While the result of the conference of
independents at Montpelier Tuesday
will be disappointing to some who
wished a change made in the state
ticket so they could know who is who,
the wisdom of the decision under the
circumstances will be generally adj
mitted. The fact that there is no or
ganization outside of Windham coun-
tv, and that the time between this and
next Tuesday to or anize and distrib-
ute votes is too short, is apparent to
all who stop to consider. NOtwith-
standing, the duty of those who OPP
pose Mr.. Blaine from principle is just
as plain. The Blaine managers of the
state and country "catch on" to the
situation very readily. They under
stand that an increased majority fol
Col. Pingree in Vermont next Tues
day means IL boom for Blaine in all the
doubtful states at the November cleo
ton. The Blaine managers are work
| ing the Vermont state election thi'
year for "moral effect on other states
! They don't care Il straw how the indie
pendents of this state vote in NOvem-
Der, if they will only vote for Pingre'
next Tuesday, so they can herald thu
usual republican majority Throughout
the country.
Under the circumstances the Onl,
way for independents to make thei
strength known is to refuse to vote TO
Pingree ut all, or substitute som,
other name for his on the regular re
publican ticket. If one thousand in
dependents in Vermont should refus,
to vote the state ticket, it will reduce
the republican majority one thOusan,
votes. If they exercise their right u
suffrage and substitute some othe
name for Pingree,s, they will reduc
the majority two thousand. In tn
words of the resolution adopted, it i
left to the conscience of each voter t.
act in such a way rs will in his judg
ment best advance the cause. Yet
any one wishes to oppose Mr.. Blaine
he mnst do it next Tuesday in one a
the ways above Indicated.

Beware Of split Tickets.

A democrat of this town is busily
engaged in circulating tickets for state

As Mr.. Peek is the regular democrat

Senator Edmunds' Silence.

The silence of Senator Edmunds in
the campaign has been very signifi-
cant, in view of the strenuous efforts
put forth by the republicans to poll a
large vote for the state ticket next
Tuesday, in order that the result might
be accepted as an endorsement OF
Blaine in the state of Edmunds. His
silence could lie construed in no other
light than of hostility to the republi-
can candidate for president. When il
was announced that he would preside
at Blaine and Logan rally at Bur
lington on Tuesday, 1t was thought by
sanguine republicans that he would at
last break the Ominous silence by en-
dorsing Blaine's candidacy. His re-
marks on taking the chair were as
follows:

COld-BIoOded Murder ut Mont
DelieE.

The store kept by Daniel Carr on
South Main street, Montpelier, was the
scene, Saturday morning, of tragedy
that started the whole community.
Between the hours of nine and ten,
while Mr.. Carr was seated ut his desk
in the store, Clark w. Sanders, a farmer
of East Montpelier, stepped in and
drawing a revolver fired three shots,
hitting Carr each time in the neck and
killing him almost instantly. Sanders
walked quietly into the street and was
Immediately arrested and lodged in
Jail. Carr's bleeding body was removed
to his rooms and post norton exam
nation was made by DR.. j. f. Macon
Der. One of the balls came out through
the side, and the neck of the dead man
appeared to have been broken by one
of the shots.
Sanders bore deadly hatred of Carr
on account of alleged improper intima-
cy between Carr and his wife. Carr
brought Sanders wife to Montpelier
from Massachusetts little over year
ago. Afterwards she hired as house
keeper to Sanders, who married her IA
twelvemOnth since. They had child,
who is with Sanders brother. There
had been suspicious, perhaps knOwl-
edge, on Sanders part that his wife
was not true, and some unhappiness in
the family was the result, which, it is
reported, eliminated on Friday, the
day before the tragedy. Mrs. Sanders
went to Montpelier Friday and is
known to have sought legal counsel.
From this fact and subsequent events
the natural inference is that Mrs. San
ders threatened to procure divorce
with purpose to live with Carr, and
that Sanders was thus driven to des-
peratiOn. 1t may be of interest to
note that Carr's wife dropped dead Il
few weeks ago.
On Saturday morning Sanders drove
to Montpelier, went to the gun shop OF
Blanchard Brothers, purchased re-
volver of twenty two calibre, put three
cartridges in the same and proceeded
to Carr's store, where he found the lat
ter seated at his desk doing business
with two ladies. He drew the revolver
and shot Carr as before stated. After
his arrest Sanders expressed the hop,
that he had done Il complete job, anC
, when told that Carr was dead, said he
was satisfied, and charged Carr witt
/ running his family. Sanders is thirty
five or forty years old. Carr was abou
5 sixty. An inquisition in the affair viii
be had ut the earliest practicable mo
I ment before Justice w. G.. Ferrin.

