The Vermont Mutual.

AT a meeting of the directors of the Yer
mont Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
Wednesday,, April l, II. N. Tapln was
chosen president, to fiji the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Colonel Fred e.
Smith, and George Briggs of Brandon vice.
president, vice Taplin, promoted to the
presidency. The Office of treasurer is still
held by Mr.. Taplin and his successor will
be selected later. Mr.. Taplin, though young
in years, is veteran in the service of the
Mutual. He entered the Office in 1868. After
an absence in Kansas for several years,
he returned to Montpelier to look after the
affairs of his father, and again entered the
service of the company. August l, 1878, he
was elected treasurer TO succeed James L.
Thurston, deceased. January 2, 1889, he was
appointed vice-president to fill the vacancy
, occasioned by the death of Charles T. Sabin,
and, as stated above, was elected president
April 1, 1891. Mr. Taplin received his first
appointment and his subsequent promotions
solely on the score of merit. He is a man
of good abilities, sound judgment, great in
dustry, thorough business training, large
experience in affairs, enterprising and pro-
gressive, tempered by wise prudence and
caution, and withal tactful and exceedingly
popular among the customers of the COM
pany and the community at large. He is a
worthy successor to the chair so ably filled
by Baldwin, Bingham and Smith. Mr..
, Taplin has been connected officially with
various local business enterprises, but has
resigned all such engagements AMI will de-
| vote his time and energies solely and ex-
clusively to the affairs of the "Old Mutual"
| In this connection we are pleased to note
the continued prosperity OF the Mutual.
The company is an important factor in the
| states welfare-a larger factor, we appre-
bend, than people realize, If cheap and safe
insurance is an element of prosperity. The
Mutual probably holds forty per cent of the
fire risks in Vermont. In the competition
by other companies, foreign or domestic,
with so formidable rival the cost of insur-
ance has been kept at a minimum. AS a re-
suit of this competition, continuing now
over period Of sixty-three years, insurance
rates are relatively lower in Vermont than
in any other state; for so much business is
| held by the Mutual that outside companies,
| IL they come in at all, must come at low
rates The company has certainly grown in
popular regard and confidence in the years
of the immediate past and under the new
regime will, we are sure, maintain its hold
on what 1t has achieved and reach out and
secure new business and fresh prosperity.

Something of a Drop.

Well, WE'LL "What fall was there,
my countrymen." Three weeks ago
the Argus and Patriot was frantically
charging, in oft-repeated editorial para
graphs, that the increase of the appro-
priations of the fifty-frst congress over
those of the fiftieth amounted to So per
year for every one of the $4,000, 600
men, women and children of our
population" A congress is two years.
Eight do lars per year, as the Argus
charged, is 1904 900, 900; for two years,
81 ,00S 100000. That is, the appropri-
atoms of the fifty.frst congress, the
Argus declared, exceeded those of
the fftieth by 81 ,0OS,O00, 900. The
WATCHMAN showed it's contemporary
and his misguided readers that the ut
most that could be made out of the facts
of the case was an increase of S170,-
100000, and that this increase was
chargeable in very large measure to
the sins of the fiftieth congress and a
democratic administration, which the
elections had turned over to the repub-
licans, and whom the democratic ma
jority was trying to "put in hole"
Last week our rampant contemporary
had dropped from So per year (S16 in the
aggregate) to ga little more than an aver
age of SO for every man, woman and
child in the United States" That is
something of drop-only $12 for
every one" of the said individuals,
or total of some S768 100000. Yet,
the Argus seldom comes so near as this
to the facts. For example, when it
proceeds to figure out that the people
of Vermont will have to pay 1897 ,416
for the luxury of having had congress
in which the house of representatives
was presided over by Gar Reed"
Such nonsense is for the dyed-in-the-
wool Argus readers-those who, on ma
tional election days, still vote for An
drew Jackson for president.

A Plea for Deer.

To the Editor Of the Waterman IF there
is any one in Vermont interested in the
protection of the only large game of this
state, l will volunteer to go with him and
show how it needs protection. L have in
quiet way endeavored to save the fiocks in
this and adjoining towns. but man less
familiar with the forests can not get an ac-
curate idea of numbers except by taking
day in the woods with me. think there
are more deer now in Essex county than
there will be in the state in 1900, when the
present law expires. The law is not APP
proved by public sentiment in this county.
Hardly deer now living would remain,
even il unmolested, as the animal is short
lived. A few have been killed by the crust
hunting, and no arrests will be made.
This will encourage future raids II this
county could be left to the mercies of the
old law, hundreds of graceful animals
would find friends when they need them,
and one is, NED NORTON.

fully advised to accept Ned Nortons offer
His warning merits attention. ED.

