Next Tuesday the frcemen of Gale
dOnia county will he called upon to
vote for state and county officers. OF
the result there is and can he no ques-
ton. Yet it behooves every man to
see that his name is checked on the
voting list when the polls are closed.
In this manner only can he discharge
the duties devolving upon him us a
citizen and as one who should be inter
ested in the offices being filled by those
best qualified to discharge their duties
The man who crOaks about the corrup-
ton of politics and absents himself
from the polling precinct has no right
to complain that corrupt and machi-
mating men profit by his absence and
run things to suit themselves. No
man performs his whole duty to him
self. his party and the community in
which he lives who does not exercise
his pTerOgatiVe as Il freeman. So next
Tuesday let Caledonia county poll its
full vote for the candidates for state
and county officers, and when the polls
are closed and the votes are counted,
if the result does not meet his highest
anticipationS, he at least has no cause
for self-rcproach for the result.

Who is Arab =!

Whatever may be the claim of Arab
Bey upon the world to be considered "a
great man or great warrior, he is a
much talked-abOut man. His history
and his apparent aims and purposes
are well discussed. Like some other
great men, so called, various national
tiles and sections are anxious to claim
the honor of his nativity. One ardent
Irish patriot claims he is Il Fenian,
another tells romantic and highly
improbable story about ingratiating
himself in the Egyptian favor by a
thorough mastery of the Koran and a
desire to deserve and receive political
advancement, and his Irish brOgue,
which would seem an impeachment, re-
ceived little attention, his knowledge
of Oriental affairs was so extensive.
The idea of this grand scheme of his
was, us claimed, to achieve power and
then enlist Egyptian sympathy in IA
vOr of his native country and involve
England in trouble, thus affording
another visionary opportunity for the
Irish to strike a blow against their OPP
pressOrs. Another story is that he is
an IOnian Greek, that his real name is
Nicolari Ourabi, and that he originally
came from the island of Zante. That
in 1888, he obtained Gle rkship in the
office of Il Greek firm in Cairo, and that
he was sent to Manchester, England,
and entered dry goods house as clerk
for the purpose of learning the Eng
lish language, eventually entering the
Egyptian service and obtaining high
rank under the Khedive. Well may
the world query as to what manner OF
man he is.

The Temperance Convention.

A quite full report of the mass tenn
perance convention held at this place
the 2Sth is given elsewhere. There
were two factions of the temperance
party present, those who wanted IA dis
tinct temperance ticket and those who
wished to work with existing parties
so long as such parties nominated I'M
Objectionable men. There were con
cessions made and the convention on
the whole was tOlerably harmonious.
The convention was consistent. Ii
mass convention. 1t was called a
temperance convention and after adopt
ing Mr.. Phelps resolution every man
nominated had to be endorsed by some
one present as practical temperance
man or his name was not considered.
We do not see what temperance men
could ask more.
1t will he noticed that the first five
men on the regular republican ticket
nominated Aug. Is were adopted as
the nominees of the temperance con-
vention. This was not done until ev-
cry one had been vouched for as IA
strictly temperance man by one or
more present. The last three officers
on the ticket are all different from
either the republican or democratic
nominees Isaac NJ. Smith, the nOmi-
nee for sheriff, is well known in the
county as IL reliable man and an excel
lent officer. Page, the candidate for
states attorney, is young man and
comparatively unknown. While the
convention would have been glad to
have nominated one of the leading
lawyers of the county no one could be
found filling the requirements who
would consent to stand. The Office of
states attorney is an important one
and it should be filed with as able
lawyers as there are at the bar.
The result of the convention cannot
he foretold in all its bearings. If one
result should be extra care in the flu
ture by political parties in seeing that
none but the best men get upon their
tickets the convention will not have
been held i'll vain.

The language of the statute in regard
to pay is as follows: "The salary of
the board and its officers shall be three
dollars day while engaged in the du-
ties of their appointment, and their
actual and necessary travelling ex-
penses." The Burlington Free Press
says that a messenger of the board
an office unauthorized by law-receiv-
ed $50 a day for five days, and also
says: ''The committee on debenture
commenced reckoning time from the
morning of Monday, the l4th inst, 1.-THE
day before the board assembled) and
thence continuously until the end OF
the 25th. They charge for every day
during the weeks recess, on the ground
that they were laboring in behalf OF
the state; and they also charge their
travelling expenses in going home after
the recess and in returning for the re-
assembling twice each way. There
can be no warrant for this. Neither
can there be any warrant for charging
for the day before the board began its
sessions. And no member of the board
will claim that he was occupied during
the entire recess in labOring for the
state-nOr one-quarter of them, judg-
ing by the results as developed in the
sessions of the board"

Political Boomerang.

