The General Outlook.

The national republican mmittee have
kept their own couusels pretty we'll, in
regard to the Information in their posses
sion relating to the party outlook. But
Hon. John G. New of the committee while
in Washington last week, said that the can
vass was now in state of progress which
permitted him to speak with less reserve.
He said
If the election were to come off next
Monday, the republican ticket would car
ry New York by at least COG majority
and margin of so 600 fraudulent demo.
cratic votes could be thrown in. In other
words, we have to-day a majority of at
least 90, GEO for Harrison and Morton in
New York. | never saw such positive
changes from one party to anCthera as have
been going on from the democratic to the
| republican party in New York. We have
receipts daily giving the names of hun
dreds and hundreds of men who have
steadily supported the democratic ticket,
who are not only going to vote for Har-
rison and Morton but they are working
for them.
There will be no trouble about Indiana.
The democrats out there have been lying
about dlsaffection among the laboring
men, and about opposition to Gen. Har-
rison. Gen. Harrison will run ahead of
his ticket in the State and will lead the
ticket Ivy at least 500 in his own county.
We are sure to carry Connecticut and we
are going to elect Harrison and Morton
just as certain as the elections of NOvem-
Der take place. We have got the strong
side of the ISSUE and strong candidates
personally, the tariff, the labor question
aud international issues on our side.
AS these statements and predictions cor
respond with other reliable intelligence
we do not doubt their truth. The outlook
is most cheering one, and no damper will
be put upon it by the result in Vermont

The Vermont Election,

Mr.. Blaine's majority four years ago
ago was the smallest since the war. In
the State election in September of that
year the republicans elected Gov. Pin
gree by 25, 104 plurality. This year the re-
publicans announced that a largely in
creased majority might be expected over
the september election four years ago.
The result shows that this prediction
has not been verified. The republicans
carry the State for governor bya majority
estimated at % 600. This means nothing
N. y WOrld.
We supposed that the World was an
honester announcer of political results.
A great paper like thu WOrtd can afford
even in the present desperate straits of
its party to get nearer to the truth than
this. 1t is not quite the thing to compare
pluralties with majoritles, yet even then
the WOrld's figures deny its conclusion.
But the facts happen to be that Gov.
Plngree was elected by but %, 7O2 plural
ity, and by but u S4S majority. And the
republicans carry the State by about 81,
500 majority, and by plurality of over
$4,000. II is gain that means some,
thing; and the IVOrld sh ould not forget

An Odd House.

carrie Brown Sage in an Exchanged
Among the interesting features of early
New England settlement per haps none
surpass the block houses, but few Of
which are now in existence. One is sit
uated within short distance of grand
old Mt. Mansfield in northern Vermont.
1t differs from the log house in having the
logs hewn about two feet wide, though
not OF uniform length. They are placed
with mortar between them, aud from
little distance the house appears to be
built of stone. The gable ends from the
caves are finished with siding, he same
as in frame houses Inside it IS finished
with lath and plaster The structure is
certainly picturesque and suggestive OF
comfort.
Log houses have proved so useful that
modern residences are being built Of the
same material and GOV rel The reason
for following the old styie IS to secu pro-
lection from cold in winter aud heat in
summer. Anorher style of architecture
which is being adopted is the building of
houses of boards pied one upon another
in the form of a wall. The corners are
dove-tailed and the joints broken, and
each board after being laid in lime, is
nailed to the mass beneath it. Houses Of
this kind are both warm and neat, being
cldpboarded on the outside. Where lum-
Der is so cheap, the bu lding costs but a
trif1e more than it would if framed with
expensive norris and tenon. la some
cases blanks are used instead of boards,
and the building is done more rapidly.

1t is said that Mr.. Pearson, postmaster
of New York, is dsbeliever in the policy
of employing women in public service,
and that since he has been in charge of
the New York postoflice he has appointed
no one of that sex, and has turned out
from office quite number of those who
were previously employed. Women are
well adapted for much of the work in
postofices, and if the New York post
master will not employ them he is behind
the times, and aught to be banlshed to
some country where there are no women.
He may carry his point as long rs he holds
his Office, but women will not always be
kept out OF the New York postoilice
places.

A person driving through any consid-
cradle portion of the State of Vermont
would not suspect from anything he saw
that there was a law compelling every
town to keep at all The intersections of
highways guide boards giving the direc
tion and distance to the towns h which
such highways lead" and imposing Il fine
for neglect to carry out the law In
many cases no guide boards are to be seen,
and in other cases the legends on them
have been so effaced by time aud the ele-
ments rs 10 be illeGible, Some tow ls,
notably Charlotte in this county, obey
the law, but in others il seems TO be
largely dead letter. Obedience TO the
law is not expensive, and the towns for
their own good name and for the benefit
Of travellers should obey it.

The Result in Vermont.

