tween Senator Edmunds and Morril
in regard to the attitude to be taken to-
wards the presidents refusal to prcmii
the senate to see the alleged charges
filed against federal officers suspended
"for cause" This story, in order to
give it effect, was told with circumstan.
ces, as that warm discussion arose be-
tween the two senators in the caucus of
Republican senators, and that Mr.. Ed
munds chad hard work to keep Mr.
Morrill, from kicking out the traces OF
words to that effect. The whole of
this story is sure invention-without q
shadow of foundation. Our senators
are not only personal friends; but they
are in entire and cordial accord upon
the present issue with the administra-
ton. At the caucus where the contro.
versy between them is said to have oc-
cured, Mr.. Edmunds took no part
whatever in the discussion. Mr.. Nor
rill gave hearty support by voice and
vote to the Edmunds resolution on the
subect-and he has not gone back OH

sonally and politically; and they make

FREE PASSES.

Burlington Free Press Correspondence.
The reason for the continuance of
some of the railroad abuses that people
have been subjected to so long, is that
public sentiment is not yet sufficiently
aroused to complete their adjustment.
We grumble about discrimination in
rates and high passenger tariffs and
hardly stop to consider the cause. One
reason why A pays big price for his
ride is, he has to pay for carrying b for
nothing. That is A pays full fare and
b rides on pass. Not one man in a
thousand comprehends the magnitude
of the free pass business, and half the
time the very man who grumbles about
the abuse will pass unread reports and
articles in books and papers giving
facts and figures on the very point in
question. Railroad officials understand
their bushes. They do not come out
every day with open brides and bids.
but they circulate their free passes
knowing well enough that the holders
of them will be acquicscent and agreea-
BILE from the nature of the case. If ques-
tons arise between these corporations
and the people the free pass men will
be neutral, and neutrality is often the
best thing possible for corporations.
Charles Francis Adams, president of
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
said recently, in his testimony before
the Senate committee on interstate
commerce, that transportation by pas
scs on his road amounted to $4,000 a
day or more than 100000 a year. If
the issuing of passes could be forbidden
by an active law he would agree TO
make considerable reduction i'm pas
sanger rates. He declares that the day
when such law shall be enforced
would be "a happy day for railroads
and railroad managers He further
said that in his opinion ''ten per cent

politicians, who give every minute OF
every day in the year to political pipe

roost a good deal nearer the ground be-
fore we are done with them, you may
safely bet; and when any of them get
to be senator, congressman, or even
acknowledgements, they will be agood

cret and social organizations they are
getting up and joining and working
so vigorously for political capital will
neither save nor help them. Let them
make note of this: that most of the
men who join the Grand Army, the
Masons, Odd Fellows, Changers,
Knights of Honor, &c. &C., are honest
and sincere, and have only honest ends
in view, and very few of them are fools.

selfish purposes. We twig you every

good cause for grief over the failure to

About the Newspapers.


1t has been asserted that the Republic
can papers of Vermont are about equal
ly divided on the senatorial question.
There are two ways in counting journ-
ais, one by name and the other by
standing and circulation. A newspa-
per may be mere name, or it may have
large circulation and influence. Which
ever method is adopted, there is ma
iority on the side of Mr.. Edmunds.
The most prominent of the papers
which oppose him is the st. Adams
Messenger, whose value as an organ is
shown by the fact that Franklin coun-
tn, where it should be potent, if any
where, is the only democratic county in
the state. The other journals that are
not favorable to the Senator are the
Montpelier Waterman, Rutland Tele-
gram, Orleans County Monitor, Ben
nington Banner, Richford Journal,
Swanton Courier, West Randolph
Herald and News and the Valley Sun
total number, nine; total circulation,
daily 100, weekly 1900.
The papers supporting Mr.. Ed
mundS are Rutland Herald, Burlington
Free Press, Brattleboro Phoenix, Bel
lows Falls Times, Bristol Herald, Bur-
lington Clipper, Danville North Star,
Fair Haven Era, Ludlow Tribune,
Manchester journal, Middlebury Reg

Republican, Swanton Sentry, White
River junction Landmark, Windsor
Journal and Woodstock Standard; to-
tai number, Twenty-Five; circulation,
daily 1900, weekly $4,000.
Eight of the state papers have not
expressed decided opinions. Their ag-
gregate circulation is about 1900 week
ly.
Another point to be remembered is
that of the anti-Edmunds sheets men-
toned, several are plainly branded as
the personal property of the opposition
candidate or of his friends; while the
readers of the papers supporting Mr..
Edmunds know they do it from disin-
terested motives. These considerations

A NEW DEPARTURE IN THE LIBRARY


The April issue of THE LIBRARY
MAGAZINE, containing its usual variety
of current literature of the highest or
der, announces that with its next issue
radical changes will take place. 1t win
thereafter be published weekly instead
of monthly. Without increase in price
it will give an increased amount of val
liable literature, and great gain in fresh
ness and timeliness will be possible.
The form of the page will be made
somewhat smaller so that the numbers
and the bound volumes, particularly.
will be more convenient. A fact that
is probably without precedent in the
history of periodical literature is stated
by the publisher, viz: that il is necessa-
~ frequently 10 reprint large editions
of the back volumes, running as far
back as 1879. This is certainly very
extraordinary certificate of the high
character of the Magazine. A most i'm
portant addition to the attractions of the
