Mrs. BLAINE, wife of the secretary, is in

Mrs. May brick, who was sentenced to
prison for life in England for poisoning her
husband. 1t was well understood at the
time that the charge against Mrs. May
brick was not sustained A petition signed
by Mrs. Harrison and the wives of the
cabinet officers has been sent to the queen,
asking for the pardon.
REV. DR.. CHARLES A. BRIGGS returned
from Europe, early last week, after an alb
sence of four months. He is much i'm
proved in health, and will take charge of
his own case in the trial, which is to begin
October 3. The Indictment will be much
more extensive than the three original
charges brought against DR.. Briggs last
May. In addition to the specific departure
from the confession to be charged in the
indictment, there may be the general
charge of his having swept aside the whole
confession of faith in his book Whittier, &"
and in the Forum article on "Church and
Creeds."

the following letter was received from the
president: am very much obliged to my
little friend, your daughter, for the pinks
which arrived here last night in very good

OF all OF us, and say to your daughter
that Mrs. Harrison is quite willing that she
shall give her name to the flower"

ReactiOnary Opposition.

A Vermont CORES pondent of the BoS-
ton Herald writes that paper that great
difficulty in getting the abandoned "
or unoccupied f" farms of the state
taken up lis the neighbors about
Them" He has repeatedly, he says,
"sent people to buy these places, and
they have always been discouraged by
those in the vicinity, who persisted in
running the places down, accompanied
by statements that everybody in the
vicinity was trying to get away. The
people are not only discouraged, but
they are very short-sighted."
Taking hand in the discussion of
the tax problem, the Burlington Earth
finds the only true remedy for burden
some taxation in an increase of popula-
ton, and adds:
" 1t was in accordance with this wise and
statesman-like view of the case that Com
missioner Valentine and other far.seeing
men in the state inaugurated the plan OF
bringing in the Swedes and Others lust as
many of the prosperous Western states
nave Deeu uOlnBj DuJ III seems Jnat there is
so much OF the narrow. minded prejudice
against, and unreasonable fear of, compe-
luton from any new accessions to the pop
ulation, unless they come merely as summer
visitors, that it is likely Vermont is doomed
to grow chronically worse instead of better,
Tor there Is hardly any possibility that the
old fossils, barnacles and ncubi that have
chung so long to their pet theories, will ever
shake themselves loose, and see the truth as
others see it, What Vermont needs to-day

The matter of immigration in its
bearing upon the welfare of Minnesota
was the subject recently OF an editorial
article in the Minneapolis Journal. We
commend the following extract to the
attention of certain Vermont journals
and certain class of Vermont people:
The Board of Trade yesterday very
properly Endorsed, with emphasis, the pro-
position for the organization of State Board
of Immigration. The immigration meeting,
recently held by the men of the Red River
valley counties at Hallock, indicates that
the subject is ripe for consideration. De-
spite the reactionary opposition OF few
country newspapers, DESTROYS OF keeping

Is greatly increasing in volume. 1t Is no.
ticeable that live, hustling, substantial
towns in the state are becoming such be-
cause the lands in their vicinity have been
settled and occupied by farmers AS wild
land is settled and turned into productive
farms, the value of all lands in the vicinity
is enhanced, more or less, with the portion
improved. Every farmer knows that Land
values have enhanced largely in southwest
ern Minnesota the past year or two, because
many actual settlers have gone there. In

Prohibition in Kansas.

