The Utah commission reports that
the Mormon church shows no ten
dency to abandon polygamy. On
the contrary the church grows daily
more united in opposition to the gov
eminent Every Christian citizen
will join with the commission in its
recommendation that no backward
or wavering step be taken by the
government i'll the matter of suppress
sing this plague spot on the nation.
Another able and useful congress
man, Butterworth of Ohio, finds
that his duty to his family requires
him to refuse a denomination and
like Long of Massachusetts, to retire
from political life and engage in more
remunerative work. Such men
ought to be retained in the nations
service but it can hardly be expected
that they will when the salary is so
small and the requirements Of life in
Washington are so expensive.
The idea has originated in St.
Johnsbury that Col. Woodbury. of
Burlington, now lieutenant-gov-
ernor, would make an excellent de-
partment commander for the Grand
Army of Vermont. AS the encamp-
ment meets in Burlington in January
and the office belongs to the west
side of the state, Col. Wodbury's
chances to succeed Commander NJ AN
sur, who singularly enough is also
one armed veteran, are very good.
The voluntary confessions of GER
tain New York Central strikers show
that the theory was correct which
attributed to such hands the recent
train wrecking on that road. The
outrages were not the work of the
strikers as a body but indirectly the
bodies which bring on such strikes
are responsible for those results
which 1egitimately follow the evil
principles taught by selfappointed
and demagogical labor leaders.
These men can arouse but not
restrain the passions of their fellows.
Edward Everett Hale knows
whereof he speaks when he talks of
either newspapers or ministers. This
observation of his in an article in
the September Forum is therefore
especially interesting:
We newspaper men may write English
very i'll, but we write it easily and
quickly. So that to us who have been in
this business it is something amazing to
hear a clergyman say that he occupied
week in composing a sermon which was
at the outside $500 words in length.
One can understand absolute inability to
do it at all, but no newspaper man
understands how a man who can do it
can spend thirty-six hours in doing it.

passage of a resolution recognizing
the necessity and usefulness of the

The proposed amendment to the con-

BLAINE AND REED.

Mr.. Blaine, a Washington cores
pondent informs us, is in robust
health and 'as bright and ambi-
tious as he ever was" Evidences
have not been wanting that Mr..
Blaine was still to be reckoned with
as a powerful personality in Amer
lean politics The same correspon-
dent observes that MI Blaine has
had no quarrel with Mr. Harrison,
nor with Mr.. Reed or with any other
man in his party who has influence
in making presidents, but is not in
accord with all such men,
This is probably correct though it
will not be acceptable to the demo-
cratic papers that are kindly read
ing the riot act to Blaine and Reed
from Maine are in for Kilkenny cat
tight which is to end in their destruc-
ton and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
republican party. Possibly the wish
is father to the thought in the minds
OF our democratic friends. That per-
feet harmony does not exist between
the two prominent republicans is a
MISUNDERSTOOD fact, but that either
of these astute chieftains is foolish
enough to engage in a desperate
struggle with the other, in face of
probable consequences, is something
sensible observers will want very
good evidence of, and for which they
will not accept the say-so of hostile
press.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t is a notable fact that the United
States has succeeded to Great Brit
aims rank as the leading iron and
steel producing nation of the world.
This is a testimonial to the wisdom
of the protective policy.
The final dividend has been paid in
the st. Adams Trust company, MAX
ing the total dividends received a
trifie over SO per cent. Receiver
Stevens is to be commended for the
way he has handled the funds and
the depositors have Jared very well.
Governor-elect Page has made
choice of Henry M. Mcfarland of
Hyde Park for his secretary of civil
and military affairs. Mr.. McFar-
land is a native of Waterville and a
graduate of the University of Yer
mont. He is a lawyer but has for
some years been closely identified
with many of Mr.. Pages business
enterprises.
DR.. George F. Root, the composer
of Rally Round the Flag, Boys"
and hundred other famous songs,
celebrated the SEVENTEEN anniversary
of his birth in Chicago, Sept. 6. He
wrote the famous song on the morn
ing following Lincoln's second call
for troops. Old readers of the Gale
DOMAIN will remember with pleasure
our entertaining letters from New
York signed "Radix" which is the
Latin word for root. The letters
were written by a son of Mr. Root.

A SON OF THE HILLS.

