In an editorial headed ga Frugal
State" the Philadelphia Ledger right
fully draws the conclusion from the
report of State Inspector of Finance
Page that there are no Anarchists in
Vermont The Ledger remarks that
the figures indicate that about every
sixth person in the Green Mountain
State is a depositor in the savings
bank, with an average credit of near
ly $500 to each name. ''As socialism
and anarchy contend that property is
robbery" adds the Ledger, sit is ev-
ident that neither of these heresies
prevails in Vermont, where, allowing
five to a household, nealy five-sixths
of the heads of the families are prop
erty holders"

The Utah bill introduced recently
by Senator Stewart is a most radical
measure, and yet if anything may be
judged from the results of previous
experiments in legislation for Utah,
it is none too radical. 1t proposes
the complete Acknowledgement of
every Mormon in good standing in
the church. 1t proposes a new form
of test oath, which not only excludes
all polygamists, but all who belong
to any organization which teaches or
tolerates the practice. 1t abolishes
the present legislature, and places
the lawmaking power in the hands of
the governor, who is of course of
presidential appointment, and an as
sembly of twelve citizens appointed
by the president. The passage of
such bill as this will be desperately
fought by the Mormon lobby, but
Senator Stewart understands very
clearly the character of the institution
which the decent sentiment of the
country demands should be suppress
ed, and he at least very clearly rec
ognizes that halfway measures will
do no good.

Good Advice from a Southern
Republican.

1t is important that the Northern
people should get clearer Ideas as
to the greatly changed condition of
affairs in the South, particularly in
those states whose immense and
exhaustless natural resources and
advantages have been coming into
rapid development, under the oper-
ations of a republican tariff. The
growth Of the manufacturing and
mining industries of the Southern
states has been 50 miraculously rapid
and has so inspired the hopes and
excited the interest of the ablest
men in that region, that they have
ceased to be encountered with their
past and are absorbed in the creation
of prosperous future.
In this connection it is timely to
refer to the suggestions made in a
letter recently sent by former re-
publican governor of Georgia, Ru-
fus b. Bullock, who writes to the
Press urging that it is not good
policy now to stir up race prejudices
and adding that republican papers
in the North should take advantage
of the new Southern situation, by
pressing ''issues of practical inter-
est, abolition of federal internal tax
alton, protection to American labor
and liberal appropriations for our
commerce, rivers, harbors and pub
lie buildings, and we will send you
congressman who will stand with
you on all economic questions pro-
motive of the welfare-not of the
North or of the South, but of the
United States of America. These
are the questions upon which we
can divide among ourselves, and
upon which the colored man will
vote according to what he considers
to be his own best interests as a
man earning his own living. That
vote will surely be cast without
duress and will be counted as cast"
OF course, this prudent policy
should not prevent the most earnest
protests, in congress and out of it,
against any serious attempts in any
part of the country, to suppress the
suffrage, to intimdate voters or to
falsify the results of elections. But
it so happens that the republi-
can party and the ''New South may
be practically harmonized on the
great issues of internal taxation and
protection. On these issues the
South can be divided, if the repub-
licans are wisely led.-EG.

In the compilation of statistics
concerning the condition of the la
boring classes in England, Mr.. Rob
ert Porter states that there are in
that country, employed in the coal
and iron works, thousands of fam
lilies, averaging more than six r
sons to family, and with four of
these engaged in constant toll, whose
combined weekly wages amount to
little more than So per week, an
average of trifie over 50 each. 1t
is difficult to conceive how exist
enee can be sustained on such mea-
ger compensation. 1t would be i'm
possible in a country like the United
States. Not that the cost of living
is so much higher than in England,
but because the citizen of this coun-
try has been taught to believe, and
rightly, too, that the laborer is wor-
thy of his hire and is entitled to
some of the comforts of life. 1t is
needless to state that the pauper
element in that portion of England
is equalled by no other portion of
the civilized world where the inhab-
itants pretend to work at all. IL
literacy abounds as the children
must of necessity aid in the struggle
for life. In America it is the rule,
rather than the exception, that the
wOrkingman may and does come to
be the owner of his own home, or
its equivalent in a savings bank,
while facilities for acquiring a prac-
teal education are amost unpar-
aleled in the history of the world.
This condition of affairs in this
country has been reached, while
hampered, as idealists in political
economy would say. by protective
tariff. England represents a state
that may be induced in our own land
if the cry of the free traders prevails.
The democratic party embraces in
its ranks nearly all of those having
free trade tendencies. The repub-
lican party is the defender of that
system that has proven SO beneficial
to the interests of citizens of this
republic. To which party viii the
wOrkingman give his vote in the
coming contest

The strength of the cold wave which
has held New England in its icy en-
brace the past few days can but be
realized when it is understood that
many harbors on the coast are ice
bound or practically so, something
that has not been recorder since the
winter of 1874-75, when Boston Har-
Dor was lively with winter sports.
Miniature icebergs are seen in Vine
yard Sound, Nantucket Island is vir
tually frozen up, and the same may
be said of harbors along Long Island
Sound. New York was frozen over,
Monday, and ice-breakers were kept
moving to enable vessels to sail
through. Very low temperature is
recorded in all the northeastern states.
Yet but few instances are recorded
of loss of life. This horror of the
western billiards. has been escaped.

profits. The Cooley CreaHieF has stood
the test of eleven years. proving that it

The analysis of the skim milk by Prof
Babcock, of the New York Experiment
Station, shows less than a tenth of one

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. Jan. 3Oth.

