tobacco stems (midribs of the leayes)

what the Beers viii Find.


The Boer commissioners will find
in the United States house divided
against Itself. q nation whose basic
principle rs expou1ded in the warnings
of its wisest statesmen from the begin
ming, was to avoid all foreign alliances
and entanglements, now so tangled up
in every variety of them that it dare
not even sympathize with nation
struggling for freedom, as it struggled
over century ago.
1t is openly confessed by the Re-
publicans organs, and regarded by
them as 4 thing TO be proud of. that our
entrance upon the human bubble as a
worlds power precludes us from TAX
ing up any new struggle lest our COM
mercial relations be adversely effected.
They will find an administration per-
hitting its high and low salaried off
Gals to leave their posts of duty to tout
for it, and by promises of office and
influence, or else by threats of depriva-
ton of all means of employment,
forcing upon the people the continual
ton of policy that is breaking down
the nation.
They will wonder how long it will be
before high state officials will be Sc
lected by direct appointment from the
chief executive of the nation The ex-
ample of Comptroller Dawes man
aging the Illinois Republican State con-
yention suggests a possibility.
When these Boer commissioners see
all these things and think them over,
and perceive how the people lie help
less at the feet of a special class, and
that all of our boosted freedom,
screaming eagles, waving flags and
Fourth of July orations are nothing
but gush, they will go home, fold their
nantes about them and await the
death blow to the last opportunity of
ever securing human liberty Even

THE Old STONE HOUSE.
Movement for tho Preservation of a
Guilford Landmark.

The preserva ton of the old Stone
House at Guilford as a state museum
is a matter of much interest to the peo-
pie of Connecticut, and especially to
those in and out of the state, who have,
by association or descent, personal in
terest in the old town of Guilford
The different owners of the property
have finally agreed to convey by deed
to the state of Connecticut, for $500,
all of the Stone House lot, which fronts
on Whitfield street. being 400 to 500
feet front, and running back several
hundred feet to the rear of the house
to a creek that runs through the farm.
This area Is ample and sufficient. The
owners will retain the privilege of re-
moving the barns now upon the prem
ises, and their removal will be an i'm
provement rather than detriment to
the place.
The state of Connecticut has appro-
priated $4,000 toward the purchase, and
the town of Guilford has appropriated
$4,000 on condition that the whole of the
area above named is included. This
leaves $2,0 900 to be raised by private sub
scription, about 81 300 of which has
been subscribed by friends in Guilford
and New Haven, leaving about $500 yet
to be subscribed.
When the title has been passed to the
state, the governor will appoint a board
of trustees to take care of the property,
he a1a
ford being one of them, ex-officio, and
these trustees will have charge of the
old Stone House and it's grounds. We
believe the opportunity to purchase
should not be lost when so much has
been done.
The town appropriation is contingent
on the purchase being consummated be-
fore July l, 1900.
Any persons willing to contribute are
requested to send the subscription in
cash or by check to George S. Davis at
Guilford, he being the custodian of
funds already subscribed, and being
also the treasurer of the town
