Beauties of the Cotton Flower,

We made the suggestion recently that
papers In search of flower for the ma
tloual emblem would find all the re-
quirements in the bloom of the cotton
plant. 1t has merits that may well he
enlarged upon. The flower takes on all
the hues that constitute the national
colors; it is pretty, and though not fra
grant, is lnodornns. But it possesses in
Its utility what it may lack in fragrance.
Its product clothes the Civilized world
and gives employment to millions of its
most useful and industrious people, not
only in its culture, but also in its man
ufacture. a.
Its pure white is emblematie of peace.
but 1t may when necessary be converted
into one of the most powerful warlike
projectiles and explosives vet known to
sclence-both emhlematic of the pence
full policy Of the United States and it's
military power when reused to war.
Without it the commerce as we'll as the
industry of the world wonld greatly
suffer. 1t is the chief money brin ging
commodity of export of this country
always in steady demand abroad, and
good as gold in the making of interna-
tional exchanges. Without it the agri-
culture OF the South would langnish.
and many thousands Of spindes and
looms at the North would cease their
merry hum.
Is there any other flower of the coun-
Try whose product is SO essential to the
thrift OF millions Of people, and which
!s every way so we'll fitted for Uncle
Sam to wear in his button hole ?--Ey.

Senator Morrill,.

Senator Justin S. Morrill, of Ver-
mont was born in STAFFORD, April
IA, 1910, and has thus entered upon
his eightieth year. In 1855 he sue
ceeded Andrew Tracy as representa-
tive in Congress of the second dis
trict, and he has been continuously
in Congress till now, period of
thirty-four years. He has thus ex-
ceeded by four years the famous
thirty years term of Thomas Hart
Benton. No other member of the
national Legislature equals him in
length of service, and his career has
been as distinguished for it's useful
ness as for its duration. After six
elections to the House of Representa-
tives Mr.. Morrill, was elected to the
United States Senate and took his
seat in that body, March 4, 1867.
He was re elected in 1872 and 1873
and 1884, and has served four years
of his fourth term in the Senate. The
important measures originated by
him or that have been largely shaped
by his hand would make long list.
At the head of the leading commit
tee of finance, he occupies one of the
most important and responsible posi-
tions in the United States Senate,
and fills it not only with great wis
dom, but with degree of vigor and
industry truly remarkable in one of
his years. Mr.. MorrilPs private vir-
tues and estimable qualities as a man
are as marked as his public services.
His friends at Washington, in Ver-
mont, and in every State, are a host
of all parties and conditions in
life-and no man in this country
stands higher in the respect and es-
TEEN of all who know him. 1t is a
pleasure to contemplate life of such
fidelity to duty, such high usefulness
and such untarnished fame, and all
Vermonters are proud to claim that
fame as a possession and part of
the record of our Green Mountain
State. Our readers everywhere will
join us in wishing him health, hap
piness and added years of honored
and valued service to his State, his
country and his fellow-men.-Ffee

Sundays, and some relief from the
evils of liquor domination it has
snatched the fruits of the Local OPP
tion law from the people of five coun-
ties and the opportunity to apply it
from several other counties; it has
thrust partisanship into the admins
tration of the public school system !;
it has legislated republicans out of
and democrats into office; and it has
changed the lines of assembly districts
with the sole purpose of insuring the
success of the democratic party I'D fu-
ture elections. A more fiagrantly
unjust system of Legislative district
ing was never devised. In Camden,
for example, the lines of three dis
tricts are so changed, we are told,
that one district will contain consid-
erably more voters than both the 9th
ers combined. The purpose is to put
the strong republican Esads into onse
district, so that the democrats may
capture the other two. If legislatures
could be punished for deliberate dis
regard of the principles of equity in
law-making the Legislature at Trenton
would hardly escape. But the only
bar at which it can be arraigned is
that of the sovereign people, and we
trust that when the sovereigns of New
Jersey pronounce judgment at the
ballot box next November every dem
ocratic member of the present assem-
bly, will be enjoined not to sit in an
other session. on.-Independent.

Utah.

