The indications have rapidly thickened dur
ing the past ten days that the Smith anti Ed
munds men have dropped Speaker Baiohelder
as their candidate for the goyernorship and
taken up Judge Poland The fact undoubt.
eddy is that the haste which Mr.. Batchelder
made to declare himself an Edmunds man,
when be saw how irresistibly the current was
setting toward the Senator, displeased the
Smith men and led them to transfer their
support to Poland. The argument, it is al
most unnecessary to say, is that the Judge Is
an able man who has done the state emintnt
service and il would now be fitting thing
to give him a term in the governors chair to
wind up his public career Time was when
this argument would have had much force,
and would have appealed espe cially to Wind
ham county Republicans among whom the
Judge has always found some of his strong
est friends and supporters; but since he let
his hostility to Edmunds, amounting appar-
emily to bitter hatred become known neither
this argument nor any other can avail him
Moreover Judge Poland is paid attorney of
the Central Vermont railroad company and
one of their most obedent servants-a man
on whose sympathy that corporation could
depend in any emergency. In the present
temper of the Vermont Republicans the
| Judge is clearly not available as their candi
date for governor.
Within week a claim has been made that
a majority of the Windham county delegates
to the state convention will be found to be
for Batchelder, but this claim will not b'
substantiated unless some unusually sly ant
effective "work" has been done. II the Re
publican voters attend the cauouses and cleo
representative men it will be found that
great majority of the delegates are independ
ent in their views and pledged only to ''ge
the best" As between the men now promi
nently named their votes will be given t
Ormsbee, but if dark horse should enter tn
field, like Judge Prout Judge Barrett or Gen
Wells, he would be likely to get stron
measure of support from the ranks of tn
Windham county delegates.

The Monumental Bronze Co. OF Bridgeport,
Conn, took exception as was natural, to our
estimate Of the "white biorze' goods as stat
ed in an editorial a month ago accompanied
by extracts from correspondence received
from Bridgeport, and the treasurer Of the
company sends u.s. through a second person,
lengthy reply. The main points Of his an
swer are 1st that no one can know that
nothing really artistic has come from the
companys works, because no one person has
ever seen all their productions and designs;
%, that the so.called "boom" for a Grant
statue in Bridgeport was started by the com
pany's offer to give two dollars to any mans
one" for such statue-an offer which was fl
naily voluntarily withdrawn because Of the
contention which arose, the cost it would en-
tail and the interference it would cause with
other work already promised by the company;
81, that instead of having only one design
for a statue of a soldier the company has
several designs 4th, that our statement that
people Of taste aud discrimination look with
distrust and aversion on white bronze is re-
futed by the fact that people in high station
| have given the material their endorsement
! The company profess their willingness to
place the white bronze goods beside any mon
umental work, whether Of stone copper or
bronze, and let the public judge and the
letter closes with the assertion that the COM
pany entered the contest for the Brattleboro
monument knowing that their material was
the most lasting, and that it was capable OF
artistic effects and of fifty commemorative
the deeds Of those whom the town intended
to honor.
The writer of the letter seems to labor un
der the impression that tue remarks quoted
from our Bridgeport correspondence wer'
founded in malice, which is not the case
They were simply an expression of individual
opinion iutelligently formed. We do not re
gard the letter as by any means a conclusive
answer to the position taken by The Phmnix
but we have no controversy with the whit
bronze people, aud we cheerfully give then
the benefit of a statement of the main point
| claimed nv them

The Derea, Of ,he Home RuIe Bill.


On Monday Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule
bill was defeated on the motion for a second
reading by vote which stood 81 for the
measure and 341 against it. The first speech
on Monday was by Mr.. Goschen QiberaD in
opposition to the bill. Mr.. Parnell spoke
enthusiastically in favor Of Mr.. Gladstone's
measure, referring ssrcastically to the coali-
ton of Mr.. Chamberlain with the tory party.
The premier closed the debate. While de
feated for the present, it is evident that home
rule is only postponed for a season Mr..
Gladstone has in his long career never per
haps exhibited more signally the power Of
leadership. 1t is a case in which he has not
simply followed in the wake of public senti-
ment, but has by his daring movement gone
far ahead of it, The wonder is that such
large majority of his party has followed him.
We need only to remember that within few
years Mr.. Parnell was the leader merely of
despised band of Irish malconteDts. Hi
schemes for self government were looked up
on by the mass of the English people as rank
treason. Now the prime minister of Great
Britain has presented a bill embodying all
the demands of the Irish party, and at a di
vision in which almost every member of the
Commons was present has been defeated by
the small ma jority of 80 votes. 1t is remark
able that this close result should have been
obtained in spite of the detection of both
wings of the liberal party. On the one side
were the extreme conservative members of
the party, the remnants of the old-faehioned
wings, represented by Lord Harrington and
Mr. Goschen. They Indignantly repudiated
the idea of an Irish parliament under any
form. On the other hand, Mr.. Gladstone
has had to encounter the bitter opposition Of
the extreme radicals under the leadership o
Mr.. Chamberlain. Mr.. Chamberlain pro
fesses the most intense zeal for the Irisl
cause, but in spite of all concessions coulC
, not be made to favor Mr.. Gadstone's bill.
While the temporary coalition of such di
verse interests has been able to defeat tn
? government, it will be doubtful if the oppo
A sition will be able to hold together when tn
issue is brought before the people. Mr.. Glad
stone and Mr.. Parnell are united in supper
E of one definite measure, and behind them
e not only the solid Irish party, but the grea
t mass of the English liberals. On the othe
e side is an opposition made up Of men utterl
= at variance with one another on all othe
- questions of public policy, and drawn togett
: er only by common desire to do anythin
r to beat Gladstone.