The State Cabinet.

Recently twelve additional marble blocks
have been added to the collection, making
forty in all This exhibit of the marbles Of
the state attracts much attention from all
visitors, for it surpasses anything that can
be shown by any other country. The cab
met formerly possessed many small speci-
mems, of all shapes and sizes, most of them
badly finished, which made no real display
of the marvellous riches of Vermont in this
direction. The present curator began two
years ago to have the blocks prepared, un-
der his supervision, for this elegant exhibit.
OF the fancy marbles, which are used only
in their slabs, specimens eight inches square
and one inch thick are shown. One face is
finely polished, with beveled edge. OF each
of the other varieties, such as are used for
building and monumental work, an eight
inch cube is placed on the shelves. The five
faces which can be seen are respectively
rOck-faced, Standardized, honed, fooled, and
polished, thus showing the color and beauty
of the stone. Nearly all the quarries now
being worked are represented, and Curator
Perry will now endeavor to secure similar
specimens from deposits that have not yet
been successfully worked. In some of these
there is marble of the greatest beauty, only
needing money and enterprise to put it on
the market.
The curator has made repeated attempts
to secure similar specimens of the GRANTEES
of Vermont, but as yet the indifference of
the granite men has made the effort unsuc-
cessful A few days ago an elegantly
mounted deer was placed in position in the
cabinet. 1t was prepared by w. f. Balch
of Lunenburgh, who has done the work for
the state in this department for several
years. This specimen makes the collection
of the larger animals OF the state nearly
complete, the only important ones now
lacking being the otter and bay lynx. The
most valuable specimen is the black or
silver gray fox, recently added.

A Sight Worth Seeing,

Probably few persons ever saw the breath
ing apparatus of a human being laid omen
for inspection. From a hospital cadaver,
we once saw the lungs and bronchial tubes
removed, and blown up as boy would
bladder or toy balloon. until the fine bren-
chial tubes and air cells Of the lungs were
distended to their fullest extent. In this
state the lungs were hardened by immersion
in alcohol, so that they remained expanded
when the air was let free With sharp
knife the wind-pipe and lungs were split
open, so that it was easy to trace the bron-
chial tubes gradually diminishing in size
from the wind-pipe itself becoming finer
and more delicately branched, until smaller
than fine sewing cotton, these tiny bronchi
lead into the air cells beyond, to convey air
to sustain life. Truly wonderful sight,
which we have often recalled during the
past winter as we read of the great number
OF deaths from pneumonia and bronchitis.
Nearly $50 deaths in Boston in the month of
January 1t seems impossible to most
people, and so common and simple a dis
ease as bronchitis, should cause death at all.
But think for moment, what would happen
IL the lining membrane of those tiny tubes
described above should become much swol-
len by Inflammation, which is likely 10 oc-
cur after any severe cold. The passage Of
air to the lung cells would be stopped, and
the patient die from suffocation, as GER
tainly as II giant grasped his throat. Peo-
pie should not overlook the irritation or
tickling in the throat" which causes a
hacking cough" Sure symptoms of bron-
chitis. The irritation being caused from in
fiammation inside of the wind-pipe, it is use
less to take medicines into the stomach to
cure it; one might as we'll eat tallow to cure
chapped hands. The interior mucous mem
brane of the wind-pipe must be promptly
treated, to prevent the downward spread of
the Inflammation, and effect cure. On
page twelve of a pamphlet published by 1. s.
Johnson & Co., Boston, Mass, is printed
plain directions for applying JUhnson's
Anodyne Liniment to the bronchial tubes
and nasal passages, to cure colds and bron-
chitis. 1t is well-known fact, as many
persons can testify, that this old-fashioned
remedy will stop inflammation and swelling,
quicker than any other madeleine.

The Direct Tax Fund.

Mr. Editor:-It is a great pleasure to see
the WATCHMAN so nobly right last week in
its editorial on Vermont's Windfall-What
Shall Be Done With It?" Good and sound
doctrine, every word, and II ought TO be read
and needed by the people of the state,
whether we have an extra session or not
Very truly, as you say, "There is no need
of haste in deciding what use shall be made
of this money" Its final disposition can
very properly be left to the decision of the
legislature at its next regular session in
1892. Any attempt to do it sooner would be
unwise and unfair to the people, and inn
polite for the state. The question will, no
doubt, be more or less an issue in our next
election. Let the people have a chance to
discuss this important matter and to express
their conclusions at the ballot-box. Then,
as one of the old taxpayers of 1861 to 1865,
am willing to say; "PW the money where
IL DW do the most good" A CITIZEN.

