His Senator Edmunds'7 withdrawal
will be severe loss to his party and the
country, for he has been esteemed one of
the ablest and most upright statesman
in the federal Senate.-[ Worcester Spy.
He will be greatly missed in the Sen
ate, but retirement in the case of man
with his talents and temperament does
not mean ideness-much less Obscura-

still, we may hope, for years to come,
have the benefit of his counsels.-T Hart

Senator Edmunds' resignation is an un-

A FINAL EEEORT.

AS will be seen from the report of the
Middlebury board of trades meeting on
Wednesday evening, printed in another
column, the board has determined to
make one more effort to get itself i'm shape
for doing business. If that can't be ac-
complished then those who have tried to
put life into it will give it up as bad job.
Now two things should be borne in
mind by every citizen. One is, that Mid
dlebury will not have manufactures un-
less some attempt is made to that end {;
another is, that persistent work must be
done, such work as can best be put into
the hands of board of trade. Every
scrub of place in this section of the
country is advertising itself and seeking
in one way and another to secure manu-
factures, and if we want them we must
hustle.
1t is to be hoped that every man in the
village will become a member of the
board, that he will attend the meeting on
the evening of the 18th INST, that he will
do faithfully the part then assigned to
him, and, above all, that he will keep his
courage up, even if there are reasons for
Encouragement. Especially desirable
will be the support and az tive partcipa-
ton in the boards meetings of those
gentlemen who have money, energy and
first-class business capacity. The village
contains number of them, and their as
sistance is necessary to the success of the
move.
The above is written on the supposi-
ton that the people of the village, or a
majority of them at any rate, desire the
establishment of manufactures here.
The notion that that is the case prevails.
But if it not a correct notion, then that
should lie found out, in order that the
board of trade may 90 out of existence.
Nothing will come of half-hearted, weak
Unsupported spurts, and if the majority
of the principal citizens wont go into the
thing with spirit, then the board might
as well turn up its toes now as later.

we want Commissioner Valentines
plan was just the opposite-to belittle
and cheaper the State and everything in
it, and the result was that the State ac-
qured a bad reputation not only with the
world at large but with its own people.
The practical outcome of Mr.. Valentines
commissionership was the spreading
among Vermonters of feeling that their
State had seen it's best days and the dis
semination throughout the Union of the
idea that the most of our territory had
gone back into its original widness. He
did settle a few Swedes here, it is true,
but the following dispatch from Rutland
to the New York World of Tuesday last
does not indicate that he thereby large
ly benefited either the Swedes or the
State:
The Rev. Niles Nillson, of the Swedish
Lutheran church, has received letter
from one of the settlers in the Swedish
colony at Norton Mills, Essex county,
in the forests of northern Vermont com
planning bitterly OF the hardships the
tenants have endured.
Eleven of the Scandinavians have
left the colony, one walking seventy
miles to Rutland, where he is now en-
ployed in the marble quarries. Only
seven families are left and they are re-
ported in a destitute condition. An
earnest plea is made for aid that the
colonists may be able to leave the forests.

1t turns out that the row Italy set out
to raise last week all came from bump
tious prime minister who was trying to
make himself solid with the lower classes
of the country. Italy itself doesn't
banker for war and the minister finds it
necessary to back down somewhat from
his high position. 1t is also learned that
only two of the Sicilians killed in the
New Orleans prison were subjects of
King Humbert and both were fugitives
from Justice. One was a professional
robber and cutthroat from Messina and
the other murderer who escaped from
Italy in company with the outlaw Espo-

THAT EXTRA SESSION.

The talk about an extra session OF the
legislature is not so loud as it was week
ago, and the prospect now is that
none will be held. The two objects to
be attained by calling the legislature
together were: First, to accept and get
hold of the States share of the direct tax,
and, second, to cede to the government
a site for the federal building at St. AL
bans.
But it is not so clear as it might be that
Vermont will profit to an alarming ex-
tent from the direct tax. 1t has been re-
collected that the United States has a
large claim against the State, and it is
the opinion of those who know that the
government wont pay cent of the tax
back to us till the old claim is settled up.
Indeed, it was only last week that Indi-
ana's claim for her share of the tax was
rejected on this same ground.
1t will be remembered that in the fall
of 1886, during the session of the legisla-
ture, letter written by the third auditor
of the treasury to the secretary of the
treasury was published, in which it was
stated that Vermont owed the general
government the sum of S543, $50 for arms
and equipments furnished the State soon
after the st. Albans raid, in 1864, when
II regiments were organized to protect
the northern frontier. The subject was
talked about considerably in 1886, but
when Gov. Ormsbee retired from office,
in the fall of 1883, it had not been straight
ened out, nor has it yet been settled so
far as we can learn. A bill authorizing
the appointment of commission to set
tie it was introduced in the national
House of Representatives, but we cannot
find that it ever became law.
1t would seem to be the part of wisdom
for the State to let the direct tax matter
alone till this claim is squared up in some
way, and in the meantime discussion as
to what shall be done with the tax may
safely be suspended.

On THE RIGHT TRACK.

As has been announced, the State board
of agriculture will devote a balance of
funds remaining in its hands 10 adyer-
tising the State. 1t is proposed to write
up the State as whole and each county,
saying all that can truthfully be said of
the advantages we have to offer to man
ufacturers, farmers and others, and to
append to this list of farms, water
powers, factories and other like property
that is for sale. The whole will make
an eight-page document the size of an
ordinary newspaper. About $4,000
copies Will be printed, and they will be
distributed for the most part outside the
State, and particularly in the West.
1t seems to US that the board have
struck the right plan. The effect of their
agitation will be to impress upon the
outside world that we have something
that is worth having, and that Is what

SENATOR EOMUNDS' RETIREMENT,

Senator Edmunds' letter to Gov. Page,
resigning the senatorship, together with
Gov. Pages reply thereto, are printed in
another column. 1t has been known for
some time by the intimate friends of the
Senator that he meditated such a step,
but the announcement of the fact was
surprise to the people of the State gen.
orally and TO the whole country as well.
The chief reason given is the i'll health
of his daughter, but it is more than prob
able that the true one is that Mr.. Ed
munds is tired of public life. He has
been in the Senate since the 9Th of April,
1866. During a.. these years he has been
hard-working, conscientious servant of
the people. and he probably feels that he
is entitled TO IA rest.
The men who desire to succeed him
will unquestionably proceed at once to
get in their work with the governor,
whose duty it becomes to fill the vacancy
by appointment. 1t is to be hoped, and
it is fair to presume, that he will act de-
liberately and carefully. The State has
few citizens capable of making good the
loss, and the very best one of them all
should be chosen. That Mr.. Page will
take an Independent course, and that he
will not follow anybody's dictation, is
pretty certain.

Hon. John w. Stewart of this town in
Boston on Wednesday and learned from
him that he would be a candidate for

Wives have rights which husbands are

Wives have rights which husbands are
bound to respect, if the decision of a
Chicago Judge is good law. The decision
grew out of the suit of Mary F. Williams
against her husband, Aaron Williams,
for $4,000 damages for slander. They
were married in 1888, but, living unhap-
PLY, separated after few months, the
wife being given some property to live
upon, and she in turn released all claims
on Williams. After the separation, how
ever, Mrs. Williams said her husband
had circulated scandalous stories about
her. and on these statements she began
her SANDER suit. The judge says she can
maintain it.
