 Judge Thurman in his Chicago speech thus answered a criticism of his Port Huron speech.
 Why, my friends, I saw the other day in paper, somebody who was reviewing a speech that l had the honor to make up there at Port Hu- ron in Michigan. said that Judge Thurman was wholly mistaken in saying that there would be any such surplus revenue in the treasury next year. We'll wondered when saw that what could possibly be the the meaning of it; but l have seen an explanation Of it since in q New York paper, and it means simply this: That there are schemes on foot to make approprlptlons to the amount ofS60 900, ,0OO or 70. .00O, 900, or $50. 900 .OOO for which there is no necessity whatsoever, and which IS just throwing way that much of the peoples money. "Thats SO. ) Well if they proceed in that way, if they take your money to the amount of S1OO, 900 ,OOO a year then scatter it broadsast to the favorites for their benefit and not for the benefit of the people at large, why then they can deplete the treasury. Then, if they raised, $500 ,OOO. .0OO of surplus i'll a year they could squander it all, but that is not the kind of government our forefathers intended that we should have. They intended that we shonld have an honest, frugal economical, republican, democratic form of government-that is the kind of government. (Applause) They ney CT intended that we. should collect S1OO. .OOO 1000 of taxes and then span der it uselessly and eNtravagantly without reason in order to get rid Of the slrplu.. Isn't it necessary to stop thi. collection of .his great surplus. and, if it is as Grant in his message to congress said t was, and Arthur iu his message to congre,s ,s said it was, and Garfield in his speech ia the house of representative said it was, and John John sherman in his speech the other day at Gin ein1ati to the Chamber of commerce said it was--if all these people ad- init and common sense teaches Us that It iS necessary to reduce the surplus. the question is: How can 1t be reduced; Isn't plain answer reduce the taxes? If you reduce the taxes, then the government will not collect more money than 1t has any necessity for: but if you keep up these high taxes, then the gov ernmcnt continues to take money out of your pockets for which il has no earthly use and pile it un in the treasury or squander 1t away. Now the issue is fairly made up, The democrats say, reduce the taxes they are too high. There are paid, insidiously paid, insidiously drawn from the pockets of the people by means of q high protective tariff, which ought to be reduced. l say insidiously because my friends when the tax-gathercr of Illinois comes around and takes list of your prop erty, and puts down the amount of taxes that you are to pay, you know exactly what you have to pay and upon what you have to pay it.

Vermont soldiers, Home.

Our exchanges North had this item.
1t is understood that the meeting here
today is to perfect the plans outlined
herein as follows: A meeting of the
finance committee of the trustees of the
Vermont Soldiers Home was held at
Montpelier. on Wednesday Feb. 10Th
with reference to the enlargement of
the home, and plans were submitted
which will be presented to the full board
of trustees at their next meeting.
The plans contemplate wing to ex,
tend to the east, "a continuation of the old
ell part, which will be raised and made
two stories high. The addition will be
60x32 feet, making the wing 100 feet
long. On the lower floor of the add
ton there will be dining room 35x3l
feet, reception and smoking room
3lxl5 leet with water closet ad joining
On the second floor Of the entire wing
there will be 10 sleeping rooms, each
9x12 feet, for the inmates, and a large
hospital room 2Ox31 feet, which will
accommodate 12 single beds. There
will also he on this floor bath room
and three water CLOSETS, and a medi
cine room will open off from the hospi-
tai, The latter will he located at the
end of the wing directly over the recep..
ton room, and spacious fire places will
open off from each into a large chin
ney. The addition will provide accom-
modatiOns for 40 inmates, making the
total capacity of the Home about 20.
The main part is 36x46 feet and three
stories high including the attic, which
is finished off The attic of the addition
can be equipped with dormer windows
and finished off whenever it is desirable.
which will make the total capacity of
the Home about 100.
The proposed enlargement has been
rendered necessary by the present crowd
ed condition of the Home. The plans
have been submitted to p. II. Rim, the
architect of the Bennington battle mon
ument, and he pronounces them feast
BILE and says that the erection of the ad
dition is the best thing that could be
done under the circumstances. 1t will
be better than the erection of a separate
building as it will increase the home like
appearance of the structure. which ef
feet will be still further augmented by
the erection of a broad piazza on the
south side Of the wing for distance Of
go feet.
The expense Of the addition will be
about $4,000, exclusive of the heating
and furnishing, which will probably
cost $4,000 more.
Since the above was in type we learn
that the proposed trustee meeting has
been adjourned until next week.
