Death of Luther o. Greene.

The ranks Of Vermont newspaper men
suffer sad bereavement, and the state loses
an official of rare ability and efficiency, in
the death or Hon. Luther O. Greene of
Woodstock, which took place at his home
in that place last Friday night. The cause
severe attack of cholera morbus. Mr..
Greene was native of ST. Albans, born
in July, lS35. He learned his trade as a
printer in the st. Adams Messenger office
and in due time became the foreman of the
work roOm. In 1857 he came to Wood
stock as joint owner with William p. Da-
Wis of the Vermont Temperance Standard
published in that place. The new propri-
etors changed the name of the paper to the
Vermont Standard. and, while still main
tanning its temperance principles, made it
paper of local news, politics and general
affairs. Three years later Mr.. Davis re-
tired, leaving Mr.. Greene its sole editor and
proprietor, and such he remained to the
time of his death. He was one of the few
genuine newspaper men of the state, bred
to the profession from his youth, following
it with high aims, and making his first
thought in the conduct of his paper the
welfare of the constituency which he serv-
ed. His death, following so soon upon
that of c. NJ. Stone of the St. Johnsbury
Caledonian, leaves a feeling of sorrow-al-
most of desolation-on the part of his fel-
lows who remain, which can scarcely be eff
faced. He was an active member of the
Vermont Press association, and became its
president in 1889. In the local affairs of
Woodstock his life had been an active and
helpful one, and in enterprises like the
bnilding of the Woodstock railroad and the
establishment of a system of public water
works he had borne his full share of COM
munity burdens. He was postmaster of
Woodstock for two terms, from 1861, and

The En,ct of thc Nrw Tnrin.

Senators Morrill, of Vermont ana Nc
Pherson of New Jersey, who have recently
been on a tour of investigation of the effect
of the new tariff along the Canadian bor-
der, acting as a subcommittee of the
United States Senate committee on finance,
have completed their investigation, and
Senator Morrill, was in Brattleboro Tuesday
night on the way to his Vermont home.
In conversation while in Brattleboro the
Senator stated that this investigation had
proved the effect of the new tariff law to
be everywhere good for United States in
terests Starting from Boston visits were
paid to Portland, Calais and Eastport,
Maine, and the route lay thence to New
port and st. Albans, this state, Odgens-
burg, Oswego and Buffalo, y. Y, Cleveland
and Toledo, Ohio. and as far west as De
troit. Investigation showed that the in
creased tariff had caused no rise in prices
to American consumers, the effect being,
simply, that the Canadians were obliged to
sell their products for price just so much
less than the amount of the tariff increase.
Many staple articles. like dry goods, and
cotton cloth especially, were never as cheap
as now United States residents are al
most uniformly satisfied and pleased with
the operation of the new law. Nearly the
only exception was at Oswego, where the
increase of the tariff on barley. from IL to
30 cents bushel has interfered with in
dustries which had been established there.
At Eastport Maine. American lumber
dealers. who own lumber forests in Canada.
We're. in way, put betwiXt two fires in
their opinions on the subject, but almost
without exception American residents along
the Canadian frontier recognized the bene-
fits conferred by the new law on the trade
and industries of the country as a whole.
1t is a curious and typical fact that while
the new tariff reduces the rate on white
pine lumber by II thousand, United
States consumers gain nothing whatever
by this, as the Canadian dealers promptly
advanced their price by exactly the amount
of the tariff increase. There is no doubt
that another season, assured by this years
experience of receiving the benefit of our
own markets, American farmers along the
border will raise many products more large
ly than before for years.
When the subcommittee makes up its
report to Congress next winter. it will be
only natural that Senator Mcpherson should
try to stand by the Democratic view of the
tariff, but it will be hard in the end to
make theory hold its own against solid
business facts

went away unable to gain entrance as the
great hall contained. Ex-Gov. Bracket
presided Mr. Aliens speech evidently
made the most favorable impression posi-
BILE on his hearers, and he was repeatedly
given tumutuous applause. Lieut.-Gov.
Halle makes no pretence to being public
orator, but he nevertheless made one of the
most effective speeches of the evening.
The climax of the occasion was reached
when Hon. w. w. Grape, the defeated
contestant for the nomination, was intro
duccd and made a speech indicating his
cordial support of the ticket, thus assuring
complete harmony in the party ranks.
Among the other speakers were Congress
man Allen, eX-Congrcssman Greenhalge,
Henry Cabot Lodge and Senator Hoar.
No state canvass in Massachusetts, in recent
years has had such a send-off, and it is ev-
ident that young Gov. Russell and his
friends have got to make a fight all along
the line if they are to keep their laurels.

