Another matter in which Mr.. Chitten
dens memory must have led him astray is
as to the cooperation OF Mr.. A. j. Rowell
in this democratic bolt, as Mr.. Rowel was
nominated the week previous by the liberty
party as its candidate for Congress in the
fourth district-the same position which no
hold at the preceding election. 1t is safe to
say that he never affiliated with the demo-
cratic party at any period of his life.
In this connection it might appropriately
be stated that the mass free soil convention,
thus called to meet at MIDI ebury on tho
first OF August was very large and en-
thusiastic, when the following nominations
aud appointments were made: Oscar i.
Shafter for governors; Luke =. Poland for
lieutenant governor; Z. A. Stansbury for
treasurer; for State oolumittee-E. ID. Bar

well, S. II. Price, l.. f. Chitienden, y. w.
Butler; also fourteen delegates were sent to
the Buffalo convention, which nominated
Martin Van Buren, us the free soil candi-
date for the presidency. so large was the
free soil vote at the ensuing State election
that there was choice of State officers by
the people, and the wing cnndidate-Car
Coolidge-was elected by the Legislature 10y

doned farm problem and seek remedy for
the evil, aud nearly every State in the East
he's followed its example with encouraging
results Tho neglected farms called for
more people and overcrowded districts have
already begun to supply tho demand in no
small degree.
While the Office OF commissioner was es-
tablished for the promotion of the growth
of our manufacturing industries as well rs
our agricultural interests, attention was
paid more particularly to the latter because
there was greater need in that direction.
There is now opportunity to benefit Yer
mout's manufacturing interests in mum
Dor of ways, and one OF them was indicated
by a statement by Major Valentine to tho
effect that IL ono thousand men, women
and chill rem we're TO be added at once to
Bennington's population In families profit
able employment could be, given to all the
additional hands, so scarce is labor Of all
kinds in that town. IL some of the sur
plus population could be transferred from
some OF the larger cities to Furnishing
manufacturing towns where the services of
men, women and even children are in active
demand it would be boon to tho city as
well as the industrial town. There is also
a demand for labor in other parts Of the
State, including a considerable call for farm
hands, and what Vermont needs at presen t
is some organized effort or agency to bring
this demand to the attention Of those who
are likely to supply it.
The proper agency for this work would
naturally be an immigration bureau, but in
the absence OF any special provision for
such work in this State, it would undou bt-
edly be we'll for the State Board OF Agrcul-
ture to designate some one of its
members to at least take charge Of
corresT ondence which would fall under
Handicapped by the lack of funds but it
ought to be able to SGT apart small sum
for this work. The growth of manufacture
ing industries in the State will promote
agricultural interests by furnishing an in
creasing home market for farm products,
and other interests would also be benefited
in obvious wavs.
1t is plain that Vermont needs more peo-
pie. There is not city, village or town in
the State which does not reflect this need.
There is u demand for farm laborers, for
good servant girls, for factory and mill
hands, and there are excellent openings in II
great many lines of business, not to men
ton the opportunities and facilities offered
for new industrial enterprises
The State Board OF Agriculture is doing
an excellent work in acquantng the people
Of the State as to their progress, as is shown
by the industrial report in another column;
but its laoors should b, supplemented 10y the
services OF good drummer, as it were,
who will show our attractions as well as
our needs in the lines above indicated to the
public, and thus secure more people for
Vermont.

A single man stands ct the head OF the
Tammany organization and Yields its vast

been under indictment for murder. His

offices like those OF coroner and fire commits

he has bsen able to spend, so the New York
papers say, ,ome $500, 600 the past year on
RAGS horses and he pays tn, manager Of his
stud $4,000 year beside perquisites. How
obsolute,s the power he exercises may be in
ferred from the fact that up to two or
three days before the nomination of (his
henchman) Giroy for mayor of New York
no one not in Mr.. Crokor's inner confidence
had any idea who was to be mayor. There
were no democratic candidates for the office
before the people. All waited till this Tam

As AN illustration of the wide ad vertsing
which Vermont has received as "a result of
the abandoned farm agitation, Hon. A. b.
Valentine Of bennington stated in

not only comprehensive and thorough, but
it was far-rsaching in its results. Vermont

That the British lion and the Russian
bear ars still unable to lie down together is
shown by the fact that the English were
attempting to strengthen the Indian from
tier against tie possibility of Russian en-
croachment when the severe battle with the
tribes beyond Chitral occurred. The British
recently occupied Chilas, near Chitra, with
garrison, and fortified the place with the
intention of holding it permanently. Tho
mountain tribes took offence and made en
attack OF tbs fort, which was bravely de-
Tended by the British, but the tribesmen
finding themselves unable TO resist any
longer submitted. The rssult''ot the strug-
gle greatly strengthens the British position
at what was considered its weakest poin t
in the vicinity Of the Hindu Kusn. 1t now
remains to be seen in what direction the
Russian bear will next show its teeth.

1twas demonstrated at the recent road con
yention in this city that Brattleb oro was
easily the banner town in the State in the
matter Of general road Improvement, and it
appears that that enterprising town pro-
poses to maintain its record in this respect.
Having made e special appropriation one
year ago of $40, 600 for stone-crusher
plant for macadamizing its roads, it has
continued the good work this year by ap-
propriating $4,000. which, with the regular
tax, will give it $4,000 for the improvement
of its highways Brsttleboro's road build
ing is OF permanent character and at the
end of half e dozen years it will probably
be able to boast of the finest highways OF

1t is possible that the opening OF the
worlds fair will be the signal for the be-
ginning OF one OF the most bitter OF labor
struggles. The switchmen, according to
advices from Chicago, have yielded, but the
railroad managers are distrustful fearing
that the employees will wait until the lines
are crowded with visitors to the worlds fair
and then strike. Forewarned is forearmed,
however, and although it may entail a
large expense upon the railroads they will
undoubtedly be prepared to fill tho places
OF striking employees with ''extras."

Our Senators and the Committees.
By the projected reorganization OF the
Senate under democratic rule Senators
Morrill, and Proctor have been allotted re
spousible places in the committee assign
ments. Senator Morrill, is given the chair
manship OF the select committee on addi-
tiona Accommodations for the library of Con-
gr sss, position for which he is emiuently
qualified by his e1per.o zee, services and in
tsrest in the project indicated. Mr.. Morrill,
10 also a member of tho committee on civil
service and ret-enchment and OF the
committee on finance, OF the latter Of which
he was SO long the efficient chairman.
Senator Proctor has o chairmanship, being
younger in servic, than many OF his col
leagues, but he is member OF the commit
tee on agriculture and forestry, on the Dis
trict OF Columbia, on organization, conduct
and expenditures of tina executive depart
ments, on immigration, and a member Of
the select committee to investigate the Po-
tomac river front of Washington. In view
OF the fact that they are in tho minority, it
can be from this summary that both
OF Nermont's distinguished senators have
Jared very handsomely at the hands Of their
political opponents.

Russia appears to be suffering more than
its share of calamity. Cholera is said to be
making its way north from the delta of the
Ganges, the same route by which it entered
Europe last season. This invasion of Rus
sian territory comes at time when it must
prove mere than ordinarily dreadful. The
BLACK plague is now devastating Russia
in the southeast, while the north and west
OF that Inflated land is still suffering from
the consequences OF last years. famine. Still
other sections ara menaced by another crop
failure, and by ths naladies that stalk on
famine's heels. These calamities together
with the nihlist plot. must serve to make
Russia indeed terror land.
