bosses in one convention have evidently not
been lulied into submission nor are they
sleeping. They are merely "lying low"
Unfortunately for our forgetful or
meudacious contemporary there Is 'inter-
nal evidence" within its own party lines,
IL not in its own columns, of the existence
of democratic factions in the State.
The democratic Brattleboro Reformer,
which is the most uncompromsing
enemy OF the democratic bosses and
Of the Montpelier organ, distinctly
recognizes the continued division of the
party in It's issue of last Friday. 1t quotes
the statement SIN the Rutland News that
Certain influences antagonistic to tho At.
kins faction, were brought to bear on the
president, which prevented the appointment
of Gen. T. j. Boynton OF Montpelier to be
fourth assistant postmaster general and de-
MES that the faction which it represents
'interposed the first objection or OBJ
stece to MIR. Boyntons appointment.
In conclusion the Reformer makes the
significant statement that Furthermore,
the element OF the party to which the News
alludes is not In the business of wrangliug
over OllCeb NV lIls ychl VI uhN Oluei
year
This ought to satisfy the Argus that the
Reformer and its followers are still not re-
constructed, but if it persists in doubling the
testimony OF its own columns and those Of
its democratic rival let it noto how many
leaders of the fight against Messrs. Atkins
and Smslley during the past four years re
ceive desirable offices during the present re-
distribution
The Argus may take the ground that the
democratic revolt in Vermont was not
aimed at Col Smulley, but against the late
chairman of the democratic state commit
tee, but if it will again consult its back
numbers it will find that a favorite position
with it was that the attacks upon its pro-
pretor wore directed against Col. Smalley
| as well, and this was one OF the arguments
used to impart greater zeal to the latter s
friends in resisting the attacks upon the
democratic machine. Under the crcum-
stances it will hardly do for our Montpelier
contemporary TO try to represent both fac
tons of its party in Vermont; for in trying
to perform this political double bareback
! riding act it may fall to the ground.

Burlington's new city government was in
augursted Monday, and for the first time
in almost two decades the direction OF our
municipal affairs is in the hands of our dem
ocratic friends. As was expected would be
the case the accession of the democratic
party to power was celebrated by an al
most entirely clean sweep Of the repub
licans who held the city Offices, and
the filing Of their places with dem
ocrats. An exception was made IN
the case of the city clerkship. Charles
Z. Allen has discharged the exact
ing duties Of this office in a manner entirely
satisfactory to the citizens of Burlington
without regard to party, and his superior
qualifications for the position secured for
him the handsome and deserved compliment
of reelection by tho unanimous voice of
the City Council,
In view Of the fact that the republicans,
while in power, had kept Frank f. Perkins,
a democrat, at the head of the fire depart
ment for long period of time, it was sup
posed by many that Chief Engineer Murray,
who had barely entered upon tine duties Of
the position, would receive some consldera
ton at the hands of the democratic
members of the council, but in this they
were doomed to disappointment. In add
ton to deprivng our French Canadian
citzsns of an efficient and deserving repre-
sentative in this position, the democrats are
thus guilty of introducing politics into the
management of our worthy fire department.
While the council elected several notorious
democrats to city otiices-notably i. ri,
Sutton, the new street commissioner-it
should in justice be stated that in Mr., Mower
as city treasurer, aud w. L. Hal
as water commissioner, they selected
as strong and capable business
men as could probably be found in tn,
democratic party in Burlington. The
Council also deserves credit for ignoring
party lines in the election Of r. E. Brown
as grand juror and Mr.. Mcintosh as city
engineer but it is more than probable tina
this apparent indication of lack of partisan
ship on the part OF our democratic friend,
is to be attributed to lack OF available ma
terial for these positions inside of the dem
ocratic ranks.
Mayor Haselton makes u number OF i'm
portant recommendations in relation to tn
| various departments In his message. Thos
in regard to the improvement Of the waite
works of the city aud the provision Of be,
ter quarters for the Fletcher library wi
commend themselves to all public spirite
and rightthinking people. The members
all parties are interested in the progress an
prosperity Of our city, and in all efforts /
the right direction the new city governmer
will have the support and cooperation
all good citizens.

Young Democrats Lying Low.

