The Point OF View.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Transcript devotes large
space to discussion of the pardon of
Mussey, the former cashier of Mer-
chants National bank of Rutland.
"No pardon in recent years." he says,
"has excited 80 much comment in
Washington" Dispatches to the
newspapers from Rutland describe his
pardon as having been granted month
ago on representations that the prison.
er was on his death-bed, and add that
he has just started, q we'll man, for an
extended hunting trip in the Adiron-
dacks."
The correspondent AYERS that the
statement that Mussey was pardoned
because he was supposed to be on his
death-bed is certainly an exaggeration,
and tends to throw suspicion on the
report that he is on hunting trip in
the Adirondack.
The correspondent then proceeds to
show, from an examination of the pa
pers in the case, how the doctors, the
minister, the district attorney and the
judge reported on the case, and 10
what shape it went to the attorney gen.
eral, to secure his favorable considers-
ton and recommendation OF pardon by
the President. In the view Of the cor.
respondent, "the greater probability il
that Mussey's trip to the mountains il
part of the regimen prescribed by his
physicians for bringing him out Of his
physical trouble, "and "the whole ques
ton involved in the caseIis whether,un'
der all the circumstances attending the
crime, confession and punishment Of
Mussey" pardon was justifable, and

the Adirondack trip and the rest of
the incidentals have nothing to do
with the answer to this question"
1t is very likely true that any of the
unfortunate mans critics, put in his
place or in that of his friends, would
find little to say against the pardon,
the means by which it was obtained,
or the subsequent proceedings. Prob
ably a great many weary newspaper
men would prefer to be enjoying the
cool retreats OF the Adirondacks to the
ungrateful duty OF abiding in their dens
during the season of heat and flies and
writing languid preachments on the
sin of bank wrecking and crucifying
the men and officials who, mistaken or
otherwise, have been merciful to the
sinner.

greatest monarchy, wife of one of the
noblest knights Of modern chivalry,
and mother of the "war lord of En-
rope" There were other titles to dis
tinctioD, sufficiently numerous to tax
the strength of the proclaiming herald.
They are a part OF the emblazoned his
tory of the age. With such things at
this time, however, the world will have
little to do. 1t is of her as woman,
daughter, wife and mother, rather than
as queen and empress, that other
women and men will think.
She may perhaps be best character
lied in phrase as her mothers own
child. She was the firstborn, and she
seemed to have inherited in the first
and strongest degree the maternal traits
of mind and heart and soul. There was
a striking resemblance between mother
and daughter in countenance. But
they were most alike in character and
in some details of career. Each made
early in life, pure love match, being
compelled by force OF the etiquette Cf
precedence to take the initiative in the
wooing. Each married German
prince of singularly noble characteris-
tics, physical, mental and moral. Each
had an ideally pure and lovely domest C
life. And each at the zenith of her
worldly distinction suffered the be-
reavement of widowhood.
There was marked similarity in
strength of will and resolute exercise of
personal influence over the current Of
affairs both great and small. The
story OF Empress Frederick's contest
with Prince Bismarck, and also with
her imperial son, has yet to be written,
or made public. If ever it does APP
pear it will probably be seen that the
name Victoria was in those incidents a
fitting one for the queen and empress.
That, however, and other things which
rise to mind, belong 10 history. For
the present hour it is enough to re-
member that a woman who was en
inspiration to her sex and race is
dead.-New York Tribune.

