who came out Ahead ,

The press representatives from New
York who were here with the president,
made quite show of themselves late
that night. They went to the railroad
station expecting, as they claimed, to
be allowed to sleep in the private car, al
though they had previously been told
that that would be impossible. The car
of course was locked and then they
hunted up one of the railroad officials,
but he had had his orders to keep the car
locked and so they got no satisfaction
out of him. The press men were very
wild, and at last got an order from head
quarters to be allowed access to the Gar.
In their dispatch to the Boston Herald
they tell how, as they think, the railroad
boys got even with them, as follows:
But the railroad employees had their in
nings later on. About a. m, when the
tired travellers were sleeping soundly,
they began to bang the car with their
mop-rags, and further rest was out of
the question. The victims have no
doubt that the early call of the. mop bri-
gade was made to get square with them
for getting the better of the station
agent the night before. "-St. Adams
Messenger.

more than half a crop. Hadley: Tobac-
co is mostly harvested and is in excellent
condition; some late pieces show little
rust. Pears are finer than the average
and in larger quantity. Apples are fair
and in some regions in large supply. but
are unevenly distributed. Blandford:
Potatoes are being harvested; heavy
yield and small amount of decay found.
Corn, with another week of good warm
weather, will be out of the way of the
frost. All fruits are abundant; apples
are now showing to be good average
crop. Fitchburg: Corn doing well, also
Lima beans and winter squashes Pota-
toes fair and do not appear to be troubled
with rot. LeOminister: Crops are doing
well. No potato rot yet; notice a few
fields of late potatoes that show some in
dications of blight. Ounces will be be-
low an average crop. Chelmsford: The
rains have been very beneficial to corn
planted on dry ground and also to the
rowen crop and fall feed. Marblehead:
Prospects for fall feed now good. Onions
are drying down and seem to be more
than an average crop, Ensilage crop
looks better than for several years.
Marshfield: Turnips and onions never
grew faster. Pastures and meadows i'm
proved, and the moist soil, with the
warm sun, is pushing the corn crop.
Cranberries ripening; harvest begins
next week. Walpole: Considerable
alarm on account of potato rot, although
not much damage as yet. Grapes are
ripening slowly; some rust and mould
Taunton: The damp, cloudy weather of
the past week has not ripened fruit rap
idly and has tended to rot potatoes.
Pears are plentiful and of good quality.

SECRETARY PROCTOR ACCEPTS.

SECRETARY PROCTOR ACCEPTS.
Hon. Redfeld Proctor has sent the
following letter to Governor Page, ac-
cepting the appointment to the seat in
the Senate made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Senator Edmunds:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 8, 1891.
His E.ccellency Carroll S. Page, Gooer-
nor Of Vermont:
DEAR SIR-I take this my first oppor-
tunity to acknowledge the receipt of
the oath ult., in which you state your
purpose to appoint me as the successor
of the Hon. George f. Edmunds in the
United States Senate upon his retire
ment on the first of November next.
In informing you of my intention to
accept the same, desire to express nv
high appreciation of the great honor
which you do me by the tender of this
the most important appointment which
the Chief Executive of State can be
called upon to make. 1t is also gratify-
ing to be assured by you that, besides
the sanction of your own Judgment, you
believe this selection meets the wishes
of large majority of the people of Yer
mont. The confidence which they have
heretofore shown in me has encouraged
me in every position in the public ser
vice to which have been called. With
out their confidence 1 should not care
to be even Senator from Vermont in
the Senate of the United States, a posi-
ton which has been unique by reason of
the ability and influence of the Repre-
sentatives of our State in that body,
among whom none have been more dis
tinguished than he who, after service
of quarter of century, has felt
obliged in justice to himself and his
family to relinquish his great trust.
To succeed him is responsibility
which l shall assume with due modesty.
But the people of Vermont are always
reasonable in their expectations. They
have right to expect, however, that to
the best of my ability 1 will faithfully
and earnestly perform every duty which
may become incumbent upon me, and
this promise to do. l thank you for
the cordial and friendly expressions of
your letter, and am with much respect,
Yours very truly,
REDFIFID PROCTOR

The Queen of England has learned
lesson which many another woman less
exalted has had to learn. The lesson is
this, never to invite company unless you.
really desire to become the hostess of
the one to whom you have extended the
invitation. Some months ago formal
invitation was sent by Queen Victoria to-
the Maharajah of Mysore to visit Eng
land. 1t was known that the Prince is a
Hindoo and that a Hindoo cannot cross
the ocean without breaking his caste.
And therefore it was argued that the in
vitation would certainly be declined
with thanks. But the Prince is a very
enlighted Hindoo and has thrown to the
winds the prejudices and superstition of
his religion. He has decided TO sacri-
flee everything and will visit England
this autumn.
Secretary Proctor tolls a newspaper
correspondent that he has not resigned
his place in the cabinet and doesn't
know when he will. Gov Page hasn't
appointed him Senator yet and will not
do so till November.

