1t would be strange thing If the tax

sire to have theaheriff's s Office administered

Sheriff Bullock inaugurated and has so
successfully carried out. The tramp nui-
sance has been abated, thus saving the
county the expense oE supporting numer-
Gus justices, marshals and colistables.
the people along the thoroug hfares usually
traversed by the tramp fraternity, havs
been comparatively unanneyed. Our coun-
ty Jail has become very unpopular with the
genus tramp, because of the sheriff's deter
mlpation to make 1t an unpleasant abid-

wondering how Jefferson county had beeu.
freed from the great nuisance. Nov, tho,
people Of Jefferson county care very little
what party label the sheriff wears 30 long
as he will work for the interest of the
whole people of the county. They know
what has been accomplished, and will un-
doubtedlys favor continuing the same
policy. Calvin Cheney, of Watertown,
IS In hearty accord with the sherif's pres
ent management, and will receive heavy
support from people of ell parties Oh ac-
count OF that fact. It will not do to take
q backward step, because all know how

What an Old Soldier Thinks.

Editor Of Wdtchmdn Aside from liberal
appropriations for the Soldiers Home, vari-
Gus monuments, etc, it is proposed no
tice to make fundamental distinction be-
tween old soldiers-(without regard to the
length, character or value OF their services
or to their present health and financial con-
dition)-and all other citizens by exempting
soldiers from poll tax at the age of sixty
Is this wise measure and will old soldiers
themselves, as a class, be satisfied with it
Do such old soldiers as Governor Proctor
and Lieutenant Governor Woodbury., for in
stance, who have accumulated great wealth
and upon whom high political honors have
been worthily bestowed by their fellow
citizens, desire to be thus set apart and eX-
empted from any part of the burdens of
taxation to which all other citizens are sub
ject? All agree that the state should pro-
vide literally for all old soldiers who are
helpless and in need, but in doing this there
can be no good reason why our basis OF tax
alton should be changed, and especially in
favor of those now enjoying full health and
vigor and an abundance of this worlds
goods, and thus system of class legislation
introduced that ought always to be avoided
Vermont, with her seven dollars month
extra pay, to her honor be it said, has dealt
more generously with her soldiers than any
other state in the Union, and the business and
political prosperity since achieved by not a
few of them had its origin largely in their
military services and experiences. 1t there
fore seems unwise for Vermont to begin to
pension her old soldiers Unfortunately
regardless of their merits or necessities,
either directly or through special exemp-
tons from burdens heaped upon all other
citizens. Let her take good care of those
who need help, and leave pensioning to the
general government, where it belongs. This
is the view which at least one old soldier
takes of this matter. SENSE.

Congressional.

TUEsDAY.-The president has vetoed the
bill granting pension to Mrs Sarah Wood
bridge, on the ground that her second hus-
band is still living and that such prece-
dent should not be established. In the
senate, nothing of consequence was DONE
the time being consumed by Senators Blair
aud Cockrel in a wordy warfare over the
Mary Ann Dougherty case. The house,
after short session. adjourned. Arrange
ments are making for an adjournment
within day or two which are likely to be
contaminated. Not half the time is there
quorum in either house.
WEDNEsDAY.-No real business was trans
acted in the house, the entire time being
taken up by explanations by Mr.. Cox of
New York and others of the alleged abuse
of the ranking privilege. Charges were
made by both parties that political matter
had been sent all over the country by means
of forged franks. The charges were gener-
ally denied. In the senate attempts were
made to appoint day for final adjourn
ment, but without effect, when Senators
Teller and Morgan spoke on the tariff bill
and the senate then adjourned.
THuRsDAY.-Both houses agreed to dis
agree" so they spent their time in mouth
ing" over the tariff bill. Finally, a good
stroke of business was done by the house in
agreeing to the senate resolution for an adj
journment on Saturday.
FRIDAy.-In the senate a resolution
authorizing the finance committee to con-
tinue its hearings on the tariff bill was
adopted. 1t then went into executive ses-
sion and adjourned at three o'clock. In
the house, for lack of quorum, no business
was transacted. Congress formally adj
journed on Saturday.

Attention, Members of Essex County.

| wish to call your attention to an abuse
of our game birds by the citizens of New
Hampshire. In that state the birds are not
to be removed to other states to be eaten
but hundreds are being killed in Vermont
every fair day, Sundays included, by citi-
Zens of New Hampshire, and carried there
to be consumed. Retdlidte. / will attend
to the enforcement of any proper game law
here without pay. Give us an open season
here Oh deer in Essex county and make it a
. crime to take venison out of the state for
food Teach New Hampshire a lesson.
There are at least six towns in this county
that have more deer than sheep,-but the
present law is not enforced, because it has
no friends. l saw in one wagon twelve
ruffed grouse killed to-day by a boarder at
one New Hampshire hotel know of crust
hunting parties from that state making an
nual raids into our deer yards from all the
towns within fifteen miles of this point. If
deer are ever protected here, it is not by any
effort to enforce the present law.

THE EsTEy ORGANs.-One of the best tes-
timonials to the value of the Estey Organs
is the fact that, notwithstanding the very
many organ enterprises that have been
started by ambitious employees of the
Esteys, the business of this original maker
continues TO grow. 1t is the largest reed
organ factory in the world; turns out a
completed organ every eight minutes each
day Because of their peculiar sweetness
and volume of tone, thoroughness in manu-
facture and popular styles, these organs
hold the wide world for a market with in
creasing vigor. Their series of advertise
ments in Anticipated language which have
been running so long in our columns have
delighted multitudes of readers and we
hope an equal number have been wise in
their choice of an organ.

led, between the years 1920 and 1880,
there were several families in the neigh
borhood Of Bsyreuth who spoke "Wend-
isch," and sermon il that tongue was
preached to them every alternate Sunday
in the parish church. There are
thirty seven villages in modern Ba-
varis in whose names the syllsbles
swim" and "wint" indicate that they had
their present names from Slav colonies.
Wurtemburg has sixteen such villsges.
Baden has few, and also the Swiss can
ton of Aargan. The Count Won Alien
urg-Hansourg, one Of the old Swiss an
cestors Of the Imperial House OF Austria,
drove great number Of the free land
owning peasants out Of the Upper Frelamt
in Asrgsr-where the ancestral castle OF
the Hspsburg still stand-snd filled their
farms and lands with Wend or Slsv
colonists, who became his serfs.
That the Wends and SIsvs were one
people in the opinion Of the old Germans
is clear from letter of our own English
fellow countryman, 81. Boniface, the
apostle of germany, in which he states it
is his belief thst "the Wendstor SlsVs are
the most striking people on the face Of the
earth" TIE German mobiles made serfs
of them; indeed, our common Teuton
word "slsve," as most persons know,
originated from "slay." There are four
villages of Slavs or Wends in Asrgan,
whose inhabitants were serfs Of the MONKS
Of the great Benedictine Abbey Of Murl.