1t is current on the street that some
opponents of Mr.. French, the candi-
date for Judge of probate, have prepar-
ed an an article for some of the county
newspapers to the effect that i'll the
settlement of one DOllOtf's estate in
Newark, illegal or exOrbitant charges
were made at the probate office. This
story was out more than week ago
and some people expected to see it pub
lished last week, but the managers OF
this attack upon Mr.. French have kept
it back until it will be too late for a
public denial in any county paper.
That is the "Open" way in which this
campaign against Mr.. French is being
conducted.
The facts of the case are briefly
these: In the settlement of very
complicated estate, extending over a
period of nine years of time, seven
of which the testatOr was in an insane
asylum and had guardian, involving
SOME lNt vi SlA bliC
total fees for administration, guardian
papers. recording, clerk hire, ETC.,
amounted to seventy-one dollars and
some cents. The settlement of the
estate was quite intricate and required
considerable clerical work. This was
done by the register at the guardian
request and was charged for by the
day the same as any lawyer, bOok-keep-
er or business man would have done.
This part was not legitimate work of
the probate office, but if an admins
TRAITOR or executor or guardian chooses
to employ the register to do clerical
work. he has right to. Had this work
been done outside of the probate office.
the cost would not have been reckon
ed AS paid at that office, but does any
one believe that the estate would have
saved anything by having it done else
where Not any.
The troubles in the settling of this
estate We're taken into the county court
and from there referred to Judge PO-
land. No illegality or irregularity was
found, nor would any ever have been
charged were not Mr.. French now can
didate for probate judge.
The whole matter is a little, mean
campaign trick which the authors hope
to spring upon the voters when too
late to be refuted. We shall be mis-

Free Men, Not HireIings.

1t is a significant fact that the peo-
pie, perhaps more generally than ever
before, are thinking of their duties and
privileges as freemen, and more fully
discussing ways and measures adopted
at conventions. In Addison county an
independent convention has been
called to put new county ticket in
nomination. In Franklin county con-
siderable dissatisfaction is manifested,
and temperance convention is talked
of. In Caledonia county a temperance
convention has been held. There is
trouble in Bennington and other cOun-
ties also. The prominent questions
are the pending constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors, and the
present tax law. The old idea which
has prevailed so long that voters must
support the nominations made in regu-
lar conventions is being rapidly ex-
plOded, and free men are coming to
exercise their right to vote for their
choice as free men, Newport Ex-
press.

was entertained toward Mr.. Blodgett,
the speakers did not consider his as
surance, in the absence of Il satisfacto-
~ record, sufficient to warrant them
in bestowing the nomination for this
important office upon him as an en-
couragement or as ''reward of merit
Mr.. Blodgett's name was voted upon
and was rejected, and Mr.. Page was
then made tie candidate. George H.

he declines to be a candidate for states

letter was handed into this office pur-
porting to be a copy of letter written
by Isaac NJ. Smith in which he also de-

Judge Poland.

We trust every republican vote in
this county will he cast for Judge Po-
land. His nomination was due mainly
to the high position he held in Con-
gress when there and the feeling
among the people that as we are to be
reduced to two members i'll the next
Congress, the interests of the state and
the district required that we should
send our strongest man. The univer-
sal rejoicing over his nomination by
the republicans throughout the county
shows the wisdom of the selection.
We have a high respect for General
Grout, and look for high political flu
ture for him and his refusal to allow
any use of his name after Judge Po-
lands nomination will add to the good
feeling for him in the time to come.
We hope that all past difficulties and
disagreements will be as Judge Poland
said in his acceptance speech, "blotted
out, and remembered no more forever
For the future credit and pride of the
state and especially of this county, we
hope lac may receive every republican
vote

State Equalization.