President Harrison will find nc
better field for the exercise of care
and sound discretion than IN Utah,
and in the matter of all appointments
which affect the Edmunds Law. In
the selection of governor, commiss-
toner's, judges and marshal, partisan
politics should have no place what
ever. Until within a decade Utah
Territory has been cursed, and the
law has been covered with dishonor
by the shortcomings and misdoings of
men utterly unfit for the places they
filed. President Arthur was exceed
ingly fortunate in his choices. Pres
ident Cleveland made some good Sc
lections, but he did great harm by the
injudicious pardon of polygamous
offenders, the last and worst example,
under date of March I'd, being that
of G. w. Penrose, editor of the
Church paper, and one of the most
mischievous of the elders. His two
serious mistakes are found in the
nomination for a place upon the
Commission, of General McClernand
whose whole career has been a source
of continual aid and comfort to the
Mormon Church and last summer of
Judge Sandford as Chief-Justice in
place of Judge Zane. Almost from
the first this functionary began to
wave the olive branch toward the
camp of the theocracy, and to display
decided penchdnt for Pbsurdly light
sentences where the maximum was
but six months and $500; while for
whoever could plead "frst offense,"
though many-wived and for a third of
a century, he was full of mercy. This
good news was not long in making
its way to the underground, whittier
hundreds of eminent saints had long
fed and within a week George q.
Cannon presented himself in court,
plead guilty, received sentence of
fUe months, and now, with heart
wholly unchanged, walks abroad free
from fear, and as before urging the
people to ''live their religion" 1t
would, therefore, be very well, and in
accord with the judgment of we'll
nigh every hater of polygamy in
Utah, to replace Judge Sandford
with Judge Zane. He is a man in
earnest to make evil-doing unproft-
able, and withal a lawyer so able
that with one exception all his rulings
have been ratified by the Supreme
Court. Let him who so magnificent
ly began the judicial fight under the
Edmunds Law, carry it also through
to complete victory. Meantime, il is
no small consolation to know that
within five years upward of one
thousand convictions have been Sc
cured in Utah alone.

BARTON. VERMONT MONDAY. %,

| heard some one driving animals not
far away, and creeping close up to
the side of the cornfield, saw big
nigger driving up some cows. l went
for him, shook hands with him, and
asked him if he knew me. He didn't
ssrecomember" that he ever saw me.

quaintance with me. | finally told
him Twas a Yankee who had escaped
from prison, and that ! was starving
and must have water and food. He
grabbed my hand, shook it heartily,
appeared overjoyed to see me, etc.
| asked him If he could help me, tell
ing him | had companion in the
loft yonder, and wanted him to come
and see us, and to help US. He prom
ised to do so when he had yarded his
COWS. | went to Adams, and soon
the negro came, all excitement, and
afterf talking with him awhile, he
promised to bring us some food, and
to help us on our way after dark. He
said it would not take two hours to
reach the shore opposite one of Uncle
Sans gunboats. We asked him to
bring us some water, and he returned
shortly with two bottles of good wa
ter. This was a great blessing to us.
He looked at Adams, and seeing his
weary and distressed look, said he
would go and get some hominy and
milk. We waited a long time for
our hominy, and when we heard our
darkey friend returning, we discover
ed to our dismay, that he had an Of
ficer and seven men with him. He
had betrayed us and we were prison.
ers again. Such was war.
We were taken back to the self
same camp we had passed through
few nights before. We related to
the officer of the camp our experience
there, and he was surprised to learn
that his camp had been successfully
crossed over, without any knowledge
on the part of his guards that the
Yankee runaways had been there.
They treated us fairly well, gave us
such rations as they had with a guam
tity of tobacco. The next day we
were taken to Charleston and put in
jail for a few days, and from there
to the marine hospital. There were
two hospitals here in which were 800
Federal officers who were used as tar
gets for the Federals to shoot at in
their attempt to batter down the city.
We found that while the shells from
our guns were dropping into the city
we were comparatively safe. Thus
ended my first attempt to escape from
the hands of the rebels of the South.

