mountains until they are ransomed.
Farmers are plundered Of horses and cat
tie, while peasants who are suspected OF
being informers, are prosecuted, tortured
or murdered outright.

The Bennington Reformer is troubled
because the Republican party of this
State shows to so good advantage in the
September election, while its vote falls
off at the November election. 1t there
fore advocates consolidation of the two
elections of presidential years into one,
or, rather, the abolition of the September
election, on the ground that the expense
of one of them should be saved. But it
should bear in mind that the Republicans
run this State, and that the only fun
they have is in piling up big majorities
in September; for the opposition party is
so small that there is no question about
downing it every time, and the certainty
is so great that there is no amusement in
the performance.

In the rare intervals when we

The expediency of stricter regulation
of immigration is brought forcibly to the
attention of the people of the country by
the experience of the New York board of
health the past week. Something more
than week ago the steamer Massilia ar
rived, having on board over 200 Russian
Jews, who came from Odessa. Not long
after they were landed typhus fever
broke out among them, and the board
finds itself with nearly 100 of these pa
tents on its hands. The Jews who came
by the Massilia did not all remain in the
city, however, but went on to their des-
tinations in surrounding cities, where
cases of typhus are appearing. Alto
gether the outbreak has given the coun-
try quite scare, and the probability is
that the importation of this class of peo-
pie will cease for while.

While murders and other atrocious
crimes seem to be rapidly increasing in
number in New Hampshire, such offences
have in recent years become quite rare
in Maine, and nobody can account for the
difference between the two States in this
respect except upon the theory that the
mixed factory population of New Hamp-
shire is lower in the moral scale than are
the French Canadians of Lewiston, Bid
deford and other great mill towns of
Name N. Y. sun.
ProhibitioniSts would undoubtedly say
that the difference arises from the fact
that Maine is Il prohibition State, while
New Hampshire isn't.

Dear M. BaheU :-Esteemng your

let me hope you will perseyere IN so
good direction, as for economy and
security, with conditions as at Middle

impression of stability and dignity to the
town. | trust dear old Middlebury will
not be unmindful of its best interest,
particularly with such stimulus as you
propose, which should determine the
choice at once.
viii you please remember us kindly to
your good father and to others, and come
and see us on your way to New York.
