The British trader is certainly be-
coming cute Taught by experience,
he has hit upon plan to prevent a
possible loss which stares him in the
face. The experience came in this
wise. The sudden death of the Duke
of Clarence occurred very shortly be-
fore his intended wedding. An i'm
mense stock of light goods and orna-
ments had been prepared by the man.
ufacturers and laid in by the shop
keepers AS the whole nation went in
to mourning this stock proved almost
dead loss. Now again great prepara-
tons have been made by the wholesale
and retail houses for immense stocks
of goods for the Diamond Jubilee Gel
ebration. But the Queens health is
precarious and it is possible that she
might die before the event. The trad
er has determined to run no more risks
and very heavy assurances have been
effected upon her majesty's life. The
rate is five per cent, according to the
London Sketch" 1t seems rather
gruesOme, but it is sound business all
the same. Should the Queen die the
underwriters will suffer a very heavy
loss, but they have every chance in
their favor. The traders will get their
five per cent out of the public. Sam
Slick is no where after this.

become very important factor, es-
pecially if it does what it is intended
to do in Mexico. .'t:
PROGRESS.

What makes the difference between
contending parties in a State, or be-
tween States? Both claim to be desir-
Gus of the good of their country or
countries. Both claim to be thorough
ly in earnest and thoroughly patriotic
and yet one party is detrimental to adj
vancement and the other is of the
greatest advantage to it. History is
full of such cases-but we only need
look around us at the present time.
Take the struggle going on in South
Africa. Cecil Rhodes has committed
grave faults and President Kruger is
a worthy old gentleman with much
shrewdness and experience, but there
can be no doubt about the ultimate
success, not necessarily of Cecil
Rhodes, but of the party of progress.
President Kruger represents the
party of reaction and can never keep
that in the long run. Between Greece
and Turkey the eventual outcome
must be the same. The Greeks are the
party of progress, the Turks represent
the strong inertia of conservatism. The
end is assured. The party of progress
will win. Not today, nor tomorrow,
but eventually.
Take political parties in England,
and it is the party of progress which,
in the end, is dominant and which
really shapes the policy of the coun-
try, the party of reaction having in
many cases, to follow out the plans of
the party of progress. SO it has been
in France. The Napoleonic wave, as
long as it represented progress, was
successful, and even the force of
Europe could not sustain for any
length of time the reactionary mon
archy But when Napoleonism be-
came, in its turn, reactionary the pro-
gressive Republic swept it aside like
so much old lumber.
1t is exactly the same on a small
scale on these islands. AS long as the
Monarchy was progressive it held its
own and had the strongest support of
the best minds, but the instant it be-
came reactionary and threatened to
stop progress, it fell, as all such re-
dictionaries must fall, sooner or later.
The party of progress came forward,
and as long as it remains the party of
progress it must hold its own unless
overwhelmed from without by forces
it is unable to cope with.

as can be learned DR.. Allen was in

mouth and coming ont under the
eye. The ball also struck Conductor
Seeley on the neck, intlictng Il Slight
wound.
Dufur was taken to the Junction
house on the arrival of the train and
physicians summoned. Some diff
Guilty was found in stopping the
bleeding from the wound and DR..
Smith of Hanover and Il Waterbury
physician were called and about
midnight the flow of blood was
stopped, Dufur having grown quite
weak. Unless blood poisoning oc-
ours Dufur will probably recover.
Word was sent to Sheriff Spafford
here and he and High Bailiff Jones
at once left for the Junction, where
Allen was arrested in the early
morning, taken to the Junction
house and placed under guard. DR..
Allen, it is said, was intoxicated at
the time of the shooting.
He was given a hearing before
Justice II. G. Pease Friday on Il
charge of assault with intent to kill.
and placed under $1,000 bonds. All
of DR.. Aliens property was attached
Friday, in Duflr's interest, to secure
damages, and this may make it diff
cult for him to secure bail.

Dartmouth Peary Party-.-Will Land
In the South OF Greenland.

The Dartmouth College party
which will accompany Lieut.. Peary
on his northern trip this summer
will probably not cross the Arctic
circle at all, but will land at the
southern end of Greenland.
The party will be under the charge
of Prof. Hitchcock of Dartmouth,
who is a son of the late President
Hitchcock of Amherst College.
While Prof. Hitchcock and his
party will make the study of ice
phenomena their main work, they
will land as near as possible to the
crysalite mines, which are located
about Julranshaab, in the extreme
southern portion of Greenland.
On account of the current which
skirts the east coast of Greenland,
then doubles about the southern
punt VI oICCllIdIlu dllu ilOWS IlOIth-
wardly up the west coast of the
country, and finally turns to the
south again end passes Labrador,
the Canadian provinces and the New
England coast, all the waters about
Julianshaab are filed with floating
ice in the early summer.
Lieut.. Peary expects to meet with
some difficulty in trying to land the
Dartmouth party at Iulianshaab, but
he will land them at the nearest
available point, and they will be
called for by Peary's ship on its re-
turn in the latter part of the summer.
Prof. Hitchcock has never taken a
trip to the far north, and he was in
Boston a day or two ago to confer
with Prof. Barton and Prof. Burton
of the Institute of Technology about
the outfit necessary for him to carry.
as the latter are experienced north
ern travellers.
