the heroism of the Vermont troops; reg
ular army officer, he went to the front as
colonel OF the Third Vermont, and was
advanced to the command of a brigade, ,di-
vision and corps, and was afterward dis
tinguished engineer officer in Grants

fighting qualities OF the men from his own

We regret to notice an outspoken
EXPRESSION among the Democratic pa
ners in favor of cutting down the PEN
sions. This is especially true Of the
Southern press. The Durham, NC,
Globe. one of the leading Democratic
napers OF that State, says "We want
the sneaks and lousy beggars at the
North. who ravished our women and
burned our homes and plundered our
people. to shut their gnat-blown mouths
and let the truth be told. And the
Globe. which despises burglary and
grand larceny called the pension sys-
fem. proposes to see to it that Grover
Cleveland sits in the saddle the next
four years and slaps all the dirty beg
gars in the face. The pension fraud
must go, and it shall go to the depths
Of hell, and Harrison and his hirelings
should 90 with it."

The newspapers of the State are
considerably divided in opinion as to
the work of the legislature, but they
are unit in agreeing that the body did
a most foolishly idiotic thing in repeal
ing the law providing for the publica-
ton of the laws by the newspapers for
the benefit of the people. This, in
connection with other impudent VIOLA
tions of good faith to their constituents
by this lobby-ridden gang, leaves a
very large balance against the honesty
and usefulness of the legislature Of
1S92.-Hardwick Gazette.

The State press is practically a unit
in refusing to gratuitously advertise the
doings Of the late lamented legislature,
and the expected supplements, contain
ing the laws, will not be forthcoming.
The Tribune, however, desires to do
what it can in the interests of its cash
patrons and will send postpaid a pam
phlet copy Of the laws TO all subscribers
who, between this date and January
1st, viii pay arrearages and for one
year in advance. All who have claim
ed other premiums viii, of course, be
shut off from this offer. This paper is
not published by Jay Gould, and there
is a bottom to our purse. All other
subscribers can secure a copy of this
pamphlet, as soon as published, at this
office for fifteen cents. Now is the
time. Send in your money and we
win fiji you with Legislative lore.

EDITORIAL.

The annual message of President
Harrison is very long, as well as an
able State paper. 1t is a comprehen-
s;ve review of the affairs of the coun-
try during the past year. He takes
strong ground in favor of protective
tariff, and does not ascribe the defeat
Of the Republican party to that. He
i. strongly in favor of restricting inn
migration, if it is not best to suspend it
wholly for time.

The St. Johnsbury Republican says
the members of the lower House OF the
last Legislature ought to be ashamed
Of themselves for passing the Woman $
Suffrage bill. And so they had. The
respectable women Of Vermont no more
desire law giving them right to vote
ihan they do law giving them the
right to swear and chew tobacco. The
majority Of the women who favor wom-
an suffrage are those who never blush.
Argus.
We had supposed the time was past
for such an item as the above to ap-
pear in print, but it seems from the
above there are still some rural districts
where the wave of progress has not yet
penetrated. and where modern idea
ls so lone.ome that It dies Of starvation.
The writer Of the above seems to im-
ply that swearing and tobacco-chewing
afe peculiarly manly attributes. We
we're not aware before tnat the women
Of this State were not as much entitled
q the men to these privileges. But i
''the right to swear and chew tobacco"
Is TO be classed the same as the right
and privilege Of casting the ballot, we
fear our forefathers have bled in vain.
Taxation without representation
was the injustice which led to our in
dependence, and the same injustice,
with that Of being compelled to obey
laws which they have no voice in max
ing, has aroused sensible women to re-
oellion. We have the pleasure of the
acquaintance of several respectable
women, a privilege the writer Of the
above item evidently does net share,
and any one Of them would blush to
read such libel.