rumor of the sudden death of Henry
Ward Beecher gained currency for little
while last Friday. 1t was quickly contradict
ed, but the deep impression which it made
showed the strength of Mr.. Beecher's hold
on the people. He referred to the story at
the Friday evening meeting and said he was
never in better health-he had more health,
in fact, than he knew what to do with. He
also mentioned his proposed trip to Europe,
and said it was not trip to lecture and make
money, as had been reported, but he would
simply lecture to pay his way he was not a
rich man he had no barrel of money laid
away, nothing but his library and his farm.
When the meeting was over Mr.. Beecher's
people voted to give him as long vacation
as he wanted for his trip.

Tha MnnmnIenG.

Mr.. Edt0r l have been a good deal sur
prised by the attitude Of some of our old
soldiers-men for whom have great respect
towards this subject. 1t seems to me that
they fail to grasp the true situation when they
assume that the views of the old soldiers
themselves ought alone to be consulted as to
the character of the monument to be erected
and the inscriptions to be placed upon it. 10
putting themselves in this aggressive, not to
say dictatorial, attitude, they appear to me to
lose sight of the material fact that this is
their towns tribute of respect and gratitude
to them, AS well as to their dead comrades
or, in other words, that they themselves are
the recipients of this honor from their fellow
citizens, and therefore not in position grace
fully to dictate precisely what this compli
ment shall be- | think they may safely re.
pose some confidence in the Judgment and
justice of their grateful fellow citizens. The
object of the monument is to tell tue story to
coming generations of the great struggle for
national preservation, and to express in
during form the gratitude of Brattleboro to
her brave sons who participated in that strug
gle. For one, ! believe that massive gran
tie pedestal surmounted by Mead's beautiful
creation, The Recording Angel in ancient
bronze-with an inscription and emblems on
the base and shaft marking it Enthusiastically
as a soldiers monument-wOuld be an ideal
embodiment of what the monument is design
ed to express and peTpetuate, besides being a
rare and beautiful work Of art, whose merit
will be more and more apparent rs the years
| go by, and to which, in coming generations,
hundreds of pilgrims would turn their foot
steps and there learn the story the monument
is designed to tell, where one man or woman
| would 90 to see a monument surmounted by
| the common typical figure to be met with in
| almost every village and town. | sincerely
hope Brattleboro will consider well and choose
wisely, and not lose this her golden opportu-
nifty. A CITIZEN
We need not say that We cordially endorse
the suggestions of "a Ctiz- n, and especial
ly that in regard TO the of the Record
ing Angel" The fact that the monument
should be made dstnctively soldiers mon
ument cannot be too much emphasized. Oul
own idea is that the sides OF the shaft should
bear in letters in bold relief the names OF the
leading engagements in which the Vermont
troops took historic part, with Gettysburg il
front there may also be on the shaft or abou
the base military emblems, and the inscrip
ton on the base should tell at glance thu
purpose for which the monument was erected
Growing the whole should be the Record
ing Angel" standing there to testify to com
ing generations the record of the noble deed
done by the Brattleboro soldiery. This i
indeed the ideal design. In thinking of
carving his angel in snow one winters night
SO many years ago, had in it a prophecy o
all these things that we're to be.

Folly Gone Mad.

The browning act of folly which any of the
trades-union organizations have yet been
guilty of was that of the Empire Protective
(horse-car Employee association of New York
in ordering tie up last Saturday on all the
horse car lines in New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City. This order stopped traffic on
all the roads except the Third avenue, which
is now running with non-union men. The
purpose of the tie.up was to bring the Third
avenue company to terms. Two months ago
there was a strike on this road to compel the
company to turn off seven non.unon men
which it employed. The company refused TO
comply with the demand, got along with the
interruption of its traffic the best way it
could, hired new men as fast as possible, and,
with the protection of the police, finally got
into good running shape again. The strikers
and the executive committee of the Empire
ass ociation got desperate at their failure to
compel the company to come to terms, and
an order for a general strike was the result,
the idea being to bring such a pressure to
bear on the Third avenue company from the
other companies that it would have to give
in. The tie-up only lasted half a day, how
ever, for Saturday evening there was a con-
ference between some of the street-car officials
and the association committee, and very soon
after came an order to the men to go to work
again. James Boyle, the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Empire association,
was arrested Saturday evening on warrant
charging him with conspiracy-a fact which
may have had something to do with the read
mess of the officers of the association to
come to terms. The men themselves had no
! sympathy with the strike or its motive; they
simply obeyed orders in a blind, animal sort
of way. For two months past every member
of the association has paid So a week-one-
sixth of his wages-ior the support of the idle
Third avenue men, The tie-up and its sud
den, fruitless ending will do much towards

The Republican county committee have
called our county convention to be held at
Newfane on Tuesday June 22d, date from
one to two weeks in advance of the usual
time. On account of the unusually advanced
state of the season it was thought best to
name this early date, as a little later the far
mers would be in the midst of the haying
season and in no mood to quit work and give
day to politics.
