SARAH DUNCAN MCLEAN.
Demise of Most Noble Woman at the
Age OF IS Years.

Sarah Duncan Mclean, mother of
Mrs. Andrew Stewart and of Messrs.
Archie D., Daniel and Malcolm Nc
Lean, passed away at the home OF
her daughter in Delhi township at
1:45 clock on Thursday morning
of last week. Old age was the cause
of death. The constitution of the
patient gradually ran down for the
past two or three years, and while
there were minor ailments, the
clock of life was so badly worn that
the heart ceased it's beating owing
to it's years of constant work. Mrs.
Mclean had been weak all winter
and up to the time of her demise,
growing gradually weaker until the
end came.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church at Delhi, COM
mencing at one o'clock last Friday
afternoon, the Rev. G. G. Adams,
pastor of the church, officiating.
The services at the church we're at
tended by host of relatives and
! friends, who have known the de-
ceased during her 33 years resi-
dence in Delhi township, and who
on that day paid their last respects
to this most noble lady. The min
lister dwelt upon the life of the de-
ceased in an unusually impressive
manner, upon her devotion to the
church and the bible, and upon her
good work in the world. The in
terment occurred in the Red wood
cemetery, long line of teams, haul
ling friends, following the remains
to their last resting place.
1t was somewhat of a remarkable
history that closed with the extin-
gushing of the lamp OF life of Sarah
Duncan Mclean. Born in the is
land of Gigha, off the county of
Argyleshire, Scotland, on May rs,
1919, she saw the light of day but
one day earlier than the noble Queen
Victoria, who presided over the
destinies of the English Empire for
so many years. On the isle where
she first saw light Sarah Duncan
remained with her parents for near
ly 81 years, assisting in the farm
work andiin the tolls of household
cares. During this time she met
James Mclean, who, in about 1910,
took her for better or worse, and
the young couple remained in Scot
land until 1849, when they sailed
for Canada, settling on a farm in
that country, and remaining there
until 1870 Then they came direct
to Delhi, Minnesota, and were list

Renville Record The county
fair meeting at Bird Island Satur-
day attracted large number of in
terested people from the villages
along the line. The business men
of Renville and Olivia both sent
delegations to the meeting to offer
to provide home for the fair in
case the agricultural society did
not see fit to hold the fair there
again. The impression had gone
forth that Bird Island did not care
particularly for the fair, but the
people of that village evidently
changed their minds Saturday, for
in the forenoon meeting of the
business men was held and it was
decided that the town would stand
by the fair financially if it was held
there again, and the different bus
mess firms signed pledge to that
effect. The mass meeting was held
in the afternoon and the offers of
the three towns were laid before
the directors of the society, who
decided that the fair should stay at
Bird Island if the town gave their
support to it. The agitation of the
question of moving the location has
had good result in stirring up
interest and arousing reople to the
value and necessity of a good coun-
ty fair and may result in a better
exhibit than has been the case in
the past three years.

ed among the old settlers of Red
wood county. Mrs. Mclean toiIed
with her husband on the Mclean
homestead, and when he passed
away in June of 1877, she took up
on herself the responsibility of
managing the farm, and keeping
her boys and daughters at work
with her in making it one of the
finest farms in Delhi township. She
remained on the farm for II years,
or until the boys concluded that
they were ready to give up the
work and move into the village
Even then, Mrs. Mclean, who took
up her residence with her daugh-
ter, insisted on doing her own work,
labor which she cheerfully and
anxiously performed up to within a
short time of her demise.
Mrs. Mclean was the mother of
ten children, only four OF whom sur
vived her-Mrs. Andrew Stewart of
Delhi township, A. D. and Daniel
Mclean of Delhi village, and NAL
colin Mclean of Butte, Montana, the
latter being the only absentee at
the death and funeral services.
The deceased was a member oil
the old established Presbyterian
church, which she joined in child
hood. When the disruption occurred
she joined the free church and has
since been a devoted member. The
bible~was her constant companion
and her love OF bible reading and O.
bible stories was devoted and sin

A Good Beginning.

