Who is this Atkins mention Of, as rail-
lying the Vermont Republicans against your able
senator b. 7. 7.
Our Omaha friend lives a good way off, and is per-
haps excusable for his ignorance II he is studying
Vermont politics, be should understand that Hiram
Atkins s supposed to be at present the managing ed
itor Of three Vermont newspapers-the Montpelier
Argus, the st. Adams Messenger and the Montpelier
Watchman. He is the actual Democratic boss, and
aspires to be the Republican boss, of Vermont. As
the realization Of the latter hope, however, depends
on the success Of an attempt to kill of Senator Ed
munds, 1t is not likely to materialize in hurry.

The New York Tribune, q day or two since, devoted
another column to sneering comment on the senate
rial question in this state between the lines Of which
can be plainly read the unwelcome discovery on It's
pa that the raid on Senator Edmunds is failure.
The closing sentences OF the article are as follows;
1.-THE singular feature Of the situation is that Mr. Ed
munds is strengthened almost as much by the HOSTILE
ty of Hiram Atkins & Co. as he Is weakened by the
support of his superserviceable mugwump friends.
There is some comfort IN the thought that Vermont
Republicans will settle the question finally, and
doubtless settle 1t right" There has been that COM
fort all along for the friends Of the Ver-
mont senator and of honest politics. The Vermont
Republicans quite capable Of taking care Of this
matter.

Owing to the want of funds with which to
pay the jurors and government witnesses in
the United States court, Judge Wheeler has
directed the marshal to notify all witnesses
and jurymen summoned that they need not
attend the regular term which is to convene
at Windsor next Tuesday, but that recess
will be taken until sometime in July. At the
term of court held at Burlington in February
the marshal was unable to pay these expenses
in full and Notwithstanding Congress in
March last passed deficiency bill of $780,
900 to cover the court expenses that was all
exhausted before the state of Vermont was
reached. So another deficiency bill is now in
order to exc out the expenses of the depart
ment of justice for the fiscal year ending
June Both. We are informed that several
very important government cases are ready
and waiting to be tried. Judge Wheeler,
however, doesn't believe in running the Uni

Hiram Atkins has been in Washington this
week telling the marines that 1.-THE anti Ed
munds people can defeat the Senator if they
make a fight, but he is not quite sure that
they will try" Last week Mr.. Smalley, of
ing that Gov. Smith is worth SO, 600, 600 or
$4,000, 600, and that "if he sees fit to spend
money literally, he may defeat Edmunds. -
Put the two expressions together and the fair
inference from Atkins's talk is that Gov.
Smith is in doubt whether to spend money
enough to buy majority Of the legislature.
Perhaps this years legislature may be one
that cant be bought.
