work should now have additional charm
for the fair sex.
Senator Hill now claims that Reeds quo
rum rus was his originally when presiding

claim it, however, when the democratic
press was unit in condemning Gear

There are now twenty-threo States which
give women the right OF school suffrage, in
Guiding Kentucky, which limits the right to

Illinois is to withdraw as a candidate for
the presidential nomination which will as
sure a solid vote Irom that State for Mr..
Harrison at Minneapolis. The indications
are increasing that the president will be re-
nominated by reclamation
The silver cranks and bulldozers in Con-
grees are having their day, but the people will
in few months. And it ~ snfe to say that
the next House OF Representatives viii contain
many new men.-Alanchester, (N. H. Union,
lem.
And it is equally safe to say that not a
few Of the new men will be republicans
The Germans are reported to have mill
tary balloons that sail against the wind and
are guided at will over the Russian camps
on the frontier much to the annoy ance of
Russian soldiers. Possibly the German en-
peror means to 'pulverize Russia by drop
ping missiles from his air ships.
Count Gutenberg, the new prussan pre-
mier, is accounted a very clever man, and
ambitious, withal. He may therefore be
looked upon as q rival to and possible sue
cessor OF Won Caprivi. One of the things
that commends him to Emperor William is

Fuller's nomination for governor.
balm for the disappointment OF Mr.
Mills of Texas in not securing an election as
speaker of the House is provided in an cleo
ton without opposition to the United States

We note with approval the efforts of the
Rutland board of trade to start the project
of securing from the coming Legislature a
city charter for the marble village. Yer
mont now has the most beautiful city in
the country as vel! the smallest, but
nodesty forbids our saying that one Of these

mont have q marble city"
Worthwhile is the latest Vermont village
to form en- Improvement association and the
enthusiasm exhibited az TIE first meeting
promises we'll for tho success Of the project.
Vermont has GGNy attractive villages, but
every one of them can be improved and
Lcautitied, As well as made more prosperous
by tho formation Of new enterprises. Nc
town in Vermont can afford to be without
viio awake and vigorous Improvement
associations.
Vermont is now receiving generous ad
geYtising at the hands of the METROPOLITAN
press as q result Of Novelist Kipling's visit
