Active Patriotism.

Grover Cleveland, in the April 9Th
number of The North American Review,
utters stirring words on the subject Of
active patriotism. There is. i'll my
mind, sober conviction" he says in the
article entitled Patriotism and Holiday
Observance, that we all can and
ought to do more for the country that
lives in us than it has been our habit to
do" He urges "a revival of pure
patriotic affection for our country for its
own sake" and the acceptance of Wash
ingtons especial virtues: harmony
honesty, industry and frugality." In the
course of the article, he observes:
"If we find that the wickedness of de-
structive agitators and the selfish deprav-
ity of demagogues have stirred up discon-
tent and strife where there should be
peace and harmony, and have arrayed
against each other interests which should
dwell together in hearty cooperation; il
we find that the old standards of sturdy,
uncompromising American honesty have
become so corroded and weakened by a
sordid atmosphere that our people are
hardly startled by crime in high places
and shameful betrayals of trust every
where; if we find sadly prevalent dis
position among us to urntrom the high
way of honorable industry into shorter
crossroads leading to irresponsible and
worthless ease; if we find that wide
spread wastefulness and extravaganza
have discredited the wholesome frugalty
which was once the pride of Americanisnl,
we should recall Washingtons admoni-
ton that harmony, industry and trugaii,
ty are essential pillars of public felicity,
and forthwith endeavor to change our
course.
ITO neglect this is not only to neglect
the admonition of Washington, but to
miss or neglect the conditions which our
determination has made plain to us
These conditions demand something
more from us than warmth and zest II
the tribute we pay to Washington, ano
something more even than acceptance o
his teachings-however reverent oul
acceptance may be-"

Rich Women Make Dirt Fly.


AS an object lesson to dilatory high
way commissioners the women of Ven
Ice. Cal. recently turned out with picks
and shovels and smoothed the wrinkles
ont of WASHINGTON boulevard In the
army of r0admakers were the wives
and daughters of millionaires. Dirt
began to fly early in the day, and holes
which have been the bane of travellers
along the th0roughfare were filled and
given a hi@h finish At noon lunch was
served under the trees at the roadside.
Auto parties which passed along the
road cheered the women shovelers.

comments on Capt. Griswold's Gift.

Some of the veterans of the civil war.
who have not applied for pension for
various reasons, now that the govern
ment has granted service pension to
all the survivors of that great conflict,
are at their wit S ends to know what to
do with it. Former Commissioner of
Pensions, Eugene Ware, who watched
the applicants for pensions with an eagle
eve while in office, and who had con-
spicuouslv framed motto over his desk
announcing that God Hates Liar" has
decided to bestow his pension upon a
child of soldier, and will so transfer it.
But the most unique disposition of the
service pension we have noted is that of
Capt. E. F. Griswold. of ST. Johnsbury,
who has devoted his to X. E. Lee camp
ofcontederate soldiers at Richmond, Va,
for an inmate of a soldier home "in
recognition of kindness shown me while
a prisoner. 1t may be surprise to
most people, even 40 years after the war,
that anybody received kindness in
Libby prison. We have been led to be-
lieve that kindness was one of the
qualities conspicuous by its absence
within those walls. But the St. Johns
bury veteran ought to know what his
experience was and his gift of Uncle Sans
money to help support an ex-rebel shows
that his gratitude is real, and has
foundation in fact The incident at any
rate serves to illustrate the truth that
the war is. over, and that men are more
and more coming to realize that there
is no North, no South, but one country.
i Rutland Herald.
Among the comments of the Southern
press this one from the Petersburg, Va,
index-Appeal is fair sample of the way
the South look at the gift:
We are glad that X. f. Lee camp has
accepted this offer, not so much on
account of the money itself, which is no
inconsiderable item, but for the evil
dence of the reciprocal good will which
the acceptance conveys. Northern men
like Capt. Griswold Jim Anderson and
others we might mention are doing much
to counterfeit the feeling of sectional
bitterness and acrimony engendered by
the politicians of both sections, and they
are Fastening the time when the passions
and prejudices of the war will be for
gotten, and there will be a complete
restoration ofgood feeling.

ward to something new nevertheless.
The very latest in heating devices are
the baby milk warmer, combination
shaving mug and water heater. and the
corn pepper.
The new type of electrical automobile
does not depend upon storage battery
for power. A small gasoline engine
drives generator, which in turn sup
plies the electricity for the motors. The
new device simplihes the control and
improves the service.
Frozen water pipes are now thawed by
electricity.
The steam turbine is revolutionizing
steam power and cheapening the cost OF
electricity
An electrical apparatus for milking
cows has been invented.
Shoes can now be shined by electrical
power the carpet can be cleaned by the
same force. An electrical device for wind
ing large town clocks has also been
placed on the market.
The largest transformers in the the
world were made for the Great Northern
Power Company at Duluth, by the Gen
eral Electric Company. Three units of
10000 horsepower each have been in
stalled and five Others are to be con-
structed.
Many thousand dollars worth of dia-
monds and sapphires are used every year
for bearings in electric house meters.

Praise for Conductor Ranney.

The Burlington Clipper has deserved
praise for Conductor Ranney's fidelity
to duty at the recent Hardwick wreck
which all his friends here and elsewhere
will heartily endorse:
Conductor Charley" Ranney of the
St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain rail-
road is certainly the right stuff.
In the recent accident at Hardwick he
was so severely hurt that at first it was
thought he could not recover, but he
forced the rescuers to take all the
other injured people out of the car first,
insisting that he himself be the last
person taken out.
1t comes like breath of fresh air in a
sick room, this instance of manly grit
and fidelity to duty, Immediately follow
ing the illustration of human degeneracy
afforded by the Thaw trial.
The attention of the world hasn't been
turned to Conductor Ranney. Indeed,
up-to-date, he has had only two lines in
a local newspaper, in long report of the
accident. But, don't the Whites and the
Thaws, on whom the attention of the
whole world has been concentrated for
months, look small beside him?
Here's to Charley" Ranney May he
live long and prosper

POst=Office for PaIisade.

"The Palisadian" suggests a series of
lawn tennis matches for the champion
ship of Palisade, and trusts that arrange
ments may be made that will bring out
the skill of the community. The Holm
ger court. one of the best to be found,
almost perfect in many respects, has
been generously offered for the tourna-
ment To the end that dash of real in
terest may be given the affair, prizes of
good value will be offered, and the
event will take place early in September,
if the present plans do not miscarry.
Everything of this kind lends an added
interest to Palisade, and it is to be hoped
that the enthusiasm in such healthful
sports may be kept up.
