Mr.. Edmunds and the Federal ElcC
ton Bill

The papers which are CHASING Mr.. Ed
munds among the opponents Of the federal
election bill will. we think, discover before
long that they misunderstood his position
His voice and vote have been too often
heard in the Senate in favor of a free ballot
and fair count, South as we'll as North, and
in favor OF the exercise of the full power
of the government to secure such an end, to
doubt his readiness to support any constitu-
tional measure which is calculated to bring
about the desired result. He may have OBJ
jectons to some features of the bill-how
that may be we do not know-but we have
not a particle Of doubt that he believes
that Congress has the constitutional right
to supervise the elections of members of
Congress and that he is in favor of the
strongest measure which can be enforced
to vndicate the fundamental principle of
republican government by ensuring to every
voter white or black, the right to cast one
vote for the candidate of his choice and to
have the same fairly counted.
1t is possible that the misconcepton in re
gard to Mr.. Edmunds's position on this
question has arisen in part from his report
ed opposition to the proposed measure to
change the Senate rules in order to limit
debate. Mr. Edmunds is naturally conser-
vative, and his long service in the Senate
has made him jealous Of any proposition to
invade or seriously modify its rules and ira
ditions; and it is not surprising that he
should question the policy of change
which should permanently introduce in the
Senate the previous question: which
is so indispensable in the House.
While many republicans think that
this measure is essential to the
passage of federal election law, at this
session, it is probable that Mr. Edmunds
does not consider it to be essential. He be-
lieyes, if We understand his views. that the
desired end can be accomplished in other
ways. The Senate has heretofore restricted
debate when necessary by limiting speeches
to five minutes, and in other ways, and it
can probably find ways to do So in this
case. If ii should turn out that the mnor-
ty in the Senate have deliberately set them
selves to defeat the election bill or any other
| bulwark OF republican government, by fill
clustering, then we predict that Mr.. Ed
munds will be found among those who insist
on the right Of the majority to rule. lie
will be in favor of full and fair liberty of
debate, and he will also be ready, when
such liberty has been exhausted, TO adopt
such measure or measures as may be neces-
sary to secure the proper progress of the
! business of the Senate. To doubt this would
be to discard the evidence of his long and
honorable career as IA senator.

Vermont Never Disappoints.

The approximate estimates Of the popua-
ton Of all the towns in Wndham county
excepting one given by Supervisor Howe
TO the Brattleboro Phoenix, show popula
ton for that county Of 25,640
as against 1850 in 1880. A loss
of only nineteen in one of Commissioner
Valentines red" counties is not bad
showing. The Phoenix thinks if the other
counties have done as well as Wndham in
holding their total population, in spite of
the losses in the farming towns, the State
as a whole will make better showing than
has been feared might be the case. just so.
Present indications, however, show that
some of the other counties have done better,
SO much that there is reason to believe
that Vermont as a whole has actually gained
in population since 1880. When Superin-
tendent Porter made out his estimate in adj
vance Of the census Vermont, il we remem-
Der correctly, was the only State In the
Union marked with dash, representing
that no increase was expected here. The
result is not remarkable. Vermont always
does better than is expected of her, and
generally more is expected of her, all things
considered, than of any other State in tho
Union.

The Springfield Union takes the Boston
Transcript to task for saying that the large
increase in the industries of Pennsylvania
reconciles New Euglanders to "the growing
silence and progressive inactivity which
reign in this section. The Union thinks
that the fact that Massachusetts has twenty
six incorporated cities, with more to follow,
all of which have grown to their present
proportions because of the growth OF manu-
features, is not an evidence OF growing
silence and progressive activity a gain
in population of over sixteen per cent in
five years in Springfield alone. for instance,
and more than proportionate growth in
manufacturing business are certainly not
reasons for croaking. Ilolyoke, dependent
entirely upon the gro with Of manufactures
has gained over twenty per cent in
population in five years, and other New
England cities and towns show proportion
ate growth and signs of prosperity. The
Union is right in its conclusion that New
England has no reason to envy Pennsyl-
vania nor any other section of the country

quite as well in a large increase of small
industries, and are very we'll able to take

The revenues for the fiscal year ending
Juno 30, 1891, are estimated by the treasury
department at $3.50, 900, 600, which with the
addition Of the postal receipts, over $50,
600. 600, makes the total estimated revenue
$3.50, Al, 33i This would leave an excess
of appropriations over revenues for the
present fiscal year, providing the bills 90
through Congress as they now stand, of S.
80. 239.
II is calculated that the above amounts,
representing as some of them do appropria
ton bills passed upon by the House which
have not yet been acted on by the Senate,
will be increased rather than decreased by
the Senate,
We hardly need call attention to the fact
that the increase in many of these appro-
printions is necesstated by the failure of
the last Congress to do its duty in provid
ing for the payment of sums which were
due under then existing laws, thus bring
ing the burden of raising the money to meet
Deficiencies upon the present Congress.
There is money enough to meet the APP
preparations, and the revenues of the gov
eminent are rapidly increasing, but it is
urgently necessary for Congress to go slow
in the way Of any unnecessary increase of
appropriations.

Dcpcw and the interviewer.

An English newspaper reporter was fool
ISL enough last week to interview DR..
Chamcey NJ. Depew on the question of
protection VS.. free trade. He didn't get
much comfort out of the great American
speech maker, who declared that the time
Yves coming when English manufacturers
would not be able TO get their goods into
foreign countries, while every country
would be able to send their goods to Eng.
land free. When the reporter asked what
about the mercantile marine, Depcw calmly
remarked that having big ships and the
carrying trade would not compensate
Americans for opening their ports. The
English free traders, as represented by the
sheffield cutters. organized apublic meeting
last week to protest against the Mckinley
bill. They should now organize and protest
against such expressions hy Mr.. Depew re
gordug their favogito hobby. 1t would
probably do as much good in one case as in
the other.

in which they are located, and making

No License for Vermont.

The Newport Express hears rumors of
coalition between high license, repub-
Leans and the democrats in some towns for
the purpose Of electins representative favor
able to the repeal of our prohibitory law.
No doubt attempts Of this sort will he
made. Temperance people should be CON
stantly ON their guard against such trades.
We agree with the Express that such
schemes can never amount to anything if
the temperance people are alert, but if they
are indifferent it is not at all unlikely that
they may in some measure be successful.
The Express says with truth
The time has not yet arrived when license
law would he "a benefit to the state. y badly

The prOAlbitOrl law starts from right princl-
pie, and as such has the moral force OF all

therefore inherently allied to evil. The pro

expression of the hes; thought tor the welfare
of mankind. If il is not enforced It still stands
