the bitterness and closeness Of the strug-

in dispute for long time, but Wade
Hampton took the seat finally. In 1873
he lost leg by an accident, and Its alb
sence was generally attributed by those
who saw him to a casualty of the war. In
the same year, and when by no means
sure of recovery, he was elected to the
United States senate, in which body he
served two terms, until 1890.
In describing the magnificence of his

MADE HAMPTON GONE.

Perhaps the last of the famous cOterle
passed away when General Wade Hamp.
ton died last week. Born in Columbia,
S. c., in 1878, the grandson of Wade
Hampton Of revolutionary fame, he in
herited the bluest blood and the chvalric
traditions of the hotbed of the South.
His native state has ever been unique in
our history for producing men of fiery
temperament and most punctilious
sense of honor, combined at times with
striking ability; and it was fitting-it
was well-nigh foregone conclusion
that the first gun of the rebellion should
have been fired in South Carolina. Wade
Hampton was the true exponent of the
traits that were fOstered in him since
childhood; he was the quintessence, the
ne Plus ultra, of the ideas which these
represented.
Before the war he had entered into
politics, serving terms in the legislature.
When the conflict broke out he promptly
enlisted as private, but soon organized
the afterwards celebrated cOrps-cOm-
posed Of infantry. cavalry and artillery
and known as " IIamptOns LEGION"
This body served with great effect and
at the first Bull Run-Manassas as the
southerners called Tits gallantry was
so conspicuous that its commander was
made a brigadier-general and attached to
the cavalry arm. lie was wounded at
the battle of Seven Pines, and no less
than three times at Gettysburg. In 1868
ne was promoted to be a majOr-general,
and in August, 1864, was placed in
command of Gen. Lees cavalry, with
the rank of acknowledgement. His great
personal bravery and audacity as field
marshal peculiarly adapted him to this
branch of the service.
After the surrender he would never
admit that the cause for which he had
fought was unjust, or even unwise, but
he accepted the result in philosOphic
spirit. In 1866 he said of the negro
"As a slave he was faithful to us as a
freeman let US treat him as a friend.
Deal with him frankly, justly, kindly"
This language was not eloquent in it.

South Carolinian to utter so soon after
the war. In 1876 he contested the gov

Rev. 7. Dewitt Talmage died in
Washington Saturday, April y, aged 20
years. He was a brilliant pulpit and
rostrum orator, but one who always
strove for the sensational rather than
the solid in speeches as well as in writ
ing. 1t may truly be said of him that
he effervesced through life, but his ebul-
litions pleased the masses, and his great
church in Brooklyn was always crowded
at services during his long pastorate. 1t
was as common for visitors to New York
City to cross the river to ''hear Tai
mage" on a Sunday, as it was to ride in
Central Park. For several years past
his home was in Washington.

Now it is the beef trust that is receiv-
ing the attention of the President. Last
week the United States district attorney
at Kansas City was ordered at once to
institute grand jury investigation of
the trust and its methods. OF course the
big packers deny that there is trust,
but city retailers can furnish plenty of
evidence that there is something so very
like trust that magnifving glass will
indicate no difference. The methods of
this trust are the regular trust-methods.
If city retailer in district wherein the
trust operates attempts to do his own
killing, he finds new shop opened in his
vicinity and meats offered for sale at so
low figure that he is compelled to go
out of business or sign contract to pur-
chase only from the great packing firms
and their prices are all on dead level,
a circumstance that is hardly coinci-
dence. If this does not constitute "a
combination in restraint of trade" there
is no such thing. This meat trust is
something that affects every citizen of
whatever degree, and it is to be hoped
no bubbles will be allowed to stand in
the way of smashing it.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

From wednesdays Boston journal.
Prices OF butter are up another cent this
week. owing to the continued light supplies,
and there is no certainty that the top has yet
been reached. The make in New England
and New York state shows some increase, but
the West reports a continued scarcity, and as
stocks here are cleaning up, the chances are
that present prices will be maintained for at
least week longer. Dealers who had n little
old stock to fall back upon are now forced to
come into the market and pay the full rates
for fresh butter or go without. and everybody
Is now depending upon the new arrivals.
1--WE have cleaned up all the Northern
creamery we had the last two days at 80 to
301s cents, and today have nothing to offer
under 81 cents; For fresh arrivals we are
asking 3lH to 32 cents, and VIII not accept
less" dealer said al sold several lots of
Northern creamery this morning at 81 cents,
but have no more to offer under 81 cents,
and will probably ask 80 cents tomorrow. On
the basis OF these reports we must quote the
market for fine fresh creamery 81 to 30 cents,
including Northern and Western, though very
few sales were made at over 3ls cents. This
means for trade lots. Small buyers must
expect to pay cent or two more when they
come into the market.
The general conditions OF the cheese mar
ket are unchanged. There continues to be a
running along at IL to l3H cents. On this
basis stock are steadily being cleaned up and

ADDISON COUNTY POLITICS.


The following names as candidates 1or
county officers before the Republican
county convention are mentioned: For
sheriff, the present incumbent, Thad Nj.
Chapman of Middlebury; for senator's
north end, Fred Sears of Addison; the
south end, John A. James of Weybridge
and Robert Cartmell of Nliddlebury !;
Judge of probate, Judge VIM. II. Bliss,
the present incumbent, and A. w. Dick
ems, both of Middlebury, for the Add
son district; and Judge f. A. Hassel-
tine of Bristol for the New Haven dis
trict; for states attorney, James b.
Donoway, the present incumbent, and
VIM. II. Davis, both of Middlebury.
These names include all candidates at
this time for these offices so far as known
to US.
An unusual number of these candidates
reside at Middlebury. The candidates
for senators are all good men; but
good many of the voters of the county
may be disposed to support Mr.. James
because he was so nearly nominated two
years ago, and it is perhaps doubtful
whether the county will want to select
four candidates from any one town.
Perhaps Mr.. Cartmell will determine
to wait two years, in which case we
think he would then be nominated with
out opposition. This course, as we I'M
derstand it, was pursued by Mr.. Sears
two years ago and with this result, as is
very apt to follow, for the people al
ways appreciate a Willingness on the
part of candidates to make room for
another candidate, who for any cause
many of the voters might think had d
right of way.

What is now known as Millinocket,
the magic City" of Maine, was bleak
Wilderness, threaded by an idle stream,
three years ago. Now town of 2,1OO
people is located on the spot, and the
transformation has been effected by
the erection of one mill, the largest
pulp and paper plant in the world.
Millinocket now has 300 dwellings, a
modern hotel with steam heat, porce-
lain baths, electric lights and elevator;
several smaller hotels and boarding
houses dozens of stores, several
churches, sixteen thousand dollar
schoohouse, waterworks, electric street
lights, telegraph and telephone, excel
lent railroad accommodations and q
theater. The mill employs 600 men
and makes $40 tons of white paper
daily, which is shipped to points as dis
tant as Australia. All the men at Mil
linocket get high wages, and the town
is the most prosperous place of its size
in Maine The mill grinds G0000,OOO
feet of logs into pulp every year and
has 100000 feet of logs in one pile
for present use.

A drummer for n New York house
who has been on the road for twenty
years gives it as his opinion that a
good hotel in small town has more to
do with booming the place than any
other one influence. The town may be
ever so lively, but a poorly conducted
hotel makes bad impression on stran-
gers. During the boom days in the
south the citizens of a town looked to
their hotels before anything else.
