Whoever wants soft
hands, smooth hands, white
hands, or a clear complex,

The color you want to
avoid comes probably nei-

of habit.
Either you do not wash
e0ectually, or you wash too
effectually; you do not get
the skin open and clean, or
you hurt it.
Remedy.-Use Pears
Soap, no matter how much;
but a little is enough if you
use it often.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially
druggists; all sorts of people use it

Dwellings and Families.

The census department has sent out an
interesting bulletin dealing with the subject
of dwellings and families The total num-
Der of occupied dwellings, in tho United
States in June 1890, according to the re-
turns made, was II , 1873, rs. Iu 1880 total Of
S9J5, SIP dwellings was returned, showing
an increase OF ., OF, 506, or 2S % per cent
during the decade. The total number of
families living in the United States in June,
1890, was II, $50, 1872, with an aggregate
population of CO, G@2 $50, or 49i persons,
on the average to each family. In 1880
there were returned 9 954, 0l8 families the
average size Of family at that census being
0l for the ontire country, with popula-
ton of 90 100, 1S3.
The tables show that in 1880 there were
Co. SIT dwellings in Vermont, in 1880 there
were &C, 100, in 1870 6G, 14J; and in 1860,
G2, 917 and in 1850 5G,421. The average
number Of persons to 3 family for the
United States as a whole has steadily de-
creased since 1850. At that census there
were, on the average, D. 65 persons to
sons; in 1870, 900 persons; in 1880,
0.O4 persons, and IN lSJU, Avn
persons. The figures show that
there are nearly four families, on the aver
age, in every dwelling house in New York,
while in Philadelphia the rule is, almost
uniformly, that there is separate dwelling
for ench family. II the average be taken
as five persons in each family, tie averge
number of individuals living in every dwell
ing house in New York is twenty, The
death rate for New York is S06, and that
in Philadelphia is 226. Even in Brooklyn
there are over two families for every house,
and in Chicago the proportion is not much
less. From these statistics it will be seen
that the odds are great against living in the
congested districts, and that the perils Of
our civilization lie very largely in methods
of life which are destructive to the integrity
of the family and the home life.

Another illustration of the strong race
pre- iudice which exists in the South is fur
nished by the decision Of the white posts of
the Grand Army of the Republic in Louis
lana and Mississippi to surrender their
charters and dissolve rather than recognize
the negro posts on terms of equality, as was
ordered at the national encampment. 1t
will be remembered that Gen. Wheelock
&. Neazey Of Vermont, who as commander
in-chief of the G.. A. X. had investi-
gated this matter, recommended
granting the petition of the white veterans
for separate organization in the South
ern States, but he was oyorrued.
The withdrawal of these men will,
however, be for the good of the order since
they insist on an establishment OF a color
line between the men who fought for the
flag,

Observation-Disclosures

Hon. ElIhu L. Taft OF Burlington is emf
nently qualified for this position, and he
has many friends throughout the State who
believe he is just the man for it, y lawyer
by profession, his legal training will be
valuable in performing the duties of a pre-
siding officer. He possesses a culture ac-
quire1 by extensive travels in this country
and the principal foreign countries. He has
been member Of the Senate and is thor
oughly conversant with the rules and meth
DDS that govern that body. MIR. Taft's SER
vices to the party have not been unrecog-
nized, and he is now president of the repub-
lican club of the Queen City. Above all,
he has no ambitions for the governorsnip,
and does not propose to use this place, which
his friends wish to place him in, as a step
ping stone for higher honors. For these and
other reasons which might be stated, we
want to see Hon. f. b. Taft of Burlington
nominated for the second place on the State
ticket.

The Grant Monument Fund.

After these many years the announce
ment comes from New York that of the
$500, 900 required to erect the memorial
over the tomb of General Grant in River
side park, all but SAG, 600 has now been sub
scribed. OF this amount 1904, 900 has been
subscribed during tho past six weeks.
Residents of New York console themselves
for the delay with the reflection that tho
whole amount would now be raised il
Brooklyn had done her duty. They state
that her citizens, at a largely attended
meeting, promised to raise $50, 600 for the
fund, and General Slocum, in his enthu-
siasm, wanted to have $3.50 promised,
but as a matter Of fact only $4,000 has been
contributed by the city of churches.
This is pitiful showing for n city of 900,
coo inhabitants, who should have almost as
much local pride in the completion of the
Grant tomb as citizens of New York have,
but what are we TO think of the people OF
the metropolis who have the entire respon-
sbility upon their own shoulders They were
unwilling that the remains Of the republic
hero should be removed from their midst,
and still their ingratitude has shown Itself
in their failure to erect q suitable monu-
ment TO his memory. Gen. Porter ha;
issued final appeal to the people to COM
plete the fund before Decoration day. The
last $50, 900 of n popular subscription is
generally harder to obtain than the first
$50, 900, and it is probable that it will be
necessary to call upon people outside of the
metropolis for funds to complete the work.
Republics may not be ungrateful, but New
York has barely escaped showing that {
city may be SO. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that the final appeal of Gen. Slocum may
prove effective, and that Memorial day may
see the Grant monument fund completed.