Evans and the "Insect.v

"Bob" Evans has filed considerable
space in periodical literature, describing
his experiences and achievements in
the navy. He commanded the Iowa in
the battle of Santiago de Cuba. He
was then captain, but has since be-
come rear admiral, along with some
other naval captains who had second
airy, or no part at all, in that brilliant
achievement of the new navy of the
United States. The navy department
seems to have a way of pushing up
the Higginsons-of setts-the
Evanses, ETC., who have no extraordi-
nary services to their credit but who
tumble up the ladder Of promotion by
sheer force of routine propulsion.
Captain Bob-or Admiral Bob, as he
is uow-is clever writer, and pic
turesque representative of his country,
abroad or at home. AT the ceremon les
opening the Kiel canal, commanding
the New York, the Emperor of Ger
were pleased with him and his ship,
which he exhibited to great advantage,
according TO his very readable story Of
that interesting event.
Captain Boo was chum of Presi-
dent Cleveland and his companion on
his somewhat famous duck hunting ex-
cursion. Bluff and picturesque, un-
questionably capable officer and a
good fghter-though his sobriquet Of
"Fighting Bob" is somewhat a matter
of romance-his exploits and exper-
fences probably do not,-as they GER
tainly ought not to-lose any incident
or element of interest in the telling
by himself.
In book he has recently published
Admiral Evans refers to Hon. William
E. Chandler of New Hampshire, who
was once secretary Of the navy, as an
"insect." The manner OF the refer
ence is somewhat characteristic of the
redoubtable writer, when he does not
happen to like the subject Of his dis
course, and now the ex-secretary wants
his successor to reduce the disrespect-
full Bob to the ranks. Thus do troubles
accumulate on the amiable head OF the
department which has to it's credit 80
much Of the glory of the late war with
Spain, which has proved to be 80 great
boon to certain eminent naval gentle
men who have gathered in the plums
ratified down by their heroic but unrec-
ognized and unrewarded subordinates.
But one court of il quiry at time, the
secretary will think, is enough. Adj
miral Evans is quite secure.

After All, What Is ItY

After all, what is there in Old Home
WeekP Suppose we invite lot of
former residents of Vermont to come
back and see the old home at their
own expense. What do we accomplish?
We get possibly one in hundred-more
likely one in a thousand-to come
back for day or two. They see the
old home, with mighty little change
from what it vas when they were
here. Does it induce them to return
permanently? Hardly. Further, if
thousands should come they would
come because they wanted to come.
The visit would not be made because
we asked them to come and pay all
their own bills to listen to our oratory
and see our bunting and our parades
and our horse trots, etc. They are not,
like the prodigal, invited to come and
partake freely of the fatted calf and
other good things-that is, unless their
relatives provide the good things. The
Net1S has never been able to see much
in Old Home Week.-Burlington News.
Possibly the contemporaries estimate
of this new institution is affected by
the frigidity of it's environment, as it
says "the majority OF the people of
Burlington are indifferent regarding
it"-Old Home Week. The institution
is wholly sentimental-a very nice and
proper thing in it's way, but if anybody
is expecting that Vermont will derive
any material advantage from the insti-
tuition, he is pre-destined to disappoint-
ment. The rehabilitation of the rural
regions of Vermont requires for it's sue,
successful accomplishment something
stronger than sentiment, something
more effective than nostrums. That
something is not yet in sight.

Read and Think!

Two documents connected with the
steel strike printed yesterday, are
worthy Of particular study.
In the preamble to the resolution
adopted by this city's Board OF Del
egates OF Miscellaneous Trades is this:
1.-THE Steel Trust refuses the general rec
ognition OF the union Of the workers,
though the trust itself Is an organization
which demands recognition by the union"
What would happen il the union re-
fused to recognize the steel trust we
fail to imagine. But the statement
that the trust has refused general rec
IGNITION OF the union OF the workers is
q fat falsehood. Witness the various
conferences between the company and
the union.
Let US turn to President Shaffer's
strike order:
Those who are now striving for the
right to organize"
What strife is there for the right to
organize? What opposes it? The
terms which the steel company last
week proposed and which President
Shaffer accepted opened the door to
union organization in all mills.

When Father Rode The Goat.

The house is full of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike a note;
The doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge a week ago
Got in at a. M,
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained, and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And practicing his signs
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords meath his breath,
And other things Le'll quote
They surely had an evenings ork
When father rode the goat.
He has gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue,
A hat with plumes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But, somehow, when we mention it,
He wears look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.
