The government has promptly acoeded 10
Gov. Pingree'ATequest for the appointment Of
inspectors TO aid in protecting the State from
the Montreal small pox scourge. Such inspec-
tors have been appointed and they now board
every train from Montreal bound for the
states and compel passengers TO show that
they have been vaccinated recently, or else
TO submit 10 vaccination. The fumigation of
baggage is provided for and the importation
Of certain articles of bedding is prohibited
II case Of smallpox is found on board train
the person must be put of and detained in
quarantine. Every day makes it more and
more to be regretted that Vermont has no
state board of health TO rely upon in this ex-
igency, and the folly and Observation-Disclosures
of legislatures which have steadily refused to
allow such q board TO be established lie keenly
realized, for it is q vital matter TO every town
in the state that the infection should be kept
from gaining foothold here.
The deaths from smallpox in Montreal
during September we're not less than 1000
More than 900 Of this number were among
the French Canadian population which show
a strange prejudice against vaccination. As
illustrating the ignorance and superstition
which prevail among this GLASS, physician
who recently visited Montreal tells of q car
toon which was shown him representing
babe in its mothers arms, it's arm barred, and
death in the form of q skeleton performing
the act Of vaccination. The cartoon was de-
signed by French physician; 1t has been
largely circulated In the eastern townships
and has produced 4 marked effect in increas-
ing the prejudice against vaccination.
On Monday evening there was q riot in
Montreal because the authorities, becoming
thoroughly alarmed at last, had begun that
day to insist on compulsory vaccination. A
mob gathered at the east end health Office
and wrecked the building, and then, gather
ing strength, marched upon the central Office
in the city hall. The police at first ran before
the rioters, but were finally rallied, and, arm
ed with rifles and fixed bayonets they held
the mob at bay and dispersed it, but not IN
til the windows of the central Office and the
central police station had been smashed and
violence had been done at several other plac-
es.
One account says that there are now 1000
cases OF smallpox in the city. Officials who
attempt to bulletin infected buildings and
sections of the city are beaten and driven
away.

The New York Democrats, after putting
Gov. Hill at the head Of their state ticket
last week, nominated Roswell P. Flower for
lieutenant governor, hoping, as is generally
supposed, that such q mark of esteem would
cause Mr.. Flower to respond by placing his
oapaeious and well-filled '.bAr'I" at their dis
posal during the campaign But Mr.. Flower
didn't see the case in that light For q man
who wanted the first place on the ticket, and
who considers himself the best man whom
his party could nominate for the presidency,
il was asking too much that he should play
second fiddle to Gov. Hills first, and contrib
ute q couple of hundred thousand dollars to
the campaign fund into the bargain. And
Mr.. Flower therefore declined with thanks.
In his place the state committee have put
Gen. E. F. Jones' the Buffalo scale manufac-
turer, q man who has good record as IN
ion soldier and was a Republican until the
Greeley movement Of 1879.
The only distinctive thing about the plat
form adopted is the plank which says that
the party is in favor OF civil service reform
but against the enforcement OF the reform
lRw-an utteranoe which is entirely consist.
ent with the action Of the committee in put.
ting spokesman like Hill at the head Of the
ticket. In exact language the civil service
plank ''TeEfiirms the declaration Of the Dem
Ocraue national conventions OF 1876, 1850,
and 1854 in regard to the necessity of re-
forming the civil service, aud in the very