A correspondent of the NclC York Times
short time since made tour through
Kansas for the purpose of ascertaining the
effect OF the prohibitory law and the pres
ent attitude OF the people toward it. The
correspondent says: "The result of this
tour, taken in connection with the knowl-
edge obtained from members OF the legisla-
ture last winter, forces the belief primarily
that prohibition in Kansas is permanent
fixture. Second, 1t is reasonably enforced,
as there is not an open saloon in the state
outside OF four cites-Kansas City, Leaven-
worth, Atchison, and Wichita-and there
they are separated from the streets by some
other business, ostensibly the real purpose
OF the proprietors of the drinking places
In Wichita, which is the nearest approach
to free-drinkng place, a stranger must
put himself under the guidance of a native
in order to find place where he can
satisfy his thirst"
Speaking of Kansas City, the writer saws:
THE open saloon is of the days past, while
the joints though frequent are an expensive
luxury for the owners. The revenue from
this source to this municipality is uncer-
tain, as the saloon-keepers are subject to
so much annoyance by the county officials
ana each interruption costs from 800 up
ward, the fine going to swell the school
fund. Public sentiment has changed ma
terlally during the past two years until the
prohibitory law is far better observed in
Kansas City than is the law against larceny
The only difference between the two is that
II there is any revenue from the latter it
goes directly into the pockets of the police
men individually instead of into the city
treasury. Topeka is the only large city in
which this law is absolutely enforced.
There is not a saloon in the city, nor is there
joint that is longer lived than one or two
weeks. The city has derived no revenue
from the saloons for eight years. The
finances OF this city are in better shape than
in the four cities before mentioned, as the
city expenses are provided for in an occu-

Rheinhalter & Co. In this case Judge Start
charged the jury that If they found the
monument was according to the contract,
they would return a verdict for the plain
tiffs for the full amount of their claim. If
there were defects in the monument which
the defendants, with ordinary observation,
could have seen, but accepted the monu-
ment, then, also, the verdict would be for
plaintiffs. II the defects could not be
readily seen, defendants would not be af-
fected by their acceptance, and the verdict
would be for the plaintiffs for the amount
of the contract price, less the necessary ex-
pense the defendants were put To in max
ing the monument what it should have been
under the contract. The jury took the case at
about ten o'clock Wednesday morning, and
after an hours absence returned with YER
diet for the plaintiffs for S744,49 A special
question had been submitted to the jury to
say whether they found the stone in the
second base TO be of sound material; this
question was answered in the affirmative.
The last civil case for trial was then taken
up. This was George Il. Hill as. Wilbur
Brown, The parties live in Berlin and the
action was brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover for 100 hours labor at fifteen cents per
hour. Plaintiff represented that he was by
trade carpenter and joiner; that in the
month of November, 1883, the defendant
sent word to him by one Elmer Hill to come
and work on his barn; and that pursuant to
that call he went to defendants premises,
and that the defendant set him to work ;
that lie did work on the barn more than two
weeks and that the defendant knew he was
at work there. In confederation of his
story as to receiving word from Wilbur
Brown, as above stated, the plaintiff called
as witness the man who brought the
word-Elme Hill. This witness detailed
the errand that had been given to him by
Mr.. Brown. and that he performed it, and
conveyed to the plaintiff the word upon
the strength of which the plaintiff performed
the services in question. The defendant
claimed that he had made arrangements

Vermont Farm Lands.

Hon. Victor |. Spear of the Board
of Agricu ture reports that the applica-
tions for Vermont farms received by him
number 100, distributed through the
states as follows: Massachusetts, 32;
New York, 81; New Jersey, 8 Pennsyl-
vania, s; Connecticut, 8; Kansas, 6;
New Hamps hire, 5; Rhode Island, 5;

list, he says, "dots not include what
ever applications other members of the
board may have had which would doubt
less increase the showing very materi-
ally. Tie uses for which the appli-
Giants desire farms cover wide range,
but the most common desire is either
for small, cheap farm, for a home or
for summer home. Many of the
writers express very strong intentions
OF coming to Vermont to live. 1t is too
early to tell whether these applications
will materialize or not, but the interest
thus far manifested goes far to show
that there is a demand for the goods
we have to offer, but it yet remains to
be seen whether the location, terms,
prices, ETC., will be satisfactory

