To relieve the tense feelings of few
of our esteemed contemporaries who can
not understand our failure to ''whoop it
up thus early on the governorship ques-
ton, we may say that the strong senti-
ment toward Windham county is to us
quite satisfactory and comfortable.
Quite so. More later.

New York's election, in which major
ity of her counties protested against the
unseating of Republican senators who
were honestly elected, is a good-siztd
political straw. In many counties DEM
ocratic election supervisors have been
replaced by Republicans, and there has
been heavy Republican gain.

Governor Pages recent letter, is making
for that gentleman friends out of former
enemies. AS an unfailing honor, the
enmity of that paper is recognized
throughout the state, and among the new
proverbs of the day the following is of
general use: 'If you want to kill any
thing, get the Herald to favor it,
We are requested by good solid Re-
publican to ask of the Landmark the
name and age of the young person it
is holding back for a gubernatorial
aspirant. We are, ourselves, sufficiently
interested to wonder how much younger
the Landmarks man is than the majority
of Vermont's past governors and trust
that in asking an early reply we are
guilty of no impertinence.
If those Vermont editors who are so
clamorous for the shelving of "the old
men, and the cuddling of ''young blood"
will cease from their tiddledewinks long
enough to look up the ages of Vermont's
officials who have in years past held
most important positions, they will in
crease their information. But it may be
that the precise age when young man
grows old is as difficult question to
settle as the tailor's location of the
human shoulder blade. Who knows.
The Record, noting the probability
that Massachusetts will vote to raise her
governors salary to $4,000 year, SEN
sibly says: "We are glad to pay the gov
ernOr $4,000 a year, not because it will
attract better class of talent, but be-
cause it is more becoming to the state to
pay a salary somewhat approximate to
what private institutions give for equal
SERVICE" And Vermont, thinking a
beggarly $500 quite enough to pay
her chief executive, practically bars ihe
way to many man who would make a
good governor if he could only afford to
drop his business for year or two.
The govern orship of Verm Mt is now in
the nature of luxury, and the state
should pay more.
Listen TO its ''tale of woe" as told by
the Burlington independent: From
time immemorial the Democrats of Yer
mont have waged an unequal and hope
less fight. Aud this, too, for
25 years of continued National defeat
when there was no hope of federal pat
ronage to incite them to remain faithful
to the cause" Lugubrious, truly. Dem
ocratic ''faith" without ''federal patron
age to keep it alive. may seem to our
readers queer language, but from
Democratic standpoint it's clear as mud.
Faithful, because expectant; not because
of any policy or principle at stake.
That's Democracy. freely translated by

down to more reasonable basis. The
present government is laboring under

THE HETHERINGTON FAMILY.
Arrival OF the Big Lieutenant and His

SAN Francisco, May 21.-Lieutenant J.

navy, accompanied by his wife and
3-year-old child, arrived here today
from Yokohama on the steam
ship Oceanic, and at once took
up quarters at the Occidental hotel Since
his acquittal in March on the charge of
numbering Cover Robinson. whom Hether-
1ngton accused of criminal assault upon his
wife, Lieutenant and Mrs. Hetherington
have been travelling in various parts of
Japan, waiting permission from the navy
department to return to this country on
furlough
Hetherington, who is a man nearly six
feet in height, of massive build, was
forcible in his refusal to discuss his
recent trouble with newspaper represent
tatives, and when Mrs. Hetherington was
approached, she also declined to be COM
municative. There is nothing can say
that has not been told" she stated, "and
beg to be relieved from speaking further
on the subject"
Mrs. Hetherington. like her husband, is
tall, but is slender in build. Her face is
oval. with large Blush grey eyes, set wide
apart, straight nose, the nostrils
speaks, and small mouth. The couple
were objects of much curiosity during
their recent trip, and Mrs. Hetherington

Several Of the Yokahoma newspapers

charges that Mrs. Hetherington had been
outraged by Robinson, adds:
If true, why was Robinson not at once arrested
and held to answer in court which might be
relied on to secure justice? No moro Sc
rious charge, short of murder itself,
could be preferred, and if proved 1t would
at once have relieved the husband of the respoD-
sibility OF taxing any other steps against the
violator of the sacredness OF his married life

Bismarck on the Triple Alliance.

BERLIN. May 2l.-An article by Bis
marck in the Hamburger Nachrichte, de-
clares that Italy should not be forced in
her present financial weakness to in
crease her military strength, but should
be allowed to give the dreibund
what assistance she can. The article has
provoked strong comments, and will exer-
else enormous influence in Italy. The
article shows that Bismarck apprehends
that unless the burdens are light

lie opinion will occur in Italy.

from the dreibund. The utterances, while
joyfully received in Italy, have had bad
effect in Austria. where the reduction in

papers and to prescribe the mode OF
procedure. The member mentioned above
went on to criticise the work OF the
moderator In appointing such commit
tee, and when asked what that meant said
the majority should have at least been con-
servatlve, explaining that conservative
meant anti-Briggs. What this meant,
when the question il strictly one Of law
and not OF doctrine, may be inferred
rather than explained at length. The po-
sition OF many on the questions at issue
between Union seminary and the assem-
bly, was expressed by one who remarked:
/ could grow eloquent. had the ability, on
the history Of the seminary we honor, love and
esteem, and our highest desire 10 to save IL to
the church. but we want to get rid of Briggs.
When asked what would be done if both
could not be obtained, he remarked that it
was an unpleasant alternative; it was evil
dent at Detroit that the fear of losing the
seminary is the only restraining influence
at work. Even the safeguards of consti-
tutional rights would not avail with men
thus minded
The appellants in the Briggs case are
leaving no stone unturned and are sparing
no expense to gain their end. They
have caused all their documents to
be printed in stout octave
volume, including the records of
the Presbytery touching the case. the
appeal and various other papers. These
volumes are kept securely guarded. SO that
they shall not fall into other hands until
the matter has been duly presented in
open session. The coming Of DR.. Briggs.
which was announced several days ago,
caused some stir at the time but all have
settled back into a state of quiet
expectancy. Why he was coming was
problem hard of solution to many.
but it seems evident that the
reasons were well taken. He will have to
appear before the assembly to show cause
why the appeal is not in order. If it shall
be decided that the appeal is a judicial
case" and if that position is assumed, he
is the only man who has the right to ap-
pear on the floor. If it is decided that it
Is not judicial case. and that the appeal
does not lie or lras been improperly taken,
he will have made his journey in vain.
