We wish TO draw attention to statement
in the Reforner of last week, containing an
insinuation against the character Of the Re
publican candidate for Senator, DIR. d. p.
Webster.
We do not notice the allusion because we
are the political friend and supporter of DIR.
Webster; on the contrary, as far rs We have
any interest in the politics of the State, our
sympathies are rather with the reform party.
But entirely aside from its political bearing,
this statement contains an allegation against
the moral character of fellow towusman,
neighbor and friend-an allegation as false as
it is malicious; and it is for this reason that
We notice it, Had We Lot been personally in
formed by the editor Of the Rtformer that
this statement had escaped his notice in his
review of contributions, and so was published
without his approval, We should characterize
the publication of such matter stupid piece
of nonsense, to which no respectable journal
would descend; species of tactics which
cannot be too severely condemned. Who
ever the author of this irsinuation may be,
we do not wish to judge linn unchGritably /;
we would rather believe he did not know any
better, and was under The deusion that he
was serving the public goodhy giving Publici-
ty to such rumor; but, if he acted intclG-
gently, we must characterize such conduct as
cowardly, malicious and moanly unfair ma
ljcious, because he seeksto do the greatest in
jury that man can do to his fellow man ;
cowurdly because he does il in way to
screen himself from legal prosecution, which
would otherwise follow him meauly unfair,
because he chooses a time when little can be
done to counteract the influence which his in
situation is designed TO have in the election
so near at hand. But whatever effect the
statement may have in quarters were DR..
Webster is not known, such an allegation will
do him no injury in the least here in his owl
town where he is best known. OF this We
are confident, because the same defamatOry
report was circulated here two years ago, and
our citizens have shown by their action how
much credit they think it entitled to. DR.
Webster still has the undiminished confidence
of the best citizens of the town, and is admit
ted to most intimate association with ON
most respectable families.

The New York Times publishes some Ia
bles drawn from official records which show
TINT the National banks, in aggregate, have
been for over two years paying their stock
holders more than their earnings Tho rca-
son for such payment has been partly the
mistaken idea that dividends are iudspensa-
bic to the continuance Of good standing, and
partly the fact that they could not help re-
spending to the ogonies Of the stockholders
and the necessities of the case because
their stockholders consist largely Of women
and other dependent persons "who cannot
live in this exhausted state Of things unless
they get something out Of their stock. The
figures show that bank capital aud surplus
have been decreasing. The decline between
1879 and 1876, in the ratio of earnings to
capital and surplus was % per cont in New
England, 32 in the Middle States, . in the
South, 2.3 in the West, and SO in the whole
country, thus indicating the relative shrink
age of earnings to be largest where banks nv
erago the largest in capital and accumula-
tions. During the half-ycarly periods ending
March and Sept. /, the national banks charged
of their books MS losses so, 7l9,O2G for 1876.
and SO, 1873, jSS for 1877 this is equivalent,
for 1876, to 500 per cent of the capital for
1877, TO i.O9 per cent of the capital. Dur
ing the half year ending Sept 1, 1871 the
number of banks and amount Of capital pay
ing no dividends was as follows, given in
thousands New England States, b banks.
$g,OOS5; Middle States, ~ banks, S1i,573;
Southern States, 30 banks, & 23G; West

- banks, 81, 80; total, 2SS banks, SIl.-
100.
The Times says 1t is not impossible that
these amounts charged off for losses, rs above
stated, are above the present rate, and repre-
sent the clearing away Of items which had
been carried along in the hope Of saving
portion of them on the other hand, there is
scarcely faiur where the losses, commonly
said 10 be "wcll distributed do not hit some
banks. The causes of diminished income do
eminent in refunding has caused the substi-
tuition of lowcr-rate bonds for the old skies,
and the disappearance of the gold premium
has reduced the dolar-income from interest as
well as the currency market price of the
bonds to be counted in assets: and most of
all, money has been so idle for years that the
constant problem has been how to put it to
any use without mourning unwanantalle
risk. On the other hand expenses, particu-
larry taxes have been almost ndimiuishod.
The foregoing review is not intended to
suggest that the banks are in bad way. 1t
is simply-not for Mr.. b. f. Butler and his
new friend Kearney, the one of whom is "a
dishonest, and the other possibly an hon
est, denunciator of banks-but for other bank
haters who have not thought ut all beyond
the visible fact that banks have plenty of
money which they refuse to part with with
out security, to provoke reflection in the
clamor against banking "monopolists, and
all capitalists rs consumers of prosperity that
ought to be divided fairly among 'thc poo
pie"