A curious sight was presented in Paris
on two evenings last week of the grand OPP
era house in that city surrounded and pro
tected by a Gordon of police while a per-
formance of Wagner's "Lohengrin'' was 60
ing on inside. The only trouble or objec-
tion was that the opera was written by a
German composer, and the rabble We're
determined that it should not be produc-
ed. On the two evenings $50 arrests were
made, and several leaders in the disturb
ance were sentenced to terms of impris-
onment. 1t is believed that this decisive
action will strengthen the public respect
in France for the government of the re-
public, and show that it is not to be in
timidated by popular clamor, or lightly de-
fed.

1t is evident that the Massachusetts Re
pubicans have entered upon canvass OF
unusual spirit and determination. At the
time of his nomination, Mr.. Allen, the
Republican candidate, promised to devote
his time and energy to the canvass, and
that promise he is faithfully keeping. Last
Saturday he spoke three times in Boston
to as many different organizations, among
them the Massachusetts club, which is
made up of the leading, earnest, active
young men of the party, who will fight
state and national issues on the highest
grounds. Tuesday evening there was such
crowded and enthusiastic ratification
meeting held in Music hall as has rarely
been seen in the city. Every foot of space
on the floor and in the galleries was crowd
ed, and it is estimated that as many people

The hearing in the great Searles-Hopkins

his wife, seeks with other heirs to break
the will of Mrs. Mark Hopkins-Searles, by

The Alarming Shortage in the worlds
Food supply,


After careful investigation of the
worlds food supply for the coming year,
the American Agriculturist makes an esti-
mate of the total shortage of the grain
crop which is astounding, and which very
largely exceeds any estimate before made.
1t declares that the half has not been told
about the European shortage in bread
stuffs, which not even a bountiful crop this
year would have relieved. Accepting the
largest estimates of production, both at
home and abroad, and even assuming that
the United States and Canada can export
22j, 900, 900 bushels, the Agriculturist still
finds deficit in the worlds food supply of
at least 200, 100000 bushels of wheat and
rye, with a possibility of a shortage twice
as great Added to this is the almost to-
tai failure of the potato crop i'm Ireland
and serious curtailment in the yield of
potatoes on the continent. Even with the
utmost economy of distribution and an un-
heard-of consumption of American corn
in place of other grains, grave distress is
before the masses of Europe. In spite of
the efforts of the Russian government to put
on bold front and cover up the facts, the
failure of the rye crop in Russia the main
food of the peasantry, has caused appalling
destitution. In some districts many fami-
lies have not cooked meal since Easter,
and the worst suffering is yet to come.
Our August exports of wheat were of
unprecedented volume, and for the first
time in years bran and mddlings are going
abroad at this season. The Agriculturist
accepts these circumstances as the strong
est possible reason for believing that prices
of wheat are today unnaturally low. 1t
looks for sharp advance in cereals as soon
as the extent of the worlds shortage is
realized. and it believes that every bushel
of high grade wheat is today worth fully
81 on the farm where grown.

The Unhappy New York Democracy.
Lieutenant Governor Jones of New
York, who wanted to be governor, and
whom both the Hill and Cleveland parties
played with and then threw over, is out
with a square bolt at the Democratic state
ticket. In declaration over his own name
he declares that
Not only have the interests of the people been
sacrificed but the existence Of the Democratic
party has been ieopardized. for behind the nomi-
nations, and in absolute control of the party. are
men whose every sentiment Of patriotism is sub
iect either to their personal ambition their self
ish greed, and the administration Of public affairs
is shaped to perpetuate their rule. So complete is
the power of these men, and 50 dictatorial have
they become, that members of the party are but
serfs so far as political action is concerned Con
tinued suhsrryience but makes the condition too
degrading to be quietly borne 10y American cti-
zeus There is but one way to dislodge these
usurpers. The temporary defeat of the party will
be- harmless compared with the effects Of their
control"
In conclusion Mr.. Jones promises to
fight the election of the Democratic nOmi-
nees by every means in his power. The
county democracy. too. are in arms over the
triumph of Tammany and the exclusion of
their delegates for the state convention.
Taken all in all, with a clear, strong, pop
ular young man like Fassett opposed to a
money bag like Flower and the political
element which he represents, this year $
canvass in New York is one to watch with
interest

