Specimens of the Third Party.

IS Funk and Wagnalls, the editors
and proprietors of the Voice, the
loud-mouthd organ of the third party
prohibitionists, have joined Cleve-
land and Thurman club in New
York, if the report of the New York
Democrat may be trusted. They
have gone to the right place. The
declared purpose of the Voice has
been and is to destroy the republi-
can party, and the paper has been
sent broadcast at the expense of
dollar contributions solicited from
ministers: to republicans, in the
hope of turning them from their
allegiance to the republican party.
1t is the boast of the Voice that ev-
evry paper thus distributed makes
one third party pIohibitionist con-
vert. The New York Democrat,
commencing the honesty Of the ed
itors of the Voice in joining the
Cleveland and Thurman club, says:
1t would be far better for our
prohibition friends to cast a full and
direct vote for the democratic candi-
dates, than to fritter it away on
their own men, whose election is i'm
possible. After all, the main pur-
pose of the prohibitionists in the
present campaign is the overthrow
of the republican party. In that
they are in complete harmony with
the democracy. 1t is also a fact
that the vast majority of prohibition
lists believe in free trade. Here
again their interests are in unison
with those of the democratic party.
We are very glad to see
that such influential members of the
prohibition party as Messrs. Funk
and Wagnalls have adopted our views
and are now doing what they can
for the democratic ticket. We trust
their example will prove contagious,
and that before election day every
prohibitionist in the land will give a
full, instead of half vote for Cleve-
land and Thurman and Hill. The
democratic party can be entrusted
with the task of regulating the liquor
traffic, and in return for prohibition
aid will be willing to grant much in
the matter when the two parties diff
fer in opinion.

The Vermont Legislature

The present week undoubtedly
marks the beginning of the last half
of the session of 1888, and finds both
branches of the general assembly set
tied down to business. The last of
the junketing trips, including visit
to Grand Isle county to inspect the
site of proposed new bridge to con-
meet that county with the mainland,
and visit to the state university at
Burlington has been enjoyed, and
committee hearings now occupy most
of the time of busy legislators. On
Thursday evening of last week, Hon.
Loveland Munson of Manchester,
President Brainerd of Middlebury
college, and Principal London of
Burlington, of the commission ap-
pointed by ex-Gov. Ormsbee, appear
ed by request before the two commit
tees on education in representatives.
hall. A large number of senators
and representatives, and others, were
present and found the discussion of
the commission bill of deep interest.
Whatever may be individual opinions
as to the merits of the bill in provid-
ing a remedy, for the manifest evils
of the existing system of common
schools, all were convinced Of the
zeal of the commissioners, and of
their earnest endeavors to faithfully
and intelligently solve the great prob
lem placed before them. The two
committees have nearly completed
the consideration of the bill in ques-
ton, and the same will PROBABLY be
reported to the house early next week.
So far as can be ascertained,no great
changes are contemplated by the COM
tees, although the commissioners
scheme for the distribution of public
school funds is looked upon favora-
bly, by many. The normal school
question will also be considered by
itself. A hearing on the Nicaragua
canal question was held in the senate
chamber, Tuesday, when Senator
Bates and Mr.. Hazen of ST. Johns
bury advocated the passage of the
bill, the latter stating that the incor-
porators had brought the measure be-
fore the legislature by the advice OF
| Senator Edmunds. Colonel Joyce
of Rutland appeared in opposition, as-
sorting that the passage of the bill
would establish a bad precedent, and
maintaining that the legislature was
convened to act for the benefit OF
Vermont. Another hearing will be
had, Thursday evening, 8th inst.
when it is expected that some of the
parties directly interested will appear

Republican Prospect Bright

We think the republican prospect
grows brighter and more assuring as
the day of election approaches. There
is nothing yet that tends anywhere
to check the enthusiasm and the
courage of the republican party.
Republicans are working harmonious
~ everywhere, and it seems that
nothing but the most lavish use Of
money in close states can prevent
Harrison's success. Several things
are disturbing the democrats and
must work against them. The Sack
vile West letter and the talk which
has resulted from it is really a bad
thing for Cleveland, while the agita-
ton on the tariff, the split in the
democracy in New York, the wan
ing cause of the Prohibitionists, and
many minor things seem to be tell
ing against Cleveland.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wdshi;nQt0n, Oct. 80.

