An Attractive Book for Vermonters.


"The Robin Hood of Vermont" is the
title aptly given to Ethan Allen by the
Vermont historian, the late Henry Hall,
whose life of Ethan Allen is to be publish
ed Immediately by d. Appleton Il Co.
For many years Mr., Hall was engaged in
search for material regarding the life of
his subject, one of the boldest, bravest, and
most picturesque figures in American his
tory. The author has found that the
character of Ethan Allen has been often
misconstrued and misrepresented, and in
this book he has endeavored to describe
the man as he really was. The result is a
volume which reads like a romance, pre-
senting as it does vivid pictures of the
Green Mountain Boys, the dramatic capt

BY the change in the apportionment the
Republicans gained 30 electoral votes, and
the Democrats in their own states and New
Jersey gained only seven. The change in
the method of choosing the presidential
electors in Michigan, however, will proba-
bly, give the Democrats five votes in that
state. This leaves the Republicans 213
votes and the Democrats 15S. The ques-
tions of discomfort and third parties should
be taken into consideration, but on the
surface there seems little reason to doubt
the success of the Republicans.

| ther than this, it is to be said that Col.
Fuller will make no promises, pledges or
announcements with regard to any official

| All rumors and conjectures in this respect
will be the work of the Imagination of
those making them.
There being no sound or tenable ground
for adverse criticism of President IIarri-
sons denomination by the Republicans,
the Democrats have raised the cry that it
was office-holders who filled the dplega-
tions, did the work and compelled his
choice. At the Chicago convention ex-
Secretary Whitney was the captain of the
Cleveland forces, and ex-Secretary Bayard,
eX-Secretary Villas, northumberland
Dickinson, and ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Fairchild were all on the ground work
ing with all their might for the eX-presi-
dents nomination, while nobody knows
what proportion of the delegates held Of
flee under the Cleveland administration.
Under the circumstances the claim that
Cleveland's nomination was the spOntane-
Gus choice of the people while Harrison's
was the work of the oflice-holders.
William S. Newton, Esq, for many years
the town clerk of Brattleboro, and our
leading trial justice, has reason to feel
I proud of the compliment paid him in the
Windham county Republican convention
on Tuesday. The Brattleboro delegation
would have been very glad to support him
for the office of assistant Judge, but its
members had been told by him on the day
before the convention that, much as he
should like to receive the honor he felt
obliged, for personal reasons, to decline in
advance their protfers of support. With
no knowledge of these facts a Marlboro
delegate presented Mr.. Newton's name in
the convention on Tuesday and the favor
with which it was received was unmistak-
able, although the explanation of Brat
tleboro delegate caused it to be Withdrawn.
While Mr.. Newton may not accept an cleo
ton to sit upon the bench, he will always
hold place of high honor in the conf
dence and esteem of his wide clientage.
The funniest flop on record is that of
the New York Sun to the support of the
! Cleveland ticket. The traditional hatred
of the devil for holy water is as nothing
to the Suns hatred of Mr.. Cleveland. For
weeks and months past it has devoted col
umn upon column to ridicule, satire and
! denunciation of him as the "Claimant,'
the STUFFED Prophet and every other
derisive term that its wit could invent.
This warfare the sun kept up until the day
of Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, and then
on the very next day it Topped to his sup
port in a double-leaded leader, on the
ground that Democratic success is necessa-
ry to prevent the Republicans from tri-
umphing and passing a force bill! The
sun evidently remembers how it suffered
in circulation and in pocket from its fail
ure to support the ticket eight years ago,
when its dislike of Cleveland made it the
organ for Buffers candidacy.

When an article has been
sold for 23 years, and its sales
have increased each year, in
spite of competition and cheap
limitations, it must have superior
quality and absolute uniformity
and purity. Dobbins' Electric
Soap has been constantly made
and sold since 1869, more each
year. Can the sale of an inferior
article constantly increase for
23 years? This soap is to-day
as ever, the best, the purest
family soap made. 1t contains
no adulteration of any kind, and
is intrinsically the cheapest soap
made, because it will go so far,

From the American Farmer.
Choring is more satisfactory
than loafng.
Remember those that are to
come after you.
Keep the tools secured and
the harness oiled.
Be sure to give eyour mattress

liable of plants.
The more evenly :manured
the soil the better.
Farmers should cooperate as
much as possible.
Avoid as much as possible
working in the rain.
Give all animal life plenty of
air and sunshine.
Every failure should incite us
to seek a remedy.
Among other things, get a
knowledge of finance.
Animals and plants have their
limits of latitude.
Make your house sunny and
light; no dark rooms.
Make good roads and save
shouldering the wheel.
It is the thrifty animal that

