HONESTY.

pass fellow! He is aecCy hno~a By
has absence. He is confined to 10 lati-
tudc or longitude. He is bold and de-
faint cast of the Green mountains. He
is pattern of innosence and sly cum
ming west. A caucus was held at Es-
tabrook's hall, Factory Point, Saturday
previous to the Arlington convention;
and he was numerically present. But
he was innocently, ard supremacy and
distressingly ignorant about what was
going to bc did. He didn't know that
a nominating committee would be APP
pointed; didn't know who that COM
mittee would be; didn't have list of
delegates in his pockets; no, no. The
wheels fell into their proper grooves
accidentally, the fabrication coming
from the south, where small taxes and
large election bills are the rulc-result,
corps of delegates solid for two scna-
tors who only four years ago were cleo
ted to stay at home; one for tax dodg-
ing, and the other for being found in
bad company. CANCELS and ministers
of grace defend us!" What change
has come over u.s. In 1882 our tax law
was the idol of the people, because it
demanded of tie capital a just proper
ton of taxes. In 1886 we seem ready
to place ii in the hands of its enemies
and violators to revise, amend, or re-
peal according to their notions of class.
The Brigadiers will it: what business
is it to the people? Poor tax law! You
were named Equalization of taxation"
and we loved you. But time has rustcd
our zeal for you and whetted the ami
mosities of your violators. You are
nearing the condition of a witness in a
case tried a few years ago at East Dor,
set in which a stern old Scotchman was
a party. This witness seemed to be i'm.
pressed with the serious obligation to
his oath, at first, but very soon the Sc
impressions seemed to fade and his
memory became active against the old
Scotchman. This was bourne until the
old gent felt that forbearance had ceas-
ed to be virtue, and he sprang to his
feet and demanded of the court to
"swear him again for he's lying like
h" Our tax laws need swearing a.
gain. The enemies of equal taxation
never sleep or slumber; and as the dey-
il is dying for n craftsmanship on
church creeds so are these men to get
into the legislature OF Vermont to re-
wise the tax law. WEST SIDE.

These dishes were served up for the people of
Bennington county four years ago. The people
looked them over closely, in fact deserted them; in
fact deserted them-found one rancid, the other DO
gus, and refused to swallow them. The political
air may have been frightened with sufficient polite
al tonic that the stomachs of the voters retain
