dispose of his miscellaneous assortment
oflsubscription payments would undoubted-
ly make a volume of the most interesting
kind of reading. While the exchange ofton
served to supply the needs of the editors
family it was not a success as a clearance
house. 1t was found that.'cord wood, pota-
toes and various farm products could not
very we'll be sold by sample and the ex-
change quite naturally gave place to the
cash system In all progressive newspaper
offices.
While we do not desire to discourage the
good women who are endeavoring to build
up an exchange for the promotion of woman's
rights in Vermont, we feel that it will be doing
them service to point out the difficulties
which will attend their attempt to revive
the exchange system. Toe local commit
tees are requested to solicit donation and
secure customers for goods without expense
in transportation so far as possible" but no
direction is given as to the manner in which
this Is to be accomplished. II sack of
potatoes, a barrel of apples, tub of butter,
a quarter OF beef, II table, a wheelbarrow
or other product Of the farm or shop were
from a resident of Benning ton, for instance,
and sold to q resident Of Brattleboro, the
freight would DO an important consld-
GRAFTON, and we can very readily see
how the ladies of the exchange might
find successful competitor. in the home
market. People have not yet learned to
take kindly to buying pig in bag. y
and it will be found difficult to show u full
line of samples Of the widely varied assort-
ment which may possibly find place in the
"exchango.n But even II it were possible
to provide n local committee in every one
of the 2A3 towns in the State with we'll
stocked sample case, it would be necessary
still to consider the fact that there are very
few successful female drummers in exist
ence
These are fow OF the many obstacles in
the way of the Newport project, and we
canddly advise the members of the Wo-
mans Suffrage association of Vermont to
sell the stock of contributions which they
have on hand as soon as possible and fol-
low the example OF the newspapers by dis
carding tho exchange for the cash system
of receiving subscriptions.

a Woman Suffrage EXCHANGE

The good ladies Of the finance COMMITTEES
Of the Vermont Woman Suffrage association
are instituting project to aid in the pro-
motion OF the interests Of their cause, which
they have named an exchange" and In an
address to "the friends of equal rights in
Vermont they invite all who are interested
in the enfranchisement Of women to aid in
this work by making contributions. The
friends OF the cause are invited to donate
useful or fancy articles, products of farm
or shop, goods OF any or all kinds The
headquarters OF the exchange have been
established at Newport and orders are soil
cited from those who desire to purchase
any OF the contributions sent to the ex-
change. The proceeds, says the address,
twill be used to further the object for
which the association was organized, name
ly: the repeal of the law, might make
right, and in its place to substitute the
golden rule SO broadened in its application

The energetic women who have under
taken the task OF conducting this exchange
are to be commended for their zeal and en-
terprise but the chances are that they will
be woefully disappointed in the amount OF

betterng their condition. Thoy may secure
moro land for their money than they had
before but the rate par cent Of their in
come therefrom is likely to be far
less in proportion than they were realiz-
ing before, not to mention the discomforts
and disadvantages OF settling in a new
country far removed from the various IA
ciities and epjoyments which go so far
to make lifo worth living. They hope to
better their condition financially to a suf-
Gclent degree to compensate themselves for
the deprivatons and discomiorts which
they undergo, but in many cases they not
only renounce their former comforts and
privileges, but they also deplete their avail
able funds. Not 80 much Is heard of this
class OF Western immigrants as of those
who have been successful, for people are
not SO fond OF telling of their misfortunes
as of their successes.
Vermont has welcomed number OF her
wandering sons home again after varied ad-
ventures in the farming districts of the
West, and while the tale of one who has failed
is more than likely to be colorod by that fact,
it is evident from their stories that there is
rain bow chasing" in the pursuit Of farming
lands as we'll rs in politics. The attractions
OF city life and the factory system of in
dustries are not to be held responsible for
the decRdence Of the rural districts in
New England altogether. Much of the best
Of our young blood and capital has been
attracted by the wonderful tales and the
booming methods of the West, aud the
rural communities of every other State in
the East have suffered In like manner. Their e
are indications that this tide of population
has reached its limit and is beginning to
flow back again, and with this flow may
como brighter days for all the rural dis
trcts of New England.

The House In the closing hours of the SEES
sion took a step which, as Mr.. Holman re-
marked is strongly suggestive of tho famous
salary grab 10 the AID Congress. This was
the adoption Of joint resolution providing
that after April l every member shall be
supplied with a clerk whose salary shall he
paid out Of the treasury. Tho estimated
cost of this luxury for the coming Congress
is over 1888 900. Yet this House, with its
democratic majority of nearly $50, has
protested an intense desire to make a
record for economy Mr.. Holman said:

One Phase of the Rural Hesira.

new phase Of the problem regarding
the flow OF rural population has appeare d
In Illinois. 1t is stated that farmers in the
Prairie State have discovered that il
is possible for than to sail their
farms for two or three times as
much as farms can be bought for in
the far northwest. That is TO say, a
man with quarter section Of Illinois land
can sell it for enough to get half section in
the Rocky Mountain country, pay for tran
sportatlon, and retain a margin. The ex-
tent to which this discovery 10 causing tho
rural population Of Illinois to change is ct
stated, but the movement is not likely to
continue long after the returns are received
from the van guard of the h.gra to the
RAINBOW country"
There are SO many reasons why land
should be dearer in the vicinity OF Chi
cage or Springfield, or any other city in
the West or East, than in the comparative.
ly new sections OF the Northwest, and sc
many more possible reasons why 1t nigh
be valued higher, that it is a cause for
wonder that a consideration OF this sort can
be sufficient OF itself to induce fairly sue

Good living

doesn't come from riches. Il comes first,
and brings riches. While the poor
man walks, he will stay poor. His
prosperity begins when he rides,
and eats a good dinner, and carries
q good watch. A "poor" watch is
the very badge OF poverty, worse
than none; but either condition is
too expensive for poor man he
can't afford to lose the time of day.
Keeping that under his thumb, he
may yet he wealthy. Then comes
true economy: diamonds for his
wife; man to guard them. But

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

President Cleveland as he did eight years
ago, delivered his inaugural address with
out the aid of notes-a feat that has been
attempted only by one of his predecessors,
Pierce. He followed, word for word, the
copy furnished to the press, emitting moth
ing, adding nothing. The delivery was
marked by the utmost sslf-posssssion. The
presidents voice could distinctly be heard
at distance of 500 yard, notwithstanding
tine high wind that was blowing at the
time. lie stood uncovered the most OF the
time, one of his ungoved hands holding his
hat the other resting easily in the poke t
OF his overcoat.
When the freshly installed vics-president
delivered his inaugural address, he was
plainly nervous, and in the reading of his
speech showed great unstsadiness and en-
barrassment of manner. His reference to
the Senate as "the most august deliberative
body in the world" the phrase being pro-
nounced with unnecessary emphasis, brought
a general smile to the faces OF his hearers,
and made the Senate itself feel rather I'M
comfortable. For the rest, however, the
address was kindly received.
