PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-The body Of
Mrs. Sarah Kramer, aged S5 years, Of
this city, was found floating in the Del
aware river this morning. Attached to
the waist of the dead, woman by means
of stout rope was the body Of her FIVE
months-old son, Willie. She was some
times subject to fits of despondency be-
cause the child was born club-footed,
and it is supposed that while in that
condition last night she took the de-
formed child in her arms and jumped
into the river.

with the formal dedication of the

will be an occasion in which every
rmonter-whether he yet treads
his native heath or pursues the even
tenor of his way in some other state
will be deeply interested. The ex-
pected presence of the president and
his cabinet officers, as well as many
other distinguished people from
various parts of the country, to say
nothing of numerous organizations
military and civic, will tend to call
out great multitude, and Benning-

full in trying to take care OF her
company, especially on the 10Th and
Goth, which are looked forward to
as the great days of the celebration.
1t will be time for the fostering
and strengthening Of state pride.
Many sons of Vermont now residing

"ELECTROCUTIN THE PRESS.

The newspapers of New York are
lin for it," so to speak, and have
been indicted for breaking the law by
publishing detailed accounts Of the
recent electrocutions in that state.
The editor of the Daily News has
pleaded guilty to the fact. but demurs
to the indictment, on the ground
that the publication Of news cannot
be considered a crime. 1t strikes us
that indictments of this nature are
exceedingly far-fetched. Granted that
a law forbidding newspapers to pub
1ish that sort of news was passed: 1t
looks very much as though such at
tempts to 1nuzzle the press were in dl-
rect opposition to certain important
principles involved in the constitu-
ton; and we shall be very much
surprised if the New York news
paper men do not come out ahead in
the suit over this so-called violation

EXPECTED IT TO PAY.

Does farming pay ?" is rather ia
miliar question, and quite a number
of agriculturists are very ready with
a negative reply. The other day, we
heard OF a gentleman who had re-
Gently purchased a farm in Canada,
not a great ways over the line from
St. Adams. He paid six thousand
dollars for it; he had added two or
three thousand more by way of i'm
provements; he did not do any work
on it himself, except in overseeing
and directing details, and hired a
man to carry it on; yet he asserted,
figured and expected that it was 60
ing to pay him fifteen per cent the
first year. If these expecta tons are
realized within four or five per cent,
it would seem to indicate that the
question above given deserves an
affirma tive answer occasionally at
least

DEATH OF Ex-sECRETARYP PORTER

Death has claimed another citizen
of this state who had held prominent
position. Hon. Chas. w. Porter of
Montpelier, who had served as
secretary of state for three terms,
and was succeeded by Hon. c. w.
Brownell, Jr., at the last election,
died at New Bedford, Mass, on the
I'd inst. He had been in poor health
for a year past, and had tried a sea
voyage, returning to the home of his
brother-in-law, J. H. Dennison of
New Bedford, only to grow worse
rapidly. Deceased was a native of
Hartford, this state, forty-two years
old, and a graduate of Phillips And
over Academy. He was admitted
to Washington county bar in 1874,
and married a daughter of the late
Chas. w. Bailey of Montpelier.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.

This important event In O. A. K.
circles began at Detroit on Monday
of this week under most favorable
auspices. The city was gaily deco
rated, and there was an immense at
tendance of veterans and citizens
generally. Vermont contribution to
the multitude included Gov. Page and
Staff, Commander-in-chief Veazey,
Department Commander Morgan,
Mrs. Thompson, state president of
the W. R. c., and other prominent
people.
There was a sharp rivalry over the
position of commander-in-chief. 1t
was said Gen. Veazey's Eastern
friends were for A. 6. Weissert of
Milwaukee, that gentleman having
withdrawn from the contest last
wear in favor of the Vermont candi-
date.
The parade on Tuesday was a
grand spectacle Vermont's repre-
sentation in this feature numbered
$50, and as the Green Mountain
state could boast of q commander
in-chief this year, its contingent was
received with emphatic applause.
On Tuesday commandments
Veazey was presented with a $1,000
diamond 9. A. R. badge, by the
members of his staff, ex-President
Hayes making the presentation
speech.
On Wednesday Commander-in-chief
Veazey delivered his address, con-
graduating the fraternity on its pres
ent prosperity, referring tenderly to
deceased members of the order, and

Senator Quay has resigned the
craftsmanship of the national repub-
lican committee, and Treasurer
Dudley has also stepped out. Both
designations were rendered and &C
cepted at a meeting of the committee
on the Doth. Quay gave no particu-
lar reason for retirement, but Dudley
gives press of business as his reason.
So far as heard from, there seems to
be no great amount of regret among
the republicans of the country over
the withdrawal of these gentlemen,
since it has been held for some time
past, by many members of the party,
that the best interests of the organi-
cation demanded change. The
committee is now in better shape for
effective service.

THAT TROUT LAW.

