The Seventh ward was strongly con-
tested. Gen. Flower, as we'll as several
ardent McGill supporters were active in
the contest. They were incited to
strenuous efforts by the circulation of
the following circular:

electors of the Seventh ward, The enclosed
ticket of delegates TO be voted at the Repub-
lican primaries tomorrow Saturday evening

The Laws of Vermont.

We observe with pain that certain of
the contemporaries who made haste to
misinform their readers that the legis-
lature passed the free textbook bill, do
not correct their error-so great is the
desire to be considered infallible.
Meantime, people who rely exclusively
on the contemporaries for their kDowl-
edge of affairs, public and private, are
probably nursing the delusion that they
have been freed from the burdensome
textbook bill and are investing the
money in Christmas presents. We OBJ
serve further that these blind leaders of
the blind are persistently refusing to
make use of any means TO promulgate
a true version of the laws actually en-
acted at the late session of the legisla-
ture. On the other hand, the WATCH
MAN has whipped into type, and now
has ready for delivery, ALL the public
acts and the joint resolutions of public
interest which were passed at the recent
session. They are embodied in a neat
pamphlet of convenient size, printed in
clear legible type, on heavy book paper,
firmly bound and protected by covers,
indexed and certified to by the secre-
tary of state. The publication is a
complete thing, and is immensely pop
ular with lawyers, doctors, town,
county and state officers and the peo-
pie of all classes. 1t is durable, easy of
reference, handy to carry, vastly supe-
rior in all respects to the old, perish
able, clumsy newspaper supplement,
and it has been gotten out in the
time usually taken to produce the sup
plements, through the enterprise of the
WATCHMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY.

As to Tax Exemptions.

The Mortified Net0S processes to be
unable to see why mortgage on per-
sonal property should not be taxed as
well as mortgage on real estate. Well,
if the listers do their duty under the
law, the chattel mortgage will be taxed,
the same as the real estate mortgage.
A has mortgage on BIS stock for
$1,000 If each does what he takes an
oath that he has done, A puts into his
inventory of taxable property his claim
on B for $1,000; B puts into his inven-
tory the value of his stock and he also
puts into his list of debts owing the
amount of AS claim. In this matter of
personal property, the law allows B to
offset against the taxable value of his
stock the debt he owes A. For reasons
briefly stated in our last issue in answer
to paragraph in the Farmers AdUo-
cate, the state cannot allow debts Sc
cured by mortgage on real estate to be

makes distinction in the case of
personal property and permits debts
secured by chattel mortgage to be Offset
against the taxable value of the chattels
is easy enough to COMPREHENSIVE
than the intrinsic justice of the dis
tinction. Tie danger to the state in the
matter of offsets against the value of real
estate does not exist-at least in so fatal
degree-in the case of personal prop
erty; but the rank abuse of the priv.
ilege of offsets in respect of personal
property is standing warning to the
state not to extend the privilege to real
estate. So great and numerous are the
frauds and abuses that creep in behind
every exemption, many students Of the
question of taxation have been almost
ready to abolish all exemptions on &C
count of debts owing and compel every
person to submit all his property to the
levy of the tax-gatherer. A bill en-
bodying this proposition was before the
legislature in 1880 and found many adj
vocates-notably so able financier as
the late Hon. John B. Page.

THE New York Herald before the
election was breeding CONSERVATION
among skilled American workmen by its
visions of vast army of the skilled
laborers of Europe invading the United
States if the Mckinley act were not re-
pealed. Now the Herald is calling for an
embargo on "ten-dollar emigrants."
That is all right, but the trouble in ex-
Guiding the ten-dollar emigrant will be
the ten-dollar American politician,
whose ambition thrives on the cheap
foreigner. The ten dollar European
has pulled the democracy through many

Travel by Rail in Germany.

Mr.. Auslander who has just arrived in
Germany, wishes to go to Leipsic by the
twelve-thirty train. Having read in his
Baedeker that it is wise to avoid a crowd
by going early to the ticket-office, and hap
pening to be in the vicinity of the station
at nine o'clock, he resolves to seize the OPP
portunity and get his ticket at once and
congratulates himself upon finding the
office open. But a ticket to Leipsic? Oh,
mol That cannot be issued till eleven
o'clock y; and he moves away towards his
hotel, somewhat disconnected, and men,
tally asking the authorities number of
questions. AT "half-twelve Il. g., half
past eleven), he takes a cab, intending to
be on hand at twelve and just before the
station is reached the cabman stops, steps
to the door and politely asks for his fare.
Mr.. Auslander is again surprised, and per-
haps demurs little; nevertheless he pays
it, and is then driven few rods further to
his destination.
Entering the depot, he thinks he had bet
ter attend to the checking of his trunk first.
But he finds that that cannot be done till
he shows his ticket. SO he turns back TO
the Office, which he has just passed, and
asks in as good German as he can command
for ticket to Leipsic. For whatlclass?"
AS the trip is not a long one, he has con-
cluded to do as the well-todo and thrifty
people of the land commonly do, and take
third-class ticket. But that cannot be

another window around the corner. III he

told in speech so rapid that a sentence

ticket carefully, and then proceeds to

Obituary.

HALL.-Died in Lowell, December 6, 1892,
of apoplexy, Miss Mary Jane Hall, formerly
of Fairfax, aged tifty-two years. She COM
menced teaching when fifteen years of age,
and to this most useful and honorable work
she brought rare combination of intellect
and of heart; and in the prosecution Of her
chosen calling she has passed her entire
life. AS an instructor of youth she was
lover of her pupils. They found her pru-
dent and tit to govern, because she gov
erned herself; and yet open-handed and
free-hearled, and apt to reward-a just
exacter of their duty, and judicious re-
warder of their diligence. In her brother s
home she was a sister indeed-a pattern to
the household of patience, Judgment and
goodness-an example to all.
