A BAD DISEASE.

There is sort of political disease
known and recognized in this section
of the state as the Luther Baker sort,
that is unlike anything else in Yer
mont, unless it may be found here
and there in Franklin county. 1t is
not indigenous in this locality but
starts up now and then under GER
tain malarious conditions. In New
York city, Chicago, Cincinnati and
in some remote western localities,
there is much more of it. 1t is some
thing of a contagious character,
though not easily taken, or badly in
fictitious. A victim once ill with it
is hard sick with symptoms of mania,
and periodical raving spells that
seem dangerous. The disease has
appeared in this section, soon af-
ter somebody from Franklin county
has spent night in quiet locality,
and usually attacks the family, OF
rather the head of the family, with
whom the infected person found
hospitality. Several men who ordi-
narily exercise fair judgement and
may be called quite level-headed
have gone into raving spells and
manifested dangerous symptoms
since the breaking out of the disease.
Those who have accidentally come
in contact with a somewhat nOto-
rious political fugleman named Ba-
ker, well known as long ago as the
corrupt political campaign under
Barlow, have had the misfortune
to spread the disease to which We
refer in different localities. We re-
greet that the quarantine regulations
which were maintained during the
smallpox epidemic are not in force
at present. Fortunately in this
moral climate few persons are sus-
ceptable to the contagion referred
to, and the character of those who
are attempting to spread it is such
that few men will come into contact
with them.
In war times one of the most das-
tardly crimes of the wickedest men
of the south was the shipment of
rags and filthy matter, which had
been infected with smallpox and
yellow fever virus, into the great
cities These mad men who are
trying to poison public sentiment in
this section are resorting to a SINH.

The northwest has been treated TO
a carnival of fire recently, and much
damage to property has been done.
In different sections of Wisconsin
forest fires ragged during the first part
of previous week, and Michigan
has also been visited by the fire fiend.
The town of Spencer, Wisconsin,
has been completely destroyed, and
hundreds of persons rendered house
less. The loss will be upwards of
100000. More than 100, 100000
feet of pine have been destroyed in
the vicinity, and millions more have
been burnt in Clark and Marathon
counties. The fire in some instan-
ces extended for 100 miles without s
break. Forest fires at one time dur.
ing the period threatened the city Of
Marquette, Mich, and did grea
damage Whereabouts. 1t is feared
that some lives have been lost.

A SHORT CAMPAIGN.

y
has been short and unexciting, and
only two weeks remain before cleo
ton. We judge that there has been
little in national politics to work i'm
portant changes in political feeling.
The democrats were somewhat exult-
ant over the election of Cleveland,
and hoped for an admission that
would commend itself to the country
and a condition in financial matters
that would bring better times. The
administration has probably been as
satisfactory to the republicans as to
the average democrat. President
Cleveland's messages and his stand
ing on all political questions have
been more in accord with republican
ism than democracy. In civil service
matters he has been a long ways
ahead of his party and comes pretty
we'll up to his republican predeces-
sors. In regard to the tariff, his
| doctrine and wishes have been with
the tariff side, and not with the free
traders who compose the bulk of his
party; in regard to Mormonism he
finds his best support with erepuhli-
cans, both in the senate and in the
house. All his pet measures have
found more friends in congress among
republicans than democrats. We
want to be just, and it will do nei
ther party harm to say that the presi-
dent appears to be doing the mos
he can do for the general good Of
the country. Republican journals
of course, are able to point out {
great many faults and short coming
in the rival party, but it is not GU
purpose to claim that all evil in poll
tics can be spelled by the letters
, d moe acy, or that all goot
dwells on the other side of the polit
cal hedge. We wish to say, however
that if there has been reason for stick
, ing to, and laboring for, republican
principles, in the last fifteen years, al
those reasons exist to-day, and ever
true republican ought to work TO
the interests of his party, at til
same time laboring to make
worthy of honor. liz Vermont ther