The CALEDONIAN'S article on six
Inch Trout" last week, seems to
have stirred up the Rutland Herald
to some extent In addition to copy
ing the article referred to, the Herald
on Monday said:
''If people openly violate the law
over there and the newspaper sneers
at it, there is certainly an Opportun1-
tv for missionary work. In some
parts of the state, around Rutland,
for instance, the CALIFORNIAN would
find laws protecting fish and game
respected and reasonably well en-
forced. There must be, however,
long and thorough campaign of ed
ucation' before just the right condi-
ton Of things can be brought about
all around, and the contemporary
ought to join in forwarding it. St.
Johnsbury ought to have officers of
the Fish and Game league on hand
to bring out the practical side of the
laws little.'
Our Rutland contemporary is di-
rectlv within the influence of the Fish
and Game league to which it refers,
and so is particularly sensitive on
this subject. But the Herald must
not for moment imagine that the
CALIFORNIAN is inclined to ''sneer' at
the aforesaid law; it must realize
that there is difference between a
'sneer'' and smile. The article in
the last CALIFORNIAN was meant SIM
ply to emphasize the fact that in
most parts Of the state the six-inch
clause of the fish law is utterly disre-
garded more, nothing less.
There is indeed, in this connection, a
wide field for missionary work y
not only among the catchers of trout,
but among the legislators as well ;
for those lawmakers who will enact
such a statute, and not see to it at
the same time that due provision Is
made to ensure as far as possible en-
forcement in every town in the state,
are not far-sighted
Rutland is fortunate as headquar.
tiers of an energetic Fish and Game
league; but it is not too much tic
hint that in portions even of Rut
land county this missionary work
to which the Herald refers might be
carried on to advantage. Most
towns in the state have no officer
whose special duty it is to enforce
the six-inch clause, and so many ar
underling beauty finds its way into
the basket and on to the string. DOM
for moment, dear contemporary
think that St. Johnsbury is the only
locality in the state where the clause
referred to is apparently as dead as
most of the trout which few con
scientious fishermen do throw back
Such is not the case, by any means
We should be as glad as the Herald i
the law could be faithfully observed
everywhere.

Almy, the Hanover murderer, has
thus far eluded justice, and nothing
is vet known concerning his where
abouts. A strong effort is being
made to find him, but there seems to
be no immediate prospect of success
in that direction. At this distance
from the date of the crime it looks as
if any hope of securing him must
rest on the familiar adage that
murder will out"-sooner or later.

The state insurance commissioners
recently gave hearing to representa-
tives of the Peoples Five Year Bene-
fit order, who asked reversal of the
action refusing them license to do
business in the state, on the ground
that it has features that are different
from those of the other endowment
orders. But the commissioners
would not change their views, hold
ing, as State Treasurer Field says,
that the whole scheme is morally
wrong and automatically impossi-
ble" Vermont is considerabl ahead
of the other New England states in
keeping out these benefit (?) orders.

Was Forced to Resfen.

The republican party occasionally
falls into the hands of unworthy
leaders. 1t was guilty Of a grave
indiscretion, as is now made clear,
when it elevated Mr.. Quay to the
craftsmanship of the national COM
mittee. There was, however, no
way in which he could be summarilv
unseated, and the only thing that
the party could do was to protest
against his continuance in the Office
for which he was-plainly unfit, and
to urge his voluntary resignation.
This has been done. One representa-
tive republican journal after another
has come out and demanded his
withdrawal. The profound convic-
tions of the party on this subject
have been made so manifest that
finally Mr.. Quay, in spite of his te-
nacity of will and boosted invulnera-
bility to criticism, has been forced
can.
Two of Kind.
The departure of Quay from the
republican national committee was
made the more glorious by Dudley's
keeping him company. 1t IS a very
serious mistake to think that good
party management is only to be ex-
pected of men who are crooked in
character or conduct. There are
shrewd men and active men who are
also respectable men, and the
national committee has room for

The st. Louis Republic never waits to
be driven along the path of progress by
sharp competition, but keeps so far in the
lead that competition is an impossblity.
Its first bold and original departure was
the publication of its weekly in five
separate edltions-one for Missouri, one
for Illinois, one for Texas, one for Arkan-
sas and Kansas, and another for the rest
of the union. Next it made the Weekly
Republican a semi-weekly, issuing it
every Tuesday and Friday, in section OF
six pages each. Then it established a
special tariff department, edited by the
hon. w. l.. Wilson, one of the ablest of
the Democratic leaders in congress. Now,
it announces that each of these striking
and original features will continue perma.
nently, and, in addition to all this, that
two more pages will soon be added to one
Issue each week, so as to give subscribers
to the "TWice-a-W Week" Republican four
teen pages regularly every week for only
$l.00 year. Besides the special attrac-
tons, which no other paper in the coun-
try can offer, its general merits as a news
paper are unequaled. Sample copies
will be sent free to application.
