The main question to be settled be.

The House Repeals.

The bill repeating the purchase
clause of the Sherman Act passed the
national house of representatives on
Monday by the emphatic vote of 240
yeas to 100 nays, majority that far
exceeds the most sanguine expectations
of the friends of repeal. Each pro-
posed amendment of the bill was voted
down by heavy majorities. Upon the
amendment providing for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of sixteen to
one, the vote was, yeas, 124; nays, 225.
Upon the question of free coinage at
the ratio of seventeen to one, the vote
was, yeas, 100, nays, 240; upon the
proposed ratio of eighteen to one, yeas,
l02, nays, 239; upon the ratio of
nineteen to one, yeas, 105, nays, 237;
upon the ratio of twenty to one, yeas,
119, nays, 222; upon the amendment
reviving the act of 1878 the vote was,
yeas, 1876, nays, 2l3. The Wilson bill
Internationally repeating the silver
purchase clause of the act of 1890 was
then taken up and passed as stated
above. The decisiveness of the vote is
an omen of good.
The voice of the representatives, so
emphatically spoken, so responsive to
the demands of the people themselves,
must have a powerful influence upon
the senators. If there has ever been
any question as to the action of the
senate in the matter of repeal, the vote
of the house should utterly dissipate
that doubt. The country looks to the
senate speedily to pass the house bill
and thus settle conclusively the finan-
cial part of the existing problem. If
congress would then indicate its pur-
pose to leave the industrial laws of
the country substantially unchanged,
there would be the beginning of a re-
vival of confidence and business that
would end in the early restoration of
the prosperity that blessed this country
few short months ago.

A GOOD democratic farmer in Orange
county declined to sell his clip of wool
year ago. He preferred to keep it
till Cleveland was elected and the price
under democratic reign should advance
to thirty cents pound. He has his
wool yet, and with it the clip of the
present year. Cleveland is president,
but wool is not selling for thirty cents.
On the contrary, it is worth about half
of thirty cents, and with his republican
brother the democratic wool raiser
mourns the triumph Of the democracy.

The recent national election in
France has resulted in an increased
republican majority in the national
legislature. Again French republi-
cansm, victorious over iaperialists,
monarchists, and all its enemies, has
indicated the stability of the republic.
All the glamour of the surrounding
kingdoms and empires, all the plots
and intrigues of the foes of popular
government, have not availed to over
throw the republic. French republic
canism, matured by the battles it has
fought and won in the past twenty
years, is a well-established fact. The
republic has come to stay, and all the
people say amen.

The democratic papers, seeming out
the disaster that was upon the country
after the last national election, and be-
ing DESTROYS of charging it to some
other party than their own, trained all
their guns upon the Sherman act. Mr..
Reed wac in favor of repeal, first, be-
cause it will tend to restore confidence
to the people and in some measure help
us out of the first difficulties of our po-
sition; and, second, when the time
comes it will assist us in the upward
path to the next period of prosperity
and progress.
He does not consider that the question
whether there is to be double stand
ard or single standard is in the pres
ent issue. The continuance of the
purchase of silver under the Sherman
act the world would regard as declar-
alton that we intended, ultimately, to
place ourselves upon silver basis.
With six hundred million dollars in
circulation, we can hardly be mono
metallic nation. All the propositions
for a change of ratio are untenabe.
We could not maintain any other ratio
than sixteen to one without the aid of
the rest of the world; therefore, the
path of duty is unconditional repeal.
That will give relief or it will not. If
not, then we must try something else.
Mr. Reed closed with the following
glowing eulogy of the republican party's
record and prophecy of its returned
power:
I'VE stand in very peculiar position, we
republicans, to-day. The representative of
the democratic party just chosen president
of the United States, finds himself power
less in his first great recommendation to his
own party Were he left to their tender
mercies, the country would witness the
spectacle of the president Of its choice over
thrown by the party charged with this
country's government. What wonder, then,
that lie appeals to the patriotism of another
party whose patriotism has never been APP
The proudest part of the proud record of
the republican party has been its steadfast
devotion to the cause of sound finance.
When this country was tempted to pay is
bonds in deprecated money, the republic
can party responded with loud acclaim to
that noble sentiment of General Hawley
that every bond was as sacred as a soldiers
grave. 1t cost us hard fighting and sore
struggle but the credit of this country has
no superior in the world. When the same
arguments heard to-day were heard fifteen
years ago, sounding the praises of depre-
ciated currency and proclaiming the glories
of fiat money, the party of Abraham Lin
coin marched steadily toward specie pay
ments and prosperity. What we were in
our days of victory we are in our days of
defeat, champions of true and solid finance,
and when the day comes, as it surely will
paths of prosperity and fame, which were
trodden under republican rule for so many
years, we shall take back with US our
ancient glory undimmed by adversely, our
ancient honor unsullied by defeat"
Even the democrats could not re-
frain from contributing their share to
the longcontinued applause that fol-
lowed the closing sentence of what
Bourke Cochran, the democratic orator,
declared was the greatest speech he ever
heard in the house of representatives

GUESTS of the Summit House, Mount
Washington, last week Thursday night,
were treated to an experience not down in
summer guide books. Early in the even
ing the wind shifted into the northwest, and
at ten o'clock was blowing a stiff breeze.
From that hour it steadily rose until 2: 80
Friday morning, when it reached its maxi
mum, not less than $50 miles an hour. The
Summit House trembled from top TO bot
tom, and chimney went down with a
crash, but no great damage was done. II

place In midsummer within the last seven

After nights rest under the paternal

ternate riding and walking, the height of
land between Williamstown and Mortified

Charles Davenport, who, in reply to the
query Anything of INTEREST,"" said, 81
have the best milestone ledge in Vermont"
This assertion aroused the interest of the
reporter at once, and, in company with
Charles, the lodges in question were visited.
One ledge belongs to Whitney Brothers and
has been worked some by individuals The
other, apparently of better texture and
grit, is on the land of Mr.. Davenport 1t
appears in a vein one and one-half feet
thick and extends as far as the ledge is WIS.,
ible-eighty rods or more. Parties who are
experts in the milestone business say it is
of superior quality and that grindstones can
easily be quarried. Why do not some men
hereabouts, who have money to invest look
about them, and instead OF sending their
money west with uncertain security, in
vest it at home and develop home indus
tries? Here is chance, only three miles
