SO long as burglars are thus invited to
prey upon banks, so long will bank rob-
berries be of common occurrence. The
state that winks at such compromising of
felony is the state that suffers. Expert
ence shows 1t, not only ia this class Of
crmea but in all others. What did the
Erie railroad make by compromising the
felony Of one of its presidents Did 1t
protect itself from future crimes Of the
same kind? Are embezzlements the less,
or the more, frequent in those state where
the officer who betrays his trust ia suffered
to go at large on giving mp the little that
remains of his plumber? 1t is said that the
country is more at the mercy of robbers
and forgers than the city, yet Vermont has
been remarkably free from this class of
crimes-and wby2 Simply because such
feonies are not compounded here. Be-
cause instead of taking o. b. Clark's
money, we take his person and confine
him in prison. Instead Of compromising
the felony OF bank robber, we let the
money go, If needs be, and secure and
punish the criminal These men give
Vermont wide berth, but such places as
Northampton may expect their visits and
depredations so long as bank officials 81 and
ready to compound felony and the officers
of the law wink at their course.

Horace Bushnell. D. D.

One of the pillars OF the Congregational
church in New England has passed away
in the death of Rev. DR.. Horace Bushnell
at Hartford, Thursday morning. Born at
New Preston, Ct, in 1902, graduate of
Yale in 1897, his whole life, with the ex-
ception of brief period about 1880, when
he went to New York and wa9 editor of
the New York Journal Of Commerce, has
been spent in his native state and since
1888 in Hartford, where until within few
years he has boon pastor of the North
Congregational church. He has been a
voluminous theological writer. and somo
of his views have been deemed 50 heretical
that he was once called upon to answer a
charge against him before the clerical
association to which he belonged, though
II was not sustained. He was man of
great intellectual force, and combined with
his fondness for theological discussion an
uncommon interest 10 public affairs.
Hartford has only recently begun to realize
the debt she owes him, and 1t must have
been IL pleasant incident of his last days
that he should see the park which he had
secured for the city named after HIM.

Col. Fred. has been expressing himself
on the proposed reduction of the army. He
is clear that the pay should not be cut
down, and that it won't do to meddle with
the cavalry. But he thinks considerable
might be saved by consolidating four in

remaining forces-the officers to be "dis-
tributed among other regiments"
The Boston Journal says of Bristow
lie has nobly done his duty, heretofore, and
however the courts moy do theirs, or what
ever their findings may be. the secretary
should keep steadily on with bis work. He
may be taken frop, it, but in the judgment
of the American people, whose eyes are

Current Notes.
wlNSLOw, THE FoRGRR.

Winslow, the Boston forger, seems to
have been victim of to him extremely un-
fortunate circumstances in his eff orts to es-
cape with his ill-gotten gains. Misnform-
cd as to the existence of an extradition
treaty between Holland and the United
States he landed on the Dutch coast In a
pilot boat, leaving his wife, sister and son
to go on to Rotterdam. Still laborlpg
under an erroneous impression he left
land of no extradition for one where extra
dition was i'll full force, and whose power
he will be now made to feel. While in
Holland, fearing ali arrest, (Which could
not be made he wrote letter to his wife
under an assumed name, thus making him
self liable, by Dutch law, to arrest and
summary ejectment from the country on
the German side of the land of canals. the
logic of Dutch Jurisprudence no doubt find
ing 1t more profitable to saddle suspicious
characters on another nation than TO take
care of them in its own courts. Had
Winslow been transferred to the German
frontier he wonld have been arrested at the
instance of the American minister in Ber-
lin, and under the provisions of the extra
dition treaty between Germany and the
United States. So the forger would have
been arrested in any event.
SYMPATHY FOR THE DEFENDANT.
The close of the Babcock prosecution at
st. Louis is followed by outside comment
to this import The struggle has been a
bitter one, and if the insinuations and ss-
sertions of those connected with the pros
ecution may be relied upon, they have been
halted. each succeeding step in the long
and tedious proceedings, by the objections
of the superb array Of ingenious counsel on
the other side, and been compelled, inch
by inch, as it were, to push onward Not
only that, but they have met with outside
opposition, not alone from the personal
friends of the defendant, but from those in
high and powerful official and political sta
tions, whose behavior, if not deserving of
severer terms of censure, is at least shame
full. 1t is a singular fact, and one that
may give rise 10 many speculatons, that
throughout the whole progress of this trial
the prosecution have relied on the SYM
patty and cooperation of very few persons
high in Office.

