' We take very great pleasure in laying be.
fore our readers the communication from Hon.
Royal Tyler which is printed in An adjoining
column. 1t is a strong, complete, concise
statement of the reasons which ought to de-
eide the selectmen to accept Mr.. Mesds de-
sign for the soldiers monument. We endorse
it heartily 10 every particular, and we feel
sure that it will be as heartily endorsed by a
large majority of our Brattleboro readers.
In fact, with the exception of some mem bers
of the Grand Army post, we know of few
citizens who do not feel that there ought to
be no question about the acceptance Of the
"Recording Angel as the most beautiful and
appropriate symbol which it would be posi-
BILE to obtain to commemorate the deeds of
our Btattleboro soldiers
Many of the old soldiers give their earn
est support to the Mead design. Those who
oppose it do so, as we believe, under a false
conception of the real purpose and sentiment
of the proposed monument. The monument
is not to be memorial to soldiers, as soldiers.
1t is not to be a monument TO any one soldier
or to hundred soldiers Its primary thought is
that of tribute on the part of a grateful
community to brave men who did heroic
deeds for their country and freely offered
their lives to keep the Union whole. There
are many different forms which such testi
monial might take, and none of them need
necessarily have disIinotively military char
acter. Even were a military figure To be
chosen to crown the testimonial there is nc
special propriety in making it the figure of an
infantry soldier, for Vermont sent men into
all branches of the service-inlo the navy,
the artillery and the cavalry, as we'll as into
the ranks of the infantry.
Judge Tyler states admirably the real
thought which our people have in proposing
to erect this memorial. at is not a monu
ment erected by our soldiers by themselves
to themselves, and for themselves" 1t is the
tribute of all our citizens to the heroic dead
and it is one in which every citizsn-no mat
ter whether soldier or civilian-has person
al interest. The claim raised by SONS of the
old soldiers that this il a matter which it il
their special right and province to decide il
therefore neither modest nor a fitting one
1t is something in which every patriotic
citizen has an equal interest and an equs

The report of the Massachusetts, railroad
commissioners on the Bardwell Ferry dsss
ter was published on Tuesday. The primary
cause of the accident was a crib of hemlock
logs which 20 years ago contractor placed
in the embankment on which the track was
afterward laid. This crib was filled and
loaded with rocks and in due time it was COW
cred with earth and forgotten. Gradually it
rotted, the drainage from the embankment
and the spring rains slowly undermined it and
the roadbed, and the result was the dreadful
plunge of the train down the PERCEPTIONS n
cline into the river. Out of 48 persons en-
the train AZ were injured, of whom II were
killed at once or have since died. The com
missoners do not hold the present manage
ment of the road in any wise responsible for
the disaster

The House of Representatives now has un-
der discussion bill which proposes to put a
special tax on oleomargarine and other inita-
tion butter products, the purpose of the bill
being to render the manufacture of such ar.
ticles Improbable and drive them out of the
market for the benefit of the dsirymen. The
discussion began on Tuesday and it is likely
to last for several dsys. The bill is regarded
as sure to pass the House in the end, bu
many doubt its wisdom and believe that the
real thing to be aimed at is to compel thost
who make and those who sell imitation buttel
to stamp it as such and not put it on the mar

On the week following the publication of
his "Wake up! Wake up!" war cry Mr.. At
kins came out with sickly attempt to make
it appear that it was all joke-a bait"
thrown out to Catch gudgeons. This week,
however, he has plucked up courage again,
and in a prominent editorial paragraph he
asks, "Shall George F. Edmunds succeed
HIMSELF" and answers the inquiry by saying
that he probably will because nobody seems
ready to take the responsibility" of standing
against this man who ''sulked in his tent 1"
refused to speak or write in his psrty's favor
and placed the Democratic party in power
in the nation" As we remarked on the for
mer occasion, there is no mistake about this

Republicans of Vermont. It is in order to
ask once more how those Republicans relish

The anti-Edmunds sentiment among Republicans
seems to have apprecGbly diminished during the past
weeks and 1t is probable that resolutions will be n
troduced into the state convention endorsing Senator
Edmunds's candidacy for reelection. The question
is sometimes asked, win Senator Edmunds be can
didate for the Presidency in the next national con-
yenton2 The journal correspondent has 1t from the
highest authority that Senator Edmunds has refused
to allow the OF his name again for the Presidency.
II a movement should be started In advocacy Of his
Presidential nomination, the Senator authorizes a
tain gentleman to announce his objections to having
his name used.-Fr0a FOrbes's Letter 10 the Boston
Journal, 25th inst.
The first part of the above Is significant as
showing the way the current is setting in the
vicinity OF 81. Adams, for Mr.. Forbes has
generally been inclined to give expression to
the anti. Edmunds sentiment. So far as the
closing statements are concerned, it is fact
well known to everybody that Mr.. Edmunds
has never been presidential candidate of his
own choice or volition, and two years ago il
was only through the direct influence of per
sonal friends that he was kept from a public
declaration that he would not allow his name
to be used before the national convention.

Figures gathered by the Bradstreet mer.
camille agency show that in three weeks, be.
ginning with the first of May the loss of
wages in consequence of the strikes and lock-
outs in fifteen large industrial centres was
$2,sO2, 900. The loss Of current business
for the same period is estimated at 50, 800, =
600; and the amount of new business which
was stopped by the strikes at $25. 900, 600.
. These figures are an understatement of the
actual loss, because they only cover the CEN
trail points affected by the strikes. 1t should
be noted, moreover, that they begin with the
first of May, and do not include the enor.
nous losses oceasioned by the Southwestern
railroad strike and boycott but they are
sufficiently impressive as an approximate es-
innate Of the net cost of three weeks of la

cases the losses we're sustained by oomforta-
bly, paid and otherwise contented workmen
