Dispatches from Rome, under date
of Oct. 18th, give information that will
be of interest to our readers. They say:
I'm response to a number of letters re-
ceived by bishops and prelates on the
subject of the desired sanctification of
Christopher Columbus, the Pope has
given orders that all papers relating to
the life of Columbus are to be gathered
and placed before the Sacred Congrega-
ton. The church demands that before
Columbus be declared saint he must be
pronounced servant of God. After
being made a servant of God the candi-
date undergoes the process of beatifi-
cation; then he is canonized. This
done, the Pope may pronounce him a
saint. The last degree conferred on the
candidate is that of making him a saint
in heaven. Columbus cannot attain the
heavenly degree until a number of
years have elapsed, for the Sacred Con-
gregation always allows several years to
pass between each act of issuing a de-
gree. During the intervals the Holy
Fathers continue their inquiries into the
lives of the candidates, and many Catho-
lies have been put off the list after pass
ing the initiatory degree of servant of
God or beatlfcation."

noteworthy fact that no ''rum' was con-

which is more than can be said of former
years.

VERMONT SAYINGS BANKS.

VERMONT Sd WINGS BANKS.
The State of Vermont joins New
York, Massachusetts,, Indiana and other
States with substantial documentary
evidence showing the increased pros
perity of the industrial classes of the
country under the present Republican
Administration.
The testimony offered in support of
the prosperous condition of her farmers
and wage earners is embodied in the re-
port of the State Inspector of Finance,
Hon. F. G. Field, just issued. The re-
port shows an unparalleled increase in
the deposits in the savings banks and
trust companies in Vermont for the two
years ending June 30th, 1892, and fur
nishes instance of the beneficial results
of the operation of the Mckinley bill
The protection principle, as applied
mont farms, to the marble, granite and
slate OF her quarries, and to the produc-
tions of hor various industries, has re-
suited in excluding Canadian articles
and goods and keeping the home market
for American producers. Every branch
of business and every department of
trade excepting the granite business at
Barre, which are temporarily injured
by strike), has fiourished during the
past year and the people of the State
have reaped the benefits of this era of
prosperity.
The report of the Inspector shows the
aggregate deposits of the saving institu-
tions on June 30th, 1892, to have been
S24, ,614, 74l.76, an increase of S3,054, ,43S.
27 during the year, an increase of 5,344.
176 S4 for two years ending June Both,
1892. This is by far the largest increase
in the same length Of time since the
organization of savings bank in this
State.
The number of depostors are now
80, 750, an increase of 9039 during the
year, and of IA, ,S91 during the past two
years. The average amount to the
credit of each depositor is $305, 90, an
increare of SILICA as comparep with
1890.
Depositors in savings banks have re-
ceived in dividends during the past
year 500, ,337. SO, an increase of 500, 1857.
Nine banks have paid A! per cent. divi-
dends, two At and eight 4percent. .Thir-
teen trust companies have paid. .dlvi.
dends amounting to S40,750
Three new savings institutions have
been organized, the Capital. Savings
Bank and Trust Company of Montpelier,
the Orleans Trust Company at Newport
and the Proctor Trust Company at
Proctor. Two trust companies have
declared dividends of 10 per cent, two
per cent, six per cent, one 5 per
cent. and two per cent. each.
The report contains the following stat
istics of the 36 savings banks and
trust companies: Increase of resources
over 1891. S3,273,5757S; accumula-
tions, 81, 20, 4,S5210; amount loaned on
mortgages of real estate in Vermont,
S5,042, 1888, and on mortgages of real
estate elsewhere, S9,O07, 792 81. 80.
The increase in deposits in the savings
institutions of the State during the. year
is greater than the total deposits in all
similar institutions in 1871, and for the
biennial term it was nearly as large as
for that in any former period of five
years. The Inspector says in conclu-
sion that the sayings banks and trust
companies of the State are first-class in
stitutions and are in excellent condi-
ton.

Those who read in our Columns to-
day ex-Secretary Blaine's forceful speech
at Ophir Farm will look in vain for any
sign of mental lassitude or any indica-
ton of lukewarmness in his support of
the Republican National Ticket. His
endorsement of President Harrison's
administration was most emphatic:
Generally, administrations in a Presi-
Dental election are challenged on
account of the condition of the business
of the country, and submit that the
Republican administration of President
HARRISON can triumphantly endure such
test. 1 doubt if, since the govern
ment of the United States was instituted,
anybody, at any time, has seen what we
call good times so general, taking in so
many interests and spreading prosperity
throughout the whole domain of trade.
l might appeal to New York if the city
has ever passed a season more satisfac-
tory in financial results than for the
past two years, in which the general ef-
feet on capital and labor has been more
prosperous" These words will have
their effect in every hamlet in the Un-
ion.