Having already stated the leading reasons
why q full Republican vote is especially de
Sirnble in our next weeks election, it only re-
mains for us to again urge our Windham
county Republicans to do their full share
toward rolling up the $4,000 majority for
Proctor and Cotton which the State ought to
show. The bolt in the Third District, and
the movement there toward the greeuback
haresy, furnishes the strongest possible rea-
son why We of this section should give our
candidates every available vote, full vote,

mont next Tuesday will strengthen and Ell

election which occurs on the following week,

earnestly advocate. Let every WindhAm eoun-

So far rs our local politics are concerned,
we repeat what We have heretofore constantly
said, that the attempt to detraet from the
character aud qualifications of some of our
county candidates is 80 purely and evidently
selfish and partisan in its character as to have
no force with any thinking man. We believe
that our county ticket is worthy of support,
and that it should and will receive the vote OF
every man who believes that the Republican
party has still mission to perform.
Beyond this the town representative ques
ton is the one important consideration. The
remarks which We have made in regard to tn,
necessity that Brattleboro should send pos

The ravages of yellow fever in the South
continue with undimnishod violence in most
places where the disease has gained sure
foothold, the cases of sickness and death are
constantly on the increase, and even the ply
sicians and nurses are becoming panic strick-
en- in many cases. The situation at Memphis
is daily growing worse, and from Grenada
come the most frantic appeals for help. Cases
are now reported rs far north rs Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. Money and supplies for the
relief of sufferers are pouring in in a most eX-
traordinary and encouraging manner, and
each of the leading cities in the country seems
to vie with the rest in phianthropic end7avor.
An appeal has been sent from Memphis to
President Hayes, urging him to appoint Il
commission of the most eminent physicians
and chemists of the country to investigate the
present epidemic and devise measures if pos
sble, to prevent its recurrence.

4 Harvest SCENE IN MINSEsoTA.-W are
now on section IL on which the harvesters
are at work. II is high rolling ground and
away OIL every side are seen the golden
mounds, thickly dotted with the shocks of
wheat Twelve hundred acres have already
fallen before the greedy sickles of the favor
lite hnrvesters, and We are Just in time to see
fifteen of these perfect machines attack
another great patch of grain Here is a splen-
did sight. The intelligence of genius seems
to have been given to these wonderful combi-
nations of cogs and belts, and the highest
grade of intelligence, the educated brains, are
put into the hands of the lowest grade, the
hand-workers, III the shape of n machine
which seems to lack but the God.givcn soul
to be human. 1t is three miles around this
field. and one after the other the fifteen har-
vesters bring their keen sickles to bear upon
the grain. When all are in line a swath one
hundred feet in width is cut. On they go,
working smoothly. without Jar the nicely
bound sheaves falling lightly on the stubble,
with heads erect We followed the process
sion, anxious to witness the complete opera
ton for this is not by any means a perfect
field of wheat. Here the wind and rain have
beaten down a backward piece and the stalks
lie broken and tangled. Straight on the ma
chine walks and every spear is bound, but
the bundle is not handsome. Now comes a
patch in which the trailing wild pea-vine is
twisted and twined around the grain. Up it
comes, pea-yine, wheat and all. and tangled
mass falls OF the harvester, tightly bound.
Now We reach part of the field where strong,
rank weeds, encouraged by the rain and sun,
have reared their heads far above the wheat.
This We think. will try the machine sorely,
for the thick, tihrous trunks of the weeds are
tough, and the sap is gummy. But there is
no such thing as failure, and it binds the
worthless weeds as faithfully and easily as it
does the valuable wheat Still round and
round the fifteen giants walk, doing their
work faithfully, although guided by green
men, who find little to do except TO attend to
the horses. - Letter 10 81. Pant Pioneer Press
