Ex-Speaker Reed explained to a
coterie of republicans at M ontpelier
last week why the republican party
was defeated in the elections of 1890.
He said that the big dry goods mer-
chants, headed by Postmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker, marked down their
goods and advertised that prices
would be higher after the Mckinley
bill. This, in addition to the false
stories about the effects of the Nc
Kinley bill, scared the women folks
and they persuaded their husbands
to vote the democrat tic ticket.

FIVE wears to discover that he was so
afflicted. Deafness-as the doctors
will all readily admits a hard
thing to verify beyond a doubt, es-
pecially if the claimant to that Attic
ton is cute enough to dissemble to
the farthest degree. This man in
question convinced the board that
he was deaf, and the pension papers
were forthcoming in due season.
Subsequently, on being rallied at by
his neighbors for having become
deaf for a purpose, he remarked sig
ni6cantly-"Well, the board down
there in s. say I'm deaf, so l sup
pose that settles it."
There is no doubt that this govern
ment is paying large amounts OF
money to frauds of the sort above
mentioned; and this being the case
it gives color to the protest against
an extravagant disbursement of the
Nations cash in pensions. All honor
to the veterans to whom a pension
honestly belongs, and not word
against giving him his due; but too
much plain language cannot be ut
tered regarding the fraud who pulls
the wool over the eyes Of a pension
board and pockets what does not
belong to him.

REMINGTON BOoMs.

Years.

Business has more than Doubled in Three
A despatch from New York, dated
April 4, says: Some idea of the pres
ent wonderful growth of the type
writer business may be gained from
the fact that the sales of the Reming-
ton typewriters for January and
February, 1892, exceeded those of
the corresponding months of 1891
by 100000.
The great and constantly gaining
popularity of the Remington is clearly
shown by the fact that the business
has more than doubled within three
years.
The Remington factory at lion, n.
Y, employs 700 men to fill the de-
mand eated by the sales agents,
WyckOff, Seamans and Benedict,
who dispose of machines at the as
tonishing rate of one every FIVE

STATE POLITICS.

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the state republican league
was held at Montpelier last week
Wednesday. A finance committee
was appointed, Alexander Dunnett
of St. Johnsbury being one of this
committee. A form OF enrolment for
the clubs was adopted and arrange
nents for the distribution of political
literature, through the medium of
the committeeman for each county,
were made. All present reported
that the outlook for the party in
their several counties was most ex-
cellent, and that the work was to be
pushed with enthusiasm and energy.
A VermOnter now in Washington
writes the West Randolph Herald
that the only solution to the guber-
material problem is the nomina ton
of Congressman w. w. Grout. Gen.
Grout is all right where he is and
when the Vermont republicans want
a member of the Grout family for
governor they will naturally turn to
Major Josiah Grout OF Derby
1t is not every town in the state
that can furnish two candidates for
governor, but such is the case at
Newport. The Lyndonville Journal
has nominated Jerry Dickerman and
several papers, have spoken very
favorably of Charles A. Prouty.
Either of these two lawyers would
make excellent governors.
The Burlington Independent says
that David ]. Foster, an old Barnet
boy, will probably be the state SEN
ator from Burlington next fall. Col.
Fletcher D. Proctor is a candidate
for state senator down in Rutland
county.
The prohibition state committee
met at Montpelier Friday, and voted
to hold state convention at Rut-
land in May (the exact date to be
fixed by committee and published
soon) for the purpose of electing del
egates to the national convention at
Cincinnati and nomina ting state
officers

GEN. CIRCUIT WILL BE RETCRNED


Inquiry among the republicans
that gathered at Montpelier last
week revealed the fact that there was
no opposition to Congressman Grout
and that he would be re-nominated
for congress at the second district
convention. This is as it should be
and will be very gratifying news to
Gen. Grout The republicans of the
second district recognize his abilities,
and propose to give him another
term of service. An experience OF five
terms in the House has given Gen.
Grout a prestige, not only on the
floor of the House, but in COMPRESSION
al circles, which a new congressman
would never possess. Vermont has
long maintained her reputation IN
congress by putting her statesmen at
the front and keeping them there, and
the state cannot afford to go back
on its record at this time. 1t IS need
less to dwell upon Gen. CIRCUITS pub
lie services as they are well-known to
all. He has been tried and not found
wanting As speaker, as COM
mittee-man and as a worker outside
the congressional halls he has render
ed valuable service to the state and
it's citizens He ought to be return
ed to Washington next fall by the
biggest majority he ever received.

