ITO your old valley far away
For softly on the river tide
The tender lights and shadows play
And all the hills are gay with thyme;

IN your bright foreign cline -
For me, ,h0ught, the olives grow.
The sun lies warm upon the vines
And yet will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines
Old lovers are dwelling there, said,
Untouched by years of change and pain
Old faiths. that had counted dead.

A Popularity of Country Girls.

Among the excursionists sitting on
the city hall steps yesterday noon to
eat luncheon was young fellow who
had wide awake look and girl in IA
pink dress, who insisted on holding
his hand and looping over on his
shoulder. Two or three gentlemen
observed the situation, and halted for
IA second look. Their smiles were
noted by the young man, and he re-
leased himself and came over to them
and said:
"Gentlemen, let me explain. Did
either of you ever live i'll the country? ?"
NO." they replied in chorus.
"Then you don't understand the
country girl. She requires to be loved
after a certain fashion. She wants a
practical realization of the fact that
you love her. might tell her how
much | adored her, beginning now
and talking until dark, but she
wouldn't realize it tenth part as
much as if put my arm around her
waist and let her head drop on nv
shoulder. The one is talk-the other
cold facts"
"Exactly-that so,' remarked the
men.
"When city girl is in love she con-
ceals the fact or tries to. The coun-
try lass is only too proud to give it
away. Gou saw us squeezing hands.
You've got to squeeze country girls
hand about so often, or she'll imagine
you have got mad about something"
"Exactly-that's so,'' observed his
auditors.
"You may have noticed that [ fed
her crackers, and she fed me cheese.
1t must have looked very silly to you,
but that's another phase of country
courtship. If you'd claw off, the girl
would imagine that you felt above

counting country girls for the last ten
years, and I'm giving you a solemn
pointer that there is only one correct

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-08-25

THE Ne,r England Homestead has full
reports of the condition of large fruits
1t is " even or bearing year for apples
in New England. Although there is a
large yield of fall fruit, the crop of
winter apples will be about seventy per
cent of the usual even-year yield in SIX
states. The falling off in New England
will be partly made up by great crop
in Nova Scotia. The great apple
counties of Western New Y ork promise
the lightest crop in twenty years, and
the quality promises to be comparatively
poor. Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Nj
agara and Wyoming counties agree in
reporting scarcely fifty per cent of an
average yield. In Eastern New York
there is a better prospect, but the
average for the whole state is only fifty
two per cent. Pennsylvania will have
eighty-five per cent of full crop and
there is good crop in Ohio, but farther
west the reports are discouraging.
There will be rather short apple crop
in Europe, but the orange crop OF
Southern Europe will be large and will
affect the English demand for Ameri
can apples somewhat. The Homestead
inclines to the opinion that the exports
will hardly be as large as last year, but
prices may be little better. Pears
will be considerably below the usua
yield. Peaches for the third time are
practically failure north of the forty
first parallel. Plums are fair crop ant
will be cheap. Grapes in New Jersey
are light, but there is good crop il

matter, because it is Senator Edmunds'
action and not Senator Morrill's that is
in controversy. The action of one sena-
tor cannot commend or excuse the ac-
ton of the other. Let every tub stand
on its own bottom.
We now come to that part of Senator
Morrill's letter in which he alludes to
Mr.. Edmunds' relations to the great
corporations. We suspect it is true
enough that Mr.. Edmunds is the foe of
some corporations and that he has
sometimes been potential in defeating
their alleged schemes of jobbery. But
this does not cover the whole ground.
In the outset of the pending senatorial
contest the newspapers opposed to the
reelection of Mr.. Edmunds did not
deem it worth while to drop the main
issue to attack him on the ground that
he served as an attorney for corpora
tions when they had interests pending
in congress. 1t was only after his
thick-and-thin newspaper organs in this
state sought to hold him up as altogether
free from entangling relations with
powerful corporations and monopolies
that his opponents, knowing that this
claim was in part false and misleading,
began to discuss the subject in its vari-
Gus aspects. 1t has been shown that
Mr.. Edmunds is the foe of some corpo-
rations, but that he has been the paid
legal servant of others for a good part
of his life. But perhaps Mr.. Edmunds'
general attitude can be best Judged
from his action on the Beck attorney
bill. This measure contains the simple
but just principle that legislators shall
not vote upon measures in which they
have pecuniary interest. To the
very last of the session Mr.. Edmunds
determinedly fought this bill, and yet
his partisans have the effrontery to
claim that his record in these matters
is unimpeachable!
What Senator Morrill, says in regard
to Mr. Edmunds' " lead in the senate :"
appears to be abundantly disproved
by the record of the past session, and
we challenge the production of facts to
show that we have misrepresented Mr.
Edmunds' present position in the re-
publican party. AS he is no longer an
influential leader in the party and is re-
garded with distrust by majority of
republicans in nearly every section of
the country, we hold that his re-
election would injure the national pros
poets of the party far more than would
his retirement. In view of the strong
probability of Mr.. Blaine's renomina-
ton in 1888, it is certainly unwise for
the republicans of Vermont to elect a
man to the United States senate who
cannot heartily support the nominee in
the campaign, or who, in the event of
his election, could not give cordial
support to his administration in the
senate. Let the republicans of Ver-
mont ponder these things.

The Cutting Case.

