SURPRISED.

One of those happy events which tend
to make life pleasanter for all concerned
occurred at the residence of MIR. and Mrs.
George w. Pinney, on Seymour street,
Wednesday evening, when large num-
Der of unlimited friends gathered to eel
ebrate with them the sixteenth anniver-
sary of their marriage. To say that Mr..
and Mrs. Pinney were surprised as the
party came trooping in, is putting il
mildly; and, later, when they were es-
corted into their dining room and with a
few appropriate remarks Rev. Mr.. Keith
presented them with beautiful and CON-
plete decorated dinner set, toilet set, par
lor lamp, etc., the happy couple seemed
completely nonplussed. After the pres
entation refreshments were served by
the ladies, and the evening was spent in
pleasant social intercourse. Before the
party withdrew Mr.. Pinney took occa-
sion to accuse Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Barton
of "being at the bottom of all this" and
he was right, although host of their
Mddlebury friends had contributed to
make their sixteenth anniversary one
long to be remembered. ONE OF EN-.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has the
right material in him, though one who
reads Democratic journals exclusively
might never find it out. a negro was
appointed postmaster at Luverne, Ala,
and the people boycotted and abused
him, whereupon Mr.. Wanamaker abol-
ished the office.
The Brattleboro Phoenix is quite sure
of its position on the question of promot-
ing the lieutenant governor this time
around. 1t says: " Lamoille and Addi-
son county people need have no fear
that Windham county people will favor
a return to the promotion rule next year,
but beyond this they are not ready to
commit themselves or express their pref
erences."
The pension commissionership is still
vacant. Secretary Mobiles ideas on the
subject of pensions are very clear, as will
appear from the following statement ::
"My own pension policy may be very
briefly summed up. | was soldier.
made my way up from the ranks. l be-
long to the Grand Army. | want to see
every old soldier get pension who de-
serves one under the law; and l want
him to get the amount allowed him by
law; and want him to get it in the ex-
act order of time prescribed by the law.
And, if am to stay where l am, every
thing must be done according to the law,
which is so plain that there is no neces-
sity for installing it,"
The richest thing which has appeared
in the papers of late is this dispatch from
Raleigh, N. c.: Gov. Fowle to-day, in
response to letter from Secretary
Proctor of the war department, wrote
that official a letter expressing his views
concerning the proposal to remove Ger.
tain Indians at Mount Vernon barracks
to the western part of this State. The
governor expressed vigorous disapprov.
al of the plan, saying that that part of the
State is being rapidly settled by whites
and suggesting that the Indians referred
to be cOlonized in certain parts of Yer
mont which have been abandoned by the
whites" Here is chance for Commits
siOner Valentine. If he can't get Swedes
perhaps Indians might be induced t(
come to Vermont.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1889.
THAT COLONIZATION SCHEME.

A few of the State newspapers, among
them the Middlebury REGISTER and Bur-
lington Clipper, oppose the plan OF bring
ing over colonies of Swedes, on the
ground that it would subject our farmers
to " still greater competition in selling
their produce " which they certainly can
not stand" These papers argue that the
great need of the State is a larger home
market. more manufactures and mining
industries to consume the products of the
farms, and that the lack of these is what
ails our agriculture now. While we want
the factories and mines, and while there
is no good reason why we shouldn't have
them with our great resources and our
splendid water powers on our mountain
sides, it is the most arrant nonsense to
talk that we must wait for them before
attempting to do anything with the farms.
Il Brattleboro Reformer.
The Reformer goes on to say that what
the farmers ought to do is to organize for
the sake of disposing of their products
to advantage; that the discrimination
of our railroads against Vermont and the
old vicious systems of taxation have had
good deal to do in keeping down pro-
ductive energies and that the farmers
of the State are combining with view
to marketing their products more cheap
ly and Systematically; whence it infers
that better day is dawning for the Yer
mont farmer.
Our esteemed contemporary is pub
lshed in one of the liveliest of New
England manufacturing towns, where
the market for certain kinds of farm
produce is always good; but it will
not do, when discussing matter of
this character, to take so circumscrbed a
view of the situation. Up here, where
manufactures are few, the outlook is not
so flattering as it is with our Windhan
county friends.
We have contended, and are still of the
taken as whole, is not more farmers,
but more manufacturers. The Spring
field Republican, speaking of colonial
tion scheme now occupying the attention
of New Hampshire people, says:
In southern New Hampshire, where the
shoe business has been followed, OF
where summer boarders along the sea
shore have been taken, there is less com
plant that farms are deserted. Tht
Newton selectman says: 81 don't know
of any abandoned farm in this town, anC
none for sale" But in central ant
northern New Hampshire it is other
wise. Fourteen towns report 81 l25 acre
of what was once inhabited farms.

MCUEOD'S TRlsULATiONS.

