Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1892-05-23

The democrats who had so much to
say about the republican "Billion-
Dollar Congress- seem ambitious to
"see" these large figures and go con-
siderably better. While they had ad-
opted a cheese pairing policy when
dealing with the wants of the navy,
the pension fund, and other necessi-
ties, they have passed a river and
harbor bill which provides for the ex-
penditure of nearly fifty millions of
dollars-more than double What was
ever before appropriated by any con-
gress. No wonder the democratic
New York World, in a double headed
editorial said that if this iniqitious bill
was passed by a democratic congress
"the Chicago convention will not
meet" But it was passed by a vote
of 1856 to 65.

THE FREE PRESS ON THE SITUA
TTON,

Looking over the entire field, then,
the situation, in short, is that, up to
the present date, within five weeks of
the time when delegates to the state
convention must be chosen, ,thereiis but
one candidate fairly and openly in
the field, and no certainty and lit
tie probability that more than one
name will be presented in the
convention for governor. The
league and state conventions to choose
delegates to Minneapolis, composed
of representative republicans, showed
a powerful preponderance of prefer
ence for Colonel Fuller and no very
considerable concentration anywhere
upon any other name. Later advices
from every county in the state tend
to confirm the fact that the feeling
in those conventions represented the
general feeling among the republicans.
Col. Fuller has the positive and ear
nest support of his comrades of the
National Guard, and of many friends
who hold him in warm esteem, and is
daily gaining in strength as a candi-
date. Nothing seems likely to change
this outlook between now and June %,
when the convention meets in this
city. Unprejudiced observers of the
situation express the belief that Col.
Fuller will be nominated by acclama
ton. If that proves true, we believe
that he will be an acceptable and en-
ergetic standard d-bearer, and that the
ticket will poll the full strength of the
party in Vermont.

The democratic House of Represen-
tatives threw overheard its last claim
to economy by passing, by vote
of 186 to 66, a river and harbor bill
which, for reckless extravaganza,
puts every other bill of the kind in
the shade. The bill carries an imme-
date appropriation of over s21, 900, 900
and involves the expenditure of S26, :
600, 900 more under contracts which it
authorizes the secretary of war to
make without further action by Cong
ress. This is the biggest river and
harbor garb ever known and discounts
almost three times over the bill of
S1s, ,OOO, 900 passed by the Republican
47th Congress, which President Ar
thur vetoed, but which was passed
over his veto, and the result was
political overturn in the next House,
so great was the public indignation.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

1t may now be confidently asserted
silver conference proposed by Presi-
dent Harrison is one of the certainties
of the near future.
Not only has England, through her
Chancellor of the Exchequer, indicat-
ed her willingness to join such a con-
ference upon the invitation of the
United States, but according to late
cable advices, Germany, Italy and
Austria Hungary have also accepted
the invitation extended by President
Harrison, and will send officially ap
pointed representatives to take part
in the important deliberations contem
plated. While it is true that Germany
is not enthusiastically bimetallic in
her sentiments at this time, still it is
mistake to say, as some have, that she
will prevent any satisfactory results.
by pursuing the same obstructive
course in the proposed conference
that England did in the previous con-
ferences of 1878 and 1881.
The manifest change of front on the
part of many leading Englishmen on
this question is remarkable and sig
nificant. The question is now viewed
in England from an industrial stand
point. Trade is depressed and COM
merce demoralized, and the trade
unions and chambers of commerce
join hands for the first time in work
ing out solution of the difficulty and
a remedy for the evil.
President Harrison, in proposing
this contemplated international mon
etary conference, with his usual in
stinctive genius for doing the right
thing at the right time, opened the
way for speedy and satisfactory So
luton of this most perplexing silver
problem.

Tt is deeply to be regretted that the
majority of the national House of Rep
resentatives should have voted to
withhold the necessary means to COM
plete the survey of the Interconti-
mental Railway. 1t has already pro-
gressed far enough to demonstrate
that it could be built at cost far be-
low that which had been estimated
The reason given-that it was not the
place of the United States to build the
proposed railway-has no force, be-
cause in the face of the excellent
showing of the surveys, private cap
ital would undoubtedly be found to
attempt its construction. It is simply

A. GALL FOR HELP.

A great many people in this highly civ
ilized and humane country are deeply ex-
ercised by the condition of the heathen.
To be sure, the heather are healthy and
reasonably happy. They do not, in some
cases, wear many clothes, but clothes are
not the essential thing with heather who
do not wear them. Many of the heathen
are said, by those who know them we'll, to
be honest and "square," at least as honest
and square as civilized people. But they
are not "converted," and it would never
do to let them go to the abolished
place in their own way. Therefore
vast sums of money must be collected,
missionary men and women hired, and
the lost ones in Boorioboola- CHA must be
saved. This work has been going on a
long time, and many heather have, at
great expense, been moro or less made
over inside and persuaded to wear clothes
on the outside. Of course no right
minded person would for moment think
of finding fault with such efforts.
Heathsn are in distant lands, and they are
decidedly interesting to think about. 1t
is thrilling to read about some noble old
savage, whose hut was once adorned
with the heads, hands, feet OF
teeth of his enemies, leading prayer
meeting or singing the songs of Zion.
Such descriptions both encourage generous
subscriptions and reward the generous
subscribers. But without in the least dis
paraging the great and necessary work of
saving the heather, we wish to call atten-
ton to the suggestion of Boston physi-
clan, whose experience and observation
have led him to think that those whose
hearts go out so warmly toward the hea-
then might with propriety turn at least
one benevolent eye toward the condition
Of the consumptives of this country. OF
course q consumptivs il not as in
teresting as savage heather, but he feels
worse and is quite as much in need o1
| help. In New England alone there are a
least II, 900 consumptives. half of whom
might be benefited if they could afford tt
| live in another climate. The physician
above referred to thinks that all consump
tivss ought to go to New Mexico, wher
consumption il altogether unknown amenl
the natives, and he calls on the churche
to start consumptive-emigration move
ment to that territory.
We hardly expect to hear this call en-
Enthusiastically answered. The consump
tives are too near home, they are not a
sIost' as the heather, and they do no

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
There is a much-discussed puzzle which
may be new to some readers of this col

leisure evening hour. 1t is easy to con-
struct and perplexing to solve, and might
appropriately be called 1.-THE Missing
Inch"
To make it, cut strip Of stiff paper which
should be, by actual measurement, thirteen
inches long by five inches wide, thus giving
a surface of si1ty-fve square inches. Now
cut this across from corner to corner, max
ing two long triangular pieces exactly
alike; next, measure just five inches on the
long straight side of each triangle, at the
larger end, and cut straight across. There
are now four pieces, two being quadri-
lateral, (trapezoids,) and two triangular.
These pieces may be put together in the
form Of a square, as will be found by ex
perimenting, and this square will measure
eight inches each way, giving surface of
sixty-four square inches. As none of the
original strip has been cut away, and yet
there is loss of one square inch of super
fetal measurement, the problem is: "What

still he is an excellent barber with good
