OUTH LONDONDERRY, VT, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 49, 1893

Sunday opening of the Worlds
fair it would seem is now fixed fact,
the U. S. Court of appeals having un-
animously decided in favor Of the
opening.
The court holds that the local di-
rectory is in full control and that the
government has no standing.
The decision settles the case finally,
as an appeal would have to go to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which does not meet until October,
when the fair will be ended.

baby of the Chinese Minister, are pictures
of his wife and suite, and views of the
different rooms in the Chinese Legation

beautiful portraits and views from the sew

In the matter of colds, it is we'll to
remember that one never takes cold
when in motion unless insufficiently
clothed. If everyone dressed accord
ing to the thermometer and not the
calendar, we should hear less about
this prolific source of worry and
anxiety. There are more colds taken
in spring and summer from being too
warmly clad and consequently becom-
ing overheated, than from the oppo-
site condition of things. Not air,
bnt draughts are what should be avoid
ed; and If every human being had his
birthright allowance of the former, he
would be well fortified against any
harmful results from the latter. 1t

DOWN WITH MIDDLEMEN
Is the Motto of the Patrons of In
duStry.

DETROIT, Mich, March 23.-At to-
days session of the supreme council of
the Patrons of Industry there were
thirty-fve delegates present. The finance
committee reported the association in a
flourishing condition. The following
officers were elected: Supreme presi-
dent, B. p. Kerrick, of Durell, Pa; SUI
preme vice president, J. w. Bentley, of
Carlton, s. ID. Resolutions were
adopted this afternoon reeiting that
farmers and producers are becoming
hopeless debtors to the Spectator
classes, and suggesting as a remedy
that all middlemen who exact unjust
profits should be dispensed with. The
monopoly of money is declared to be the
most oppressive, and its control should
not be surrendered TO any one class,
but should be applied by the gov
eminent directly to the people for serv-
ices rendered or loaned at low rate of
interest. All forms of money, whether
gold, silver or paper; should be made
full legal tender, and silver should be
coined on equal terms with gold. The
resolutions also favor postal savings
banks and the government ownership Of
railroads; favor tax on land that will
discourage large holdings for specula-
ton, and call for graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances; want reduc-
ton of official salaries; favor the taxa
ton of real estate al its assessed value,
less the mortgage OH it.; call on the gov
eminent to take charge of the liquor
traffic, and ask for the extern sion of the
mail service i'll the rural districts as fast

THE BILL WENT IN.
The Peterson Elevator Meas
ure Skins Through the
Senate.
"-snsrsSees9'4
One Democrat Gives 1t the
Vote Necessary to
Pass 1t.
Senator Mott Calls 1t the Nc
Kinley Bill Of the
Year.
New Bills Form the Major
Part of the Senate
Routine.

There has been no measure before the
senate that ha5 produced a warmer
temperature than 5. ID. Peterson'S bill
regulating the receipt, storage and ship
ment Of grain at elevators. For some
reason party preferences and partisan
feeling were aroused by it when the bill
came up yesterday on the calendar.
The debate was at times startling, and
charges were made that it was a purely
party measure. This practically went
without challenge, although Senator j.
ID. Smith esSayed to answer in a way
this phase of the problem. The Demo
Gratis seemed willing to accept it as
party issue, and, with one exception,
voted against its passage. That one
exception gave the one vote that was
needed TO pass the bill. This is the
act that has for its purpose the regula
ton of the inspection of grain and
licensing the elevators. 1t widens the
scope of the grain and warehouse COM
mission, but it was observable that the
farmer element most interested in the
measure voted against it. 1t was this
fact that actuated Senator La Due, he
explained, when he answered to the roll
call. He knew very little about the
merits of the bill from practical stand
point. but had observed that the sem
atOrS most directly affected had voted
no, and, his name being called with the
absentees, he voted against the meas
ure. After the adjournment last even
ing, Senator Mott took occasion to re-
mark that what the Mckinley bill had
done for the Republican party in ma
tional politics this bill will do i'll state
politics.
Another important bill passed the
senate. and with comparatively little
opposition, and this was the Mcmillan
primary election bill. Senator PrOOst-
fields bill, preventing the issue of
liquor license to any other than an ac-
tual resident of the state. was also
passed during the morning session.