VWoUCICDtOHs OCC. ~.
Minister Vests letter endorsing
President Cleveland's candidacy has
occasioned greater sensation in po-
litical circles than any other event
of the campaign. 1t is said that the
cabinet meeting of Friday resulted in
request by Secretary Bayard for
Minister Vests recall. That may be
correct, but if correct Secretary Bay
ard is certainly trying to keep the
knowledge to himself. All day Sat
urday his office was besieged. Re-
porters lurked in the corridors, and
leading politicians waited in the ante
rooms. So many people have not
been seen before at the state depart
ment for years. To all 80 far as known
Secretary Bayard returned word
that he had not yet had time to con-
slider the matter, and would have to
"read up on the case before he could
express an opinion. After enough
time had been allowed him to read
the Talmud, the answer came that
''Minister Phelps had been promptly
informed of this governments conclu-
sion in the premises"
The Hutchinson letter is talked of
everywhere. The republicans are
jubilant; democrats are disturbed,
And that is the latter's folly They
are making too much of the matter.
There has been some talk of Minister
Vests insincerity in the letter-ru-
mors that he wrote the letter to In
jure Mr.. Cleveland's chances. Con-
sentative politicians, if | may be al
lowed the term, hold that the letter
was merely indiscreet and betrayed
Sir Lionels true feeling.
The Mr.. Hutchinson to whom the
letter was written, cannot be found,
and is probably q man of straw. If
he is an Englishman, and, as he says,
was naturalized for the purpose of
voting for 'sEnglish interests a

Personal Recollections of the War
BY MAJ. JOSIAH CIRCUIT.

We entered Virginia at Harper's
Ferry, which was still fresh in ruin
Occasioned by the destruction of the
arsenal year or so before. There
we saw the engine house where John
Brown quartered his little squad that
spread so much CONSERVATION through
the South in 1859. We of course
were curious about many other feat
ures of the raid, pointed out by a res
ident too feeble for military duty, or
he would, no doubt, have been in the
ell army. A few miles further to
the South we passed through Charles
town where the old patriot was tried
and hung. At this point we began
to realize in the midst of what natur-
al beauty we were. One of the love-
Hest valleys in the country is the
Shenandoah. 1t was at that time a
pleasant stretch of well improved
farming lands, not showing any of
the scars of war so visible later. This
valley follows the river naming it.
southwark, between two beautiful
mountain ranges only little separ-
ated, for two hundred miles into the
heart of the state and the home of
Jefferson. There are few more charm
ing agricultural spots than the Shen-
andoah Valley.
At this time Mcclellan was operat-
ing against Richmond on the PENN
sula, and Stonewall Jackson, it was
supposed, had gone to the relief of
that city, leaving the valley with very
little confederate force. Shields had
taken the greater part of the Union
forces that had been in the valley, to
join Mcdowell then at Fredericksburg
and in conjunction with him, was to
join Mcclellan. This state of things
allowed Banks to move without OPP
position where he would; so he went
south as far as Harrisonburg and re-
turned to Fishers Hill near Stras-
burg where our whole regiment at last
came together as a part Of Banks
army.
On our way into the valley the
first time, Col. Holiday, who had
been transferred to the command of
our regiment from captaincy in the
regular cavalry, shot himself one
morning as the regiment was taking
up it's line of march. He was a good
soldier. fine appearing gentleman
and was much respected by us all
but for some reason his life became
intolerable, land, taking it with his own
hands, he threw it away.
At Fishers Hill, Col. Tompkins,
another regular army officer, came to
lead us to victory. Col. Tompkins
was good officer and a brave man,
but he found the Vermonters ready to
follow where be would lead, or to
lead where he would follow.
Up to this time we had amused
ourselves as best we could by gazing
at the south bound tracks of Stone
wall Jackson's army, calculating the
probable number of days before Nc

VOWS of loyalty and fidelity to a coun-

both in the ''mother country" Sena-
ator Morgan said the other day, "The
poor cur wrote to the British Minister
to find out how to vote. The act was
pitiable, if sincere.
There is one redeeming feature in
the case. Minister West did not de-
ny writing the letter, and he even
went so far as to say that the word
"private' on the letter merely signi-
fed that he wrote it in his capacity
as an individual and not as a diplo
mat. He added that if the cores
pendent asked for permission to pub
lish it, it would be cheerfully grant
ed He does not plead eXtenuating
circumstances he is too brave for
that. This courage does not sur
prise his Washington friends. The
sturdy, self-reliant and self-poised
nature Of the British Minister has
long been observed. He is no blind
Bnrchard. He is a man of the world,
trained in the broadcast school of dip
lomacy, and it is the verdict of po-
itically Independent observers that
he has simply over-reached himself
and mistaken. the character Of the
American people.
After election comes the opening
of the social season. It's character
will depend very much upon the re-
suit of election. If Mr.. Cleveland
be not reelected, the season will be
but indifferently eventful, for

