A STANDING ARMY IN VERMONT,

What does this talk about a military
post in Vermont meanP 1t Is reported
that squad of cavalry is to be located
up at Essex Junction or somewhere
around there, with the idea that when
the enemy comes down from Canada he
will be promptly driven back with ire
mendous slaughter.
If cavalry are to be stationed in Yer
mont they should certainly go to Essex
Junction, for nowhere else in the State
can so many men be found really thirsty
for gore as there where struggling with
the wrong train is ever in progress, but
there is no occasion for anything of the
sort. 1t is suggested that the scheme
comes from a recollection of the st. AL
bans raid. 1t might just as well come
from the burning of Royalton, 70 years
earlier. Upon neither occasion could
the cavalry have done any possible ser
vice, and upon both Vermonters them
selves did all that could be done. The
most dangerous thing now likely to come
from Canada is one of its citizens with a
desire to "swap de boss" Vermonters
can probably get along with them, how
ever, and might get out a shot gun or
two if any larger game appeared. Any
how Vermont can get along for the
present without having to watch any of
Uncle Sans warriors.

There is a queer story allnat TO the
effect that the farmers league has taken
such hold in Vermont as to probably
make it a doubtful factor in politics
hereafter. An independent farmers
ticket is promised at the next election,
and many other startling developments.
When the Vermontcrs shall be seen
ewing the Old Republican party in any
number, something must happen sure.
-SpriHqticld Repubicda.
The Republican is always discovering
mares nests in Vermont politics. and
this time it is quite us near right as
usual The fact is that the league is
making little progress into the affections
of the farmers of this State. They have
learned that the prime mover in the
enterprise is n Democrat editor mailing
not a thousand miles from the home of
the Republican, and so far as they can
see. he is lin it, for revenue only, as
becomes one of his political stripe. Nor
are they able to ascertain how, when the
farmers compose twO-thirds of the dom
inant party in the State, they can expect
TO accomplish any greater good for
themselves through third party than
through the one 60 which they now be-
long. The probability is that Che league
will not be heard from in the next
election or in any election in Vermont,
