Our people are certainly eating pure candies
and other sweets now, for the very excellent
reason that sugar is so exceedingly cheap that
nothing can be made by adulterating it. The
backbone of the sugar market was broken by
the great quantity thrown upon it by the Ger
man beet-sugar growers, who have been greatly
stimulated in their production through the
heavy bounty given by their Government
Thus it was that fair refining sugar, which
sold in 1880 for II cents, only brought 81 cents
last February, and in June had fallen to Al.
allowed to run to waste. The great cheapness
has stimulated consumption, so that the aver
age per month in this country has risen from
$1,000 tons last year to 10000 this. Every
thing points to the probability that this abb
normal eheapness viii not long continue. The
Germans are taking action to lower the sugar
bounty, and there viii probably be decrease
in the cane planted in Cuba, so that, with an
increased consumption and decreased produc-

ard. We have strong interest in this. In
the first place, the people of the United States
are the largest sugar-eaters in the world, and
we have an interest in their getting sugar as
cheapiy as possible. On the other hand, the
sorghum and glucose interests are enormous
and were rapidly growing until Frustrated by
the depression in the sugar market. A normal
and healthy price will revive them and give
| them fresh impetus.

THE OFFICERS of the Devonia, the ship
which we stated last week was detained in the
port of New York because they had connived
at the landing of a pauper immigrant named
Rosenstein, were at first quite impudent. They
talked very insultingly about the course of the
officials in ordering the detention of their ship
and announced that they proposed to sail on
Saturday whether the officials permitted them
or not. But at last their common sense asserted
itself. and they offered the Treasury Depart

Counting the average family at five, it will be
seen that the average Frenchman has to pay
$3.50 a year for the support of the army, and
the average German $10S5.
The expense of supporting the Navy is in adj

week, or $52,Ooooo0 year, ON her Navy, and

OUR OLDEST CITY.

Dr.. A. G. Comstock, of Silver Cliff, Colo, and
10th Conn. during the war, is gentleman of
high scientific attainments, and has a taste for
antiquarian research. He has been surveying
the natural basin or park, called by Hayden the
!" Wet Mountain Valley" and comes to the con-
clusion that he has discovered the site of city
older than any other on the continent-older
than ST. Augustine Santa Fe, Tucson or Pueblo
much older than the Indians whom the
whites found in occupancy of the country when

of the Greenbaum Range, and dominates a great

These works command the only water supply for
miles between these and Grape Creek. These ruins

the remotest antiquity, that when Ulysses was
struggling amid the islands OF the Adriatic Sea
this chief was the controlling spirit of the immense
lake which extended over the valley from above
Colony Greek to the natural barrier about Fort
Custer, near Dora. For at that time the water had
not broken through and the east shore was formed
by the shoulder which now borders Grape Greek