We give to-day returns of the governor
vote from 2l7 OF the 243 towns in Yer
mont. These give Dillingham; 5000 ma
iority, net gain so far, of 5732, or 2S per
cent over the majority of 1884 in those
towns. The remaining towns gave $50 re-
publican majority in 1884. At the current
rate of increase they will add 100 to Dill
lingham's majority and carry it up to
27,431. This will be the largest republican
majority ever given at a September cleo
ton in this State.
AS the third party and scattering vote
( will not fall short of 1900, the republican
plurality will probably lack less than 800
of 90 900. This is a splendid result Onr
! returns show the election Of 1S democrats
to the Legislature. There may be % to %
such in the House, to, say 215 to 900 repub
| leans. The democrats are welcome tc
any comfort they can get out Of the result
| in Vermont.
These figures are more eloquent than
any comment on them can be. They show
! that the republican party of Vermont is
solid on the main issue, and that many
hundreds of thinking democrats with an
intelligent and courageous care for the best
interests of the people have voted with
them.
The result is Vermont's verdict on the
question of protection of American indus
try and Vermont's rebuke to the incom.
petent, self seeking ard corrupt spolls
administration, which for Il few months
longer will continue to disgrace the
country.

The Restriction of Immigration.

Chairman Ford of the congressional
immigration investigation committee is
authority for the statement that the con-
tract labor law has practically become a
dead letter. and that this country is being
used s. scientifically by European nations
as dumping ground for their pauper, in
sane and criminal classes. r. ports from
the large cities show that by far the great.
er portion of the pauper class in them Is
made up of foreigners. The supernten-
dent Of the outdoor poor OF New York city
say that seventy per cent of the persons
requiring aid are foreigners and that a
large proportion of these have arrived
within the past two years.
Beyond doubt the investigations of the
committee will demonstrate the need OF
some radical and effective legislation for
sitting and restricting immigration to
this country. We cannot afford to sup
port jails, almshouses and insane asylums
for the benefit of other countries. The
better class of immigrants should be en-
couraged to come to this country, but we
should have some effective means of pro-
tecting ourselves against foreign imbeciles,
paupers and criminals. When tho public
gets at the facts in the case there will be
a demand for stricter legislation as re-
CARDS immigration which Congress can
not resist.

The third party diversion in this city
can hardly have repaid the political pro-
hibitionists and democrats for the money
they put into the third party hag-raisipg
and rally. A movement which pans out
only fourteen votes in city of nearly
three thousand voters. cannot be called
formidable 1t is matter for serious
congratulation, however, that the friends
of temperance and the law in our city are
level-headed enough not to throw away
their votes, nor to be trapped into helping
the party which has steadily fought all
legislation for the restriction Of the liquor
traffic.

HAPPY REPUBLICANS,
The Victors In Tuesdays Contest Hold ,
JOllifiCatIon Meeting

JOll1nCatlOn Meeting.
After such a splendid victory as that of
tuesday 1t was but knatural that the re-
publlcans should give vent to their feel
lnps in some way. About 1870 o'clock a
procession was formed in front of the re-
publican headquarters on College street,
ana headed by the Sherman Military
BAND, marched through the principal
streets to the City Hail, which was imme-
diately filled to overhowing with enthusi-
astlc republicans. The meeting was called
to order by Robert Roberts, who, in a few
words appropriate to the occ l-i6n. called
upon Lleutenan tIioVernor-t lect Wood-
bury to preside. The latter made
some congratulatory remarks and
called up Hon. Henry Ballard, Representa-
tive from Burlington, who made an excel
lent speech abouudiug in telling hits at
the eXpensr OF the democracy, giving the
credit for re victCNY not alone to the re-
publicans but to the democrats who broke
away from their party lines on the issue
OF protection, and rendering his thanks
FOR the honor conferred npon him.
Chairman v oodbury then called out
,natOr."lect Taft rs a republic lean on
whom the party could depend every day in
the year. Mr.. Taft kept the audience in a
roar OF laughter by some amusing stories
ana tnahked the voters of the city for the
very complimentary vote given him.
CHAIRMAN 1bury then called I'D AL
derman j. f. Palnchaud of the "bAnner
Second ward" who was greeted with
tremendous applause. He carried the
house by storm with bis alusions TO the
"rrd Dandanna." States Attorney Foster
followed and with story told bv Mr.. Bal

Gen. Clinton b. Fisk, the third party
candidate for president, holds the Office,
under Mr. Cleveland, of chairman of the
board of Indian commissioners, with pro-
vision for payment of his travelling eX-
penses from the public treasury. His of
flee is one of influence in regard to Indian
affairs, and it does not appear that he has
ever made any strong protest against the
spolls system practised in that branch of
service. AT the Lake Mohunk conference,
Gen. Fisk reported with evident delight
an interview which he had with President
Cleveland, and he is evidently not unwll-
