The President sent message to Con-
gress on Thursday proposing retaliation
on Canada, and bill was introduced
into the House giving more power to the
retaliation act already in force. 1t was
the failure of the administrator to use
this retaliating power which was given
the President by the united voice of Con-
gress that has Disguised large portion
of the country with the treaty just re.
iected by the Senate.

SOUR COUNTY SHERIFF..
The MANCHESTER Journal of yesterda

The MANCHESTER Journal of yesterday
says of that officer:
I'VE learn that our Democratic friends have
strong hope of electing George r. Davis Of Peru,
their candidate for sheriff in place Of A. j. Pike
Of Readsboro, the Republican nominee. They
base their expectations on the fact that Mr.. Davis
is personally popular and upon the claim that
some of Mr.. Wilson's friends in Arlington and
elsewhere are sore because he was not nominated
and will not vote for Pike and some of them may
vote for Davis. In regard to the first claim there
is no denying the fact that MIR. Davis is popular
wherever he is known, but that is no reason why
Republicans should vote for him. People in this
end of the county are not acquainted with Mr.
Pike, but we have made careful inquiry and find
that he is quite as well liked where he is known
ne Mr.. DAYS. is in Peru Mr., Pike was soldier
and lost portion Of one hand in battle. He has
been deputy sheriff for several years and is well
acquainted with the duties Of the office. Mr..
Chase, court reporter said TO the writer last June
In answer to an inquiry for information that he
was well acquainted with Mr.. Pike, that he is a
good fellow and would make good and efficient
sheriff 4 elected to that office. Mr.. Chase lives
in Windham county, but not far from RcadsborO
and has every opportunity TO know Mr.. Pike
well. Hon, Silas Mason Of Readsboro and other
men Of character and veracity give the strongest
endorsement of Mr.. Pike both as to character and
efficiency as deputy sheriff for. that section Of
the county. II elected he will remove to Benz
nington where he can be easily accessible.
'ln regard to Mr., Wilson we are personally
sorry that he was not nominated simply because
we were better acquainted with him than with
Mr.. Pike, We think he would have made good
sheriff, though perhaps no better than Mr.. Pike
will. We are sorry that Mr.. Wilson's name was
not presented to the convention. but fro what
We can learn we are satisfied that the majority Of
delegates would have been favor Of Mr.. Pike, In
regard to any understanding or misunderstood.
between Mr.. Wilson and some other individual
in regard to nominating him, that is a personal
matter and ought to have no influence on the
vote one way or the other. The president OF the
convention gave ample time for the nominations
and the delegates acted in perfect good faith,and
gave us, as we think, a good nominee. At a
future time we hope to vote for Mr.. Wilson fol

NAMES ON THE CHECK LIST.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

The Vermont Law of RegIstrat zion
Compiled by a Competent Lawyer,
and Therefore Reliable.
As many persons this year will vote
who never voted before, a few sugges-
tons as to the method of getting a name
on the check list will not come amiss.
Perhaps it would be well to remark
before we go any further, that all per-
sons not born citizens should take out
their naturalization papers, that being
citizens of the nation, its affairs may be
brought more nearly home and they
may take the interest in the prosperity
of the country which they could not feel
rs aliens.
Persons who arrived in this country
prior the the age of ls years and have
retained their residence since, may OBJ
tain their papers upon application after
they have resided here five years; no
second paper being required, but in
other cases if they arrived after they be-
came Is years of age it will first be ne
cessary for them TO declare it to be BE- ma
fde their intention of becoming citizens
of the United States, etc. This is the
first step in their naturalization and
after residence of five years and at
least two years after their intention so
declared they may become citizens of
the United States, provided they can
prove by competent witnesses other
than themselves that they are of good
moral character, well disposed to our
institutions and that they have resided
in the United States at least five years
prior to that date, and in the State or
Territory at least one year. The cost
Of naturalization papers is one dollar
and may be obtained before any court
of record having seal and clerk, the
County or Municipal Court. Care should
be taken to obtain first papers prior
to the election dates is the date of the
first paper is after the election it will
bar the voter at the next election, two
years later.
QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS.
1t is necessary that the names of every
voter be upon the check list of the town
or he will be deprived of his ballot for his
neglect in allowing it to be left off. Any
person whose name is not upon said list,
which now hangs for inspection on the
east side of the post office room, must 20
before the Board of civil authority
which will meet in the selectmen's room
at,the town clerks office, Aug l3Oth, for
the purpose of revising and correcting
the list, and see that his name is placed
there. If he be young man he will
there be administered the freeman's
oath and his name will be placed upon
the list, after which he cannot be de-
priyed of his ballot except for violation
of the election laws. A person becom-
ing of age between the thirtieth and
election day may take the oath upon
election day.
A citizen who has resided in the State
one year next preceding the day of cleo
ton shall be entitled to vote for federal
and State officers wherever he may be
in the State, and for county officers in
any town in the county in which he has
resided, but person is not allowed to
vote for town officers in any town ex-
cept the one in which he has had his
residence for the three months next
preceding the day of election.

