The total tax which this company pays
for the last six months is S31, 263.72. The
amount originally reported for the last
six months, exclusive of the old Vermont
Central, was 81 4,5SS.40. The difference,
$16675 32, is in corrections made, but
chiefly in the tax paid by the old Central.
For the year, the Centrals system of roads
pays $43, 90l.6S. With the addition of
these later returns and those which are
still to come and are ascertainable, the
grand total is, in round numbers, $197, 900
for the year. The work of enforcing this
new and untried law was delicate task.
It has been accomplished in the face Of
direful predictions-offspring of vengeful
thoughts-of fierce lawsuits, ruinous legal
expenses, and state treasury supplied by
letting out the credit of the state to the
utmost length of the statutory tether
For the tact, patience and firmness with
which Commissioner Dillingham; has pur-
sued his difficult task and brought about
an uncontested obedience to the law, he
deserves unqualified commentator. The
committee of ways and means was largely
indebted to Ex-Governor j. Gregory
Smith for valuable suggestions and infor-
nation in constructing this scheme of
taxation. After the law was enacted, an
attempt was made by the railways and
other corporations to organize to resist its
enforcement. 1t was anticipated that the
president of the largest corporation, or
system of corporations, in the state, which
alone would pay large fraction of all the
taxes the law assessed, could be counted
on to head this movement. The con-
spirators reckoned without their host.
Governor Smith manfully declined to
enter the proposed combination, and it
failed utterly by reason of his loyalty to
the laws of his state. He has steadfastly
maintained his approval of the general
principle of the law, and, without whin-
ing or protests, insisted upon his deter.
mination to obey its strict letter and spirit.
1t is an act of simple justice to Governor
Smith that his course in respect to law
that has taken nearly two hundred thousand
dollars from the shoulders of the Taxpayers
of the state, of which sum the system Of
roads of which he is president pays nearly
one-fourth, should be understood by the
people. He has been manly and patriotic
in this matter, and though he has been
only good citizen, there is sometimes as
much merit in filling that Office creditably
as in discharging well the duties of gov
ernor or president.

Honor to Whom Honor.

"He laughs best who laughs last" So
think the friends and supporters of the cor
poration tax law who have read for more
than year past the jeremiads of the dole
full prophets, foretelling the troubles, litiga-
tions and deficiencies that were to attend
the attempted enforcement Of the Hooker
law" Supplementary to the splendid
showing of the first year of the operation
of the law, published in THE WATERMAN
of the 9th instant, and in vindication of
assurances given in these columns, we are
gratified to be able to state that additional
returns received, together with those
which are still withheld under an extern.
sion of time by the commissioner, will
make the grand total but little short of
two hundred thousand dollars. 1t was
stated in the returns previously published
that the Central Vermont had recalled the
reports 1t had made, for the correction of
errors, and that the tax on the earnings of
the Vermont Central for the second six
months, concerning which there was no
question, would be paid. On Monday
Commissioner Dillingham; received from
st. Adams the full and corrected returns
for the Centrals entire system of roads

Wholly Against His Wishes.

The st. Adams Messenger, which num-
bles "endless sleepy stories about moth.
ing" was induced, by casual editorial
note in the last issue of THE WATcHMAN,
to say:
"We understand that the use of Mr. Tyler's
name Is wholly against his wishes Without
meaning any disrespect to any candidate in the
field we should like to know what has become
OF The Wdtcltnldn's high-soUnding platform of
men of pre-eminent ability for governor and
men selected for their eminent fitness at the
head of state affairs of which it has had so
much to say for several weeks past. We think
1t would trouble The Waterman somewhat to
show that any candidate for governor, at pres
emit in the field, Is the superior of DR.. Nichols
in ability and large experience in state affairs.
The Wdtchndn has boosted much of late about
having living purpose in its political con-
duct; and from the outline that we have given
OF its present course on the governor question,
1t will readily be inferred that the chief end OF
its living purpose is anything to beat
Nichols In Its jealous efforts to accomplish
this object, The Wdtchnldn is certainly showing
itself more disingenuous than consistent"
1t is worthy of note that the in
slant the name of any man of distinc-
ton, or of acknowledged fitness, is men
toned in connection with the governor
ship, the recognized organs of the one
officially proclaimed candidacy raise the
cry that the use of his name Z" is wholly
against his wishes" How do these Or
gans so quickly understand the
"wishes" of this man and that man ?
Has every man of note in the state, and
particularly on the east side, been placed
under bonds not to allow his name to be
used against the man who, from the begin.
ming, has been foreordained for the gov
ernorship2 In view of these confident
proclamations Of the wishes " of differ.

REV. DR.. SIMEON GILBERT of Chicago,
Illinois, western editor of The Congrega-
tionalist, in recent letter from New Or
leans, Louisiana, to that paper, says {:
"The recent Copiah (Mississippi) out
RACES, which congressional committee
has been trying to investigate, were, as
have the best reasons for knowing, even
worse than has been represented. Men
there dare not tell all they know about it,
lest their heads presently be made of no
more use to their owners than ragged
hat blown off in hurricane. The pledge
of the national government to protect its
citizens is little more than a mockery
here. 1t is an object of defiance and con-
tempt, and the late decision of the su-
preme court does not tend to better the
case. 1t is taken, rightly or otherwise,
as giving to the worst forms of cruelty
and outlawry aid and comfort that was
not needed on that side of the race ISSUE"
But, nevertheless, DR.. Gilbert sees "a
great change is going on for the better,
even in Mississippi.

Edmunds and Lincoln.

