more great, loved and glorious than ever
more honored in their histories and
characters. The latter day officers are
mostly rcmein bcred as We remember Cap
tain Kidd, Sixteen String Jack; Dick
Turpin, Ben. Butler aad other celebrated
thieves of ancient and modern times
There are y few honorable exceptions, but
alas, TOO few to save our reputa ton in a
national point of view.
There are at home, wrecks Of their for
mer selves, honest officers who never stole
from a defcnceless foe, nor forsook the
faith of their fathers for gain or insignia Of
Office; but they are the exceptions which
make the rule
And while it is SO, still let the work
Of conversion 60 steadily on. Democracy
is again on the ascendency. The star OF
hope has again arisen i'll the east, We
have statesman for q President. We
have a man of broad views, of clear brain,
Of Union loving sentiments, of nerve; q
man who is friend Of law, the people
and the Constitution. The days Of low
wit, bufoonery. story telling, tyranny
usurpations, military dcspotism and intoler-
ant prescriptions arc passed forever for
the people of America will have no such
suicidal, murderous foolishncss. The
lessons Of the past have been too dear for
us all. And now is the time to think Of
these things-to figure up which cost the
country the most, Democracy and peace
or Republicanism and ruin, war robbery
and desolation Look at the record and
see for yourselves, brother workingman d
! America.

A WESTERN WONDER.

Tho greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa and perhaps any other State, is
what they call the "Wallcd Lake, "
located in Weight county, twelve miles
north of the DUBUQUE and pacific Rail
Road and about one hundred rnd fifty
miles west of Dubuque City. The wa
ter is from two t. three feet higher than
the carth's surface In most places the
wall is ten feet high, width ut bottom
fifteen feet, and at the top five An
other fact is the size Of the stone, used
in its construction the whole is OF stone,
varying in weight from three tons down
70 one hundred pounds There is an
abundance of stone in Weight county !;
but surrounding the lake to the extent
Of FIVE and ten miles there are none
No one can form an idea as to the means
employed to bring them to the spot, or
who constructed it. Around the entire
lake is belt of woodland, halt a mile
in width, composed of oak with this eX
ception, the country Is rolling prairie.
The trees, therefore. must have been
placed there at the time of bnilding the
vail. In the spring Of 1896 there vas
a great storm. and the ice on the lake
broke the wall in several places. The
farmers in that vicinity were obliged to
repsir the damages to prevent nunda-
tion The lake occupies ground sur
face of 900 acres, depth Of water as
great as twenty-five feet. The water is
clear and cold, soil sandy. It is singu-
lar that no one has been able to ascer-
tain where the water comes ircm, and
where it goes to, yet 1t always remains
clear and fresh.

music is entitled the Song of the Fairies"
composed by Miss w. V. j. Demorest, a
daughter, we infer of the publisher. 1t
is a charming melody and will be a favor

be interesting to those who, have turned
their attention to keeping pets in water.

good and true men throughout the Union

glorious contamination in the firm estab-
lishment of those free institutions on which
the happiness and prosperity of nations
depend.
Resolred, That while we regret the APP
parent want Of harmony in Congress as
shown in the past-we hail with pleasure
the evident unity of action again amid the
ranks Of the Great National Republican
Party, as we witness the return OF North
and South, East and West,to basis which
shall never more need recomstyucting.
Resolred, That while we bow with rev.
erent submission to the dispensations Of an
Al-wise Providence in taking fom us
our honored Senators Hon. Jacob Cola.
mer, and Hon. Solomon Foot--we mourn
their untimely death and win cherish their
many virtues in perpetual remembrance.
ReSohed, Believing that the candidates
we have to-day selected are worthy Of our
suffrages, We pledge them our cordial sup
port.
On motion Of Hon. b. d. Harris of
Brattleboro the resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
/ Mr.. j. L. Buuerlield of Grafton moved
to change the basis of future delegate con-
veniions, making it one delegate for every
town and one to every 250 inhabitants, or
fraction thereof
Judge Tyler Of Brattlt boro had doubts
but would not oppose the proposition
There was hardly interest enough to elect
and secure the attendance of those elect
ed on the present basis.
| Mr.. Butterfi-ld replied that by increas.
| ing the number of delegates they would
| increase the interest of the people in the
conventions. He thought there was much
dissatisfaction with the present basis.
i The vote being taken the proposition O
Mr.. Butterlield was adopted, 80 to 16.
On motion of Judge Tyler the conven
ton passed vote OF thanks to the Presi
dent and Secretaries for the able ant
faithful manner with which they perform
ed their duties, and on motion Of Mr.
Bridgman the convention adjourned with
out day. @
The above is hasty report Of the pro
ceedinss of the convention made Tuesda,
evening after arriving home just betor
taking the cars for the State Convention
at Montpelier, and is not quite as perfec
in some particulars as we could wish.

