Blaine Does 1t Again.

Mr.. Blaine's third reciprocity let
ter makes palmer to Republicans
than either of his former missives
did that his reciprocity policy is in
entire harmony with the spirit of pro-
lection. No we'll read student of
economics needs to be told that reci
procity is strongly urged by Henry c.
Carey, the great apostle of protec-
ton learning, but in these days, when
Democratic politicians and newspa-
pers keep up all the time vigor-
Gus campaign Of bluff, it is necessary
for Republicans to keep up an equal
ly vigorous campaign of logic and of
facts, and Mr.. Blaine's latest letter
is valuable and striking contribu-
ton to the contemporary literature of
protection.
Indeed, no free traders can accept
Mr.. Blaine s reciprocity doctrine with
OuU dOullOtIuS bueto tuCJ dtO WHILE
and that protection is right. For if
it be foolish to give away our mar
ket to some other single nation when
we could just as we'll get something
for it., how much more foolish it
would be to give it away to all ma
tions If a single nation, and a
neighboring nation at that, will give
ms no particular advantage in return
for free access to our markets un-
less we drive a sharp bargain for it,
what becomes of the free trade gush
about the brotherhood of nations in
surfing US millennium as soon as
custom houses are abolished? If we
can't handle one nation that way how
are we going to handle twenty? Com.
mercially every nation is for itself
and If we do not want the American
cow to be MIXED by the rest of th'
world we have got to keep the bars
up and the lpillld;g ln1Ee. ~~Pfess.

The Markets.

BUTTERFLY market has been getting
into better shape the past week, and
prices have stiffened little. The de-
mand has been gradually improving, and
the prevalent conditions are such that
a slight Improvement in the amount of
business causes a firmer market and a
tendency toward higher prices. The
cooler and more settled weather has
been beneficial, and while business is
not very active, there has been better
inquiry, and this fact has given dealers
confidence. Prices on all kinds are con-
siderably steadier than they have been
for some weeks, and slight advance
has been obtained for choice fresh arriv-
ais.
We quote: Western extra creamery,
% and 2315c; fancy, well-known marks
higher; n. Y. and VT. extra creamery,
25c; extra frsts, % and 24c; N. Y. and
VT. dairy, good to choice, 10 and 22c;
CHEEsE.-There has been good firm
market on cheese this week, but there
has hardly been trade enough to warrant
any advance in prices.
We quote Northern choice, 91a and 1Oc ;
Western choice So and Sc; lower
grades as to quality. Jobbing prices &c
higher.
EGGs.-There has been only fair de-
mand for eggs the past week, but re-
ceipts have not been very liberal and the
market has ruled very firm.
We quote Eastern extras, 23c; fancy,
nearby stock, higher; firsts, 10 and 2lc; ;
extra VT. and n. HI. 23c.
POTATOES. receipts of white po-
tatoes the past week comparatively speak
ing have been light and the market has
very firm. The rain of last week inter
rupted digging and the stocks on the
market was considerably reduced.
We quote: Choice Portland stock, 50
per bbl; Houlton Hebrons, Go and zoe
per bu; do rose, 65c; Aroostook Hebrons,
65 and roc; do rose, Csc; N. Fl. rose and

A Strange Proceeding.

At the late term of the county
court man was tried for intoxica-
ton. Some months before he had
been before a justice and had been
adjudged guilty. His case was ap-
pealed and was heard by the grand
jury of the county-twenty-four in
telligent men and true bill was
brought in against him. In due time
the case came into court. After
great deal of figuring, and the reJec-
ton of a large number of jurymen
by the counsel for the respondent,
the panel was filled and the case went
on trial. The respondent first appeared
in a village some twenty-five miles
from his home, where he assaulted re-
spectacle citizen; he was later seen
in another village by parties who con-
sidered him under the influence of Ii
quor. He went home in company
with a neighbor, who saw him in
stupor and VINO carried parcel,
which he, the respondent, did not
seem able to look after and to carry
home. He, the neighbor, followed
the man forty rods in the streets of
his own village, all the way to his,
the respondents, house saw him reel
into his barn, instead of going to his
house, and there was ordered off the
premises by the neighbor whom he
was trying to assist and get into his
home, where he could be cared for.
He, the respondent, was seen by sew
eral Of the best citizens of his own
village as he reeled and staggered
through the streets, every one of
whom as witnesses testified in court
that they considered the man intoxi-
Gated. There was no pretense, no
proof to the contrary. The counsel
for the respondent submitted no
proof, but in their argument sneered
at the law, appealed to the sympa-
thy of the jury, and resorted to the
strategy employed when there is no
case. The court gave an excellent
charge. There was probably not a
single man from bench to box, or box
to floor who did not know and feel
that the man was intoxicated, and
yet six out of twelve jurymen voted
the prisoner innocent of intoXication.
Strange travesty of justice Men
who forget their oaths, set aside law,
decide cases on impulses or sympa-
thy, aud whose prejudices and ca
prices control their judgments are un-
fit to be used as the triers of cases.
Such proceedings as this, the like of
which is occasionally seen, we are
sorry to say it, in this county, are
well calculated to bring law into con
tempt and to increase crime in our
midst. A full, certain, sudden and
inexorable punishment for law break
ing is what terrifies the wicked and
prevents the committing of crime. A
few such proceedings as the one re-
ferred to in any county will curse and
demoralize it for years.

