The Press takes no pleasure in recording
the evidence of industrial stagnation, and
consequent suffering, among the working
people of foreign countries. We would like
to see all the world prosper, and the reward
of labor as liberal and its condition as COM
Portable on the Danube and in Lancashire
as in the United States. But it is the bust
ness of newspaper to record the current
news, and it is the duty of newspaper to
point out the lesson which the, news OBJ
viously impresses.
The cable brings information that the
condition of manufacturing industries in
Lancashire, England, is so PROSTATE that
it is proposed to hold public meetings in
the town and cities and adopt memorials
to the government asking for steps to be
taken that will promote a revival of activ-
ity, and help to provide a living for the
mutitudes threatened with the loss of EN-
ployment or already out of employment.
We are told that manufacturing in that
densely populated region has ceased to be
profitable, and that the spinners who are
running are running at a loss.
However sincere our sympathy for the
people of England in the Indebtedness and
privaton attendant upon British free trade,
the lesson to be derived from their situa-

to be misunderstood. Here i'm the United
States, under protection, labor finds re-
munerative employment, the average of
comfort is higher than ever before in this
or any other country, and while there are
acrimonious disputes on the subject of
wages, the lowest rate of wages in any in
dustry is far higher than the highest in
Great Britain. In England the question
confronting the people is whether they
shall have any employment at all; in the
United States, while differences exist, the
workngman has no difficulty in obtaining
work at wages that, even at the lowest,
afford comfortable support In England it
is bitter struggle for existence. In the
United States the only struggle is for the
improvement or readjustment of conditions
already prosperous.-Nec York Press.

Rule of the Rond for RIcycIes.

The general term of the New York SUI
preme court at Albany has decided that
the law of the road for bicycles is the ia
miliar keep to the right" A bicycle
rider who turned to the right to avoid a
carriage was run into and injured. The
carriage was being driven in the opposite
direction, and did not turn to the right to
avoid the wheelman, who brought a suit
for damages. The court held that the BIZ
cyclist was where he had right to be ;
that by turning to the right he had taken
reasonable precaution to avoid collision
with other vehicles; and that he was not
required by law to turn to the left, even
though by so doing he might possibly have
avoided the collision. The rule was laid
down that bicycles had the same road
rights as other vehicles, and that carriages
must turn out for them where it is possible
or take the consequences.

The state Republican Rally Calls
Thousands of People 20 the Queen
city.
Tuesday was memorable day in the pO-
litical history of Vermont, The state Re
publican rally called 10000 visitors to Bur
lington. The city was in holiday attire,
many of the dwellings and places of bust
ness being beautifully decorated. Nearly
all of the 100 Republican league clubs of
the state were represented.
The parade was notable feature. The
clubs were uniformed, and each organiza-
ton had a band or drum corps and carried
transparencies The divisions i'm the pa
rade consisted of the Chttenden county
clubs, 2000 members; Franklin county
clubs, 1900 MEMBERS Washington county
clubs, 1000 members; Addison county
clubs, 700 members; Lamoile county clubs,
500 members; Grand Isle county clubs,
400 members and clubs from other counties,
consisting of 1000 members.
Many prominent Republicans were pres
ent and it is estimated that the gathering
in city hall square numbered 1900 when
Col. George T. Childs of st. Adams called
to order and presented Congressman II. II.
Powers as chairman. After A. j. Max
ham of Brattleboro had sung a COmpaign
selection Gov. Mckinley was introduced.
His greeting amounted to an ovation. The
speech was a mastery effort the reply to
Candidate Stevenson's vagaries being very
effective. He discussed at length the tariff
question, showing in a striking way the
difference between the two tariffs which
have been in operation in this country.
His exposition of the subject received the
closest attention, and will undoubtedly
have a stimulating effect upon the Repub-
lican majority in the coming elections.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
THE CHOLERA AT OUTDOORS.
An Infected Ship Arrives at New York
Twcnty-two Deaths During the Passage.

Twenty-two Deaths During the Passage.

thorties are entirely unable to cope with
the cholera visitation, the hospitals are
overcrowded, and victims are dying faster
than they can be properly buried. 1t is

An Exciting Time with Burglars at
North POwnnl.

Four professional crooks who broke in
to store at Williamstown, Mass, were
found in a barn at North POwnal last
Thursday. Sheriff Barber of Pownal en-
tered the barn by climbing a ladder, and
held two of the burglars at bay. The
other two jumped to the ground. One of
them was caught by Officer Dumfrey of
Willamstown. The other succeeded in es-
Gaping, after being holly chased by Mr..
Graham, with whom 10 shots were eX-
changed When the burglars were at work
at the store at O'Clock in the morning a
young man came along. They knocked
him down with a revolver, bound and gag
ged him, but he got loose and gave the
alarm. The burglars were well dressed
and appear to be well educated Revolvers
and maps locating different stores were
found on their persons. They were taken

while the total number of cities in the

A Remarkable VIII Contest.

The contest over the will of the late
Phelps b. Smith of Bridport, finished last
week in the Addison County court, was an
important, and in many respects remark
able jury trial. The testator by his will
disposed of his entire property, amounting
to over 100000. His sole heir at law was
little daughter, 10 years old. BY the pro-
visions of the will this daughter was only
given a farm and stock, valued at about
Sl3, 900, and the use of about $40, 600
more during her natural life, to be manag-
ed by trustee. The will was contested on
the part of the daughter, it being claimed
that the testator was incapacitated for
making will on account of drinking hab-
its, and that he was intoxicated at the
time the will was drawn. Mr.. Smith died
in July of last year from chronic alcoholism,
at the age of IS. He attended the Kelley
institute at Dwight, H., few months be-
fore his death and was pronounced cured,
but his drinking habits returned as soon as
he was among his old associates. The
trial lasted three weeks and 20 witnesses
were examined. Eminent counsel was EN-
ployed on both sides. The jury was out
Is hours before they agreed. The case
will go to the supreme court.

Expensive Country Roads.

The Fair Haven Era says: "a writer in
the Vermont Journal has been to the trou-
BILE to secure from the "A townsin Windsor
county the approximate amounts expended
in the last 10 years on the roads in that
county, and finds they foot up S369,59
This is large sum of money, yet with the
system of road building in vogue in most
Vermont towns, and the towns in Windsor
county are not likely to be exceptions, it is
doubtful if any one could show where this
large amount of money had been placed" >
