The Republicans Of Vermont cannot af-
fort to let the result of next Tuesdays
election show any apparent Indifference to
national issues ON their part 1t is true
that with us the campaign lacks excite
ment because Nermont's most important
work was done in the state election, but
elsewhere the enthusiasm and excitement
are at fever heat Travellers from the
West say that that whole section has been
converted into one big political camp ground
with professions, rallies, speeches, fire
works and brass bands beyond number.
From New York, Massachusetts,, Maine and
New Hampshire the word comes that the
six working days of the week are simply a
succession Of big political demonstrations,
with enshusiasm such as this generation
cannot recall. Let Vermont Republicans
catch the spirit of their neighbors and
make for themselves a record ON the ma
tional vote which they may be proud Of
No man was ever offered for their SURFACES
which could command their confidence and
respect in larger measure than does Gen
Benjamin Harrison. Let him have the
vote of every loyal Vermonter. The work
of our rallying committees was done with
the September election Next Tuesday ev-
cry Republican should constitute himself IA
rallying committee of one to see that his
own vote and that of his neighbor is cast
early in the day for Harrison and Morton.

For some time past there have been fire.
quent illusions in the daily papers to the
suffering and privation which are said to
exist among the settlers in Ramsay county
in northern Dakota. From the press de-
spatches it would appear that the destitu-
ton, caused by failure of the wheat crop,
is Z neral among the settlers in that part of
the territory, but reliable information re-
celved from persons who have lived in
northern Dakota for several years shows
that such is not the case The whole trou-
BILE originates with d colony of Russian Jews
who settled two years ago in the northeast
corner of Ramsey county. These Jews
were of the same class with their country
men everywhere They knew nothing of
farming, were averse to it as a means of
livelihood, and preferred to get their living
by peddling and begging. Ever after they
settled there they pestered the people of
Devils Lake, the county sent, with de-
mands for aid and when the early frost
came this fall, killing the wheat in the milk,
they made this an excuse for going to the
county officials and demanding support at
the county expense. This was denied them,
but they hung about until they got a certii-
cate that they were in want, under a plea
that they wanted to send some of their
number east with it to raise money among
their countrymen. They collected what
money they could and sent the statement
of restitution broadcast over the country.
The disturbance thus caused has been a
great annoyance to the thrifty, self reliant
settlers of the county, the great majority
of whom are able to take care of themselves
and would not accept aid on any conditions.
The real character of these Jews was so
well known that responsible loan agents at
Grand Forks and elsewhere refused TO ad-
vance them money.
1t is true that the severe early frost caus
ed serious damage to the spring wheat, but
this loss was not without its compensation,
for it is estimated that the increased price
resulting from this and from the ravages of
the chinch-bug elsewhere has raised the to
tai value of the Dakota crop by at least
| $4,000, 900. At the present time wheat is
worth 81 " bushel there, against SO cents
year ago, and next year, stimulated by
the promise of high prices which the millers
believe will last for two or three years at
least, the farmers will plant every available
acre to wheat, and will undoubtedly reap
corresponding reward. The life of Dakota
settlers is not all sunshine, but the deserv-
ing ones are entitled to have the facts stat
| ed as they are

Report of Committee on Iaaaae AsyIam,
State OHeer. Elected, EIe.

MONTPELIER, Nov. /.
The Senate committee ON the insane asy-
lum, who, with the House committee on the
insane, have visited Brattleboro. Rutland
and Burlington in search of information on
which to base some plan for the care of the
states insane, have today made their re
port. They found the question large one,
and have confined the report to a simple
statement of the states relation to the Yer
mont asylum and the suggestion of three
propositions to be considered, viz. the ere
alton of all institution to be wholly under
state control the hiring of the insane car
ed for by some institution outside the state F.;
and the giving to the management of the
Vermont asylum such an assurance of flu
ture state patronage as would induce them
TO enlarge their present accommodations
While the committee make no recommends
ton in the report, it is understood to be
their feeling that the latter proposition is
the most feasible one.
The joint special committee on state and
court expenses, of which Mr. Mann is the
House chairman, are preparing bill which
provides that in the settlement of small es-
tates, say not to exceed $1,000, there shall
be no probate fees chargeable to the estate
The measure is certainly a wise and just
one, and will doubtless become law.
The tickets for Miss Howe's concert go

indicates that there will not be enough of
them to go around.

was disposed TO temporize. It was given
out in Washington that, Mr. Vests letter
being marked private the government
could not take cognizance Of il. Then the
tide Of indignation began to swell, and Mr..
Cleveland told New York World report
err, Let the people have a little patience
they will find me no coward This was
followed by the announcement that the
matter had been presented to the English
government through Minister Phelps.
Three days later came the announcement
that the President, spurred on by deadly
fear that he should lose his reelection by
means of this Burchardish letter from his
English well-wisher, had given him his
passports.
The situation is an amusing one-and a
very embarrassing one for the Admins
tration. We shall see next Tuesday what
has been the effect of having it frankly said
by the official representative of the Eng
fish government that English sympathy is
with Mr. Cleveland and that all good Eng
lishmen hope for his reelection.

The interesting fact has developed this
week that the members of the firm of Funk
< Wagnalls, publishers of the Voice of New
York city, the authorized organ and repre-
sentative of the third party prohibitionists,
are both members of the Cleveland and
Thurman club. The Boston journal is not
too severe when it says of this develop
ment
Here, it would seem, the mask is at last
removed. The two leading prohibitionists
in New York, publishers of the national or
gan of the prohibition party, abandon per
sonally all pretence of supporting the pro
hibition ticket and ally themselves openly
with the Democracy, And they do this in
a state where, more perhaps than in any
other state in the Union, the Democratic
party is openly allied with the liquor inter
ests, and the saloon organizations are col
lecting assessments to defray the expenses