DEAR Mr.. MORRILL,:
You warmly on your natal day-the eighth
Since selfappointed, became, in sooth.
The poet-laureate, in Morrill, sense
Par excellence if not to king queen,
At least to one of high estate and true,
Whose laurel wreath. entwined around his
brow,
Is mark conclusive of his noble rank.
Four score and twol This, surely, is a theme
On which to moralize in sober thought,
In view of life's remotest bounds, and when
So near must seem to all, who reach that goal,
The portals of the bright celestial spheres.
Although three years ago, in playful mood,
1 greeted you, CAS- Youth to Age" the truth
Demands admission frank that have come
So close upon your steps, now behold
You fresh-made footprints near the hither
shore.
What matters it, though eighty years or
more,
Crowd close upon US. if in mind and strength
We hold our place intact in active life
And then, what matters, when work is
done,
If summons sudden come to cali us home?
1t is not Death though bearing that dread
name,
But Birth, since real life begins, ends,
When darkness shrouds the silent tomb.
Doubt not,
But trust implicit in love divine.
Peace, health, ard joy attend you evermore.

CAR VENTILATION.

A fortune awaits the manor at
least he would be considered fully
entitled to it-who will devise
method for the proper heating and
ventila ton Of the railroad car, and
thus bring about change from the
stuffv, suffocated, catch-cold state of
affairs that prevails in the ordinary
coach during that part OF the year
when any degree of artificial heat is
at all necessary Under the present
arrangement nobody expects to have
anything to do with genuine fresh
air on a railroad trip in late fall,
winter, or early spring; and if one
makes a journey of any length with
out taking a severe cold, it is moth
ing that the present system OF heat
ing and ventilation is responsible
for.
Nine times out of ten, the at
mosphere in the ordinary CARTS way
up" and there are no shady spots
into which one can crawl for rel1et.
You look up at the vent1lators, and
find perhaps they are all open, but
steam is on in full force. You
speak to the conductor and plead for
little pure air, after you have reach
ed the parboiling state and are
wondering whether future punish
ment can be any harder to bear,
and he smiles on you, says the
ventilators are all open (you have to
believe him, because the ventilator is
so constructed that the average
passenger can't tell whether it is
open or shut, and says he has just
had all the steam shut off. That
raises your hopes a little and you
make an effort to live a while longer;
then you begin to realize that the
steam is shut off and you wonder
why you didn't bring more clothing
with you. Then you proceed to
freeze for an hour, and just before
you finally perish the brakeman has
the steam on full drive again, and
the thawing, parboiling process is
resumed.
1t would seem as though this death
dealing alienation of hot and cold
waves could be avoided, and some
system devised by which the pas
senger could be provided with a
reasonable amount of fresh air while
he is en- route. It IS a matter which
demands attention on the part of the
railroad authorities; and when it be-
comes possible to ride, during the
cooler portions of the year, in cars
heated and ventilated with some re-
gard to the sanitary principles, the
life of the passenger will be less
imperriled and his comfort decidedly
enhanced.

The capstone of the Mormon
temple at Salt Lake City was recent
ly laid in the presence OF 10000 peo-
pie. The corner stone of this archi-
tecturally beautiful structure was
laid in 1859. The Mormons have
always believed that Christ would
come when the building was finished.
But before the temple was finished
earthly judgment came in the form
of the Edmunds law, and nobody
who has seen the evils of Mormonism
believes that this judgment came
any too soon.

CHICAGO ROADS HESITATE.
Action on the Reduction of Sixth
Class Freight Rates Deferred,

CHICAGO, May "A meeting of the
Chicago Freight committee of the Cen
trail Traffic association was held today
to decide whether the rate on sixth class
freight should be reduced to the basis
OF twenty cents per 100 pounds Chicago
to New York to meet the action of the
st. Louis lines. After some discussion
1t was decided to defer action until to-
morrow. In the meantime advices
from Peoria state that the reduction
rates were put into effect from that
point today by The Pennsylvania road
in connection with the Toledo, Peoria
and Western. 1t is now practically
SPifled that the Chicago lines will be
authorized to adopt the new basis to-
morrow.
OF. LOUIS, May 2.-The managers of
the lines in the St. Louis East-Bound
Traffic association were impOrtuned
twice yesterday by Chairman Blanch-
ard. OF the Central Traffic association,
acting In behalf of the Chicago lines, to
withdraw the 23-cent rate on sixth
class freight, announced to 20 into
effect tomorrow. In reply Chairman
BREASTED stated that as soon as the St.
Louis lines received positive assurance
that lake and rail rates from Chicago
there would be no objection to the old
basis being restored at this gateway,
but that no change in the situation
could be looked for until the st. Louis
traffic interests were placed on parity
with the Chicago route. AT present the
Chicago basis is 20 cents. A restored
tariff will place 1t at % cents all rail
from Chicago, and 20 cents from st.
Louis,
