Death of JUSTICE Bradley.

Justice Joseph p Bradley of the
United States supreme court died
Friday morning at Washington
His illness was brief. The event will
not occasion surprise, for Justice
Bradley was advanced in years, a
hard worker, and it was well under
stood that he was determined to
die in the harness. He was born
March II, 1881, and had therefore
served nearly nine years in excess Of
the age when hewas entitled to retire
on a full salary.
Justice Bradley was born in Berne
Albany county, n. Y, but becoming
student at Rutgers college he be-
gan after graduating the study OF
law at Newark, N. j. Here he prac-
ticed his profession with great dis
tinction fer thirty years, until APP,
pointed to the United States supreme
court by President Grant in 1870.
He was made the eighth member oil
The electoral commission in 1877 af-
ter Judge Davis had evaded the re-
sponsibuity by getting himself elect
ID United States Senator for Illinois,
and it was his vote that gave the
presidency to General Hayes. In
the proceedings Of that commission
he sustained his position by eiabo-
rate and able arguments which were
made a part Of the record. Justice
Bradley was the oldest member of the
court, though Justice Field is his
senior by seven years on the supreme
bench. He is the last of President
Grants appointees.

poses that the affair of the attack on

Vermont at The Worlds Fair.

Seventy of the 100 persons on
whom the commission relied to guar
antee Vermont's exposition building
fund have given their assent, and l )

eddy do so when they loose their grip,

Vermont Republican League.

The opening gun in the Presiden-
| tial campaign in this state, will be
| fired at the meeting of the Republi-
can League of Vermont, to be held
on the anniversary of the birthday
of Abraham Linc0ln-February II.
The occasion promises to be made
a notable one by the Republicans of
the Green Mountain State, who will
assemble at that time in Burlington
in large numbers to revive and reOr-
ganize the State I4eague of local clubs
formed in 1888.
The selection of Lincoln's birth for
the assembling of Republican dub
conventions in every state was made
by the National Committee of the
League, and received the cordial APP
prevail of the Executive Committee
OF the Vermont League.
The Conyention will be called upon
to revise the Constitution and by
laws, TO elect officers OF the League
and to choose eight delegates and
eight alternateS to represent the
League organization in the National
League Convention.
The formal observance of Lincoln's
birthday will take the form OF ban
quet, rendered delegates and Others
by the Republicans of Burlington, on
Thursday evening, February IL.
The post prandial exercises will in
clude an address by one or more EN-
inent Republican lead ers from abroad,
and short speeches from distin-
guishPd Vermont Republicans. Col.
A bert Clark, Secretary of the Home
NJ trket Club, is expected to address
tne convention on protection and
other issues of the campaign.
The present week will witness the
reorganization of many old clubs
and the formation of Il number of
new ones. The basis of representa-
ton in the convention will be one
delegate for every so members, and
an additional delegate for every
traction thereof The President and
Secretary of each club are reconstructed

The Experiment Station.

From the Burlington Clipper OF
last week we take the following re-
garding the State Experiment Sta
tion and give it IL hearty endorse
ment. We believe that if the farm
ers would read the bulletins sent out
by the station, which announce the
results of experiments made, and
take advantage of them, there would
be less complaint against the station
than there now is. We also think
the same might truly be said about
the agricultural college:
s. Do the farmers of the State IN.
lerstand the purposes Of the State
Experiment Station? This question
is raised by overhearing the remarks
of two intelligent farmers recently,
in the course of which the general
uselessness of the institution was
claimed. But if the farmers more
generally understood its purposes
they might form a different opinion
As we understand it, the idea is not
that every farmer should pursue i'm
plicitly all the methods adopted at
the station. Doubtless they have
not the time to weigh the milk from
each COW, etc. But the very name
experiment station" gives the
idea. The workers of the station
make the practical trials Of different
theories and give both the result
and their conclusions to the public
through the bulletins. The farmers
can thus take advantage of these
conclusions and save the expense Of
making their own experiments. Used
wrongly, the station is a great ex-
pense and is impractical; used intel
ligently, it is both a benefit and a
great economy. Those who do not
believe in the Agricultural College
need not necessarily condemn the
Experiment Station"