THE STATE PRISON WHITE
WASH,


The commission to investigate the
cruelties and frauds charged against the
Dannemora prison management is a
fraud on its face, organized solely to
whitewash those implicated in the scan
dals. 1t bears the impress of shame
full deception put up by Gov. Hill and
Superintendent Lathrop. The commits
sion consists of two men who are in
known sympathy with the State prison
ring, one of whom holds Office through
Hills friendship, and the other an
official whom Gov. Hill says Lives off
the prison ring as his father did before
him" and the third is Mr.. Craig, law
yer who is trying to have the prison
authorities give him a contract to use
the convlcts to make ladies' underwear
instead of employing them in the shirt
industry. He is thus and in other ways
linked to the prison ring, and is chair
man of the commission. The commits
sion is sitting in secret with closed
doors. 1t refuses to permit those who
have made the charges against the pris-
on officials to employ lawyer, and it
will give no adequate assurance to con-
vict witnesses that they shall be pro-
tected from the vengeance of keepers
against whom they may testify. Under
these circumstances the N. Y. Morning
AdUertiser refuses to appear against the
inculpated prison officials, and protests
against the action of the commission.
That paper says that these acts are with
out precedent, and further, that
''The Morning Aduertiser has the dates,
names, ETC., of every offense charged,
and has offered to produce witnesses to
prove their truth. For the better pro-
lection of such witnesses and to bring
out complete chain of evidence, it can
hardly be seen why counsel was denied
recognition at such investigation. Are
the facts to be concealed? ? Mr.. Craig is
a member of the commission which will
sit in judgment. Mr.. Craig is to act as
counsel for the defense. Mr.. Craig is to
act for the prosecution. Mr.. Craig as
judge, counsel for prosecution and de-
Tense! Rather strange arrangement,
if nothing more. 1t does not smack of
sincerity on the part of the investiga-
tors to get at the whole truth"
The commission has reached Dame
mora to commence their alleged investi-
cation, and were welcomed to that hos
pitable region with vension feast. In
vestigation! Bosh! The sole business
of the commission is to whitewash the
prison ring under direction of Gov. Hill
and Superintendent Lathrop. But next
winter the legislature will make an in
vestigation which will doubtless let in
the light on the whole chapter of prison
villainies.-Sunddy Budget,
After a short session, the commission
has adjourned until the 18th. The testi-
mony of convicts has been such that
their transfeTence to some other prison
for safety has been determined upon,
says the press dispatches, The latter
indication would imply that an entire
change of keepers, etc., is called for.
Turn on the lights, gentlemen--sit not
with closed doors.

desire especially to see and examine
into the workings of the new Indian
companies just organized. All orders
are given in English, and, while all the
men do not understand the language,
they soon come to know the orders, and
conform to the rules quickly. The ex-
pertinent of making trained soldiers of
them is proving successful" As the
BANNER was the first to bring forward
the idea of Indian enlistments, it will
await the report of the Secretary, after
personal inspection of his Indian soldiers,

amending the Australian ballot law, as
it was termed, as passed at the regular
session of 1890, so far as it related to the
election of town representatives, was
brought up. Inasmuch as there had
been good deal of discussion in the
State and many diverse opinions had been
put forward, Secretary of State Chauncey

LYNN, Mass, "Daily Evening Item" un-

pleasant little aff9ir in that city in which
one of the boys we have sent out was the
central figure; "A very pleasant affair took
place at the factory of c. S. Sweetser, Mon
day afternoon. The Supt., VIM. II. Sey-
mour, was about TO take upon himself the
responsibility of manufacturing shoes, and
having been with the above firm IA years,
had gained many friends both in the fac
tory and out, with whom he had dealings,
SO his shopmates called him into the ship
ping room and Stephen Moran stepped
forward and with few well chosen words
presented him with very handsome roll
er top desk and chair which was, without
doubt, a great surprise to him, as he could
not respond for some moments, but when
he recovered himself he thanked his friends

serious danger to human life obviated
These utensils are so constructed as to pre-

can give will cover the whole truth. 1t is

Two recent decisions of he supreme
court. one rendered in Rutland and the
other in Addison county, seem to have
oiyen a construction to the pauper law
of 1886 that will put an end to itiga-
lion over the residence OF paupers.
According to the newspaper reports o.
the latter case the pauper had reslaeo
in the town of New Haven about two
wears when aid was furnished him by
that town. but Middlebury was the
town in which he had last resided for
the period of three years, supporting
himself and family. 1t was decided
that, as he had moved into New Ha-
ven to reside he was chargeable to
that town upon the ground that see
ton 2S14 of the Revised Laws, as a.
mended, imposes upon towns the obi
CATION to relieve and support all poor
and INDECENT persons residing therein !;
when in need Of relief. The court
recognizes but two classes Of paupers
under the recent law, namely, tram
sient and resident, and holds that
when a pauper has moved into town
10 reside that town thereby becomes
chargeable with his support. If the
fact of residence is established the
length Of time the residence has con-
tinued does not seem material .-Phoe-