1t is perfectly evident that our democrat
tc contemporary, the Montpelier Argus, is
either thoroughly deceived in relation to
the condition of its party in this State, or
else 1t 10 exhibiting the most stupendous eff
frontery and gall in attempting to deceive
the public. In reply to the question as to
which faction, If any, OF the democratic
party in Vermont it represents, it says that
it 'leaves any claims concerning factions TO
ths FREE PRESS aud those other republican
newspapers in whose imaginatlons the fac
lions exist
Our genial contemporary seems to have
forgotten much during the few months
which have passed since the democratic
State convention was held in Vermont, but
fortunately it has the means at command
for fully informing itself as to tho political
situation inside its own party before ana
after that notorious event. II the contem-
porary will take the trouble to CON
suit its own files for last May and
June it may possibly be able to discover in
ternal evidence, es it were, of the existence
cf factions in the democratic party In this
State 1t will learn that the leaders OF
these respective factions were literally fall
ing upon each others necks, but they were
not weeping tears of brothery love- or re-
pentence, much less of joy, On the contrary
they were INDUCING in the most unqualified
abuse OF each other and it required
no Imagination whatever to discover that a
bitter fractional fight had divided the YER
mont democrats into two intensely hostile
camps.
Possibly the Argus will claim that the
hetchet has been buried and that the
democratic party in Vermont is again united
and happy But it must not assume
that the anti-boss democrats are foolish
enough to kick against the pricks and es
pecially when there Is any possibility oi
government pap failing to them from the
hand which dispensss the federal patronage

The FREE PRESS covers the ground very
completely, aud It's article will be read with
interest We are satisfied that the ditilcul-
ties under the new law will be found, in
actual practice, to be of much less magni-
tude than is now anticipated. Those who
have studied thu case tue most thoroughly
are satisfied that, upon trial. the law Will
work smooth y, without trouble or litiga-
tion and to the ultimate S station OF all.
There can be doubt We think, that it
will be both Illegal and uuwise for any dis
trict having n surplus on hand to divide IT
among the taxpayers at the present time.
1t Is the opinion OF the best authorities on
this subject that any movement looking
toward such a division will be full of dan
ger, and the wise cours, will be to take the
governors advice and go slow This in
equality or in justice to the small DISTRICTS
to which the FREE PRESS alludes, will be
very slight as will he seen on remembering
that it will apply, not against any district
individually, but against the towns as L
whole or a single district.
Although requested to do so, Gov. Fuller
has declined to ask the judges of the Su
preme Court to construe the law, believing
that no exigency exists which requires suci
| action.

RursI improvement Societies.
From the Mildlebury Kegister.l

Rural improvement societies, 30 called,
were organized in Vermont villages or 10
years ago. Some of them are still alive
and doing active work, while the effects of
every one of them are to be seen. The re-
suit OF organizing them was to lead house
holders to clean up their premises, NOW the
roadsides, paint their buildings and brush up
generally.
Why might not the same sort Of orsaui-
cation produce similar Improvement in the
regions outside the villages We see no
reason why it should not. II the immediate
outcome of the formation Of society were
nothing more than TO induce one man In q
school district to clean up bis surroundings,
that would be worth the while. But the
movement would not end there AS soor
as the added attractiveness of this one
mans belongings were seen, the most o.
his neighbors would follow suit, and thu
untidy place would become rarity. Tha
is how it worked in the villages.

The gypsey moth is an imported insect,
brought from Europe fow years ago to
the Massachusetts coast near Boston.
1t is peculiarly dangerous and destructive
pest, is as voracious as the army
worm, multipiss with tremendous rapid
ity, feeds through the entire sum
mer, devours the foliage of nearly all trees,
both evergreen and deciduous, and almost
all bushes, vines and vegetables; and, as it
spins no nest or web, like that OF the
tent caterpillar, its presence is often
not discovered till its ravagss be-
come suddenly overwhelming in the
orchard garden or grove. In 1889 the
attention OF the scientists of the United
States experiment station in Massachusetts
was called to the presence OF this insect in
great numbers in the town OF Msdford,
Mass. 1t then occupied an area about O
mile and half long by half q mile wide in
that town, withln which it destroyed every
green thing Ia 1890 it was known to exist
In eight towns in tlat vicinity; the next
year it infested marty towns in Middlesex
and Essex counties. Last year. owing tc
effective State action, the moth was not
only confined within the limits OF these
thirty towns, but was wholly exterminated
in over 200 localities in them and the in
tested area was 80 reduced that the entire

A large number Of the towns have allotted
ceiyed from the United States deposit fund,
on the ground that the districts of such
towns have earned this money by fulfilling
the conditions OF existing laws and need the
money TO pay the expenses Of their schools.
If it was right for these towns and districts
to do this, it is presumably right for ali
other town and districts in the State to fol
low their example, but this is the point
which Is in question. Some OF the districts
have also divided the surplus money which
they had on hand, with the understanding
that it shall be refunded in case such divis-

the new school law. Ex-State Superintsn-
dent Palmer presents his ideas in another
column, and while his experience ought to
qualify him to speak advisedly on the points

towns will feel secure in taking any action
under those provisions Of the law which are
uncertain In meaning or scope until the Su-
preme Court has an opportunity to interpret
the passages in question.

are not to be depended on, under the pres
eut condition of the general sugar market,
tho farmers of the State will doubtless be
able to place a great deal of the delicious
product, and at a fairly good figure, esps-