1t is proposed by the New York
Tribune that Mr.. Cleveland should pre-
pare a special letter of acceptance for
use of scholarly Mugwumps, properly in
dexed and annotated to translate into
Latin so that the ordinary chumps of
the organization may not read it. This
publishing so many divers declarations
in English is getting more and more
embarrassing every year. notwithstand-
ing the facility with which the mother
tongue can be twisted and its apparent
meaning explained away. Latin is the
thing.-LincOln, Neb., State Journal.

The death Of Mrs. 8. K. s. Mcolsary.

ulars of her death which will be of in
terest to her many friends in Vermont

death while out driving with her invalid
uncle she took a sudden cold, owing to
the change in weather, and insufficient

East Arlington.

The Loyal Temperance Legion held a
very interesting meeting on Sunday
afternoon. Rev. Mr.. Pierce and Mrs.
Pierce, of Blackstone, Mass, were pres,
ent and each made very instructive and
impressive remarks. Mrs. Pierce told
us about seeing Lady Somerset; that she
is a beautiful woman, and an earnest
temperance worker. 1t is related that
Lady S. was once asked to sign the
pledge, but was not ready, and put it
off. When she finally decided to do so,
she found it too late to save the woman
who had asked her. Her earnestness
dates from this. She resolved to defer
the good work no longer. Ny dear
young friends, do not defer this i'm
portant step. Do all you can to help
the Loyal Legion help make a Royal
Region hereabouts.

Burlington District Preachers Meet
lne.

A meeting of the Methodist ministers
of Burlington District, Troy Conference,
was held in the Methodist Episcopal
church of Bennington, Tuesday and
Wednesday of the present week. An
elaborate programme had been prepared,
containing many important topics for
discussion.
On account of sickness, and other un-
avoidable circumstances, many of the
ministers were unable to be present.
The following papers were presented
and read: ''Exegesis, Matthew, xvi: 49,
49," by j. M. Appleman of Manchester; I;
'Exegesis, Hebrews i: A." by E. A.
Blanchard of White Creek, N. Y; Exc
gesis, II. Thess. ii: 8-12 inclusive" by
w. P. Rulison of Salem, N. Y; 1.-THE
Young Peoples Movement of the Pres
ent Time, its Possibilities and Perils,"
by Thomas Rogers of South Salisbury; !;
'The Tendency to Substitute a mere
Profession of Religion, and the observ-
ance of some Religious Duties, for Per-
sonal Piety. The Effect of this practice
upon the Church, and upon the Individ-
ual," by G. G. Morehouse of Brandon.
"How far are the Official Members of
the Church Responsible for its Financial
and Spiritual Prosperity" by Joel Mar
tin of Arlington. There was given, also,
by some of the ministers, brief reviews
of books recently read. Ten or twelve
volumes were mentioned and Eriefy re-
viewed. The papers read gave evidence
of thorough preparation, and reflected
much credit upon the writers for pains
taking research, and comprehensive
grasp of the subjects treated. The discus
sions and criticisms of the topics which
followed the reading of the papers were
very interesting, and were greatly en-
joyed by those present. Tuesday even
ing quite congregation was present, and
all seemed greatly pleased and edited.
A unanimous invitation was presented
from the Church at Middlebury to the
Association to hold its next meeting at
that place. The invitation was accepted,
and the meeting will be held next Feb

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
Columbus Sunday In Remington.


Columbus Sunday was observed here.
AtSt. Peters church the exercises were
held at the morning service. The
church was finely decorated with flags
and flowers and large congregation
was present. The subject of the rec
tors sermon was, "The Columbian
Celebration, Patriotism and True Educa-
tion."
At the morning service at the Church
of the Sacred Heart, French Catholic, the
audience room was filed. Mass was
celebrated by Father Lachance, who has
but recently assumed charge of this
parish, coming here from Orwell. The
subject of his discourse was with es-
pecial reference to Columbus and his
discoveries.
On account of the dedication services,
which occur today there were no special
services at st. Francis de Sales church.
Owing TO the illness of the pastor the
services that were to have been held in
the Old First church at the Centre were
omitted.
A large audience attended the union
service of the Second Congregational,
Baptist and Methodist churches held in
the first named at 7 p. m. The hand
some audience room was finely deco
rated with flags, flowers and house
plants. The pastors of the three
churches all took part in the services,
which were exceedingly interesting
throughout. Both posts of the G. A. R.,
Woman's Relief corps, Sons of Vet
Grams, town and village officers had re-
served seats in the body of the house.
The usual church quartette was rein
forced by four singers from the other
churches, who sang patriotic pieces,
among them being Keller's American
Hymn and centennial ode, music by
Dudley Buck. The sermon was by Rev.
G. R. Seymour, pastor of the church in
which the services were held. The sub
ject was "The Divine Experiment.
