The Parsons Palladium thinks the
Democratic state convention could name
no stronger man for Governor than
Hon. Angel Matthewson, of that city.
Hon. NJ. was gallant Union soldier all
through the war, and his brilliant record
as legislator in his native state of
New York, and as State Senator of
Kansas, is sufficient to place his name
on the ''slate" for earnest consideration
by the Democratic State convention
which meets in Leavenworth, Aug. 4th.

yERMoN1'S HAY CROP.
The Yield this Year Above the Average
loo. 900 tons the Estimhted Crop.

The condition of grass and the outlook
for the hay crop in Vermont is summed
up by Forbes in the Boston journal as
follows: Haying was generally begun
throughout the State with the advent of
July, and the weather has been very ia
vorable up to this date for securing in su-
perior condition the abundant hay crop.
Only a small proportion OF the crop has been
gathered, but the standing grass is report
ed in most sections to be of heavy growth
and of fine quality. The crop promises to
be little larger than the annual average
yield since 1850, and nearly one-fourth
greater than the crop of 1855. With IA
vorable weather for harvesting the state
| will produce something like ,l2O, 600 tons
of hay this year. The east side counties
have suffered a good deal from drouth and
the hay crop will be lighter than in the
western and central counties of the State,
where more rain has fallen. In Addison
county but 2 10 inches of rain fell in June,
! yet the hay crop is larger than for several
years. In the Champlain valley, which
in a favorable season, is the best grass
| growing Sc elton of the State, the hay crop
is very heavy, and the harvest is well
started. On newly seeded fields the yield
will be very heavy. Some low meadows
were slightly injured by frost.
The grasshOpper plague seems to he less
! prevalent this year than last, but the
white daisy is more numerous than ever
The area of improved land devoted to the
hay crop does not materially vary from
last year. About 100000 acres is utilized
for grass growing, and the average yield
per acre is about one ton. In Rutland
Addison, Lgmolle. Chlttenden, Washing
ton, Windsor, Orange, Orleans anC
Franklin counties the increased yield this
81.

Referring to the advocacy of Fitz John
Porters case by Col Weber, one of the
Buffalo congressman, Emma James, the
Washington correspondent of the Albany
Argus writes;
Another eX-soldier congressman, of
equally brave record and equally con-
scientious, is just as firm in believing
that Gen. Porter should have been shot.
| refer to Gen. William w. Grout, one of
Nermont's two representatives whose
speech in the same debate in support of
his CONVICTIONS is one of the most terrible
arraignmeuts of this unfortunate man of
all that have been called out, and was the
result of days and nights of close eXamina-
ton of the evidence. He Is strong cham
piOn of whatever cause he undertakes,
aud has gained as much eclat in Vermont
for recently defending the interests of
pure butter as have senator Miller and
Messrs. lliscock and Parker in New York.
1t is said that he will have Il "walk-oYer'
for the nomination this summer, and his
brother members of Congress say he is
well entitled to it.

vailed on Cen GrOut to come and keep

There is one temperance organ In this
country-we refer to LdlC and OrdCr of
Boston-sensibe enough to treat the pro
hibitionist political party to some sound
and serious talk. In recent issue 1t
shows that by far the greater part of the
blame for the present unsatisfactory state
of temperance legislation in most of the
States, is due to the folly of the political
prohibitionists in withdrawing their votes
from the Republican party, the party of
law and order, and 80 Gripping That party
that the Democrats have carried the day
against it. LdlU and OrdCr enforces this
point by pertinent reference to New
York State politics, 1t says
1t will be remembered that there was
an important question recently before the
New York legislature. The Republicans
were nearly unanimous in approving the
question of a constitutional amendment to
the vote of the people OF that great state
With an approXimating degree OF union
on the part of the temperance organlza-
ton and the temperance people IN the pre-
ceding election sufficient majority could
have been secured to have carried the
question in the Legislature in spite OF the
opposing Democrats. We are constrained
to believe that, however sincerely and
earnestly a certain class may favor such
legislation, they are not willing TO accept II
at the hands of the Republican party.
This is illogical on the part of those who
make SO loud a profession OF reform.
If it had not been then, for the fanati-
csm of the political Prohihitionists New
York might possibly to-day have been a
prohibitory State The same blindness
seems likely to defeat the common inter
ests of the Republican and the temperance
in, hot ha
pect is that the Prohibtionists will
play prominent part in all
the State elections this fall. They
threaten to put candidates into the field,
not only for national but for State offices
They are having their State conventions
framing their platforms, putting their
tickets into the field. In Illinois they have
made up full State ticket, and have pub
lished a platform with prohibition, woman
suffrage and Sunday observance planks.
In Michigan and in other Republican
States in the West the prohibitionists are
also active. While it is certain that they
cannot elect their own tickets, they may
do a good deal towards defeating the Re
publican ticket and giving the Democrats
the upper hand Any remonstrance that
comes from a Republican organ seems to
be utterly unheeded 1t is gratifying,
therefore, to have an influential temper
ance organ, like L0lc ana Ordcr, utter
its protest against this kind of political
iconoclasm. The Republican party, more
than ever before, is disposed to become
the ally of the temperance cause, so far as
legislation is concerned. But if the pro
hibitionsts persist in crippling and de
teating the Republican party, by and by
there will be no temperance laws to en-
force. This will be the ultimate result of
putting the power in the hands of the
Democrats.