Mr.. CLEVELAND is one of those
numerous Americans who have
a way Of saying a thing very
well. He never essays a speech
without making use Of some new
expression which sticks in the
public memory. His judicious
use of words, his correct esti-
mate of values, and his direct
ness Of speech make his address
es peculiarly quotable. States
manship does not consist in the
making Of speeches, but at the
same time a party is greatly as
sisted when it has at its head a
man who understands the art of
tersely and convincingly stat
ing the principles for which that
party stands.

UNTIL the laborers of Ameri-
ca learn the fact that they will
not be allowed to take the law
into their own hands and con-
troll or destroy the property Of
Others just as they may see fit,
they will always suffer in their
conflict with capital. How
ever oppressive a law may be,
it must be respected and en-
forced until it is repealed. ANY
other course would result in an
archy. Therefore, whenever
strikers undertake to override
the law, and by force and vio-
lence to compel their employers
tocome to their terms, they array
themselves in opposition to the
United States-both State and
Federal-and it is but a ques.
tion Of time till they must come
to terms; and in nine cases out
OF ten they are much worse OIL
than when they began the
strike.
The only hope of relief for the
laborer-as well as for other
classes-from the oppression Of
unjust lawsis through the ballot
box; and the sooner he realizes
this fact and goes to work in
telligently to seek that relief
the better off he will be. Let
him 60 to the election and vote
for the candidates of the Demo-
cratic party, which has always
been the friend of the poor man
and has opposed the system of
Legislation which has enabled
the few to oppress the many.
Upon Democratic success de.
pends the prosperity of the la
boring man.

In the Sub-treasury in New
York city there is on deposit
today more than $4,000, 900
representing out standing mon
ey orders, and of this amount
more than $4,000, 900 represents
money orders which are over
due and which may never be
presented for payment. Ten
years ago, in a spasm of virtue,
Congress appropriated the mon
ey to pay the salaries of ten
clerks who should check up the
books of the money order office
and prepare a list of money or
ders which had not been pre-
sented for payment. 1t was
estimated then that if this list
was prepared the owners of two.
thirds of this money could be
traced, and the money could be
restored to them. Today one
solitary clerk sits in a little
office on the top floor Of the
Post-office Department annex,
checking up the unpaid money
orders. he is working now on
orders issued in 1871, at this
rate he will not catch up with
his work within twenty years.
and by that time most of the
owners of the money will lie
dead and their heirs or executors
will be hard to find. The
other nine clerks, for which
Congress has been making
appropriations regularly, are
working away at other busi-
ness. The business of the
Office is very much in arrears,
and is likely to fall behind
still more since the proposed
appropriation, for twenty-four

States he carried in 1884. That
year he received .2ly votes
against 1S2 for Mr.. Blaine, POI

This year 223 votes will be re-
quired to elect. The States
carried by Cleveland in 1854

tionment several electoral votes,
as follows: Texas ., and Alaba.

souri, and New Jersey, each /.
These, added to the 219 votes
of 1884, will make 22G, which

Why the Strike Failed,
Philadelphia Times.


Philadelphia Times.
The swithmen's strike at Buff
falo failed from causes entirely
outside of the question of hours
of work or wages.
1t was a Gel tain failure from
the first hour of its birth, solely
because lawlessness and des-
truction of property began sim
ultaneously with the strike.
Had the switcnmen demand
ed increased pay or less hours
of labor, and failing to get that
proposed arbitration, or struck
with the public assurance OF
obedience to law and order,
they would have commanded
public sympathy and might
have reasonably hoped for CO.

violence and destruction OF
property as soon as the strike
was inauguraued, their cause
was utterly hopeless.
The question Of wages OF
hours of labor disappeared from
the public view when 1000
troops were called out to pre-
vent strikers from destroying
property in their own charge be.
fore the strike, and when nc
man couli aid in moving a train
without imperiling his life.
When lawlessness begins, Its
suppression becomes at once
the supreme issue until it shall
be entirely accomplished.
Thus the Buffalo switchmen's
strike died of suicidal hands, as
all such strikes must die in a
land of liberty and law, and the
organization that inaugurated
the strike is compelled to bear
the disgrace of the few lawless
members it permitted to indulge
in violent disorder. Not only is
the organization prejudiced in
the public mind, but its mem.
