Can any Western farmer tell why he is com
lpelled 10 pay 81 extra for every barrel of salt
that is used in the West for domestic purposes
as well as for packing his beef and pork, Gol
the packer takes the cost of the salt off the
lprice Of the beef and pork while the fisher
man on the Atlantic coast gets his salt duty
free? In point OF fact, the fishermen pay but
80 cents q barrel for salt, which costs the
farmer, living within 100 miles of the Mchi
gan salt works (Which furnish the same salt
to the lshermen) $225 to $3.50 per barrel
The excuse used TO be- that fishing on the
Massachusetts coast should be encouraged
because thereby we Encouraged and multi
piled The number Of those hardy seamen who
are to man our merchant vessels in time OF
peace, and our fighting ships in time of war
What grimace this argument becomes when
viewed side by side with the fact that we
have "protectcd' American shipping out OF
existence We try try to multiply sailors
but give them no ships to navigate. We tax
| bodybuilding materials till it is impossible
| to build ships; and we exempt New England
fishermen from the salt tax to produce a sup
ply Of seamen for the ships which we cannot
build, and are forbidden to buy.
To tell the honest truth, there is no reason
in the world why the Western farmers are
thus robbed and the New England fishermen
are thus favored, except that the republican
party finds it necessary to commit this injus
ticc 10 maintain its political ascendency in
New England, and to keep the peace with
the Buffers, the Wilson's, the Blains, Kellys
Camerons and other head men Of the monster
tariff robber rings.

The danger has increased from year to
wear, as the town and village have grown
in business and population and with the
increase of the amount of freight and
the number of passengers carried by the
railroads The demand has been con-
slant and increasing for the removal OF
the cause of danger. Petition after pc
tition has been presented to successive
boards of selectmen and courts, and we
see no indication that we are approach
inc solution of the difficulty. Within
few weeks, committee, appointed by
the county court, have refused to lay
road, which would obviate the difficulty
and danger at one of these places, but
thought another course might be pur-
sued-they had, however, no power to
act any further than upon the road asked
for. ct is understood the selectmen
would act in the matter, it is said. This
has always been one trouble. 1t has al
WAYS been understood" and has ended
in being understood" So it goes on,
year after year, and one after another is
carried to his home mangled corpse, or
with broken limb, and sit is understood"
that the crossings will be attended to at

suffered to remain in this condition? 1t
will have to be remedied at some time.
Shall there be further loss of life and
limb or shall it be done now?

Seal Fishing.
REMARKABLE STORY

New YORK, May II.
The Herald publishes statement of
James A. King, the only known sur
viyor OF a boats Grew Of five of the
schooner Franklin, Of New London,
which landed in 1871 in Window Island,
one of the South Shetlands, situated south
of Cape Horn, in latitude Ga The men
killed 1000 seals there and went to st.
Georges Island, leaving a record of their
whereabouts behind. The vessel subse-
quently returned from another of the
grounds and landed a boat, discovered
the record, and proceeded to st. Georges,
where getting no response to guns, rock
cts and other signals, and being unable
to send boat ashore on account of
breakers and ice, he was compelled to
abandon the men and proceed home
where their fate was long since report
ed.
The sealer Nile, one of whose men is
now in New York, discovered King late
last year in a small wooden hut on st.
Geoege's Island. One of his companions
had died several months before, while
the others, including the third mate,
Townsend, left two weeks before King
was found, with boat for Window
Island, against his remonstrance. He
helped them launch the boat, but don't
know what became of them. It Is Ger
tain, however, that as a portion of the
boat and sailors coat were found on
the beach near Cape Sheriff, about thir-
ty miles from the hut, where the men
passed the weary year, that they were
drowned in breakers and never reached
Window Island. 1t is reported that the
seals are now almost entirely killed off
from the South Shetland Island.
King told this man that he and his
comrades managed to live on pelican
flesh and some biscuits left behind by a
boats crew, and made clothes out of
seal skins. A hut was built of boards
left by another vessel, as was stove in
which a fire waskept with seal skin and
blubber. The survivors had been with
out fire several days, and was somewhat
benumbed when found

