PROPRIETOR AND EDITOR.

Since there has been an effort to
magnify . difference of opinion con
corning q public question between the
proprietor of this paper and its editor
into a serious quarrel, and to create
an impression that there is breach
of cordial relations between these
gentlemen, it seems proper to explain
what the public, perhaps, has little in
terest to know. namely. that the story
the facts. The simple truth of the matter
is this; Mr.. Hunt is the owner
of the observation-disclosures and Mr.
Holman is its responsible editor.
1t is by no means an uncommon
thing that their views of public matters
and of the policy of the paper concerning
them are at variance. There has been
situation of this kind within the past few
days. The paper, representing the
views of its editor, criticised certain
phases of temperance work which
have the support and approval of
Mr.. Hunt, who, exercising the privilege
accorded any citizen to criticise any utter
snee of the paper, addressed to the editor
a letter of respectful protest. This letter
was printed precisely as would have been
similar letter from Judge Greene or
any other citizen interested la the
work OF temperance reform, and what
seemed to the editor TO be its hasty aud
false assumptions were directly and posi-
lively answered. Mr.. Hunt did not seek,
because he happens TO own the PosT-
ISrELLIGENcER as property. TO
control its editorial utterance, and the
editor did not hesitate TO speak of Mr..
Hunts letter in such terms of plain criti-
eism as he would have applied to the same
letter had il been written by anybody else
Ii is scarcely necessary to say that on
the part of neither of the gentlemen con-
cerned, is there displeasnre or dissatisftc-
tion with the course Of the other. Mr..
Holman has not resigned the editor
ship of the paper, and il is,
perhaps. needless to say that
he viii be the editor in fact so
long as he is the editor in name. We re
greet exceedingly the necessity which
causes the intrusion Of this matter
upon public attention, bn, since il
has been the subject of much unnecessary
gossip and sur,nise. it is perhaps as well
that the facts should be plainly and
authoritasiveiy stated.

of which $50, 500 600 is in bonds in per-
petuity, and the extinction of the rest is
provided for by . sinking fund. This do
mestic debt bears interest at 5 to 8 per

irredeemable in gold, commanded pre-

The officials OF the collapsed Maverick
bank, of Boston, were guilty of gross viola
ton of the law. The national banking law
provides explicitly that "the total liabilities

the amount of the capital stock of such
association actually paid in" President
Potter borrowed thirty times as much as
he was legally entitled 10 take. while
Directors French aud Dana borrowed
respectively fifteen and seven times as
much as the law allowed. They borrowed

THE TARIFF AND NEW ENGLAND.


According to the Burlington (Vt) Free
Press, the total imports the custom-house
returns for the district of Vermont for the
year ending September 30, 1891, show de-
crease in the aggregate of importations
from Canada over those for the year
ending September 80, 1890, of s1,271, $50.
This increase appears to have been con-
fined TO agricultural products which have
been transferred from the free to the duti-
able list, or on which this rate of duty was
largely increased. Of only one agricultu-
raj product were importations increased
to any appreciable extent. That was OF
potatoes, of which, owingto the short crop
of 1890, the total importations increased
from s14.013 in 1890 to s1ss,14 in 1891,
leaving a net decrease in the value of the
imports of farm products named Of ST.
go. 167.
The new tariff has been directly bene-
fetal to the farmers of Vermont and the
other New England states to the full ex-
tent of the diminished importation of the
products of Canadian farms. The Free
Press pays this deserved tribute of praise
to the Mckinley tariff:
No candid person will seriously contend that
because 24,976,436 fewer eggs were imported in
1891 than were imported in 1890, that the con-
sumption of eggs in New England was reduced
to that extent, or TO any extent whatever.
Neither will it be contended that because over
$4,000 worth OF Canadian turkeys and chickens
remained on their own side OF the line that our
New England Thanksgiving was any the less
bounteously observed.
Our manufacturers have also profted, as
shown by their increased sales, SO that on the
transactions for one year, through the small dis
trict Of Vermont alone, the people OF this section
OF the United States have gained 81, 271 $50 on
their purchases, and $76i,723 on their sales.
Their business has accordingly been benefited
to the amount OF s., o., by reason OF the Nc
Kinley tariff
