rate of reduction the whole five per cent
loan could be paid before the four and one
half per cent loan natures in 1891 and
that loan could be paid before the proposed
four per cent loan of 1896 would be due,
and in fact the entire debt save the con-
soils of 1907 could be provided fer during
tho present century, and with no increase
to our present rate. but with constantly
decreasing burden of interest. Authority
could be given the treasury TO make more
favorable terms in the REISSUE of five per
cent bonds and perhaps at lower rate OF
interest; but with no provision for ex-
tended time. This plan advocates meas
ures that will tend TO remove embarrass-
ments from our nation, for without the
national debt our machinery Of govern
ment could be conducted in q way that
would tend towards the best possible
civil service reform.

geological survey, that n heavy snow
storm would occur in the United States
February second and third, one of the
signal officers of the United States signal
office told the interviewer that the predic.
ton OF Vennor was happy guess; that,
having made a prophecy as to what the
weather would be one week before il
occurred, he happened to hit upon Just
such weather as he had described, an
occurrence which might never take place
again. The signal Office does not pretend
to predict week in advance. The Ger.

SrowE.-At an early hour on the even.
ing of January u, 1880, the neighbors,
friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
S. Newton OF this place began to gather at
their residence to celebrate the thirtieth
anniversary of their marriage. Between
forty and fifty assembled, and as many
more would gladly have been present, bu.
were prevented by the bad roads and un-
pleasantness of the evening. After very
pleasant time spent in visiting, Rev. R. L.
Smith, pastor of the NJ. f. church, read
communication from j. Warren Newton,
the only child of Mr.. and Mrs Newton
who was not able to be present. Mr..
Smith then made few appropriate re-
marks and offered prayer. Mr.. Newton
responded, dwelling upon the history of
the NJ. L. church in Stowe, Of which he is
one of the oldest living members. Then
came the presentation of the gifts, which
were quite surprise TO the recipients.
Among the presents was one OF dozen
siluer plated forks from the members of
the Methodist church. Cake and coffee
we're provided by the friends. The gath
ering was not only of the pleasanteSt, but
also of the most profitable character.

Go SLow.-We see the Rutland Herald
cites the Albany, N. Y, caucuses and the
large vote polled at them Friday as an
indication of the popular feeling for Gen.
Grant. The Herald does not state the
circumstances under which these caucuses
were held.
The republican committee headed by
Mr.. Smyth, Grant man, had meeting
Thursday evening, called the caucuses for
the next noon and published notice in q
morning paper Friday. The evening
Journal, the leading republican paper Of
Albany, of course did not have the notice
as the call was issued and the caucuses
held between its publication hours of
Thursday and Friday.
The result Of this snap game is n Grant
delegation to the state convention and a
republican Indignation meeting at lived
die Hall and the probable sending Of q
contesting delegation.
Gentlemen who want Grant 10 be presi-
dent, what does this mean? Do you not
know that nominating a man is one thing
eecting him anotherP If you nominate
Grant you will need the votes of all
republicans to elect him, to say nothing Of
independents whom you profess to despise
By the Albany course you will lose needed
| votes.

The correspondent of the Boston Journa
has discovered Il plot democratic, blood
curdling plot, to steal Vermont. He ha
been reading the Vermont constitution
which requires that the votes for governor
lieut.. governor and treasurer be brough
to the canvnssng committee, and has
discovered that, this not having been hon
ored in the observance, that the democratic
had arranged to have it done from demo
cratic towns this fall. All the plo
amounts to if there is anything to the
story is that the democrats have though
best TO have the law of the state regarded
We know republicans have thought thu
same thing and spoken of it, and have hat
no thought they were engaged in u plot il
so doing. The provisions of our consti
tuition are better honored in the Observance,
than in the breach and any suggestion o.
movement looking in that direction
whether from democratic or republican
source, is in the right direction. The law
of II dozen years ago providing for dupl
cate certificates has led Of late yea to :
observance of the letter of the const
tuition and but few towns of late year
have sent the votes actually east t.
Montpelier.
This course, though convenient ant
practically accurate, has always been tn
subject of criticism, and there is ne doub
that the secretary of state has long had
in mind to call the attention of town Off
GERS to the constitutional provisions il
that regard, to govern their future action.

We are glad to see the Vermont repub-

that the delegation to Chicago shall be fol

should BIZ done whether George F. Ed

whatever notion he pleases about the pro-
prety of Vermont's presenting his name
he may not want to be talked about as q
candidate-he may think it is all nonsense

that is.

whether he gets her ten votes only or get!

that he has yet enough affection for anc

right to express IN opinion and not b.
ashamed of her because she stands alone.

Adolph Z. Borie, ex-secretary of The
United States navy, died at his home in
Philadelphia, Thursday. Mr.. Borie was
successful merchant, of French extraction,
born in Philadelphia in 1910. He acquired
large fortune in foreign commerce.
During the civil war he was an active
and liberal supporter of the Union cause.
lie was appointed as secretary of the
navy by President Grant in March, 1869
His administration of that Office was
capable and honest, though it only lasted
short period, when MIR. Borie retired to
private life. lie was a strong political
admirer and personal friend of General
Grant. and accompanied him during a
large portion of his travels abroad. He
was present at the reunion of Genera
Grants cabinet, held at Philadelphia q
short time since at the residence of Mr.
George w. Chids; and as he had been
reported in feeble health his death was moi
