Ill tomorrow, when the state conven-
ton would take it up.

the resolution still "premature.

The discovery of a new conspiracy

The discovery of new conspiracy
aoains the life of the Gar is an ad-
ditionaI piece of evidence that the po-
litical situation in Russia has become
impossible. There was time when
the Russian government was in ad-
vance of the Russian people; but it
is now plain that the people have out
grown their government. That is to
saw. the educated classes have done
SO. and it was inevitable that they
should do so. The existence of a
Government like that of Russia is, in
fact, incompatible with the existence
of an educated class. That some
sort of constitutional and representa-
five government must be adopted is
perfectly clear, while it is equally
clear that neither the Gar and his
advisers, on the one hand, nor the
Nihilists on the other are capable of
devising such government. A con-
tinual peril of assassination ought,
however. to quicken the wits of the
Gar and to instigate him to offer his
unpleasant subjects some share of po-
iiiical ligl,ts. Times.

denomination of Gen. Grout.

The many friends of Gen. Grout
in all parts of the district and state,
to say nothing of a large circle of
friends in Congress and in Wash
ington, will rejoice that his nomina-
ton at Montpelier last Wednesday
was made by acclamation, amid the
cheers of large convention. Some
personal friends of Col. Hooker had
worked earnestly IN his behalf, but
the result was such as to make con-
test in the convention needless. Col.
Hooker took himself out of the way,
and the handsome manner in which
his friends complimented Gen. Grout,
seemed to put the whole convention
in most friendly manner toward
Col. Hooker. Gen. Grout has SER
we'd his district we'll, and while he
has not been able, in the line of ap-
pointments to crafty the wishes OF
some of his friends, we believe he has
been actuated by desire to do the
bestl,ossible under the circumstances.
His work in Congress has been able
and efficient. His standing is such
among his colleagues as to give cred
it to his state. We believe he will
continue to do the most in his power
for the welfare Of his constituency.
his state and his country.

The Result.

For several weeks-much longer
than it should have been-the politi-
cal pot has boiled quite furiously.
A large convention has met and has
fairly decided the contest in regard
to nominees. While there has been,
as there always will be in hotly con-
tested canvasses, some things done
and said that were not wise and just,
the result is such all things consid-
cred, that the state will be well
served in the candidate selected.
Mr.. Page showed his popularity
and strength as candidate before
the people in the very large vote he
received and the general character
of his supporters. He entered the
contest we'll knowing that he was to
meet strong and persistent opposi-
ton from forces that were usually
the controlling forces in the state.
His rival, Col. Woodbury., is man
with many elements of popularity,
and much of his following was such
as any man might covet. In his de-
feat he loses no respect, and those
who voted against him did it In the
belief that the interests of the state
would be best served in other hands.
While many were sorely disap-
pointed in the defeat of Col. Hooker
for the second place, they know that
in Mr.. Fletcher they have candl-
date that is in every sense worthy
of the state. We know Mr.. Fletch-
er we'll personally. He is the son
of Ex-Governor Ryland Fletcher, a
sturdy farmer, man OF excellent
habits. one whose record in the legls-
lature has been noted as man OF
economy and good sense. The state
is honored in having him placed Sec
ond on the ticket. In the proposed
change of state treasurer we think
mistake is made, not that Mr.. Field
is not an honest and capable gentle
man but most faithful and efficient
thoroughly tried officer is removed
1t is changing certainties for uncer
tainties. The office of secretary o1

ought to have a trial at it if he de

times. We deem it fortunate tha
state auditor Powell was not takel
off the ticket. His administration
has been very profitable one for tn
state. He has done his work clos
along the line of law, and those VIII
have sought to run through his hand
any bills against the state, not sane
toned by law, have found it an I'm
possible thing. The skirmish so ia
has been lively one and many her

Then going south of this line of
crossing, and getting as nearly in the
middle as possible, directly between
the crests of the mountain the lead
touched bottom at 24O feet. Between
Roaring Brook, and the upper slide
for logs on the west side the greatest
depth was found-270 feet. Off the
plank bridge it was 261 feet; off
Duck Rock it began perceptibly to
shallow, the depth being 225 feet
in the middle, still between Rufus
Crows house and the mill, on the
west side it was 222 feet; off the
Willoughby House, 2O4 feet; oppo-
site the bobbin mill it was still shall
lowing, being there 1875 feet, and the

ceiving the nomination for treasurer.

