Her Non-Arrival With Sick Soldiers

NEW YORK, August ga special to the
World from Boston says:
The Red Cross hospital ship Solace, with
sick and wounded sailors from Santiago
was due here Thursday. No tidings have
been received of her since she left the shores
Of Cuba, and grave fears have arisen con-
corning her safety.
The Solace has on board a number Of

the hospital, which is a decrease. The
number at the detention camp was 236, and
this was also lower record than yester-
day.

Strikes.

Considering the strike New
England industries have met a
danger the like of which they
have never encountered before.
When the south was a dumping
ground for old and effete machin-
cry and her operatives wanting
in skill and liability New Eng
land could better stand strike
OF her employees because she then
had no sharp competition to
rise against, but now with the
best, new and most effective ma
chinery and bright, skillful men
to operate it in the south, in
short, with all conditions equal
if not superior to New England,
and labor far below that of New
England employees, strike I'm
der such circumstances and in
the face of such sharp competi-
tionis an overwhelming calam-
ity. What a pity it is that en-
ployees will not lend a hand to

Concentration Strengthens,
Expansion WeakenS.

The restless spirit which pre-
walls and which induces men to
instead of developing the i'm
mense resources of the country,
harmonizing internal differences
and adjusting our own public
machinery and is constantly
struggling to get in belligerent
touch with some nation outside
is likely to find ample scope for
the exercise and qualification of
it's desires. The Monroe policy
when properly expounded and
applied is a doctrine of unques-
toned policy and wisdom; but
when used as an irritant or an
excuse for getting into other
peoples business it's use is more
vicious because it falsely seems to
be founded on a correct principle,
We said some weeks since in a
suppositious way that the ex-
IRENE length to which some
would carry the Monroe doctrine
would under some circumstances
compel us to protect Canada
from foreign invasion. Now it is
being said practically that the
United States cannot consistently
stand by and permit a non-Ameri-
can power to acquire or hold by
conquest any territory on the
American continent and there,
fore as a just conclusion the Uni
ted States would be compelled tc
protect Canada from invasion
and to prevent any power acquir
ing it in case England should be
at war with any other power
. And so the Canadian press anC
people feel pleased with the ap
} plication of such extreme logic a;
, we have had to their real want,
: or rather anticipated needs. l
has been a reality in the minds o
Canadians and very many of ou
own people. The Montreal Sta
published the exact manner il
which it is expected that the de
fence will be made. 1t is sait
/ that the United States can max,
this defence with comparativ,
ease and with slight expenditure
: in addition to what Canad;
, could and would do" 1t is sait
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1898-01-28

that the only vulnerable points
of attack are the mouth of the
ST. Lawrence OH thceast side and
Victoria and about the western
terminus of the Canadian Pacifi,
Railway on the west side s,
that in case of England being er
gagged in a war with any Other
power she would be free to MS,
her navy 10 protect her hom,
islands while Canada'S who'll
land force would be centered at
the mouth of the St. Lawrence
and at Victoria, and the Unite,
States would furnish the nava
protection. Now don't laugh
Those men are not to be blamed
for the ridiculous errand on which.
they are sending Uncle Sam to
the mouth of the st. Lawrence
1t is a direct conclusion from
premises which have been uttered
all over this country and which
have filled New England. The di.
rect tendency OF the logic of these
times is to compel this country
to defend Canada just as above
suggested, not with any cause ot
quarrel but simply as the result
of and to vindicate her national
logic. Canada would say tC
Uncle Sam that he might swing
on her front gate in return foi
the splendid logic of his boys. Ii
other words for such magnificent
defence and i'll return for the los.
of the brave tars whose blood i.
to crimson the waters of the st
Lawrence this country will b,
permitted to share in zollvereil
system of tariffs. We can dc
nothing to direct or influence tn
current sentiments of the times
but we can as small boys do
gaze on a wreck when daylight
comes and can see a logical dis
aster when assertions are ru
into real conditions and end i
most ridiculous results.

she had been accustomed TO in

some electric Continuance. The
boy would leave in disgust ii he

Should we then return to the
time when women and children
were every way exposed to the
inclemency OF the weather and
when hundreds and thousands OF
the former were killed annually
by lifting and Juggling, and by
exposure, and leave our painted

ISLAND POND. JANUARY y.
Repeal il.

In 1894 an act was passed by
the legislature providing that i
n person is found intoxicated on
conviction he shall pay a fine
with an alternate sentence OF i'm
prisnnmcnt in the county jail.
Tins provision was opposed by
several legislators on the ground
that the respondent could not be
put TO labor, and a conviction
and sentence would only lay the
person convicted up for a term
in idleness. This has turned out
to be just that result. But at the
time the act was passed our
places Ior the confinement OF
criminals, Especially the house of
correction) were in a very con-
gested condition; and this pro-
vision was made to meet that
emergency. Now some of our
jliis are being filled with that
class of criminals, and sending
them there amounts to as much
and no more than sending them
to a comfortable house of enter
tainmeut and paying their bills
for them. Men indulge in revelry
disturb the public with midnight
orgies, and as reward and en-
enlargement for so doing they
are transported toquarters more
comfortable than most of their
own homes (if they have any
and they are supported in idle,
ness and comfort for ten, twenty
or thirty days at the public ex
pense. Now what is to be done
about it? The act must remain
in force of course until the next
les legislature when in all human
probability it will be repealed
for the necessity for it has passed
In tine meantime as this offence i;
usually accompanied by thecom
mission of some other, like as
sault or disturbance of the pub
lie peace or domestic tranquil,
it seems to us that where tn
matter is optional prosecutor
.should charge the latter offence
and so relieve our jails from tn
farce of keeping men there in cas-
and comfort and thus offering
reward and encouragement 70
violation of the law.

