The Republican state league convention
held at Burlington last week was Of kind
which gives diStinctiyely hopeful and
helpful tone to our state politics. II was
convention of earnest, active men, who
believe intclligently in the principles Of the
Republican party, with a very strong rep
resentation of young men appearing as an
active element in the proceedings and in
forming the sentiment of the convention.
1t was an occasion when there was to an
unusual degree a feeling of pride and sat
isfaction in the attitude of the Republican
party on the two great political issues of
the day-protection and honest money
and when every face was turned toward
the future with a confident determination
to make the Republican policy the perma-
nent, controlling policy in the affairs of
the state and nation. More than this, it
was convention when the proceedings
were not merely perfunctory, but when
they were characterized by a life and vigor
which shows how the young blood is tell
ing in the veins of the stanch old Rcpubli-
can party.

From the New York Mail and Express
1t is cause for sincere congratulation
that the outcome of the serious charges af-
fecting the management of the New York
Life Insurance company is finally the Sc
lection of Hon. John \. Mccall as presi-
dent of the company. Mr.. McCall's eNpe-
rience as superintendent of insurance in
this state, and subsequently for several
years as comptroller of the great Equta-
BILE Life Assurance society, has given him
a worldwide reputation as an insurance
expert of the highest standing. He had
the strongest qualifications for the place to
which he has been called, and his accept
ance of it signifies that the highest bust
ness qualifications and unquestioned integ-
rity are to be brought to bear in the man
agement of the company's affairs.

Senator Pugh has written to David B.
Hill in his state of Alabama that the Dem
ocratic national convention will nominate
Hill for president and eX-Gov. Gray of In
diana for vice president, and that they will
be elected. 1t is a good thing to have the
news in season.
The grand jury at Bangor has indicted
over 200 people in that city for violating the
liquor laws. The indictments reported in
clude every druggist, all the leading gro
GERS who kept liquor, and every hotel pro
prietor in the city Most of the indicted
persons hold a United States license. 1t is
predicted that the treasury will be enrich

Gen. Alger's military record and his
reputation as a brave and loyal soldier are
secure in Michigan against any assault,
says the Democratic Free Press of Detroit.
"There are differences of opinion among
his fellow-citizens as to his qualifications
for the presidency, but as a man, citizen
and a soldier he stands before them with
out reproach."

the eminently practical and entertaining
paper on the sanitation of Farms and
Farm Buildings given by Mr.. w. II. Bow

there are more diseases and deaths from

lated country communities than in we'll
drained and we'll kept cities, in proportion
To the population. This state of things is
due to the general ignorance or careless
ness upon these points which Mr.. Bowker
writes about from his own personal exper-
fence. There are few farmers who cannot,
if they WILL have uncontaminated drinking
water balnyards and out-buildngs which
are not menace to the health of their
families, and cellars which are clean and
wholesome. These three essentials being
given, health on tn" farm ought To be far
better assured than in crowded towns. Mr..

more pronounced than the first news indi-
Gated. In every one of the twenty coun-
ties. except Chemung, where the result
was governed by personal considerations,
the Republicans won victory. The gains
in many instances were simply phenome-
nal. The Chcnango county board was car
red for the first time in years, and the po-
litical complexion of the board of super
yisors was changed in Cortland, Broomc
Steuben and Montgomery. Taking the
twenty counties as whole the Republicans
elected total of 24S, and the Democrats a
total of ia, making the Republican ma
jority l34 as against 36 in 1891. A palmer

Col. Fuller clearly Ahead.

From the Montpelier Watchmanl
The drift of public sentiment seems to be
quite clearly toward Col Levi X. Fuller for
governor. His name was more frequently
mentioned at Burlington, last week, than
any other, and when his name was annomc-
ed as one of the speakers at the banquet
he received significant round of applause
The special fitness of Col. Fuller for the eX-
traordmary duties that will devolve upon
the governor for the next biennial term is
conceded, At the present he unquestion-
ably has a long lead in the public prefer
ence.

