the resolution providing that official re-
porters shall be admitted to the Senate in
executive session during consideration of
the Fisheries Treaty, and that report of
the discussion be prepared subject TO the
action of the Senate as TO its publication.
Mr.. Morgan presented substitute pro-
yiding that an official report of the de.
bate shall be made and printed from day
TO day in confidence tor the information
of the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar said these resolutions should
be acted upon promptly by the Senate, as

for consideration of the treaty with open
doors.
Mr Sherman said he would ask action
on these resolutions tomorrow, and ii
would be for the Senate to decide
whether they should be disposed OF in
public or secret.
At the conclusion of morning business
the unearned land grant bill was again

done that which contributes to make
prosperous town and thriving state.
He has been an efficient town officer,
and in 1872 and again in 1882 he repre-
sented Waterbury in the legislature.
He is a man of the people and his legis-
lative career was distinguished by an
instructive regard for the popular well
fare and championship of practical
measures for lettering the condition of
the people at large. In his public life,
as in his business enterprises, he has
displayed originality, push, resource,
industry and resolution.
The above is the senatorial situation,
as we understand it, and what is in
tended to be an impartial characterize
ton of the candidates. They are all
good men, every one of them; all are
our personal friends and we would be
glad to see them all senators, and ex-
pect to some time. The people must
decide which one will be taken this
year, and the candidates all express a
laudable willingness to leave the mat
ter where it belongs--to the people.
AS to the remaining offices, we are
informed that the names of Russell
Sawyer of Moretown and II. w. Lyford
of Warren will be presented for the
office of assistant judge. Both are
competent men-Mr. Sawyer is sturdy
farmer and Mr.. Lyford was formerly
sheriff, an office he filled with en-
tire acceptance. For sheriff, Deputy
Howe's friends at Mortified will press
his claims and qualifications. Mr.
Anterior has made a record of such an
exceptional character that we are not
surprised TO hear from various quarters
a wish expressed that the unusual honor
of fourth successive election be
bestowed upon him. His position is
entirely honorable to him-he is not
seeking another nomination but will
not decline one if it is rendered. For
states attorney, Mr. Bisbee will re-
ceive the customary denomination, and
Mr.. Carleton will have no competitor
for the office of judge of probate.

Democratic Tributes to Protection.

AS the debate on the Mills bill drew
to its close the democracy hedged
with the desperation of men who have
made fatal mistake and have walked
up to a realizing sense of the fact.
Seventeen articles which by this bill
were placed originally on the free list
were restored to the dutiabe schedule
and the rate made sufficient to protect
American producers.
For example, potatoes were at first
made duty free, but in the face of the
indignant protest of the farmers, who
at the existing rate suffer from injuri-
Gus foreign competition, the tariff was
restored. Potatoes are brought across
the Atlantic to American ports at lower
rates of freight than Vermont or New
York farmer pays to the same markets.
But it was Difference to the farmers in
the potato-producing section of New
York, whose votes may be needed in the
"pivotal state in November, that Sc
cured this concession to northern agri-
culture, not recognition of the in
trinsic right and justice of protection
to this branch of American industry.
Glue was put on the free list, but
democratic representative of Chicago
district in which this industry was in
the ascendant presented the necessity
of sticking this contingent firmly to the
democratic column in the Sucker State.
So the democratic doctrine enunciated
by Hancock eight years ago, that the
tariff is purely ga local ISSUE" was en-
forced, and glue was returned to the
dutiable list.
Thus the tariff is reformed =" by the
democracy-not on any broad national
basis, but with sole reference to its use
as local political agency for securing
or holding votes in pressing emer-
gency. The work of reform has been
undertaken not by broad-minded, clear
visioned statesmen, who understand the
subject and are animated by a patriotic
purpose, but by political thinkers and
tricksters, who make great and benefi-
cent system serve the ends of exceed
ingly narrow party politics. Where
protection will gain votes in doubtful
locality the tariff is maintained; where
free-trade can be successfully advo-
Gated free-trade is the slogan. Four
years of national administration on
this basis is all the American people
want at one time, and they don't want
it oftener than once in twenty-five years.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-07-25

steadfastly opposed. We have advo-
Gated reform of certain injurious prac-
tees and methods in the conduct of
railway business in this state, but this
opposition and this advocacy of pro-
posed reforms have not been aimed
distinctively at the Central railway,
except so far as we believed that cor
poration may have been distinctvely a
volator of salutary rules and sound
principles in business or politics. No
one has written or spoken heartier or
more Just words of commentator of
certain praiseworthy features of the
Central management or certain acts
that were commendable and apparently
patriotic, and we have faithfully en-
deavored to be as sincere and just in
condemnation of certain other things
which we believe are opposed to
wholesome public morals and the pub
lie welfare. With unfeigned satisfac-
ton we have seen the beginning of the
triumph of our " ideas" their growing
popularity and their incorporation into
the platform of the republican party of
the state. 1t really does look as if
there was considerable strength " in
them and that they are bound to get
along" Speed the day.

