THE LONDONDERRY SITTER.

Congressman Bailey of Texas, the
chosen leader of the Democrats in the
House, added more confusion to the
dissensions. in Democratic ranks by de-
claring in the last day of the consider
alton of the tariff bill in that body that
he would not again support free wool
while wooden manufactures were taxed.
This is another of the numerous indica.
tons OF division or series of divis-
ions in the ranks of the parties oppos-
ing the Republican party, On the tar
iff question the Democrats are widely
divided, the protective element gaining
strength constantly, while the gold
Democrats are strengthening their wing
OF the party every day at the expense
of the silver element. The Populists
are also as widely and hopelessly divi,
ded, the condition of these two parties
being in marked contrast with that o.
the Republicans, who stand solidly ii
line to support President Mckinley
and the planks of the platform.

How Would Charlie Forbes do 7

At the risk of being charged with
the very grave offence of trying to
precipitate gubernator1al discussion
on this peaceful commonwealth at a
time when everybody is trying to
keep cool, this journal wishes to make
suggestion. In view of the recent
outcome of the collectorship fight in
Col. Merrill's case, next year will be
particularly favorable time for the
Younger and working element of the
Republican party to select candi'
date for governor from its ranks

He was just a common sinner,
And he'd buy tramp dinner,
And he's sort o'try toput him on his feet
An Teller might be needy,
An his raiment worn an seedy.
Yet he'd stop an visit with him in the
street.
He made no ado about
Wouldn't brag around nor shout it,
Yet he did heap to help his fellowmen;
When he'd find II fallen brother,
In some easy way or other,
He would make him organ re himself
again
He had money an he spent it,
Ere he gave away or lent it:
Seemed ez if the more he lost the more
he got,
Made all sorts o big donations
Helped support his poor relations,
An he bought an orphan school house
an lot.
Never heard O. him a-shoutin'
Ner a-settin' round a-spoutin
Bout the everlastin' wickedness O things ;
But he Just went on a tindin'
Deeds to do an never mindin'
Much about crown or hep with golden
Strings.
Yet the deacon's foll-s (its veiy
Hard to say i'd they was merry
When at last death came an caught him

Correspondence.
A Populistic Wall.

We gave Mckinley and the Repub-
lican party the largest majority in
years. The Democrats were split in
two, the prohibitionists failing to COM
plete their state ticket fell behind while
the Populists seemed to be either ahead
or behind the times, although they
made some gains-they did not expect
results. And now we are reaping the
benefits of this great boom of prosperity
in south western Vermont. From where
write | can see the grass, weeds and
small trees growing over dozen good
marble quarries once paying property.
| look at tax books and see unpaid
taxes; | see owners before the board of
officers pleading to have their taxes a.
bated, for the boom OF prosperity had
forgotten them. One little lumber
mill is running, employing three men
part of the time, where twenty-five
years, ago, in the same town, seven
steam mills Aourished, employing 300
men. Saw logs now grow on their
ruins. Thousands of acres of potatoes
were given away, fed out or sold for
from 10 to % cents bushel in the
last two years and the phosphate man
has not been paid. Twenty-Five years
ago they brought from 30 to S1.OO per
bushel, but the boom had not got here
then. The best farm in this section
was apprised at $4,000 twenty-five
years ago and was sold last spring fol
$4,000, and the buyer paid S12.0C
per ton for hay and is now selling his
milk at $1,000 per ton. Twenty five
years ago cheese brought 20 cents nov

then but we had free coinage and plen

SELECTION OF VERSE.
The Wind In the Grass.


The song of the wind IN the grassl
Come, lie on the ground and listen
When the white clouds drift and pass
And the dewdrops cease to glisten.
It comes with the perfume of flowers.
1t chases the cares that harass.
And fraught with magical powers
LIS the song of the wind in the grass.
Come, lie with your heart to the clover
Out under the orchard trees
And listen the sweet tune over
A-chime with the lay of the bees.
The tired brain a-throb and a-quiver
Wakes quiet and clear as glass.
Till cool thoughts flow like river
To the song Of the wind In the grass
A rest that is sweeter than mirth
Through the soul Is soothingly stealing,
For the touch of the dear brown earth
Hath a balm Of heavenly healing;
And under the warm blue sky,
As soft as whispered mass
Or a dreamland lullaby.
Is the song Of the wind In the grass.
