The space We have given 10 the proceed
lngs of the convention Of druggists and
apothecarIes Of our State, which has been
in session in Burlington, is fully justified by
the important relation which their bust
ness bears to the welfare Of the community.
Whether the drugs on which we rely to
help us resist disease shall be what they
purpcrt to be; whether the prescriptions
the doctors hand Us shall be accurately and
skilfully compounded from the store ofmedi-
zines and l,oiSnns which fill the apothecary :
shop, are pretty important questions. They
are liable to be questions of life or death in
the ease Of any man who needs, or supposes
he needs, the aid Of the apothecary The
apothecary's customers are practically at
his mercy, for his processes and substances
are sealed book to most people In no
calling relating to mans physical interests.
do honesty, scientific skill and experienced
capacity seem 50 indispensable as in those
which relate to the care and cure of disease
And We welcome and bid God speed any
organization, which, like the State Associa-
ton of Pharmacists, aims to secure and en-
nance those qualifications among its mem
bers.
The very practical and sensible address
by Prof. Seelcy Of Middlebury, which we
have printed, urged the founding of n Yer
mont College of Pharmacy, as new and
needed step in the advancement of the pro-
fession in our State The Professor practi-
cally admitted that such an institution is
possible at this time-and, he might have
added, for this generation-only as an ad-
junet to the Medical College. That must be
evident to any practical man. 1t is not
possible to secure the capital and patron
age necessary for an independent college for
druggists in Vermont But almost all the
means and appliances for such an institu-
ton exist in connection with our State Uni
versity. 1t Possesses one of the finest chem
zeal Laboratories in the Union. Its Profess
sor of Chemistry, also, is one OF the most
skiliul chemists and most competent in
in his department, in the eoun-
try. 1t numbers in its corps of instruct
DIS scientific and thorough botanist. 1t
has an able course of lectures IN the Ma
teria Medica, every year. All that need |
be added for the College of Pharmacy, is |
course on practical pharmacy. With |
such facilities already available, the organ
zation of an institution for the training of |
Up )thecaries need not be very complica-
ed or difficult matter and its advantages
% the druggists of the future in our State,
md to the community which in the coming
Iears is to take from them its medicines,
could not fail to be immense.

No well informed person does or can
question the sincerity of Mr.. Edmunds
opposition both 10 the hack pay and to the
Increase Of salaries of Congressman. Any
one who will look over the history Of the
passage of the act. published in pamphlet
by W. 5. Robinson (''Warrington ,, Will
see that Mr. Edmunds led the opposition
to the bill. The first notion in the Senate
against it, viz. to strike out all except the
first clause (Which provided for an increase
of the Presidents salary was made by Mr..
EdmundS and at every subsequent stage
it had his earnest opposition by speech and
vote upon the floor. and by rulings from the
chair. while he temporarily occupied it.
lie especially attacked the retroactive
feature of the bill, and his position is
summed up by Mr.. Robinson in the follow
ing words: "Mr. Edmund, throughout
seems to have opposed this matter more
honestly than any body else, except Nor
rill of Vermont and Wright Is to tie
point argued by Mr. Edmunds, it is enough
TO say that while there have been high au-
thoritieS on both sides, the Treasury de-
partment appears to have decided against
his view of the case. Washington specials
inform us that the United States Treasury
department has just printed a list of the
appropriations made by the last Congress,
and has classified all the appropriations
which the department regards as ''pcrma-
nent" and as indefinite" Under the latter
head it places the salaries Of Senators and
Representatives, and a this arrangement Is
published for the guidance Of all officers Of
the department, it settles the question
whether back pay reyerts to the Treasury
under the law regulating uneHpcnded balan-
ces, 50 far a. the Treasury can determine it.
The publication Of this book is the first
official decision by the department that the
appropriations for the salaries of members
Of Congress are such a. are termed lin
definite " and by law unexpended balances
of indefinite appropriations Do not revert
into the Treasury.

The Republican State Convention of New
York added it, condemnation Of the salary
grab to that of nearly every other State
where conventions have been held. Some
changes were made in the State ticket. the
most notable of which is the substitution of
Benjamin d. Silliman Of New York, for At
toraey- General in place of General Barlow,
the omission of whose name from the ticket
will give offence to many earnest and true
Republicans in the State. Mr.. Silliman,
however, is an excellent lawyer. and has
had large experience at the bar, hay-
ing served for number of years as
district-attorney for the United States
in the important eastern district of
New York, of which the court has concur
rent jurisdiction with the southern district
court, in matters arising ont of the bust
ness of that port. Subsequently he was a
member of the State Constitutional Conven-
ton. "llc belongs" says the New York
Times ''tO what may be called the old school
of lawyers of solid attainmenis and gener-
Gus culture, and may be relied on to per-
form the delicate duties of the Office with
honor to himself and the State. In the con-
duct of the great suits, civil and criminal,
against the leaders of Tammany, which still
remain before the courts. his services would
be of the greatest value" The ticket as a
whole is strong one, and, in the present
divided state of the opposition, ought to
have an easy canvass before it.

perhaps, plentier than before Several cir

States Treasury of the November interest

and the reopening of the Stock Exchange.
which indicated that men were ready to re-
sumo business. Not only has money reached
Wall street from the interior and from the
vaults of the treasury, but some cight mil
lions of gold are now on the way from Eng
land, which viii be used upon arrival in
buying bonds and stocks, in aifording re-

tating the movement of the crops from the
South and West to the sea-board. Relief
has already been experienced in this branch
of trade. Over 400, coo bushels of wheat
were received at New York on Saturday.
The timely letter of the President has
strengthened the feeling ofconfdence. The
President indicates that the government
will cooperate in any lawful step to remove
the dead-loek-a pledge which has practi-
cal illustration in the anticipation of the
November interest. What he says of the
position Of the banks and of their duty to
the community is also to the point, and has
exercised a wholesome influence.