The following dispatch from Chicago
appeared in the papers of Tuesday:
A Canadian pastors double life was
ing. At the armory the reverend gentle
men, Frederick T. Mcleod by name,
walked the floor of a cell, detained on
the charges of adultery and bigamy. In
another cell was his alleged wife, her
eyes red with tears and her babe in her
arms. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcleod were ar
rested at their home on warrants sworn
out by Mrs. Mary Mcleod OF Central
Economy, Nova Scotia. The complain
ant, pretty blonde, said that Rev. Mr..
Mcleod married her two years ago while
pastor of the Congregational church at
Central Economy. "IIe was driven out
of town not long after that" she said, "on
account of a family matter and came to
Chicago. He has been here now for two
years, but did not hear of his second
marriage until this month. | came at
once from Nova Scotia and had warrants
for his arrest sworn out. | have one
child, boy, Is months old" Mr. Nc
Leod refused to make statement.
1t is supposed that this Mcleod is the
same person who graduated from the
college in the class of 1885. He was put
down in the catalogue as from Liverpool,
N. S. Before entering college he had
been in the Bangor (Me.) Theological
seminary. and while a student here he
preached to the Congregationalists at
Ferrisburgh Center.

not only swindle his patients out of their
money, but would probably prevent them
from employing a doctor who did know
something for fear that his own ignorance
might be exposed. Unnecessary loss of
life must inevitably result from the
presence in community of possessors of
bogus medical degrees, and reputable
doctors should see to it that unworthy
members of their profession are known
for what they are. Our State Bar asso-
citation is careful to guard admissions to
the legal profession, and but few years
since very properly refused to admit to
the bar a man of bad character. The
even more important profession of med
icine should be equally jealous of its
privileges and sensible of its duties to
the public; and if the law is not adequate,
procure whatever additional legislation
is needed.

CHEAP DOCTORS.

The Boston Herald of Saturday con-
tanned an exposure of two bogus medi-
cal diploma concerns which have been
selling their degrees all over the country
at the nominal price of $50 each. One
of these institutions operated in New
Hampshire, while the headquarters of
the other was waiting-Ioom for horse
car passengers in Boston. The latter
called itself the "Trinitv University of
Vermont; its sheepskins are dated from
Bennington. 1t has flooded the country
with circulars telling of the requirements
for entrance to the institution and grad
uaton therefrom, cOuched in the terms
commonly used in such documents. In
order to obtain diploma, according to
the circular, the candidate 'must be q
years of age, of good moral character
He must have been engaged in the study
of medicine over period of four years
during that time he must have attended
three courses of lectures of six months
EACH, etc. Yet Buffalo man, who is
engaged in business in brass and iron
foundry and had never studied medicine
at all, procured degree in the regular
form. The scoundrels who run the ''uni-
versity" found that they were in danger
of arrest and decamped from Boston.
This is not the first performance of the
sort that has come to light. Less than
ten years ago the Philadelphia Record
showed up the operations of DR.. Buchan-
an of that city, who had carried on busi-
ness like that now exposed, and published
list of the graduates
The fact seems to be that the laws re-
gulating the practice of medicine are al
together too loose, the magnitude of the
interests at stake considered. The SER
vices of the foolish or knavish physician

sense or the principle to deter him from
buying degree of this kind-would be
infinitely worse than useless. He would

SOME CoNUNDRuMs FOR THE BOARD

The report of the railroad commission
ers upon the Brooksvile accident will be
found in another column. Like all re-
ports of this board, it finds no fault with
the road, and perhaps this is but right in
this instance. But we would like to in
quire if some railroad official did not
urge Engineer Chilson to 60 out with
that fated train after he had asked to be
relieved because of lack of rest the day
and night preceding the accident? Is it
not true that Engineer ChilsOn was as
signed an engine other than the one he
had been accustomed to drive and which
was not in the best of order? Is it not
true that although the notice of the run
ming of the special train was issued to all
engineers and conductors on the line,
there was no notice of the running of
such special posted in the engine assigned
to Chilson on that trip-his own notice
being posted in his own engine? Is it
not true that the notice was issued a
week or more before the accident hap
pened when Chilson was running on an
other division of the road and that nc
other and further notice was given to
him?- Vermont Sentry.

We occupy the whole OF our present ware

instruments at IA much better advantage than
was possible ever before, besides enabling us
to carry a very much larger stock OF Pianos
and Organs than was ever attempted by any
concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing in
favor and II is safe to say that already more
of them are being used in Rutland than OF any
other one make, which is a signifinant fact,
considering that IT is but little more than one
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos, which
we control, need no comments from us. This
piano stands first among musicians every
where, and everybody knows il. We also
control the Behr Brother s. Piano which is well
and tavorably known in this locality. In this
piano is combined all of the best qualities OF
other makes, besides possessing several i'm
portant features OF its own, which makes it
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We cary full line OF these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have number of cheap

are in a position where we can defy competi-