At the adjourned session of the state
equalizing board on Wednesday, Julius
n. North of ShOreham, for the commit
tee appointed to consider the returns
of the appraisers of railroad property
in the various towns. submitted the
report. 1t should be promised that
tirst-class railroad property is depots
and land adjoining; second-class is
parcels of land of more than ten acres
each third-class is road-beds. In
Caledonia county Barnet, first-class,
S3l00; Burke, tirst-class, $1,000; Dan
vile, tirst-class, $1,000; Hardwick,
tirst-class, Sl400; Lyndon, first-class,
$57 $50; secOnd-class, $1,000; st.
JOhnsbury, tirst-class, $3.50; Walden,
first-class, $500. The committee stat
ed that the report of the appraisers OF
third-class railroad property was en-
tirely omitted from the printed exhib-
its of Caledonia county, but have now
been furnished, and amount in all to
tooub tlb f-'b'D'
264.70, and that none of the towns in
Franklin county had reckOned into
their lists the appraisals of the road
bed of the st. JOhnsbury and Lake
Champlain railroad, upon the ground
that it had been exempted from taxa
ton for eight years after its opening
for traffic. and the time had not ex-
pired. All questions of railroad APP
praisal were again referred to the com
mittee on that subject, which was in
creased in membership from three to
five, of which committee j. G. HOvey
of st. JOhnsbury is member.
The consideration of the appraisal OF
the estimates of the various counties
was resumed, and the appraisal of Or
leans county, S5,796, 945, was raised
five per cent, which increase was
moved by Mr.. Hovey. The appraisal
of Rutland county, SI5 ,562, O26.72, was
left unchanged.
The committee on the appraisal OF
railroad property, by Mr.. North, re-
ported that there be exempted from
taxation until August 1885, all railroad
property in Fletcher, Bakersfield, Fair
field, Sheldon, Highgate and Swanton,
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad, which was adopted.
The appraisal of Washington coun-
ty, S9,043,3 1853, was reduced five pei
cent; Windham, $500, 1919, I'M
changed; Windsor, SI0,662, 57l.95,
raised five per cent.
On Friday morning the following
resolution was adopted
Resolved, That the State Board OF
| Equalization should not only have au-
thOrity to equalize the real estate by
counties, as now provided by law; but
should have the same power and au-
thOrity to review the action of the
county equalizing conventions in the
equalization of real estate as between
the several towns of a county, when it
shall appear that a grievance has
arisen by the action of said county
equslizing convention.
The amended valuation of Franklin
county was left unchanged. Mr.. How
ey's travelling expenses were fixed at
1855. The board voted themselves
twelve days pay apiece, at three dol
lars day, besides travelling expenses.

The Effect of the Destinations.

Appearances indicate that Frank NJ.
Page and Isaac NJ. Smith have been
"seenn and the result is that they both
decline the offices for which they were
nominated 10y the convention on Mon
day. Mr.. Smiths letter (which he
never wrote) is elaborate and evident
ly got up for political effect.
One result we anticipate from these
destinations is an increase in the num-
Der of Temperance cranks." The ma
jority of temperance people are not
unreasonable. The speech of Prof
Henry Fairbanks in the Monday con-
vention was candid and convincing
and all concessions were made that
any reasonable man could ask. But
when prominent and trusted men can
not be found who dare let their names
come before the voters of Caledonia
county unless they have first been en-
dorsed by the political ring every de-
cent man in the republican party is
Disguised, and a great many will be
ready TO cut entirely away from such a
boss-ruled and corrupt organization
These are plain words. The Occa-
sion demands them. When political
iunto not only dictate who shall be
candidates for Office but also who shall
not il should not be very long befor,
the people take matters into their OWL
hands.

The Crops.

The Springfield Republican of Satur-
day contained reports from a large
number of correspondents in Massa-
chusetts, Vermont and Connecticut.
These reports are generally favorable,
and the advices from Vermont are in
many respects very gratifying. The
best crops are, AS Il rule, found on the
river farms, the hill farms having suf-
fered most from want of rain. The
whole eastern section of the state is
dry and dusty, and was not materially
improved by the recent light showers
In Windham county hay is more
than an average, but the rowen is a
failure. Corn is fair, and potatoes
twenty-five per cent below the aver
age. Apples will fall some thirty five
to forty per cent below the average.
Oats and barley are good and will av-
erage well, tobacco is good but back
ward, and the crop depends upon how
long the early frosts hold off.
In Windsor county the hay crop is
twenty-five per cent above the aver
age. In the southern part of the county
there will be only half crop of corn,
but in the northern part the crop bids
fair to be the largest ever harvested.
Oats will be heavy in straw and grain,
potatoes more abundant than for many
years, barley, wheat, oats and rye have
yielded well, apples will not yield as
well as was promised early in the sea-
son, but there will be as many as last
year.
In Rutland county the condition of
the crops is very good, on the whole.
Oats, barley and other grains are fine
and there is fair prospect for corn.
Early potatoes were good, but the late
crop is small and poor. A small crop
of apples, and the hay crop is good.
In Caledonia county the hay crop is
much less than the average but better
than the crop of last year. Wheat, oats
and barley are above the average.
The potato crop will be light, though
possibly little better than that of last
year. Corn will be much below the
average and the frost must hold off till
the middle of September to permit ear
ing. The pastures are very dry and
afford but little feed and farmers are
feeding their COWS IN corn
In Bennington county the potato
crop is materially damaged. The grain
crop is good, and corn is heavy and of
large acreage. The apple crop was
injured by the early frosts. The hay
crop is an average one, but the second
crop is light.
In Orange county the crops average
well. The late frosts of last spring
killed the clover out entirely, and the
hay crop will, therefore, he less heavy
than usual, but its quality is superior
Potatoes, corn, wheat, rye, barley and
oats are doing well, though fortnight
late. Oats, wheat, barley and corn
were beaten down by recent violent
showers, but are coming up again.
In Washington county the acreage
of corn and potatoes is little larger
than it was last year, and both crops
promise well. Potatoes are better than
last year in quality. The hay crop
was of average size and better than or
binary quality.
