insultngly tainted with being incapable of
understanding the money question at all.
Their money is for the few only, instead of
for the many.
A great deal OF this superstition of selfish
conceit is to be dssipated with rude energy
in the future now close at hand. The people
are at least intelligent enough to know their
need and how it is to be Justly obtained At
length they are resolved to obtain it for them
selves The stand made by the senate is the
planting of the coors to rally to for the final
conflict. With the politicians merely it is in
the main a question of personal advancement;
with the people it is question of life and
death. No similar issue was ever imported
into the politics of free and intelligent peo-
pie before. 1t involves questions of social ex-
istence of common industry, of family ntegri-
ty, of the life of the state, and the perpetuity
of the nation.
That there exists in complete armor a power
outside of the people that is bent on their
domination in order to serve its own selfish
ends, can no longer be successfully disputed.
1t is hardhood to further deny it. The
power whose acknowledged enterprise and
energy makes it the potent agency of civilized
life when employed rightly, is capable, in
sordid hands, of becoming the vampire that
sucks out the life-gving blood of nations 1t
is this power, arrayed against the welfare Of
our people, that the senate resoutely chal-
lenges in the patriotic stand it has taken.

Middlebury, about three miles south OF the
village, Feb %. He had long been sufferer
from disease tor which there was no reIief
or cure He went to the Boothby hospit j in
Boston in the tall, and was there treated, but
while perhaps his lite was heightened, lite
thereafter held nothing but suffering tor him,
sutferings OF an acute and intense nature.
But while his mind was clear he bore them
with patience ana unninching fortitude. AT
times powerful opiates were given, which
afforded him his only rest. At the last, pain
seemed to leave the over-taskcd DO ", and
the end WAS peace. The funeral exercises
were held the following Monday, Rev. Robert
j. Barton OF Salisbury reading PASSAGES from
the Bible of the deceased which he had read
and marked, passages which seemed to have
given him great comfort. He said these
seemed fitting mt this time: they had brought
peace to him ana they were tut OF comfort
ana hope Tor those who mourned. Rev. u. W.

OBITUARY..
MRS. a. e. BuRwELL.

Mrs. Amanda T.. Burwell. widow of the late
Henry T.. Burwell, died at her home in Bird
port, February 20, 1896.
Mrs Burwell was n native of New York,
having been born Mt Moriah, June I, 1888
After her marriage to Mr.. Burwell she made
her residence in Bridport, where most OF the
remainder OF her lite was spent. AT the age
OF fifteen she united with the Methodist Epis
copal church, and ever proved faithful anu
devoted member. Though The loss OF her
husband and son proved severe aitiictlon 10
tins devoted wife and mother, yet even In
physical weakness her strong taltn was
shown in her submission to the Divine VIII.
Her last years were filed with intense suffer-
ing, none but her nearest friends knowing
how much pain was borne beneath her cheer
tul exterior. In her last illness, knowing
that all hope OF rec OVery was past, she maze
all arrangements tor her funeral, choosing
for the text, 81 shall be satisfied when |
awake with Thy likeness" surely, none IN
the Bible were more fitting. Mrs. Burwell
was kind neighbor and loving mother
She leaves n sen, George II. Burwell OF Ben

denced by he large company OF TRENDS VINO
gathered ut the funeral showed the high es
teen In which the deceased was held. Inc
services were conducted by Rev. Charles L.
Leonard OF Ripton, her former pastor "She
rests from her labOrs and her works do TO low
her"
Dearest mother, God has called thee
From thy friends and children here
To IA home whose ceaseless pleasure
l. ne'er married by grief or fear.
Link by link the chain is severed
Which our hearts fast bound in love-
Father, mother, brother tab en-
To the rest reserved above.
Yes, another link is severed,
Ana we children, left alone,
wait the Saviour's gentle summons
And the rest OF "home, sweet home" c.

GOD AND WEALTH.

