were stationed along the frontier and at
other important points. Some of the reg

never been recompensed therefor by

A QUEER story comes from Kentucky.
Two brothers drew lots TO decide which
should marry young lady, who was already
betrothed to man named Green. The
brothers frightened the horse which the
young lady was driving on lonely road.
She was thrown out and both legs were
broken Then the brothers took her to a
cabin and attempted to set her legs She
was kept chained to the wall, and finally
died, refusing TO marry either of the broth
ers. When the facts came out, her brother
and lover shot the murderers to death.
The young lady was the daughter OF a
prominent citizen OF Richmond Va.

SOME of the Boston papers are trihe
mixed in their discussion of Vermont's
relations to the general government in
respect of the latter's alleged claim for
arms furnished, which is now made an
offset TO the states share of the direct
tax refunded. The Journal and the
Record both treat the claim as accruing
from arms furnished the state during
the Fenian invasion, several years after
the end of the civil war, whereas the
arms were furnished after the ST. Adams
raid, during the latter part of the Re-
bellion. The state organized and Off
cered several regiments of militia, in
Guiding a regiment of cavalry, for the
defense of the borders of the state.

The decrease in receipts at the
custom-houses of the country ought to
be gratifying to protectionists. 1t in-
dicates that the high tariff is discour-
aging importations Of protected articles,
and the justiiable inference is that
those articles are being manufactured
more extensively at home. The total
OF imports is increasing, but this in
crease is almost entirely due to the i'm
portation of articles on the free list, or
which we do not produce in large GUAM.
titles as yet. Some of the democratic
organs are fearful lest the revenue will
not equal the appropriations, but if
that condition of things comes to pass
they are the last persons in the world
who should be troubled about it. Will
not the good democratic doctrine of
reducing the surplus be practiced?
But the republican method of reducing
the surplus has one merit with which
democrats have little sympathy: it pro-
tects home industries. The democratic
method would permit large foreign i'm
portations with duties so low that the
total revenue would be reduced. The
distinction is important.

SENATOR MoRRILL's idea of the best
method of restricting immigration is to
compel every immigrant to show a GER
tificate from one of our consuls before
allowing him to land. OF all the ways
that have been suggested this seems to
be the most practicable. The consuls
could not be employed in a more USE
full manner, and they are sufficiently
numerous to give immigrants who
would make desirable citizens the OPP
portunity to prove their fitness for
American citizenship. Give the con-
suls full authority to accept or reject
applicants, and then allow no immi-
grants to land who cannot show GER
tiicate. The steamship companies
would be obliged to take back those
who were not allowed to land, and that

WEDNESDAY, MAY 81, 1891.

THE success of the United States in
material development is the most illus
trious of modern times. The American
nation has not only successfully borne
and suppressed the most gigantic and
expensive war of all history, but imme-
diately afterward disbanded its army,
found employment for all its soldiers
and marines, paid off most of its debt,
given labor and homes to all the unem-
ployed of Europe as fast as they could
arrive within its territory, and still by a
system of taxation so indirect as not to
be perceived, much less felt. Because
it is my deliberate judgment that the
prosperity of America is mainly due to
its system of protective laws, urge that
Germany has now reached that point
where it is necessary to initiate the tariff
system of the United States.-BiS-

THE great strike of Belgian working

was peculiar in that it was for a politi-

strike for revision of the constitution
and especially for universal suffrage.

The grave of every soldier resting
his last rest in Vermont soil should find
here some hand to strew it with flowers
on Memorial day, and to breathe above
it word of grateful remembrance. A
formal and organized service, martial
parades, words of orator or strains of
music are not inseparable from a pa
triotic observance of the day and its
tender memorial. Where Grand Army
post can not include a sleeping warrior
within the circle of its ministrations.
let the school children under the direc-
ton of the teacher, let any individual
or association of individuals, assume
the sacred duty and see to it that the
sun goes not down on the grave of any
soldier above which the fragrance of
commemorative garlands has not risen.
With the flight of time, with yearly repe-
tition, the obligation of living genera
tions may be lightly borne, the day lose
its peculiar significance. Against all
this there should be a resolute and pa
triotic contention. Its annual recur-
renee should find the elder ones, those
who lived Gin the grand and awful
times of the civil war, still cherishing
with mellowed tenderness and deep
ened reverence the memory of the dead
heroes, and enjoining upon the genera
tons born since the great surrender at
Appomattox the duty of honoring the
men who saved the Nation and affec-
tionately cherishing their memory, even