w USHtHHGOUs Jun. OOtU.
Both branches of congress took a
day off last week. Neither the SEN
ate nor the house of representatives
were in session on Saturday. This
act was not necessarily the result of
laziness, however. The real work
of congress is done in the committee
rooms you know land the congression-
al committees are always at work,
whether congress is in session or TAX
ing holiday.
| will give you resume of what
has been done during the week, by
mentioning the subject of bills, which
the committees have had under con-
sideration. They include the bill APP
propiating money for The relief of the
Union National Bank of Louisiana :;
the senate bill for a bridge over the
Missouri River at St. Charles, and
the House bill for bridge over the
same river at Jefferson City; the
Dunn Free Ship bill Indian bills !;
Pacific railroad matters the bill to
repair the war ship Hartford by an
appropriation of S175, 900; the bill
accepting the invitation from the
French Republic to participate in the
Paris celebration a deficiency bill in
behalf of the signal service civil SER
vice reform suggestions, and last, be-
cause most important, the long ex-
pected tariff measure.
When the tariff bill gets to the
House, the fun of the session will be-
gin. The action of the president on
the subject and the position taken by
the "tariff for revenue only element
of the democratic party, reused all
the pugnacity that exists in the souls
of the republicans. From all indica
tons there is to be war to the knife
between the two parties, and each
will gain every point it can between
now and the nominating conventions.
The republicans opened pretentious
headquarters here, and they pay
about $500 month for their rooms.
They took the house formerly occu-
pied by the Chinese Legation, and
they have plastered its walls with
photographs and portraits of their
most noted leaders. The democrats
are doing no less work, and the wires
were long since laid which reach to
the uttermost parts of the United
States.
1t is understood now that the SEN
ate district committee will report the
bill for prohibition in this district.
At first it was supposed that the bill
would be allowed to remain Enacted
upon, but owing to the recent agita-
ton it has been deemed best to give
the senate an opportunity to act on
the question:, although majority of
the committee are ADVERSE to such
legislation.
President Cleveland has now been
in Washington nearly three years,
and during all that time, so far as is
known, he has taken but one walk on
the street, stroll in company with
Secretary Fairchild one evening last
week, from the White House to West
Washington las old Georgetown is
now called and return. This event,
from its rareness, was of so much
importance, chat the city press gave
it conspicuous mention. Presidents
Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur
were pedestrians, and often walked
the principal streets of the Capital,
their figures being familiar to the
public, but President Cleveland, with
the above solitary exception, has not

The postoffice committee reports
back adversely the proposition to re-

people to have postage reduced to
one cent.

- The Western Blizzard.

Extracts from letters received from
subscribers and friends in the west,
relative to the great storm, will be
received with interest. Miss Ida
Jones, formerly of this village, now
of Crete, Neb., who is teaching In
that town, writes as follows:
| do not know that L can give you
any clearer account of the blizzard
than you have already seen. 1t IS
said to have been the worst storm for
20 years. 1t came from the west and
travelled about 80 miles an hour. The
snow had fallen gently all day, but
the weather was quite mild. Just
after the afternoon recess which the
scholars had enjoyed to the utmost,
it grew quite dark. The wind came
up in an instant, seeming to blow
from all directions at once. The ther-
mometer did not go down very rap
idly, though / believe it was 20 de-
grees below zero before morning. The
air was so full of snow that 1T was
difficult to find ones way. Some
grown people who are somewhat &C
customed to similar storms, very
wisely sought the nearest shelter.
At the time, / did not realize that
the storm was any more severe than
those Vermont produces occasionally.
OF course the wind gains more force
because there are not so many hills
to break it. The danger is greatest
on the prairie because a person be-
comes bewildered and frequently per-
ishes not far from shelter. In sew
eral country schools, teacher and pu-
pills remained in the school-house over
night, not daring to attempt to find
their way home.
Some of my scholars, living mile
and half from town, went home
safely, but I think l should hesitate
to have them attempt it another time.
When we5 hear of the children, and
even grown people, lost in other
places, we are very thankful to have
been spared similar trial.

Geo. W. Page, formerly of this
county, writes from North Eastern
Kansas as follows:
In this part of Kansas there has
been no more suffering than there
would be in Vermont in a severe
storm. The thermometer only regis
tered about % degrees below zero.
Nearly every one here has good or at
least fair houses and barns or sheds.
Farther west and south west, where
it is new, many of the houses are only
single boarded, and poorly done at
that, so they are poor protection in a
severe storm. Cattle, perhaps, have
no protection only the hedge or the
best side of a straw stack, and of
course they suffer. An equal degree
of cold is much worse to bear out
here than in the East. | had as soon
travel with the thermometer at 10 or
at zero here. The railroads were
blocked, but it was north and west of
here from one to two hundred miles.
The greatest amount of suffering was
from three to five hundred miles north
and west of us, where the storm was
much more severe than here. The
blizzard has terror about it-like a
pararie fire and many lose their
presence of mind and lose their lives
needlessly. The weather here now is
comfortable the sleighing is good
with about five inches of snow.
Kansas is a great state, large enough
to make eight states like old Yer
mont, and while in this part of the
state the crops were good last year,
there were some parts of Kansas
or two bushels to the acre here there
was from twenty-five to fifty. One
man with a good team can care for
from thirty to forty acres of corn.
He rides his pillow to pillow it, his har-
row TO smooth it, his planter to plant
it, and also his cultiyator to cultivate
it, if he chooses, and corn is king,
While there are draw backs here and
it is not Paradise, yet | think it is
better than Vermont after al.
