REMEDY FOR DIPHTHERIA.-Num

diphtheria, and the skill of the best
physician frequently proves useless
against the attack of the dread dis

The various newspapers which ore
announcing that Vermont has given,
or is about to give the suffrage to
women, are informed that such is
not the case. Women cannot have
the franchise in this state without
an amendment of our constitution,
and our constitution cannot be chan
ged till 1894. A bill has passed
Vermont House, giving the few wom-
en- 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 a
very different matter from giving
women the suffrage in the sense in
which our contemporaries evidently
understand it. To limited extent
women can now vote in this state.
For number of years past women
who pay school taxes have been al
lowed to vote on school matters. But
only the merest fraction of them
less than two per cent, we think
ever exercise the privilege.

AS for third party, Labor par
ty, which we are told has just been
born-there is no room for third
party in this country; the history of
the American party, the Know Moth
ings, the Free Soil party, all illus
trate this. Parties are not made to
order from an idea they grow by a
process of evolution, just as the pres.
ent parties did. Such wrongs as ex-
list must be remedied, not by the Gre
alton of new party, but through the
present parties. And we mistake
greatly if we are not now entering
upon an era of agitation which will
end in fighting many of the wrongs
which have fastened themselves upon
the country under the unparalleled
grow Iii aud development Of the last
century.

REMARKS.-There is frmer feeling in the
butter market, although there is no advance in
prices. Low grades are getting less plenty, which
is supposed to be owing to the going into effect of
the oleomargarine law. Cheese is bracing up
little. Eggs in better demand. Beans are
quiet. Flour never or can be duller; our
quotations almost nominal. Pork, lard and
hams are steady. Potatoes plenty and sold at
low prices. Poultry is dull. Corn and oats are
nuiet.

are briefly set forth in the report of
the director of the mint. 1t appears
that at the time of the passage of the
Bland bill, in 1878, the bullion in the
standard dollar had value of 93T
cents, from which high-water mark
there was gradual descent for six
and half years, the lowest being
reached last July, when its value was
II cents. Since July the price of
silver has slightly risen, until now
the dollar is worth nearly n cents.
