Although the rumor of an agreement
between France and china is not conf med,
the indications are that one will be reach
ed presently Every day dispatches come
from Paris announcing that a friendly
adjustment of the differences between
the two nations is considered probable.
As no facts are given as basis for the
assertion, probably wish for peace is
the father, of the rumor. There is feeling
of uneasiness in the French chamber of
deputies at the prospect of a serious cam
paign in Tonquin which the ministry has
quickly perceived, and change in the
tone of official utterance therefore is
noticeable. China, for Der part, breads
complications with Europe, and the con
ciliatory statements of Marquis Tseng
indicate that the authorities at Peking
would not object to peace with honor. But
it is hard TO see how any compromise can
be arranged without concessions on both
sides which neither will like to make. M
Challeme Lacour will have TO take back
his assertion that China's suzerainty over
Anam cannot be recognized by France
and the Celestial Empire will have te
deviate considerably from the policy Of
preventing foreign trade except at Sc
ports.

SOUTH AMERICAN SLAvERY.-The rub.
Der fields of Benz, Bolivia, are rapidly
being destroyed, and it is anticipated that
very shortly there will be no more trees
to chop down. The greatest lawlessness
prevails in the department. Indians are
openly captured and forced to work OF
sold into slavery. These Indians wher
not employed in the immediate vicinity
are sold off in droves to work on planta
tons in the heart of Brazil. Regular
Shaving expeditions visit many unexploreC
tributaries CT the Amazon and cruelties as
horrible as were ever penetrated during
the days of the African slave trade, arr

which joins the Madeira, tributary o

A Senatorial Contest.

New Hampshire fixed over her constitu'
ton while ago and provided for iennia
elections. The state now holds its election
in November of the "even years. and the
legislature does not meet till the June
after it is elected. By United States law
United States senator is to be chosen by
that legislature of q state which is elected
next preceding the beginning of the sena
tors term.
so the legislature of New Hampshire
has very wisely voted that it will not
elect n successor to Mr.. Blair whose term
expires in 1885, considering that the
legislature which will be elected in 1884
and will meet in June, 1885, is the proper
body to perform that duty. That was
common sense and good law in spite oil
the fact that Mr.. Blair wanted to be re.
elected at this session and got the repub
lcan caucus to give him nomination.
Enough independent republicans voted
with the democrats to defeat the proposed
flrcical election and Mr.. Blair will have
to carry on his especial line of statesman
ship couple of years longer without
being voted for again. But Mr.. Blail
with all his eccentricties makes pretty
good senator and is good deal more of a
man than his colleague, L. H. Rollins
who is a cheap politician well versed il
little tricks to get popularity.
A successor to Mr.. Rollins is to bt
elected this session and the legislature has
been voting week with out result. Rol
Inns had things fixed for his denomination
but though he carried the caucus, enough
republicans had got sick of him to defea
an election. They staid out of the caucus
and will not be bound by it.
1t would be good thing if the republi
cans of that state would elect man O
ability like Chief Justice Doe. They have
had Wadleigh and Rollins neither of them
sizeable men, and change would be tc
the credit of the state.

The LAFAYETTE Statue.

Yesterday Burlington had great turn
out of people-25, 900 or SOTO see tho
unwilling of the Lafayette statue and the
relaying of the corner stone of the univer
sity. The s.one was the same laid by
Lafayette June 20. 1925.
The statue by j. @. A. Ward is thu
gift of Burling' on's generous citizen, J
p Howard, and worthy the giver and tbt
man it commentaries. Lafayette would
have been the Washington of France had
the people of that country permitted,
He was good, great man and his
goodness and principle were what stood
in the way of his leading France to take
her place by the side of America as a
republic or a kingdom governed by th,
popular will. When he came here in tn,
revolution he was mere boy but nineteen
and left his young wife and the career
that his place among the mobiles of France
promised him to take his chances with
''rebels."
He left France before that country was
committed to the American cause but
before the close of the revolution, was
popular in France as we'll as here-both
with the government and people. When
the French revolution broke out he was
prominent in leadership and had his coun-
sells been followed the reign of terror
would have been avoided.
He fled from France when 35 years old
because he would not consent to 90 with
the violent men who were all for blood,
The Austrians took him prisoner and con-
fined him at Olmutz for five years when
he was released by Napoleon. But his
principles forbade him to be follower OF
his rescuer and he took no part in the
government during the empire. In the
revolution of 1880 he was prominent and
commanded the national guard though
then past three score. He died May 20,
1884, at the age of seventy.siX
In 1924, by invitation of congress he
visited America and in June, 1925 came
into Vermont at Windsor, came through
Royalton and Randolph to Montpelier and
went from here to Burlington, where, on
the goth of June he laid the corner stone
at the University and then went his way
to Troy.
MANY of our citizens remember the
reception here, one of them, Mr.. Walton
having been captain of a company of lads
who took part in the ceremonies. Lafay
cites journey was triumphal one, and i
was himself-the man--that made it so
The friend of Washington-and like hin
the people delighted to do him honor il
his old age.
One of his kind acts was the paymen
of debt which released an old soldier
Gen. Barton, from imprisonment in Dan
vile Jail. The man who came to America
a boy and whose manhood came to hin
when he fought in the dark days of thu
revolution, finally left our shores in Sep
TENDER 1926. The United States gave hin
township of land and couple of hun
dred thousand dollars then. But MIR
Towards gift and its reception show tina
he had lasting place in the affection q
Americans though generations change
His life was one of the most romantic il
history and he deserved his good fortune
and the serene days that came to him a
the close of his career.
