The Town Fair.

Our town fair on Wednesday was a very
complete and gratifying success Consider
ing the short time in which it was arranged
and the obstacles in the way it was a surpris-
ing success. The lack of suitable buildings
in which to make displays that properly be-
longed indoors was serious drawback, but
in all the departments in which an exhibition
was attempted the display was excellent. The
growers of live stock showed a very wide
awake interest in the fair and their show was
revelation even to themselves in many re-
spects. The committee who had in charge
the poultry and dog shows deserved all the
compliments which they have received for the
extent and excellence of the exhibits which
were brought out. The gate receipts of
$1,000 show that at least 1000 adults were on
the ground. Counting the children and the
exhibitors and horsemen, who entered free,
probably the number actually on the ground
was little short of 5000. Had the weather
promised fair in the morning there is no
doubt that the attendance from the surround
ing towns would have been very largely in
creased. A considerable delegation was pres
emit from Greenfield, Mass, and visitors from
field people had planned to come up il the
weather had been good. Financially the
show was a success and there was ample en-.
couragement for the organization of a per-
manent society to establish permanent grounds
and buildings and hold an annual exhibition.
II we are correctly informed there is already
town organization ready to be revived, with
such additions as may be desirable, and go on
with the work.
1t is unnecessary to point out the benefits
which would result from the establishment of
a successful annual town fair in Brattleboro,
but to be permanent success and stand com
parson with the exhibitions which are so at
tractve in the Massachusetts towns down the
river, it must be put on broad and sound
basis. Whatever comments may have been
made on the remarks of The Phoenix on the
comparative emphasis to be placed on the
horse racing and the bona ide farmers ex-
hibits, the principle which we laid down WAS
a sound one and was the only one on which
permanently attractive and successful ex-

N INOR NOTES.


S. S. Cox, minister to Turkey, landed in
New York on Sunday. He comes home part
ly TO consult the President ON matters con-
uccttd with his mission, but very frankly
says that he would like to 60 back to Con-
gress from his old district.
Minister Phelps has lately refused to certi.
fy TO Allen Thorndike Rice, the publisher Of
the North American Review, as man 1T to
be presented to the Prince Of Wales, be-
cause of an insulting attack on Secretary
Bayard which Mr.. Rice permitted & contrib
utor to make in the Review. There was
some spicy correspondence between Mr..
Phelps and Mr. Rice on the subject
Three Mormon bishops who have been con-
fined for year and half in the penitentia-
ry at Detroit, Mich, for unlawful cohabita-
ton in Arizona, have been pardoned by the
President They we're tried and sentenced
under the territorial laws, but the Arizona
judge imposed sentence under the Eimunds
anti-polygamy law, and the attorney general
advised the President that this sentence was
illegal.
The speeches Of the anarchists at Chicago
before sentence of death was passed upon
them show them TO be defiant criminals
Lingg, the maker of the bombs, wound up
his remarks by saying "You smile. You
perhaps think 1 will not use bombs any more,
but tell you l die gladly upon the gRlows
in the sure hope that hundreds and thous-
Rnds of people to whom ] have spoken will
now recognize and make use OF dynamite
In this hope despise you mud despse your
laws. Hang me for it,"
The new silver one and two dollar certih-
oates contain finely engraved portraits of
Martha Washington aud Gen. Grant, the lat
ter bringing out the face in prohe-A rare
view. Neither of them, however, was en-.
graved for this particular use. These Wig.
nettes are heritage from the administration
Of CASTELAR, in the bureau of engraving and
printing. At that time It was the custom TO
employ many more expert engravers than
now in order to maintain the high standard
of government work and to prevent the bank
note companies from obtaining the best en-
gravers. In those days good many cuts
were made OF prominent persons which have
never been used and which cost large sums Of
money. The cut of Martha Washington cost
$500 TO engrave and it is one of the best pOr-
traits Of that lady extant. The Vignette OF
Gen. Grant shows the side view aud ls the
only such portrait of him which was ever
taken so far o. is known. Il Ia very different
in appearance from the pictures of Grant
with which the public is familiar, and it will
be at once recognized by those who remem-
Der Grant as he returned from the war and as
he looked when he first entered upon the
presidency. There Is no picture or engrav-
ing which so we'll shows the hrmnsss OF the
dead hero's face az the one about to be used
on the new notes.