was well enough so far as the organizers,
nromoters and accomplishers of the |
ssback pay scheme were concerned, but
they have attempted, also, to immediate
the innocent with the guilty, which, we
think, was hardly just So great and
intense has been their Indignation, that
they do not, even, know the provisions
of the law they are assailing. They are
wholly ignorant, it would seem, that the
bill contained anything but d simple
clause, under which, the black pay
was made attainable Prior to the fourth
of March, 1873, the salary of the Chief
Justice of the United States, was eight
thousand five hundred dollars. Upon
the passage, and approval by the Presi-
dent, of the appropriation bill--to which
was tackled the increase of salary meas
ure-this salary was increased two thou
sand dollars, so that it now is ten thou
sand five hundred dollars, that is to say,
the emoluments thereof, have been in
creased. George F. Edmunds became
Senator of the United States, by virtue
of his existing election, on the fourth
day of March, 1869, and ''the time for
which he was elected will not expire
until the fourth day of March, 1875.
The emolument of the Office of Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, which is civil office,
have been increased during the time for
which Mr.. Edmunds was elected to the
Senate, and he is, therefore, by the let
ter and spirit of the constitution, ineli-
gible to the office. This is, unfortunate
", one of those cases where the wholly
innocent must suffer with the guilty.
We know not whether Mr.. Edmunds
desired the Chief Justiceship, but it has
! been generally understood, for some
two years, that, upon the happening OF
a vacancy, it would be rendered to him.
OF one thing we are sure, no other or
better appointment could be made, or
one which would add more to the legal
learning and judicial acumen of that
august tribunal. Without his knowl,
edge and during his absence, Congress
has placed it out af his power to assume
that high position. We have this con-
ISOLATION, however, that whatever the ju-
dietary loses, Vermont gains in retaining
her distinguished Senator in his present
position as her representative.

THE BENNINGTON JAIL BREAK.-The
Banner speaks as follows of the Ben
nington jail break, in which Lucas, Co
vey and Barrett escaped:
When Lucas escaped last winter he
sprung the door to his inner cell, unlock
ed the outer creating with stick, nail,
or some such implement, pulled the
bricks and mortar out of a patched flue
in the corridor, and Crawled out. There
were four of those inner cells. An
iron bar was placed across thee doors of
two of them, which made the doors
strong and safe and Lucas and Convey
occupied the two cells thus securely
fastened. The other two cells were left
lust as the one had been from which
Lucas escaped. A few weeks since Mi
chael Barrett was brought to Jail on a
charge of attempted rape, and put into
one of these insecure cells. By some
means, some ordinary means, he obtain
ed a saw blade, made of a case knife,
with which he easily and readily sawed
off a five-eIghth bolt of wrought iron
hinge which held his cell door. Then
the door opened easy enough. Then he
pryed the three inch marble and cement
top, aollicA had no fastening, off the top
of his fellow prisoners cell; then the
trio, with a convenient lever pryed until
they bent an inch and quarter iron rod
that fastened the door of the outer graf
ing; then they pulled out the loose
bricks and mortar from the same old
hole out of which three escapes have
now been made, and then they lctti
The letting loose of three such desp
radoes, to commit such deperedations
upon the community as they may here
after choose is quite serious matter,
but the righteousness of the attempt, or
the nratandod attempt hold three
such prisoners, one of them a notorious
jail breaker, in such paper shell prison
as we have described is too ridiculous to
be thought of except with ridicule min
gled with contempt and indignation.
There was never any doubt but the
Jail when accepted by the county was
incomplete and insecure. But that was
year and half ago; which would
seem to have been a long enough time tC
have put couple of just such bars
across the two south cell doors as have
been put across the two north ones and
to have strapped down the stone slabs on
top of the cells, as originally intended
