STILL AT IT.

Chairman Baldwin of the repub.
lican state committee has a letter in
Mondays Burlington Free Press in
which he makes a very lame defense
for the state committee in their
newspaper clubbing business. He
says that the vote to make this
move was unanimous one, when
! the facts in the case are that four OF
the members present were opposed
to the scheme, even if though they
might have voted for it finally, and
| that three absent members have
since said that they were opposed
to the whole scheme and would have
voted against it had they been pres
emit. So the unanimous vote turns
out to be vote of about half the
committee Give us facts, Mr.. Bald
win.
Mr.. Baldwin also states that so
far as l have seen the majority of the
state papers have accepted the
scheme" Has Mr.. Baldwin seen the
Brattleboro Phoenix, the Middlebury
Register, the Bellows Falls Times,
the Bennington Banner, the Spring
field Reporter, the West Randolph
Herald, the Fair Haven Era, the
Burlington Clipper, the Mortified
News, the Windsor Journal, the Rut-
land Herald and the CALIFORNIAN !?
These papers respectfully declined to
reduce their price for any city weekly
in the United States to please the
republican state committee. Evident
lv Mr. Baldwin has not seen them.
In addition to these the CALIFORNIAN
finds that the Ludlow Tribune, the
Londonderry Sitter, the Cambridge
Transcript and the Woodstock
Standard advertise the Boston
Journal and their own paper with
out reducing the price of their own.
Has Mr. Baldwin seen them Will
Mr.. Baldwin please name some OF
the ma jority who, he claims, are with
him? The CALIFORNIAN has not seen
single editorial in any paper in the
state defending this bulldozing
method of the committee, while near
ly all of the above papers are strong
lv opposed to the scheme. In an
other column are copious extracts
from newspapers who differ from
Chairman Baldwin.
Just as we were writing that not
word of defense had appeared in any
state paper, this week S Barton Mont
tor comes to our desk with an
editorial, no doubt inspired by the
chairman of the committee, who is a
resident of Barton, which says that
the committee never made any at
tempt to force a reduction on any
paper. Let US see. A member of the
state committee wrote US Oct. %
CALIFORNIAN the next day. We were
distinctly told in the letter that the
committee had made clubbing ar
rangement which involved the re-
duction of % cents on the price of
the CALIFORNIAN and unless we ac
cepted their proposition our clubbing
price with the city weeklies would be
90 cents instead of 45 cents. Thanks
to the Boston Journal this attempt
at boycott was promptly defea ted,
and though the state committee
again tried to freeze US out the Jour
nal again refused to have any part
in such tactics. The Barton M onitor
also claims that the committee are
working in the interests of repub-
licanisn If that is true why are
they antagonizing their best friends,
is or 20 of the leading republican
newspapers of the state. The Mont
tor blames the CALIFORNIAN and the
Brattleboro Phoenix only for attacks,

An Exceptional Year,

THE YEAR 1891 has been marked by a
greater advance than any similar period since
the Magazine was established. Not only has
the literary and artistic excellence been main
tanned and increased, but a corresponding
gain has been made in the sale and influence
of the Magazine. At the end of 1891 the cir
culation has risen to more than 140, 900. 1t
may justly be promised that the further i'm

that they are safely turned over TO the CAL
ifornia authorities for shipment back to
China. Under these circumstances 1t in
necessary to take along a strong guard to
ace that none OF the Cinnamon escape.
Arriving at San Francisco Marshal Furay
will turn the Cinnamon over to the Cali
fornia marshal and take q receipt. The
California marshal will transfer them to
the collector of the port of San Francisco,
who will ship them back to China.
The taking along OF u large foroe of dep
uties by the marshal might look to some
like an unnecessary thing. But recent per-
formances on the part of returned China
men show that too much caution canno be
observed. Three OF them were being sent
back from a southern city, and when San
Francisco was reached the marshal in
charge found that he only had two. Where
t he other had gone no III knew. but the
supposition is that he few out of the car
window.
The law which excludes Cinnamon from
the Unite States, and expels those who
cannot show a certificate of former resi-
dence or prove it by competent witnesses is
one that the artfnl Celestial is liable to use
to his own advantage. When he gets
enough OF "the land Of the Free" and de-
sires a cheap trip back to China, he can
go to a strange city, have it whis-
pered around that he has smuggled
himself in, get arrested and admit that he
no right here, and the government will
furnish him a guard of honor to San Fran
cisco, and a free passage from there home.
Is no evidence SO far that this has
oeen done, but there is no one who can say
positively that it has not. The Chinaman
