Our cemetery association was organ
lied in 1857, the trustees at once bought
six acres of land of Horace Knapp for
5000, toward which 90 of our citizens
contributed 5000, and took in payment
one lot each, at an appraisal of $40. In
1863 the balance of the debt was paid,
the grounds were laid out into 800 lots,
leaving quite proportion for frontage,
driveway, etc. There has been sold
$50 lots at about an average of SIS
each, the first being sold at $40, and
from time to time the price has been
advanced until now the lots are being
fast taken at $50. The receipts to date
are about $1,000. Some $3.50 have
been invested in an aqueduct, bringing
water One-half mile to the highest
point. The trustees are about to lay
out 5000 in hearse house, fences, and
repairs on water works. When the
contemplated repairs are made the GEM
etery will be second to none in the
state. There are many lots that have
been fitted up at an expense of from
$500 to $500. The owners are resi-
dents of several towns in Caledonia
and Essex counties, there being 10
from West Concord village. Several
lots are owned by parties out of the
state.

MIR. Billiards. Speech.

The CaledOnian heartily congratu-
lates Hon. Henry Ballard of Burlington
for giving the republicans of st. Johns
bury campaign speech mixed with
brains. We believe such an address
will win more votes than half a dozen
stump speeches from orators, so call
ed, filled with nothing but buncombe
and cheap wit. Mr.. Ballard presented,
with few exceptions, stirring, strong
and logical argument for republican
principles and candidates.
These exceptions ought not to be
passed by unnOticed, however. Do the
republicans really believe that "our
foreign ministers are cOpperheads and
apologizing for the war; 2" Let us see.
Hon. Z. J. Phelps of Vermont is one
of our foreign ministers, and that Ill
tra-repubican journal, the New York
Tribune, and it's London correspOn-
dent, have been praising him ever
since his arrival at the Court of st.
James.
Again, reference to one who has
since been confirmed chief justice as
"Fuller, an unknown lawyer" reminds
us of that unfortunate and undignified
reference of Senator Ingalls, to the New
Jersey congressman as "some fellow
like Phelps" We venture to say that
when our Vermont lawyer was called
from the chair of international law at
Yale college to the English capital that
there were a good many public men in
Chicago who had never heard of Mr..
Phelps before. And as for Mr.. Fuller's
reasonable acts we would rather &C
cept the testimony of the two republi-
can senators from Illinois, where he
iUas known, and the other six republi-
can senators who voted for his con-
firmatiOn than one who virtually ac-
knowledges that he knows nothing of
him. In this connection could be cit
ed the Boston Journal who has always
considered his nomination an excellent
one and whose comment on his con-
firmatiOn appears in another column.

Justice to Russia.

Mr.. Curtis from his chatty Easy
Chair in Harper's Magazine for Aug
ust calls a halt on the wholesale de-
nunciation of Russia and Russian meth
DDS and customs that have come to be
so much in vogue. While we were alb
sOrbed in our tremendous controversy
and war, in which slavery persisted,
says Mr.. Curtis, the Car of Russia
freed the serfs-a strange CLEAN of
light in that despOtic darkness and
while Europe held alOof and indiffeI-
ent, Russia was the frank and open
friend of the government of the Union
in this country. And now while the
recent wide circulation of the Russian
novels, which deepen old Impressions
of despotic Russia, is very general,
and these tales make a direct and
strong appeal to the sympathy of
ChristendOm, comes the unexpected
announcement of the proposed aban-
donment by the Russian government
of the whole system of Siberian exile.
The situation in the best light is sad
enough, still it is encouraging to know
that "upon the vast and remote and
mysterious empire the force of modern
intelligence, invention and progress,
'the fierce light of liberty does not
beat in vain.u

The Mills Tariff BiI1 Passed

Gratis, Bliss, Merriam and Greenman

vania, voted in the negative, and Fo-
ran of Ohio, who made a speech
against the bill, sat in his seat and re-
fused to vote. Randall of Pa (dem.)
was paired against the bill. Three re-
publicans, Fitch of New York, Brewer
of North Carolina and Nelson of Min
nesota, voted for the bill. Two months
ago, over twenty democrats assured
Mr.. Randall that they would vote

great applause on the democratic side.

the whole thing is regarded as bit of

Flag Raising.

