This is a summary of the proceedings
In the strike at Chicago up to yesterday
morning: The Burlington officials are
preparing for general advance, and
will offer their cars to all the roads.
There is rumor that they will be
thwal ted in this by the spiking of con-
Meeting switches. The Conductors As
ISOLATION is out with scathiDg criticism
of the Brotherhood engineers, but Chief
Arthur expresses only contempt for such
an arraignment. The Michigan Central
employees returned to work. The Bur.
lington road has entered proceedings
against the Rock Island and Belt lines
for refusing 20" freight The Belt of.
ficials stated their position to their EN-
ployes, and these finally consented tC
handle the freight. The lumbermen
have come to the assistance OF the Bur
Iington road and threaten with lega
proceedings any line which shall refuse
to haul their lumber. The demand
which the labor organizations are now
making of railroad managers in the
West IS distinct and Ineligible, but tC
Weld to it is worse than to reject it
even though the immediate cOnsequen
ces of the latter policy are injurious
The law says that read shall make nc
discrimination in receiving freight from
other roads. The engineers and tiremen
and switchmen say that the roads shal!
make such discrimination, and that il
they will not make it, their traffic shall
be stopped, and the business of the coun-

OLD AND NEW CIVILIZATION

The ancient classical civilization was
founded on an enormous consumption of
human power. The whole fabric was
maintained by the expenditure of slave
power underneath. The modern civili-
cation is built upon machines and nat
ural agents, brought into play through
machines, that is, through capital. Here
in lies the true emancipation of men and
the true abolition of slavery. Can we
keep the advantages and comforts of a
high civilization. based on capital, while
attacking the social institutions by.which
the creation Of capital is secured? And
are we prepared to give up the comforts
of civilization rather than continue to
pay the price of them? No one who forms
his judgments on a study of facts can
answer the first question in the afiirma-
tive; no one who is familiar with cur
rent thought will say that people are pre-
pared to give an affirmative answer to
the second.-[Prof. Sumner of Yale Col

Democratic newspapers with ceasless
disregard of truth and facts, keep reit.
Grating that the tariff does not protect
farmers and working people, and In or
der to mislead their readers and obscure
the true issue, they ser forth vaporings
about giant monopolies and opulent
trusts, This is dishonest and dishOnor-
able warfare, In the first place the most
remorseless and dangerous trust In the
Countrywide Standard Oil trust-gave
an enormous sum to swell the Demo-
cratic corruption fund in 1884. 1t was
the price paid for the appointment OF
the representative of the trust in the
Cabinet of the President of the United
States. Men wondered why William G..
Whitney, who never held any more i'm
portant Office than Corporation Counsel
of the City of New York. should be sud
denly jumped to position IN the Cabi-
net. No Influential element had asked
for the appointment. Whitney had no
personal following, yet up he went. The
explanation lies in the fact that the
place was bought for him by the Stand
are Oil Company, He was placed there
to guard the interests of the cormOrant
trust. So much for the Democratic cry

Brick POmeroy on tho Maple Sugar
Exchange.

HAChhhSo'
Vermont makes 100000 pounds OF
sugar each year from her maple trees,
worth $75O,OOO. The product is deli
cacy. 1t is brought out of the State
distilled with water and chemicals, glu.
cose and coloriog matter, till the pro,
duct is about so, 0O0,OG0 pounds. Some
of this is made into a vinegarish CON-
pound, put up in tin cans and sold as
pure Vermont maple molasses, when
three cans of it poured against the roots
of maple tree would make it rise up
out of the ground and tremble, and five
cans full would kill six maple trees and
five acres Of sweet corn. Why the
doggoned bowel-disturber sold as pure
Vermont maple syrup is no more the
pure stuff than Dakota blizzard is a
good time for sick boy to swim. When
the diluted, Disguised, dSgraced Yer
mont maple sugar is made up into boot
heel gobs and baked mud color wabs and
deposited in the stomach of the child, it
is good ground for belief in total deprav-
ity and for being a mugwump.
If Vermont will declare for a standard
as to sweets and the condition OF it's
maple sugar; a standard form for mar
ket; establish package style and can
for marketing this delicious product, and
the law make the adulterating Of maple
sugar state prison offence al the rate
of year for every pound of adul,erated
article offered, the maple sugar crop of
Vermont will double in value without
addition to the quantity.

DAYS to the Hon. VIM. z. Dillingham;,
The Hon. B. D. Harris of Brattleboro
has written letter, Withdrawing his
name fIom mention as a candidate
Lieutenant Governor Fuller has recently
told his friends that he is not to be a
cadidate. This clears the field 30 far as
Windham county IS concerned; for Col
one Hooker, though mentioned, has not
at any time been candidate. The Her
aid says 1T is by no means certain
that one or more of these gentlemen will
not some day be governor" 1t is said
that, in view of the pledge that was
made for him in convention two years
ago, Col. Fuller recognized hat he could
not now be a candidate. and that if Mr..
Harris had chosen to he would have re
ceived the solid support of the Wind
ham county delegation. We cannot
make our support of Mr.. Dillingham;
stronger than it already is. 1t may be
well to say in this connection, that he
has consented to the use of his name,
that he will be an ideal candidate and
make an impartial executive, whose ser
vices will be as creditable to the State
as that of his ilIustrious father.

The Republican victory in Hartford,
Conn.,, at the city election Monday was
unexpected. The city is Democratic and
that party ran a good man for mayor,
The Republicans also made a good NOM

We think there is a reason for this.
New England does not look with favor

continued of giving both the executive
