He remained single two months, witch

Martha Robbins, an Indiana girl Their
married life was one of discord, and. NX
mouths after the second marriage Mrs.
Rhimes' temper formed the basis for q
complaint for divorce, which was granted.
Rhimes Immediately set about TO capture
his third wife, and found helpmate IN
Miss Samantha Bengal, of Detroit. Mich-
Their welded life was remarkable Tor

story of domestic iUfelicity. Rilimes next

FARMER CIRCUIT.
From the Rutland Herald.

Maj. Josiah Grout of Derby has for
some time been understood to have an
eye on the %governorship of the State of
Vermont, but it is only recently that his
boom was formally launched ia the
newspapers. If memory serves, the
launching was done by the st. Johns
bury Republican, and in the launching
article the candidacy was urged upon
the ground that the Major was "A 'repre-
sentative farmer"
SO far so good, but we notice "A de
plorable disposition in certain quarters
to treat the farmer" idea with levity if
not with contumely. That is, by sheer
and innuendO it is minated that the
Major is not a bona fide farmer, but that
he is held up as a bright and shining
Agricultural solely with the idea of de-
ceiving honest men and by false pre-
tention catching votes and favor. The
Herald can permit this sort of thing to
60 no further without making an earn
est protest. 1t happens that the Major
this week puts his gubernatoIial boom
into IA cheese hoop and rolls it to Hut-
land upon the occasion of the %dairymen's
meeting here, and the Herald fees it a
duty to see that he have fair play.
We insist that Mai. Josiah Grout Is IA
regularly ordained farmer, and challenge
all comers to prove that he is anything
else. Indeed. it will be easy to get
positive proof that he is what we say he
Is. Let the dairymen's association pro-
vide a duly qualified COW, put her on the
city hall platform, hand the Major a
milking stool and Tin pail and have "A
milk test before their eyes. Let some
body tickle the old bossy's of hind leg
with a straw and, after the Major picks
himself up and gets Strengthened out,
let notes he taken of his remarks and his
methods of tanning the animal with the
stool closely observed. That would be
practical and conclusive. Give him an
~able-bodied calf to lead and see if he
takes the string with the confident smile
belonging to ineXperience. lie will not
be caught mapping. And then get some
body to try swapping horses with him.
Mai. Grout is a farmer, and a thorough
one. lie plows and digs and delves and
harrOws and c%ultivates and hoes and
sOws and plants and mends fence. lie
only wants The opportunity TO reap. lie
is Il genuine horny handed SOL of toll.
The statements to the effect that he is d
lawyer or a manufacturer are base Sian
ders. Give him fair play.

RETIREMENT OF THE GREEN
BACKS BY STEALTH.
/ From National Rimetallist.

Senator Sherman IN his late public
I speeches has declared himself as being
opposed to the retirement of the green
backs. The National Blmetallist com
menting theron expressed the belief
that he made the declaration merely as a
matter of policy, and that he could be
safely counted on the side of the money
power all the time. His resolution
looking to the preservation of the gold
reserve and providing that when green
backs are redeemed, they shall only be
reissued for gold, fully confirms that be-
lief.
The resolution is simply an attempt to
do by stealth what he does not dare to do
openly. TO say that the greenbacks
shall only be reissued for gold is equiva-
lent to saying that they shall not be re-
issued Il: all. Under existing conditions
nobody would give gold for them.
The men who control practically the
entire mass of gold in the country are
the very ones who are vociferously de-
manding the retirement of the green
backs. The idea that these men would
exchange gold for greenbacks is absurd.
Mr.. Sherman and the whole Republican
party had better heed the sharp word of
warning that from the Chicago
Inter Ocean. In its issue of January 2
that paper says;
docs John sherman really think the
country would tamely submit to such a
radical monetary revolution? The hook
is baited with "A merited attack OF the
Democratic revenue law, but its barb is
none the less plainly visible. The Amer
lean people have had enough demOneti-
cation On the sly"
decentralization on the Sly." Is not
that pretty sharp? But it is absolutely
true nevertheless. The resolution not
only means the permanent retirement of
the greenbacks, but it means the gold
standard pure and simple. 1t Is a dis.
tinct recognition of that standard, and
in effect a declaration that it must be
maintained.
No, you don't John! A resolution of
that kind might rave been sneaked
through congress in 1873, but the peo-
pie have their eyes open now and they
are focused right on you.