INDEPENDENTS IN VERMONT.
The independent leaven seems to be
working in Vermont. The
movement for an Independent state
ticket does not arise from any objection
to Col. Pingree, the republican candi-
date for governor, but from convic-
ton that the only way to make the
hostility in the state to Blaine felt is to
give it organization and active force.

THE HoRRID CHECKERS" AGAIN.
Mr.. Harrison the republican can
didate for governor of Connecticut
scarcely needs any introduction he is
clean handed lawyer of high standing
in his profession and personally and
universally liked; he represents the
scholar more than that character is
usually represented in politics he is
not rich, and he is running almost
wholly because of popularity achieved
in minding his own business. That is
giving the man pretty good ''charac-
ter" but no better than he deserves.
The republican party in the state is to
be congratulated on having declined
to nominate golden calf, and not a
little of this good result is due to the
vigorous kicking in some of the eau
cuses against such n pOlicy.-[Spring-

vERMoNT's CORY RECORD.
The latest thing on Vermont's muir
der calendar-the shooting of Carr at
MOntpelier-was as deliberate and
cold blooded as could be imagined,
and is "A terrible illustration of the
pitch to which ones passion can be
aroused. The familiar story of domes-
tic unhappiness, the intrusion of a third
party, and the resultant jealousy which
finds satisfaction only in a deed of
blood, is repeated. The bitterness in
the soul of the murderer is not subdued
when the fatal shot is fired, but he ex-
ults in the death of the victim and pro-
fesses not to shrink from the cOnse-
quences of the act. Coming, as this
event does, SO close upon the fiendisb
murder of Krause, it may well startle
the people of the entire state who will
begin to tbiuk that Vermont is con-
tributing rather too many episodes of
! this sort to the criminal history of the
country.-[St. Adams Messenger.

Gov. Farnham's majority four years
ago was 25,0I2. Col. Pingree's popu-
Iarity with the soldiers and Others
would naturally increase his majority
at least "a thousand votes over Farm
hams. Take into account the fact
that the democrats have really made
no campaign in this state this summer,
and one would suppose Pingrec's ma
iority might Ice still larger than the
above estimate. If Pingrcc'S majority
falls short of that of four years ago
the reason will be Obvious; while. il
he equals the vote of four years ago
in view of his strength as candidate
the vote cannot be accepted as an en-
dorSement of Blaine.

1t is said that Mr.. Blaine intends to
push his suit against the Indianapolis

and will testify in the case. He will
doubtless improve the opportunity by

We are glad that the action has been
brought, as newspaper scandal-mon-
gers should be Taught that they cannot
bring such serious charges against the
private life of public men without be

Blaine is so improbable that it is re-
ceived with little credence. Were it
so, the opponents of Mr.. Blaine would
have no occasion to resort to this
species of warfare. As it is, they are
quite content to rest their case on his
public career, as in that is found good
and sufficient reasons why he should

asphaltum being a natural product. Gas
tar, as it comes from the gas works, is used
for various purposes, among others, for the
preservation OF timber, especially fences
and fence posts, Tor making of roofing com
position, and IN laying what are called
asphalt walks. We have had complaints,
that it appeared to be of little value in pre-.
serving wood, aud several have inquired as
to the proper method Of using it. 1t is not
unlikely, as there arc different kinds Of
coal used used in gas making that the tar
varies greatly in its properties. In Eng
land, where it is much more used than
with us, one writer recommends as follows:
Three gallons Of coal tar, IN an iron kettle,
is set over a slow fire aud allowed to sim
mer tor about an hour. This should be
done in the open air, as there is danger Of
its taking fire. After it has simmered for
this time, add handful Of fine quick lime
and stir we'll together. RemoYe from the
FIRE, and add a quart of benzino or naphtha
or sufficient to make Il work well from a
brush. The coal-tar thus prepared i,

The writer says; 1.-TWO coats will do, and
will make any kind Of wood proof from al

to make use of the tar as it comes from th,