If?

"Our country, our whole coun-
try and nothing but our counry."
The great man who uttered these
words is dead, and it sometimes
seems as though the words them
selves had died away in the cars
and memory of men, for indi-
vidual interests must be first
considered, local interests next,
and the general interests of the
country last. If that congress
sional team should be straight
ened out and all pull in one d.
rection business would stir and
move from the very top to the
bottom of the current. If de-
si@ners and promoters of enter
prises were all generous towards
laborers, and laborers were not
maliclously and madly trying TO
tear down enterprises, if tariff
could be adjusted by a candid
and dispassionate consideration
of the interests of the whole
country instead of in a selfish
strife to have it adjusted for To-
cal advantages, ifreciprocal trade
with Canada could be discussed
without having All eye to it's adj
justment to benefit some port or
locality at the expense of the
country, in short, if congress, the
leading men in the country and
the press were not pulling in SO
many ways, and if they should
pull altogether for the whole
country how quick clogs would
be removed and progress
started which is almost beyond
human conception.

tide by such business crisises.
and what a pity 1t is that CAPT
talists do not in prosperity do
more To induce and enable labor
ers to carry by places difficult of
navigation, Men will not con-
tentedly stand by and see sala-
ries of ten and twenty thousand
dollars raised and the dollar a
day man cut down as an econo-
mic necessity, and they ought
not to. But when the business
piuches and the real necessity
comes they are unreasonable and
exacting. 1t is said that capital
lists are more likely To be just be-
cause it is for their interests to
be so. Such is not a necessary
result from the nature of things.
1t is for the interests of the brain
to do Just what is for the good
of the stomach and the other in
ferior physical organs because
its very life depends on them.
But it too often destroys them
by building itself up at their ex-
pense. The employer is gener-
ally the most responsible because
the most intelligent. But the
greatest fault and folly if the
members of the human body
were capable and had volition
would be for them to combine
against the brain. Such equal
and absolute dependence of CAPT
tai and labor the one upon the
other requires more conciliatory
action the one to the other. For
the former to 60 quietly off with
bags of money and not give the
men and women who helped pro-
duce it their fair proportion is
robbery. To combine TO cripple
mans business when he is nee
essarily trimming to meet a
sharp and unusual competition
is foul conspiracy and suicidal,
And the men who ring from the
hard hand of toll small earnings
to support them in idleness i'll

lence are most cruel and con
temptible. Manufactures viii
exist w here conditions are most
favorable (the class we are con
sidering). But they are now

, is real. Now a combination
. to smother the most essentia
, interests of New England ant
r those most beneficial to tht
poorer class and to build up the
south at the expense of New
England is to say the least de
plorable. The south with it
advantages and with the aid o
those who depend upon the hel
for support may succeed in kill

Hard Times,

1t is almost amusing at times
to listen to discussions on this
subject. Those who participate
in those discussions seldom refer
to individual conditions or the
aggregate comfort or happiness
ofthe people. They dealin learned
comparisons of some financial
conditions OF the country now as
compared with some other times,
to the public debt, to compare
tive exports and imports. or to
some other theory having more
or less remote bearing on the in
dividual happiness of the people.
Now it is all right to consider all
such questions or considerations
in order to determine the true
policy for the government to pur-
sue, but as a matter of personal
lamentation it is very difficult to
find any hard times to weep over.
Take a cottage, either a rough,
implanted or red one, that was
called comfortable fifty years ago,
with its bare walls, old, rough,
high-backed "settle," rude fire
place, it's huge pots, kettles, reel
and long strings of dried apple,
under which is the boys checker
board, planed perhaps on one
side, and beside which sits the
daughter in her five cent calico
dress rejoicing in a three dollar
accordion, while the boy is in the
rude shop trying from rough
boards to manufacture some
thing reasonably circular for ii
toy carriage. There are faint
traces through the drifting snow
out to the old we'll sweep and
curb for there is no well-housc
there), and out to the Outhouses
and barns and into the wOodshed
where the woodpile lays half con-
cealed in snow drifts, and per-
hapS none to the barn from
which the milkman is wallowing
with pail of half frozen and
dirty milk, to set a day or two
in no matter what temperature
and then to be churned with the
old fashioned dash churn so as
to extract butter for the family
and perhaps a little for market
The inmates were comparatively
contented and happy. Now place

stances and conditions in that

The services in Chapel Hall were
again made doubly interesting. The
inmates always appreciate an impress
sive sermon and especially such as was
delivered Sunday morning by Chaplain
Corcoran. But seldom if ever before
have we had the opportunity and
pleasure of listening to good-cheer
from a former fellow unfortunate.
George Bidwell, who thus paid his
respects to us had been sentenced to
life Imprisonment in England together
with three associates, and only shortly
has he been pardoned; after having
served fifteen years. Since his release
has succeeded in effecting the release
of his accomplices, and also regained
the respect of the public.
After the regular services Warden
Wolfer with fitting eulogy introduced
Mr.. Bidwell.
Mr. Bidwell in narrating of the pun
ishment he had undergone, and of his
present efforts and success, followed
by advice and good cheer was listened
to throughout with marked attention.
He we'll set forth and exemplifes what
