The president last week nominated

Mr.. Trenholm OF South Carolina,
who has been appointed comptroller
of the currency; and promoted chief
examiner, Charles Lyman to be COM
missioner to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by Dorman B. Eaton's resig-
nation. Mr.. Lyman is republican
but is not in much favor with re-
publicans in Washington. Oberly is
regarded as pretty poor specimen
of civil service reformer, and the
democrats expect that he will be
very liberal in his construction of
the civil service law.

THE STRIKES.

The most important news of the
week relates to the strikes of labor
ers, mostly Knights of Labor men,
in various parts of the country.
These have occurred on railroad lines,
in factories and manufacturing es-
Establishments. The result in some
instances has been in favor of the
workmen, but IN others they have
gained nothing. Every laborer
should have fair compensation for
labor, but to demand prices above
what a particular business will
warrant, is suicidal for both the
laborer and employer. The times
are such that no business is particu-
larry profitable and wages must OF
necessity be low. On the Other
hand no one remembers when a dol.
lar would purchase more food OF
clothing than it will to-day, ant
hence small wages in the direction
of necessity. The fact that grea
bodies of men are banded togethe

THE VERMONT STILL HUNT.

1t Is we'll known among those who
are familiar with the ways of that re-
markable Vermont manipulation, that
ex-Gov. John Gregory Smith aspires
to all notable positions of influence
and authority, with the possible ex-
ception of the White House. 1t has
been known for years that he covet-
ed Mr.. Edmund's seat in the United
States Senate, and has been skillful-
ly awaiting his opportunity to reach
for it. 1t sometimes takes more skill
to wait than to move and Mr.. Smith
is an adept at both waiting and NOV
ing. His political machine, as now
organized, is probably the most per-
feet that Vermont ever saw, and his
workers are the old crowd who have
figured IN the caucus time and again,
the general directors being the men
who were in years past powerful to
elect Smith legislators.
Mr.. Smith seized upon Edmund's
undisguised distrust of Blaine as his
opportunity, and the men who hope
to put the st. Adams railroad man
in the place of the senator who has
given to Vermont position of pre-
eminent influence in national legisla-
ton, are conducting a still hunt. 1t
is their plan to "work" the town eau
us,-to elect representatives, under
one pretext and another, upon whom
they count TO support Smith If fight
against Mr.. Edmunds is forced in
the Legislature and they are already
viewing the landscape around about.
Springfield Rpublican.
We have no doubt Ex-Gov. Smith,
and for that matter, many others
would like the position occupied by
Senator Edmunds, but Vermonters
are not in the habit of throwing over
board such men as were Senators Foot
and Collamer, and they will not put
new men in the places of Morrill, and
Edmunds. There may be ''still
hunts" and small parties who favor
other men but when the nearly three
hundred sturdy, honest, patriotic
men of the legislature meet during
the coming fall, it will be seen that
no candidate has any chance against
Senator Edmunds.

in secret leagues either for good or
ill, bodies no good to the country.
Peaceable as may be original inten-
tions, the power that can be welded
by large organized bodies, bound to-
gether by strong and sacred oaths,
are very liable to be exercised in di-
on account of the connections and
the labor, and all will suffer from the
excitement and the period of idle
ness that results to those engaged in
the strikes in many parts OF the
country.

The Montreal Herald calls the
Dominion government to account for
mixing up Canadian and English
affairs in the proposition that the
British parliament should pay for
medals earned by Canadian volun-
teers in putting down the Riel rebel
lion. The Herald sharply says ::
"Canada had put down a riot Of
large dimensions in her own country,
and had no right to apply TO Eng
land to strike medal in commemor-
alton of the event; we should have
done that here, if we deemed it the
proper course to take. The objec-
ton of English taxpayers to pay
for such medals is well taken, and
we have little doubt that this will be
the last vote of that kind ever taken
in the British house of commons.

THE HOPE OF NEW ENGLAND.

The last census is not altogether pleas
ant reading in many portions for the sons
OF New England, but it conveys lessons
which they cannot afford to ignore. Ii it
tells that Maine and Vermont stood sta
tlonary as regards populations between
1870 and 1880, it also records the rapid
growth and prosperity of many cities and
towns which are beginning to tread upon
the heels of older communities. 1t seems
to say that to manufactures, not to agri-
culture, must New England apply herself,
and that to the skill of her artisans must
she look for her old-time supremacy. This
changed condition of affairs is recognized
in many enterprising cities, good ex-
ample of which may be found in Water
bury, the bustling Connecticut city upon
the Naugatuck that is SO rapidly coming
to the front as manufacturing center.
Waterbury has wide-awake citizens who
take every opportunity to push it and to
welcome new ideas. The advantage of
such progressive spirit is well shown in
the case of G. w. Angel, who lives at No.
204 South Main street, Waterbury, and
who gives this personal experience:
"For twenty years I have suffered tor
lures from chronic rheumatism. The doc
tors said I was incurable, but thanks to
Athlophoros, I have now taken new
lease on life. had tried numerous rene
dies with the hope of at least allaying my
suffering, but all failed until friend adj
vised me to try Athlophoros. did so,
and as the result am now looking and feel
ing as though 1 had never known what
rheumatism was"
Mrs. E. Vickers, of No. As Pleasant
street, says:
''It is owing to .Athlophoros that I am
now alive. suffered with infammatory
rheumatism for years, most of the time be-
ing perfectly helpless. One bottle of Ath-
lophoros cured me. I can sincerely say
that there is nothing like it for the speedy
relief and permanent cure of rheumatism
and can recommend it o all suffering from
that disease"
The testimony is reinforced by that of
Mrs. Jane Downey, of No. "a Pleasant
street, near neighbor of Mrs. Vicker's, in
this story of her case:
1.-TWO bottles of Athlophoros cured me
of inAammatory rheumatism. My family
physician advised me to take the remedy,
saying that he had done all he could for
me, but could give me no relief. Athlo-
phoros drove the rheumatism away, and l
am happy to say that it has never come
back. My daughter, who suffered terri
bly, from rheumatism, was also cured by
taking half bottle of the medicine"
If you cannot get ATHLoPHoRos of your drug
gist, we will send it express paid, on receipt OF
regular price-one dollar per bottle. We prefer
that you buy it from your druggist, but if he
hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from us as directed

The position taken by Mr.. Hemp
hill of South Carolina in the debate
on silver last Saturday, is evidence
of more enlightened sentiment in
that section. Mr.. Hemphill showed
that four-ffths of the cotton crop is
sold to foreign countries at gold pri-
ces, and that if it is bought at silver
prices in this country, whatever al
lowance is made for the fluctuations
in silver must work to the disadvan-
tage of the cotton grower.
