If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better
enabled to ward off the danger and post
pone the moment when surrender be-
comes inevitable. In many instances the
inherent strength of the body suflices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces TO such an extent that there is
little or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life. Upon the
first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or any
trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give
that old and well-known remedy-Bos-

that the last volume of the Register was
notdefectve and that individual pedigrees
could be traced at the office: to record
individual pedigrees would require too
large Registers, he said, and in this opin-
ion Mr.. Winsow, who is secretary of
the Ayrshire Breeders association. ex-
pressed his concurrence. A. II. Hubbard
of Whiting moved that the secretary be
paid $50 year, in addition to the $1,000.
Mr.. Winslow moved that the amount so
paid be 5000, in order to cover rent and
part of the expenses. l.. ii. Payne of
Bridport thought the $1,000 already voted
was enough. Samuel James of Weybridge
favored the 5000 addition. Mr.. Buttolph
didn't take kindly to it, apparently. and
made a speech that bordered somewhat
on the personal in its references to the
secretary. Mr.. Winslow's 5000 amend
ment prevailed, however.
a. W. Foote of Cornwall moved that the
annual membership fee of 50 Re abated.
Mr.. Chapman said the money would be
needed. S. ID. Doud of New Haven NOV
ed an amendment, that one-half the fee
be abated, and the motion as amended
prevailed.

Secretary Chapman also read changes
in rules 6, - and l6 which had been
adopted by the executive board. He said
that in view of recent events it was more
than ever required that the association
express its opinions on the subject of the
tariff; he therefore moved that the chair
appoint committee of five on resolu-
tons. The motion prevailed and the
chair named as such committee Albert
Chapman, L. w. Peet of Cornwall, Ed
gar Sanford of West Cornwall, G. NJ.
Winslow of Brandon and IL. c. Burwell
of Bridport.
Mr.. l.. w. Peet was not clear as to the
financial standing of the association aud
asked whether the balance in the treasury
was available. Secretary Chapman eX-
planned that an examination of the re-
ports would show that the association
was about $500 behind, having over 500
yet to pay on the printing bill for the
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1888-01-13

And Mr.. Poet was declared elected. On
taking the chair he thanked the associa-
ton for the honor conferred on him in a
brief but happy speech.
The remaining officers were chosen by
reclamation. They are : Vice-presidents,
II. 5. Jackman of Waltham, E. E. Stick
ney of East Shoreham; secretary, Albert
Chapman of Middlebury; treasurer, V.
Rich of Richville; directors, Fred II.

except that Mr. Jackman succeeds DR..
Prime as first vice-president and Mr.. San
ford takes Mr.. Jackman's place as fourth
director; while Mr.. Moore was chosen

position, but upon urgently requesting
it was excused. The old pedigree COM

clamation.
On motion of j. L. Buttolph the asso-
citation voted not to get out another vol
ume of the Register the coming year.
Then arose the great question of the
day-the amount of the secretary's sal
airy. j. L. Buttolph moved that it be
$1,000. saying that the secretary had been
we'll paid hitherto, that the prices of
sheep were low and that the association
ought to economic. Mr.. Chapman said
that the work of the Office was just as
heavy and heavier than ever; room
must be rented and clerk hired and he
couldn't keep the thing going on $1,000
Mr.. Hurd of Town Line declared that nc
one could tell anything by the last vol
ume of the Register and said that if they
were to be gotten out i'm that fashion he
didn't want more of them. Z. n. Bissel
moved an amendment that the salary be
$500. Mr.. Buttolph thereupon moved
to amend his own motion and make the
amount $500, but the amendment was
not seconded. Mr.. Bissell's $500 amend
ment was put and lost; as was also al
amendment making the salary $1,000
Then the question required on the orig
inal motion, that the salary be $1,000

When the Mills bill goes to the senate
it will be at once referred to the nance
committee. The impression is that the
committee will pigeon-hole it. pending
the effort to construct n substitute
which a subcommittee Of republicans
is making. AS to the probability of
anything resulting from this effort the
interview with Senator Allison reported
in our Washington dispatches was far
from reassuring. The senator inti-
mated that the session might be pro-
longed until the middle of September
and still no bill be acted upon.
Everybody understands that there is no
possible chance OF the Mills bill passing
the senate in its present form. and the
amendments certain to be made to 1T in
that body would rs surely not be con-
Cured in by the house. The simplest
way Of ending a struggle which it is APP.
parent can have no practical result at
this session., is for the republicans Of the
senate TO agree upon q substitute
for the Mills bill and pass it.
The majority Of both branches Of con-
gress having thus made their record
can go home and await the verdict Of
the people in November.
There is evidently great difficulty in
uniting republicans on a tariff bill, but
it ought to be very obvious TO them
that it is of the highest Importance,
from the point Of view Of party interest,
that they should bring forward u meas
are in C]onsonanCe with the present atti-
tude Of the party. 1t ought to be plain
to them that the party cannot
make its fight before the people
to the best advantage upon any
position Of simple negatiou. The
popular interest and intelligence re-
speeding this issue were never before so
alert and thorough as at this time, The
people were never more earnest in de-
handing Il definite avowal by the par
ties OF their respective methods for
dealing with excessive taxation and the
resultant accumulation OF a dangerous
surplus in the national treasury. 1t will
not be well for the republican party to
have to confess that its representatives
in congress were unable to agree upon
any method Such an acknowledgment
would go far TO destroy the influence Of
the national platform, and would sub.
Jet the party to the charge Of having
less courage han its opponents. 1t
cannot AFFORD to be placed in
this position, and therefore the re.
publicans of the senate will make n
great mistake il they fail to improve
their opportunity for proposing IL tariff
measure which they can all support. 1t
must be confessed, however, that the
prospect of their doing this is not alto
gether favorable.
