experts would be scientific in its treat
ment, in distinction from the Mills bill
whose "Teforms" are dictated by policy

We quote Mr.. Mills himself in evil

his Democratic supporters:
Not long ago delegation of Philadel

recting the worsted and waste clauses OF

What do Bennington County wool
growers think of this showing2 A vote
for Cleveland is vote to perpetuate this
free trade tendency; vote for Harri
son is vote to restore wool and other
products to their normal price and ia

MASONIC TEMPLE

The Herald publishes what it terms
"a weak movement on foot to secure it's
erection in Burlington" in these words:
THE State grand MASONIC bodies have
appointed committees to confer with
similar committees appointed by the
Burlington Masonic bodies to see what
arrangements can be made for the cree
ton of Masonic temple in that city,"
And then explains: Rutland Masons
declare that they will not assist in the
erection of Masonic templs at Burling
ton and will do all they can to defeat
the project. II Is understood that none

in favor of the erection of temple al
Blu linRtoD, 80 that the meeting that has
been called will probably prove fizzle.'
Why should not Bennington put in a
claim for this building? We are the
original capital of Vermont; and for
many years the history of Bennington
was the history of the State. Moreover
the Battle Monument is here, the sol
dicrs home also, and as TO being at one
side, these Grand bodies have met for
y ars at Burlington which IL zone

From indications in print it is fail
inference that the third party Prohibi'
tionists in this State rely principally
upon the preachers in the Methodist
church to further their cause. This is
shown by the activity ofSecretary Story
OF the convention and others we could
name. But they will "reckon without
their host" in the Burlington District
if these politicians think they can get
any strength from the Methodist clergy.
The Vermont Conference preachers may
go into the Third Party en- mdSse. but
the Burlington District ministers are
another race. They are broader, know
something of Democracy outside of
Vermont and are not to be caught in
this political net any more than they
were in the consolidation scheme in
their church affairs few years ago.
The organ of the Vermont Conference,
however, lions Herald is out squarely
against this pervertion to politics. The

Vermont Conference preachers, some
thing of poet, wrote of another mat

Prohibitionists:

The communication af Maj. Valentino

When it is considered what unwashed

is of interest in connection with .he

the Chicago Convention a passenger on

river at Detroit and enter Michigan
Substantially the same soil, the same
climate, are found each side of the river.
The appearance Of the country well il.

American and the English systems,
The farmers in Canada are living in one
story houses, have miserable barns, and
poor fences. The Michigan farmers are
comfortably housed, outhouses all in
good condition, fences well built. You
let the theory of President Cleveland
prevail, and there will be a half story
added to the houses Of the Canadian
farmers, and half story will be taken
from the houses of the farmers of Mich.

Our conscientious Third Party friends
who cannot vote the Republican ticket
because the Republicans are not unitedly
and first Of all for prohibition, vote with
complacency a ticket that secures the
defeat of every temperance measure, and
then attempt to throw the responsibility
upon the Republicans. The principle is
precisely that of the person who draws
bead on me and says "Your purse or
your life, and on you rests the RESPONSE
bility of the saving or loss Of your life. "
The attempt to throw the responsibility
on those who resist objectionable meas
ures is amusing as well as misleading,
assuming that they are all right who
urge the measures and they all wrong,
who oppose them, that conscientious.
ness is all on their side and the latter
have none, and they ought first Of all to
abandon all their theories of govern
mental policy and unite with the former
and then we shoul1 have things our
own way. If not, you have all the re-
sponsibility for tie ruin that will come.
They never admit that they precipitate
the ruin and think that nobody can
charge them with 1t. But this is the
charge they must face. Their con-
scientiousness is the blindest will. and
their inhexible design to maintain it is
the ruin Of their cause.-lT, s. Hubbard

The appearance of a railroad man in
the st. Adams CAUCUS last week had the
effect upon some of the Franklin
County Republicans that the shaking OF
a red bandana before mad bull would
produce. We are a little suspicious Of
Republicanism that goes INTO spasms be-
cause some one else besides farmers and
mechanics happen to take an interest in
politics, Suppose we had no railroads,
what thenP And if we continue to reap
the benefits of modern railroads some
body must manage and own them
hence this blind prejudice is worse than
foolish.