The latest reports on this case, which
has caused an npleasantness between
the United States and Mexico, seem to
sustain the latter's position. The origin
of the trouble is this: August X. Cut
ting, a native of New York and not a
very reputable person, went across the
Texas border into Mexico, where he
got into trouble with citizen of that
country, and in order to get revenge
upon him published a gross libel upon
him. For this Cutting was arrested,
and in order to escape punishment
made public retraction and apology.
Then he returned into Texas and got
the libel reprinted there in English and
Spanish in the columns of paper pub
lished at FL Paso, on the boundary line.
These papers he carried back to the
home of Medina, the Mexican, and dis
tributed them there. For this he was
arrested second time and lodged in
Jail, and has since been tried and sem
fenced to a heavy fine and imprison-
ment. His only defence was that he
was an American citizen and the Mexi-
can authorities had no right to arrest
and try him for an offence committed
in the United States. The decision of
the Mexican judge before whom the
case was tried shows that the court at
Paso Del Norte held the editor for a
crime committed originally in Mexico
and continued simultaneously in Texas
and Mexico. The renewal of the charges,
the Judge holds, does not constitute a
new offence, but is confirmation of
previous charges. The criminal respon-
sibility of the American editor, accord
ing to the Mexican courts, arose from
the publication in Ell Centinelo, which
was renewed in the Texas papers. A.
p. Cushing, an American lawyer at the
city of Mexico, thinks that this aspect
of the case takes away the phase of a
conflict of the law of the two countries.
Secretary Bayard seems to have acted in
ignorance of the facts, and the people of
Texas seem to have made good deal
out of nothing. The diplomatic record
of the administration in this case is not
thus far a brilliant one.

EdmundS i'm 1854.

The principal statement in the COM
munication of " Justice" in another
column, in regard to Mr.. Edmunds'
course in the campaign of 1884, has
recently been made the subject of
editorial comment in two or three Ed
munds papers. 1t is argued that while
Mr.. Edmunds " desired the success of
the republican ticket " (meaning, we
suppose, the national ticket, he pre-
ferred not to make speeches in the
campaign because Gas the Rutland
Herald puts iD " he thought there was
great liability of his being subjected to
cross-fre of questions which would
compel him to say what he did not be-
lieve or evade the questions" This
probably refers to the GO something
awful " that he had said or had known
about Mr. Blaine. AS we have said or
intimated several times before, this ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. Edmunds' course in
1884 Gf it has any foundation) leaves
him, morally, in bad plight. The
ethical side of the matter cannot be
ignored. If he knew anything con-
corning Mr.. Blaine which, in his opin-
ion, untitled or disqualified the Maine
statesman for the high Office of presi-
dent, then, as conscience republi-
cam" he should not have remained
silent, but have joined the mugwumps
openly and actively in their movement
to defeat Mr.. Blaine. If he voted fol
Mr.. Blaine with the clear knowledge
that that gentleman was too corrupt tc
make fit president, then his act is
plainly inconsistent with sound mora
principle. His conscience would not
permit him to speak for Mr.. Blaine
when he needed his voice, but his con.
science would permit him to vote fol-
Mr. Blaine when his vote could MOI
possibly help his election! What die
Mr. Edmunds know about Mr.. Blaine's
character and public life that Senators
Hoar or Hawley, who are regarded a:
conscience republicans, did not know
as well? And yet these gentlemen
could take an active part in the cam
paign in behalf of the republican ma
tional ticket, while it is pretended tina
Mr.. Edmunds could not 1t is certain
that if he 90 desired the success of tn,
republican ticket" he did nothing tc
help it, but much by his silence t.
defeat it. 1t must be confessed tina
Mr.. Edmunds' conscience is an &c
centric one. If the Edmunds organ
have given the true explanation of hi
conduct in 1884, he should have op
posed Mr.. Blaine by voice and vote
But he did not covet the martyr
crown. He wanted to save his chance
of a reelection in any event So whil
he could not conscientiously work TO
the success of Mr. Blaine in the cam
paign, he came all the way from Wash
ington or New York to Bennington
and ostentatiously cast his vote for MI
Blaine. In another view of the case

THE tragic ending of the career of
William Gray, Jr., following closely on
the exposure of his crimes, has shocked
the business community of Boston. 1t
appears that Gray, who was a great
grandson of the famous old merchant,
" Billy" Gray, obtained and kept his
responsible positions on account of the
family name and prestige more than
anything else. His embellishments foot
up nearly eight hundred thousand dol
lars, and the money was squandered in
Improbable speculations and upon ex-
pensive hobbies 1t is stated that
he managed his funds in this way: As
treasurer of the Atlantic mills he lent
large sums of money to the Indian
Orchard mills, and rice rerso; then, each
mill having big surplus apparently,
he would borrow that. 1t appears that
Gray was surrounded by no safeguards
and had things pretty much his own
way 1t is another case where directors
have failed to realize that their business
is to direct and have been overtrustful
and negligent. One result of Gray's
defalcation is the shutting down of the
Indian Orchard mills and throwing
twelve hundred people out of employ
ment.

if Mr. Edmunds was right in his treat
ment of Mr.. Blaine, the republicans
who supported Mr.. Blaine were wrong.
But if they were right and Mr.. Ed

purity of their own motives and actions
in giving all their voices, as well as their
votes. for Blaine.