The decision of the Brattleboro H.
cense commissioners not To grant a
license for saloon in Brattleboro will
meet with the heartiest public approx
al. The decision is in line with the
overwhelming sentiment of this vii
lage. not only of prohibitionitsts. but
of license advocates as well. 1t is
further TO be said that the general
tenor of the rules laid down by the
commissioners will be warmly ap-
proved. They represent a determine
tion to administer the law, not only
according 10 the spirit and intent of
its trainers. but in a way TO subserve
our best moral interests so far as this
can be done under license law. II
is to be hoped that license commits
sioners everywhere in the state will
recognize their responsibility in the
same positive way. 1t was the pur-
pose Of those who framed the license
law to formulate a measure which
should make it possible to control and
restrict the sale of liquor in a firm
and absolute way. The only wise
course of ocal-optionists-the only
salvation for the law-will be for its
friends TO enforce it in this spirit
And in doing this they ought to have
the hearty and outspoken support OF
all prohibitionists; then if the law
does not approve itself to the people
they will take the remedy into their
own hands, The primary trouble with
the prohibitory law-the real cause OF
its overthrow-was that it was not en-
forced. The Brattleboro commission
ers have begun right, and public sen
timent will sustain them in hewing to
the line.

The End Of the Coal Strike.

The report of the coal strike com
mission is hailed as a great victory
for the miners. II does give them
advanced wages and reduced hours,
but the pivotal point of the recogni-
tion of the United Mine Workers of
America. on which the entire struggle
turned, is rejected. In addition the
commission criticises the present con
sttuton of the United Mine Workers.
condemns certain features of the union
policy and declares in effect that until
the abuses have been reformed the
organization does not deserve to be
recognized.
The coercion Of nOn-unionists and
the use Of the boycott are denounced
in no uncertain terms The defend
ers of such tactics are warned that
not until the persecution of non-union
men ceases will the unions secure
that firm and constant sympathy of
the public which their general pur-
pose seems to demand" Concerning
the boycott as employed in the strike
against AIt ltIdllNtS vi UllutIS WHO re-
mained at work. the commission Wig
orously observes: The practice which
we are condemning would be outside
the pale of civilized war. In civil
lied warfare women and children and
the defenceless are safe from attack.
and code of honor controls the par
ties to such warfare which cries out
against the boycott we have in view.
Cruel and cowardly are terms not too
severe by which to characterize it."
The commission has wisely extend
ed the scope of its recommendations
to include not only an adjustment of
the immediate matters in controversy
between the mineworkers and the op-
orators, but suggestion of methods
Of preventing the future recurrence of
strikes To this end a permanent
board of Cancellation in the anthracite
region is recommended II is further
recommended that the state and fed
eral governments provide machinery
for the compulsory investigation" of
labor disputes. The plan of "compul-
sorry arbitration" is disapproved by

The embargo on wool has ben
raised in all the New England states
except Massachusetts as the United
States inspectors believe the danger
from the foot and mouth disease is
over. The Vermont clip was releas-
ed last week. placing about 400, 900
pounds on the market.
Our exports to South Africa have
increased in ten years from $4,000. 900
to $4,000 900, while the growth at
the same time in South America has
been from $33 100000 to $4,000 900.
The South African countries are max
ing great progress and in the past
year the total importations into Natal
amounted to s70,00OOO and into Cape
Colony to $17O,OOO,OOO.
The repeal of the war taxes was ex-
pected to reduce the income of the
government at least $75,000000
year, but in the eight months Just
ended the decrease was only $2S, ,O00,-
600. There has been a decided in
crease in the consumption of domes-
tic products on which an internal rev.
enue tax is collected, and the treas
ury experts now believe that the re-
ceipts from this source will amount
within year to as much as was col
lected when the war tax was in force.
Our commerce. both with exports
and imports, continues to grow by
leaps and bounds The imports for
the fiscal year 1903, may exceed ST.
OOO,O0O,OOO while the exports are like
ly to go higher than $1.400.O 900 900.
The export trade for February was
s125, SOP, 105, or more than $4,000. 900
larger than for any other February
and twice the volume of ten years
ago. The large export figures now
are accounted for in part by the en-
trance of the new corn crop into the
markets of the world, while last year
comparatively little corn was avail
able for export purposes.

