The Proposed state Insutution for the

Of Westminster, state supervisors Of the in
sane, visited Rutland yesterday, to see about
establishing an institution for insane crimi
nails in connection with the house Of correc-
ton here. They go to Windsor next week to
look over the state prison and investigate the
desirability OF locating the building there.
The board is satisfied that an institution is
needed for insane criminals separate from the
Brattleboro asylum. That institution is al
ready crowded with its $50 or more patients
and the u criminals now confined there are
obliged to be kept separate from the other
patients with attendants OF their own. This
number includes persons under indictment
for crime, or those under sentence who have
been declared insane by the courts. Among
them is MoCadrey, the Waterbury lunatic,
who chopped his family TO pieces few years
ago, and Bagley OF this town, who was serv-
ing a sentence for intoXication when declared
| Of unsound mind. Most OF the cases are
| hopeless and require but little medical at
tendance, so that the jail physician could
easily have supervision of their health. As
they are now practically in a building by
themselves the number of attendants would
not have TO be increased by erecting a sepa-
rate institution, and the supervisors believe
that the change is not only needed but would
be economy for the state They propose "a
investigate the matter thoroughly and report
to the next legislature the result of theil
work, asking for the establishing Of such al
institution.

W. IL. Glider has left New York to begin
his expedition to the north pole-the simplest,
least expensive, and he believes least danger
Gus, ever undertaken. His notion is that, as
it has been proved that white men can stand
the cold, but perish from lack of provisions
he will travel and live just as the Esquimaux
do, and with the Esquimaux. He sails from
New London in the Whaler Era, Capt Spicer,
which will land him at point on Cumber-
land inlet. There he expects to be obliged to
stay q year TO make up party of natives,
but II he can engage the people he wants 10
time he will sail on the same vessel across
Baffin's bay to Greenland, where he expects
TO be picked up by Newfoundland whaler
next year and taken to Melville bay or higher
up. Thence he will work up to L ldy Frank
lin bay, and thence dash TO the pole by Lieut..
Lockwood's route. Lockwood reached 800
90, or about 1896 miles from the pole, and
could easily have gone 100 miles further with
good sleds and drivers. Col, Glider will have
one white companion, William Griffths, and
will carry several rifles, shotguns, etc, ex
pecting to subsist principally on fish and
game, and two seds, one large and one small

at is no longer asked OF a candidate, Is
he Republican, but, Is he an Edmunds
man Z" means the st. Adams Messenger in its
agony over the results of the recent county
conventions. Surely the best test of Repub-
licanism in Vermont is not that a candidate
is known as q Republican, any more than the
best test Of soldier like qualities is that a
man is known As a soldier. There are Re
publicans aud there are Republicans There
are Republicans who know what is for the
best interests OF their party, state and coun.
ty, and who are anxious that their votes shall
go to the support of the best type of Rspub
licanism and ststesmanship in this country.
There are, however, Republicans-men who
are known as such-who are willing to sacri-
fee the interests OF their party and the lofty
position which our state holds in the councils
Of the nation, for the sake OF venting person
al spite and accomplishing mercenary ends.
The test of Republicsnism" in Vermont
cannot be laid down by one man or by one
set OF men, but is obtained by observing the
tendencies and instincts Of the best and most
| numerous of its representatives. Tried by
such a test, how long would the auti-Ed
munds couspirators be able to defend their
allegiance? The Republicans Of Vermont
have already given their answer.

Attention needs to be called to the fact that
hitherto only the larger towns in this state
have been required to provide check lists of
voters but the legislature of 1884 enacted
that the selectmen of all towns must prepare
one 30 days before freemen's meeting in
September. Hitherto, also, q legal voter
could vote the county ticket in any town in
the county and the state ticket in any town
in the state. But this left open a wide door
for possible fraud, and now the law requires
that the voters name must be on the check
list, which Of course can only be In his own
town,

In the trial of the Bohemians charged with
boycotting Mrs. Landgraf, the New York ba-
ker, last week, Judge Barrett told the jury
that, while workingmen could legitimately
combine to obtain an increase Of wages, they
could not interfere with those who chose to
work for lower wages than they demanded.
The moment they 80 interfered they became
guilty of as great tyranny as that against
which they had combined. Six of the boy
cotters we're convicted and sentenced to from
10 to 80 days imprsonme Mt and the other
we're discharged.

Pension Commissioner Black recently re.
jected the claim of a colored woman for a
pension as the dependent mother of a soldier
killed in the service, on the ground that, as
the claimant was a slave at the time of the
soldiers death, she was not then dependent
upon him for support. The soldier enlisted
in August, 1868, and was afterward killed in
battle. At that time President Lincoln 8

nine of them, who were in the rear, became

hours in the intricate underground mazes of

From the st. Johnsbury Republican,
III were a member of Congress-, said
Judge Poland yesterday, ~ should vote
against the bill taxing oleomargarine. And
why?" queried an auditor. Because the
only legitimate reason for laying tax is to
increase the revenue. There is no pretence
that the treasury is in need of the funds that
will come from this tax and all it amounts to
is an unjust discrimination against one indus
try in favor of another. And as to the argu-
ment that oleomArgArine ought to be branded
for the protection OF consumers, Congress
has nothing whatever to do with that it il

bill you would make yourself mighty unpop
ular with your constituents" Il am used &c

Charles Marsh.


Charles Marsh, of the Boston firm OF
Jordan, Marsh a Co, died at O'Clock last
Friday afternoon from an attack OF apoplexy,
with which he was seized on Wednesday
while walking on fremont street. Mr.. Marsh
was born in Chesterfield, N. H in 1929, and
when quite young removed to Boston, where
for five years he was clerk for Pearl, Smith
A Co., in Hanover street. When the firm of
Jordan, Marsh Il Co. was formed in 1851, Mr..
Marsh entered it's services, aud in 1852 he was
admitted as partner. In the early days Of
the Arm he was regarded as one of the ablest
statesmen on the street. His connection with
the firm soon placed him in prominent posi-.
ton, and as its representative he went abroad,
where he established the most cordial rela,
tions with the leading commission merchants
of other countries. Upon the removal OF the
firm to Washington street and the opening of
the retail department, Mr.. Marsh remained
at the head of the Wholesale department. In
commercial matters Mr.. Marsh ranked high
as a manager, aud socially he was held in
much esteem. He leaves a wife and three
children. Two of his ssters-Mrs. Laura
Wetherell and Mrs. Charlotte Fletcher-live
in Brattleboro, where he was quite well
known.

Six of the congressional appropriation bills

most important-the legislative, executive
and judicial-is yet in conference. The
navy bill, the sundry civil bill, the general

The fortifcation bill has not yet been acted
on even in the House. Under these circum-

had asked the meaning of the word miss. "
TO miss, told him, is the same as to fail.
You shoot at bird or at mark, and do not
hit it-you miss it. You go to a tailor for a
coat, aud your coat fits bsdly-it is q misfit.
You hope to enter the middle class next year,
but you cannot pass the examination, aud so
you miss promotion. His face wore puzzled

smiled and nodded. "Ah, see I" said he

in any case see the end we can see sgus Of
what It will be. These signs are the decisions
by the child as to the successive duties aud
temptations which arise-the duties to be
obedient, to be truthful, to be Ieverent to-