One Of themo important gatherings
of the year is the International Mone-
tary Conference now being held at
Brussels. Nearly all the leading ma
lions are represented. An effort is be-
ing made to settle the silver question:
which is rapidly becoming the most
important financial problem OF the cen
mry. The price Of silver is steadily
falling and, unless something IS soon
done. there will be financial panic
among the countries having a silver
currency. In India, already, the dis
trust is so great that all the gold Is
boarded and only silver is in circula-
ton. As all imports must be paid Tor
in gold and there is no gold in circula-
ton or to be had, the result is certain
bankruptcy. Bankruptcy IN India Is
sure to seriously affect England, the
leading monetary nation of the world,
and thus cause worldwide disaster.
Few nations are more vitally interested
in the silver question than we are tor,
while we have both gold and silver,the
latter predominates, and is the curren-
cy in the hands of the people.

New Mexico is a candidate for state
hood, and is aggrieved that her claims
are not answered at once, as she has a
population of more than Wyoming
and Idaho combined. Her natural re-
sources are great and are being well
developed, especially the wool and min
ing interests, aud there seems to be no
special reason for delay in her adnis-
sion. In politics, the State is very
evenly divided, leaning ,perhaps,a "a little
toward Republicanism.

The government is now preparing
the Columbian series Of postage stamps,
which will be on sale the first Of Janu-
airy. They will be sold only during
1898, and it is expected that they will
supersede all others during that year.
They are much larger than the ordi-
nary stamps, and each contains beauti-
ful design, in most cases a copy of some
celebrated painting representing some
scene in the lite Of Columbus. They
will be a great credit to President Har-
rison's administration and to the Post
office department. The following is "a
technical description of the Columbian
issue:
One Cent-''Columbus in Sight of
Land after the painting by William
II Powell This reproduction is in
closed in a circle. On the left of it is
represented an Indian woman with her
child, and on the right an Indian man
with head dress Of feathers, each figure
in sitting posture. Color, Antwerp
blue.
Two Cent-"Landing OF Colum-
bus" after painting by Vanderlyn in
the rotunda of the Capitol at Washing
ton. Color, purple maroon.
Three Cent-''Flagship of Column
bus" the Santa Maria, in mid ocean,

Art in New York City. Color, choc-
olate brown.

Two enterprising Vermont towns are
written up this week by member of
the HERALD's staff, and others will be
written up later. Both Nilliamstown
and Bethel are prospering, because they
deserve to prosper. The business men
and capitalists Of these towns believe in
investing their money at home, Instead
of sending it away, and the result is
that these towns prosper. There are
many other Vermont towns with just
as good natural advantages that are
making no progress, because the busi-
cess men lack faith and the capital is
sent away. The sad experiences of
the past few years in Fort Payne, Kan
sas City, Dcming (New Mexico) and
in other places have, we hope, taught
Vermont investors that "All is not
gold that glitters," and that Vermont
has just as promising fields for invest
ment, where the capital is, at least, safe
if the dividends are not quite so large
TO start with.

A Sample Demand.

Batesville Guard: A sample de-
mand made by the so called labor
convention in St. Louis last week
was that the soldiers of the union
armies should now be paid the diff
ference in value between the green
backs, with which they were paid,
and gold. The government does not
owe these soldiers adoAar. 1t paId
them promptly the full amount due
them, for which it holds their re-
ceipts. 1t paid them precisely the
same kind of money with which the
farmer, the mechanic and everybody
else was paid, and they have no
claim whatever for more, above any
one else.
In addition to this, the taxpayers
of the government are paying them
annual pensions to the enormous
amount of nearly $l50,000, 1000 a
year Yet the cry is for more. The
execution of this demand would cost
millions of dollars and would create
a debt that would burden the coun-
try for another half century, How
do You farmers, raising cotton at
5 cents pound, like the PROPOSE
ton? A large majority of the sol
diers in both federal and confederate
armies fought from conviction of
duty, not for pay; and this demand
comes only from the scheming poll
ticians who think thus to purchase
their votes. That is the kind of
men who controlled the st. Louis
