bad business that has given
the Standard theatre the name of the
"hoodoo house, among the profession.
Play after play has failed, but Mr.. Hill
battled brayely to the end until his pa
thence was exhausted and his hnancel
impaired.
ILL LUCK CONTINUED.
At the beginning OF the season 1t wat
continue unless he struck something
good, and his many friends hoped tina,
such would be the case. When he pro
duced Augustus Thomas's "The Capi
tol,'' everybody wished him luck, bul
it came not.
The play was a failure, but Mr.. Hill
tried to boom it into popularity, with
the result that he dropped considerable
money. Then came the one-week run o.

The final blow to Mr.. Hill's hopes wal

THAT BOULDER ON THE TRACK.
There Was Board Also-No Trace of the
Perpetrator-How the Storm of Wednes
Night Was Handled.

In regard to the boulder that was
placed on the track Of the Cape electrics
Tuesday night at Willard, Superintend-
ent MoCleod said yesterday that it was
piece Of ledge about two feet long and
as big as man could conveniently lift
The motoneer would not have discovered
it, II he hadn't It run over a board placed
on the track short distance from the
boulder. This caused him to stop the car
just in time to avoid the boulder. The
board was undoubtedly placed on the
track by the same parties who placed tho
boulder there. Had the car struck the
rock it would have probably been de-
rallied. In any event it would have been
much damaged.
OF course the rock might have been
accidentally dropped from team and have
been left unnotioed, but 1t cannot be
ascertain ed that any team was hauling
rocks there. This is not tho first time
that distractions have been placed on
the track. Last fall on Broadway quits
q large pile Of rocks was heaped on the
track
Whether these things have been done
by boys for mischief and without
| thought of the seriousness of the offense,
or whether by some one else with ma
licious purpose isn't known.
1t hardly seems that any boy could be
SO foolish as to do such thing AZ boy
ish prank.
The storm Of Wednesday night kept
the railroad people at work all night long
cleaning the track. Supt. MoCloua was
up all night directing his men. Portions
of the road are very much exposed to the
wind. There were drifts that allowed a
depth of five feet in some places. A
good deal Of shoveling had to be done,
but they kept the track clear and started
on time yesterday morning. Also
Wednesday night at about 1880. during
the height OF the storm, they had about
300 paople to carry home from dance at
Willard. to Pleasantdnle and Portland.

A Vessel in Trouble.

New Haven, Conn, February 20.-The
schooner Lygonia left Elizabethport on
the 18th for Providence with water pipe.
Last night while off Stanford she ran
into a stiff snow squal and was badly
used up. She lost her foresail and shifted
her cargo, broke her pumps and suffered
other damage. Late last night she an
chored inside the breakwater, and early
this morning rode heavily, dragged her
anchor and went adrift. She was picked
up by the tug Rambler and towed to
Canal dock. She will probably have to
discharge her cargo and repair here.

was addressing was sufficient argu-

REV. G. G. PHELAN
OF Westkrook, who spoke impressivsly
and ear nsstly of the necessity for loyalty
to the church. The building Of three

would say that perhaps the greatest dis
ooyery of the Methodist church has been
how to utilize the Efforts of our young
people. One person in every IL in this
republic is Methodist. He spoke of the
special organization of the Methodist
church and predicted that to the end of
time the Methodist church will og on
conquoring the world for Christ.
REV. 3. q. ROGERS
of the Pine street church spoke of the
"Women OF the Methodist Church." 1t
Is sometimes said, "That is advocated