The State Fair.

The st. Adams Messenger says Messrs.
Brainerd and Sranahan, proprietors of
BELLEVUE trotting park, received u telegram
Thursday evening, from the locating com
mitiee of the state agricultural society, an
nouucing that they had decided to hold the

The Burlington FIRE. Press of Friday
evening thus comments The locating COM
mittee of the state agricultural society con-
sisted of James A. Shedd, of this city, who
was in favor Of Burlington, for the state
fair; S G.. Holyoke, OF st. Adams, who
was in favor of st. Adams, and Col. Geo.
A. Merrill, of Rutland, who had the cast
ing vote ia the matter Col. Merrill has
decided in favor of st. Adams, which we
understand to settle the case.
In a letter to Mr.. Shedd, Mr.. Merrill
Gays that his vote ID against his own per-
sons feelings. The objections to Burlipg-
ton, as he states them, are that the grounds
selected are too small that it will be al
most impossible TO get a tirst-rate track ;
that SO 600 or $1,000 will not p 1t them in
shape, and that. being entirely new he be-
iieves they would inevitably disappont the
officers.
The Free Press adds: We do not doubt
| that Mr.. Merrill IL honest in these conclu-
sions. Whether they are wise is another
question. We believe that Burlington
could be trusted to give the state society
| tirst-class grounds SCd track, if she under
took SO to do. Tine society has made three

would have carried 1t out handsomely and
if the state society can stand the decision
this city can.
We think the society can stand livery
well-even if Burlington is disappointed.
We believe President Merrlls reasons for
deciding in favor of ST. Albans are valid
and good, as it will give the people Of thai
section of the state an opportunity to show
the products of their farms, fine herds and
excellent horses. The state society went
to st. Johnsbury because an exhibition had
never been held in northeastern Vermont
and 1t is now no more than just that the
fair should 60 to the northwestern part OF

Death of Daughter of Gov. Van
Ness.

Cable dispatches bring word OF the
death, as noticed in THE GLoBR of Friday,
of Mrs. Cornelia Van Ness Roosevelt,
widow of the late James |. Roosevelt, of
New York. Mrs. Roosevelt died in Paris
on Monday.
In the biographical sketch of Gov. Van
Ness, prepared for Miss Hemenway's Ga
zetteer by Hon. ID. A, Smalley of Burling-
ton, Mrs Roosevelt is thus alluded to;
Cornelia, native of st. Adams, the Sec
ond daughter of the first Mrs. Van Ness,
was the favorie niece of Gen. John p. Van
Ness, and usually resident member of his
family at Washington. She 10 well remem-

address. Possessing much of her distin-
guished fathers ability, with no little
share OF his singular aptitude for politics,
she was We'll versed in the political affairs
OF the country, and Is said to have exer-
cised great and conservative influences over
more than one OF the administrations which

Roosevelt she has been resident of New
York, where her exercise of genial and ex-
tensive hospitality is justly appreciated by
the many distinguished visitors who fire.

"drummers' in the papers, and voting
them great waste and expense. But the
drummers evoke the rivalry of New York
in their behalf, and claim to sell $12, OOO,-

that too much has already been written to
prove Boston great commercial center,

to worry about New York. The ADDER

ton is Boston and not likely to fiat out in a

COMPOUNDING FELONY.

