Some fears have been awakened by
the recent failure of one or two West

intimated that our New England Saw
ings Banks might be involved. On the
other hand we are assured that they
are reasonably safe. In any case it be-
gins to hook as though it would be quite
as well for Vermonters to keep their

yield as large an income but the own

These failures are saddening for those
who suffer, but the world is full of men
who promise beyond their depth.

ticipations. We have not the full pro-
ceedings of the meeting before us but
we have seen enoheh to make it clear
to our minds that this question viii not
be settled by suppressing discussion or
by the Board standing firmly on its old
foundation. On Thursday there were
two long sessions and the time was fill-
ed with debate in which personalities
and insinuations bore prominent part.
At the election of officers for the COM
ing year there was good deal of COM
motion. The policy of the Board was
discussed, speeches pro and con being
made. The debate was brought to an
end by the presiding officer, DIR. Storrs
who reduced to writing and put mo-
tion which the progressiyes had tried
to carry all day, to the effect that there
be an investigation of the management
of the affairs of the Board as related TO
charges brought against the Secretary
and some of the prudential committee.
The old officers were reelected and a
resolution was adopted appointing a
committee of nine TO inquire into the
methods of administration pursued at
the missionary rooms and TO recon-
mend any changes that shall seem to
them needful and important. This COM
mittee was not appointed at the time Of
the passage of the resolution. Upon
its character will depend the worth of
the investigation. There were numer-
GUS earnest pleas for harmony in view
Of the attitude and expectations of the
churches. 1t is not easy to say how
large proportion of the churches that
do their mission work through the Am
Board are in sympathy with its meth
ods or how many are opposed TO it. IT.
is to be hoped that the committee just
appointed viii do thorough work and
when il reports some action be taken
that win stand. The Home Secretary
may assume too much directly or indi-
rectly but we cannot help thinking that
he stands in about the right position,
and that his policy, if changed at all, |
should be changed at the substantially /
request Of the churches that
sustain the Board. Our eyes may be
holden that we cannot see, but it Ger
ainly is not clear to us that there is
'eally much use in doing mission work
mong the heather if after all they are
n no special danger. If the progress
yes wish to carry on mission work on
heir basis let them organize society ,,
# their own and teach their peculiar
Doctrines after their own manzer.

Frank Pettigrew, one of the newly
elected Senators from South Dakota is
a Vermonter. He used to be so poor
that he was compelled to walk long dis
tances to save his fare. His is the old
familiar story, struggle through pow
erty TO greatness. Not many of those
lawyers who run ont a shingle in some
ambitious western town are honest en-
ough to remain poor and obscure all
their lives. We intend to cast no re-
fections upon Mr.. Pettigrew. We had
in mind other cases.

The acquittal of Mr.. lnman who was
recently tried for murder at the Rut-
land county court, was quite surprise
to some people. There was no doubt
about the killing, but the plea of self
defence was thought to be lamely sus-
tanned. Inman shot Sennot, neigh
Dor, whose cattle paid no respect to di-
vision lines. There was much annoy
ance ON account of this and hitter feel
ings had grown out of it. But if every
man whose neighbor's cattle annoy him
is to be allowed to shoot that neighbor
there viii soon be thinning out of the
rural population. We need laws in re-
gard to the trespassing of cattle and
fences so clearly defined that there shall
be no chance forrendless quibbling when
a man seeks redress for injuries infict-
ID In this direction. The verdict in
question seems a little queer in view of
what we have read of the case.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

The A. b. G. +. NJ. has been hold
ing its annual meeting in New York
city. Things have not been harmon
ious in that body for a number of years
but it was hoped that certain questions
had been laid at rest at previous annu-
al meetings, and il we remember cor
rectly they were not raised at the last
meeting. But ii is evident that the old
issues are not dead, they have only
been slumbering. AT the recent meet
lmg they sprang into activity and stirred
up some OF the old bitterness. The re-
cent history Of the Board is part Of
the universal tale. Here as elsewhere
there are two elements, the progressive
and conservative as they are commonly
designated. In theology there are some
who remain steadfast in their adherence
to the old standards, and there are 9TH |
ers who think that the ancients did not
possess all the wisdom Of all the ages,
that new light is continually coming. /
In the American Board DR.. Alden, the |
Home Secretary, represents the conser-
vative element. Some of the members
of the Prudential Committee are in a.
greement with him, others are not. In
Boston and vicinity, whence comes con-
siderable of the support of the Board,
the pastors of most of the Congregation
al churches are very restive under the
policy of the Secretary. 1t seems that
Dr. Alden manages the Board, so far
as the appointment of missionaries is
pretty much after his own
heart. It is charged that all applicants
for service in the foreign field are sub
Iected to a doctrinal test, and that if
hey cannot answer certain questions to
.he satisfaction of the Home Secretary,
hey are set aside. These questions
nave reference to a future probation.
It is charged that some young men of
excellent qualifications and training,
to be tainted with the future
'robation heresy, are summarily reject
d, and that the result is to impede the
mission work of the Board, and to al
enate many of its friends and thereby
INIT Its resources. These are weightv
matters so far as the Board is concern
d whatever may be the interest of the
eneral public. This matter pressed to |
Ie front at the recent meeting. 1t is
afe to say that it caused some unpleas- {
ntness, strengthened determination \
} bring about some change at the room Z
the mission in Boston, even if it be 1
ecessary to remove Secretary Alden. I I,
he Independent stands firmly by the !,
Dliey of the Board. 1t declares that
e Board has planted itself upon a firm

The Kabo corset that
never breaks its @fbones
he reason is, its bones are
lot bones at all, but Kabo-
,r kinks, rolls up, or shifts;
he unstretchable Kabo cor
ct is eyeleted with loops of
orset lace instead of sharp
edged metal.
Soft eyelets we call them.
But they are tough /; they
never wear out in the life of
a corset. They do not make
the lacing show through a
thin dress, as metal does.
If soft evelets hal been in
use first, there never would
have been any metal. Some
mechanic must have hit on
the metal. A woman would
have made the loop by in
stinct.
The Kabo is tough but
smooth it has the form of a
Venus ; it has a certain soft
ness, for Kabo bends with a
touch; but the Kabo is touch;
its made for women who
want it tough.
