THAT STATE TAX.

The people of the State have been told
all summer that they would have an
economical administration under N.Y.
Page, and we sincerely trust that such
will be the fact But some of the men
and papers tend to become silly when
they discourse on economy, and especial
ly when they speak of the State lax. One
might easily imagine from what is sad
of this tax, that if it were not so tremen-
dously big each farmer in the State
would have an old stocking full of gold
eagles under every stump on his prem
ises.
The tax, though, amounts to but 20
per cent for two years, or ten per cent a
year. The average farmer pays taxes on
probably not over $1,000 worth of pro-
perty, making his grand list $40 and his
State tax 81. The State tax of the man
who pays on poll only is 20 cents a
year.
Economy is a good thing both in theory
and practice, but those who discuss ways
and means to that end should find some
other windmill than the State tax to
fight

CONDUCTOR FOY KILLED.

r. f. Foy, freight conductor, was
run over by freight car at the Belden's
Falls siding, two miles north of here, be-
tween and 3 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, and instantly killed.
A fiat car was being backed on the sid
ing at the south end. The brake end of
the car was toward the north. Foy was
on the fat car and had hold of the brake
to stop the car so soon as it should
reach the proper point on the siding.
All at once he was seen to let 60 his hold
on the brake and fall in front of the car.
The brake beam pushed him along foot
or so and then the wheels of the car pass
ed oyer him. As he fell his body was in-
side the rails and his neck across one
rail. The wheels passed over his neck,
almost severing it. The head hung only
by few muscles at the back. The re-
mains were brought to Brewster & Co. s
undertaking rooms, and, with the assis-
tance of Drs. Russell and Sheldon, prepar-
ed for burial. They went by the 8 $50
train Wednesday morning to his home in
Burlington, whence the funeral was at
tended at o'clock yesterday afternoon.

CANADA AND THE Mckinney BILL

1t is announced that one John Hallam,
one of the most extensive hide dealers in
the dominion, desires the formation of a
reciprocity league. the objects of which
shall be ito create healthy public SEN
timent, so that economic questions affect
ing trade and commerce between the
United States and Canada can be dis
cussed free from party bias; to educate
the people on all matters relating to tar
ifs, free trade or reciprocity by employ
ing good speakers capable of presenting
the views of the league in popular form;
to send out literature in the shape of
pamphlets and tly-sheets, and to engage
writers cOnversant with economic ques-
tions to write editorials for those news
papers favorable to free-trade prnci-
pies" This is but one of the many signs
of interest in the subject of reciprocity
our Canadian neighbOrs are showing now
that the Mckinley bill bids fair to be-
come IA law. And it is not strange that
they should desie freedom of trade with
the United States, when their situation
is considered. The dominion has been
well described as "a disjointrd tier of
provinces lying along the northern edge
of continent inhabited by population
Identical with the bulk OF her own and
with which her own is b, ing rapidly
fused by reciprocal migration. The
same writer (Prof. Goodwin Smith of
Toronto) points out, further, that the
dominion is made up OF four distinct
blocks-"the maritime provinces, sepa-
rated fran old Canada, French and Eng
lish, by wide and irreclaimable wilder
ness; old Canada, separated by another
wilderness and fresh-water sea from
Manitoba and the Northwest; the North
west, again, by triple chain of noun
tains from British Columbia, while each
is physically united to the portion of the
United States Immediately to the south
of it. If lines of trade could be de-
lineated, it would appear that there is
hardly any commerce, of natural kind at
of them is commercially identified with
the country to the south of it on the 9TH
er side of the line" In other words, the
Canadians find almost the only market
for their live stock, grain, hay and many
things besides over the border in the
United States. The Mckinley bill places
a duty of $40 head on all cattle over a
year old, so that the farmer in the prov
ince of Ontario cannot very well send his
surplus beeves to the Bnffalo market as

CANT BE DONE.

Efforts are making by the publishers
of Conant's History and Civil Govern
of Vermont to bring about its use in the
schools of this county. They have even
gone so far, it is said, as to ask the men,
bers of the county board of education to
vote for their book by postal card.
The book adopted by the board a year
ago was the Vermont edition of Mowry's
Civil Government, work preferable in
every way to Conant's; and the board
cannot now lawfully revise its action.
The books they adopted, at their regular
meetings, for the five years beginning
July l last, are the only ones that can be
used in the common schools of the
county till July |, 1895.

JAILED FOR BURGLARY.

The county jail has another occupant
in the person of Charles Page, aged
about 10 years, who is charged with en-
tering the house of Wright Ferguson, in
the east part of the town of New Haven,
on Sunday and appropriating a quantity
of property valued at 5000. He was ar
rested in New Haven Monday by Deputy
Sheriff Caldwell and had a hearing before
Justice H. P. Palmer, who bound him up
in the sum of $500 to wait the action OF
the grand jury. In default of bail he
was brought here by Mr.. Caldwell. He
is son of Mrs. Russell Wales, formerly
of this town and now of Bristol.

MOLE AND COMMENT.

The tariff bill has gone back to the
House and is now in the hands of con-
ference committee.
The American missionaries in Japan
are said to be introducing the game of
baseball with remarkable success.
Gold was quoted at 23S in Buenos
Ayres on Wednesday. There is still
much dlsorganization of the government
and the finances.
The list of candidates for the speakership
is now reduced to II. r. Start of Bakers
field, Hosea Mann, Jr., of Wilmington
and l.. II. Thompson of Irasburgh, all
lawyers. The contest promises to be
lively.
1t is now in order for the railroad COM
mission to report that it is hazardous for
a man to fall off car in motion, and
especially off the front end and to sug-
gest that if he must fall it is safer to land
outside the rails than inside.
The Rutland Herald, in its hysterical
endeavors to prove something in favor of
its peculiar crankism, gives the Republi-
can governor vote of Addison county as
2495. Our returns, which come from the
town clerks in every instance, make the
vote for Mr.. Page 305S.
Among other methods of building up a
town the St. Johnsbury Republican re-
commends these: The citizens of every
community should strive to abandon
petty jealousies, selfish ambition, eXclu-
sve sets, uncharitable designs and silly
gossip. These all hinder the growth of
the place, dwarf its progress, chill its
enthusiasms and discourage its enterprise.
The preachers of economy in State eX-
penses are vigorously advocating a re-
duction in the number of supreme court
judges. No lawyer or litigant has to our
knowledge ever been paralyzed with sur
prise at the swiftness with which the
seven Judges reached Il decision in his
case, and till something of that sort hap
pens the present number can be retained
with entire safety.

he has done for years. The duty on hay,
thousands of tons of which are annually
sent into the States, is increased from
two to four dollars a ton. Additional
facts of the same character might be ad-

reciprocity league has a mission in
Canadians.

Ida NJ, elder daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. +. Watson, died at their home
in Center Ottawa, Thursday, Jan. >,
after an illness of more than eight
years. An acquaintance which was
formed when she was but little more
than a child, lasted through her
school-days, young-lady-hood and
until the present, has revealed the
loneliness of her characteraS a woman
and as Christian. Though suffering
intense pain much of the time, her
cheerfulness and patience were
wonderful, and her constant thought
was to do everything possible for her
self that she might not be burden
upon those who lovingly ministered
to her. Her last work was upon
Christmas tokens for friends. Death
is unwelcome whether he takes our
dear ones instantly or after years OF
warning, but, if separation must come,
there is abiding comfort in the
thought when we are able to say, as
we are of dear Ida, sat rest The