The republicans put out their flag
Saturday evening from poles in front of
Woods store. Judge Ezra Parks pre-
sided and introduced as the first speak
or David Foster of Burlington, "the
son of democrat but good republi-
can" Mr.. Foster, after briefly refer
ring to his pleasure at being in his ma
tive town and greeting old friends, de-
livered ringing speech. He called
attention to the years before the war
and the attitude of the opposing parties
at that time, to the bandanna and its
significance, but especially to the sub
ject of protection which he discussed
ably and at some length. Capt. P. d.
BlOdgett followed with reference to the
flag and what it stood for, and to the
importance of the protection issue in
this campaign. He was an American
and not a democrat or an Englishman
and was for American institutions and
American prosperity. Josiah Kinner-
son came next, who enlisted and served
as private soldier, and who urgently
requested his friends to lock him up or
send him to Brattleboro should he ever
be found voting the democratic ticket.
1t began to rain before he got through
but that made no difference with the
crowd that heard him through and
cheered him to the echo. The Lyn-
donville band furnished good music, a
bonfire was built in the square and the
raising was great success.

crowd that was in attendance showed
much enthusiasm and cheered loudly
for the candidates they expect will be
victorious this fall.
Experience has taught during the

give money very generously for pOliti-
cal purposes when the opportunity
presents itself. This is all right OF
course and we do not object to it, but
at the same time we cannot help think
ing that to use the same amount OF
money in building sidewalks and put
ting a fence around the common would
have showed a more patriotic spirit
flags.

VERMONT PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of the Vermont
Press Association was held last week
Wednesday, July Is. The editors
with their wives and invited friends
went to Saratoga on Tuesday in two
parties of about 80 each one division
going via Burlington and Lake Cham
plain and the other by way of Rutland
and the Delaware and Hudson rail-
road The association was quartered
at Congress Hall, a hotel of immense
proportions and unlimited resources.
Tuesday evening and Wednesday fore
noon were spent in seeing the sights
of this great American watering place.
The springs, the lake, Hilton's place,
Mount McGregOr, ETC., were visited ac
cording to the will of the various mem
bers of the party.
On Wednesday afternoon the asso-
citation took cars to Caldwell, the
northern extremity of Lake George,
and there embarked on a steamer for
a ride through this, the most charming
of all American lakes. After zig-zag-
ging frem shore to shore for some two
hours, the Sycamore hotel was reach
ed, where the association was quarter
ed. This hotel is on an island of about
IS acres, joined to the main land by a
bridge. The hotel itself is unique in
design, finely kept and delightfully."-
located i'll IL grove that slopes down to
the lake. The grounds are tastefully
laid out and beautifully ornamented.
Altogether this is one of the most
charming spots that man has yet dis
covered and adorned, and the stay of
this party there was all too short.
Wednesday evening the annual
meeting was held i'll the music rooms
of the hotel. President Benedict of
the Burlington Free Press presided,
and in calling the meeting to order re-
frrred to the historic associations con-
nected with Lake George, and cOngrat-
ulated the association on the fact that
death had not invaded the ranks of the
fraternity during the year. Walter
B. Gates of the Burlington Free Press,
Arthur F. Stone of the St. JOhnsbury
Caledonian, Reuben Brush of the Cam
bridge Transcript, E. B. Hildreth and
Leonard Fales, job printers of Brattle-

The Boston Advertiser, staunch re-
publican, speaking of the passage of the
Mills bill in the house and the certain
ty that it will be defeated in the SEN
ate, suggests the positive necessity that
the republican senate must offer in its
stead practical. measure of revenue
reduction which will commend itself to
the country by contrast, as a certain,
straightforward and acceptable method
of flisposing of the surplus without in
jury to any thriving American indus
try. Negation alone, where the repub-
licans are in the majority, will not be
all that is justly to be looked for.
