In these days when rich American bellies

It Is refreshing 70 contemplate tAe recent

600 tiorins per annnm out Of the emperor's

This extraordinary man, or perhaps Il
would be more correct 70 say the man who
has taken this extraordinary course, Is q
son OF the late Grand Duke Leopold H., OF
Tuscany. member OF the Hapshurg
family. He is 81 years OF age, highly gifted
and enjoys robust health. He has held
high commands IN the Austrian army,
finally reaching the rank of lieutenant field
marshal. But he held independent views,
felt hampered by authority, and yearned
to be an independent citizen and earn his
own livelihood. The reports do no state
whether he is married or single. II the
latter, II would DC interesting to know
whether he considered that among other
things he was sacrificing his chance Of

or was q good second, with GA W.
II. Halle was nominated for Lieuten-
ant-Governor, and the other state Of
ficers were re-nominated. The plat
form, prepared by committee of
which Congressman Lodge was the
chairman, is a concise but complete
statement of republican principles.
1t gives due praise to the wisdom
which has characterized the admins
tration of President Harrison, and es-
pecially commends his practiced adj
herence to Civil Service principles.
1t demands the maintenance of the
American system of protection, calls
for a national election law, urges a
liberal policy toward the soldiers, fa-
vors the building up of our merchant
marine and the rapid enlargement of
our navy. With such candidates and
such a platform there can be no
doubt as to the result of this year s
campaign in Massachusetts.

Meeting Of the State w. c. It. u.

The fifteenth Annual Convention
of the w. G.. L. u. was held in the
First Baptist Church at Burlington,
Sept. 18, 10 and 20. Notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable weather, the la
dies were not dismayed, but gathered
in good numbers from all along the
line. Wednesday was occupied by
committee meetings and planning work
for the ensuing year, but in the even
ing the children of the Loyal Legion,
with their State Supt., Mrs. f. A.
Kenyon, filled an interesting and in
structive hour. Thursday morning
the convention was formally opened
by prayer meeting led by Mrs. j.
L. Chamberlin of Burlington. The
convention read the Crusade Psalm
in concert after which most cordial
welcome was given by Mrs. Cole
who performed that pleasant duty for
the State convention eleven wears
ago Mrs. Housh in her annual adj
dress gave us plans and suggestions
for future work while looking back

Gettysburg.

As the time draws near the interest
in the Gettysburg dedication exercises
increases, and every day new ones
are added to the list of those who
propose to participate in the excur
sion to that memorable field. The
fare from all stations in western Ver-
monl will be $15.55 and it will be an
all-rail excursion. The train for
Gettysburg will leave Jersey City de-
pot between and 9 o'clock on Tues
day morning, Oct. 8, going by the
way Of Philadelphia and Harrisburg,
arriving at Gettysburg at about 6
o'clock p. m. Efforts are being made
to perfect arrangements so that all
who desire can return by the way of
Washington, the tickets being good
until Oct 10. 1t is also expected
that the tickets will date from Oct. 4,
so that persons can go to New York
on that day and stop over until the
following Tuesday, the day when the
excursion train starts.
The 1000 printed invitations will
all be sent out this week by Adj Gen.
L. S. Peck of Burlington, and it is
necessary that all those who contem-
plate joining the party should send
their names to ex-Gov. Ormsbee of
Brandon, chairman of the board of
commissioners, Col. Fred Smith of
Montpelier, F. S. Stranahan of ST.
Albans, Collector Benedict or Gen.
I. S. Peck of Burlington, as it is
quite important that it be known ear
ly how many there will be in the party.
Arrangements have been made for
first-class hotel accommodations and
also for cheaper rates for those who
desire to put up at private boarding
places.
The present indications are that
President Harrison, secretary of war
Proctor and General Schofeld will be
present, as they have all signiied
their intention of so doing. The ex-
ercises have not as yet been fully ar
ranged, but SO far as the programme
is made out it is in substance as fol-
lows: On the morning of the de,lica-
ton the entire party will assemble
and form a procession consisting of

