The surrender of Riel-who gave him
self up on Friday, having been assured of
protection and II fair trial by the Dominion
authorities by General Middleton-ends
the Northwestern rebellion. 1t has been
quite an exciting experience for our
northern neighbors, while it lasted. But
it was mad attempt, doomed from the
start to certain and speedy defeat. Mr..
Riel will now probably be put, or sent,
where he will have no opportunity to re
peat experiments of the kind. Having
quelled the rebellion, it is to be hoped that
the Dominion will remove the causes of
just complaint, on the part of the half
breeds, which occasioned the outbreak

Washington County Musical FESTIVAL
County Court.

The musical festival began at Mont
peler Friday afternoon with the
general rehearsal. All the arrange
ments are complete and very salts
factory, 1t is an interesting fact apropos
of this convention that almost exactly
forty-siX years ago the first musical con-
vention ever held in Vermont and prob
ably in the Union was held at this place.
Moses +. Cheney. the veteran music
teacher and Hon. +. =. Walton, were par
ticipators The lovers of music of Wash
ington county would be delighted could
arrangements be made for monthly con
certs. We have a few leaders here whose
talent would be appropriated and some
effort should be made to make music more
of an art of public pleasure.
The May term of Washington County
Supreme Court opened Tuesday with
Judges Taft, Rowell and Wheeler sitting.
The docket contains only twenty-one
cases, and adjournment will probably be
had Wednesday. Two cases, Jerry Har-
rigan VS.. Daniel Bacon and Nathaniel
Perry vs. Fri Morse, were heard, and sew
eral disposed of. The rest will go over TO
the general term.

The new administration has had to take
the back track in several directions since
it started out on the straight and narrow
path of reform. Shortly after the inaug-
uration it was given out that a part of the
force at the White House would be dis
charged for the sake of economy. 1t has
been discovered that even the old force will
not be enough to keep up with the work
devolving upon the President and his
helpers and the ranks are being filled up
again. Meanwhile Mr.. Lamont has work
ed himself sick, and all the clerks and
employees of the White House show signs
of overwork.

of Vermont "Savagery," in the parading

failure of an attempt to break down the

any other two men-to build up their town (!

hundred n week for the larger States, as
soon rs "our people get the hang of this
"plan."
AS it is easy to see who are the "obnox-
ious and offensive partisans," so the "frst
class men" who are desired to take their
places, as evidently mean first class Dem
OcrdtS and the first-class Democrats are
the men who have done most "work" for
their party.
The Postmaster General does indeed
want little care exercised, along at first,
to avoid criticism because the people
generally are watching these things pref
ty keenly just now BY and bye, Of
course, it will not be necessary to take the
little trouble" of making decent selec-
tions from among "our friends" Such
are some of the things which can be quite
distinctly read between the lines of the
Postmaster Generals circular.
The thing, however, which stands out
most prominently from the face of this
document, is the palpable abandonment
of any pretence of compliance with the
rules and principles of Civil Service Re
form, in this "plan." The essence of that
reform is the removal of federal appoint
ments from Congressional influence and
dictation, and the retention of trusty Off
Gals, without regard to their party al1ilia-
tons. Here, however, is a perfectly dis
tinct plan for the wholesale removal of
postmasters, because other men, of our
friends, want the places and for the APP
pontment to the vacancies of the men
whom the Democratic Congressman rec
ommend. The Postmaster General pro-
poses to remove the men whom the Con
gressmen point out as offensive" Ofcourse
no Democratic Congressman will have the
slightest difficulty in finding evidences of
offensive partisanship in any man he
wants removed, and every one will assure
| the Postmaster General that the "heelers'
he wants put into the offices, are needed
there for the common.good, and that nobody
is so much as thinking of any personal
end" to be served by the change.
We confess to little surprise at this
circular but not at the plan" it out
lines. That is what we have expected tc
see put into full practice within the first siA
months of the new Administration. Ou1
surprise is that Postmaster General Villas
should have been simple enough to Civ,
himself away in this manner. When h,
gets to be a little older in his place h,
will not send around, in confidential
circulars to Democratic Congressman
anything that he is not willing to see il
print
