JAMAICA.
AREwEL1 TO DIR AND MRS O poANR.

FAREWELL TO DIR AND MRS DOANR.
The hearts of the people of Jamaica and
ueighborlng towns, spoke on the evening of
the thir,ieth of March-the occasion of that
speech, being an informal farewell to DR. and
Mrs G B D ,ane, WIN on April first, re.
moved to Springfield, Vt. The doctor came
to Jamaica, four years ago, to his first prac
tice. That it has been a successful one, in
the fullest sense of the word, goes without
saying, when we realize that quite one hun
bred and seventy five of his almost personal
friends. many of whom we're grateful patients,
met IN the hall OF the Jamaica Dramatic CcS,
to show their affectinnate regard, and bid him
God Speed. The Rev A j Cameron, speak
ing for tmsica friends, presented to the DR.
as souvinir, a medicine case, of superior
workma ship, and to Mrs Doane, who is
scarcely less beloved than her husbands
beautifully artistic Ice pitcher, for them both.
Mr.. and Mrs. Theo dore Barber received with
DR.. and Mrs. Doane, and presented from the
Fownshend friends, an elegant linen table
service Mrs. Doane responded for herself.
and the doctor made short talk, calculated
to sink into the minds of all who heard him
A hearty recognition is due to DR. Green
wood for his efficiency in helping to complete
the arrangements. A letter OF warm appre-
citation was received from the Rev. Mr. Palm
er of Stratton, too late for reading, at the pub
lie demonstration. A social feature was sing.
ing by the brothers Willis, and Messrs Allen
and Pickett, with Miss Willis at the organ
The two young sons of Mr. Rickett, added
significantly to the pleasure of the people. by
singing promptly without instrumental &C
compartment. A coffee, cake and sandwich
lunch, revealed each to his neighbor, COM
mon cspabllity of enj oyment. Although the
occasion wore an air Of festivity, there ran
through it all an undertone of sorrowful re-
greet at what we were about to lose.

The Wage.Earners Must Suffer.

There are boreful indications that a more
intelligent and broad min ded Undertaking
of the relationship that exists between the
railroads of the country and the general pub
lie is about to give place to the more ma row
and socialistic views that have prevailed in
the past
There is still, however, a certain large, and
to some extent Influential element in the
community which is he sping up persistent
fight against the railroads, ostensibv for the
purpose of benefiting their patrons by bring
ing about reduction in what they claim to
be excessive rates of passenger fares.
Their agitation has been carried, in many
instar ces, to the legislatures of New Eng
land states; but, as rule, thew have met
| with little encoui agement, since the average
| legis'ato whatever his other faults may be,
has business sense enough to real re that
| there are two sides to this and all similar
| questions.
| The trouble with the people who are so in
sistently agitating this reduction in fares is
| that they do not stop to follow out the work
| ings of their so-called "reform" to its logical
conclusion.
In their "strike" against the railroad cor
pnrations, they may possibly regard, with in-
difference, the Chance that the success of
their proposition will endanger the dividends
of the stockholders; but the fact that the
thousands of men who are earning their
bread and butter through their connection
with the railroads may also be pecuniarily
affected has, apparently, never occurred to
them.
And yet, this is precisely what is bound to
occur if railroads are to be compelled to do
business at loss, as so many people seem
determined they shall be.
A railroad stands exactly as any other bust
ness enterprise, with relation to its invested
capital and the road that cannot earn fair div.
dends is not long regarded as a good business
proposition. When its margin of profit is
materially reduced from whatever cause,
either its dividends or the wages of its en-
ployes have got to be reduced in proportion.
1t is showing scant consideration for an in
dustrious and faithful body of men, whose
interests are bound up with those of every
community in the land. when such blow at
the earning power of the railroads is at
tempted. 1t is anything but a friendly act
toward these workers, and it is remarkable
that this fact has not been given prominence
long ago.

silt, at the foot of the falls, instead of going
down 10 bed rock for foundation, and that
