RYEGATE.
Death of the Oldest Resident.

Dedth OF the OIUeSI 1<eSIUeHI.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, died of la
grippe Saturday at the advanced age
of 90 years and months. Until
within a very short time she was
busy at work. She possessed a re-
markedly happy disposition, was
glad to have her friends visit her, and
always greeted them with a smile.
Mrs. Wright was twice married, the
first husband (Joel Nutter) died
while she was young, leaving her
with the care of five children. She
afterwards married William Wright
by whom she had three children. w.
w. Wright of "Fairview," who died
nearly year ago, was her son. A
daughter, Mrs. Somers, died several
years ago, and only one, Mrs. Sum-
ner kimball of Boston, survives her.
Two of her first children were pres
ent at her funeral, Joel Nutter of
Sherbrooke and Andrew of Newbury
l. anu MI > hllIllJctll anu llIll SUI,
Harry, and Arthur Wright from Bos-
ton were also present. Mrs. Wright
was a daughter of Dea. Brock, one
of the first settlers of Ryegate, and
at the time of her death was the old
est person in town
1t is reported that Mr.. Whitehouse
who works at "Fairview" has drawn
a prize of 5000 in the Louisiana lot
terry; poor, unfortunate fellow.

THE WARM WINTER.

Many stick to the Gulf stream the
orv to account for the mild weather.
Seaweed from the Gulf of Mexico has
recently been found at Nantucket,
and was regarded as an indication
that the balmy Gulf stream was veer-
ing toward New England and had
caused the two mild winters. Lieut..
7. E. Pillsbury of the United States
navy, however, says this is a very
fragile argument, because the winds
and the waves are more powerful
influence in the transportation OF OBJ
iects on the surface of the sea. But
Vermont is getting the mild winter
all the same-the mildest thus far
within the memory of man. The
mercury has reached only 16 below
zero the coolest morning of the Win
ter thus far-an unprecedented rec
ord-whiIe most of the days have
been like the early spring.

THE CURSE OF THE CREDIT SYS-
TEN

Credit is the weight which holds
four out of five of the business men
of every community struggling to
keep their heads above water. The
old theory is familiar. that business
cannot be done without credit; that
in the nature of things man must
trust, etc, but when the fine spun
theories are all worked out the bald
fact remains that the business man
who gives credit gets left, and his
customers who pay have to make up
for large per cent of dead beats who
do not pay.
The man who gives credit does in
Justice all around He not only
wrongs himself and those who pay
cash, but injustice is done even the
trusted party. One of the worst
habits a man can form is one of for
ever getting trusted. Better a thou
sand times have fewer things and pay
for them before using.
The meanest feature of this credit
business, however, is the enemies it
makes. After man has beaten an
other out of his just dues, he not on
ly goes elsewhere to trade but he is
ever after an enemy. This is a rule
with few exceptions. The Caledo-
L. L no
last twenty-five years, (by telling the
TRUTH but it has made more by
giving credit. and its meanest enemies
are those who have bills at this office
which, although often requested,
they neglect to settle. The next time
one hears anybody blowing the Gale
DOMAIN, just ask him how much he is
owing the concern.

"HOOKER AND PROHIBITIONS

The St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
seems to have gone back on its for
mer favorite gubernatorial candi-
date, and now shouts Hooker and
Prohibition, remarking incidentally
that "Col. Hooker is an honorable
man, and we are glad to see him on
the winning side" The "dishOnOr-
able rummies" on the other side are
glad, too, for they bear no i'll will for
their lifelong and unrelenting antag-
onist.-[ Rutland Herald.
The Rutland Herald's attempt to
belittle Col. Hooker because he is adj
voca ting prohibition rather than
high license for Vermont, will fall
f1atter than its somewhat ludicrous
attempts to prove that the citizens
of the Green Mountain state want
high license and all its attendant
evils The Herald is informed that
the Caledonian, whom persistently
accuses of unfairness, never had a
''favorite gubernatorial candidate. y
And again, if the Caledonian's en-
dorsement of the honest position OF
an honest man is understood to be a
shouting for Hooker and prohibi-
ton it will keep right on shouting
for any man who has the courage OF
his convictions and states them in a
perfectly sincere manner as we be-

MR.. STEWARDS SUCCESSOR.

The canvass in the First congress
iOnal district has been simplified the
past week by the announcement that
Congressman Stewart does not care
to longer hold the place His
decision is to be regretted on some
accounts Although not what is
sometimes called brilliant, Mr. Stew
art is an able man and has been an
exceedingly useful member of Con-
gress Added to ability is an ex
perience which counts for much in
such Il position, and the district will
hardly fill his place with so valuable
a man.
The withdrawal Of Gov. Stewart
will probably result in a walk-over
for Judge H. H. Powers of Morris
vile, who aspires to the place and
who has had pretty goOd-sized pol
itical bee buzzing in his bonnet for
some time The papers announce J.
X Batchelder of Arlington and Henry
Ballard of Burlington as possible
candidates. Batchelder can probably
be counted out from the start,
but if Ballard takes hold in earnest
he NAV make it warm for the Judge;
still the prospect is that Judge Pow
ers, who has taken time by the fore
lock, has things pretty well fixed.
Judge Powers has many qualifica-
tons for the place to which he
aspires Heis a man of fine personal
presence, an excellent debater and
presiding officer, man of ability
and even brilliancy In some of
these respects he has few equals in
the state; but he is man, who,
wherever he IS will work the office
for Powers to the best of his ability.
There are other considerations
besides those mentioned that will
help his candidacy. Many would be
glad to see him off the bench; some
because he is not popular there, and
others because his place is wanted.
Taken all in all, the prospect IS quite
good for Judge Powers to write IN.
c." after his name in the near
future.

SPEAKER REED AND HIS RULES.

