BRAINS AND CONSCIENCE TO THE
FORE

For two years one could hardly take up
New York newspaper without meeting a
personal paragraph which afforded pleas
ant reading or the reverse, as Vermonters
reflected that the individual referred TO
was not, by his cotes, disappearing his
constituents, or as they remembered for
what purpose large and respectable body
OF Vermonters had, on two occasions, given
their suifrages for this man. The para
graph was to the effect that Hon. George
w. Hendee of Vermont was residing at"
the - hotel, New York city. During
the same time, the Congressional Record
came to US with statement that on all
questions, whether important or unimport-
ant, Mr.. Hendee was "absent or not vot-
ing" There was no trouble in telling
where to find his name. He was consist
ent every time. He never made the mis-
take of voting yea when he should have
voted nay, or the reverse. Not he. Every
time you could place your finger on him
He disappointed no man by voting against
his pet measure. No man could accuse
him of sustaining Job, or point to his
vote in favor of a suspicious measure. He
could ever ''point with pride" to his
record, and exclaim 'thou cannot say
i did it"-for there, invariably, every
time, would be found the name of George
W. Hendee us ''absent or not voting"
The present congress very much opened
in the same way. His record, as before,
could be discounted in advance. But sud
denly, after the holidays, change came
George w. Hendee was fixture in his
seat. The New York hotel had lost ts

office melted up its old stereotyped line of

and the New York HeraM the item relative
TO his "resding" AT the Fifth Avenue ho-
tel. Now his name may be invariably
found in the list OF yeas and nays on every
measure voted on In congress-yea on
every measure, good or bad, introduced by
a republican, and nay on every measure,
good or bad, suggested by a democrat

When the Springfield Republican ex-
presses the opinion that "Vermont is de-
" veloping an extraordinary amount of
politics to the square inch" does it stop
to think that there is a most excellent rea-
son for it +? The fact is that the people are
getting heartily disguised with the way the
machine is being run, and they propose to
take hand in hereafter. The Boston
journal may say, as it does in reference to
the Worcester conference, that there is "no
" necessity for the unusual mode of trying
" to influence the public mind, as il seems
" to distrust the efficacy of the regular pro-
cesses, but the fact remains that the peo-
pie do distrust the primaries and nominal,
each honest republican is transformed into
an earnest working politician, determined
that the public mind shall be influenced to
that point where rings and cliques, and
professional politicians, shall cease TO have
control, and the result is, an "extraordlnary
" amount of politics TO the square inch"

Department Of Justice.

The committee on expenditures in the
department Of justice, Of which Congress-
man Joyce is member, is conducting a
very secret examination into the official
conduct of Major Wilson, solicitor of the
treasury. There is reason to believe that
the charges consist of an old story, long
ago proved to be false, and that the pre-
tended evidence in the case has been hatch
ed up by batch Of Chicago detectives.

Fish Culture and Supply.

DR.. Goldsmith, of the fish commission of
our state, informs us that they will lie
ready to supply, at the proper time. young
pike, perch, Lake Champlain black bass,
aud any other variety of fish found in Lake
Champlain. 1t is known that the Lake
Champlain black bass is the finest variety
OF this species of fish found in Vermont,
or perhaps in New England, and citizens of
of this section of the state who have ponds
well adapted to them should secure large
supply for stocking their ponds. The
commission also inform US that they will
have full supply of white fish to distri-
butte the coming autumn. A little atten-
ton to this subject of securing supply of
these several varieties of fish, which cost
only the expense of going after them,
would soon restock our streams and ponds
as full as they were in the "good old days,
when anybody could catch "good string
of fish, in any of Vermont's rivers, ponds
or rooks.-BenningtOn Banner.

Catarrh is a common dsease,-so common

not two-thirds, Of those afflicted with Consump

Catarrh in the nose or head, the next step be-

to the lungs. How important then to give
eary ami prompt attention to Catarrh! To
cure this loathsome disease correct the system

Brandon Manufacturing Company
The Brandon Manufacturing company
are busily engaged in preparing scales to
exhibit at the centennial. We predict that
this company will excel all others in this
branch of goods They have gold plated
a No. drop lever platform scale of 500
pounds capacity. Half an ounce weight
thrown on the platform will tip the bar.
They have u three-wheeled No. union
scale, besides fish, hay and railroad scales
silver plated, finished with mahogany
birds-eye maple, ETC., etc. The most ele'
gantly finished work VIC have ever seen arc
these scales. We do not understand that
the company has given any more attention
in sealing these scales than any others.
The ornamental finish will not be sur.
passed. New laurels and new honors
ahead for this company. Cor. Black RIM
