NOTE AND COMMENT.

The indications are that Congress will
be in session into September.
The reelection of that picturesque
statesman, Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, is
assured. One Democratic county cor
vention has endorsed him, even.
A letter from Secretary Blaine to Sen
ator Frye has been made public. Mr..
Blaine refers to the practical exclusion
of American breadstuffs from the Cuban
market, and argues against the removal
of the sugar tariff until such time as we
can receive from the West Indies some
thing in return for this benefit to them.
Death saved the credit of the State of
Louisiana. Both houses passed the lot
terry bill, but the governor vetoed it.
Then the House again passed it over the
veto, and the Senate attempted to do so,
but was prevented by the illness and
death of Senator whose vote was re-
quired to make the necessary two-thirds
majority.

MURDERED HER Two CHILDREN.

Mrs. James Williams, who lived at
the little village of Blissyille, two miles
east of Fair Hayen, murdered her two
children, a girl of Il years old and a
boy of six, set fire to the house and cut
her own throat The tragedy was enact
ed about 3 o'clock Friday morning.
One other child boy of 10 years, who
was sleeping upstairs, escaped with his
life. He was awakened by the smell of
smoke and going downstairs found his
mother standing in the doorway scream
ing for help. There was a great wound
in her throat, and blood streaming down
her dress front. He attempted to get
her out, but she was determined to go
back, and only by violent efforts was he
able TO finally get her safely outside.
Mrs. Williams was undoubtedly insane
at the time the acts were committed.
She has since partially recovered and
made full confession. Her husband
was killed in slate quarry few weeks
ago.

AN EvENTFUL CAREER.

The death of Gen. John C.. Fremont on
Sunday brings anew to mind the facts of
the wonderful development of this coun-
try. 1t was so late as 1888 that Fremont,
then an assistant engineer in the United
States Typographical corps, began the
great work of his life-the exploration
of the unknown regions of the West. He
first went to the Cherokee country, and
the next year penetrated the region lying
between the Missouri and the northern
frontier; out it was not till 1912 that he
entered upon the work which most bene-
fitted the nation. He in that year eXplor-
ed the South pass of the Rockies and the
Wind river mountains, tile highest of
started for the farther West, looked over
the Great Salt lake and penetrated to
the head waters of the Columbia. On
attempting to return, in the dead of
winter, the guides failed him and
after terrible sufferngs he reached
Suffers fort at what is now Sacramento. 4.
In March he set out for the East, arriv-
ing in Kansas by the way of the South
pass in July, 1914. 1t was his report of
this Journey, the most memorable of
Fremont's life, which gave the Mormons
the clue to the rich country in which
they not long after established them
selves. Fremont next took prominent
part in the conquest of California. He
was elected as one of the first United
States Senators from that State 0Sl9-
SD, was the first Republican candidate
for President in 1856, served in the
Union army as major-general (lS6l-lSG2)
and was nominated by the Cleveland
convention for President in 1864, but de-
clined the nomination. and diu not after
ward take an active part in politics,
though he was appointed governor of
Arizona in 1873. OF late years he had
been engaged in promoting Southern
railroad enterprises. His wife, who was
the daughter of the famous Thomas
Benton of Missouri, survives her hus-
band.

such changes as occurred during his life.
When he entered upon his explorations
Missouri was the frontier and all west of
that was as little known as is the interior
of Greenland today. Pixies peak is now
ascended by a railroad like that of
Mt. Washington. The buffalo, which
then were abundant in eastern
Kansas, are practically extinct in the
territory of the United States. All
through the vast domain which his ex-
plorations opened up, not fifty years ago,
are thriving cities, and higher civliza-
ton than the world had then seen pre-
walls.