The extracts from the press in different
parts of the country which have been
published in THE WAToHMAN from time
to time, show that the drift of republican
preference, so far as the newspapers cor
rectly report popular sentiment, decidedly
points to the nomination at Chicago of
George F. Edmunds of Vermont for presi-
dent, and Robert t. Lincoln of Illinois
for vice'president. In New York, in par
ticular, it has become evident that Ed
munds holds place in public confidence
that is as unique as the senator's position
has been amid the warning elements of
political life in Washington. Sumner
and Conkling and Blaine had their irrecon-
cilable antagonisms with presidents or
with each other. Personal ambitions and
resentments warped their judgments, con-
trolled their actions, and hindered or de-
stroyed their usefulness. Edmunds' bet
ter mental poise and calmer temperament,
his sincerity and singleness of purpose,
have saved him from personal or official
embodiment, and his inherent integrity
and independence have won the respect
and confidence of the whole nation. The
fact that he has had no ambition or aspi-
ration outside of the faithful and COM
plete performance of the high duties of
the senatorial Office. has saved him from
many a mistake into which his ambitious
colleagues have been impelled by the lust
of Office. The faithful and undivided
attention to his duties, coupledaStith the
astute lawyers keenness and peiyAration,
his tact, discretion, unrivalled powers in
debate, his statesman's breadth of view,
have stood him in better stead, there can
hardly be doubt, than the deep-laid
plots of brilliant and pushing aspirants
for presidential honors. These qualities
seem to make him the one man around
whom stalwarts and half-breeds and indie.
pendents meet and harmonize. He is not

THE Washington correspondent of the
Boston advertiser says General Grants
friends are urging upon him that the fight
at Chicago must come between Arthur
and Blaine, and his antipathy for the lat
ter should cause him to declare in Arthur's
favor. General Grant really believes, so
his closest intimates say, that Senator
Edmunds will be the best candidate for
the republicans to nominate, and he hopes
the convention will take that step. II
can be stated that, unless circumstances
greatly change before the Chicago con.
vention meets, Senator Edmunds will
write no letter of declination this year,
and that he will answer the call if the
convention concludes to nominate him.

THE subcommittee on the arrangements
of the national republican convention de-
cided at Chicago, last Monday, to hold the
convention in the auditorium of the ex-
position building, to be built for the May
musical festival. This will accommodate
eight thousand persons by utilizing the
galleries. 1t was decided, however, to
limit the issue of tickets to six thousand.
The tickets will be printed on steel plate
to prevent counterfeiting. The national
committee transferred the other prelimi-
nary details of the convention to CON-
mittee of citizens, who will at once begin
to raise money to meet all local expenses.
1t was determined not to sell tickets of
admission, as in 1880, if it could possibly
be avoided.

SOME of the state papers have been
making catechistic suggestions relating to
the temperance record of proposed candi-
dates for governor. This matter has been
given considerable prominence during the
past week. limitations, which have in
some instances assumed the shape of quite
positive declarations, have been made
that DR.. Nichols cannot "read his title
clear ~ to a nomination, if innocence of
violation of the prohibitory law is made
an indispensable condition to entry into
the executive chamber. The right of the
people to catechise is undeniable.

THE judiciary committee of the senate

THE judiciary committee of the senate
has reported favorably on the memorial
asking for the collection of marriage and
divorce statistics and Senator Garland,
from the committee, has introduced bill
providing for the collection, by the
bureau of statistics in the treasury de-
psrtment, of "the statistics of, and relat-
ing to, marriage and divorce in the several
states and territories and the District of
Columbia" The committee of the house
of representatives have agreed, we learn,
to report the same.

Mr. Editor My old minister used to say
that he never attempted to make and enforce
more than one point in a sermon. | ask
enough OF your space to do that and no more.
Has it occurred to you and your readers that
there is a striking analogy between the position
of Mr. Billings with reference to the governor
ship, and that of Senator Edmunds with refer
ence to the presidency? The latter says he is
not, and cannot consent to be, candidate for
president and gives his reasons. In equally
strong terms Mr.. Billings protests against the
use of his name for governor, and also gives
his reasons. There is the utmost sincerity and
frankness in both cases. The best sentiment
Of the country does not hesitate because Of
anything the senator says, but moves on with
determination TO accomplish his nomination,
believing that he is enough Of patriot to re-
spond II he is thus called So, in spite of Mr.
Billings protests and reasons, the people of
Vermont desire to make him governor, and
this feeling is as strong on the hilltops rs in the
valleys, in the backwoods as in the busy towns.

Selling to Decent People.

A Temperance discussion once sprang
up in a stage-coach, crossing the All
leghanies, and the subject was handled
without gloves. One gentleman main
tanned a sto;cal silence until he could en-
dure it no longer; then he broke out
st ongly, saying:
Gentlemen, / want you to under
stand that am a liquor Her. keep
a public-house; but l would have you
to know that have license, and keep
de ent house. L don't keep loafers
and loungefs about my place; and when
man has enough he can get no more
at my bar. / sell to decent people and
do respectable business.
When he hal delivered himself, he
seemed to think he had put a gu etus
on the subject, and that no answer
would be given. Not so tho1ght a
Quaker, who was one of the company.
Said he:
Friends, that is the most damning
part of the business. If thee would
sell to drunkards and loafers, thee
would help to kill off the race, and socie-
ty would be rid of them. But thee takes
the young, the poor, the innocent, and
the unsuspecting, and makes drunkards
and loafers of them; when their char
acters are gone thee kicks them out,
be finished off; and thee ensnares others
and sends them on the same road to
ruin. - Prohibition Banner.
