A DYING CAUSE.
Even the Rapid old Golden Club is Going
to Pieces

to Pieces
And now we learn that the Golden club
has given mp its annual dinner this year.
No reasons are given, but of course there
are reasons. A banquet is generally IN Tins
of rejoicing, and Golden club banquet in
1891 when Free Trade is in disgrace the
world over would be rather misnomer.
But with the announcement that the ban
auet was abandoned, comes the news that
the work Of educating uncivilized coun-
tries like the United States is still to 70
on. Through th1ir agents in this country
pamphlets on the evils Of protection will
continue to be spread over the west One
more effort will be made to influence a
"robbed and tax burdened' people to
adopt the policy of Golden and Bright
then they will have the banquet. But
will they have it?

MACOUEARY AND BRIGGS.

Rev. Howard MacQueary, the EpiscO-
pal clergyma of Canton, o., who was
convicted of heresy last spring on ac-
count of his views regarding the incar-
nation and resurrection of Christ, has
finally renowned the ministry of that
church and will take charge of Univer-
salst church at Saginaw, Mich. Mr..
MacQueary has done the decent and the
wise thing-decent, because no man
holding such views as his on vital points
has any business in the Episcopal min
istry, where he can accomplish nothing
for good and may do much for evil, and
wise because he would have had to 90
sooner or later, no matter whether he
wanted to or not. y man might as well
admit doubts as To the existence and
success of American tin plate and expect
to be the candidate for high baiilf on
the Republican ticket in Addison county
next year as to try to stay IN the Episco-
pal ministry and teach MacQueary doe
trines.
Union Theological seminary of New
York city has given out that it will
stand or fall with DR.. Briggs, whose
teachings are criticized by the stricter
sect of the Presbyterians. Whether the
seminary and DR.. Briggs prevail or 90
under will depend upon the degree in
which the old-fashioned azure-fronted
follower of Calvin is yet eXtant IN the
world. The controversy may end IN the
seminary party finding themselves the
posed to jump on the other party for
heresy.

A SUGGESTION.

Gov. Page is just home from an eX-
tended trip through the West with Sec
Rotary of War Proctor. We wonder if 1t
ever occurred to these gentlemen what a
strike they might make in Il literary way
by producing a book in partnership. 1t
could be called "The Elevation of the
Goose; or, How to Succeed in Business
and Politics." Honestly written, and
illustrated with examples drawn from
the experiences of the authors in causing
the goose to hang high, 1t would certain
~ create "A sensation and could not fail
of being success financially. Next
year is not an off year in Vermont politics.
In each of the $50 odd towns of Vermont
are at least ten aspirants for the Office of
representative, and not less than GOO men
want to 90 to the Senate, so substantial
ly 5000 copies would be at once called
for, to say nothing of the demand from
as governor, adutant and inspector gen
eral, iudge-advocate general, etc, etc
Then there are other thousands who
yearn to be seectmen next spring and
pound-keepers and inspectors of wood
and lumber and prudential committee
men. The distinguished gentlemen need
hot fear that their production would fall
fiat on the market 1t would be called
for from all quarters. From Addison TO
Worcester would 60 up cry for 1t. a
preface might be contributed by Hon.
Eli Get-there Ormsbee of Brandon, which
would add materially to the interest and
value of the book. Those are not Mr..
Ormsbee's initials. of course, but they
ought to have been. Persons who at
tended the State convention at Burling-
ton when he was nominated for lieuten-
ant-governor will remember how a Rut-
land man, somewhat the worse for loss
of sleep the previoys night and too much
Lake Champlan water, arose in his place
and on behalf of the Rutland county
delegation seconded the nomination of
"Hon. f. G.. Ormsbury.' That man was
true prophet; he didn't know his can
didate's initials, but he did know what
they ought to be, as events have proved.

VERMONT AND BLAINE.

Ex-Congressman Stewart thinks that
Vermont is for Blaine-which is a pref
ty safe thought for man to think. Mr..
Stewart says: "My judgment is that If
Mr.. Blaine is a candidate for the presi-
dency every State will be for Blaine,
Vermont included. In other words,
don't believe if it is understood at the con-
vention Mr.. Blaine is candidate there
will be any other candidate in the field.
He would carry the convention like a
whirlwind. have no doubt that Yer
mont would support Mr.. Blaine with a
great deal of enthusiasm, and so would
every other State, if he were candi-
date, and that depends upon himself.
What his decision will be | don't think
any one now has any authority to de-
lare."-[St. Johnsbury Republican.

a SIGN OF BETTER THINGS.

The uniform report from the fairs this
year is that the farmers are taking hold
in earnest in horse-breeding. 1t is not
merely in the trots that the encouraging
fact appears, but in the exhibits of brood
mares and colts and III the old legiti-
mate business of raising good work and
driving horses. For the latter especial
ly there is bound to be permanently
healthy market, for from no where else
can so good animals be obtained as from
the hills of Vermont. And this improve
ment is only another of the multiplying
evidences that better day is dawning
for Vermont agriculture.-( Brattleboro

WHISTLE SIGNALS.

The United States weather bureau has
recently authorized the establishment OF
a large number of weather signal display
stations in New England for the purpose
of displaying the daily weather forecasts
and cold wave warnings by means of
signal flags. The forecasts are tele-
graphed at government expense to any
section where set of flags will be pro-
cured and regularly displayed for the ben
eft of the public. This offer has been
taken advantage of in many places, but
there are other places in New England
where the flags cannot be displayed to
great advantage, and to properly cover
these regions system of whistle signals
should be established. The forecasts and
cold wave warnings will be telegraphed
to Il limited number of mills, foundries.
etc, in the agricultural sections, whose
owners will arrange to give the warning
signals at some stated hour in the day.
The signals will be as follows
One long blast indicates fair weather.
Two long blasts indicates rain or snow
Three long blasts indicate local rains.
One short blast indicates lower temper
ature.
Two short blasts indicate higher TEN,
perature.
Three short blasts indicate cold wave
Different combinations can easily be
made, full explanation of which will be
sent when the station is established. 1t
Is sufficient to say that the warning sig
nal to attract attention will be blast OF
from II to 20 seconds duration. After
this warning signal has been sounded
long blasts (Of from four to six seconds
duration) refer to the weather, and short
blasts (of from one to three seconds du-
ration) refer to temperature; those for
weather to be sounded first. By repeat
ing each combination few times posi-
bilities of error in reading the forecasts
will be avoided.

FIXING STATE LINES.
North and South Dakota to Be Divided
The Manner of 1t.

Tho government is out with an adver-
,isement asking for bids for the survey
of the boundary line between North and
South Dakota. At the last session of
congress $25, 900 was appropriated for
this survey. The contract for the work
will be let on April Is to the lowest bid
der. The initial point of the boundary
line is the intersection of the seventh
principal meridian and the Big
Sioux river. A survey has
been made from this initial point to the
Sisseston and Wahpeton reservation, a
distance of eleven and one-half miles.
Across the reservation an original sur
vey will have to be made-about thirty
two and three-quarter miles. From
the west boundary an original survey
has been made to the Missouri river, a
distance of 14515 miles. From the river
to Montana an original survey will have
to be made of 171A miles, hence tho
width of North and South Dakota is
36115 miles, of which 1877 have
been surveyed and are to be re-
surveyed, and 2O4h which will re-
quire an original survey. The boundary
line is to be perpetuated by stone monu-
ments at intervals of half a mile, begin
ming with the initial point and ending
