can maintain prohibition. Much
teaching in the home, in the schools,
by the pulpit and the press IS yet
needed before the best temperance
laws can be made and enforced. The
Voice would jump at once from the
present condition, to prohibition when
the almost universal sentiment in
such states as New York is that pro-
hibitory laws can not be enforced.
We are inclined to believe the major
itv is right and the few are mistaken.
But if any good can grow out of the
utterances of the V0ice, let it speak.

The work of organizing republican
clubs is steadily going forward in all
parts of the country. Over 400 clubs
have been permanently formed in
Illinois, and at a convention in
Springfield last week 1900 delegates
were present, and organized a state
league. Mr.. James H. Foster, the
president of the republican league OF
the United States, was present, and
addressed the convention, and War
ner Miller of New York also made a
speech. There was much enthusiasm

The New Pension Bill

The pension bill passed by the
senate on Thursday was drawn with
view to meeting the objections
raised by Mr. Cleveland to the bill
he vetoed.
BY the provisions of the bill, all
honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors who served three months OIL
more, and are suffering from meutal
or physical disability, not the results
of their own vicious habits, which
totally incapacltates them for the
performance of manual labor, and
who are without other adequate
means of self-support, are placed
upon the list of invalid pensioners,
and entitled to receive SIP per month
from the date of the filing Of the
application in the pension office ;
provided that persons who are now
receiving pensions under the exist
ing laws, or whose claims are pend
ing in the pension office, may, by
application to the commissioner OF
pensions, receive the benefits of this
act, no one person being allowed
more than one pension for the same
period, and rank in the service not
being considered in applications filed.
The veneration of his people for
1.-THE Good KAISER" Notwithstanding
his absolutism, was profound and af-
fectionate. His purity and simplici-
ty of life, his unaffected piety and
trust in God, his military renown, his
public service and patriotism, the
sterling grandeur of his character, won
all hearts. His people loved to watch
for that commanding figure at the
well-known window. And on the
night when the revered life was ebb-
ing away, the dense and silent crowd
so silent, it is said, that pin-drop
might have been heard-that gather
ed spontaneously and sorrowfully
around the palace, testified to his
rare and strong hold upon the popu-
lar affection; while the eager inter-
est and grief felt the world over when
the news of his death was flashed
from Berlin. showed that the regard
in which he was held was by no means
local or national. The prompt as
sumption of the imperial title by the
Crown Prince land his departure from
San Reno for Berlin, set at rest all
question as to the succession. How
ever brief the reign of Frederick Ill.
may be, it will be a consolation to
him to know that his name will APP
pear in the roll of sovereigns, and
that his wife will inherit the title and
estates of an empress.

The Democratic Tariff Bill.

The democrats of the ways and
means committee have labored to pro-
duce a free trade bill and at the same
time to propitiate the democratic vote
in the South. The result is an incon-
gruous, shapeless, inconsistent, hap
hazard measure, which becomes more
preposterous the closer it is eXamin-
ed.
The purpose of the bill as fore
Swallowed by the presidents message,
was to reduce the surplus, which, it
is asserted, is 500, 200 per an
mum. The bill proposes to wipe out
only half of it. The probabilities
are, however, that instead of a re-
duction of duties the bill, if passed,
would increase them.
The bill formulated by Mr.. Mills
and his committee is of consequence
not because it can ever become law
in its present shape, but because it
shows what the administration and
southern free-traders are driving at,
and to what lengths they are willing
to go in carrying out their theories.
1t seems to have been prepared by
Mr.. Mills and his free-trade associ-
ates as the first step toward free-trade
and the pauperizing of American la
Dor.
THE CHIEF ADDITIONS TO THE FREE
LIST.
Following are the chief items of

Vermont Democrats Discussing
Politics.