THE following item from Kansas
exchange will interest some of our
readers, The Prof. Garfield spoken OF
is the son Of the Rev. E. II. Garfield, d,
D., of Arlington. The news note says:
A student of the State University of
Kansas recently won prize of 800 for
the second best essay on Protection to
Home Industries" submitted to the
American Protective Tariff League, He
had been under the instruction of that
great Free-Trader, Prof. J. Ii. Garfield,
and this incident, togther with the fact
that nearly half his pupils as a rule be-
come believers in the Protection
theory, ought to lessen the demands
for his removal made by SO many
papers. If, as seems to be the case,
the effect OF his instruction is to
cause his pupils TO study the subject
more deeply, and be able to more
readily detect the fallacies of the
Free Trade theory, he is doing a good
work. A young man who is Protec-
zionist after having studied and salts.
factorily answered the strongest ar
guments against that theory is "souuS
in the faith" and is worth a dozen who
have never been subjected to a course of
instruction by Free Trade professor.
He has studied both sides of the subject
and mastered it, while the others have
not. Therefore we say let Garfield
alone, be is doing well enough where he
is. Like the man who reasoned that IL
the new doctrine of the Apostles was of
men it would come to nought, and il il
was of God they could not hope To pre-
vail against it, let these kickers reason
that if the doctrine of Free Trade is not
right, the keen intellect of the uniYer.
sity student will readily detect and ex-
pose its fallacies and be strengthened
thereby; and il it is right, its logic
sound and its conclusions correct, il is
useless to contend against it. The right
will prevail, in the university and else
where. dispite all the college professors

A Letter of Inquiry. HOUSE OF REPR EsENTATIyES,

HOUSE OF REPR EsENTATIvES,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 9, 1888. MEssRs. R. c. S G. w. BROWN,
 FLORENCE, ARIZONA. My Dear Sirs; A sub committee of the Committee on Public Lands, consist ing of Messrs. Holman, of Indiana; Stone of Missouri; and Payson, of Illinois, have prepared and submitted to the whole Committee bill which proposes to make extreme changes in the laws governing the disposal and occupation of Public Land.
 The proposed law provides that all public lands chiefly valuable for deposits of coal, iron, or other minerals, shall be disposed of at not less than ten dollars per acre.
 The proposed law also provides that public lands chiefly valuable for timber. shall not be sold, but the timber thereon shall be appraised and sold at not less than the appraised value, but not less than ter dollars per acre.
 Feeling convinced that the proposed legislation would take all the mineral and timber lands in the South out of the mar ket during the present generation, and there by retard our development, I am strenuously opposing the bill, and shall endeavor to prevent final action by the Committee until I can hear from the people.
 As substitute for the proposed measure I am striving to secure an amendment which will bring all public lands of every description, whether mineral, tim Der, or other, under the operation of the Home stead laws.
 am anxious in tn matter, to pro- mote the best int erests of the people of the south, and can only hope to succeed in this by being definitely informed what the people regard as their best interests. To assist me in obtaining this definite information, will you be so kind as to ask those of your readers who have stud jed and thought upon the subject, to let me know what, in their opinion, will be affect of the proposed legislation.
 The Committee is now disposed to make some concession in the line of my views, and 1t will be of great assistance to me to be possessed of a thorough knowledge of the wishes of the people.
 With high regard,
 Very truly yours,
 JOSEPH WHEELER. P. S.-Would not the proposed law operate to the injury of your people by increasing the price of fuel and lumberl