Attention, Committeeman.

The attention of republican town
committees is called to section two, acts
of 1884, relating to elections, to which
reference was made last week. The
following is the section:
The seectmen in each town SHALL at least
thirty days before a freemens meeting,
make an alphabetical list of the persons
qualified to vote in such freemen's meeting,
and shall Immediately cause copies of such
list to be posted in two or more public
places in such town and a copy to be filed
in the town clerks Office Upon such
checklist shall be stated against the name
of each voter, the street and number of his
residence, and where the streets are not
named and numbered the school district in
which he resides and against the name of
each person on the list who has not resided
in the town for which the list is made three
months next previous to the freemens meet
ing for which the list is made shall be
stated that such person is disqualified to vote
for town representative and justices.

Some Misrepresentation.

There are queer turnabouts in newspaper
circles as well as in other businesses.
Several years ago Arthur Ropes was editor
of the Montpelier (Vt.) WATcHMAN and
made it distinctively anti-Central Yer
mont paper. Some four years ago the
WATcHMAN was gotten possession of by
gentlemen more friendly to the railroad in
terest and Mr., Ropes was deposed from the
editorship to make way for Mr.. ID. W.
Dixon, who had been editor on paper in
st. Adams, where the railroad headquarters
We're located. Now we notice that the
paper has again changed front, and that Mr.
Ropes, who meantime has been editing a
small sheet in the town, but adhering to his
former ideas, is recalled to his old place. 1t
looks as il there was considerable strength
in that Ropes, and that he is one of the men
who is bound to get along any way.-Bos.
ton Record.
1t is erroneous to say that we made
the WATCHMAN a distinctively anti
Central Vermont paper" We have
stood, and still stand, on higher ground
than fractional opposition to any inter-
est, corporate or individual. Certain
practices and methods common to all
the railways, but which we believed to
be hostile to the general good, we have

A Pertinent Call.

General Clinton B. Fisk, the prohibit
ton nominee for president, is accredited
with the following three sentences in
his Fourth of July address at Wood
stock, Conn:
"He 1.-THE saloon-keeperl sits supreme in
the national congress and makes laws in the
country's capital" He governs courts of
justice and makes ministers of the law and
legislatures his lackeys." " He silences the
preacher in his pulpit and muzzles the
editor at his desk"
This is serious indictment. We
call for specifications. This campaign
is to be carried by cold facts, not by
fiery rhetoric. We have great respect
for General Fisk, but we are afraid that
he has set bad example to political
orators in these three sentences. The
country may not have passed all the
laws it should against the saloon, but
it would be difficult to indicate any
which have been passed in the last five
years in its favor. The national con-
gress has unanimously passed law
providing for public education on the
subject of temperance in the District
of Columbia and the territories. What
has it passed to counterbalance this for
the benefit of the saloon? The courts
have held that the legislative bodies
have supreme power to regulate or
prohibit the liquor traffic. What de-
cisions have they made to counter
balance this in the interest of the
saloon? The legislatures have re-
fused to break down the Sunday law,
have raised the license fee, have es-
tablished local option, have passed
prohibitory laws. What have they
done to counterbalance these acts for
the benefit of the saloon? The preach
ers of almost every denomination have
passed ringing resolutions against the
liquor traffic and the saloon. What
have they done to counterbalance these
resolutions in favor of the saloon? We
do not believe that ten per cent of the
clergy, including the Catholic priest
hood and the Hardshell Baptist preach
ers of the Southwest, are silent in the
pulpit respecting the evils of intemper-
ance. General Fisk makes mistake
when he counts in favor of the saloon
men who are as much in earnest as
himself in fighting the saloon, but who
think they can fight it to better adj
vantage in different way.-ChriStion

democrats are coming over to the re-
publicans on account of Cleveland's
incapacity and unfaithfulness to his
pledges and to the free-trade policy of
his party. But, as Representative
Reed of Maine intimated recently in
the house, if the democrats really be-
lieved the republicans meant to make
whiskey free, enough of them would not
be left supporting Cleveland on cleo
ton day to make up the number of
electors to which each state is entitled.
The fact that nine out of every ten
democrats have not come over to Har-
rison's support is conclusive proof that
the democrats know that their cry that
"the republicans want free whiskey" is
a clumsy and transparent sham.-St
Louis Globe Democrat