Halifax is one of those hill towns about
whose decline we have heard much in recent
years, but those who have followed careful
ly the county correspondence of The PhG-
nix during the present winter have noticed
one thing about the town which shows that
its farmers are active, intelligent and keep
ing up with the spirit of the times. They
are maintaining farmers club which
holds forthightly meetings with the differ
ent members for the discussion of practical
and timely farm topics. The meetings are
used as an opportunity for an Interchange
OF personal views and experience, so that
the practical knowledge gained by one
becomes the property of all. From the
published reports it appears 10 hc evident
that the discussions have not at any time
degcnerated into wailing meeting, to la
mcnt the sad condition of the farmers. nor
have they been used as occasions to beratr
capitalists or to air impossible panaceas
for existing ills On the contrary the club
seems to have looked the days problems in
the face in a hopeful, practical way, just as
men of every craft must do i'm these days Of
changed and changing conditions. The
Halifax farmers are doing themselves Il
good service, and at the same time are set
ting an example which their fellows in other
towns may well copy in coming seasons.

Webb tells the Boston journal, anent the

Mr. Morrill, says no tariff bill will pass the
Senate at this session. 1t looked at one
time as if a free binding twine bill might
get through, but the operations of the Nc
Kinley law has shown that binding twine
has been rendered cheaper to the consumer
because of it, and for that reason no such
bill will be passed.

The srn,lm,n, for Col. rnlIrr.

All observers at the Republican league
convention at Burlington last week agree
that the sentiment among the delegates
was very strongly in favor of Col. l.. X.
Fuller of Brattleboro for the next governor
of Vermont. There seemed to be a gen
cral and spontaneous acknowledgment
among the Republicans present of Col.
Fuller's popularity in the state, and Of his
qualifications for the executive chair during
period when the industrial interests of
Vermont will demand attention and rccog-
milton as almost never before. These de
vclopments were very gratifying to the
Brattleboro friends of Col. Fuller. who
are content to accept the natural course
of public sentiment. With the drift
continuing as now indicated it seems
safe to predict that the nomination will
come to Col. Fuller with gratifying unaniml-
ity. His friends in other parts of the state
may rely on his receiving cordial and
united support at home

The Democratic Decentralization.


From the New York Times Democratic Mug
wump
Until about the lst Of December. less
than three months ago, the Democratic
party of the nation was apparently har-
monious in purpose, united in aim, and had
reasonable expectation, amounting almost
to certainty, of carrying the country next
November, reinStating a Democratic pres
ident, securing early control of the Senate.
and undoing the evil work of the last Con-
gre>s. Within these three months the
whole situation Has changed. The Demo
cratic ranks are in confusion, the party 5
prestige is lowered and its hopes are in
allegiance, while, on the other hand the
Republicans are distinctly elated and are
reforming their twice-shattered columns
under the inspiration of a revived hope.
Who is responsible for this vast and fore
bOding change? Three men
chiety-David b. Hill of New York. Ar
thur p. German of Maryland. and Calvin
:. Brice of Ohio. These three, working
individually and in cooperation, have done
the mischief. Every step in the develop
ment OF the lamentable break that has
succeeded to the triumphant and hopeful
SoliditN of last November is clearly tracea-
bile to their intriguing. They brought
about the choice of Mr.. Crisp instead of
Mr.. Mills for speaker OF the House of Rep
rcsentatiYes. They have effected a very
threatening muddle of the tariff issue.
These three aim To lee the masters of the
national Democratic party, and in the graf
iication of their personal ambitions and
personal prciudiceS are indifferent to every
consideration which aCtuates prudent and

Typhoid fever in a fatal form is alarm

of unusual interest to the country at large
on account of the worlds fair to be held
in that city in 1893. 1t appears that dur

1897 deaths from this disease in Chicago,
while in the month of January, 1892,
alone there were 81 deaths. In May,
1891, the epidemic killed 40S persons. 1t
is said that the record for 1891 has never
been cqualled in any American city. New

IEO'S GENEROSITY.
The Display of the Vatican Treasures of
 Inestimable Value.

The information that the pope would make an extensive exhibit at the fair, which was contained in a late cable gram from Bishop Ireland, made happy those who have the welfare of the fair at heart.
 It has been known ever since Judge T. E. Bryan appeared before the pope and was so graciOusly received that the vatican would be represented at the fair. The information received simply proves that the exhibit to be made is to be an important one. A formal request for space was made upon Director Gen eral Davis, and. of course, it met with favor. The amount of space desired cannot be told until full information is received. The one article that it is known will be displayed is map of the world published in 1925, the first pro- duced after the discovery of America. That map, which was promised for the fair to Judge Bryan, is of inestimable value. It has hung in the vatican for hundreds of years. The entire exhibit will undoubtedly be one of great value and of greater interest. The mere fact that it is made with the pope's blessing will attract to the fair hundreds of thousands of loyal Catholics who Ordi- nariiv world ho--.. -.;-,cE ay.-qv
