Railroad Rates.

The merchants of Burlington are troubled
at the rise in railroad frcights. The rates
have risen fifty per cent But they can have
consolation in the fact that they are not
yet SO high as Montpelier aud neighboring
towns have always paid, and, probably not
so high as they will be- The other towns
along the railroad lines will now stand nearly
on equality with the Queen city, which is as
it should be- Nor was it to be expected,
when the Central leased the Rutland road,
that it would still keep up the competition
which has been injurious to both roads, and
which was source Of complaint to all the
other towns. One apparent reason, which
alone would Justify the Central in leasing
the Rutland, was to destroy this disastrous
competition. 1t is not high rates that injure
communities it is unequal rates. Burling-
ton will stand on equality now with the rest
of us, with the exception that she can COM
mand competing rates in the summer by wa
ter. The Central is right, it seems to us, il
giving more uniform tariff In this way il
will more wisely and successfully develop the
business Of the country, as well as increase
its own receipts.
Heretofore the towns along the line hay,
had to pay higher rates in order to make u
for the losses at the competing points. Blu
now that this competition is done away tn,
rates have been lowered at all stations cxcep
at the terminal points. There they hay
been raised slightly. The necessity was alb
soute for the old course. But the fairness ant
justice Of the present arrangement Of thu
tariff must commend itself to all sensible
men, and it shows too that the managers o
the Central are conducting their trust anC
extending their lines with due regard to tn,
interests and welfare of the public.
The interests of Central Vermont are it
perfect harmony with the interests of thu
Central road, and just as far and fast as tn,
latter has been able to do so, it has been i'm
partial in its treatment Of all our Vernon
communities. We have never complained
that Burlington has had the advantage oyel
Montpelier in rates of freight. 1t was not tn,
fault Of the Central, nor the fault of Burling
lington. 1t was the advantage of her posi-
ton But now that she is on the line ant
not at the end of it,-not a competing point -
it is but manifest justice aud wisdom to dc
as the Central has done, lower its freights OF
the line aud raise them at Burlington. Civ,
us uniform rates. and we shall all gain, anc
none will lose.

Rich men who set up savings banks, get
poor people to put their money in and then
fail, are the meanest as well as the worst men
we have. By the side Of them, the Twesds
and Connollys are gentlemen. Yet this bust
ness of ensnaring the poor, and cheating them
out Of their all, is a regular business in New
York city aud has been for years.
One of the petty German States avows
its practice of banishing its convicts to the
United States of America. There is no treaty
to prevent such outrages. Aud after a protest
against them by our Government, it would be
well to try more urgent remedies. The prac-
ticc is worse than declaration of war it is
sending enemies secretly TO despoi us at home.
The London Eoonomist--the best finan-
eial authority in England says that the dis,

of the Alabama difficulty have had di,as.
trous influence upon British securities, which
during the month have been deprecated to
the eKlent of millions. Indeed, it is asserted
that the loss growing out of this depreciation
is as much as England expected to pay AmeTi-
ca in the form of damages. Perhaps our
British cousins will learn that it is cheaper

Mrs Hooker has Just issued her procama-

to wit the slavery question, and that they

which they believe will be woman suffrage.
She thinks that the Republicans cannot be re-

crown Of justice and equality, and that, there.
fore, all lovers of justice aud truth should
unite in securing the dissolution Of the rad

the hope Of the future. The reason Of her
preference is that seven out Of sixteen Of the
Committee on Resolutions in the State Dem
ocratic Convention Of Connecticut. favored
the adoption Of resolution declaring "that
as taxation withou, representation is gross
injustice, and contrary to the principles Of a
republican government we see no reason
why women should not be given the privilege
of the ballot, or relieved Of the burdens Of
taxation" The resolution, not having ma
jorty Of the committee, was, Of course not
submitted to the Convention; but she believes
so strong is her faith that if it had been, il
would have been passed by handsome ma
jority.

The indisposltion to work as long as food is
furnished is universal. The Tribune says
At least 1000 houses are supplied with food
in which three times that number Of men aud
women, capable Of doing work, are boarders.
Women, who have heretofore earned good
and comfortable living as domestic servants
prefer the idleness, with the gayety and hos
pitality Of lodging houses, where the food is
furnished by this fund. The society has
thrown 800 of the poor and disabled upon the

The New York Citizen Congressman
Roosevelt's paper says that "the extraya-

monstrous ugliness and uselessness of their
present style Of costume. The ideas Of grace,
artistic effects, utility, convenience, harmony,
are unknown, aud dull dead-leyel Of ugli-
ness is the result, stupid ugliness too, unre-
lieyed even by CLEAN Of grotesqueness or a
pardonable streak of audacity." Strange to
say, the editor has not been assassinated for

Chicago is already nagging St. Louis

shipping southern flour for it, is also being

1.-THE great Tiehborne trial has come to
sudden aud ignobe, but not entirely uneT.
pected conclusion. The counsel for the claim.
ant announced, Wednesday, that he bad aban.
doned the case, and on motion Of the counsel
for the defense the pretended Sir Roger
Tichborne, really Arthur Orion, an ignorant
Australian butcher, was arrested for perjury
and put in Jail in lack of 100000 bonds
This case is one Of the most remarkable in
the history of jurisprudence. The giving uF
of his claim by the pretender will involve
many other persons who have been more OF
less thoroughly convinced that he was what
he claimed to be, and Tichborne bonds
are likely to be quoted hereafter about on 1
par with the confederate eotton-loan.

" During the preliminary trial Of Stokes,
in New York, frequent mysterious references
have been made to the case Of Mr.. Dorman
b. Eaton. He, it will be remembered was
one Of the most dangerous opponents Of the
Erie ring when it was first formed, and was,
when most troublesome to it, suddenly rem
dered powerless, though not killed outright,
by being knocked in the head, one night, Just
at the entrance to his own house, by an un-
known assassin He was counsel for the Erie
Company before the Gould. Fisk regime but
retired the moment that began, notwithstand-
ing the most tempting and dazzling offers to
remain, and boldly pronounced against it.
His departure occasioned considerable uneasi-
ness, as he knew more Of the affairs aud the
secrets of the Erie concern than almost any
and the fact that every effort of the ring to
control him had failed, led many people to
charge his attempted murder directly to the
Erie ring Aud it is this charge which no
one seemed at the time able to satisfactorily
sustain, that the counsel for Stokes boast that
they will prove beyond the shadow Of a
doubt. They say that the assalant Of Dor
man b. Eaton was hireling Of Fisk, Jrn
aud they further assert, that they can prove,
that similar hirelings were DIGGING the steps
Of poor Stokes to murder him.
