might manage their affairs when
they got too populous for town
government.
1t is to be noted, too. to the credit
of our state, that wehave withstood
the temptations and dangers so
frequently resulting from the over
whelming concentration of political
power in one party. We do not re-
quire the danger of defeat to insure
good government We have it be-
cause the people believe in it and will
have no other. We have had honest
elections and no legislative scandals.
We pay our debts, not from neces-
sity, but because we believe in pay
ing them. Besides the great war eX-
penseS, that were common to other
states. we paid our soldiers nearly
two million dollars, in addition to
their government pay; but yet the
state paid off its war obligations,
and has been out of debt for d dozen
years ormore.
believe that there is not a state
toward which the sentiment of loyal
ty and affection on the part of those
bred in the state who have sought
homes elsewhere is so strong and
universal as it is with Vermonters.
l have had opportunity to learn of
this in meeting so many Vermonters
who have settled in other sections of
the country. This feeling is shown
by the remarkable success ofVermont
associations in the different cities,
and in so many other ways that it
is certain there must be good ground
for this love for the state on the part
of her absent sons. They find on
comparing it with other sections
that they have left a home worth
remembering with affection.
If any of you are doubtful
whether you believe in Vermont or
not, would advise you to go away
for a year or two. If that does not
settle the question, cannot prescribe
for you.
Speaking for myself, hope to dis
charge to the best of my ability any
public duty that may devolve upon
me, and when that obliga ton ceases,
to return to spend what time 1 have
left in the good state where l was
born and have lived and worked,
and to which l owe all the good
that is in me, and all the good that
has come to me in life.

THE SECRET OF GOOD MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING.

The secret of the climbing of the
hunters is that they trust their feet
as much as their hands. To plant
their nailed shoe is all they ask in
any place. They go steadily but
slowly, and rest often, so as to avoid
climbing when exhausted or breath
less. A tired or winded man will
tumble, slip, and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh.
The apprentice in this particular
hunt found the greatest difficulty in
crossing a chaos. A chaos is a steep
slope covered with blocks of stone
ranging from a hundred pounds to
many tons. There are ugly holes,
big and little, between them. Their
edges are generally sharp; to the
rapid passer, as he looks down at
his feet, they appear, without ex-
ception, very sharp. In addition,
some of them are "wobblers. The
duffer passed several unpleasant
quarters of an hour in following the
hunter, excited by the proximity of
game, over these places, and will
always carry on his leg souvenir
of one of them July Scribner.

O..iacatiou of the Eye.

Samuel A. Avila, the Republican leader in the Eleventh ward in Brook lyn. recently had his left eye removed by a surgeon. says the New York Sun:
 Thirtyfve years ago, when in his nineteenth year. Mir. Avila was badly injured while he was at work in his fathers paint shop, a piece of broken nail having lodged in his eye. By the advice of Dr. Agnew he concluded not to have the piece of nail removed, and until last March. when he began to suffer with pains in the left side of his head. he experienced no trouble from it. The pains in his head became so acute that he consulted Dr. Matthew son. who informed him that he was suffering from the very rare disease of justification of the eye and that he would have to get 1t out The opera tion was successfully performed. Mir. Avila says that he never had better time in his life than during the hour he was under the influence of ether. The small piece of nail is still in the ball. as the ball is so hard that the iron cannot be removed from it.

The Truth Abou, w.xc..

The position of the tariff reformers in the matter of wages and competition from European pauper labor has been All along that tho greater producing power of American labor should remove ali fear of dangerous competition from Europe They have always claimed that wherever . true comparison Ia made between wages in America and in Europe, . comparison of the proportion of wages in every dollars worth of goods, American wages will almost in- variably be found lower than wages in Europa
 The tariff .reformers did not expect to see this fact admitted by the high taria cranks; but now the New York Tribune. tho most tari6- blinded of all protection journals, says:
 1t Is acknowledged by foreign manu- lecturers and railroad men who have visited this country and carefully ex- Amined affairs here that the higher ef- fcacy of labor secured by higher wagcs here to great extent counterbalAnces the difference in wages paid

So tho Mexican Judge Viewed tho Dls-
 play of Affection.