The car of Russia has just had narrow
escape as the result of another Guy Fawkes
plot The czsr's palace was discovered by
detectives to be undermined and the under
ground chamber beneath his sleeping room
was half filled with explosives. The under
mining had been done by means of tunnel
which led to hill not 800 yards from the
palace, and which must have been the work
of many months. The next time the car
slept at the palace the conspirators would
undoubtedly have started the explosion. No
wonder the car is often troubled by bad

Ex-Gov. Stewart Of Vermont, who has
been in New York for some time, was in
terviewed on the political situation and the
New York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger sends his paper the following;
Ex-Governor and Congressman John
W. Stewart of Vermont. who is stopping at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, was asked about the
political preferences OF the republicans in
his State. He said Blaine was the first
choice, and that, with him out of the field,
the republicans were for Harrison. He
had, however, a good word for Senator
Sherman, saying: "Sherman seems to day
to he the only strong opponent to Harrison,
and he has developed wonderful force in the
past TWO weeks Sherman would be good
man, and, while our delegates are unin-
structed except for Blaine, they VIII probe-
bly, follow any pivotal State. If they see
that everything points toward Sherman, they
will probably 60 for him.
IL all Of the correspondents statements
are as correct as his quotation of Mr..
Stewart as saying that the Vermont del
egetion are uninstruced Except for
Blaine, it is evident that very little de-
penderce can be placed upon the words
While Mr.. Blaine is justly popular with the
republicans Of Vermont as with those OF
other States and most Of them would like
to see him made president, it has been taken
for granted that the delegation from this
State to the Minneapolis convention would
support Mr.. Harrison unless it should he
demonstrated that he could not be cleo ted if
nominated.

The rumor that Chairman Atkins OF the
democratic State committee is soon to re-
Sign his position for the sake of giving his
party harmony and big vote, 80 is entirely
improbable. His retirement at or before
the State convention would havo secured
harmony, but it would have no such effect
now, aud even the resignation of "the boss
rould not result in n big democratic vote in
Vermont. Furthermore, Mr. Atkins has
intimated that he would not retire under
fire, and he is at present fairly well covered
by the guns of the "antis' Of his part.
But above all these reasons is the fact that
the republicans do not want 1Ir. Atkins to
retire. He must therefore continue to hold

To the Editor Of the Free Press:
The letter signed Justice in the FREE
Press OF April H. advocating Colchester $
claim to the office of States Attorney seems
to voice tho true situation. That a town,
the second in population in Chittenden
county, conveniently situated as the town
is, aud presenting a well qualified candi-
dat3 for the office, should ask in vain for
the Office is strange. 1t would seem that
justice to Colchester demands that her claim

salshnrY Among the pronhets.

" hat will the free traders and Anglo
maniacs say now That England believed
in and practiced free trade has heretofore
been all they wanted to know. What was
good Tor England must be good for every
body. But here is the head of the British
cabinet getting upon his feet, and boldly
confessing in public meeting that free
trade is not working well even in England.
Io expected, he said, to be accommodated
for it and SO be VIII 10 by the Golden
club and Henry George aud Godkin ami the
theorists, on both sides Of the water-but
he must say that the free traders had gone
too far. Free trade was noble, as a theory;
hut in practice, as human nature and the
world is constituted it does not work well
even in n nation OF merchants and maufac-
turers like tho English nation. In practice,
as Lord Salisbury sees and states, an intell-
gent protective policy, arranged to foster
home industries, and to give labor
ITS best reward, is better. England
has set itself up as the great examplar
Of free trade; but the nations have
not caught on. Whom they saw how they
could build up their own industries by a
iudicious tari1 system, thoy have discarded
the fine theory, rejected England's "nobe'
example ard taken care of themselves
free trade il is to DO noted, was not
adopted ~ England, out OF any especial
devotion to the doctrine OF tie universal
brotherhood Of mnn. II was self interest

the Americans and Canadians and Germans
and the rest of mankind to be free traders.
In that case England would prosper on the
ruins of the declining prosperity OF other
peoples. But protection is becoming the
rule among the nations. Lord Salisbury
secs that free trade is every where failure,
and he is ready to give up the fight His
announcement of the fact is one Of the most
significant and important utterances of our
day; and it will spike about the bigges,
gun OF the American advocates of free
trade.

From the swauton Courier.

As the day of the State convention draws
near it looks more and more as il Col.
Fuller would be the choice of the convention
with strong possibility that no other name
will be presented for the first place on tho
ticket. From what we eau learn in this
locality and from our observation OF the
situation in other localities the sentiment
appears to be decidedly Fuller. So far as
Swauton is concerned no other name hardly
has been mentioned for governor among re
publicans. Col. Fuller Is progressive,
public spirited, wide awake, hustlng Yer.
monter and Will make good governor.
