Comparisons are ofttimes as vivid
illustrations of truth as a political
cartoon. In South Carolina an infuen-
tial politician can shoot down in cold
blood an unarmed man, who had time
to simply call his assassin a coward, and
a jury of his peers say that he is not
guilty of murder. Those words, "his
peers" are probably well placed.
In New Hampshire United States
Senator is fined for the shooting of a
wild animal in the close season, although
he was ignorant of the law.
In the latter case Justice claimed an
equivalent. In the former case Justice
is bound and bloody tragedy is de-
clared to be only comedy for the
amusement of a debauched citizenship.
Hereafter prize fights, cock fights, and
bull fights should be publicly provided
for the people of South Carolina as
usual Sunday entertainment. With
them religion without blood would be
misunderstood, and ethics should be
forbidden in leading society.

Gained Forty Pounds in Thirty Days

gained forty pounds in flesh. He is now
fully recovered. We have good trade

Money Well Bequeathed,

Silas Griffith of Dandy, VT, who has
died and left a will has shown that he
knew what to do with his money.
First, he left the town library and
gave it lot and then out Carnegied
Carnegie by leaving money enough for
its maintenance and care. Then he left
money enough to care forever for the
town cemetery including house ada
cent for care taker. Having looked
after the library and cemetery, his next
thought was for the Congregational
church there. So he left money enough
to pay the minister's salary, to heat,
light, paint and repair the structure to
supply the choir with music and the
Sunday school with books. ---.
Having looked after the library, the
cemetery and the church, he left suffi-
cient sum to improve the public schools
and bring them up to modern require
ments. The money will give them nice
Fairgrounds, better ventilation and san.
itation, and good libraries. Having
looked after the library, the cemetery,
the church and the schools, his next
thought was how to make the children
happy. To do this he chose the role of
perpetual Saint Nicholas and left
money enough to have Christmas tree
every year loaded with gifts for the lit
tie ones and that no one of them should
be caught in the plight of the guest who
had not wedding garment he left
sufficient sum to give clothes, shoes and
other needed articles to all the poor
children at Christmas time. Having
done all this, and seeing nothing more
to do, 1t is to be presumed Silas Griffith |

1t is said OF John Wesley that he once

ANGLES LETTER.
Our CITY.

No ambition could be so generally
beneficial as the desire which animates
our leading business men, who are ex-
erting all the means at their command
to develop to the utmost the possibilities
in the thriving little city,-our home.
These public spirited men, by raising
industrial and otherwise beneficial insti-
buttons, have through up-to-date methods
made Island Pond known as a progress
sive business center; thus gaining the
attention and consideration of the con-
trolling officials of the Grand Trunk
Railway System, who have shown their
appreciation OF such enterprise by con-
ferring the inestimable advantage of CO.
operation in the furtherance of a great
scheme-the raising of a city in the val.
ley which sixty years was but hamlet
The results of this cooperation, besides
greatly increasing the value of property,
and stimulating industry, will in all
probability attract capitalists many OF
whom-if we are correctly informed by
reading-are seeking just such situations
where they can pursue their avocations,
to the mutual satisfaction of themselves
and employees, undeterred by the infu-
ence OF that greatest of despots-the lat
ter day walking delegate.
The first subjects of inquiry by those
seeking a site are the prime necessities,
light and water. Inquirers will be in.
formed, that as the result of strenuo us
efforts and large expenditure of money,
We have now powerful force of the
purest water in the state. Our electric
light system, through the expenditure OF
over ninety-fve thousand dollars, and a
corresponding amount of "grit" in spite
of accidents and other disheartening cir
cumstances, now affords thoroughly
satisfactory service. 1t is needless to say
that unless more extended patronage
is afforded it will be many years before
the balance will be on the profit side of
the ledger. The probabilities were esti-
mated before undertaking the project so
the effort will be regarded as an earnest
of the high purpose of the promoters.
The prospects are indeed most promis-
ing. Nature affords great incentive
in our magnificent surroundings, and
we have the right kind of people who
believe that patriotism is best evinced
by the advancement of the home city,
thus adding to the Importance of the
state, already noted for its high moral
tone.
Considering that such grand results
have been achieved in a few years, we
may live to see the realization of the
among which may be
reckoned, customs house, public IL
brary, an electric line to Newport, a
steamer that will convey us to the Is.
land, where casino, pleasure gardens,
band, and ball field, will afford our peo-
pie that most healthful of all recreation
a days outing.
All that is necessary to realization is
mutual encouragement. A determine.
ton to give the home town the exclusive
benefit of means gained within her
and we shall live to see our
'terraced city" noted as one of the first
and most beautiful in the state-a mon
ument to the character of her people.

"Chestnuts" need not be applied to
any suggestions or criticism or COM
mendations Or advice or inquiry relating
to the present license-prohibition situa-
ton. With the interests of every home
involved it is the great question now
before this people and must be subjected
to honest critical analysis from every
possible side. Such is the proper bust
ness OF the press, the pulpit, the plat
form and the home circle. If the new
law in its practical operation cannot
hold up its head to the clear sunlight of
a close inspection, then have the prophe-
cies of its promoters proven to be will
o-the-wisps, and it must fall into the
grave digged by its own hand.

Justice loses its dignity and its power
when executives and courts get weak
kneed; crime becomes more open and
prevalent when officers get negligent of
duty, juries subject to bribes Or threats,
or careless of the rights of the common
wealth and its good name; and execu-
tives too tender hearted. We are glad
to know that juries, officers and Judges
in our state are alive to the rights of
the law abiding, as well as jealous to
protect the criminal in his constitutional
rights.
