MISSION WORK At mono

The pulpit at the Baptist church was
occupied on Sunday morning by Rev.
@. ". Briggs of the Am. Baptist Mis-
sionary Union of New York. In the
evening Mr.. Briggs oificiated in the
Baptist church in Barre. Mr.. Briggs
has been engaged in mission work for
two years in lloilo. island of Panay,
of the Philippines, In oonversing with
a Watchman representative Monday
Mr.. Briggs took a very hopeful view
of the Philippine situation. He said
he believed the Filipinos have many
promising qualities, and are, as a
whole, in sympathy with the present
administration there. Mr. Briggs
work in the Islands has brought him
into close contact with several Ver-
monters, among them, Mason S. Stone,
who is now in the State, and ex-Lieut.
Governor Bates of st. Johnsbury. Mr..
Briggs states that under the leader
ship of Lawyer Bates, the laws, of the
Islands are being moulded after the
Vermont State code, and in all this
work the Vermont statutes are used as
a pattern for the Philippine law.
Mr.. Briggs own special work is
very promising, as the people show a
great willingness to receive Protestant
on years leave of absence, and ex-
poets to return in September. During
the month of August, he will be re-
lieyed from all active work and take
much needed rest at his home in
New York, preparatory to his return
to the Islands.

GRANITE TRO UBLE OV,EK

The trouble between the granite
manufacturers and cutters of Barre
which resulted in lockouts at Barre,
Montpelier, Northfield, West Berlin
and Waterbury, was settled OH Satur-
day and except in Montpelier the men
resumed work on Monday a. M By the
settlement the manufacturers will not
sub-let parts of contracts, but work of
tins class already underway may be
finished. In this city the union was
willing to accept the Barre agreement
but held out over the question of
whether local disputes in the future
would be settled entirely at Barre or
at Montpelier There is local or
ganization Of manufacturers in this
city which was organized with view
to settling minor difficulties without
going to Barre with them The Mont
pelier Union wanted either a complete
alliance or an entire divorce from the
Barre Association and proposed that
the local manufacturers choose one
plan or the other. This was satisfac-
tory to the manufacturers and they
chose to take all grievances to Barre.
The men returned to work at noon on
Monday.

THE POPE STILL LIVES.

Contrary to all expectations the
venerable Roman pontiff, Pope Leo
XIII is still alive. On Wednesday of
last week his death was considered
the matter Of few hours only but
on the following day he rallied some-
what and since thae time his wonder
full vitality has surprised his physic-
ians and the whole world. Wednes-
days dispatches state that the pneu-
monia has almost disappeared but that
the Pope is in state of great pros
tration from which he cannot re-
cover although one physician says
that he may live for week. During
the past week he has had several con-
ferences with cardinals and others and
most OF the time his mind was olea.

REASONS FOR INSURANCE INSURANCE,

Expenses eat up wages and sal
aries. Year after year the aver
age man expects to build up an
estate. The usual result is no
provision or only a small one for
wife and children. Life Insur-
ance does the work by easy pay
ments.

THE CITY ELECTION.

A little more than six weeks
and we will elect a majority of
the city council.
The Enterprise naturally feels
a deep interest in this matter.
The annual election is of para
mount Importance to every
business man and tax payer.
We do not have to state where
we stand on the question of taxa
Pu0lfc money, and as we see it
that is the only issue at pre-
sent.
The limitations under the new
law is of course a great protection
but we are anxious to see it dem
onstrated that the limit is not too
low. We do not believe that it is
necessary to levy the full 1aG
rate or assess the full value of
real estate to raise sufficient
money to operate the city govern
ment.
On this question there seems
to be a difference, (not a radical
difference however, between our
opinion and that of the present
representatives, of the several
wards. We voted and worked
tor their election, believing that
we were supporting the best
men mentioned for the several
offices. We do not know whether
any member whose term expir-
es next mounth will stand for
reelection or not. What we
write here is entirely impersonal
and literally unsel6sh. Intended
merely to call attention to the
approach of the day for selecting
a new majority of the city
council.
There is one great difficulty
that always interferes with the
survival of the fittest in matters
political and that is the selfish
interest of individual aspirants
and we are expecting that very
complication this time.

Unfortunately for the demo-
cratic party a very large number
OF democrats made damphules of
themselves during the two Bryan
campaigns. Many selfish dema-
gogues took advantage of the free
silver craze that then had pos

result that thousands of demo-
Gratis sincere and insincere, some
deluded and others deluding,
became so thoroughly committed
tHeh now after the fullest evil
dence of it's fallacy and the

sound money was the only saliva
ton for the demoralized business
conditions at the close Of Cleve-
lands last administration,
are unwilling to admit their
error or to credit the advocates
OF sound money, from Mr.. Cleve-
land down with being right. 1t
appears now that many of them
are willing and actually prefer
to face another national defeat
at the polls than acknowledge the
mistakes of four andeight years
ago. True there are MANY
honest men in the party who
sincerely believed that free silver
was the only salvation of the
party or the country, who are
willing now to admit that Cleve-
land was right. But many selfish
demagogues who have attained
high positions by reason of their
advocacy of free silver, SIM
cere or otherwise usually
otherwlse) are so sel6shly OBJ
stinate that it looks now as if
it might be impossible to nom
mate a candidate or enunciate a

national election next year,

HE CAN WIN.

The Dothan Home Journal has
a roundabout way of getting at
1t but succeeds nevertheless. It
says: 1t is true Cleveland would
have third term proposition to
meet, and we are opposed to a
even second term. for Teddie.
In fact we did not want him there
the first time, but how could a
body help it. The thing to do
now is to settle on one man who
can win, let that be. Cleveland,
German, Parker or any one else
so long as he is a true Democrat.
We just must win and win we
will if Grover Cleveland is
nominated Fort Gaines Record.

Finding Owners for Dogs

An assessor down in Bedford coun-
ty has hit on a somewhat novel way
to determine the ownership of dogs
in his township. Since the hunting
season closed he has been studying
tile last assessment relative to own
ers of dogs, and he came to the con
clusion that many persons evaded
the dog tax. In.makingihis visits he
carried a pocket rife, and after
making the usual enquiries as to real
estate, horses and cattle would ask
"Do you own a dog?"
Thecomm0n answer was ono Sir. -

DO you want it assessed?"

The Courts Long Ago Decided They
Could Not Be Retained

Some contention having arisen as
to the righU of county treasurers to
charge commissions on liquor license
money we note some decisions on
the question One by Judge Shay
in schuylkill county filed July 1st,
1901, as follows:
The county treasurer has no right
to charge and retain for the use of
the county a commission on money
received for liquor licenses. The
borough is entitled to receive its
full share with 70 deduction for
commission Schuvlkin Haven
borough VS.. Schuvlknl county, 10th
district reports, page I94.
Money collected by county treas
urer for the use Of borough which
repi esents liquor license, fees must
be paid over by such treasurer to
said borough without any deduction
of fees for services rendered. The
duty is imposed by statute and if
the treasurer makes default he IS
premarily liable to the party to
whom tho money Is due. Kittan
ming borough vs.. Mast, Is Superior

The same question was decided by

vs. Martin no. Pennsylvania 11S, so

therefore that cur county treasurers
have been retaining fees on liquor
