The new state which congress has
just voted into the Union is situated
upon the same parallel as Iowa,
Northern Nebraska and Southern
Dakota, midway between the frigid
North and torrid South. It contains
nearly 100000 square miles and is
exceeded in territorial area by only
seven states, none of which are east
of the Mississippi. 1t is wonderfully
rich in resources. It's coal mines RI
val the best in the country and it has
great wealth of gold, silver, copper,
lead and stone. 1t has abundance
of wood and timber and soil of great
fertility. 1t is we'll watered and its
climate is equable and healthy. It's
grazing lands are excelled by none
and it is capable of producing grain,
fruits and vegetables enough to feed
small nation. And great progress
has been made in the development of
its resources. Its pioneers were a
remarkably intelligent and progress
i've class, and from the first they
have shaped its policy in accord with
the most advanced ideas. The school
house was located as soon as the set

Willoughby Lake Grove Meeting.

The Universalists of northern Ver-
mont held three days meeting in
the grove at Willoughby Lake, COM
mencing Friday, June 9th, and con-
tinuing through Sunday. The meet
ing arrangements were under the su-
perintendence of Rev. Mr.. Millar of
Glover, and were carried out to the
satisfaction of all. On Friday after
noon Rev. Mr.. Harris of Canton Uni
versity of New York delivered SER
mon. In the evening the sermon was
by Rev. j. A. Seitz, superintendent
of the Northern Association of Uni
versalists; Saturday forenoon, SER
mon by Mrs. Pratt of West Concord !;
afternoon, by Rev. L. Warren of
East Montpelier. On Sunday fore
noon, Rev. E. A. Hoyt preached a
sermon, giving the reasons why he
was Universalist; in the afternoon,
sermon by Rev. /. j. Meade, editor
of the Gospel Banner, Augusta, Me.
Conference and praise meeting were
held before and after each service.
On Sunday nearly 1000 people were
in attendance, on other days the at
tendance was fully as large as expect
| ed.
The prediction that this Sunday
meeting would bring together lot
of roughs and undesirable people
was not verified. The crowd was of
the most orderly kind and evidently
came to attend the services. Ample
accommodations were furnished for
all at the Willoughby Lake House,
and free entertainment extended to
clergymen during the meeting, which
was most generous on the part of
Landlord Richardson. 1t is now in
tended to hold another three days
meeting at this place the last of Au-
gust, if so it will undoubtedly draw
still larger attendance.-Jour7aol.

The Governors Appointments.

The St. Johnsbury Republican, in
figuring out the appointees TO be
named and made by the next govern

"There is a general feeling that a
good many changes will be made, if
not a new deal all around. The tri-
umphant Page majority at the state

up to its privileges in this respect
and it is perhaps natural to expect
still further changes. In the mean

ssOriginal Package" Legislation

About a month ago the Senate, on
motion of Senator Wilson, of Iowa,
passed a bill designed to relieve the
States Of whatever injurious effects
there might be IN the recent decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States in regard to the importation
and sale of liquor, in original pack
ages. AS passed by the Senate this
bill provided that liquor imported
from one State into another should
cease to be regarded as amenable to
Interstate Commerce law as soon as
it reached its destination within a
State. The House Judiciary Com
mittee has amended that bill so as to
make it applicable to all articles
whatsoever.
The effect of the House amend
ments will be to declare that all ar
ticles of commerce shall be conidered
to be within the control of State
as soon as they reach their destina-
ton, and that they may not be sold
within that State, in the original
package or otherwise, in violation of
State laws. Provision is made against
discrimination by particular States
in favor of articles produced within
those States, ,and care has been taken
to prevent the measure from author
izing anything like State prohibition
of interstate commerce or virtual lev
ying of duties by one State upon
the products of another.
In this shape it is probable that
the bill will be passed by the Honse
and accepted by the Senate. 1t is
an extremely delicate and difficult
sucject, and one that has engaged
the attention of the ablest constitu-
tional lawyers in both houses in Cong
ress. In some shape OF other a law
should be passed by the States in the
interests of temperance. Hundreds
of petitions to this effect have been
received by the Congress and the
Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania called special attention
to the matter in its platform adopted
this week. Before another fortnight
has passed we expect to see upon the
statute books a law that will accom-
plish the necessary object.

It seemed to an observer of the
governor contest on the floor of the
convention that it was both a remark
able and a fortunate circumstance
that four veteran soldiers Nara
more of Bakersfield, Hebard of Chel-
sea, Smith of Gaysville and Austin
of Barton-spoke in succession IN ia
vor of Mr.. Page. These veterans
spoke with culminative force and eff
feet, Captain Austin's speech, the
last of the quartette, though all were
excellent in matter and diction, being
generally considered the most effect
i've address of the'day. Four old sol
diers-Blake and Austin of Barton,
Ballard of Burlington and Sawyer OF
Hydepark- united to explode the Can
ola CGndrd. Mr.Page's canvass owed
much of its strength, and the ultl-
mate triumph was largely due to the
sturdy independence with which these
and many another veteran espouse0
his cause and adhered to it, under
pressure greater, probably, than was
ever before brought to bear upon any
order or class of citizens, till the last
shot was fired. As veteran writes
us: SIT was a good thing for the @
I A. r., as well as for the Page cam
paign, that four old soldiers support

Bank of Buenos Ayres..

