Savings Banks,
And Where to Deposit.

The Lamoille County S. wings
Bank & Trust Company of Hyde
Park, offers the following reasons
why it should receive a share OF
your patronage:
FIRST.---It is unquestiOnably
safe. It has a full paid-up capital
of $4,000. making, with the addi-
tional liability Of the stockholders,
a guaranty to depositors Of $780,
600. It's Directors, Fl. P. Stowe,
0. F. Gates, S. A. Fife, P. x. Gleed,
@. S. Page and III. M Mcfarland,
are men who have long been known
to the people of Lamoille County,
not only as successful business
men, but as men of extensive eX-
perience in loaning money. Under
this management the people know
that economy, conservatism, and
sound judgment will characterize
the institution. It makes no loans
where the security is not person
ally known to some one of the Di-
rectors, without a careful investi-
cation of the property loaned upon,
and depositors are cor Tally invited
to examine the loans Of the Bank,
and judge for themselves whether
their deposits are being judiciously
invested. Less than one-twenty-
third 1880 Of it's assets are in
vested outside of Lamoille County
and the adjoining towns of Lowell,
Hardwick, Craftsbury and Bakers
field, SO that depositors can at all
times see where their money is in
vested and KNOW 1T rs SAFE.

INSTITUTION, organized to long-tet for Saw

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The Irrigation Congress, now in session
at Salt Lake City, we deem one of the
most important bodies that has ever
assembled in the nation. So far as we
can CLEAN from the forwarded reports, it
would seem to be a notably representa-
tive body; one distinguished by intelli-
gence, by brainy men and earnest ones,
and that it is convocation that reflects
fairly and fully the sentiment of the far
West upon this all-important question of
the marriage of land and water is certain.
That the Congress will have an impor-
tant influence upon the officials of the
Federal Government who are to advise
the National Congress upon the irrigation
question is certain. That it viii go far
toward shaping Congressional action at
Washington, we do not doubt
There are six questions before the Salt
Lake body now, and the chief of these
are the two first: ''Should the arid lands
be given outright to the States and Terri
tories?" Or SHOULD they be granted to
the local sovereignties in trust only for a
specific purpose ?"
The next question is, one touching the
limitations of the grant, whatever it may
be, and whether it should embrace all
public land within the local bounds, or
the arid lands only. The fifth and sixth
questions consider obligations that the
Federal Government might impose in
the terms of its grant; and whether or
not the General Government should not
undertake the reclamation itself, and
make grants to actual settlers only.
All these questions proceed upon the
assumption that there is no longer any
question concerning the duty of the Gov
ernment to move actively in this matter
of reclamation. We look to the conyen-
ton to settle clearly and finally the very
few questions of policy that enter into
the subject, for what the convention adj
vises it is probable Congress will in the
main follow

PARIS on Wednesday night turned out
a bowling mob of thousands to demon
stratively protest against the production
of q Wagner opera in that city. 1t did
not in its coarseness represent the better
element it is true, but in its spirit un-

one of such unrelenting hostility and de-
termination 10 be righted by recovery of
lost provinces that it cannot be long be-
fore it viii provoke war with Germany.
These constant insults to the German
name, the coldness of the reception to
Emperor Williams mother in Paris, the
tone Of the French press, the nightly ora
tions of the Partisan street orators-all
these are serving to fever the public
blood and spur the French nation into
war with Germany. The latter protests
that she does not want to fight, but we
need not be surprised at any early day to
hear that at last the French have so wor-
ried the Germans that the insult and the
blow must follow.

WE have not the text of the decision of
the Deroit Court in the late Chinese case
before us. But it is known that it is op-
posed to the ruling of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and fit stands it viii go far to-
ward nullifying the Chinese Exclusion
Act. The Treasury Department holds
that where the law reads that the China
man taken coming into the country un-
lawfully shall he returned whence he
came, it means to the land of his nativity;
the land from which he came in the first
instance. The court holds that the prop
er Interpretation is, that the prisoner
must be returned to the country from
which he last came. Such Interpretation
will defeat the efforts of the revenue of
ficials to keep Chinese from crossing the
Dominion border into the United States
For they can cross, take the risk of cap
ture, and if seized and returned renew
the attempt, and with all the probabilities
of success in their favor. We believe that
the Secretary of the Treasury has prop
erly read the law, and that the court has
given it narrow and illiberal construc-
ton.

THE Government has wisely decided
upon policy that viii result in the dis
missal of all proceedings against the Itata
There exists now no Governmentin Chile
to complain to us against the Itata; we
cannot push the case without a complain
ing foreign witness under the neutrality
laws. The Itata belongs to the present
Government of Chile. That Government
is not asking us to confiscate the ship, or
to fine her. but rather to give her clear
ance and let her go. That is what it has
been decided to do, and wisely SO. The
whole Itata affair has not redounded to
our credit greatly, and the sooner it is
dropped out of sight the better.