THE new land in Oklahoma which
was thrown open to settlement last
week was obtained by purchase from
four tribes of Indians, and captains
about l 100000 acres. AS each Indian
receives one-quarter section and other
land is reserved for school purposes,
only about S00,000 acAA were open to
white settlers. There WAroom for
about 5000 persons, but some $4,000
rushed in, and great deal of suffering
has taken place. When the new settlers
are located on their farms, they will
have new and delicate question TO
face-that of getting along peaceably
with their scattered Indian neighbors.
This attempt to civilize the Indians will
be we'll worth watching, but one can
hardly expect much from it.
To paraphrase paragraph Of our es-
teemed contemporary in its issue of
week ago, the Argus and Patriot viru-
lently attacked better citizens than its
editor last week, virtually charging the
sheriff of the county with packing the
grand jury, etc., etc. All this comes
with bad grace from man whose con-
nection with the Bellows Falls post
office is not yet forgotten in this COM
munity, who has been soundly thrashed
by B. d. Harris, by A. n. Swain, by
j. w, Clark aud others at different
times in his life, for his offences against
truth and private character, who was
raided during the civil war for his rank
disloyalty and bitter apprehension
and forced at the point of the bayonet
to cheer the Union flag, who in
condition of maudlin exhilaration at
certain Boston banquet pledged YER
mont's "six electoral votes in the next
national election to General Butler and
who but recently was roundly abusing
the very justice who has now the mis-
fortune to have him for a defender.
All this and much more, if personalities
have any thing to do with public acts
and public matters. We suggest these
few things merely TO show what
weapons might be used in this kind of
a "discussion of public questions.
But the question is not whether the
editor of this paper is better man
than A. J. Locklin or Justice Hinkley,
or whether the Argus editor is
better man than Sheriff Howe or other
citizens whom he is virulentlyD as
sailing, and for the high-handed out
rage upon whom by the saloon interest
on the night of July he had no word
of notice or condemnation. The ques-
ton is simply one of obedience to the
laws of the state-to every law Of the
state, not simply such as one may elect
to obey-and the wise and impartial
enforcement of the law. This is the
matter to which the WATCHMAN was
addressing itself, and it is the matter in
which this community is now pro-
foundly interested, in which it is very
much in earnest and from which it will
not be turned aside by the explosions
from the Argus mud artillery.

So long as there is the slightest pos
sibility of the United States getting into
a war, it is good policy to keep the
standard of our little army up to the
highest point of efficiency, and the new
tactics, which have been approved by
General Schofeld, may we'll be hailed
with delight by army officers. The
Acknowledgement says that, with these
tactics, new rifles and new powder, the
art of war will be at its best in the
United States. The principle on which
the tactics are based is that of skirmish-
ing. The army, when before the enemy,
will be composed of bodies of men as
diminishing units, and when one of
these units strikes the enemy, instead
of retreating it will advance, all the
time receiving increasing support from
the other units until the whole force is
engaged. Short and decisive battles
will result. The change in tactics will
involve much studying, and the militia
forces in particular have work ahead of
them.
SOME difficulty with the new govern.
ment of Chill seems to be apprehended
at Washington. 1t is reported that
United States citizens have been arbi
trarily arrested, that Gordon of police
has been placed about the United States
legation building, and that Minister
Egan is being harassed and annoyed
in his efforts to protect our interests
1t is probable that there is some basis
for these rumors, but it is also probable
that the facts are exaggerated. The
congressional party has felt rather bitter
against the United States on account OF
the seizure of the Itata, and it has sus.
pected-with little reason, it would
seem-that Minister Eagan took sides
with Bamaceda while the war was in
progress. Despite these facts, how

Mr.. GLADSTONE figures it out thai
the liberals will have a majority of at
least one hundred in the next parlia-
ment, which is to be elected next year,
and the general opinion is that he has
made a shrewd estimate. The pre-
posed programme for liberal ministry
is for Mr.. Gladstone to retain the
premiership until an Irish home-rule
bill has been passed, when he will be
succeeded possibly by Lord Roseberry.

ONE of the recent cabinet rumors is
that the president will not appoint a
secretary of war after Secretary Proctor
retires until congress meets in Deem
Der, thus leaving the department in
charge of Assistant Secretary Grant.
The president might do much worse
than to appoint the assistant secretary.
General Grant would probably carry
out the policies of Secretary Proctor
during the remainder of the admins
tration, and that would be far more
satisfactory than to have any radical
changes made. A secretary not fa-
miliar with the work of the department
would hardly get the hang of things
before his Time would be out.
