1t is fortunate for the reputation of
Kansas and its credit abroad that the
Farmers Alliance is in control ONLY of
the House. The Senate is almost solidly
and has already held a eau
Gus and declared its purpose to reject the
wild financial schemes which have been
rushed through the House. If it were
not for the Senate, this session of the
Kansas Legislature would probably wit
ness the enactment of mOrelunacies than
were ever dreamed of outside of Bedlam.
The census discloses the fact that, at
the present time, only q per cent. of the
population Of Arkansas is cOlored. This
shows that race outrages in that State
lack even the poor excuse that they are
an incident to a necessary effort to keep
political affairs in the hands of the
whites. Ontnumbering the negroes
three to one, if the whites of Arkansas
cannot retain political control without
resorting to, fraud and violence, they
must be made of very poor stuff.
And it came to pass in the days of
Benjamin and David and Grover that
there were many frauds in the lands.
And, 10! the installment bond schemes
were the greatest frauds of all. And
they did rake in the simOleans. And il
came to pass that when the people had
cut their eye teeth, and it had been
spoiled and had exchanged their hard
earned sheekeis for song and dance and
the shadow Of it, the people were amazed
and We're very wroth, and did say one to
another: Would that We were not only
almost but altogether like unto us ex.
cept these bonds. And they went Out
and kicked themselves sore Inswdnc,

The bill appropriating 100000 t.
begin the construction of a four-com
pany cavalry cost at or near Essex juno
ton, or at SwantOn Junction, passed the
United States Senate on the 18th of Feb
ruary. The bill also authorizes the Sec
rotary of War to accept, free of cost t
the United States, tho donation of
tract of not less than 300 acres of land a
or near either of these points, and Il
construct thereon the necessary build
ings with appurtenances of the post.

The direct tax bill has passed the
House of Representatives, by a vote of
172 to 1Ol. Mr.. Grout voted yea, Mr..
Stewart nay. The bill had previously
passed the Senate, and its purpose is to
return to the States which paid their
direct tax assessed against them by the
national government at the outbreak of
the war the amounts they paid. Many of
the States did not pay their tax and this
leaves very unequal condition OF
national taxation. Vermont will receive
under the law about one hundred and
seventy-nine thousand dollars, we believe.

written by the marquis of Lorne, ap-
peared to-day. Among other things the
marquis says: "The annexationist scare
is useful lesson, bringing home to our
mind the fact that the colonies are prac-
tically independent nations. This is a
wholesome thing for the public to be re-
minded Of No comparison is possible
between the colonies and Ireland. The

Perhaps you think it is a compar-
atively easy thing to produce a suit
of Clothes that will be attractive to
everybody? Nothing could be
further from the truth. 1t has been
remarked that since the world be-
gan there were never two noses
just exactly alike. There is just as
much difference in taste as there is
in noses. 1t is my business to dis
cover in what direction the tide of
popular preference, as far as Cloth
ing and Gents Furnishings is flow
ing. Then, and then only, can
hope to be in a position to offer
something that is certain to attract
all hands. l continually have my
finger on the pulse of popular taste.
Of course, in making up my Spring
stock, | shall not have the pleasure
of consulting you personally. And
you will admit that | have been
successful in anticipating your de-
sires. After having examined my
stock you will not think it neces-
sary to go to the city for what you
want in my line of goods.

The New Highway Law.

In reply to many inquiries in regard to
the law relating to highways we publish
the sections which bear particularly on
the question in order that people may
vote Understandings.
SEC. l. For keeping in repair high
ways and bridges the Selectmen of each
town shall annually, within tea days
after the completion of the annual grand
list, assess tax of not less than fifteen
cents on the dollar of the grand list of
the town, to be collected in money, at
such time as the town at its annual
meeting shall vote. If, however, the
town votes to have snch tax paid in la
Dor it shall not be less than twenty cents
on the dollar of the grand list; but any
taxpayer shall have the right to pay his
said tax in money and if paid in money
one-fourth thereof shall be deducted.
So. When town votes to raise high
way tax in labor the Selectmen shall di-
vide the town into a number of highway
districts convenient for repairing high
ways, and may from time to time altar
the same; and each surveyor of his dis
trict shall superintend the expe diture
of the tax, and take care of, and keep in
repair at all times, the highways in his
district.
So. The Selectmen shall present to
the annual town meeting for its approval
candidates for surveyors of highways
when labor tax is voted; and the sur
veyors elected at such meetings shall
hold office for one year from the 18th
day OF May succeeding their election.