Among the important measures introduced
yes erdsy was bill by S-nator StoddArd "tO
prevent unj ust discrimination by railroads. "
TniH bill is IN fleet stringent short haul bill
which also cuts of absolutely the free pass
abuse, and forbids favoritilm in freight rates
or for individual.
M II pley of Mendou introduced rail
road commission bill similar TO Mr.. ii gbee's,
but more comprehensive in scope, and en-
bracing the most available and successful flea
lures Of the NJ lssachuset,s and New York
laws.
Mr. Fitch of Highgate introduced very
voluminous and sweeping bill in amendment
of the prohibitory liquor law, aud Mr.. Bill Of
Albany, following out the suggestion made by
Gov. Ormsbee in his -message about the pen
atty for first offences under the liquor law, in
troductd a bill which makes the penalty for
the first oHencs a fine OF $50 and imprison-
ment for one month, instead of fine of s o
and no imprison ment, az the law now pro-
vides Sec provides that bail shall never
be less than 500; if forfeited, the amount
of bail shall in no case be reduced.
Mr.. Harvey of Topsham introduced bill
which provides that all sums in savings banks
and trust companies above $500 shall be put
into the list aud taxes paid thereon. The
present law makes the limit s 800 of amount
Of deposit exempt
Mr.. Peck of Brookfed introduced bill
to protect stock from barbed wire fences by
the addition of pole or board above the
wire. Another member suggested privately
that the bill be amended so as to provide that
"pole or board" be placed around each
wire.
A bill was introduced in the House to in.
corporate "the Green Mountain Homeopathic
Medical College of Vermont" to be located
somewhere on the east side of the state.

No reader who has an intelligent interest
in Vermont affairs will neglect careful peru
sal of the matter to which our first page is
devoted to-day. All the essential points in
ex-Gov. Pingree's valedictory mes sage are
clearly outlined there, and Gov Ormsbee's
message is given with substantial complete
ness. 1t is pleasure to see the new governor
speaking with such frmness, independence
and evident conviction as lie does ON several
topics of leading Importance. He sees, for
instance, that the great weakness of our Yer
mont common school system lies in the char.
acter of the small schools in the remote dis
tricts, which lack the inspiration of numbers
and are blighted and deadened by the indif-
ference of the communities in which they are
placed and the cheap grade of teachers which
must be employed. The remedy, he says,
must come through the adoption of the town
system or its equivalent. Gov. Ormsbee
thinks the prohibitory liquor law should be
made to prohibit if it is to remain on the
statute books and that the sham of sue
cession of convictions for first offences
should be done away with. His remarks on
the abuses which have been tolerated under
our highway system are pointed and deserved,
but we think he is very far wrong in his con-
clusion that the condition of the highways in
the state is satisfactory as a whole. The gov
ernor takes care to be Just and moderate in
his remarks on the subject of our railroads,
but it ia entirely evident that he can be relied
upon TO give his sanction to properly framed
railroad commission law.

With House made up almost entirely OF
new members, ii lie impossible to form an en-
tirely satisfactory estimate of the strength
and character of the standing committees
which Mr.. Grout named on Tuesday, but the
appearances certainly are that the Speaker
made an honest and successful attempt to con.
stitute them impartially and with view to
advance the interests of the people. We
think none of them have been packed in any
interest adverse to the best good Of the state
The railroad committee, for instance, which
holds leading place in the public mind, has
clean, strong man at its head in the person
of Mr.. Marsh Of Woodstock Mr. Stanton Of
Roxbury, who holds second place, is pro-
nounced friend Of railroad supervision, and
no better choice could have been made from
this county than that of Mr.. Butterfeld OF
Grafton, who holds the third place on the
committee. Its other members are less well
known, but they are well distributed over the
state, and evidently have not been chosen be
cause they represent any one set Of views
With the House committee thus made up and
with Mr.. Stoddard for chairman of the Sen
ate railroad committee, it is well assured tina
there will be at least an honest attempt t.
form ulate and enact a good and Elective rail
road commission law. Indeed, as our legih
lative report shows, Senator Stoddard has al
ready shown his hand in the matter of pro
posed railroad legislation, aud two railroad
commission bills have been introduced in th

Legislative Notes.