The best argument against the bill is that
of experience during the reconstruction
period. The Springfield Republican gives
the history Of the great crisis of that
time as follows:
On this same ground, of preventing in
timidation and fraud, the Republican
governments of some Southern states had
given large discretionary power to the
returning boards. The boards in Louis
lana, South Carolina and Florida so dealt
with the returns as to give those States
to Hayes instead of Tilden. They iusti-
fed themselves by saying that their ac-
ton was only fair offset to intimidation
which kept the negroes from voting.
The dispute brought the peace and safe
ty of the nation into great hazard. The
Senate and House took sides against each
other. The question was at last amica-
bly, settled by arbitration, but that arbi-
tration was 50 partisan in spirit that it
will never be trusted again. 1t was per-
haps the narrowest escape from revolu-
tionary disorder in the nations history.
Nor do the Republicans of the South,
who should know what is wise and what
unwise, want such law. One of them
says, and he states the whole case well:
think the law could hardly help our
people to "A fairer vote. Republicans in
telligent enough to make good supervis-
ors are in some districts very few.
could count the intelligent Republicans
| know in my county OIL the fingers of
one hand. And those men don't want to
give too much oflense to the dominant
class among whom they have got to live.
The revival of race antagonism by this
bill might be injurious. The hope of our
people lies in the slow Improvement of
local sentiment. and it is our own indus
try and education, not politics, which
must bring that about.

A QUESTIONABLE CONCERN.

Unless the New York Sun and other
leading city journals are greatly mis-
taken, the Northwestern Land and Coal
company, which has been extensively
advertised in this State for six months
past, is swindling concern. Reporters
found on investigation that the 10 per
cent guaranteed" dividends were paid
out of the proceeds of the sale of stock,
though they were supposed to come
from profits on the manufacture of COM
pressed coal. But it is alleged that
these "briquetts' were manufactured
on an imaginary plant from mines which
do not exist upon land which the COM
pany does not own, and disposed of un-
der mythic contracts with the North
ern Pacific Railroad Co. and other large
corporations, including the State of
North Dakota. Frank H. Bascom of
Montpelier is one of the directors of the
company.

That was curious spectacle at Shelf
field, Eng, the other night, when the
mayor presided over a meeting Of 12.000
of his townsmen who had been called to-
gether to protest against the Mckinley
tariff bill as seriously affecting Sheffield 5
manufacturing interests. A resolution
was passed calling upon the government
to take protective measures against the
Mckinley bill, which, it was stated,
threatened to become the means of de-
stroying Sheffield's trade with America.
The Bennington Banner takes the de-
feat of its candidate for congressman
philosophically, saying. 1.-The result is
not surprising. His opponent was one
of the best known men in the State. For
l6 years he has Teen in and out before
this people, holding the important Of
flee of Judge of the supreme court, and
filling the place with marked ability.
Mr.. Batchelder, on the other hand, though
having filed the office of speaker of the
House of Representatives with credit,
was not so well known, and could not
successfully compete with his more for
nidable rival. He yields with good
grace to the will of the people, proud of
having had the support of his own and
the neighboring county of Rutland,
among whose citizens he is almost as
well known as at home. His friends will
give their full vote to Judge Powers, who
will worthily succeed our present able
and popular representative, John w.
Stewart"

A HALT CALLED.

The measure OF proper expenditure for
pensions has been reached, If indeed it
has not been passed already. There is
no active demand, on the part of the vet
Grams of the Union, for sums exceeding
those already appropriated; and those vet
erans are sensible enough to know that
appropriations exceeding half the entire
revenue of the government, to benefit
small fraction of the people, might
quickly cause the collapse of the whole
system for lack of popular approval and
support. While any part of those who
saved the nation from destruction were
subject to want, or their widows, child
rem or helpless parents, there was an
honorable feeling that they should be re-
membered by powerful and prosperous
people, even though In the attempt to do
so avenues should unavoidable be opened
for extensive frauds. But the people
will certainly stop somewhere, and then,
if appropriations for this object seem to
them excessive or frauds too numerous,
there may be fiat refusal to continue
the appropriations already made. He is
not the true friend of the soldier, IN the
deliberate Judgment of the Tribune. who
now asks for further appropriations in
his behalf. The youngest of those who
served in the Union army must today be
about AZ years of age. Only one-eighth
of those living at any time exceed that
age, so that of the 100000 male adults
who were living when the war closed not
more than 100000 are living now; and
over third of these are Southerners. A
voting population of 2,000,0 600 will not
long consent to pay more than half the
entire revenues of the government to a
20th of their number. Further appropri-
ations for pensions cannot be asked with
out imperiling the continuance of all
grants for that object New York Trib-
! une.
