nation in Vermont is growing rather ami

there is always a temptation to use strong

Another Chance for Free Traders to Point
From the New York Tri5une.l

Ice is not the only crop that has failed
this year. The melancholy news comes from
the maple sugar counties Of Vermont that
the crop of that saccharine luxury is NOT
more than half crop. Instead of the -, =
O00 600 pounds which is the average yield,
it IS doubtful if more than j, 1000, 600 pounds
are produced. Here is another chance for
the rabid free traders to point out the
blightng effects of the protective tariff.

Dir. C. S. Page announces in the columns
of the Morrisyilio Citizen his retirement
from the republican State committee after
n period of eighteen years of active service
Regarding Mr.. Pages work as a member of

repeat what we have already said, that he
has been a most efficient member of that
board and that since he assumed the chair
manship of the committee has directed its
affairs witt marked success.

How the Census is to be Taken.

The explanation of how the census is to
be taken comes out 10y piece meal The
power to enter house and insist on an an
sWer to the questions in the blanks is rs
usual. and the punishment for guessing on
the part of the onumerator is n fine and
Imprisonment But in addition TO these
matters, the new York Tribune calls atten-
ton to a new feature: AT the last census
many men applied for the place of enumer-
ator, thinking 1t Il picnic, but when they
received their books and instructions and
began to grasp the size of the job, they re
signed in large numbers. This year, to
guard against any such business, an enum-
orator who accepts his appointment and
then backs out without giving a satisfactory
reason to the super intendent, may be fiued
and imprisoned.

Vermont more than the majority of other

worthy of the high Office. Plutocrats and
politicians have failed to secure these
coveted senatorial prizes, which every State
ought to award only to true and tried states

the letter you have copiei, that Ir. Page
was minor and under the direction of his
father from the time of the first draft to
the end of the war -
We do not suppose that Mr.. Ballard
meant to say that Mr.. Page was a minor to
the close of the war, though his words seem
to be open 10 such a meaning The facts
are that Mr., Rage become fsge in january
1864 before the campaign Of the Wilder

regiments was in active progress, aud Gov.

Campaion ISLANDERS.

Our readers will remember that when, n
few weeks ago, an attempt was made to
prejudice Col Woodbury. by the suggestion
that, being hotel proprietor, he must be
concerned in the sale of liquor, the charge
was met by the statements of MIR. L. s.
Drew and Mr. Clarke, the managers
OF the Van Ness House, to the eSect
that Col Woodbury. had never permitted
them TO sell or furnish Intoxicating liquors
to guests, and that his orders strictly for
bidding the sale or furnishing Of wines or
liquors to guests had been strictly obeyed.
Tho gentlemen named are truthful and re
sponsible persons, and as their statements
were full and explicit, they were generally
accepted as a final and sufficient answer to
the charge. The Woodstock Standard and
other influential and respectable papers,
which are among Mr.. Pages supporters
added their testimony, gained from the per
sonal observation of the editors, to the
effect that the Van Ness House and its an
mex, the American, We're temperance houses,
and that Col. Woodbury. was open to no
change of Inconsistency or of violation of
law.
River junction Iandmais has had the
hurdhcod to rpiterate the Islander, varying
it slightly in terms but in substance repeat
ing it. Its charge is that Col. Woodbury.
as a lessee Of place which contains II bar
| for the sale of liquor, has been a party to
the violation of the prohibitory law: and that
'the Woodbury. party admit it, Both rs
sertions are fatty false. Col. Woodbury.

Under ordinary circumstances of course
he would not undertake to refutc over his

this case, the Landmarks statement being
in effect charge of completely in what is a
crime under the law of Vermont, he could
not well do otherwise than to notice it. and
reply TO it. He does so with sufficient dis
tinctness The case is not one which calls
for any mncing of terms and Col Wood

No ApoIogics Ncccssary.

We have always been ready to accord to
Col. Woodbury. the honor that belongs TO a
chivalrous and patriotic man, and dislike to
feel that he is any way responsible for the at
tack ON MIR. Page If he has unwittingly par
ticiratcd in the FORMULATION of these false
stories we think he will be willing to aid in I'M

that col. Woodbury. will make the dmcHdc

Col Woodbury. is not responsible for any

ago he wrote as follows to several of his