The news is not good regarding
the Argentine Republic. 1t is not,
perhaps, quite SO bad as at first re-
ported. There is actual suspension
NOT suspension of business, but of
payment Of dividends. The differ
ence, it must be admitted is very ma
terial; but suspension of payment in
any shape is unfortunate. 1t is es-
pecially so in Buenos Ayres, and
throughout the entire Argentine Re-
public. The finances of the repub-
lie, it is we'll known, have, for
some time, been in a shaky condition.
The national debt is $3.50, ,341 ,442.
The provinces owe $213,68 ,252
and the city Of Buenos Ayres S24,-
O44, 1852. Of this total som S322,-
500, ,554 is foreign debt, and held
mostly in England. 1t is only a few
months since revolution was threat
ened; and it was only averted by a
change of Finance Minister. The
present incumbent of the office has
shown both ability and boldness; but
it remains to be seen whether he is
fully equal to the situation. No one
doubts the value of the Argentine
territory; but the finances have long
been in a chronically bad condition.
On the Sd of November, 1887, they
adopted a national bank law similar
to that of the United States. But
time and good management are need
ed to give the new system a fail
chance. Mail and EGpresS.

The long and bitter struggle in the
House over the bill to regulate ma
tional elections ended on Wednes-
day with the passage of the bill by
a vote of 155 to 149. The Democrats
fought against the measure to the
last and put every possible obstruc-
tion in its way, feeling, evidently,
that their last hope of control over
the vote of the solid South was at
stake. The defeat of the measure
in the senate is predicted by its OPP

President Harr1son's Success.

The M0W ana EGpfeSS puDllSneS
letter from Senator Blair of which
the following is part.
The President must be conceded
to have developed great personal
power and a marked successful lead
ership. Probably his opponents ad-
mit-if they do not it is the worse
for them-that in the most difficult
of the functions of his office-the
selection of men to execute the laws,
that process by which the statute
book is converted into good govern
ment and public welfare-President
Harrison has made hardly a mistake,
and none of Importance, while gener-
ally everywhere his appointments
have been characterized by high per-
sonal character and fitness for which
they have been intended.
1t does not follow that the Presi-
dent is in fault because there is. or
may be, personal disappointment
and occasional complaint on account
of the of the distribution of patron
age. The competition for place has
been extraordinary.
What with the hold-over Republi-
cans and the Civil Service law pro-
tecting the intruding democrats, our
eager and able aspirants have been
many of them-severely disappointed
| in effort to obtain what seems right
fully to belong to them, and what
under the old order of things they
would have easily obtained. But for
this disappointment it is hardly fair
to blame the President any more than
the poor, battered Congressional
delegations who have been called up
on to insert ten pegs in a hole, and
very often twenty pegs where there
was no hole at all.
And now that this work is mainly
over, we witness an extraordinary
! phenomenon-noO one pretends to
saw that President Harrison ever told
lie. I don't believe that this tri-
butte of admitted honesty and good
faith was ever SO generally accorded
to Chief Magistrate in his lifetime.
| George Washington Jared worse in
this respect while living, for he was
in his day accused of deception, with
other infamies without number.
If we reflect upon this circumstance
we shall be more and more impressed
with its singularity and with the pre-,
eminent candor which must have
marked all the utterances and deal
ings of this remarkable man with the
great numbers of anxious applicants
for place, and their sometimes still
more eager friends, all of whom
could so readily have been impressed
with unfounded hopes and implied
| lbO L AOol'
dent.
When we turn to the actual ad.
ministration of the public service
think that in neither the foreign OF
the domestic departments have we
ever had a more satisfactory body oi
men doing the work of the United
States. The Cabinet is not only 8
unit, but it is harmonious and nearly
as perfect in all its parts as the lot
of humanity will permit. 1t is great
success in administration to have Sc
cured for every department the mar
best fitted for the sphere assigned t.
him, in which he could not only d(
we'll, but in which he could do hi
best, thus insuring to each the bes
opportunity possible for the promo
ton not only of the public good, bu
his own special fame as an admins
traitor of great affairs in sphere re
quiring greater abilities than almos
any monarchy in the world.

A change of few degrees in the
temperature means life or death to
many in our large cities at this sea-
son of the year. Probably Chicago
more than any other city has suffer-
ed most severely from the hot wave
of last week. On one day when the
thermometer recorded over one hun
dred degrees, the persons found in
the streets of the city unconscious or
dead crowded upon one hundred in
number, and three hundred horses
were found by the police, the dea d
cats and dogs being practically in
Vulnerable. Here in Vermont, par
ticularly on the borders of the lake,
we can form but very inadequate
idea of this state of affairs. While
during the past two or three days the
weather has been oppressively warm,
toward evening the most delightful
breezes prevail and the nights are
generally cool and comfortable.

Senator Edmunds has asked for
appropriations of 81, 800 in the sun
dry civil bill to be expended in a
bronze tablet for the interior of
Washington monument, the tablet
to be adopted by the secretary of
war. But the question arises who
built the monument, in order that
his name or their names may be suit
ably inscribed on the tablet. This
monument was begun way back in
1917, and the various changes since
that date may make the settlement
of this question one of some difficult
ty. The builders of the Grant mon
ment should take warning and hurry
on their work to conclusion, that
this question as to who built it may
not arise to vex the tablet makers of
fifty years hence.
