in its present form would cause no end of
trouble to banking and other financial men
in this State as we'll ms to residents OF other
States having business relations with resi-
dents OF Vermont
1t ia conceded generally that the removal
OF days of grace ~ recommended by the
American Bankers association by all States
would greatly simplify the handling of com
msrcial paper. 1t would also benefit the
maker Of the paper, for the banks collect
interest for tho three days of
grace, whether the money is paid
at the end Of the doys Of grace or be
fore. But, until other States, in the East
at least repeal tho laws providing for grace,
Ncrmouters ought not to do so. The sug-
gestion by Cashier Burgess Of this city,
noted elsewhere, that the bill be passed to
take effect in the discretion of the govern
or, or come other authority, when other
Ststes pass similar laws, is Il good one, and
it seems to afford q practical solution of the
problem for this State.

Some OF the bank men Ia this State are
opposed to the passage OF the bill introduced
by Repressn tetive Dewey Of Barton, which
nboiishes the days Of grace on notes,
drafts, checks, ecceptances, bills OF ex-
change, bonds aud other evidences of in
dsbtedness." Vermont was ono Of the last
States to pass a law providing for these
days, and this step was taken owing to the
trouble which arose from tbs difference be-
tween the custom pursued In this respect in
our State and that in other States. As We
understand it, all other States still have
days OF grace provided for on their statute
books, and the passage Of Mr., Dswey's bill

Where are the theorists who have taught
us so long that the change in the hues Of
the leaves was due to the action of frosts I;
Never were the woods so glorious, and we
have not had a frost severe enough to kill
the bean vines or the tomatoes, or hardly to
wilt the clover or the sensitive fern. The
aspect OF the mountains has been unsupaSs-
able, and, blended with all the splendor Of
the woods and the harmonies OF the pastures
and meadows, it has made magnificent
laudscape-one that hos not been equaled

Mr.. William II. Hahn OF the national re
publican committee had a conversation with
ex-Secrotary Blaine en- Tuesday and be has
made public the substance OF what the
plumed knight said. Tho ex secretary ex
pressed his firm belief that the republicans
would win in the coming national election.
lie said that he did not see any reason why
the republicans should not win. "Hs re-
viewed the situation bri6y,n said Mr.
Hahn. Labor, Mr.. Blaine said, was sat
isGsd, because carefully prepared statistics
showed that wages had increased and con
tinual employment had been given. The
farmers certainly were not dissatisfied, be-
cause they had received better prices for
wheat than usual, a1d beside, new markets
had been opened in South American coun-
tries. He also declared that the business
men could not complain, becauEe they had
been prosperous. And altogether he thought
the people were satisfied with the policy OF
the republican party, and would stand by
it, His idea is that New York will GO re-
publican. Since hs has been in New York
he has seen number OF republicans, and
understands the situation. Mr.. Blaine /,

Press in regard to "Soott, the Sleeping
Sentinel, with much interest He was my
half brother. My father had five boys in
the army and only one returned. And that
one, John Scott, now lives at East Middle
bury. Vt. My father died two years ago
this October, but | we'll remember hearing
him relate the incident in relation to Presi-
dent Lincoln pardonng my brother MIR.
Lincoln did 20 out to the camp Of the Ner-
mont brigade. As William was seated on
his coffin, and the guns were cooked and all
was ready TO fire, when Mr.. Lincoln arrived
at the scene. These are the facts as | have
heard my father state them many times.
My father went out to the army to see some
Of his boys who were sick, and having diff
Guilty in Washington in getting pass to go
on TO the army, be went to President Lin
coin who gave him the pass, and also $40 TO
help him on. Father and President Lincoln
had some talk about this matter. My father
used 10 tell these things to us younger
children with tears In his eyes.

Is evident from cur hebdomadal contempo-

Argus is the only paper on the globe which

He was At my Office two months before lie

trade TO exchange their home place for
farm. the property was ali held in his
name and control, and all tbs details of the

made by him alone aud he exhibited as much
intelligence and mental capacity as the
average young man Of MS age. About seven
years ago hired girl in my family
wrote letter to Almou Meaksr, and sue
showed the reply which she received from
him. The penmanship, spelling and general
composition sho wed that he was as we'll ed
ucateI and as capable as the average farm
boy or man. And now to let this sy aIpathy

Burns, town over in Anoka
county about five miles from Elk
River, is in q fever OF excitement over
the deeds OF Il lawless gang. George
Small, wealthy and prosperous far
mer, has been very active in his en-
deavors to lodge one of them behind
the bars, and warrant was sworn
out against one of the gang but was
never served, The whole population
of Burns was terrified and the gangs
actions were constantly causing an
noyance. The grave crime Of
arson has been laid at their doors
several times. Monday OF last week
the handsome residence of Small was
set on fire and after a fierce fight by
the family and neighbors the flames
were extinguished. Wednesday
Small was in AnOka and in the even
ing word was brought to him in
that city that his elegant residence
had again been set on fire by un-
known desperadoes and entirely con-
sumed. The pretty home is a total
loss. The sheriff and citizens will
make an endeavor to get at the cul-
prits. The deed is supposed to be
spite work. Small was open in his
remarks against the gang. The
home of Thomas German will go
next, so say the Burns people.-Elk

The New Milling Firm.

