Atroclties In Other Wars.

Mr.. Burton, of Kansas, concluded
the speech which he began Wednes
day. He referred as instances of
atrocious cruelty to the battle of
Wounded Knee, to the Mountain
Meadow massacre and to the massa-
ere of Union soldiers at Fort Pillow,
and contended that the action of the
American troops in the Philippines
was, in most instances, entirely with
in the regulations of civilized war
fare.
In response to some statements
made Wednesday by Mr.. Tillman, Mr.
Vest, of Missouri, delivered force
full and effective speech and made an
historical contribution with reference
to the Hampton Roads conference be-
tween President Lincoln and Confed
crate leaders.
He denied that Lincoln offered
the southern leaders everything they
wanted, to save the Union.
He said the Confederate leaders de-
manded the absolute independence of
the southern confederacy and Lincoln
refused. The conference was then
ended.
He. gave Reagan, Hunter and
Stevens as his authorities, and also
said that he was member of the
Confederate senate when the report
was made, and pointed out that he Is
the only surviving member of that

Years of experience has taught
purchasers of groceries and other
staples, that certain business con-
Germs are always to be relied upon
as handling only the best goods
in the market. BY this means a
steady trade is established, and
without any desires to boast we
can honestly assert our right to
the confidence of our customers,
and the satisfaction of knowing
that our stock is always new, the
best, and in the vegetable or fruit
lines, as fresh as can be had.
The public is always interested
in fine jewelry, etc, and in these
lines our stock offers some large
advantages, inasmuch as we sell
the best movements and cases in
the watch line, at prices that are
as low as tho trade offers in the
largest cities in the country. Ex-
anime our stock of silverwaTe be-
fore making any purchases. Re-
pairing promptly executed.

ENGLISH VIEW OF THE SITUATION
Strong Movement toward American
Settlement with London.

There is undoubtedly a strong move
ment toward paying off the American in
debtedneSs in london, but whether it can
be done with foodstufs and merchandise
or whether it will ntccsSitatc the importa-
ton of gold the ~best-posted men in the
world could not tell at the present mo-
ment.' This is the opinion of the head Of
the best-known Anslo-Arnorican bank in
London. Discussing the financial situa
ton to-day, he said:
O course, bringing gold from New
York at this time of the year would not
he a normal course of things, bat the con-
trolling factor III the situation is the
mount of New Works debt to London.
and that no one could estimate without
going through every bill box in london
and also asccrtaining the actual amount
of stocks held on the Stock Exchange for
An eriCar commitment.
There is no special reason so far as
I am aware why a large amount of gold
should be wanted here now. No larg, ma
tional loans arc impending or anything of
that sort Put, on the other hand there
is so much zone tied up in proitless in
veotments that really it is a hard job to
get cash to pay the butchers bill. Take
South Africa. where they have shot away
about $50D,Gn.OJ0. That makes a big hole
in the nations savings. Then the list of
South African securities on the Stock Ex-
change represents about 1880 10.uo tied
up in stock that does not average a -
per cent dividend. Consequently. ready
money is scarce.
There is no market here now for any
thing and nobody is buying for invest
ncnt. But whether it will come to akinG
gold from America | am quite sure no
body is yet in a position to say"

his daughters and boy the father was
herding sheep last Friday. The boy was
unable to keep UP with the others. The

peel the loose bark off a tree that over
hung the spring. When the father re-

OLD GORGON" GRAHAM'S PHIL,

I remember reading once that some fell
lows use language to conceal thought;
but it's been my experience that a good
many more use it instead Of thought.
A business mans conversation should
be re gulated by fewer and simpler rules
than any other function of the human an

Have something to say.
Say it.
Stop talking.
Beginning before you know what you
want to say and keeping on after you have
said it lands a merchant in a lawsuit or

the other.
It's all right when you are calling on a
girl or talking with friends after dinner

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Mr.. Prcble of Shoreham has introduced
a bill in the House, which does away with
the possibility Of defective ballots be-
cause of double marking. Mr.. Preble's
bill removes the square at the top of a
ballot and provides that all names for
candidates for town representative shall
be placed in one column 1t is the opinion
of those who have studied this matter
that Mr.. Prcble's bill is "A move in the
right direction.

ate and House gave u hearing Thursday
afternoon on House bill "a. to pay the
town Of Groton Sl2l.ii for permanent road

Origin of n Famous Hymn.

DR.. Cuylcr in telling the story of IA
millar hymns gives this interesting cir
cumstance concerning "Onward, Chris
tan Soldiers" 1t seems that the one
who wrote this hymn was trying to
help his brother, who was II clergy
man in the Church of England, TO get
his Sunday school In good marching
order, so he thought this hymn might
help, and he had the school led by one
who carried a cross. Some gentlemen
OF the church found fault with the car
rying Of the cross and thought it look
ed poplsh.
"Well," he said, I'VE can leave that
out, and ! can alter the hymn, and we
can sing II, With the cross OF Jesus
left behind the door" "Oh, no." said
the good brother. "Perhaps you had
better let II be az it Is"
