More truth was never jammcd
into fewer words than there is in
the following from IN exchange
answering the query, "What
makes one town grow into a
city while Others, with equally
good locations, remain villa
ges ?" We publish it as an article
for reflection by that greedy
class who can sec no good cman-
ate from anything that has not
n visible money spout leading
directly to their own pockets.
1T is because in one case there
are men of push and energy, who
are not afraid to spend their
time and money to boom their
town. They erect substantial
buildings, organize stock com
panies and establish factories,
secure railroads, work for public
Improvements and use every
means in their power to build
up their city. Wherever they go
they tell of the advantages OF
their city, they write about it in
every letter, they send out circu-
lars and newspapers to every
acquaintance whom they think
can be induced to visit their city,
and when any one visits them
show him all the attractions and
treat him SO kindly that he falls
i'll love with them and their city
at once 1t is enterprise that
makes progressive town, and
don't let that fact escape your
memory.

GFrom the Hartford Courantl

From the Hartford Courantl
Everybody knows that Yer
mont is almost as much a land
of steady habits as Connecticut
itself, but they do have novel ex-
periences up there occasionally
They have had one this week.
Tuesday afternoon fifteen or
twenty solemn visaged citizens
met by appointment at a Rut-
land hotel, harangued one
another at some length, organ
lied the peoples party of Yer
mont, and constituted its first
state committee.
Here is the platform -
We demand the free coinage of both
gold and silver at the present ratio of 16
to |.
We demand that all money be issued
direct from the government to the people
and be full legal tender.
We demand that municipalities be given
the right to establish, own and operate
gas and electric light plants.
We demand that women be given the
full right OF suffrage
We demand the extension of the free
mail delivery system into the rural dis
triCts.
We demand graduated income tax.
1t is not the fault of George E.
Holden of Montpelier that this
platform does not contain a
plank denunciatory of the Yer
mont Central Railroad company,
and calling for the ownership
and operation of all railroads,
telegraphs and telephones by the
government. He wanted it and
pleaded for it, but the other re-
formers sat on Reformer Holden.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Less than four weeks hence
Congress will convene i'll extra
ordinary session, and the time is
ample for the Representatives,
and Senators to determine upon
their course.
There will be the usual effort
of demagOgues to shape legiSla-
ton to suit selfish interests; but
it is devoutly hoped that in the
present grave financial situation
enough good men and true may
be found to do just what is needed
to be done, and to prevent any
rash or foolish legislation, any
experiments in monetary lcgisla-
ton. What is needed to be done
is just this:
To repeal the silver law OF
1890, commonl Y called the "Sher-
man law"
That, and that only, is all that
is needed. There must be no law
allowing any further coinage OF
legal-tcnGer silver dollars. With
no addition to their volume, we
can carry them on parity with
gold without any trouble or
danger.
There must be no law to in.
crease the circulation. There is
plenty of money for all the needs
.ofbusiness in this country. What
we need is q restoration of conf.
dence in the soundness of ouI
financial methods. With that
restoration, gold will come to us
from Europe, and we will be all
right.
1t is wise to know when tC
avoid unnecessary legislation.

1t was just one year ago says
the Boston Advertiser that
Grover Cleveland was nomina-
ted for president by the Chicago
convention. The country was
under a republican administra-
ton, money was plenty, there
was general tonic of prosperity
i'll the air. At the end Of that
year we are living under a demo-
cratic administration, money is
scarce and the country laboring
under the most severe and gen
eral business depression since
1873. These are facts, whether
they have significance or not.
Who is there among our business
men who would not like to turn
the hands of the clock backward
and put us where they were a
year ago?

THE CUTTING ESTATE SETTLED.

III 1 4 4 A-NAf A-N' u - 80 .
Judge of Probate Storrs went
to Lunenburg on the 9th INST,
tOexaminc, adjust and settle the
final accounts in the Cutting eS-
tate, and to make final DEGREES
closing the administration of the
estate. He found a most com
pletc and systematic arrange
mcnt of all the work. There was
a point of time during this adj
1ninistration when the estate
was threatened with n disgrace
full litigation, involving a variety
of suits which would have licked
up not only the last dollar going
to the heirs, but also would have
reduced the creditors of the CS-
tate to per cent, but through
the conciliatory course pursued
bv the administrator, Hon.
Horace w. Bailey, an arrange
ment was made which was salts
factory to the heirs and lcgatees,
and the creditors involved, which
left about $4,000 net. The pro-
CeedS of the estate were turned
over to Mr.. NJ. Y. b. Vance,
Guardian of Burt Allen Cutting,
the adopted son of DR.. Cutting.
Thus, through a wise, consistent
and considerable administration
of the estate, has passed away a
disgraccful litigation, and such
an unhealthy sensation as could
be enjoyed only by the lowest in
Stincts of human nature. What
ever may be the trend of some
minds, true courage or manhood
does not find delight in follow
ing an enterprising man into his
grave with Improbable criti-
cism, and especially will each
shudder with adherence at the
prospect of following the silent
dead with envy or malice.

Guilty experienced by the ferryboat So
lano in making her landings at Port
Costa
This difficulty was caused by the vast
accumulation of tule, brush, logs, etc.,
which had been washed down by the high

Rivers and their tributaries, and which
has accumulated about the wharves in
masses SO dense as to interfere with the

reached that point, trouble from this
source will soon be at an end.
The local train, due here at $40 P. NJ.
from san Francisco, did not arrive last
night until half an hour after midnight,