Messrs. w. J. and Geo. A. Forester
the gentlemen who last week pur.
chased the Riverside mill at this
place, arrived in the city yesterday
and have taken rooms at the Antlers.
They are both comparatively young
men, but have large experience in
the business and will doubtless make
a success of the Riverside enterprise.
Geo. A. Forester will remain per-
manently but w. j. will return to
Moorhead to manage the mill there,
their lease of it not expiring until
August l. In conversation with a
reporter of the Transcript one of the
firm said that they would not be as
entirely dependent upon the elevator
companies as their predecessors had
been, as large number of independ-
ent buyers and heavy growers in the
Red River Valley region had promised
to ship directly to them, this obviat-
ing that absolute dependence upon
one elevator company which has
ruined so many firms. The new
firm will at once begin the work OF
overhauling the machinery in the
mill and will increase it's capacity
now $50 barrels per day-tO quite an
extent, but Just how much he was
not prepared to say.
On behalf of the business men of
Little Falls the Transcript extends
the firm of Forester Bros. a hearty
welcome to the city.

What Is It I?

Somewhat Of a sensation was
caused here this morning by the an.
nOuncement that one of the log-sort-
ers at work on the river for the Pine
Tree Lumber Company had found
the body Of boy in a badly decom-
posed condition, in the water. A
visit to the scene showed that the
report was exaggerated as all that
had been found was q bunch of hair
and a bone which might have come
from the arm of a boy. DR.. Fortier
has gone up to examine the find, as
it may be that the decomposed mess
is the remains of the S-year-old boy
OF Brainerd, named Leopold Pepin,
son OF Paul Pepin, who was drown
ed in the Mississippi at that place
Sunday, May Is.
NJ. NJ. Wil]iams-St. Paul has had
another big rain. This is the third
time this season that that city has
been flooded by the rains and the
damage has amounted in every in
stance to large amount. The topo-
graphical condition of st. Paul is
such that the water from a large por-
tion of the business centre of the city
finds it's way into the Mississippi by
but one or two channels. In some
instances the sewers have been wash
ed out by unusual amount Of water
required to be carried off. Little Falls
has experienced little or no difficulty
this season by the rains. Under the
Warning system of sewers, which is
soon to be put III, the surface water
is all carried off on top OF the ground,
thus preventing any damage from
such a source. ,-.. -. ---.-,--- -, %. =. - -.

Swiped The Shingles.

Last night about twelve O'Clock
patrolman Jake Marozik, who. has
his beat OH the West Side, noticed a
man driving up Broadway with a
load of shingles. He considered it a
trifle suspicious that honest men
should be hauling at this time OF the
night and so he hailed the belated
jehu. Instead Of stopping to make
any explanations the fellow whipped
up his team and cut and run. Jake
gave chase but the team was too
speedy and got away with the shin
giles, which were afterwards found to
have been stolen from HansOn's new
bakery building. Numerous CON-
plants have been made regarding
thefts of lumber and material from
houses in course of erection en- that
side of the river and this is undoubt-
edly the man who has been doing it..
Officer Marozik this morning tracked
the team into the county for some
distance but the rain has so obliter-
ated the evidence of the course of the
wagon that the search was finally
abandoned. Suspicion points to one
farmer and if caught he should he
severely dealt with.
This paper may have occasionally
been rather severe in criticisms of the
IN, Do
but local conditions seemed to fully
justify it. The course of the Trans
cript has certainly been much more
creditable than is that of the Royal
ton Banner which belittles those criti-
cisms in the following falsehood:
"We might admire the fearless and
independent course pursued by the
Transcript the last few months if we
did not know that it is not so much
the interests of the dear public the
editor cares about as it is to punish
the company for refusing to issue to
his paper the customary transporta-
tion courtesies."
The company has never refused to
issue to his paper (The Transcript),
the customary transportation cour-
tesies,' and therefore the Banner
could not know such to be the case
The Transcript has repeatedly been
offered the same courtesies that other
papers receive, and if this paper de-
clines to accept the offered pay for
the advertising desired it is a purely
business matter, and has no effect on
the papers policy regarding the rail-
road company. Wedon't doubt but
the question OF personal transporta-
tion for the editor has a powerful in
tluence over the policy of some news
papers.