Vermont Tobacco Crop.

Tobacco is quite crop through the
Connecticut River Valley up as far north
in Vermont as Bellows Falls and Wind
sOr. The dealers are now purchasing
through agents and are on the alert to
secure such crops as can be gathe4 d at
the prices that accord with their ews.
In a recent trip through several Of the
tobacco towns in Vermont and Eastern
Massachusetts, dealer reports that he
found good many parties that are dis
them up, while others, with more or less
of sweat leaf, are very anxious to sell
in the bundle. There are some lots that
are very badly sweat, and these sell at
nominal prices. The crops remaining
unsold are becoming more scarce. That
the tobacco remaining unsold in Yer
mont is all wanted at current prices there
is but little doubt.

Rutland is in great muddle over the
overseer of the poor question. Whether
the law passed by the last Legislature
made that officer elective by the people
or an appointment by the selectmen.
She several lawyers and ex-judges have
given learned written opinions on the
Subject and the court is evenly divided.
Cali the Supreme Court together to in.
terpret the law; possibly perpetual
session of that court, to tell the people
what the Legislature did mean would be
a good thing. 1t is certain many of the
enactmeots were made without much
consideration on the part of the law
makers.-COr. POultney Journal.

Hon. VIM. Mckinley struck the key
note of the existing question when he
sud: "The Democratic victorJ at the
polls last November has had still fur
ther uses. 1t has established beyond
dispute or controversy the partnership
between the Democratic free trade lead
ers of the United States and the states
men and ruling classes of Great Britain.
1t is powerful alliance resolute and
aggressive combination. If you have
any doubt of it beg you will read the
English press and the Democratic press
of the United States just before and since
the elections, and you will be convinced
that they are fighting in the same unpat-
riOtic cause, engaged in the same cru
sadie against our industries. They re-
jOice together over the same victory.
Theirs is joint warfare against Ameri-
can labor and American wages, plot
against the industrial life of the Nation,
a blow at the American commonwealth"

Vermont,s Summer Inaustry,

The Central Vermont railroad officials
are preparing for the business of the
coming summer, arranging rates, time
tables, etc, and in short time proposes
to begin getting out their various kinds
of advertising matter. Among other
pamphlets that are distributed by the
passenger department is one containing
list of all the hotels in the State, their
distance from railroad stations, the
number of guests they will accommo-
date, and the rate per day or week.
They have also few private boarding
houses on the list, and would be glad Of
more, could the proprietors be brought
to realization of the great advantage
this publication would be to them. The
General Passenger Depal tment of the
Central Vermont railroad sends thous-
ands of these books all over the country
and all that is required of any person In
Vermont who wishes to advertise that
he or she will take summer boarders is
to send the statement of where their
house is located, distance from railroad
station, number of bOarders desired, and
rate per day or week. This information
will be put in the pamphlet mentioned
free OF all expense to the boarding house
keeper.
Here is offered one Of the finest oppor-
tunities for free advertising that was
ever given, and it seems strange that the
people of Vermont do not awake to re-
alizing sense of this fact. The railroads
in New Hampshire pursue similar
course, and the people so realize what a
bonanza it is, that the book IS crowded
with names of boarding houses. The re-
suit is that the money left in New Hamp-
shire every year by the summer boarders
is far in excess Of the entire value of the
agricultural value of the State. In Yer
mont the people seem apathetic, and, de-
spite the fact that her mountains and
valleys far surpass those of New Hamp-
shire, the great money returns they
could be made to yield are overlooked
because the people do not understand
the way they are looked upon by the
people Of the cities. An earnest appeal
is now made TO every one willing TO take
one or more boarders for the summer 10