The Intemperate Temperance Ex
horter

Living pictures of triumphant poiti-
cal inhdelity can now be seen in Yer
mont and New Hampshire Officers
sworn to enforce the law have so long
nullihed it that their persistent perhdy
has persuaded many good men to think
that the only practical way to handle
lawbreakers is to license them. When
there has been an honest effort to en-
force the law IL has been a success. But
dishonest efforts have encouraged the
lawess and discourage the good citizen,
who is busy with the bread and butter
problem. until now We see dishonesty
triumphant. and the outlaw in Yer
mont for fifty years is invited into the
halls of legislation where alleged
good men will plan for his protection and
will arrange to get a share of his plum
der.
1T is a matter Of greater concern than
all the money in the rum business that
the constitution of a state can be set at
naught by taithless officials and then
this political nfdelity be rewarded by
laws framed TO suit the awless To
legalize crime is bad but to be driven to
II by infides to public trusts is worse

Charles y. Crane, the pastor.
Here is the Incorporate temperance
eXhorter again. Mr. Crane means
well enough but he is a zealot who

officials in generalities and it will be
impossible to answer him. Just how
much he knows about corruption
among Officers sworn to enforce the
law" in Vermont we know not, but it
would be better form for the reverend
gentleman to specify a few cases of
derelictiOn to duty rather than to
make his sweeping charge. which
simply blackens the good, bad and in
different.
The Phoenix has been steadfast and
answering in it's support of prohibi-
ton, but in bowling cheerfully to the
will of the majority it will not allow a
parson in Boston TO talk about legaliz-
ing crime in this state without raising
a protest. Vermont has not licensed
burglary. incendarism or murder
Selling liquor is not an ennobling
art. We never knew liquor seller
to claim that he was in the business
as an expression of his great love for
humanity, or that he was trying to
lead men to purer and better lives
But if Mr. Crane will sit down quietly
in solitude and commune with his in
ner self he will see that there is a
wide distinction between liquor sell
ing under legal restrictions and house
burning and throat cutting. If he is
perfectly fair he will admit that in
striving for effect he juggled with as
pensions.

FRIDAY. MARCH 27. 1903.
Some Loose Nuts in the License Ma
chinery.

a variety of loose nuts and bent
rods is found in the attempt to put
the legal license machine in running
order.
Some of the deep thinkers raise the
question of the constitutionality of the
law. They argue that the new liq-
uor law recognizes liquor as property,
that the right to acquire. possess and
protect property is one of the funda-
mental principles of the declaration
of rights in the constitution. and that
this right is denied, as there is abso-
lutely no provision for selling liquor
between March and such time as IL
censes may be granted If their rea-
soning is correct anybody can sell liq-
uor with impunity at the present time.
The technicality is a pretty fine one
and the man who sells liquor will be
pretty sure to find himself mulcted at
least $500 If the vigiant states attor.
ney detects him.

The Burlington commissioners are
wrestling with the question of grant
ing second class licenses to druggists.
There have been but few applications
in Burlington for licenses of the fifth
class. for selling liquor by drug stores
for purely medicinal purposes. most
of the druggists wanting the second
class license. which will allow them
to sell liquor by the bottle not to be
drunk on the premises The commits
sioners were in quandary as to
whether they could legally grant the
druggists any other than the fifth
class license. The city attorney is
of the opinion that the druggists can
have second class licenses Sena-
tor Russell. who assisted in framing
the law in the legislature. is opposed
TO this view and says that it was the
intent Of the legislative committee
that the druggists should have spec
ial license TO sell liquor for medicinal
purposes only.

NJ. F. Skinner. of the brokerage firm of
NJ. +, Skinner & Company of Boston, is
wanted because of the discovery that
coupon notes purporting to be issued by
one or more towns have been prepared

tain that Easthampton town notes have
been issued in this way, and there are
circumstances which indicate that sim

have been issued in the same way. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 to $4,000 fraudu-