The more questionable the means by which vast sums of money are ac- cumulated, the more eager are the money kings to ascribe to divine in fluence their wonderful opportunities for the accumulation. The following from the Chicago Chronicle is in the nature of defense of Providence:
 "John D. Rockefeller modestly an nounces that Divine Providence Is keeping a special watch over him and his monetary affairs.
 "'The good Lord gave me my money said he at the Chicago uni versity exercises, and how could I withhold it from Chicago?'
 "The utterance was characteristic.
 Some sincere Christians do, of course, believe that the Almighty di- rects their most trifing affairs They rely upon Providence with a faith that Is as firm as 1t is admirable.
 "But for hide-bound monopolist, a wrecker of other mems business, an oppressor and a commercial pirate to profess such belief is as blasphemous as it is disgusting.
 "The man may deceive himself He may really believe that his iniquitous methods of money getting are sanc- tioned by Infnity, or he may believe that he has made his peace with the Almighty by bestowing a tithe of his ill-gotten gains upon institutions o1 learning. tt&
 "But if he deceives himself he de ceives no one else. The story of Johr D. Rockefellers rise to wealth is tot well known to be glazed over b, eleventh-hour benefactions.
 ""The good Lord gave me m! money! Let the ruined refn CTS; the impoverished proudcers the corrupted legislatures of tn oil belt stand as an answe to the blasphemy."

Last "Wednesday fifteen

Last Wednesday fifteen American business men left New York on the steamer St. Paul to spend the next three months in South America study ing the condition which affects our trade with the republics of that con- tinent. They go out under the aus pices of the National Association of Manufacturers, and the idea of send ing the expedition originated at the time of the Pan-American congress. It was significant of our lack of proper facilities for trade with South Ameri- ca, that these representatives of some of our largest mercantile and manu- facturing concerns had to go to South America by way of Liverpool. If we cannot establish direct communica- tion we are not likely to establish much direct trade.

A new trade combination has been formed and adds another name to the already, long list of trusts. Birthstone is the commodity which has been cor
 nered and the combination claims to De in absolute control of the brim- stone markets of the world. Already the price has gone up in the United States from s14.50 to S1S.5O per ton. Birthstone forms a part of a hundred or more necessities of life and the ad- vance in price will be a heavy tax on the oVerburdened consumer. The new trust will not go into effect until August 1, but it's members have com pleted arrangements for absolute dom Ination of the market after that date.

A TAX ON WEALTH.

Surrogate Fitzgerald, of New York. has decided that the inheritance tax cannot be imposed upon six million dollars left by William B. Astor in trust for his grandson, John Jacob Astor. The surrogate held that the property having passed to young As tor before the inheritance law went into effect it cannot be taxed. Thus does a member of one of the richest families in the country escape the pay ment of a small proportion of his wealth into the public exchequer.
 The income tax law was declared to be unconstitutional by the highest tri- bunal in the land, and in consequence the men who own almost all the wealth of the Nation evade paying anything towards the support of the government.
 The government expenses are enor-

The country will regret to learn of the illness of General Fitzhugh Lee at Havana He was very venturesome in going to Havana at this time of the year, but the fact is a tribute to his high sense of duty. The worst thing about it all is that while such a man as General Lee falls victim, possibly to the climate, Weyler is enjoying his usual good health.

nous and nearly all of 1t is derived from the poorest people in the country. The hard-working farmer and the toil- CT in the mine, factory and workshop furnish the money to keep the govern mental machinery in running order. The bondholder and money-lender produce nothing. They do not add a cent to the public wealth. Their in- vested capital earns their incomes for them, and the money to pay the divi- dends is coined out of other mems labor The farming and laboring classes, numbering millions, have the support of the moneyed class, num- bering a few thousands, on it's shoul- ders. The load is growing heavier every day and will continue getting more burdensome unless radical change is made in the policy of the Ma tional government. The change is coming, as the distressed masses are clamoring for relief from the present industrial slavery which has resulted from the dominance of the plutocracy in governmental affairs.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

