A ministerial union that will organize
strike" against one particular form
of Sabbath dissertation will have univer-
sal support. 1t is the Sunday funeral
that should be discountenanced, discour-
aged and demolished. The Sabbath is the
one day OF the week when the preacher
is worked to his physical limit and yet
1t often happens that In addition to
three or four regular services he is called
upon to attend two or three funerals.
The chances are more than even that the
central figure of these funerals, namely,
the lamented deceased, is a person who
never darkened the door Of the church
nor contributed a penny to its support.
Such people never have occasion to use
the preacher except at their grave. They
ought to be considerate enough to call
for his help some other day than the
Sabbath, when he must work the hardest.
We are glad to learn that in Indiana q
large ministerial association has unani-
mously passed resolutions against Sun
day funerals, and will decline to officiate
at such. They claim there is no legiti-
mate demand for holding obsequies on
the Sabbath, and that they greatly in
convenience them in their other pastoral

The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy submits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow; set the wild echoes
flying;
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dy-
ing, dying
Oh bark, oh hear! how thin and clear.
And thinner, clearer, further going!
o sweet and far from cliff and scar
The horns of Elfiand family blowing!
Blow! let us hear the purple glens re-
plying;
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dy-

o love, they die in yon rich sky;
They faint on hill or field or river;
Our echoes roll from soul to SOUL
And grow forever and forever.
Blow, bugle, blow! set the wild echoes
flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dy-
ing, dying!

Attitude Of the Candidates toward TAX
payers.
Huntington Clipper

One Of the most important planixs in
each platform deals with taxation and
in each instance relief for the burdened
taxpayer is foreshadowed. Both OF these
candidates have been in the legislature
and 1t is fair to gauge their future course
by what they did when they had a
chance to vote to relieve the individual
taxpayer.
When the question Of increasing cor
poration taxes was involved Fletcher d.
Proctor voted for a bill relieving the in
dividual taxpayers. and they now pay no
direct tax for state expenses.
When a similar bill was presented
for Percival w. Clements consideration
az a legislator he voted to relieve the
corporations from further taxation and
to make the individual taxpayers con-
tinue to pay more than their share of
the burden Of taxation.
Which of these two candidates will
the taxpayers of Vermont the more read
fly trust to carry out further measures
OF relief In the matter of taxation? The
one who favored them when he could
make his action count, or the one who
voted against them but now appeals for
another chance to show what he may
do in return for their votes?
Fletcher d. Proctor has shown by his
acts as well as by his words that he can
be trusted to champion the interests of
the taxpayers.

MT. eRErNA A GOOD SCHOOL.
Company Boys In Good condlton-Ex-
peet to Arrive Home Monday Afternoon.


pect to Arrive Home Monday Afternoon.
Camp Roosevelt, Mt. Gretna, Pa,
Tuesday Afternoon, Aug, Z.
We were scheduled to leave Brattleboro
at 2.25 Saturday but were so minutes late
We were due at Albany at Z, but did not
arrive until H. Then we boarded the Dean
of Richmond one of the fastest and old
est boats on the river 1t having been in
commission 80 years. We had good ac-
commodations About 30 miles down the
river we encountered a dense fog and
anchored until 100 We were more than
paid for the wait from the fact that our
trip down the Hudson was by daylight.
we arrived in New York at and took
ferry for Jersey City at s. The toughest
proposition we ran up against during the
trip was the wait in Jersey City depot.
The heat was intense and we did not get
started until 1890. We went some after
we got started, making the 1856 miles In 6
hours, 80 miles of the distance being COW
cred in 1 hour and 20 minutes. We arrived
in camp at $50 and went to work. There
was very little drilling done yesterday,
but bright and early this morning the
regiment were instructed in extended or
der in brigade formation. The several
companies were divided in two and their
officers were taken by the regulars. Only
two men fell out and they were regulars.
Every man of Company l came in alive
although the drill included an eight mile
hike. In the forenoon instructions were
given in practical engineering and breast
work construction. The drill was under
Lieut.. U. S. Grant, grandson of the
famous general of that name The regi-
ment put up the stakes and constructed
two sides of the breastworks complete.
The officers stated that no other state
regiment here had yet done but half this
amount of work in the same length of
time. In fact. all of the regular army
officers have spoken very highly of the
appearance and conduct of the First
Vermont regiment Our boys are easily
sharing honors with the West Virginia
regiments. Thhre was lots of kicking
about the Boston & Maine railroad not
furnishing water on the cars. We were
used we'll on the boat and on the Penn
sylvania road. The water here Is very
bad, and even that from the best spring
on the grounds must be boiled. No band
here has given better satisfaction than
the First Regiment band, and their con-
certs attract the attention of 5000 men in
camp.
WIN break camp Sunday. and arrive
home Monday, but the time is profile
NAUTICAL.

When In Disgrace.

When in disgrace with fortune and mems
eyes,
all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my boot
less cries,
And look upon myself and curse my
fate.
Wishing me like to one more rich in
hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends
possessed,
Desiring this mans art, and that mans
scope,
With what most enjoy contented
least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost
despising,
HAPPY I think on thee, and then my
state,
Like to the lark at break Of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at
heavens gate:
For thy sweet love remembered such
wealth brings
That then / scorn TO change my state
with kings.

The Philadelphia Ledger, which has a
special correspondent at Mt Gretna. said
Tuesday: 1.-The First Regiment Vermont
infantry erected its tents and settled
down to the prepared lessons" this
morning. In appearance many of the
physical attributes of the West Virgin
ians are those of the Green Mountain boys.
All comport themselves with a certain
dignity which contrasts wildly with the
loose, careless and indifference to dis
cipline observed by the District Of Col
umbia troops, whom the West Virginians
and Vermonters replace" The Vermont
regiment is a part of the Third Brigade,
in command of Col. L. G. Allen, Twelfth
Infantry, u. S. A.
Two squads of men and a sergeant
from the regulars are assigned to each
militia company, which,, in return sends
a similar complement from its ranks to
the exchanging company OF regulars.
Commissaries and quartermasters will be
instructed in army cooking and baking
and the proper drawing of rations. Lee
lures will be delivered nightly in the
great tent set aside for this purpose.
In speaking of the West Virginians, to
whom the Vermonters are compared, the
Ledger said: "That they are regarded as
such exceptionally good soldiers is not to
be wondered at when 1t is taken into
consideration that more than 10 per cent.
of the first and second regiments, West
Virginia Infantry, saw active service in
the Spanish american war. Ninety-f1ve
per cent. OF their officers were engaged in
that brief but sanguinary struggle. and
so per cent. of these bearers OF Uncle
Sans commission have been soldiers
more than 10 years The attitude of the
West Virginians is most encouraging,
remarked one Of the instructors, and
augurs well for the success Of Camp
Roosevelt Their conduct and serious
ness of purpose is a fine example for
other militia troops yet to come, and is
the entering wedge in spreading the fact
that this is a place to work and acquire
military acknowledgement a playground"