The return of the leaders Of the
democratic party of Vermont, Collect
or Bradley b. Smalley of Burlington,
and Hiram Atkins, superintendent of
the new Federal building at Montpe-
lier, from the meeting of the demo-
cratic national committee at Wash
ington was signalized by gathering
of the state committee recently at the
house of Col. Smalley. The primary
object of the meeting was to select a
time and place for holding state
convention. Among prominent dem
ocrats at the meeting, including men,
bers af the state committee, were Col
lector B. B. Smalley of Burlington,
Superintendent Hiram Atkins of
Montpelier, Postmaster @. f. Kim
ball of Vergennes, Postmaster Thorn
as Ii. Chubb of Posts Mills, ex-Inter-
nal Revenue Collector George l..
Spear of Braintree, Don G. Pollard
of Proctorsville, John II. Senter of
Montpelier, Ii. A. Winship of Brad
ford, Z. E.Sargent of St. Johnsburv,
Waldo Brigham of Hyde Park, Alex
ander Cochrane of Ryegate and Cor
nelius H. Forbes of Brandon. The
meeting was strictly private, but it
is understood the committee Endorsed
President Cleveland, and favored
sending q solid Cleveland delegation
to the St. Louis Convention. The
subj ct of civil service reform and
the question of the interference in
elections by Federal officials was not
discussed to any great extent. The
democrats will hold but one state con-
vention for the election of delegates
to St. Louis and the nomination of
state officers. The convention will
be held at Montpelier May 10. Hon.
w. H. Bingham of Stowe will doubt
less be chairman of the delegation to
St. Louis. Ex-Judge Seneca Hazel
ton of Burlington is likely to be the
democratic nominee for governor.
Recent statements regarding the
supply and consumption of wool in
this country during the last twenty
five or thirty years bring to light
some remarkable results. 1t appears
that within twenty-nine years the
amount of wool consumed in wool
manufacture has increased from
eighty-siX millions to over four hum
dred million pounds Three years
ago more than one-fifth of all the
wool consumed in the world was
manufactured in this country. This
increase in the manufacture of wool
en- goods has been one of the fruits
of the protective tariff enacted about
the year 1860. Before the passage
of this tariff only one-ffteenth instead
OF one-fifth was manufactured in the
United States. In the meantime the
increase in the production of wool in
the country has been equally remark
able. In 1850 this production amount
ed to sixty million pounds; in 1884
to 308 million pounds. In 1853 our
tariff refomers began their work of
reducing the duties on WOO, etc. Four
years later the decline in clip reached,
as consequence, forty-three million
pounds. and this decline will continue
with accelerating steps. Our Ver-

Congressman Long of Massachu

Congressman Long of Massachu-
sets has introduced a revenue reduc-
ton bill which has been prepared by
the Home Market Club of Boston. 1t
provides for the removal of half the
duties on sugar (s25, 200, OOO); half
the internal tobacco tax ISIS, 900, OOO)
and the whole tax on alcohol used in
the arts, estimated at about 0,000,-
600 yearly; or a total reduction of
$4,000, 900 in the annual revenues.
To offset the reduction of the tariff
on sugar, it provides bounties, and
among them is one of 81 per 100
pounds on maple sugar. That is
hardly enough to encourage anybody
out boys to tap any more trees, but
it would in the aggregate bring from
100000 to 100000 a year to Yer
mont.

would require less apologizing on
the part of the publisher and less
complaint by his subscribers.

Some of our esteemed friends are
taking the pains to send US the Voice,
a prohibition paper, published by the
cheap book and periodical house,
Funk & Wagnalls, New York. The
paper is very radical on prohibi-
ton, and seems to have no federation
for any other idea for temperance
work than prohibition. The old par
ties, especially the republican party,
is berated and abused, so far as
it can be abused, because
there are men in it who are not
temperance men, and many others
who do not see good in the prohibit
ton party. There must be some
voice for the few men, who will be
unlike other men. to speak their opin-
ions through, and the New York
Voice answers the purpose. We are
of the opinion, however, that the
great religious papers, and some of
the secular papers that find their way
into thousands and thousands of fam
lies where the Voice is never heard
are doing far more for temperance
than this special organ of a special
idea. There are many localities and
many states where the people have
not reached that condition where they

Through the West and Northwest
the springtime never materializes to be
what it has been sung up to be. The
flowers that should bloom in the spring,
ira la, never disarrange bud until
summer, tra-lee; the robins poets tell
us sing mid April showers never so
much as twitter in the month of other
fools discontinue, and so-called spring
gowns might as we'll be deferred until
at least the time of school commence
ments, for all the good their possessors
get out of them before that time.
This is very hu,niliating confess
sion for the fashion recorder to make,
but an honest one. We should be
much benefited if the civil service
would only appoint a clerk of the
weather who would give us orthodox
doses of their commodity, instead Of
only tantalizing little sugar pills Of
sunshine-just enough to keep us quiet
as he does now. Then we might in
dulge in rhapsodies of pink and pearl
grays, such as the Parisians are de-
lighting in just now; we might, with a
favor of consistency, recommend hats
of daisies and buttercups, like the Ber-
liners have worn for two months. We
have the consolation, however, that the
summer acill come, and we may shed
our dull stuffs little later-nothing
can prevent it, if we only wait, and
now we cannot have long to do so.

clothes were less necessarily fine and

which the inquiry conferred was. docs
there exist in man the power to exert
intellectual activity during unconcious-

summarized under four heads; (a)
when the effort is simple, by reproduc-
ing past experiences in obedience to
mandate of the will, as in the familiar
experience of recalling lost name or
fact while consciously devoting the at
tention to something entirely different;
(b) by comparing related facts and ar
irving at settled Judgment, as in the
case of awaking from sound sleep at
Predetermined hour; Co when the
effort is more complex, by continu-
ing old trains of thought began in con-
seriousness, and proceeding logically.

clusion, as in dreaming out the solu.
