Vermont WOman's Christian Temper.
ance Union.

The eighteenth annual meeting of the
Vermont Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held at Bellows Falls last week
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. EX-
ecutive and committee meetings occupied
Wednesday afternoon and evening. The
convention proper opened Thursday morn
ing, under the most favorable auspices as
to hospitality, weather and attendance.
Inspiring devotional services preceded each
session. Rev. Mr.. Fullerton of the Congre-
gational church offered the opening prayer.
Presiding Elder Beeman and two resident
pastors, followed by Mrs. DR.. Campbell,
gave short but hearty addresses of well
come. Mrs. e. 7. Housh the president,
gave her annual address. Her earnest,
Misunderstanding words brought tears to
many eyes. Reports of the secretary, treas
urer and superintendent showed encour-
aging work and results of the labors of over
fifteen hundred white ribbon women of
Vermont.
Mrs. Mary Hunt of Boston, mother of the
" Scientific Temperance Instruction Law"
spoke most impressively of the benefits of
this instruction. She regretted it was not
more faithfully taught in some schools.
Fred Peck of Saratoga, a well-known re-
otter and lmpersonator, gave two pleasing
Rotations. An address was given by Mrs
r. r. Johnson, former Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union president of Cali
fornia. Thursday evening six young ladies
participated in gold medal contest. Miss
b. NJ. Brown of Springfield won the gold
medal. This was followed by an address
by Miss E. NJ. Fessenden of Boston, which
was excellent.
Friday evening, Mrs. j. X. Barney of
Providence. r. l., worlds superintendent
of prison and Jail work, delivered an adj
dress (Which held the audience that crowded
the church well-nigh spellbound), showing
that all ought to be interested and active in
the efforts to better the condition of human
ity. One special department added to the
state work was that of securing homes in
Christian families for destitute children.
The president, Mrs. Esther T. Housh, re-
signed her office, as she soon goes to Bos-
ton to remain. Many tributes OF love and
regret were given her. Her successor,
Mrs. III. III. Read of Shelburne, announced
that the Vermont Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union had raised one hundred dol
lars to have our Queen Esther's name
inscribed on marble tablet in the Tenn
perance Temple in Chicago. This was pre-
sented as parting gift TO Mrs. Housh, after
she had been made honorary president. At
the close of the meeting, Friday evening, a
cordial invitation was given the convention
to hold their next annual meeting in Mont
pelier. This invitation was accepted with
applause. Delegates and officers pro-
nounced this one of the most successful
conventions held by the Vermont Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.

PROFITABLE SISESS.

No person of intelligence in San Fran
cisco doubts that the Chronicle mas been
conducted in the past on the principle of
obtaining as much money as possible with
out regard as to where it came from. 1t
would as readily sell its columns to the
railroad company as to the bosses. 1t was
a matter Of indifference as to whether our
citizens were being plundered by the rail-
road company, or were being robbed out
right by our officials. 1t has been wonder
in other portions of the Union how a people
could submit TO such barefaced robbery
as we were undergoing year after year and
not rebel against it. The inhabitants of
the city and State have contributed tens,
yes ifties of millions Of dollars to enrich
such men as Huntington, Stanford and
others. De Young. il is true, has not made
money like those persons who have had the
backing of the General Government, but he
has stood by looking up to his masters, and

If the sop was not large enough the dog has

with this amount, but, as he has tasted

has scheme by which he hopes to pay a
railroad debt OF some seventy or eighty mil
lions of dollars with new issue of paper,

not for three or four generations to come.

ARIZON A.

The Governor of the Territory of Arizona
asks. why the State of Wyoming and not
the State of Arizona?" He claims that
Arizona has larger population than Wyo-
ming had when admitted and greater
wealth. Governor Murphy shows that the
assessed value OF the property Of Arizona is
S27, 923, l62, and that the entire debt-State,
county and city-is only s., 354. 725. The
debt has not been increased for several
years, and the credit of the Territory is
good. OF course. sn objection may be made
to the admission Of Arizona that it will
thereby be given a representation in the
Senate out of proportion to its population.
But there is no apparent reason why Ari-
IONA should be made an exception TO an
established policy. There are at least
twelve Senators who do not combined rep
resent as many people as two Senators from
a frst-class Slate. But the Senators from
frst-class States get places Cd committees
which add greatly to their influence The
Senators from small States go to the foot of
unimportant committees. except ia cases
where long and distinguished service justi-
fes promotion on the merits of the indvld-
ual. There is not much danger that States
like New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio will
not be able to hold their own in the Senate,
even if all the Territories are made States.

A WARNING.
property

THE CALL warns our citizens in time
as to what is coming unless they drive the
thieves from Office in San Francisco. With
either of the two tickets elected which have
been nominated by the bosses there will be
no prospect Of reforms. The Chronicle en-
gineers one and the Examiner the other.
The managers Of both of these newspapers
know very we'll that most of the candidates
on their tickets are of the same class as
the men who have robbed us in the past
Indeed, with the success of either set Of
candidates. most of the very same men who
have occupied positions under the Sheriff,
the County Clerk, and other departments
will be there again. The managers of the
Chronicle and Examiner understand this
subject perfectly, yet for purposes of gain
they assist in plundering the public.

made of the proposition TO revive the State
bank system. AS candidates are presumed
TO accept all the planks of a platform they
do not in express terms object to, Mr..
Cleveland may be considered as having in
dorsed the State bank system. If there
were no other objection to the election of
Mr.. Cleveland this would be sufficient No
prudent business man would exchange the
present national currency system for State
issue OF currency which may or may not be
governed by sound laws. Business men
have no party when such propositions come
up for consideration. They know that since
the redemption act went into effect in 1879
no man has lost a dollar of currency through
bank failure If the State system had not
been tried it would be unwise to change a
system that has been demonstrated to work
well for an experiment. How much more

party will have as much as any other. and
