A bill has been signed by Governor
Flower, of New York, incorporating
the Model Town Co. This company in
tends to establish purely socialistic
community in Niagara county, New
York, to test the soundness of Edward
Ballamy's doctrins. 1t is an enterprise
that will be watched with the most in
tense interest. The protector, Mr..
Love, man who has for years, been in
the business of establishing railroad
towns in the West, predicts, in ten
years, population of 100000 people.
He is very sanguine.

San Diego Vidette: When the Kan
sas farmer loses his home by mortgage
it is due to his shiftless habits and ex-
trayagant living. When a bank fails
it is because depositors have withdrawn
their funds; when a manufacturer
shuts down. it Is due to stringenGy in
the money market In New York, gen.
eral unrest and lack of confidence.
But after all we have to confess it's
the tariff-on money.

lies to believe they would ever for an
instant entertain such ideas OF whole

the time was coming when women

The Kansas City Times is trying des-
perately hard to prove that popuIists
hate democrats. Populists hate nobody
but those whom they believe to be trail
tors to justice and right. These we
hate whether they pretend to be popu-
lists, democrats, or republicans. But
for every man who stands up conscien-
tiou9ly for right, truth, and the welfare
of the masses, we have the greatest re-
gard, no matter what he calls hin self.

on mercantile affairs reported that
it had chosen James Richie chair

favored the idea of announcing be-
forehand what subjects would be
considered. Several speakers thought
that this was an excellent sugges-
ton.
The matter of creamery and also
of placarding and announcing trains
at the depot was then suggested as
good subjects to discuss at the next
regular meeting.
The banquet committee announced
that they were getting everything
ready for the banquet next Tuesday
evening. Good music had been
engaged and a great time was anti
cipated. President Smith announced

SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.


The special village meeting called
to consider the hog question was
held in the Opera House last Satur-
day evening and called out about
$50 voters. Henry c. Ide was
chosen moderator, and n M. John
son set the ball rolling by moving to
adjourn. This motion was lost on
viva yOce vote.
Alexander Dunnett then moved
that the article in the warning be
dismissed. He thought the question
had been properly settled at the last
special meeting, and that as the
trustees had since been enlightened
upon their duties, the only thing to
do was to dismiss the article.
The chair asked Chairman Stevens
of the board of trustees if the trus-
tees had received any light on the
subject.
Mr. Stevens said he could not
speak for the board that they had
not received new light, but that the
board would use their best Judgment
in the matter and do what they
thought would be for the best
interests OF St. Johnsbury.
Considerable time was then vast
ed over the question of balloting on
Mr.. Dunnett's motion, and the chair
and Mr.. Dunnett had a little dis
cussion over the meaning of the mo-
ton, and Mr.. Dunnett and Col.
Fletcher exchanged compliments. On
a viva voce vote Mr.. Dunnett's
motion was lost. 1t was then voted
to reconsider the action of the last
special meeting.
George H. Cross hoped the voters
would leave the matter just where
it was, as the law was specific
enough as to what constituted q
nuisance.
John Mcdonald thought there wa:
altogether too much legal quibblinl
here for the best interests of th'
meeting, and reminded the voters
that this was the model village o
New England and he hoped thi,
question would be decided peaceabl,
aid the right way.
The following resolution was offer
ed by Charles T. Walter, who movet
its adoption;
Resolved, That the bylaw relating
to the keeping of swine, passed at tn
annual village meeting, be re-atfirmed
but that that bylaw be construed as
license and not as prohibitory act; an,
that the trustees are hereby instructed t,
issue licenses for the keeping of swine il
all proper cases"
Col. Fletcher favored the resolu
ton.
Another discussion then arose owe
the use OF the check list in voting OIL
this resolution, participated in b,
Messrs. Fletcher, Dunnett, Johnson
and c. H. West. The latter though
the trustees were unpaid. TIL
monotony of the discussion wa
varied by the bright remark of H. B
Davis, who wanted the check lis
used, and hoped the question woult
be settled once for all tonight, with
out having circus every other weel
with a hog In the ring.
The check list was used in votin!
and there was stampede to th
front for the ballot box, to TIL
great discontinue of the ballot clerk
who were greatly hindered in thei
work by the crowd around th'
ballot box.
The result of the ballot was a!
follows: Whole number of votes
cast, 1856; in favor of the motion
1863; against the motion, 166, anC
the resolution was adopted.
The meeting then adjourned