offices it proved an easy matter to de-
feat Mr.. Porter, secretary of state, by
c.. G.. Brownell of Burlington. Ihe
next attack was made on Col. Pow
ell. auditor. Frank D. Hale of Lu-
nenburgh and Norman Paul of Wood-
stock were candidates against MI
Powell. 1t looked for time as tho
Mr.. Powell was to share the fate OF
his brother officers, but very time
Iv speech by G.. A. Prouty of New
port saved him. The convention
adopted a set of resolutions endors-
ing the protective tariff showing faith
in the prohibition law, nrging ~aon-
gress to pass an anti-original pack
age law, and a pledge to support the
republican nominees. Mr.. Page was
presented to the convention and made
neat and acceptable speech in
which he struck the keynote of his
campaign, in the line of proposed re-
trenchment in state expenses. He
urged his friends to see to it that
none but the best men be chosen to
the legislature. The convention dis
persed with as good feeling as might
be expected where almost every man
had suffered defeats, while he had
participated in victories. Governor
Barstow had gracefully moved to
make the nomination of Mr.. Page
unanimous, and the general feeling
seemed to be that a harmonious ano
enthusiastic canvass should be made
in behalf of the party.

The proposal to build monument
at Chattanooga to General Lee and
General Grant seems to have seized
upon the southern imagination. Sew
eral thousand dollars have already
been subscribed, and there is every
indication that the project will take
form. This monument would COM
memorate a striking historical event.
On the day after the surrender at APP
pomattox, General Grant rode with
in the confederate lines and was re-
ceived by General Lee. For an hour
or two they sat together on horseback
in earnest conversation, a group of
their gallant generals looking on.
General Grant, it is believed, was
urging General Lee to throw his great
influence in favor of a cessation of
war, the establishment and perpetu-
alton of peace which would strength
en- the the Union. They separated,
Lee going to his home in Richmond,
Grant to Washington. There is no
reason why this memorable incident
should not be commemOrated IN
bronze. The war furnishes no more
suggestive event, and the lesson tc
drawn from it would forever appeal
to patriotic hearts in the North and
South.-NeaU York Herald.

Finding the Depth of WiIloughby
Lake.

On June 10 and IL, 1890, Rev. M.
V. b. Knox, assisted by Rufus Grow
and wife, made a thorough sounding
of the bottom of Willougby Lake.
They used lead plummet weighing
a pound and quarter, and fine fish
line, procured for the purpose. The
line was wound on a reel half a yard
long, so just yard was wound off at
each revolution. Mrs. Crows sole
duty was to unwind and count the
Yards. The weight of the plummet
and fineness of the line enabled an
exact observation of the moment the
lead touched the bottom. They were
favored each day by there being no
wind to annoy them.
They first sounded across the lake
between the mountains, beginning on
the east side, near the large rock, land
going to the foot of the slide on the
west side. In this crossing they made
eighteen casts, each about ten rods
from the one preceding, and begin
ming and ending at that distance from
the shores. This is the result reduc-

starvation and Death In Dakota.


For months past the country has
been given meager reports of famine

that one half has never been told.
Here is q statement of well inform
ed man who has made tour of in

However hard the land sharks and
other interested parties may try to
keep the true state of things from the
the people of this country, they can
not long be successful. The success.
sive failure of four years crops have
reduced those even formerly well-to-
do to condition of the sorest dis
tress. Many thousands of families
are entirely without means of any kind
They lack the wherewithal to pur-
chase the necessities of life. In Miner
county, they have no -four, the staple
of life being badly ground corn meal,
and there is noticeable insufficiency
of that. Every farm is mortgaged, in
many cases for more than sale I'M
der the present prices would realize,
Most of the stock has been levied on
and sold by the sheriff at public auc-
ton, the ridiculously low prices OBJ

the starving condition Of the cattle,
but of the scarcity of the means in
the communiry-cows fetching as low
as SIS apiece, horses So and $40, while
sheep and pigs are simply unstable,
there being nothing to feed them with.
The women and children bear the
evidences of hardships they they have
undergone in their punched and
meagre faces. In many instances they