was again appointed to that place in 1871.
Since 1883 he had been state inspector
of finance, and had filled that office with
rare faithfuIness and ability. He studied
diligently to perfect himself in the knowl-
edge of his duties, and the interests which
were given to his special charge in this Of
flee were watched over with panstaking
fidelity. As a man and friend Mr.
Greene was the embodiment of dignity,
courtesy and kindliness, and few men in
the state have been held in more sincere
love and respect in an extended circle of
acquaintance.
Mr.. Greene's funeral took place at his
Woodstock home on Monday afternoon,
when large number of state officials, rel
atives, including his parents from St. Al
bans, and other friends and citizens, were
in attendance. He leaves an invalid wife,
daughter, and a son who is business
man in New York.

Balmaceda KnIs HIMSELF.

The surprising news was published on
Monday OF the death by his own hand of
eX-President Balnaceda OF the republic of
Chilli, who was deposed by the recent revo-
luton in that country. He shot himself
through the temple at o'clock Saturday
morning, at his room at the Argentine le-
cation, Santiago, where he had taken ref
uge and had been secreted for two weeks,
all his efforts to get out of the country hay
ing proved futile. The dead man left two
letters of explanation and self-defence, one
addressed to his mother, and one to the
correspondent at Santiago of the New
York Herald, who has shown remarkable
enterprise in obtaining and sending to his
paper information in regard TO the progress
of Chilian affairs. The Herald, in fact,
printed a long account of the suicide as an
exclusive" in its Sunday edition.
Balmaceda was - years old. He came
of an ancient and wealthy Chilian family.
When elected to the presidency OF the re-
public he was deemed a patriot, as well as
a man of brilliant ability, but the posses
sion Of power seemed to upset his lifelong
principles, and there is small doubt that he
meant at the end of his term to forcibly
prolong his rule, and make himself the die
tator of the republic

The President as "A Traveller.
from Harper's Weekly.1

Those who say that it is not the Presi-
dents business to travel about the country
are mistaken, because they mean that there
is some kind of impropriety in the journey.
In one sense it is nobodys business, ex-
cept drummers', to go upon the road But
it is certainly business of the President
to promote public good feeling, and, as the
chief representative of the government, to
appear on public occasions of patriotic in
terest. Whatever he can do personally to
cultivate friendly relations between all
parts of the country, and, under the cir
cumstances, especially in the Southern
states, is well done. President Harrisons
tour last spring was an excellent public
service. The tact of his speeches was re-
markable, and undoubtedly promoted kind
ly feeling. He would be fortunate man
if no other objection could be made to his
administration than that he makes little
tours and good speeches.

cutting is well advanced and the crop is a
fine one. The potato rot appears to have

a curious fact that crops at Stratford, ".

and significant declaration, called out by
the action of Russia in recently sending
troop ships through the straits:
1T is advisable that the whole world should

to imagine that Great Britain will under any cir
cumstances, suffer Russia to obtain command of
the DaIdanelles. As long Turkey effectually
guards the straits, England will not interfere but
Immediately the government of the sultan, in a
fit of dity-peversity or bewilderment, shows
itself incapable of performing that imperative
duty, England viii assuredly not shrink from
having recourse TO eXpedents for meeting the
difficulty
The reason for England's attitude is
plain. BY the treaty of Paris, concluded
in 1886, the five great powers agreed that
no foreign war vessels should be allowed
to pass through the Dardanelles. BY this
agreement Russia's one desire-to obtain
a foothold at ConstantinOple-is held in
check. Were that agreement broken Rus
sia would at once menace England's route
to India and her possessions i'm that con-
try, say nothing of other complications
that would be involved. An excited feel
ing is apparent in Germany, France and
Italy, and the next move on the European
chess board will be watched with interest

The Taxpayers Protective association
ought to be strengthened and energized.
In this movement there is the nucleus
Of much good to the people OF this city
and county. The attempt OF the board
of supervisors to browbeat Mr.. Edgar
Moore, the expert, should not be al
lowed to stop the investigation. 1t
should rather stimulate our citizens to
earnest and united labor. What has
become OF the prodigious sums raised by
taxation in this county? Will anybody
pretend that we have either roads or
bridges, or anything to show for these
prodigal outlays? Where have all these
imperial sums gone? And echo answers,
"where?" An admission of gross irreg-
ularity in the drawing of warrants has
been made by the board. Keep up the
good work and make it effective.