The Soldiers Reunion.

The Orleans County Veterans Associa-
tion held its meeting on the fair ground
on Thursday last, and Notwithstanding
all the unfavorable circumstances which
worked aganstit, gathering respectable
in size and excellent in character assem-
bled. The day was bright but cool, and
the exercises on the ground were not as
elaborate as at some former gatherings.
The meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Daniel Skinner, who presided ad-
mirablv The report of the treasurer
showed a small sum in the treasury and
contribution provided necessary funds to
meet expenses.
The following officers were chosen for
the ensuing year: President, DR.. j. c.
Rutherford, Newport; vice president,
Geo. H Blake of Barton; secretary and
treasurer, M. G. Sargent of Newport;
executive committee, Nixon Morse of
Derby, A. J. Miller of Newport, A. Pad
dock of Craftsbury. 1t was voted to hold
the next meeting at Newport, and the ex-
preston seemed to be in favor of a two
days session. A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to w. G. Brown for his free and
generous proffer of the fair ground for
the use of the association the past four
years. very hearty vote of thanks was
extended to Capt. Tucker and to the Bar
ton Landing Band for their presence and
the fine music rendered.
Dr. Branch, orator of the day, spoke in
floral hall to large audience who assem-
bled at that place. His address, as are
all his efforts, was patriotic, scholarly
and eloquent. He traced in brief, touch
ing only the more important and salient
points, the history of each Vermont or
gauization, and 50 embellished the story
with incidents of great interest as to hold
the closest attention of the audience.
His address deserves to be preserved by
printed record. The unanimous and
| hearty vote of thanks extended the speak
er but family showed the appreciation
| felt by his hearers for the effort.
The Barton Landing Military Band had
| been invited to furnish music for the oc-
casion, and it appeared in the rich and
beautiful uniforms lately purchased,
led by Capt. S. B. Tucker, drum major.
To Capt. Tucker the band is indebted for
constant services, liberal contributions
and wise management. The band is COM
posed of clean men, good musicians and
plays finely. j. W. Batchelder, an almost
imperative necessity in all the bands IN
this section, has directed this one cOnsid-
erably and was present with them on
Thursday. The editor was compiimented
by having them drop in on the Cottage
lawn, playing one of its best selections.
Thank you, gentlemen.
The campfire was held in Opera Hall,
which was well filled. The eXercies con-
sisted in short speeches, detailing army
"reminiscences and patriotic comments on
the history of the country. Prominent
among the speakers were DR.. Branch, DR..
Rutherford, Rev. M. Royal, Judge Austin,
Capt Perry Porter, M. G. Sargent and
T. b: N. Randall.
We should have mentioned above the
dress parade, in which large number OF
comrades participated, the band furnish
ing music.

Contested Seats.

Fourteen of the eighteen contested
seat cases have been decided, and
only four remain to be disposed of
by the House of representatives
OF these four, three have been re-
ported on by the Elections Commit
tee and are ready to be voted on,
leaving only one case on which ac-
ton has not been had. Seven seats
have been given to Republican con-
testants, and one to an independent
contestant. Five Of the Democratic
incumbents whose claims were dispu
ted have been allowed to retain their
seats, while one Democrat, Breckin
ridge of Arkansas, was turned out
and his seat left vacant. Had Col.
CLAYTON not been ass assinated he
would now be occupying it. This is
record of which any party may be
well be proud. 1t reflects credit es-
pecially upon Chairman Rowell of the
Elections Committee, not only for
the number of cases disposed of, but
also for the inpartiality with which
the action of the committee has been
directed. When was there a Demo-
cratic Congress that decided five con-
tested seat cases in favor of Repub-
lican? The change this Republican
Congress has made of disposing
promptly of election cases will form

roadmaking. The question is one of
special importance for all the suburbs
within a radius of from five to twen-
ty miles of this city. More and
more in the future the people of
means will be obliged to reside out
of the city in districts where access
to town is speedy and pleasant, and
the desirability of location is greatly
affected by the condition of the roads
in the vicinity. One potent reason
why Brookline has doubled its popu-
lation since tina last census is that its
roads have been kept in such repair
that every citizen can enjoy riding
upon them far out into the country,
and wherever other towns have spent
money freely upon their highways
and kept them in good repair, the in
crease in population has amply COM
pensated the community for its out
lays in this direction. The contrast
between the north and south shores
is an instructive commentary upon
the success and prosperity of towns
where the roads are excellent, as they
are along the North Shore, as COM
pared with roads which are a con-
slant annoyance to eXcursionists and
for general driving, as is too often
the case along the South Shore.
These are local instances, but they
point the lesson which may also be
drawn from a large experience in
western New York, where in former
days the country roads were so bad
that many of the farmers preferred
to 90 to the far West and take their
chances rather than try to take their
crops to the nearest market on roads
which were almost impossible.
There is no single thing that needs
more attention all over the country
than the improvement of the country
roads.

