The great republican victory of 1858 has
been won against greater odds than the
party has had TO contend with in any ma
tional campaign since it elected Abraham
Lincoln in 1860. la that memorable con
test the new party was borne into power
by the Irresistible tide Of feeling which
animated the North in opposition to the
enc roachments of the slave power. No
such universal sentiment now fused all
patriotic hearts together irrespective Of
party lines, though It Is true that many

true reform, and enlightened care for the
public good to party. The democratic par

had made u cleaner sweep of the Offices
than was ever made by o successful party
Its managers handled the largest corrup-
ton fund eyer accumulated in the coun-
try. They were desperately determined
to win, and were only Kept from accomp-

Leans who left the party four years ago,
from distrust of Blaine aud devotion to
the theory of free trade, and have gone
over to the democratic as the party of free

They had control, by fair and foul
means, of every southern State, with

The Burlington independent in an ar
ticle referring to the appeal of the Yer
ment State University to the Legislature
for aid to enable 1t to carry out the pur-
poses of its founders and to accomplish
more for the public good, alluded to a GER
tain sequestration of funds belonging to
the schools, by the Legislature, forty odd
years ago, as misrepresentation of funds
raised for the University. In subse-
quent article the Independent made the
following more correct statement of the
facts. 1t is not an altogether creditable
page from the history OF our State ; but
having copied the previous article it is
due to the Independent and the public
that we should copy the correction
In 1925 Vermont laid the foundation for

small sums to it for twenty y ars. In 1915
the interest and additions had increased

Unfortunately the State was then IN debt
for nearly that amount mostly for a State
house it had then recently built, and still
more unfortunately the State was in full
legal possession aud control of the funds.
The act under which the funds had been
raised provided that they were not TO be
turned over or used until the sum raised
should be large enough so that the inter

fund from the purposes for which it had
been appropriated twenty years before,
and which successive Legislatures by their
acts, from time to time in the premises
had approved, was one Of the basest acts
any Vermont LEGISLATURE or the Legisla-
ture Of any other state was ever guilty of.

Don't fail to read "Cressy" by Bret
HarLe
The w. G. T. U. in Politics.

Some fifteen years ago body of noble
women formed the Womans Christian
Temperance Union. It's most worthy OBJ
jects were to promote temperance, to re
claim the fallen, and to educate the public
TO high plane of moral and religious
duty, in reference to the great evil of in
temperance with its train of appalling
consequences, commanded the respect and
approval of all right minded persons. A
clause in its constitution forbade the dis
Cussion Of political subjects and it receiv-
ed the cordial support of men and women
OF all shades of religion and political be-
lief. It's broad platform and the noble
work which it was doing afforded reason
20 hope that it would long continue as q
power for good in the land.
But change, and that not for the bet
ter has taken place in the organization.
Against the protest Of some of its wisest
aud worthest members, IL has become
largely political machine. It's leaders
first transformed it into a Woman Suf-
frage society, and have now thrown the
| organization into the embrace of the Fisk
aud Brooks party. The president OF the
| union, Miss Willard, has been campaign
ing for the third party which boasts that
is main object is the destruction of the
republican party, and at tne annual con
| vantiou v INCH has just closed in New
! York the clause of the constitution for
| bidding political discussion was repealed
/ The clause had been more or less of Il
! dead letter for several years in some Of
| the branch organizations and the ac-
! JjOu Oh the general convention was
.Ae one remaining step necessary
10 place the union before the world as u
political organization. How Mrs. Foster,
/ at ne head u the Iowa State union, pro-
! tested against this suicidal course, and
with what disregard alike Of courtesy and
| parliamentary law the Iowa protest was
denied even a hearing, has been already
reported III our columns. The New York
convention realiirmei the allegiance of the
national body To the third party, adopted
the usual plank in favor of woman sui
frsge, and came near adopting a resolu.
tiun to the effect that any member OF the
". q. T.. L. VINO dares 10 antagonize its
policy towardtthe third.party should be de
clared disloyal to the women's organize
ton. This WAS little too strong, and VIZ
believe WAS smothered in some way.
No one questions the right of the womeI
who control this union TO do with it q,
they please; but when they have perverted
il from its original purpose and made o.
it a political body, to serve as a tail to the
third party kite, they must accept
the consequences. The National Wo
mems Christian Temperance UnoI
as national body has seen It's best days
1t seeks and can claim only party support
And the State and local unions, which
have resisted these Tenderness and endeav
or TO confine their work to its legitimat,
and noble object, will alone command tn,
approval and support of good people of al
parties