A wide difference of opinion exists between two English statesmen con- cerning England's future in the mat ter of peace and war Gladstone, now a very old man, and never jingoist, abhors the very mention of war and does not believe in the necessity of ar maments while Sir Charles Dilke, who belongs to younger generation of English public men, declares that England is on the verge of a war with Germany, Russia and France con- bined.
 Gladstone, who remembers the days of the coalition against Napoleon and the part borne in them by England, refuses to believe that the old war days are to come again, while Sir Charles Dilke, who has never seen England involved in a serious conflict, WNIh Iu0 CACCpIlOu Ol Cuo OIlm0du war, seems to regard Europe and Great Britain in blaze as a pleasant possibility.
 Of the two prophets MT. Gladstone will have the more believers on this side of the water. Americans consider him the prophet of the wider vision and more reasonable prediction. An alliance between Germany, Russia and France seems impossible. While a union of two of the three powers, as Russia and France, can be conceived of, no possible circumstance can be imagined which could lead to union of the three. Two despotic monarch ies and republic combining against liberal and constitutional monarchy would indeed form a spectacle. Il is impossible to find a reason either for the alliance or the war.
 It may be safely concluded that 1T the future the strong powers of tht world will wage their wars on weaker nations rather than engage in yer, | doubtful conflicts with each other.

NONE BUT <; AYERS AT THE - WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- raordnary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an e1- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsapariNas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Tucson Citizen: A crowd of excited Democrats were gathered at the bull letin board eagerly scanning every line as it appeared. Confidently expecting, because they were sincerely hoping, the nomination of Bland, their en- thusiasm was pent up and an explosion was momentarily expected. A tele- gram came-only a line. It said: Bland nominated" The crowd was paralyzed for an instant, although the expected had transpired Then every Democrat turned in his tracks, faced his brother, craned his neck, looked in- to each others eye, and emitted yell after yeM into each others faces, and the echoes of those ear-splitting bursts Of pent up applause are even yet chasing each other up the dark can- yons Of the Santa Catahnas A mo- ment later, while yet the din and up- roar Of victory was at it's highest, the bulletin man stuck his head out and announced: Bryan is nominated"
 What! The - you say" Again each loyal Democrat looked into his brothers eyes, but no more could they see the joyful Bland sparkle. En- thusiasm had vanished. As each for lorn brother turned his back and walked away a muff1ed murmur arose which sounded very much like the ex- pression used by the disappointed Dutchman when the other fellow said Keno"

bug must not forget that he gave the silverbug the pointer when some six months ago he was fixing up the Ma tional committee to have things his own way, and when he thought he had the pins set so as to run things he had no hesitation in boasting that he in tended to run all over the silverbugs and literally do them up. This made the silverbugs hustle and to the dis may of the goldbugs they got there with both feet, and they are fhsre now and they are going to stay, and the sat- isfactory feature of the business is the great west and south are behind the sflverbugs, and if they are now run ming over the goldbugs, let the gold bugs remember they are responsible, for they started the game and the sil- verbugs took them up and beat them at their own game.
 Tucson Star: The Chicago declara- tion of political principles is the most Democratic of any document which has been promulgated for many years. It is Democratic from opening to close and it is SO plain that all the plain people can read and understand just what it means and stands for. The | platform is great document, it is American, it is patriotic, it is Demo- cratic, it is strong, it is safe, it is sound, and it is magnificent political code of which the Democracy of our great, good and grand republic can justly be proud. It is the platform upon which the next president of the l United States will stand

There Is no scarcity of preparations for the hair, but unquestionably the one which ranks highest in point of merit is Ayers Hair Vigor. It is made from the choicest materials and on strictly scientific principles. It does not soil nor become rancid by exposure to the air, 9nd is as perfect a substi- tute for the oil supplied by nature, in youth and health, as modern chem istry can produce. It softens and stim- ulates the hair and scalp, revives and strengthens weak and disordered tis- sues, restores the original color to faded and gray hair, prevents the for nation of dandruff, cures humors which destroy the hair-roots, renders the skin healthy, moist, and active, and the hair soft, silky, lustrous, and abundant. Gray hair, one of the most noticeable indications of age, may be postponed for many years by the daily and faithful use of this admirable prep aration. Give it trial. Gentlemen as well as ladies prefer Ayers Hair Vigor to any other dressing and consid- CT their toilet incomplete without it.
