THEY are all alike. The Democratic lead
ers in Pennsylvania begin to feel so strong
that they have decided not to recognize the
Liberal element. 1t is given out that nc
man shall be recommended for or appointed
to office who did not vote for Mcclellan ir
1854, Seymour in 1868, and Greeley in 1872
In distributing the patronage of the state
house of representatives the Liberals were
entirely ignored, and were not awarded the
least responsible or renumeratlve position.
The same policy is to be pursued hereafter
and only the most ultra Democrats are to be
recognized.

THE fruits of Democratic rule are showing
themselves. Last fall the Democrats carried
Alabama. Now convention has been called
to revise the organic law of the state, and to
modify and wholly do away with the recon-
struction constitution. Alabama and the other
rebel states were only readmitted to the Union
on adopting these reconstruction constitutions
as warrants that they would solemnly abide
by the results of the war. They are now
shamelessy breaking their pledges.

Two years ago the President sent special
message to Congress, accompanying re-
port of the United States commissioners
appointed to examine Mexican boundary
matters, and recommended that some action
be taken. Congress, as usual, did nothing.
Now the President is obliged to send troops
to protect the frontier. This is but one of
manv instances in which he has been forced
to do work properly belonging to Congress,

THE Cuban authorities are quite as anx-
ious to get rid of Sharkey as our authorities
are to get hold of him. He is to be expelled
from the island, and is to be put on board an
American vessel bound for the United States;
so it will be very easy for the officers to seize
him as soon as he lands in this country.

The States Folly

The fact that tramps are nightly fill
ing the jails and police stations in our
larger towns and are being supported at
the public expense merely to keep them
from committing crime, is calling atten-
ton sharply to the inadequacy Of our
laws for the punishment and reforma-
ton of all classes of minor offenders.
All through the long, hard winter just
closed, the jails in st Adams, Burlington,
Rutland, Montpelier, and very likely
elsewhere in the State, have afforded
homes of Incidence and schools of crime
to considerable number of able.bodied
men who were delinquent on fines, or in
default of bail, or refused to testify where
they got liquors, or were guilty Of some
other misdemeanor, and now the State
is as badly troubled as the Irishman who
caught catamount and called on the
bystanders to help him g. let the plaguey
thing 60"
The Free Press, after citing some
very convincing facts from the Chitten-
den county Jail, puts in strong plea
for one or more warehouses. This is,
without doubt, the true remedy. Gov.
Stewart recommended it and Gov. Peck
has urged it upon the legislature. Last
fall the subject came under the exami-
nation of a joint special committee, of
which Senator Clarke of this county
was chairman, and the result was the pas
sage of bill by the Senate for the estab-
lishment of one workhouse for the State,
but it failed to pass the House. And
such measures always will fail until
public sentiment is educated up to the
Importance Of the subject and made ia
miliar with the waste, in an economical
point of view, Of our present system, and
its utter failure to repress crime or reform
offenders. For this season we are glad
that the newspapers are giving their at
tention to the barbarism are giving
ancient policy that the State outgrew
long ago, and we are confident that the
more they examine it the worse it will
appear. st Adams Messenger

windham County Council.

The first quarterly meeting of the
Windham County Council of the Patrons
of Husbandry was held at Fayetteville
May 9TH, with good attendance Some
diversity of opinion as to the best mode
of obtaining desired ends prevailed, but
the meeting was harmonious and profit
able. The next session of the Council
will be held Friday August 9th. Mr..
Sergeant of Brattleboro offered the fol.
lowing resolutions, which after some good
natured sparring between him and a
member of the state executive committee
were adopted almost unanimously:
Whereas, We the members of Wind
ham County Council, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, believe that the establishing
and working of degrees beyond the
fourth is debasing to the enlightened
sense of the Patrons of the country, in
that it Is creating a privileged aristocra
CIV within the order, and
Whereas, We believe that every fourth
degree member should be entitled to al
the rights and privileges of the order
be it therefore
Resoiued, That this council deelar,
itself uncompromisingly opposed to any
thing and everything tending towards
aristocracy in the order, and we unhes
itatingly demand the abolition of al
degrees beyond the fourth.