very cold company On the 9TH
er hand, if he be successful, the win
ter will be the most brilliant ever
known to the capital. In any event
the families of the justices of the Su-
preme Court will be to the fore, and
i'm the Supreme Court circle the wife
of Associate Justice Fields will be
first and foremost. That queenly
woman has just returned from a six
months visit to the Pacific slope, and
speaks glowingly as ever of Calfor-
MIA. She does not, however, praise
all the products of the climate. For
instance, she does not admire the i'm
pulse that impelled Mr.. Hutchinson,
of Los Angeles, to write Mr.. West a
letter.

crous increases. During tie last

Betting on the Result Of the
Election.

There has been an unusual amount
of wagering on the result of the
presidential election, and we think
newspapers are doing an unwise
thing in reporting it. Betting when
there are money stakes is always
wrong; but if it must be had, let it
be on the horse, the yacht or the
athletic sport. To put up money in
election is thing that is debasing
and debauching. The ballot is the
sacred thing on which hangs the
destiny of every republic, and in
this country, almost everything that
has to do with the public welfare.
Elections must be kept pure, for tue
greater part in this country, or the
time will come when corruption,
money, and a debauched public sem
timent will work condition of things
that will result in anarchy, social
ism and destruction
Betting is one form of corruption
and the tendency of it is to destroy
the respect and honor which should
cling to the matter of suffrage. Yer
monters are not given to the betting
vice, but there is tendency toward
it and all moral and all patriotic
people should set their faces against

The MoTmOns, who are now NOV
ing into Mexico and Canada, proba-
bly, find no difficulty in leaving their
peculiar institution of polygamy be-
hind them. 1t appears that those
who have settled in the northwest
territory have expressly declared that
they will not attempt to violate the
laws of the Dominion in this respect
or eountenance such a violation.
Doubtless the same prudent decision
will be taken by the Mormons now
establishing themselves in chihuahua.
The latter has been for several years
quietly examining the country, buying
land, and founding experimental col
Onies- Now they are joined by their
feiiOw-disciples in large numbers, and
the beginning of what will probably
prove large and influential settle
ment is made. Yet they are under
the laws of the state of Chihuahua,
and an attempt to practice polygamy
might bring upon them prompter and
severer penalties than any enforced
in Utah.

The republican canvass of New
Hampshire is completed and is ex-
ceedingly favorable to republican
success. The state will give Harri-
son about 1000 more plurality than it
gave Blaine four years ago, while
Goodell will get as large plurality,
at least, as Sawyer had two years ago
with more than an even chance Of
election by the people. The election
of both republican congressman is
foregone conclusion, while the legis-
lature will be fully as strongly repub-
lican as two years ago, thereby max
ing sure of a United States senator.
All that is necessary is for the repub-
licans to attend strictly to business
from now until shutdown on the 9Th

Change Of Time.

The Union Pacific made change
Of time last Sunday, putting its
Overland Flyer on a similar basis
with the limited express trains run
on down-east trunk lines. On and
after date named it will haul no day
coaches nor emigrant sleepers on
those trains, and passengers who
wish to travel on the Flyer will be
requested to purchase seats or
berths in the Pullman cars. There
will be no increase Of fare and no
additional expense beyond the pay
ment of the Pullman charges, which
have been greatly reduced below
the rates of year ago. This will
not effect at present the schedule
existing on the Wood River branch
but will shorten up the time several
hours between Omaha and Sho-
shone, rendering more surety of
connection with the branch.

The Winter Range.

Most of the herds taken out last
fall to winter ranges have returned
and the stock is in moderately good
condition, but in nearly every case
the loss from "strayed, stolen or
persisted" is much greater than at
any previous roundup, and in fact
will far exceed in actual cash value
the entire sums collected for ''herd-
ing" The loose manner heretofore
customary in the mountains of
turning horses over in the fall, to
the first winter herder that comes
along, at the nominal rate Of 500
for the season, will not continue
much longer. People will learn
that it is much cheaper to feed
stock than to gamble against odds
by sending them out to stray, be
stolen or be eaten by the cayotes
while they are being "herded' on
the "winter range" The very ones
who take them out to winter would

three times the regular rate, while
the ranchers on Spring creek will
shelter them, feed them hay and
keep them fenced in for $15 head,
and unless a horse dies, which is
very improbable under such cir
cumstances, he is very likely to be
returned to the owner in the spring.