A Boston telegram states that the au-
thorites of Northampton, Massachusetts,
believing that the bulk of the securities
stolen at the recent bank robbery at that
place are still concealed somewhere in the
town, have force of special police guard
ing all the roads leading therefrom that
active search is being made for these Sc
curties and that, if they are not found,
negotiations will be opened with the burg
lars, who are said TO be known to the de-
tectives, for the return of the securities !;
and that the basis of the negotiations are
to be, a return of the securities on their
part, for which they are to retain twelve
thousand dollars in cash and be ''euaran-
I" teed immunity from prosecution"
The statement may be well or i'll ground
ed in fact, but it certainly has an air of
plausiblity, and is in accordance with the
tendency of the times. There is good
deal of human nature, too, in the plan of
action thus marked out. The managers of
the bank are, like all other men, intensely
selfish. II Is not the crime they care
about, it is solely the loss. If, however,
they could recover the stolen money and
securities, they would be willing to sweeten
its recovery with a little revenge-if you
please TO call it SO. Moreover it would

say, we have recovered our property, and,
at the same time, secured the burglars and

after all, they do not propose to lose sight
Of the main chance. Our money and the
thieves. if we can get both but our money
any way We should be pleased with both,
but If we get our money we shall not
trouble the thieves.
They, and others similarly situated, may
not place 1t exactly in this way, but it
amounts to the same thing. Rather than
risk the faint hope Of making their loss
good in part, they allow burglars, men who
live by preying on their fellows, men whom
they are said to know, to go at large, to go
unwhipped OF justice. If they were the

themselves respectable, law respecting, law
abiding citizens, ally themselves with Grim
mails and conspire with them to violate the
law. When, however, these respectable
men say to thieves and robbers, ''you have
stolen the funds entrusted to our care,
" but if you will divide the plumber, we
will compound the felony, and save you
from punishment" they place all the
banks in the country at the mercy of burg
lars. They invite bank robbers. They
hold out an inducement to the worst class
OF criminals, by giving them to understand
that successful burglary IS perfectly
safe operation that they can, at any time,

Another one of those reports comes to US
from Washington, telling of an outbreak
between the president and Secretary Bris-
tow, but, in this instance, as before, it
needs confirmation. We have, however,
for some time been aware that rupture
was not only possible but probable. Our
information comes from so Trustworthy
source as to be unquestionable. An effort,
covert but none the less determined, is be-
ing made TO drive MIR. Bristow from the
cabinet. The confidence of the country in
him, and the probability that the people
will call him to higher service, is peculiarly
calling to some of tho Washington officials.
Their desire and intention is to force
him to resign. We trust, however, that
they will not succeed. The country's ad-
vice is the same that Senator Sumner gave
to Secretary Slanton-"Stick."

Bristow and the President.

The Brstow-Grant gossip changes but
little. Bristow's friends beg him to stay
where he is till the president asks him to
resign. The game is to annoy him into
going out of himself, and then to lay the
responsibility on him. Bristow's friends
insist that Gen. Grant shall take the full
responsibility of drumming him out. if he
is to go, knowing very well that it will po-
litically ruin everybody having anything to
do with it, OF the presidential candidates,
Morton, Logan and Conkling are known
to secretly desire Bristows overthrow, but
they fear the people, and are exceedingly
cautious IN their movements.

In another column will be found card
extending the thanks of the Rutland fire
department to their brother fremen Of
Whitehall. In publishing this card, we take
occasion to assure the fire department of
Whitehall that their cheerful, ready and
prompt assistance is, also, gratefully apprc-
ciated by the citizens of Rutland. AL
though this expression may be late, it is
none the less hearty, and we can assure our
neighbors that by their generous action
they have kindled within the breasts of the
people of Rutland fire of gratitude and
kindly feeling that nothing but the cold
waters of death can Quench.

This Is not a bad time for newspapers
and private citizens who like the quality
OF Brstow's work, and want him to ''stick"
to indicate their sentiments, says the
Springfield Republican. The unfrendly
pressure is very strong, and is liable to
soon become stronger, His position IN the
cabinet is not any too comfortable at pres
ent, and promises to become more disagree
able than 1t is. He has rather habit of
resigning office and the country cant well
afford to spare him yet while. A coun-
ter-pressure is eminently In order.