The present year furnishes a chap
ter of calamities in the history of the
world that is unprecedented. Every
scourge but that of famine seems to
have done its deadliest. The floods
at Johnstown and in Japan, the fires
at Seattle and Spokane Falls, the ex-
plosion in Antwerp, the cholera in
Mesopotamia, the storms at sea, and
now the landslide at Quebec, COM
prise horrible list. Thousands of
the lives lost have been sacrificed to
carelessness or negligence. The So.
Fork Dam was declared unsafe be-
fore the Conemaugh flood, the cart
ridges at Antwerp were declared dam
gerous before the explosion, and the
cliff at Quebec was declared unstable
nearly ten years ago. In 1880 the
chief city engineer of Quebec recon-
mended that s27,O0O be expended to
make the cliff safe to the inhabitants
below. The recommendation was
disregarded and now 100000 in
property has been DESTROYED and
nearly two-sc"re persons have been
crushed to death. If building con-
tractor, after being told that his
structure is unsafe, persists in disre-
garding the warning, he goes to
state-prison when his building col
lapses; but city or town may ig-
more the recommendation of its en-
gineers and go unpunished when the
threatened calamity occurs. What
is the use of having engineers and in
spectors if their advice is not to be
followed! Shall we ever come to es-
TEEN forethought. or must we always

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wnshin0t0n. Sent. 2.5

Washington, Sept. %.
The wanderers are nearly all home
and the great houses of the northwest
are again CHEEKY with hustle and life.
Along the avenues the equipages of
the fashionable roll, and in the parks
the nurse girls are once more on hand
with their pretty infantry, children
brown with the tan of sea and noun
tains. There is, however, one nota-
BILE wanderer who does not come
back, and he is President Harrison.
That he makes mistake in junketing
around the country and carrying the
capital in his coat-tail pocket, his en-
emies insist. The talk of his chum-
ming at Deer Park with Steve Elkins,
Davis and Camden and of Window s
influence will not soon die out. Pres
ident Harrison might have selected a
better snmmering point than Deer
Park. the summer home of the most
notorious political brigade in the
country, triumvirate that repre-
sents wall street in its most vicious
aspect.
This intimacy has been of the clos
est character; even the children are

Republican Victory.

The latest news from France con-
firms the views generally entertained
yesterday as to the result of the cleo
tions. Spite of the fact that re-bal-
loting will be necessary in at least
one hundred and seventy-seven di-
visions, there is abundant evidence
already that the republican victory is
complete. OF the III divisions in
which re-balloting will be necessary,
1876, it is expected, will return repub-
licans. According to certain careful
calculations, the new chamber will
consist of from POI to 210 opposition
ists-Monarchists, Imperialists and
oulangists-while the republicans
will have a numerical strength of
from $50 to 500. There seems to be
no doubt that the republicans will be
able, when the Chamber meets, to
count on a majority of over $50.
It is we'll that Paris is no longer
France, as it was the custom, in times
gone by to say it was. The victory
is due to the rural districts and to the
outlying provinces. Paris, taking in
the entire Seine district, if some of
the calculations are to be relied upon,
polled 100000 voters for the Bou
langists, while the republican vote in
the same district did not exceed 1885,,
600. 1t is suggestive, however, of
loss of influence on the part of the
former, that the republican vote was
larger by $4,000 than it was last JAN
uary. It is curious also to notice
that in certain of the old Catholic de-
partments, such as Finisterre, Morbi
han, Cotes du Nord, Loire-Inferieure,
Vendee and the two Clarentes, the re-
publicans have gained as many as fif-
teen seats. Among the freaks of
the elections is the defeat of leading
men in every one of the political par
ties. Among the defeated republic
ans are such men as Goblet, Jules,
Ferry, Millard, Joubert and Milude.
Count Dillon has been elected, but
Rochefort's fate is doubtful, and sew
eral of the more prominent Boulang-
lists have to await the result of the
second ballot. 1t is believed that the
republicans will be able to make such
arrangements among themselves as
shall make room for Ferry.
The result has, so far, to all ap-
pearances, given satisfaction both in
side and outside of France. The
Bourse felt the new impulse and
while a steadiness was given to prices,
rentes went up. The Paris papers
of the more Independent class, while
that radical and sudden
changes have been prevented, speak
of increased responsibility. The
London Times says the Boulangist-
Moharchist conspiracy is killed. The
German papers speak of an undoubt-
ed victory for the republicans and
the Nationa Zeitung attributes the
victory in large measure to the sue
cess of the Exposition, the wise poll
e fho <>fF
and EGpress.

be lamenting and criticising on the
hither side of calamity? The cries of
despair that were heard last week
from beneath the debris at Quebec
for hours after the rock had fallen,
must have pierced the hearts of those
who refused to avert impending dan
ger. The cries for help were as pit
eous, and in some cases as unavail-
ing, as those of the victims of the
Conemaugh flood who were swept
away to death before the eyes of
their friends. The only solace of
such disasters is in the fact that hu-
man mercy is always kindled to the
noblest herOism.