FOR THE LEGISLATURES

The near approach of the Sep
TENDER election, makes the subject
of candidates of Importance. While
many things go to make the quail
ties necessary in an efficient anu
worthy officer in any capacity, in
tegrity ought always to be made
chief thing. No man whose integ-
rity is such that there is question
about it, should be entrusted with
public affairs, and the people ought
to be so strenuous in this regard that
the unworthy dare not get where the
wheels of public disapprobation can
crush them. Ability is something.
The man who by experience is
trained for duty, is able under Or
binary circumstances to do vastly
more in any sphere than his mex
perienced neighbor, hence, the GUS
tom that prevailed previous to the
biennial meeting of the legislature,
of giving man two or more terms
in the legislature fitted men up bet
ter for the work of legislation, than
the present which shelves man
when he is granted single term.
In the nature of the case the custom
of granting two terms, will not re-
turn under the biennial system.
There is great difference in men in
the influence they are able to exert
on other men; some are, at most,
only vote, while others by standing
or personal influence carry many with
them. The influence of men in leg
islative bodies depends not so much
on the brilliancy of speaking talents,
as upon their standing for fairness
and good judgement.
In the preliminary matters per-
tanning to the selection of candida
ties, it is too often the case that
leading aspirants are neither the per.
sons desired, on the persons most fiji
for the place, and the voters are
compelled to slaughter them, or te
allow themselves to be unfitly repre-
sented. If the caucus system pre-
walls, the citizens of the community
should remember that the caucu.
meeting is often, if not always, tn,
most important meeting. 1t is no
agreeable in any event to bolt eau
Gus nominee, and when the caucus i
fairly managed it is not right to G,
back on it's nominee.
There are always important mat
tiers that require good men in the leg
islature, but there are measures thi
year, as 1t seems to us, of unusua
: import. Among these may be men
:, toned temperance legislation, th

The last of the republican county
conventions were held last week in
Franklin and Grand Isle counties, in
both of which expression was given
in favor of the reelection of Senator
Edmunds. In Franklin county n res
olution to that effect was adopted by
large majority. The work now to
be done relative to the election of U.
S. Senator is in towns. 1t is we'll
known that the democrats mainly
throughout the state are ready to
form a coalition with such republicans
as will join in such an alliance, fol
the sake of vengeance on Senator Ed.
munds and decentralization to the re.
publican party. 1t remains to be
seen how many republicans who claim
to be of the stalwarts, are ready tt
fraternize in such a movement. There
are but few towns in the state where
it is probable that such efforts will b.
made, and the number is still less il
which they are likely to prevail.

THROWN BY THEIR WIT

A few weeks ago Senator Ed
munds was fiercely assailed by the
papers which opposed his reelection
because he was opposed to the oleo-
margarine bill, which they falsely
assumed, because he wanted it re-
ferred to Senator MorrlPs commit.

passage of an amendment reducing
the tax from five to two cents, and

Belfast, ireland, has again been dis
graced by the prevalence of bloody riots,
in which several persons have been killed
and hundreds seriously wounded. The
city owing to the wreck and ruin at
houses presents deplorable aspect. Its
appearance is similar to that of Paris

deaths resulting from the riots have
taken place which will never be heard of.

tried many remedies without benefit. Being induc-

Mr.. O'Neirs arbitration bill shows once
more that members Of Congress arc
capable Of proposing very inadequate not
to say absurd, remedies to cure serious
diseases. Everybody would be glad ii
Congress, or any other agency' could at
once devise aud put into active and sue
csssful operation . measure to prevent
conflicts between labor and capital, to
make both interests lair wise and lor'
bearing to improve the condition oiunder'
paid labor, and Insure the country against
a recurrence oilabor troubles.
There are ways in which Congress may
contribute to a solution Of the problem
lint the measure advanced by the Chair
man Of the Lanor Committee contained
only disappointment for those who might
be 60 easily deceived as TO put faith in IT.
Mr., O'Nell hilnseli was deceived, but no
other member Of his committee was.
Tie bill did not undertake to make aFbl'
tration compulsory; it provided no way
to make the judgment OF the arblsratoFs
binding. At its best it was nothing more
than a suggestion to cmployera and EN-
ployes toliye on better terms, to arbitrate
their differences and accept in good faith
the award OF the arbitratOrs. II provided
for nothing that cannot already be had and
dine without M act Of Congress, aud the
situation would not have been improved
in any way by the proposed act OF Con-
gress.
In the debate several members, repre-
sentng each political party, said they
would vote for the bill because, while 1t
could do no good, it could do no harm
We take this to be false view OF the
question. An act Of Congress which holds
ont to the country an unfOunded hope,
cannot but be hurLiul, Such disorders as
we have seen in the southwest and in
lesser degree elGeYhOre, ought not to be
trilIed with by quack remedies
Public sentiment on the labor question
is growing. Employers and employed are
learning. Capital is beginning to see that
organized labor Is not necessarily tts foe,
and labor is learning not only that it has
something to gain by organization, but
that in every well.directed effort to bene-
fit lis condition it has for It's ally tho
mighty power OF public opinion.
The country Is advancing rapidly on the
right line. The revolution is acquiring
momentum and velocity, not entirely
without violence, 1t is true, but yet with
fair promise that violent methods will be
abandoned and peac and sobrieiy resume
their sway. A better day is dawning for
willing labor, and this means for the
whole country. There is yet ample room
for the exercise Of patience, wisdom, hard
common sense. Old systems, methods,
prejudices are not swept away in a day,
hut when public opinion falls foul of them
they do 20.