as highly gratified with the excellent fa-
cilties afforded in this institution for the
treatm' Mt of the insane.

Address of MIR. Adams.

On Saturday evening, being after the
Teachers Institute, Mr.. Secretary Adams
delivered to our citizens in the Baptist
Church very strong and able address
on the reasons of SO much emigration
from Vermont, and the industrial and
manufacturing resources Of Vermont if
they were developed. He showed by in
disputable statistics that more grain was
raised to the acre in the east than in the
west, and that the chances for success in
business here were even greater than in
the far west if they were DULY improved.
He then showed the success of manufac-
turing in Massachusetts, and in this con-
nection he made strong point against
what is sometimes called the "grab law"
of Vermont; in other words he compared
the attachment laws Of Vermont and Mas
sachusetts, in which he showed how the
man once loaded down with debts in YER
mont, is kept down by this oppressive
| '""f "hiiS III ne WIS eDa-
bled to start again. This law he said was
| a foul stain on the fair escutcheon of the
Green Mountain State and ought TO be
wiped out. 1t prevented enterprise and
caused many to emigrate who otherwise
would have remained and added value
and wealth TO the State. He showed, too,
how great many kinds and varieties of
raw material are taken from our State to
other places for manufacture, and brought
back again for sale, with all the addition
al expense of freighting, when it might
just as well have been manufactured at
home in the first place.
But we can do no justice in this brief
report to his deeply interesting address.
and we wish sincerely that he would de-
liver it in different parts of the State
Il could not fail to do great good and con-
tribute much toward opening the eyes of
our people on the very important subject
of increasing the industrial and manufac-
turing interests of our State.

IHE NEGROES AND THE FENIAN
CAUsE.-A New York paper, in abiding
to the tender of their services to the Fee
mans by certain colored men, who had
been soldiers in the army, says:
=" We hope that this incident of the
Fenian movement will not be forgotten by
lrishmen. Let them remember that the
true friend is he who offers assistance in
the trying hour. Let them remember
that in that hour the politicians-who pro-
tess so much friendship for Irishmen when
vo'ers airs wanted-were nowhere TO he
found while the c''lored people whom
they had learned to hate, were ready and
eager to aid them, even to the sacrifice of
life.''

WHAT Is MAIL MATTER The clerks
in the New York Post Office had diff
cult subject under consideration last Sat-
urday. A boy brought into the newspa-
per department book to be sent by mail
to Pennsylvania. This book was thin and
large, eighteen inches in width and thirty
inches in length. Its size was such that
it could not be taken into the Post Office
window, and it was doubtful if any of the
mail bags were wide enough TO contain it
But the book was less than four pounds
in weight, and so it seemed to be within
the limit allowed by the Post Office reeu-
lations. The oldest clerk in the newspa-
per department was called to give an opin-
ion as to what should be done; but he
was puzzled, and the subject was then re-
ferred to Superintendent Knapp, who de-
cided that, inasmuch as, according to law.
the book ought to be carried, it must be
received as mail matter, whatever the re-
suit might be. Owners of extensive pack
ages like this, it should be understood
must run unusual risk.