The Speaker did a very graceful and ap-
propriate thing in naming Mr.. Brooks, the
member from Brattleboro, as chairman of the
House joint standing committee on the libra
ry.
The legislative correspondent of the Bur
lington Free Press says that Mr.. Higbee'
railroad commission bill is evidently adapted
from the Massachusetts law, and probably
the principal faults that will be found with il
by those who are in favor Of an Elective rail.
road com mission in this state will be found
in its points of difference with the law OF
Massachusetts.
The anonymous pamphlet attack on Judge
Royce, to which our correspondent refers, ia
largely devoted TO a reiteration of the charg, 8
of his gross i'm morality with women, of which
he was practically acquitted in the Maloney
suit tried in Orleans county, II his character
is as vile in this respect as this pamphlet al
leges it ought not to be necessary to resort TO
thrust in the dark TO establish the fact.
II one may Judge from its column of legis-
lative notes, the Montpelier Daily Journal
now stands squarely committed to the liquor
interest, and the free pass abuse, and to re-.
sst any interference with railroad or corpor-
ate domination.
The first bill of the session was passed by
the house Thursday afternoon, and was very

Sion the Murder,

This legislature ought to take some step to
compel the vigorous enforcement of our state
law which forbids the killing of song aud
insect eating birds. 1t may be found, too,
that provisions OF greater scope and increased
stringency ought to be added to it. We do
not know that the murder of small birds to
decorate the bonnets and dresses of women
has become a serious evil in this state, as it
has in so many others, but we do know that
it has become quite too common practice to
kill them for various purposes of tsxidermy.
1t is within our knowledge that in certain
section in the north part of the state, cover
ing portion of two towns, the small song.
sters have been literally cleaned out-many
killed and the rest driven away-by taxider'
mist who makes it his business to shoot them
and hire them shot and then set them up to
take away and sell to visitors a: popular sum
mer resorts. The legislature should promptly
| put an end to this whole wretched and un
/ manly business.

A Washington despatch printed in this
mornings daily papers says that the third au-
dtor of the treasury has informed the score
tary of the treasury that an examination of
the books and accounts Of the department
shows a balance of $543, $50 standing as an
indie btedness against the state of Vermont in
the ordnance Office. This indebtedness ia
claimed to be for arms and equipments fur
nished the state in 1868 and 1864 and never
settled for. Furthermore this official says
that, of the arms and equipments furnished
the state TT the time of the frontier invasion
from Canada in 1854, $4,000 worth was
sold and put in the State treasury ''at the very
time when this Indebtedness was standing
against her on the books of the war depart.
ment." Further than this it is claimed that
these facts were brought out by the attempt
of our state officials to secure the settlement
of balance of $GG, 800 claimed to be due
the state. The third auditors letter closes
with the statement that, the Vermont legisa-
ture being now in session, this information
is given the secretary of the treasury in or
der that he may take the proper steps in the
matter.
1t will be entirely safe to wait until our
own books have been examined and our state
officials are heard from before jumping at the
conclusion that the state of Vermont has tried
to swindle Uncle Sam out of more than half
million dollars, pocketed $4,000 thai

$GG, $50 besides 1t is barely possible that

The Daily Vermonter devotes an editorial
to an attempt to prove that our declaration of
last week that 1.-THE people do not want the
town system of schools" is not supported by
conclusive evidence" We have no doubt
that majority of our thinking people, who
are intelligently interested in the education of
the young, are in favor of the town system,
but the town meeting experience of the last
two years has shown very "conclusively"
that the majority of average rural voters, who
are a majority in the town meetings, don't
want the system, or think they don't, be-
cause they are afraid of the expense and be.
cause they have no adequate conception OF
the condition into which our educational sys.
tenn is drifting-and this settles the matter
just az conclusively hs though the actual ma
jority sentiment both in numbers and in f.
ness to Judge could be reached. We agree
perfectly with the Vermonter that towr

like this, and that it ought to be done by
