Current Opinion.

WANTS TO KNOW WHERE WE STAND.
We have some curiosity to know
which of the two divergent positions
the Republican party is hereafter to
occupy. Is it with President Hayes
for the reform of the civil service, OF is
it with President Arthur for making
this service vast partisan leverage to
control the future political action of
the country We ask the question
with some degree of doubt as to the
answer, because we recall that one af-
ter another of the Republican cOnven-
tiOns, which met after the civil ser
vice order was issued, passed resolu
tons cordially approving of it. Other
Republican conventions are about to
be held; and it is a pertinent ques-
ton in party policy whether they are
to stand where they stood in 1877, or
whether they are to approve, with
equal cOrdiality, the about-face under
President Arthur's administration. 1t
is none to early to be asking the ques-
ton, if the party is to escape what may
prove to be an awkward tergiversa-
ton on Il question which many persons
believe to be the only live issue re-
naming i'll the politics of this country.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN VERMONT.
Some one not well informed has as
serted that only five women voted in
school meetings i'll Vermont this year,
and the Boston Herald thinks this a
strong argument against woman suf-
frage. On the contrary, since there are
more suffrage women than that in al
most every town in Vermont, is not the
smallness of the vote Il protest against
the half concession of what they con-
slider Il full right ? Still, the fact re-
mains that il majority of women are Ell
Their Indifferent or opposed. 1t could
not well be expected to be otherwise.
All reforms are necessarily education-
al. If woman suffrage is Il reform, the
demonstration of it will take place
when generation has been trained to
the idea. The fact that in the country
ut large the cause gains instead of
loses is Il conclusive answer to the
| Herald's inference from an individual
case Col. Clarke's Boston Sunday
| Times.

deny that they could easily learn to
do the work. They would herd like
so many cattle, eat and sleep on the
shop benches and subsist on the plain
est kind of food. And if they were
proprietors of the establishment 1t
would be hard to draw the distinction,
in the manner of living, between the
proprietor and the artisan. 1t has
taken the people of California 30 years
to learn the true character of these peo-
pie and | fear that before our Eastern
neighbors realize the situation as we
do, the garden spot of the American

Russian OuIrages.

Russia appears to be emphatically
AN Internal region for the Jews. The
horrible stories of outrages some weeks
ago upon this people by bigoted and
Infatuated Russian mobs, are supple
mrnted 10y further reports of attroci-
ties in the same line ut Balta. Two
thousand Jewish families were ruined.
Whole streets of houses were wrecked.
The plundering lasted two days The
riots almost assumed the character of
struggle for the humiliation of the
Jews, the assailants being the peasants
from the neighborhood of the town.
llopolo. near Odessa. was also surpris
ed 10y peasants presumably under the
leadership of nihilists. The houses of
Jews were sacked. and the town was
partially burned.
The Russian authorities are either
helpless OF Indifferent, but whichever
term applies to them, they are deeply
in the wrong and deserve only the Sc
vrrest condemnation of every nation
on the globe which delights i'll mercy
aud fair play. With all his boosted
autocratic power, with his iron rule
and dcspotic management of affairs.
there is not the slightest excuse for
the Emperor of Russia if he further per
mitS such atrocities. which have no
foundation in reason, but spring al
most entirely from Il narrow prejudice
and Il tirndish hatred of the Jews.

The Vergennes Method.

:. ;. Gaines, of the Stevens House
at Nergennes, over whose prosecution
there has been so much of local up
roar, was tried last week before a us
tees jury, for rum selling. A dozen
witnesses. who have the reputation of
being regular customers, were gather
ed i'll before they knew it. OF these
three. strange to relate, remembered
having drank - separate times at
Gaines and so swOre. The defense
put in no defense, but took the ground
that inasmuch as Gaines had pleaded
guilty to 30 Offenses on March 10, fur
ther prosecutions for crimes before
that date were barred. The prOsecu-
ton showed the falsity of this claim
from the revised version" of the stat
utes, which especially say that such Il
Judgment ''shall not he a bar to subse-
Quent prosecutions and also from the
opinions of the supreme court, all i'll
the same direction. Justice l.. +.
Knapp of Middlebury charged the jury
to convict, but they with great una
nimity acquitted the respondent, thus
practically over-ruling the law and the
evidence.

An Elected POIygannist.

For compelling the polygamOus Nor
mon delegate Cannon to give up his
seat in the House of Representatives,

American people. The election of
Cannon is strictly in accord with the
principles of the Edmunds anti-polyg-
amy bill, and is one great step i'll the
practical application of the bill to the
Since Cannon's expulsion events
have occurred which seem to prove be
yond Il doubt that he WAS peculiarly
out of place i'll the House, and rather
deserves summary dealing at the hands
of Justice. The New York Tribune
publishes a sworn statement by AdOlph
Rain, Il Mormon living i'll Utah, who
SAYS that in March, 1853, Cannon urged
him to murder Altman W. Rabbit, then
secretary of the territory of Utah.
Cannon told him that, according to the
doctrine of blood atOnement practlccd
hv the church, Babbitt must he killed
for otfemses against the church and
that he (Razin) as Babbitt's best friend
and "A 81. eN ite' in the church must shed
his blood. Babbitt ut that time con-
templated journey to Washington,
and Cannon urged Rain to accompany
him for the purpose of finding an OPP
portunity to murder him. Rain in
dignantly refused To commit the muir
der. Bahbitt was assassinated, how
ever, in the autumn of 1856 as he Ra-
zin) believes at the instigation of Can
non aud in accordance with the Nor
mon doctrine of blood utonement. The
Tribune publishes several atiidavits IL
show that Rain is Il man of veraclty
and good repute.

The sutton, =. O., Murder.

The remains found last week in the

ly those of a young Englishman nam
ed Joseph jackson, who arrived i'll
Canada the middle of last summer.
A man bearing that name and wearing
dress similar to that found Oh and
near the body is remembered by a

boarded at Sweetsburg hotel for a

have been present at the Sweetsburg
races the last of July. Shortly after
ward the young Englishman disap-