the west winds, of an about 90 miles in length

UNFRATERNAL SPIRIT,

1t would be strange indeed if, in even so en-
inently satisfactory meeting as the recent
National Encampment at Minneapolis, there
could not be found something to be strongly
condemned. That something was the repeti-
ton of the conduct and practices which had
given SO much grief to all true and loyal COM
rades of the GAR. at the previous Encamp-
ments at Denver and Baltimore.
Itwas the introduction of disgraceful personal
detraetion and villifcation into the canvass
for Commander in Chief This was done to an
extent that alarmed every well-wisher of the
Order and the necessity for an immediate and
stern check to such shameful practices was ap-
parent to ALL
Partizans of several of the candidates forgot
entirely that fraternity and comradeship
which are the very foundation of the Order
and its strongest injunctions, and displayed a
yirulence and recklessness in slandering candi-
dates that would have been disgraceful in a
primary" of downtown ward. Their brains
were busy inventing and their nimble tongues
in circulating the foulest charges against any
man who seemed TO stand in the way of their
special candidate
1t was earnestly hoped by those who were
panied by the employment of such abhorrent
tactics at Baltimore and Denver, that future
Encampments would see less and less of them
until they were finally extinguished entirely,
There were sufficient grounds for the expecta-
ton that this evil would cure itself, as Others
had cured themselves; as the Order grew and
strengthened the ties of comradeship became
closer knit, and all in it gained clearer per
ceptions of the relations of the members to one
another.
These pleasant hopes were sadly disappointed
by the manifestations at Minneapolis which
obnoxious experiences.
This brings the Order squarely face to fac'
| with grave problem. This sort Of thing mus
be stopt, and it must be stopt at once and def
nitely. In word, the Order must lay upon i
hand so crushing that the thing viii b
| throttled out of existence, and forever. 1t vii
not do to merely express decided disapproyal,
or to strongly condemn" The reckless ira
ducing OF comrade must be made crime, ant
crime to be sternly dealt with.
Our belief as to the most effective wa,
of furnishing this wilful injury agains
comrades and the dignity and well-being o
the Order, is to put it in the power of the Ma
tional Encampment to summarily dismiss o
expel any man found guilty of the offense. i
order that no injustice may be done it shoul
be provided that it shall require two-third
or thrce-q quarters vote to make such expulsion
but when the power is once acquired by th
, National Encampmenti it should be used sternl
and impartialiy until the last yestige of thi
, detestable practice is stamped out. 1t will re

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-10-15

all things that conduce to the moral
and material prosperity Of the state
should be undertaken with deliberation
and good judgment, and pursued with
energy and persistence. Political usage
in Vermont has been all against any
such conception of the qualifications or
the functions of chief magistrate.
The Office appears to be regarded rather
as the toy of politicians, sort of gilded
bauble to be passed around among the
elect. The governor is fgure-head
where he should be living reality, the
vigilant guardian of the body polite,
sworn and commissioned by all legal
and constitutional means to advance its
highest interests" If the state should
pay its governor liberal salary, as
large at least as some of his subordi-
mates receive, instead of perfunctory
discharge of technical duties-which is
all that can be reasonably expected
from an executive with salary that is
merely nominal-the people would be
in a position to insist that " the time
of the governor belongs to the state"
and that he should devote himself to
the discovery and employment of "many
ways outside his strictly technical du-
ties TO promote the interests and good
name of the commonwealth" We
hope Senator Gibbs bill will be passed.

with it's monotonous round Of matter
of-fact duties and United States sena-
torship with It's brilliant possibilities
was presented to Prentiss, Phelps, Col
lamer or Poland, does any one suppose
that his decision was decisively inhu-
enced by any considerations affecting
the salary of the judgeship? No salary
in the power of the state to give could
have chained these aspiring spirits to
the Vermont bench with its humdrum
life. 1t is noticeable also that the
period of the greatest distinction Of the
supreme court judges was the period of
low salaries; that deterioration in
quality" if there is any, has begun
since the allowance of the increased
salaries No inducement the state can
give would attract Stewart or Phelps or
Edmunds or any lawyer of their caliber
to the bench. Judicial consideration of
the question whether Smith has cheated
Jones in horse trade, the settlement
of pauper case, the adjustment of the
petty matters of dispute that make up
the bulk of court business in state like
Vermont, have no charms for men who
are giants at the bar and in the forum.
1t is idle to think of attracting men like
these to the bench and retaining them
there by the addition of a few hundred
dollars more or less to the salary of the
judgeship. 1t is equally absurd to COM
parR the salary of supreme court
Judge with the salary of an officer hav-
ing similar title in New York. The
Empire State has many courts. An
exceedingly small proportion of the
cases tried by the Vermont court could
ever reach the highest tribunal of New
York. The Vermont judicial tub must
stand on it's own bottom. The salary
of the judges must be decided at home,
not elsewhere. The best lawyers have
generally been very eager to reach the
bench. Voluntary retirements by men
of sufficient ability have been rare, and
we do not apprehend that the bench
will greatly suffer in the future, even
should the salary remain at the existing
| figures,
