THE spontaneous general outpouring Of grief
at Rutland, over the death OF ex.Gov Page,
shows how apt communities are to do far less
than justice to their most useful citizens. A
week ago, in his financial mistortunes, and un-
der the load of accusations Ct enemies and
detractors it seemed as if Gov Page was under
cloud Of disgrace and distrust. 1t was only
when be was so suddenly struck down, that
Rutland remembered how much she owed to
him, how his far sighted energy and generous
public spirit had built her up to the proudest
position of all the towns OF the state, how her
educational, industrial and ali other interests
had received some of their best inspiration
from him. John B Page was in many respects
a great man. He did not die wealthy but in
usefulness to his kind, bis life was tar greater
success than is often allotted to man. His or
Ranizing capacity and business vigor were OF
great use to the state during the years of the
wal when be handled S5.000,00O of the states

THE Rutland Herald and some other papers
are telling of "a widespread and active Demo
cratic rebellion in this state" The Herald says:
s4'hefe las been issucd q circular to democrats
in every county known to be In sympathy with
the movement, asking for inform alton about
the appointment Of postmasters and other Of
ticers in their district, and stirring things up by
a recital of wrongs. A prominent demo
crat is busy collecting certain statistics and facts
by these circulars which, when formulated, 1t Is
understood he will present to the dissatisfied
democrats and organ'Ze revolt At the next
state convention to free the party from the
bossiny to which it has submitted for years.
This we suppose must refer to a circular which
has been issued by the REFoRMER to its CORE
spondents, not to politicians, asking for infor-
nation, "without prejudice or bias" as to the
character of appointments in each locality and
whether satisfactory to democrats and the COM
mnnity at large, and whether made in accord
ance with the wishes of the democrats and peo-
pie. There is no recital Of wrongs'-nothing
but plain questions, and the information is be-
ing collected, not for use in estate conven-
tion," but us news and for the purpose OF CIV
ing the facts in detail and in broad view,
about Vermont appointments. And if the
"prominent democrat" who is going to organ
ize the revolt refers to the proprietor of the RE
FORMER, it is only necessary to say that he is
not in that kind OF business. He is publishing
the pest and the most successful countryweekly
n the United States, and this is sufficient to
employ all his energies. He is not politician,
he wants no hand in petty office dickering and
he cares nothing about appointments, except
that they be decent. From the replies to the
circular that have thus far come in, it looks as
il the RsFoRMER.might make an interesting
out of it. Very likely it may, at the
same time, offer the Democrats of the state
some good advice, as it has frequently done be-
fore. But that will be all. Ii any "rebellion"
Is organized, some one else will have to do l..
The REFoRMER prefers to depend upon IDEAS,
rather than The manipulation caucusses or con-
ventions, for Its influence.

THE railroad ring organs express themselves
as very much shocked that any attention should
be paid to the irresponsible and utterly abomi-

like the Boston Herald and Record. These
correspondents are Henry Oviatt, formerly OF
the Montpelier Argus and W L Barrett late OF the

fellows, why were they kept SO long at Smiths

NJ Pasteur toli the French academy of scien
ces on Tuesday that he had finally completed
his experiments upon the science of inoculation
to prevent hydrophobia. He as one OF the most

bia can be overcome BY inoculation and his svs-
tenn is one which need not be applied until af-
ter the patient has given physical or mental

Roscoe CoNKLINa says he "does not feel
called upon" to take the stump this year in be-
half of the New York Republican ticket. The
New York Sun had an alleged inteiview with
Conklng Sunday in which the most unlimited
contempt was expressed for Blaine, Davenport
and their whole breed of Republicans. Conk-
ing the next day denied the authenticity of the
interview and declared that all the truth there
was in it was extracted from private conversa-
tion. Amos Learned, for many years the New
York agent of the New England press associa-
tlon, was the reporter who gave il to the Sun
and he says that he talked with the retired pol
itican for over an hour, and closed by asking
if it would not be well to write out the talk for
the newspapers. Mr. Conkllng replied with
etfuslon: "Use your own Judgment; it has
always been good" Learned adds ~ repeat

QUITE an onslaught has been made upon the
newly appointed minister to SPAN, Rev DIR Cur
ry, by the Catholic papers, because he is al.
legged to have said once that "Romanism is
worse than cannibalism." What he did say
was that Protestant missionaries In southern
Italy found something "more difficult to over
come than even cannibalism." He may have
been unnecessarily bigoted in the way he said
this. but it has nothing to do with his fitness
for the appointment The American govern
ment knows nothing about its citizens religion,
and will recognize no objections to religious be-
lief in public employment. This was the
ground taken in Mr. Keiley's case, and the Aus
trian mission is still left vacant because of the
stupid bigotry Of that government In refusing
to receive him on account of his religion. The
Catholic papers do not look we'll in asking that
any different rule should be applied to Protest.

Hon WALTON Of Montpelier in recent
article in the Watcbman on the Vermont legis-
latures and legislation OF fifty or more years
MAKES q suggestion well worthy Of thought
and discussion With reference to present legis-
latures. 1t is that annual sessions be held, -
one, which need not be long one-to organize,
appoint the committees, lay out the work, and
legislation, and another year later to complete
the important matter Of legislation. He thinks
the total time occupied by the two sessions need
not much exceed that Of the present biennial
session-it might probably be even less. This
scheme would in a measure obviate the diff
Guilty which is now the most serioHs one in our
legislatures, from the greenness and iIexperi
encc of the members under the one term rule
of elections which has come to be SO
generally accepted. and the advantage of
a years delay for the discussion and analysis
of measures proposed, in preventing crude and
i'll advised Legislation, woull be something
hardly to be estimated. Public sentiment
would then become an important factor in
Law making and the feeling of devll-msy care
irresponsibility which is natural to the member
who ooly goes to Montpelier once and never ex-
PEGS to go again, would be decidedly modified.
Ii is cutie a co nmon thing for member under
the inf lenes Of Montpelier ana the pressure of

The latest gossip in state politics is that Gov
Smith has concluded to withdraw bis blessing
from James X Batchelder's canvass for the
governorship, on the ground that the contest is
getting so hot between Batchelder and Ormsbee
and both have such good "claims" that they
should be allowed to fight it out between them.
Then conclusion is drawn from this gossip
that the astute ST Albans magnate is going to
have Judge Poland nominated instead of either
of them. There have been whispers for several
months of projected Poland movement. The
brainy, though not immaculate, old Judge is
credited with an ambition to round out his Ca
reer with the honor of the Governorship, and