The First District.
lRutland Herald

The nomination of Ex-Governor Stewart
for reelection to Congress was Just as
hearty and unanimous as though the
convention had been full. His record is,
spotless and he Is recognized as one OF
the strongest members of the house com
mlttee on the judiciary. 1t is wise to con-
tinue such man in a position of useful
ness and opportunity for growth The
Endorsement by the convention of all of
Nermonts delegation in Congress was
significant of the general purpose to re
elect those who are to be voted for this
fall. Probably 1t would not have been
offered had it not been for the eftronterV
of the pretence that the friends of Sena-
tor EdmUnds did not dare present such a
resolution at the State convention. Every
body who knows anything about it knows
that ii was not presented at Montpelier
simply because it was considered umprece-
dcutcd and uncalled for But when after
wards the two wolves cried "cOVard' il
became entirely proper, at any rcpresen-
totve gathering of Vermont Republicans,
and especially at At convention represent
ing ouc-ua.i oi the entire State. to SHOW
the purpose OF the party.

A MURDER0US BRUTE.
TERRENCE O'HARe STAYS HIS WIFE
FOR HIDING $40.
Horrid elimination of Habitual Brutality
Rum Underneath it all-The Woman
Frequently had wounds Sewed up
An Unlovely Tale.

PORTLAND, Me-, July Inference
O'Hare, a pedlar or smuggler while in
toxicated last night had row with his
wife at their home and some time later
the woman was found dead by her neigh.
bors. O'Hare was pursued by officers
and captured but was too drunk to make
any statement 1t is supposed he killed
her during the quarrel. The couple lived
in Dover, y. H., Il portion of last winter
with a 10 years old daughter and 10 years
old son. They were several times before
the court for minor offences All were
well dressed and very flush with money.
O'IIare says he put $40 on the
table and his wife took it and hid it.
He afterwards demanded it and She re
fused to give it up. They had Il struggle
and tore up the furniture. His wife, he
says, was drunk ana after disrObIng tor
bed she fell over. He felt of her heart and
finding 1t did not beat, summoned the
neighbors. O'Hme has retained w. II.
LuOney and Col \. W. Bradbury as his
counsel and refuses to say anything more
about the murder. The daughter of
O'Ilare, who was absent at the time of the
murder, says she has known her father
to demand money of her mother, but
never knew him to beat her. DR.. Cum
mugs says he has been called several
times to sew up the wounds of Mrs.
O'Ilare, received ut the hands of her hus-
band. He says o. tre for IA long time has
been getting more and more brutal. DR..
Cummings and DR.. Gerrish discovered
several wounds from blows on her head,
several not being apparent until the scalp
was removed. The doctors will not say
positively that the wounds were sufficient
to cause death, but infer that they were.

Some important changes were made by
the legislature of 1884 in the laws relating
to check lists to guard against possible
fraud at the polls. In former years only
the larger towns in the State We're required
to have check lists of voters, but the last
legislature amended the act relating there
TO so that seectmen of all the towns must
prepare and post check lists thirty days
before the freemen's meeting in Septem-
Der. The election falling on September !
this year check lists must be posted on or
before Saturday, August I. The statute
provides that upon such check list shall
be stated opposite the name Of each voter
the street and number of his residence,
and where the streets are not named and
numbered, the school district in which he
resides and opposite the name Of each
person who has not resided in the town
for which the list is made three months

NEWSPAPER CRITICISMS.
Differing Views of MIR. Edmunds's Civil
Service Compromise.
[Springfcld Union.l


[Springfcld Union.1
Imagine the Boston and Albany railroad
managers appointing subordinates for a
term of four years under contract SO
binding that no removals could be made
without proving malfeasance before the
superior court. This is precisely the alb
surdity that Senator Edmunds proposes
to introduce into the business of the treas
ury, post Office and other great business
departments of the government. such
an arrangement would put back civil
service reform % years. Mr.. Edmunds
had better give his undivided attention TO
the Mormons.
Boston Transcript
Senator Edmunds's civil service bill, in
troduced this week, gains in estimation
the more it is looked at and thought
about. 1t provides for the rotation 50
dear to the old fashioned republican poll
tician, and also for the "clean sweep
without which the hoodlum democratic
elements will not be satisfied, and yet,
while allowing these evil practices to 90
on, robs them of much of their evil Ivy
cOnlinlng them TO the regular and grad
ual process of an imperSOnal system. The
| kernel of the Edmunds plan is four years
tenure for every appUintee This is direct
negation of the civil-service refOrmers'
demand for good behavior tenure. But,
together with his rremovaDility, except
by Il court, it secures the appointee utter
| Independence of politicians during that
term. AS the terms of the appointees
would 'break joints with the presiden-
tial terms, a clerk would not know wheth-
er he had better come out Il republican or
a democrat. Thus an independent and
bipartisan oflicialism would ultimately
be secured. All the while the people and
politicians would be getting educated by
the great facts that the offices were not
get-at-able, and that democrats and re-
publicans were side by side in them.