Speaker Reed probably considers
that the passage of the rules of the
House on Wednesday, Feb. Il, by
strict party vote was a victory. The
spectacle of a republican Congress
waiting - days before passing its
rules of government is certainly
strange one. What howl republi-
cans would have made if a demo-
cratic Congress had done this. The
whole course of the House is now in
the speakers control and with a re-
publican majority any bill can be
passed on a party vote from a $25,-
100000 river and harbor bill to a
$50, 100000 pension bill. And
bills covering these amount are al
ready talked of by enthusiastic re-
publicans In the meantime Speaker
Reed continues to count quOrumS
with his eagle eye instead of tellers,
as the new rules have provided, thus
taking a course which Mr.. Blaine re-
fused to take i'll 1875 at the earnest
request of his party, i'll effect declar-
ing it to be revolutionary which the
democrats in 1880 refused to take
without securing a vote of the House
on the subject, and which has been
unwarranted by the precedents of
100 wears.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The many friends in this section of
Lt-Gov. Woodbury. and wife of Bur
lington will congratulate them on
their 3Oth wedding anniversary
which was quietly observed on Feb.
-
The Barton Monitor, in comment
ing on the withdrawal of Congress-
man Stewart says, 1.-The state will
lose a good representative. In men
tioning Judge Powers aspirations
for the place it remarks: "Whether
the change will be a benefit to the
state or not we are in doubt" There
is little room for doubt, however.
In discussing the opinion of the
Sioux reservation the New York Sun
says: THE Indian problem is APP
preaching a just and honorable solu
ton, and one that is tending not
only to civilize the redman and per-
petuate his race, but also to open
to our own people large districts
that are worthy better destiny than
to be merely the unproductive stamp
ing ground of few thousands of I'M
civilized savages."
Immediately following the remark
able American victory in Salt Lake
City, Mr.. Edmunds introduced in
the Senate a bill to establish a public
school system in Utah and for the
maintenance and supervision of pub
lie schools in that territory. The
New West Education Commission
has been doing a good work in Utah
and have no doubt paved the way
for more extensive school system
than their funds now allow.
George Remnants pen pictures of ST.
IBERIA were thought to have reached

compared with the late reports Of
official outrages committed there.
The killing of41 persons for revolving
against the inhuman cruelties prac-
ticed on innocent women makes the
civilized world shudder No wonder

doubled his body guard for fear of
death from unseen foes.
DIR. Talmage related to his parish
toner's Sunday a novel scheme for
raising the additional $4,000 neces-
sary to complete his $15O,OOO Taber-
naclein Brooklyn. He offered for his
own gift a years salary declaring
that the result would show whether
the people really wanted him to
preach in Brooklyn. If they did
they would build a church for
him to preach in; if they didn't, they
wouldn't. He has just become the
editor of the Christian Herald and
all subscriptions to the extent of
$50 900 will be turned over to the
Tabernacle fund. He requested the
congregation to remain after the
regular services and hand in their
subscriptions to the Christian Her
aid. About 2 per cent of the great
audience complied with the pastors
request and remained after the ser
vice, and few subscriptions to the
Christian Herald were received from
them. The whole scheme is such an
advertisement for Talmage that a
Massachusetts exchange has referred
to him as the Barnum among ecclesi-
astics.

What 1t Would Do in Illinois.
Nobody believes that prohibition
law in this state would absolutely
stop the sale of liquor in Chicago
any more than he believes that the
criminal code effectually prevents
crime. But it would destroy the
saloons as a political power, and
that alone would be worth the cost
of the experiment.-[C Chicago News.
VIII Get Sick of Their Bargain.
If Vermont tries a license system
at all like that now in vogue in this
state, we predict it will not be long
after its enactment before the people
will be sick of their bargain.
1t will not be at all in the nature
of a surprise if several of the large
towns in the state elect license mem
bers to the Legislature. But in Yer
mont each town, without regard
to population, has one member of
the House, and the rural communi-
ties, we predict, when the test comes,
will be found dead set" against any
thing which squints in the direction
of legalizing the liquor traffic. Mil

Kansas Initiating Vermont.
While Vermont is making an effort
to check the emigration of farmers
westward and attract newcomers,
an immigration bureau has been es-
tablished in Kansas to encourage the
movement from New England. This
means probably that the bottom of
the New England decline in agricul-
tural population, so far as affected
by the observation-disclosures of the
West, has been reached. When such
a state as Kansas feels obliged to
send circulars to New England por-
traying its advantages in order to
maintain the rate of growth of re-
cent years, there is evidently some
chance for Vermont and Western
acknowledgements Repub-

Ex-Governor and now Senator
CoIquitt of Atlanta, Georgia, one OF
the strongest and safest men in the
South, has proposed a method OF
settling the race question which IS
certainly novel, but who will dispute
it? He says shut up the rumshops
at every crossrOad and in every
town and hamlet in the South where
the whites and the blacks inter
mingle, and he pledges his word that
where you now hear of ten cases OF
bloodshed YOU will not hear of one.
If the Fifty-first Congress passes
the Blair educational bill or any one
of the proposed pension bills there
will be a deficit iii our government

attention of our republican friends,
who have so unhesitatingly endorsed
Speaker Reed in his questionable rul-
ings, is called to an article on our
second page from the able pen OF Col

that Mr. Reeds actions are not

 The Doctor is now out with a state ment in which he indignantly denies the assertions and says that Norman is not III at all. It Is . mere pfstepce, says ths doctor, probably arranged by Mrs. Vandegrift and her champions to secure consideration from the Su, preme Court.
 After the doctor had spoken so openly Mrs. Vandegrift went to Mount Holly, visited her son, and after e short con sultation brought him home. To-day he is walking about the streets appar- sntly as we'll as ever.
