Death of Chief.Justice Waite.

Chief Justice Morrison Il. Waite of the
United States supreme court died at a quarter
past six o'clock last week Friday morning,
after brief illness from complication of
heart and lung troubles. On the previous
Saturday night the chief-justce attended
the authors reception given by Senator
and Mrs. Hearst, but feeling slightly indis.
posed he left the house early. About half
an hour after he arrived home he was taken
with a chill and Immediately retired. lie
was confined to his bed Sunday, but on
Monday he insisted upon going to the SUI
preme court to he present when the decis-
ion in the telephone suits was rendered.
The weather was mild and the doctor
yielded to his urgent request, every pre-
caution being taken to prevent ill effects
from the journey. The telephone decision
had been written by the chief Justice, but
he was too ill to read it from the bench and
that duty was performed by Justice Batch
ford. Special care was taken that no evil
dence of the chief-justice's illness should
appear, and none of the throng that heard
the decision read suspected the real reason
why it was announced by Justice Blatch-
ford AS soon as possible after the reading
Justice Waite left the bench and was hur-
riedly driven home. 1t is admitted that
the trip to the capitol was far from prudent
Tor one in Justice Wate's condition, but
it is asserted that no consequence can be
ascrbed to it. The chief-iustice was deter
mined to go, and the doctor had to yield.
He went back to he'd and became very i'll.
Miss Waite was the only member of the
family at home, her mother being on the
Pacific coast and her brother and sister in
Cincinnati. The chief Justices son was
telegraphed for, and he and his wife reached
Washington Thursday. The condition of
the chief-justice on Tuesday was not alarm
ing, but Wednesday circumscribed pneu-
monia showed itself. On Thursday he was
quite comfortable. The nurse who re-
manned during the night observed no
change, not even in the expression of his
face, until six o'clock Friday morning when
he turned over on his back and in ten min
utes was dead The chief justice leaves a
widow, two sons-Edward T. Waite of
Toledo, a lawyer, and c. G. Waite of Gin
cinnati president of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton railroad-and one daughter,
Miss Mary Waite. The funeral will be held
in the hall of the house to-day. Mrs. Waite
will join the family at Toledo, where the
interment will take place. On the assem-
bling of the supreme court, Friday noon,
Justice Miller with much feeling announced
the death of the chief-iustce and adjourned
the court. In both houses of congress APP
propriate resolutions were adopted and an
adjournment voted until Monday. An Off
cial notice of the death of the chief justice
was issued by Secretary Bayard, and the
president sent a letter of sympathy to Mrs.
Waite,

The Republican Canvass.

The Philadelphia Times of March 10 pub
lished the result of an elaborate canvass
made among the republicans of Minnesota,
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
The canvass was not conducted in the in
terest of anybody The questions upon
which information was sought We're the
preferences for the presidential nominees,
the condition of the party as compared with
the same time in 1884, whether the labor or
the prohibition vote would be likely to
change the usual result and, in Minnesota,
whether or not the people favored a high
protective tariff Each man consulted was
asked to drop his own prejudices and to re-
port the feeling among republicans in his
own voting precinct exactly as he found it,
Beginning in the Northwest, it is found
that Lincoln leads in Minnesota for first
place, with Gresham close second. Many
refuse to accept Blaine's declination as final,
while others declare his withdrawal has
increased the chances in their districts at
least twenty-five per cent. Moderate tariff
reform is demanded, but the assertion that
the republicans of Minnesota are for tariff
for revenue only is repudiated. Prohibition
is making some inroads, but is not greatly
feared.
Indiana is undeniably for Harrison
Gresham hardly being in sight. Labor and
temperance will not figure prominently as
issues, but pensions for old soldiers and a
fair count of all votes cast either North or
South are loudly called for.
Ohio is solid outwardly at least for Sena-
tor Sherman, with an inclination noticeable
everywhere to desert him on the least
provocaton and go over either to Blaine or
Foraker Sherman will have the solid dele
CATION in the Chicago convention.
In Pennsylvania there is no settled con-
sensus of preferences. All the republicans
in the state were for Blaine, and since his
withdrawal sentiment has not fixed upon
any one. Cameron could have some dele
gates The next most popular men are
Lincoln, Hawley, Sherman and Depew.
The state is safely republican for anybody.
By far the most carefully canvassed state
was New York. There is undeniably a
strong sentiment in favor of the nomination
of Blaine by reclamation. With him out of
the way Depew leads, with Blaine close
second declination or no declination. His
cock and Sherman are the next favorites,
but they are a long way behind
From every section come reports that the
party is in far better fighting shape than at
this time four years ago, dissensions and
personal ambitions having been wholly
dropped and the one idea being that of win
ming. 1t will be a campaign between the
two old parties, and third or fourth parties
will not affect results. The tariff is to be
the main issue.

