Abolish the Mountain Rule.

Of what sense is the unwlitten
law which requires a Governor
to be taken alternately from the
east and west sides of the noun
tain? Aren't both sides Of the
mountain in Vermont Is not a
Governor selected for the whole
State? Ought not the chief Off
Ger of the State to be selected for
his fitness for the office and not
for his location? Should a small
and weak man be selected solely
because he lives on he east side
and wants to be Governor, when
by going to the west side a man
can be found better qualified and
in every way more fit? 1t is
time this unwritten law was re.
pealed and State officials elected
for what there is in them and not
on account Of where they live.

"Whom the Gods Would Destroy
They First Make Mad"

The Republican party has great
cause for COngratulatiOn. Not
only is the Democratic party sew
cred in twain but there is no
method in its madness. AS is its
custom it has lost more than it
gained by recent elections. 1t has
given birth to a political dictator
and one with a following which
it can't despise nor disregard. 1t
can nominate neither Of two men
without provoking the opposi-
ton of the other. 1t can nomi-
nate a third, but two will sulk in
their tents, and dull indifference
is often worse than lively oppo-
sition. And to add to the confu-
sion some i'll advised Harter is
continually letting the cat out OF
the bag, and the party don't know
what to do with a tariff under
which the country is SO provok-
ingly prosperous. Many would
like to submit some theory OF
legislation SO as to have the Presi-
dent veto IT or commit the other
party by the action of the Senate
so as to procure a legalizcd cam
paign document, but in their con
fusion they can't frame it. To
add to this the party is called
upon to propose to the country
to give to the silver interest a
dollar for a dollars worth of sill.

In the movement to reduce or
remove the duties on lumber no
people can be more interested
than Vermont. To put the man.
ufacturc Of lumber in competition
with cheaper labor and cheaper
material would, under ordinary
circumstances, be a great msfor-
tune to people engaged in the
business; but after yeurs of OPP
erations under q healthy tariff,
with large investments made
with the expectation of a contin-
uation of a system of protection,
and in a time of depression in

the least, an injustice.
What reason is given for it?
What has Canada for instance
done to entitle her to flood our

advantage would it be to any

Business Opinion OF Democracy
New York Press,

buSllcSS oplnlol vi bCiho'i'NS' |
Sew York Press.
The test Of the strength of any |
Congress is in its ability to salts
fy the business men ofthc country.
\ signihc ant feature of the pres |
cnt situation as regards business
men and the Democratic Con
gross is that nowhere i'll shops or
stores or factories can a good |
word be heard, either from Dem
ocratS or Republicans, in respect
to the divided, incapable and
qlarrclsome Democratic major
ity in the lower branch Of Con
gress. Over two months have
passed since it elected Il Speaker.
In that period of time no single
measure of benefit to the CONNER
cial and indus trialintcrests ofthe
country has been introduced or
brought to the front which has
the slightest opportunity oibcing
made Il law.
There is absolutely no hope of
any substantial legislation for
the benefit of the country from
the Democratic party. There is
neither principle nor policy CON
trolling the Democratic majority
in the House. 1t is led on solely
by the will-o-thc-wisp idea that
The country has declared itselftor
The Democratic party, and will
support the Democratic party re
gardlcSs of its performances in
Congress orits action in reference
to pledges given before the cleo
ton.
! 1t is not astonishing that Tie
business men Of the country are
disguised by the discouraging
outlook for good legislation.
With a Republican Congress
things would have been different.
1t would not have required two
months for the adoption ofrules.
The Republican party was com
mittcd to the passage of a bank
ruptcy bill, to an improved post
al service, to the strengthening OF
the Civil Service law, to the con
structiOn of new coast defenses,
to the creation Of Il strong navy,
to the building up of American
shipping through the postal sub
sides, to the fair treatment OF
the old soldiers, and to the eStab-
lishmcnt of new markets for the
products Of the agriculturist and
manufacturer.
The contrast is terrific, The
Democratic House proposes to
tear down the country industri-
al interests by tinkering with the
tariff and debasing the currency.
Every other consideration that
would make the country satisfied
is utterly and absolutely ignored
by it.
OF course, with all the dcstruc.
tive tendencies, the present House
can accomplish little, but it is
well for the business men of the
country, the merchants, the man
ufacturcrs, the bankers, the lab
Oring men and the agricultural
lists to understand that the reas.
on why the Democratic majority
will not be able to injure the ma
tional interests is because a Re
publican Senate and a Republican
President with the veto power
island between the passage of Vi
cious measures in the House and
their enactment. This Republi-
can barrier can maintain the tar
if against the attacks ofthe tink-
ercrs, can hold the currency sound
and solid and can keep the count
ry from taking the free trade road
to disaster until the elements OF
popular will exerted in the politi.
cal campaign Of the present year
determine that another Rcpubli.
can shall sit in the White House
; and a Republican majority be
elected to Congress.
