PROTECTION OF GIRLS.

An article on the third page giving a
the Massachusetts Judiciary committee
last week on the matter of fixing the
age of consent" among girl-children,
is commended to the reader. The
hearing drew together one of the most
remarkable audiences that ever as
sembled at the state house. The letter
written by Judge Russell gives many
instances of the glaring Inconsistencies
of the law and of the disprOportion be-
tween the penalties possible in cases
of seduction and those possible for
other offences. The man in Massa-
chusetts who neglects to feed his horse
or his dog is liable to fine of $3.50, OF
to imprisonment for year, or to both
penalties the villain who accomplish
es the ruin of a girl of IL cannot be
visited with greater punishment than
three months in Jail or a fine of $50!
The bill which is pending proposes
to raise the age at which young girl
may consent to her ruin from IL years
to 18 years and to increase the penalty
for seduction from fine of $50 or
three months in Jail to fine not ex-
cesding $1,000 or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding five years. In Vermont the
age of "consent" is still lower than in
Massachusetts, being put at IL years.
1t would seem as though a single word
calling attention to these facts would
be sufficient to rouse the people to the
injustice and wickedness of the law as
it stands to day on the statute books
of this state and to make an early cor
rectiOn of the matter by the next leg
islature an assured fact.

The Massacre of the Innocents.

A lover of birds says there were new
er so few of the feathered sOngsters in
this section as now. Mr.. Curtis in his
comfortable Easy Chair, tells the story
of the butcher who looked out in the
soft summer moonlight and announced
that something ought to be done on so
fine a night, and he guessed he would
90 out and "slarter." When Melissa
heard the story and said, "But how
vulgar ~ the Easy Chair declared,
"ThOu art the woman ~ For the deli
cate lady was the wearer of dead birds
in her hat, and encouraged the ''slart-
er" of the loveliest and sweetest of in
nocent song birds merely to crafty her
vanity. She puts premium on wan
ton slaughter and unspeakable cruelty.
The feathered corpse is still worn as
crown by many women who are moth
ing if not tender hearted. Like many
a fashion, says Mr.. Curtis, the wearing
of dead birds is a thoughtless wrong,
but a wrong nevertheless, and it is
gratifying to know that the protest
against it which is now not only raised
but organized, is causing the removal
of the offence from hat and bonnet, in
other words that it is becoming unfash-
ionable

The Reporters Friend.

Secretary Whitney, according to the
newspaper correspondents, must be an
ideal man for the reporters. There is
no nonsense about him, says one of
them. "If you go to him for any in
formation he can give you, you can
get it without moments delay. If it
is something he thinks ought not to be
made public he says SO, and that is an
end of it," 1t is a great pity that
everyb body, particularly every body
who has to do with matters that in
terest the public, cannot learn that
Secretary Whitney's is the best way
to meet the ubiquitous reporter. Tell
him what it is right that the public
should know so plainly that he can
state it correctly or, if it is a matter
that ght not to be made public say
so plainly and at once and the inter-
est of all concerned will be served.

A New Paper at Montpelier.

The Rural Vermonter is the title of
a large, handsome paper, which comes
to this Office from Montpelier, with
Alpha Messer and Arthur Ropes, edi-
tors and the Vt. Publishing Co., pub
fishers. This paper is conversion of
the Patrons Rural. a monthly agricul-
tural journal heretofore printed at
Rochester, VT, by Mr.. Messer. While
the new Vermonter will continue to be
a farmers paper, as before, the scope of
the journal will be broadened, and
Judging from the excellent work done
by Mr.. Ropes on the Waterman for
several years, this new paper will be
one of decided opinions and one with
the courage of its convictions. While
Washington county is not wholly bar
rem of newspapers there would seem to
be room for one of the quality of the
Vermonter. The first number, which
is before us, is very neat in it's typOg-
raphy, interesting in matter and we'll
made up.

Col. George w. Hooker, who deliv-
ers the Memorial day address here
next Monday, says there will not be
vote thrown against the reelection of
Mr.. Edmunds to the United States SEN
ate and declares that even Mr.. Blaine,
were he living in Vermont, would give
the senator his support. More than
this he says that Mr.. Edmunds is so far
from being cold and uncOmpaniOnable
that he is warmth and geniality itself.
Indeed he goes farther still and de-
clares that Mr.. Edmunds is the great
est statesman in America, cOntempOra-
ry with Gladstone and Bismarck. The
genial colonel never does anything by
halves

Evidently.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian copies
the following remark from the Wind
ham Co. Reformer with evident de-
light: "The st. Jehnsbury Republican
which was started as a stalwart repub-
lican paper, by political leaders who
wanted to punish the Caledonian's
bolt against Blaine, now comes out
one of the strongest Edmunds papers
in the state" The Caledonian's bolt
and Senator Edmunds' attitude are re
garded as Synonymous. The Republi-
cans endorsement of Mr.. EdmuRds is
considered as the endorsement of the
course taken by the Caledonian also.

The New Power.

"The power of the king has passed
away" says Mr.. Powderly in the North
American Review. "The new power
dawniDg upon the world is that of the
workiDgman to rule his own destinies.
How will lac WELD it 7" The answer
to the question Mr.. POwderly asks is
the key to the situation. The power
of the king he refers to passed away
because he made a bad use of it. The
workingman's power is a potent one
but it will surely pass away if not
wisely used. Martin Irons seeks to
supersede Mr.. Powderly as the head OF
the Knights of Labor. Let him or one

like him be put in that place. and
the usefulness of the order is at an
end. The labor war that practically
closed last week has wrought mischief
on all sides but most of all to the
American labOring men. The power
that was in their hands was not wisely
used. Martin Irons has run away to
escape a mob of the men whom he has
deceived and who now find themselves
without employment. Other western
knights are trying to trace some of the
funds spent by them during the war.
The lessons of the strike are evidently
being learned by the strikers and it
may yet bear fruit that will be worth
all its great cost.

PEACHAM.

Rev. E. A. Whittier was here again
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. His first meeting was
held on Monday evening, and even with
the short notice which had been given
the NJ. E. church was well filed.
Tuesday morning no meeting was held
but meetings were held in the NJ. E.
church at 2 and 7 p. m. These were
largely attended. Thus far the meet
ings were preaching services with a
short season of prayer and testimony
following. The meeting Wednesday
morning in the town hall was Bible
reading and praise service. Being in
the morning it was not as largely at
tended as the others, but proved a very
enjoyable and profitable meeting.
Wednesday afternoon and evening
preaching services were held in the
Congregational church and the house
was well filled both times. Short sea-
sons of testimony and prayer followed
flied. In spite of the talk to the con-
trary greater number of the converts
were found firm than could be expect
ed considering that so many of the
scholars are gone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Blanchard of