Two CoIored Men Seated.

Sept. % was a great day in the
House for the colored race. Two
more of its leaders were entitled to
seats in Congress and one of them
was sworn in amid vociferous cheers
from floor and gallery. Professor
John Nj. Langston was installed in
place of Edward G. Venable from
the Fourth Virginia district, while
Thomas Z. Miller was awarded the
seat usurped by the William Elliott
of the Seventh South Carolina.
O'Ferrall of Virginia was the sim
gle Democrat in the chamber when
the Speaker raped for order. The
roll call developed two less than a
quorum preseut. The Speaker hesi-
tated in announcing the result and
O'Ferrall demanded that it be made
known at once. Republican after
Republican arose to ascertain how he
was recorded. Governor Grosvenor
sarcastically inquired how OFerrall
voted.

Country Roads.

Some months ago the governor of
Pennsylvania sent message to the
legislature asking that the roads of
the state should receive consideration.
He dwelt upon their wretched condi-
ton and urged, on grounds Of pub
lie economy, that the commonwealth
should undertake the care of them,
and that they should be developed
and built in an enduring manner.
The subject has also been taken up
by the New York State Roads I'M
provement Association, an organiza-
ton hardly six months old, which is
controlled by men who are determin-
ed to redeem the state from its repu-
tation for inferior and untrustworthy
highways. Several interests are be-
hind the movement in the state of
New York. One is the necessity
that the farmers should have better
facilities for taking their products to
the markets. Another is that the
wheelmen may have better facilities
for their exercise and sport. Anoth-
er is that the communication by high
ways throughout the state may be
improved Still another is that in
the neighborhood of large cities and
prosperous towns the landed property
may be made more desirable and at
tractive The movement already en-
tered upon in New York and Penn
sylvania may be proftably extended
to other states, and, in fact, to all
parts of the country. Travellers in
Europe are always enthusiastic over
the highways, but in the United
States comparatively little attention
has been given, since the turnpikes
ceased to be used for stage lines, to
the construction of good thorough
fares for ordinary travel across diff
ferent local sections. New Hamp-
shire has recognized the importance
of these roads in the White Mountain
district, where the local and perma-
nent population is comparatively
light, by making state appropriations
for the construction and repair of the
principal county and town roads
The granite state reads a lesson t(
her sisters in this matter.
The common understanding IS tha
this kind of improvement may be lef
to the individual townships and tt
the local interests. Ordinarily, Il
| the rural districts the town either ap
points a roadmaster, or it allows IN
dividuals to work out their highWa..
tax upon the roads in their owl
, neighborhoods. The result of loca
economy is that the roads are poorl
repaired, and that travellers are oblig
| ed to wear them down to level be
: fore they are fit for use. A larg
+ amount of money in the aggregate
, thus thrown away. The appointmen

Vermont's POINTS

The Listener makes haste to con-
gratulate the state of Vermont. That
little highland commonwealth has
been fortunate and happy in a great
many ways; it is fortunate in its
sunny valleys, fortunate in its superb
forest trees, fortunate in its fertile
soil, fortunate in its stalwart, truly
free sons and daughters, who have
never delivered over to other men and
women the right to say whether they
it is fortunate in another respect still
it is no longer a ''growing state,
even in small way; for in the past
10 years 81 more people have gone
out of the state than have some into
it. That means the soil, out of which
all good things come, has 81 fewer
mouths to feed than before and so
no one goes hungry in Vermont.
There is so much more space upon
which pine trees and naples may
grow and help to keep the goodness
in the land. There are some people
in Vermont, perhaps, who fancy that
their state will lose influence among
the other states on account of its loss
of population. But, setting aside
the fact that no state needs so little
from the general government, the
fact has been evidenced in recent
congressional history, that the infu-
ence of state in the national con-
gress depends more upon the brains
of its representatives than upon their
numbers. Mr.. Edmunds gets up in
his place and the senate proceeds to
make all the farmers in Vermont a
present of bounty of so much on
every pound of maple sugar. But
where is the free coal or free iron
that Massachusetts has asked
for? The trainers of the constitution
were wise in their way when they
flouted mere numbers by giving the
little state as much representation in
the senate as the big ones and even
in the House, where they gave num-
bers free rein, a little state with one
really strong man in its delegation
outweighs in influence the great state
with troop of nobodies to represent
