A MUNICIPAL PAGEANT.

Five hundred townspeople OF NIL
ton, Massachusetts,. are rehearsing~ in
five sections in the cast OF their his.
torical pageant which takes place mex
week There are 1--WE episodes to be
represented in these human historical
pictures. The first will deal with the
sons Of the forest" settling tho towr
in Colonial days: the second will de-
pict the ordination feast Of the towns
great minister and leader: the third
will portray a reception in the time OF
an early Governor Of the Colony, who
lived in Milton. and in this episode
group Of prominent Miltonians will
dance the minuet The fourth episode
will show the departure Of Governor
Hutchinson from Milton in 1874, and the
fifth and last will picture the call to
arms at the beginning Of the American
Revolution. The stage will be the
great green common near Milton,
Hutchinson's field. fringed with state
" elms and with the marshes Of the
placed blue Neponset, in the back
ground.
It will be a great public spectacle
which must result in informing the
citizens OF the great scenes In thei'

pageant is patriotic; it re-enacts the
ardors and the vicissitudes Of Ameri-

struggle for liberty and their devotion
and sacrifice when wars red flag

Milton will go away from this solemn

It was caused by a mangled and mutt
Hated Democratic tariff. passed year
after it happened.
There was" resumes the journal OF
Commerce, in the same biting strain
"a gradual recovery under that same
tariff, reaching Its elimination about
the time OF the election OF 1896. That
ia to be attributed to the tariff which
was going to be passed the next year.
Under that. when it was passed, pros

1907. OF course. that was not caused
by the tariff because it was not Demo-
cratic. There was a revision by its
friends before the depression follow
ing the panic was over. which did not
seem to do much good"
Then our contemporary asks: HAS

its continuance depend upon maintain