The VERMONT WATCHMAN suggests
that the money received from the gen.
eral government for the direct tax
might well be devoted to the establish
ment on a solid basis of such an agri-
cultural and mechanical college as the
state ought to have. The amount is
certainly sufficient, and it could hardly
be put to a better use. That the mon
grel institution we now have will
never fill the bill must be apparent to
every one who has watched the course
of events during the last six months

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1891.
Senator Edmunds Resigns.

Senator Edmunds has transmitted
to Governor Page his resignation of
the office of senator from Vermont, an
office he has held since 1865 and in
the discharge of whose duties he has
won noble fame for himself and re-
Elected the highest honor on his state and
the nation. His reasons for resigning,
the senator says, are purely personal.
The climate of Washington is not agree
able to him; he has become tired ofpub-
lie life and no great stress of public af-
fairs seeming to impress upon him the
duty of retaining the office, he places it
again at the disposal of his state. Sena-
tor Edmunds received his appointment
originally from Governor Dillingham;,
the senior, who is still living at Water
bury. To the venerable ex-magistrate the
senator sends a copy of his resignation,
with graceful note of remembrance
of the distinguished honor conferred
upon him nearly generation ago.
How we'll the senator has indicated
the wisdom and discernment of the
man who commissioned him to repre-
sent his state in the national senatel
Senator Edmunds' resignation will be
most deeply regretted in Vermont and
throughout the nation, and the ques-
ton, Who shall succeed him? will for
the present eclipse all others and will
become a matter of national interest.

April Magazines.

THE ARENA opens with paper by Pro-
lessor George w. Winterburn OF New York
on the future of philosophy. Thomas G..
Shearman, in paper OF great strength,
sets forth his views on the error and injus-
tice Of indirect taxation. This contribution
will command general attention. Its valu-
able tables of statistics should be preserved
by those interested in the problem of taxa
ton. DIR. Il. Mason Osgood of New York
has an interesting contribution on recent
discoveries in hypnotism. One of the most
striking features of this issue is Professor
James 4. Bixby's contribution on Buddh-
ism in the New Testament" Professor
Joshua Rodes Buchanan concludes his re-
markable essay on Naturalization of the
Land" as first presented. The "No-Name
Paper" written by prominent nationalist,
is reply to Mr.. Garland's New Declare
ton OF Rights" which appeared ia the
January Arena. Gerald Massey, England
veteran poet of freedom and the people,
contributes a poem on "The Burial OF
Charles Bradlaugh."
The CENTURY has as its frontispiece one
OF the most famous pictures Of the world,
the Mona Lisa" of Leonardo da Vinci.

Governor Hill, the radical free
traders, and that part of the alliance
which favors free trade TO a greater or
less extent, all belong in the democratic
party, for that party is united in oppo-
sition to protection. Those men of all
parties who believe that protection has
built up the great industries of this
country and that it still has much to do
before the industrial development of
the country is complete, will rally to
the republican party, for that is the
only party which stands solidly and I'M
compromisingly for protection. The
issue on this point is clear.

It is engraved by Mr.. Cole. Two other ex-
amples OF Leonardo accompany Mr.. Still
mans article on this master. In the Cali
fornia series Julius II. Pratt gives a graphs
description of the emigration to California
by way of Panama in 40. The pictures are
very striking, having been drawn by Gil
bert Gaul, after originals made from life BY
an artist in 1850. In this connection is a
paper of great historical value by the late
General j. g. Fremont on his own part in
the Conquest of California" Several briefer
papers on the general subject accompany
the more important contributions Of the Sc
ries. Life in another war prison, at the
North, is described by confederate SOL
der, DIR. John A. Wyeth, now of New York
city. He shows that " Cold Cheer at Camp
Morton" Indianapolis, included hardships
bordering on the worst phases OF cold and
hunger. Mrs. Amelia Gere Mason's papers
ON the " Women of the French Salons" are
supplemented in this number by an account
OF the Salons of the Revolution and En-
pire," in which she discusses such famous
characters as Madame Roland and Madame
de Stael, who are prominent among the por-
traits of the magazine. Mrs. Mason will
conclude her essays in the May Century.
