THE SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD.

Last week the striking iron-wOrkers
by the Carnegie concern at
Homestead, Pa, attacked a body of
Pinkerton men sent by the company to
lake possession of the property, which
he strikers had held for week. \ num-
per were killed and many wounded in
he fight. The end of it was that the
Pinkertons were oVerpOWered and sur
rendered. The strikers gave them up
hnd they were returned TO the cities
whence they came. Then the sheriff of
! he county telegraphed Gov. PattsOn
! hat he could do nothing, and, after
eome delay, the executive called out the
State militia. They reached Homestead
Pn Tuesday and are in possession of the
Carhegie works. 1t is supposed to be
he intention of the company to set nom
|lnion men at work in the mills, and pre-
Eumably troops will be kept there to
bee that the new men are not driven of
br killed. But troops cannot be expect
Id to stay indefinitely, and when they
30 there may be more trouble. There
Is therefore no reason for considering
|he contest over, although all is quiet at
Homestead now. But the strikers have

IMPROVING VERMONT.

Hon. II. II. Mcintyre of West Ran
dolph, recent contributor to the st.
Johnsbury Republicans series of articles
on Vermont. thinks the future is full of
hope for the people of this State. The
closing paragraphs of his letter are
pointed and sensible. He says:
We should not, however, sit down and
wait for the change, and we could not if
we would. Nermonters are not built
that way. The air on which we are bred
precludes the possibility of idleness
whether at home or abroad, and there
are many things we can do and some we
can refrain from doing to our advantage.
lst. We can stop sending all our spare
money to the west and south and build
up prortable industries at nome.
I'd. We can make our beautiful farms
and villages more attractive by more
liberal expenditure of money and reap
our reward from the increased tide of
summer travel.
3D.. We can most protitablv improve
our highways with the same end in view.
18th. We can improve our school sys-
TEN and thereby our schools, and support
university which shall be the pride and
glory of the State; with department of
agriculture and the mechanic arts so
fostered as to realize the dream of our
generated senator who founded 1t, where
by in future agriculture shall derive the
advantages from scientific preparation
that are now enjoyed by other occupa
tions.
9TH. We can stop croaking, contem-
plate the millions ia our savings banks,
the still greater millions in our western
investments. and the abundant posi-
biities of adding to them from our own
boundleSs resources.
9Th. We can thank God we live in
Vermont and induce all who come here
to Join in our song of praise.
7th. We can each one of US sit down
and think what he can individually do to
bring prosperity. ana when he has
thought it out, set about doing it.

RUTLAND'S RUM REBELLION.

Then an effort is made to call halt,
which succeeds in degree, but sooner

The raids with which the war began

FRIDAY. JULY 10, 1892.

Windsor county Republicans are awake
to the importance of the road question.
They passed this resolution at their re-
cent convention:
That it is the sense of the convention
that the senators this day chosen, when
elected, should use every proper means
in their power to secure the passage by
the general assembly of an act, Just,
equitable and economical, whereby the
present system of highways may be practi-
cally and scientifically improved upon a
general and uniform plan throughout the
State.

The craftsmanship of the Republican
national committee is still untitled. Sen
ator Proctor declines the office, saying
that his health will not permit him to un-
dertake the Job. The national committee
will meet in New York tomorrow, when
an appointment will probably be made.
The craftsmanship is an unenviable posi-
tion at best. The responsibilities and the
work are heavy, and if the campaign sue
ceeds the chairman gets little thanks,
while if it fails he receives abundant
curses. 1t is not strange, therefore, that
no one competent to do the business
hankers for the opportunity to go
into it.

A POET WANTED.

Our esteemed contemporary at Ludlow
appears to be irritable over the sugges-
ton that newspapers which, like itself,
cannot see their way clear to support the
party ticket because they do not relish
the nominee, may yet do effective work
for the Republican cause by raising a side
issue. But it ought not to take the situ-
alton so seriously, or, rather, it should
look about and see how important is the
State issue we suggested, namely, the
Democratic lack of appreciation of po-
etry. which is so great as TO lead that
party to frown down all attempts to WOO
the muse and to abuse the would-be poet.
For the need ot.,I tr@'-o'eSs poet is felt
mont as witnci@ this from the New York
Sun:
Have we really any living American
poet of high order, apart from the
two who belong to a former generation
and were born In the early years of the
century-IIolmes and Whittier? Where
can we find, or where in all our country
shall we look for any poet of the times
who is lofty, luminous, all-compassing
or soul-moving? We behold, as we gaze
around, disordered legion, or rather a
rampant horde of rhymers, hand-organ
men, turning out their wearisome stan
zas while they look up at the widows of
the houses with anxious eyes; but
where, oh where, is the inspiration of
the sublime and beautiful? Wanted \
Great American Poet.
What higher glory could our Ludlow
contemporary desire than that which it
may attain by bringing to the front the
great American poet?

ENGLISH CAMPAIGNS.

Our cousins over the water are prone
to make fun of American elections and
to dilate at length on the crudities and
abuses which they imagine characterize
practical politics on this side the Allan
tic. Great Britain is now in the midst of
a general election, and according to all
accounts it is far and away worse In
some of its phases than anything ever
seen with us. In the first place, heaps
of money are spent. The average cost
of getting elected to a seat in parliament
is put at S25, 900, and the bigger the man,
apparently, the higher his election comes,
as GladstOne's friends are credited with
putting out almost 100000 to secure
his return.
Disorders have been frequent In
Ireland there has been a succession of
encounters between factions and of ston-
ihgs and clubbings of speakers not pleas
ing to the populaee. In England it is
not much better, even the noted explorer,

approval of Mr.. Hulse (Unionist candi-