The Leagues Address.

The executive committee of the Vermont
republican league have issued the following
address:
A national republican league was organ
lied in New York last December at a con
vention called for that purpose. In accord
ance with the scheme then devised state
league was organized in Vermont February
10, 1855 with a membership of seventy
seven clubs.
The purpose of the organization is to af-
ford some effective medium in every town
nv which the national. state and county
committees can more directly and surely
reach the individual voter. The object Of
the league is to advance the principIes and
promote the success of fine repnhlican marty,
to nstill into the minds of voters those sound
political principles of which we believe that
marty to he the true exponent and upon the
maintenance of which we feel that the nros-
peritv of the American people and the pros
perity of distinctively American institutions
mist rest
The cherisbinp of patriotic memories Of
former achievements is healthful. but an in
tellipent comprehension of the great oues-
tons which now confront the American
neonle is essential TO a proper solution of

THE DEEMsTER. BY Hall Game New
York: ID. Appleton & Co. For sale by ID.
F. Long, Montpelier. This is a story which
deals with isolated and primitive life on the
Isle of Mana story of passions love and
hate, the lust of gold and the tenderness
of father for a son who has gone astray.
The author so lives in his work that his work
itself lives. He fights the awful fight upon
the cliff-top of the two men who have loved
each other from their youth. A strong soul
is most wretched by its own passions, but
burned clean in the fires of an awful suf-
fering and winning home at last, to find on
the threshold of home death waiting, with
face which is as the face of friend.
ANIMAL MAGNETISM By Alfred Binet
and Charles Fere. New York ID. Appleton
& Co. For sale by ID. f. Long, Montpelier.
The authors say: "This work only aims at
giving an account of special researches,
which, Notwithstanding their number and
on the subject" Before adopting Des-
cartes' rule, that we should go from the
simple to the compound" the authors say
Z" We have passed through an age of sense
less errors and sterile discussions" After
a most instructive history of animal magnet
ism in the early chapters, the authors take
up hypnosis in clinical fashion; show the
modes of producing it, its symptoms, states
and forms; then describe suggestion of
movements and acts, anRsthesia and motor
paralysis as a result of suggestion; and close
with two remarkable chapters on the appli
cation of hypnotism to therapeutics, educa.
ton and responsibility.

within its territory and a list made of the
republicans and doubtful voters. SO far as
possible it should be ascertained on what
point the doubt exists. BY this means it is
made possible to send proper documents to
the right place and in this way secure the
largest vote for the republican ticket.
The ideal republican club is an organiza-
ton that maintains its activity throughout
the year. Its primary object should be to
enroll among its members all good republic
cans within its territorial limits, and by
public discussions and private reading to
inform its members as to the fundamental
principles of the party and their relation to
the prosperity of the country. The club
should hold a meeting at least once month,
at which paper on some political subject
should be read by some member or invited
guest, or some living question discussed 1t
should, If possible, provide a comfortable
clubhouse or club-room, open every even
ing, where the members may meet in po-
litical and social intercourse. 1t should Sc
cure the enrolment and the registry of
every republican voter, and when election
day comes it should see that every republic
can voter discharges his duty at the polls.
The members of the executive committee
of the league have charge of its affairs in
their respective counties, and it is their
duty to further the organization of clubs
therein.
All clubs should put themselves in COM
munication with the members for their re-
spective counties.
The formation of young mems republican
clubs in all the larger towns is especially
urged. 1t is particularly desirable to enlist
the sympathy and secure the support of the
young men of Vermont for the republican
club movement. The league appreciates
the fact that young men are power in
politics and recognizes that the restoration
of the republican party to power in the ma
ton, in the coming presidential election,
depends largely upon the voters born since
the war for the Union.
The democratic party has nothing in past
achievement, and promises nothing for flu
ture performance, to attract young men to
its ranks. BY order of the league.
