WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER "a, 1884.

THE Rutland Reuie,U wants to know
whether, =" in view of the fact that
when that party was in life and death
contest with deadly enemy, and,
further, that when it was generally adj
mitted that the effort of Senator Ed
munds would have turned the scales in
favor of the republican party, a refusal
to act on the part of Mr.. Edmunds can
be considered anything but treason?"
Except by those who have some special
partisan end in view, like the choice of
another man for senator, or the success
of some scheme to rob the government,
we do not know that it is admitted !"
at all, much less generally admitted,
that the effort of Senator Edmunds
would have turned the scales in favor
of the republican party" President
Arthur, it has been generally adj
mitted " by those who seek to defeat
his candidacy for the United States
senatorship from New York, or to
cover up the bad management of the
canvass, was the man whose efforts
might have turned the scales"; DIR.
Burchard is another whose efforts, it is
alleged, did turn the scales" and so
on. 1t is bad case of disagreement
among the doctors. The fact is, in
moment of mental alteration, the party
severed its jugular at Chicago, last sum-
mer, and the case was from that moment
beyond the skill of the best political
surgeons. The peace of the family
will not be improved or its future pros
perity consulted by attempts to punish
the doctors whose specifics could not
cure case of fatal injury. "Let us
have peace"

in Massachusetts, in 1883 amounted to
more than s2, 100, 900, a sum equivalent
to sixteen per cent on the grand list by
the Vermont ofreckoning. Asimi-
lar increase in the tax-rate in this state
would result from the adoption of the
Massachusetts, law. The Rural is
wrong when it says the discussion of
this subject may as well be allowed to
drop till the next legislature assemblies,
Discussion of this and other matters
between legislative sessions is the true
way to get wise and well-matured laws.

Der increased. Let these agencies
take the place of the "bloody shirt"
and in good time--sooner than by the
drastic specifics Of the politicans-the
solid South will cease to be a peril to
