reasons of their own, want Barstow to
be elected governor, and are accord
ingly going to nominate him, and the
people OF the state will elect him. The
people OF Vermont have fair share OF
independence; they are mostly farmers
who do not care two cents for any rail-
road ring in existence, and II they were
aware that in every gubernatorial cleo
ton they were simply led By the nose
By the ring, they would break up the
little game unceremoniously. but the
ring conceals lis hand most skilfully,
the state papers follow the tune set
them, the people take their opinions
from the papers, and when tho dele
gates of the farmers from the two hun
dred and forty-one towns of the state
assemble to nominate somebody for
governor, they find the thing all fixed
up ready for them, listen to lot of
eloquent eulogies on the candidate Sc
lected for them, ratify the work of the
ring, and then depart for home, fully
satisfied that they have done their duty
and selected the right man. II they did
but know it, they have not had the first
thing to do with the matter, except
give their vote in accordance with the
wishes Of the ring. Now, the nomina.
ton of Barstow, for instance, was de-
cided upon by the ring several months
ago. The ring papers were notified
what tune TO play, and the result is the
laughable harmony which has greeted
our ears of late. 1t is a pretty judicious
kind of ring we have in this state !;
they are careful about pushing things |;
they simply lead gently, and the aver.
age citizen trots along after, content
eddy grunting over the ease with which
Republican candidates are selected In
Vermont.
Nevertheless, II is a burning shame
that such things should be. Here is an
agricultural state. where all the power
is In the hands Of the farmers. They
could elect whomsoever they pleased
to any office in their gift. They are
wholly Independent of any control at.
tempted over them by a visible power
They have intelligence in plenty, and
number in their ranks some of the very
ablest men In the state--men worthy of
any position In the service of the peo-
pie. Why are not such men nominated
for our governors2 Why do not this
vast, interrupted and Independent ma.
jority of our voters exercise the power
which belongs to them? Why do they
blennially 60 through the miserable
farce of sending delegates to state con-
ventions merely to give the stamp of
their approval to the cut-and-dried
nominations made by few irresponsi-
BILE men? Such abdication OF power
on their part would be worthy OF slaves
If they realized what they were about
1t is high time for them TO learn the
nature Of the power which controls
them SO easily, and decide whether they
will be the tools of ring any longer.
There is nothing to be said against the
personal character or ability of Barstow
that we are aware of, but a. the nomi.
nee of a ring which essays to possess all
power in the state, no is mos. objec-
tionabls. The people of the state should
be its rulers. Hadn't they better wake
up and smash this Barstow business,
and nominate and elect their own gov
ernor this year?

What peaceful time we would enjoy to
he sure, II people did not needle with
criminals, but allowed them to Iwork

crime rampant in his community and
not give voice and work to suppress 1t,

A man who claims to be Mormon
elder, In letter TO the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette over the assumed
name OF Joseph Smith, gives a detailed
account of the scheme for stimulating
the faith of Mormons and Overwhelming
the. Gentilas by the resurrection of
Brigham Young. He Gays that tho plot
was laid about year before the an
nouncement of the Prophets death, and
that the originator of II was Brigham
himself. The writer was one OF the
five persons admitted TO the conspiracy,
and his conscience will not keep the
secret any longer. Having spent sew
eral years In comfortable seclusion,
while wax effigy reposed In his coffin.
The Prophet Is about to emerge and
electrify the faithful. After this frank
exposure the writer's only chance of
safety Is In concealing his real name,
and, as 1t Is, he expects to fall sooner or
later "by the death shot or the mortal
stab of the Danites." This fate would
indeed be calamitous, for he has nine
loving wives and any number of chill
dren In Salt Lake City. Resurrection
might prove TO be the strongest card In
the Mormon pack at this stage Of the
game, aud, absurd as these stories
seem, good many persons are disposed
to see some truth in them.

~President Arthur has vetoed the
anti Chinese bill for the reason that he
considers 1t a violation of the intent
Of the treaty with China, which as
modified through the recent commits
sion to China, allowed the United
States "to regulate, limit or suspend"
the immigration of the Chinese. The
President contends with reason that
this power was not understood by eth
er party to the treaty to mean that the
United States might suspend the Inn
migration of the Chinese for an I'M.
reasonable time. If the bill had sus-
pended the Chinese immigration for
ouly five OF ten years the president
would probably have given 1t his sig
nature. The message is very credit
able paper, and while 1t may disap-
point the Pacific states, the rest of the
country will regard it as a correct ex.
preston OF the feeling of the country
at the unfairness and injustice with
which the Chinese are singled out as
the ono people TO whom the benefit OF
our institutions Is refused.

@"Col. Walter Scranton, of Ver-
gennes, 10 reported as quite likely to
be one of the Senators from Addison
county next fall. Well, his worst
fault Is his republicanism, and any
thing but Republican from that coun-
ty Is among the impossibles."
Thus saith the Montpelier Argus.
1t appears from other sources that Mr..
Scranton is "quite likely" TO be medi.
tating on the propriety Of injecting in.
to the composition of our state Senate a
little able license leaven. 1t is also re-
ported as "quite likely" that an assort-
ed lot of hotel keepers, saloonists,
street bottle sellers, and bummers gen.
orally, are highly in favor of the idea.
The Democratic and rum papers seem
TO think Mr.. Scranton has earned pro-
motion. We do moi know anything
about what is really proposed, but
judging from all that is said, there is q
clique crystallizing about Mr.. Scran.
ton. which recognizes In him an able
enemy of our prohibitory law, and
which proposes to use the people of
Addison county to put him In a posi-
lion where he can do effective work.