wall, waiting, waiting. The variety
of dress is as great as the variety of
faces and expression.
A little, thin, sensitive, bloodless
old man, with an ancient silk hat and
a white tie, sits next a burly, red-fac-
ed, alert, New York politician who
firmly trusts in his ability to "do the
thing up right Across from the
couple Texas republican is seated,
black moustache and goatee, and
broad brimmed SLOUGH hat, of course,
listening with horror to a comrade
who is telling him that the depart
ment of justice has actually had the
audacity to refuse to appoint a GER
tain one of the Texas brethren sim
ply because he has killed half doz-
en- men when it has been plainly
shown to the satisfaction Of Texas
juries that he always acted in self
defense. Not a few figures in the
crowd, denominated by irreverent
messengers in the departments, as
'the statuary," are those of preach
ers, who generally seek to 60 abroad.
The majority of the daily quota
assembled have become quite used to
waiting and make little useless APP
pointments to meet each other, the
exact purpose of which they forget
by the time they meet again.
With the air of naughty and un-
approachable prince, whose only ar
tistic defect is his mahogany color,
$50 per month messenger stalks out
into the corridor at irregular inter-
walls, accepts half a dozen of the
cards that are eagerly thrust at him
and disappears into the secretary's
room. But while many are called
few are chosen, and very often the
office seeker waits for the opening of
business hours in the morning until
their close in the evening and goes
away without seeing his man, while
hundreds more fortunate though lat
er arrivals 60 through the magic por-
tails.
The first right to audience belongs
to senators and representatives., and
the office seeker who has his con-
gressman with him, is looked upon as
a lucky fellow by his mates and can
go in without undignifed delay. That
is often all it amounts to, but for the
moment the lowly office seeker is con-
fident that he is drawing nearer the
goal, and lives in hope if he dies in
despair.

powers from the consent of the gov

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. Aprl 18th.

Washington, ApTH 18th.
Though spring has won late VIC
tory over winter, cowslips and trail
ing arbutus are out upon the city's
waste places and the buds upon the
trees are bursting into leaves. Some
flowers greet the passer-by with sug-
gestive fragrance of green fields and
high, blue skies, and the day dreams
that Sin part are prophecies and in
part are longings wild and vain" If
the practical individual has carefully
erased from his memory the records
of youth, these splendid days make
him thirsty with visions of the near
time when mint shall be fragrant in
the glass and claret and ice be a SOL
ace. On down town streets, colored
urchins who are frightfully dirty de-
spite the increase in real estate val
ues, now offer arbutns at five cents a
bunch in the morning and two for five
cents in the evening, furnishing a
striking illustration of the truth that
everything comes to him who waits.
The grounds of the executive man
sion are nearly as green as in mid
summer, and a white-capped nurse
girl bringing little Ben. Mckee, Pres
ident Harrison's grandchild, for a
romp, adds to the familiarly rural
scene. A host of children have play
ed on the White House lawns every
season years and regard the place as
children's free ground. A number
of the children have been members
of the executive household. Little
Tad Lincoln used to roll hoops down
the hill when the band played on sum-
mer afternoons, and strut about in
his miniature uniform of lieutenant,
playing at war, with many shrill,
piping order to his imaginary troops.
Then came Andrew johnson, Jr., a
boy of twelve with propensity for
stuffing himself on every imaginable
edible and lolling about under the
trees. Then Jesse Grant, to riot
with other children, after he had rid
den home from school on his Shet
land pony. Then the demure Fannie
and Scott Hayes, good children who
always kept their clothes clean and
their noses duly wiped. Then the
Garfield children, with baseball and
bicycles, ruling from March to mid
summer in high glee, when their brief
reign closed with the awful tragedy
of their fathers death. Here stroIled
Allan Arthur, tall and undeveloped,
and his sister Nellie, who possessed
her fathers mind and her mothers
face, the heritage denied her brother,
Thus the ghosts of the White
House number not few childish
faces, and to one with good memo
" score of these familiar spirits
come up even at nOontime on the
fairest day of all the spring.
The only false note in the overture
of spring is afforded by the presence
of the office seeker. From the con-
temptation of nature, President Har-
rison turns to grapple with political
delegations and to wrestle with Of
flee seekers. The sunlight that strays
into the corridors of the departments,
falls aslant of office seekers by the
dozen, seated on the sofas, occupying
the chairs, leaning against columns,
lolling in windows, ranged along the
