The friends of civil service reform
are glad to know that the civil service
system has been extended to cover all
postofiices having free delivery, and
the employees of the Weather Bureau.
1t was wise plan to extend the SER

horde of ofiice-seekers arrives. Civil
service is now well fixed in the popular
mind and no Congress will dare to go
against it. We are slowly but surely
getting away from the spoils system.

Are You Going to the Worlds Fair?

If so, do not buy any accommoda-
tions in advance, taking duebill or a

There will be no trouble whatever
about getting accommodations when
you get there. The State OF Vermont

accommodations all the way from Sl.50

find all right, for people from this

say to beware OF these advance pay

them. There are first-class places that

Another Of our prominent men, and
one of the most strikingly peculiar in
his mental makeup, has just died
Gen. Benjamin +. Butler. He was a
shrewd lawyer and politician, and has
played prominent part in our politi-

Greenback Presidential candidate in
1884, his political career practically
came TO an end.

The atteRtion of all lovers Unpopular
government is now fixed upon France
and the perils through which she is
passing. Such revelations of fraud
and corruption, seemingly undermine
ing the whole structure OF the govern
ment, may well cause people to hold
their breath in horror and wonder what
the end will be. The fall of DeLesups
was great shock to everyone, and the
revelations which followed of wide
spread fraud and corruption among
public men surpass anything in histo-
ry. The greatest excitement prevails
everywhere in France, and every one
tears-he hardly knows what. France
has passed through so many crises and
brayely weathered so many storms that
we hope she may now find brave men
and true who will stand by the helm
and safely guide the ship of State. And
surely America, to whom she has al
ways been such a friend, viii always
stand by her.

One of the greatest errors of our
land, Mormonism, has at last, we may
thankfully say, been gotten rid Of.
Public opinion has accomplished, as
It generally will, what the law failed to
DO. As the Independent" ays,"The
twin relics of barbarism, slavery and
Polygamy, are now destroyed" This
change has been brought about, to a
great extent, by the settling of Gentiles
IN Utah, and the strict enforcement of
The laws against polygamy. Thepres-
sure Of public opinion, backed by law,
has led the Mormon church to revise
some of her revelations and discard
Polygamy altogether. The President
mas Just issued a proclamation of am
nesty to all Mormons who have been
convicted, and who promise TO obey
The laws of this country. There Is now
no reason why Utah should not receive
statehood but it would be better to
~sls awhile and see if this good fit
lasis.

The sugar makers OF the State have
formed an association for the purpose
Of making an exhibit at the Worlds
Fair and to protect themselves and
consumers from the manufacture of
spurious maple sugar, which is sold as
the genuine article. That there is
need Of such an association has long
been manifest. There will be meet
ing at Burlington Friday, Feb. Sd, at
ten O'Clock, and every one who makes
maple sugar or syrup to sell ought to
attend. The only thing of the kind in
the State now is the Sugar Exchange
at Brattleboro, which is private COM
pany. This is an association to which
every sugar maker may belong, and
-ene that is working for the good of ev-
sryone who makes sugar in the State.
The constitution and bylaws will be
adopted at the Burlington meeting.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-If you will kindly gram
me space in your valuable paper TO reply tc
clicks" who sends you the ''Colora Items, )
| shall consider it a favor, and will be as
brief as possible.
Your issues of July 14th and Dist have
been sent to me to-day. and notice that
clicks" has given me, personally, the
credit for the success of the festival at Mt
Pleasant on July 4th, and intimates that the
display offireworks was furnished by myself
Kindly allow me to make correction. The
success of the festival was due to the undi.
vided efforts of ALL the members of our
League, each member of which worked
earnestly and faithfully for its success.
which was accomplished thereby; and the
fireworks were paid for by public subscrip
ton, the names of doners and amounts
donated being read at the meeting of our
League on July 15ih.
In your issue of the 21st inst. the same
correspondent states that "the receipts from
festival were about $4,000, the expenses
were about $4,000 and the net receipts were
about $50 or $780," that ''the net receipts
don't seem high" and asking will some
one explain why %
Mr.. Editor, there seems to be an insin-
uation of something in this, which J., as
Chairman, do not care 10 let pass without an
answer as public as is the question. The
simple answer Is that everyone received full
value for everything they purchased, for
instance, peanuts, which are generally sold
at cents a bag were sold for 8 cents,
oranges sold at cents each, lemonade sold
2 glasses for cents, and everything was
sold on the same ratio. Another reason is,
there were no lotteries, chances, or beggings
of any description allowed at the festival.
I do not know who clicks" is, but l
trust this explanation will satisfy him,
however. should it not, desire to say for
his benefit, that there were witnesses to the
collecting and counting of all moneys,
receipted bills taken for all moneys expend-
ed, and the itemized report was audited and
compared with the receipts, by committee
appointed for that purpose, and had
Hicks" been at the meeting Of our League
on the 18th inst, he need not have asked
this public question.
The receipts OF the festival were $15S.70
Expenses 9244
Net receipts $66.26
Thanking you for this space so kindly
given me, am, Resp'y. yonrs,
H. M. Brown,
Chairman of Committee.

Valuable Information for Bankers,
or Those Interested in Banks.

The New York Financier will shortly
publish table which it designates a
Roll of Honor of the National Banks
of the United States" This table will
be very valuable at this time, for the
reason that it contains the name of
each bank IN the National system
which has surplus and I'm divided
profits account in excess of its capital
The compilation is from the last an
nual report of the Comptroller of the
Currency, and out of 3,775 banks re-
porting, $40 are entitled to place on
the "Roll." Besides showing the
capital, surplus and profits of each
bank in tabulated form, according to
their percentage of surplus and profits
to capital, the list will show in accom-
panying columns the relative order of
each bank in the National system for
the year previous, also its order among
the National banks of the State and
city where located. 1t will also show
the percentage of gain in surplus and
profits for the year, as we'll as the gain
for the previous year.
Tie Financier is the organ of the Natio-
nal Banking System, and hopes by
publishing the Roll of Honor" at this
time to allay in measure the appre-
hension under which the people are
laboring, and restore the confidence
that the system deserves.
To those who are studying our fnan-
cial system. the number of The Financier
containing the above indicated informa-
ton will be very valuable as fair and
truthful statement of the large profits
which banking yields. Many who
have given no thought to the matter if
they would send for the Finan.ier con-
tanning the "Roll of Honor" would be
astonished at the fabulous sums the
people pay the banks for distributing
their money, and doing so simple
business as banking.

letters "U. s. over the words "silver
certificate" are slightly raised. The
note does not seem to have been
handled much.