In another column is an eloquent
paragraph by the Listener" of the
Boston Transcript, celebrating Yer
mont's strength and virtues as only
a sympathetic spirit can. In truth
the eloquent voice that thus cele-
brates the Green Mountain state
through the Listeners column is that
of Vermonter, bright, genial, man
ly and tender, Newbury boy whose
reputation as a journalist is very
high and whose loyalty to his native
state is never failing.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

Hosea Mann, jr., of Wilmington,
whose candidacy for the speakership
was first announced by the CaledOn-
ian on the Thursday following the
state election, proves to be strong
and popular candidate. He will not
have a walkover, however. for an
opponent worthy of his steel has
arisen in the northern part of the
state in the person of Hon. Henry
r. Start of Bakersfield, one of the
ablest, cleanest and most popular
lawyers of the state. These two
candidates, will undoubtedly lead
the race and either would make a
good speaker. The democrats will
unite on T. w. MOlonev of Rutland,
their rising man and late candidate
for congress in the first district.

THE MA MASSACHUSETTS, PLATFORMS

The distinguished leaders who
drafted the republican and demo
cratic party platforms in Massachu-
sets evidently tried to Guido each
other in verbosity. We haven t
waded through both of the docu-
ments yet and cannot therefore say
which is ahead in quality but we be-
Iieve the democrats have few lines
the lead i'll regard to quantity. The
paucity of comment from Massachu
sets papers indicates that even in
the Bay State the editors deem life
too short to waste much OF it on
such political monstrosities. Why
won't politicians learn common sense
in platform building and have plat
forms that speak direct to the people
and that bristle with compact cam
paign texts, instead of engaging
space-writers to prepare political
sermons and essays?

OUR YOUNG READERS.
THESE KNIGHTS OF OURS.

In days of old brave knights there were,
In burnished steel armed cap -a-pie,
And sworn to draw their trusty swords
Against all wrong and tyranny;
About the land they fearless rode,
Ready for po or and weak to fight,
With flashing shields and waving flags,
Their battle cry, God for the RightF
Such knights as those are known no more,
But we have thousands, growing tall
And strong, to form gallant band
Before which many foes must fall;
Clad in no armor save their youth,
Vowed to uphold all noble powers,
Their standards blessed by Hope and Truth
These knights of ours these knights OF ours !!
Against what'er is false and cruel,
Against what'er is low and mean,
Against all evil they will fight
With steadfast hearts and weapons keen.
And il they ever turn to flee,
Thinking that they have lost the dav
Some ringing voice will rally them
With Comrades face the other wayI"
sTis joy to know they bide with US,
And that they pri ze, far, far above
All other things upon the earth,
mothers and a sisters love;
And we will praise and honor them,
And crown them with the sweetest flowers,
Each time a victOy they win
These knights of ours these knights Of ours |

GROWTH OF BABIES.
COmmOn-Sense Home Talk to Mothers
and Fathers.

and Fathers.
The maternal physique has some sub
tie, indefnable influence over young
children, health giving power not at
present we'll understood. The new baby
is still in a sense a part of its mother,
though a separate unit. Its well-belng
requires close contact with her during
the greater part of the twenty-four
hours. A bed by itself is an injustice to
helpless infants. 1t is paterfamilias
who should seek another resting place,
not the new life that is yet so frail and
insecure. Only those who have tried this
natural method can thoroughly appre-
ciate its advantages and realize how
admirably it insures The happiness
OF three persons. The child can be
cared for during the night without, ex-
posure or any sudden chill. Al
ways warmed and protected by loving
presence, the little one sleeps long and
well. After the weaning period Une
baby has its own bed as matter of
course. Until then an undisputed half
of the maternal couch is necessity to
the embryonic citizen, if he is to grow
into that relative perfection of health
and strength which nature has intended
for him. The human mother is the only
animal that puts away its young at
night, probably because the right kind
of reason has not taken the place Of
half eradicated instinct. The hen gath
ers her brood under her wing; the
mother bear forms herself into sort of
animate woody nest about her cubs, just
as the cats body embraces her kittens.
Our cousins of the lower orders may not
be such bad examples to follow after all.
At any rate why not give those ''won-
derful weanS" the benefit of the doubt?
The slaughter of the innocents goes
on in different ways. Emotional prodi-
gality is a most efficient means of re-
moving the joys of the household.
"Died of too much grandfather, grand
mother, uncle and aunt would be
fitting epitaph for many bright child.
Emotion is the most exhausting of the
mental attributes. What children do,
and how much, is of far less Importance
than the way in which they do it. The
evils of premature mental activity are
without doubt very great; but to prema-
turely and unduly excite emotional
manifestations is tenfold more hurtful.
In this regard there seems to be the
densest ignorance, the fact that young
children's only business in life is to de-
velop slowly-to eat, sleep, and play in
childlike fashion-is too often forgotten
in the home circle. On the contrary,
they are often supposed to attend to
their own work of growing and devel-
oping, and afford fun for the family at
the same time. Our tender little ones
