HARDLY A COINCIDENCE.

Two of our republican exchanges,
one published OF last Friday and tue
other ON Saturday, present a similari-
ty of thought and expression on poll
tical subjects which can hardly be
duo to a coincidence. They each con
tain several political items,
couched in the same language, word
for word, ana comma for comma a
fact rather suggestive of a common
origin than of a mere coincidence.
These two exchanges come to us
from two different parishes of the
third district, and the proximity OF
the date of their publication renders
it improbable one may have copied
from the other.
But, what confirms us in the opin-
ion that these items have a common
origin, is the fact that a republican
exchange of last Saturday which
comes to US from a far off State, con
tains Two of the seven items appearing
in our 1.-TWO Louisiana exchanges, 10
identically the same words, not omit
ting a comma.
Now, it would appear from these
items that the republicans have an
organized literary bureau from which
ready made opinions are furnished
country organs on the subjects of the
tariff of prosderity, and Organism, a.
our enemies are pleased to call the
doctrines enunciated in the Chicago
platform.
It further creates the suspicion thai
much of the newspaper talk abouI
prosperity may be just so much bun
combe, an attempt to form a belief il
its existence before II really exists.
That our readers may judge fol
themselves, we prefer to reproduce thu
items in fnii, even at the risk of beins

The prosperity for the farmers
may have come "withent the aid or
consent Of the silver trust, as our
republican prosperity making exchan-
ges put it, but it IS also truth to
say that it has come without
the aid of the Dingley bill. nay,
in spite of it. The prosperity our
friends speak Of is altogether due to
foreign demands for our wheat, owing
to the failure of crops in Europe and
India, and short crops in Argentina
and Brazil. But, of course, that fact
will not stand IN the way of our repnb-
lican friends claiming credit for the
rise in the price OF wheat 0 any
more than the fact that the Dingley
Bill carries no duty on cotton will
prevent them from claiming credit for
better prices for cotton. When it
comes to claiming, our frler DIS are en-
titled to the cake every time.
As to their rejoicing over the fall in
the price Of silver, it but confirms
what has been suspected all the time :
that the republicans are not sincere in
their professions of friendship for the
"whlte metal" and that all their talk
about international bimettallism and
currency conference, and what not, ls
inleuded only to throw dust in the
eyes of the people.
But perhaps, our friends are a bit
premature in their r%ejoicings; they

DEATH OF EBENEZER s. GILLETTE.
 In the death of Ebenezer s. Gillette, this town has sustained severe loss. He had been in failing health for some time and on last week Saturday, passed away, at an early hour in the morning,in his 75th year. Mir Gillette was one of the best known and most highly respect ed citizens in the community. For many years he carried on the grocery business in the store adjoining his house and for the greater part of this time acted as town clerk, until failing health compelled him to give up his pubic trusts. His sterling integrity and unfailipg kindliness of disposition won for him the respect and love of all with whom he came in contact, and his death has left a gap which 1t will be hard to fill. The funeral services was conducted from his late home on Tuesday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, Rev W. M. Weeks, pastor of the Baptist church, Officiating. Thcsdeceas- ed has been connected for many years with this church, and MT Weeks preach ed an appropriate sermon. The inter- ment was in the cemetery adjoining the church and the bearers who bore the re- mains to their last resting place were Bennett Seeley, Eber Gould, Amos Cam dee and GeorgesS. Blanks. He is sur vived by wife, two sons, George s. and Edward D., and one daughter, Mrs. Judson Conklin, wife of Rev Judson Conklin of Trenton, NJ.

YOUNG LADY HAS AN INTERESTING Ex-
 FERENCE IN THE PARK CITY. Quite recently a young lady of this place entered we'll known and popular store at Bridgeport to purchase some candy. Seeing the kind she likes she said she would take pound. The young lady was waited upon, and as she sup posed when paying for it gave the gentle man quarter and had waited 15 minutes when young lady asked:her the trouble. She replied that she was waiting for her change. Being asked who waited upon her she replied: That Dutchman.' g The Dutchman being called, she asked him for her 15c change, which he said he did not have, and that she did not give him only l0o. She said she did. He said she didn't, and as the fellow was Dutch she concluded not to waste any more words. She thought she would have the change any way, so handing the lady that stood by another quarter asked her to give her 15c change, which she did. The joke is that the pound of candy cost 35c when it should only cost 1Oc.