Baron Strauss said the American women were so DO )ular in Mexico that it intorfered with the wheels of justice in that republic. says the Detroit Sun.
 American women." said he, go about Mexico as they would in this country. while the Mexican women are caged up like birds. The >>nly way to make love to them is to stand of some hundred yards and stare.
 The pretty senorita sits in her open window, and yon can go and look at her. There is one chance in a hum drcd of getting an opportunity to speak to one while she is in church, but this is the only place. Last sum. mer a New York merchant and his beautiful daughter stopped few days in the little town where 1 was sojour h. ing. The young lady was one of the handsomest that l have ever seen light hair. eyes like bits of heaven's blue, classic form and all that was lovely. We'll. you can imagine what n stir she created among the Mexicans, who are held so away from the native women.
 The son of wealthy planter used to stand for hours opposite the window of this American girl. One day tho father went to the City of Mexico. leaving the daughter unattended for . few hours. The young lady walked from the hotel to the station and was followed by the Mexican admirer. Az she was nearly home the young fellow rushed up to her. and implanting . kiss upon her forehead. ran away for dear life
 When the father came home there was a httle excitement He had the young fellow arrested. and the next day he was brought before the judge. who gravely asked what the charge WAS.
 .Assaulting a woman spoke up the New Yorker.
 "'What did the prisoner dof'
 |" He ran up to my daughter on the street and kissed her.
 'Hc kissed this lovely young ladyp' asked the judge as he carefully scrutinized the fair American.
 "sYes. sir
 Well, who wouldn'tr remarked the judge, as he left tho court. And, would you believe it that was all the satistACtioa the New Yorker could gs9 in Nsxico."

A ser.nxe uarta.

A strange bird. which has attracted the attention of hundreds of people. has been on exhibition on the farm of John Rodabaugh, a farmer living near St. Mary's. Ohio. The bird resemblea an owl very much in form. has head shaped like heart the face of mon- key, snowy white fur adorning it's face. while the feathers are of beau tiful and delicate yellowish gray. with the tail of turkey. The bird was caught few weeks ago while tho family were returning home from church, and not until it had received ( load of shot did it allow itself to be taken captive. and then it's captor waa fearfullv lacerated in the fight that en- sued. It utters noise similar to that of the squeal of pig. and is fed wholly on small birds. which it takel into its beak alive, throwing out tho bones and feathers afterward.

One of Horr's Jokes,

R. C. Horr, the New York Tribune's tariff joker, Is at 1t again. In recent number of the Weekly Tribune he tries to show that our protective tariff causes foreigners to lower their prices. and as m illustra tion of this he says: ~We have been for years making no tin plate in the United States. X protective tariff was placed on foreign tin plate by the Mckinley bill, and our business men are preparing to make American tin plato. If my doctrine is true. the following will bc tho result: Tin plato will be pro- duced in America in a few months after our factories arc set in motion, better in quality and cheaper in price than during tho past five years, when we obtained All our supplies from abroad If such shall be the result, will not that prove tho wisdom of that increase of duty? Do not misunderstood me! do not say that tin plate will not then also bc cheaper abroad than 1t is now That will of course be the case. But we hAvo been waiting for . fall in price for for eign tin plate (which is mostly iron or xteell similar to the reduction that has taken place In Iron and steel goods which ara madc in this country, It has not come
 Nov whom Mir Horr says this he is either showing his ignorance of the subject or else he Is makinga wiilful mistatement If he had consulted the Treasury reports he would have found that the plate has declined in price very greatly during tho past eighteen years.
 The tin plate imported In 1873 was in- voiced at 7.6s cents par pound; in 1876, At 5. Is; in 1879. at ! 7s; in 1882, At 3. 76; in 1885, At 3.26 The average price for tho i've years i8s6-'9O was cents For the tiscal year 1851. however. the import price was ,. 60 cents per pound, an increase due 10 tho enormous demand created by tho Mckinley law. If Mir. Horr will examine present English market reports he will 6nd that tho grade of tin plate known As sI Bessemer steel. coke finish. tho kind most in use, Is now sell ing At exactly 3 cents pound
 This ali means that tin plate has fallen to considerably less than half the prtce tt commanded in 1873 This fact the tari6 joker could easily have veri- ned by merely examining tho Govern mont roports
 But the joker is true to his character as . wag. After making tho wiliful mistAtcment just exposed, he winds up his ticle by saying; .Faisehoods have had thcir day. The supremacy of truth ts at hand
 Whsrs win Horr stand under that -supremacyfs

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The miners
of the Coal Creek district Friday night took
the law into their own hands. The stockade
at the Tennessee Mining company's plant
was burned, the magazine blown up, the
convcts turned loose, given citizens
clothes and told to leave the country.
Convicts to the number Of 800 men were
released. Most of them are reported to
have gone toward the Kentucky line.
1t has been nscsrtained that large numbers
OF suits Of citizens clothes were purchased
several days ago, and 1t is now certain they
were for the use OF the discharged convicts,
whose escape would be facilitated by dis
carding their striped clothes The greatest
excitement prevails in the surrounding coun-
try, owing to the convicts being at liberty
in such large numbers and the further
trouble that is anticipated in any effort that
may be made to enforce the penitentiary
convict lease laws. The guards at the stock
ado made no resistance, feeling that it was
useless. 1t is believed here that no lives
were lost
