A Washington special says that the
democratic politicians, who charge the
president with the responsibility for the
congressional disasters, will soon try to
make an issue as to the civil service policy
with the executive. They say that the
reduction of the majority in the 50th Con
gress will have the effect to induce the
president to be more attentive to their de
mands, and that the president will now
'let down the bars" and call in the hun
cry and thirsty democracy. We shall see
what we shall see.

We hope the fact that Congress did not
provide any appropriation for the extra
volved in the enforcement of the oleomar-
gariue law, will not be made an excuse
for neglect on part of collectors in seeing
this law carried out. If it should be the
matter will, of course, be brought to the
attention of Congress at its next session.

The various newspapers which are an
nouncing that Vermont has given, or is
about to give, the suffrage to women, are
informed that such is not the case. Wo-
men cannot have the franchise In this
State without an amendment of our con-
stitution, and our constitution cannot be
changed till 1894 A bill has passed the
Vermont House, giving the few women
who own property in their own right and
pay taxes, the right to vote on municipal
matters Whether this bill will pass the
Senate is matter of doubt but if it
does it will be u very different matter
from giving women the suffrage in the
sense III which our contemporaries evil
IDENTIFY understand it. To limited eX-
tent women can now vote in this State,
For number Of years past women who
pay school taxes have been allowed to
vote on school matters But only the
merest fraction of them-less than two
per cent, we think-ever exercise the

Our readers will thank us for the full
report of Gen. Francis A. Walkers adj
mirable address, elsewhere printed. Yer
monters would have liked more distinct
recognition on the part of the orator, of
the fact-for it is fact-that the attack
OF Stannard's brigade on Picketts flank
had been ordered by Stannard and was in
process Of execution before Gen. Hancock
rode down to the line of the I'd Vermont
brigade, The inspiration was as much
Stannard's as Hancock's, and Stannard
first put it into act. But this omission-a
not surprising or neXcusable one under
the circumstances-was the only thing
that any one could have criticized. The
address was as effective in delivery as
finished in its style and was a just and
fair portrait of the chivalrous soldier and
gallant commander who was its subject

The Rutland Herald remarks that "a
constantly increasing number of women
in Vermont desire to exercise the right of
suffrage and there is no reason to doubt
that majority of men are willing 70 re-
move the restrictions whenever they think
a majority of the women so wish" The
latter part of this statement may or may
not be correct. The first part is, we think,
the reverse of the fact. We see no indica-
tons that there are any more Vermont
women willing to assume the burdens of
political responsibility and action, than
ere were ten years ago The changes of
opinion, on the subject, that we have heard
of, have been the other way. Fewer wo-
men vote for school officers than former
ly. Probably not one in hundred of
Vermont women wants to vote; and not
one in fifty would consent to vote, if the
right were accorded TO them.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

The Philadelphia Times says cditorally:
Blaine has reason TO congratulate himself on
the result in. Maine. 1t was made his own
fight. 1t is his own victory, and with a ma.
jority of 200 or H. 900 in this of year
and the Prohibition organization battered
pretty much out of sight, he has made his
own political pedestal high enough to make
him tower among the biggest of the can
didates for 1888.
The Press says cditorially: The result Of
the Maine elections is worthy the attention
Republicans in other States. 1t was achicv-
cd by work and organization. There was
no equiyocation in the platform, and the
chief State candidate nominated was worthy
TO represent The party's principles, The ad-
dresses of the stump were clear, decisive
and strong. Blaine never showed himself
better lifted for party leadership than in the
campaign just closed. If any fear has ling,
cred among The Republicans as to the effect
Prohibition would have upon the Republi.
can party's fortunes, it would be dispelled
by the vote in Maine.

Looking at the matter in this light would
it not be a good idea for the people to de-

officers and employees of the Government,
including the Army and Navy, be paid in
silver? If silver is good enough for you
