Democrats Already Uo,o

| The Montpelier Argus, which seem, to
have fallen back upon the choice and deli
cate language of the gutter snips since it
dropped its claim to spiritual sditorshipn
for mere spirituous mouthings, is Iaboring
under tho delusion that the republicans have
no other aim than to put the democrats in
hole. The gentle hammered and sweet
tempered contemporary is conspicuously in
error. There is no occasion for the repub-
| licans to work in this direction at all. The
democrats are in a hole already, and what
IS more, they deliberately walked into the
yawning pit with their eyes wide open.
That this Is the predicament OF our demo-
cratic friends isshown by tho fact that Presi-
deaf Cleveland Is confessedly depending upon
the republicans in Congress to help him and
his party out OF hole, ana also by the fact
that many democratic journals are enlarcinp
upon the 'nty Of the republicans to lay aside
all part = considerations following Il good
democra lie precedent and asa.st them to
stay the free silver deluge within their own
party. The great ma jority of the republi-
cans can be trusted to do all in their mower
to promote every measure which will tend
to advance the best interests OF our country,
even If they thereby do help the democrats
out OF hole

The fact that several insurance compa-
MICS have withdrawn from Vermont and
that others are contemplating such move,
mas caused some criticism of their officers.
In 1891 the premiums paid in Vermont
amounted to $474, 437; losses, S522, $50;
per cent of losses to premiums, 1l0.7. In
1872 the premiums were $532, 101; losses,

The execution of Taylor at Auburn was
very horribly bungled, and the scene was
very shocking to the spectators; but there
Is no reason to suppose that altar the first
contact there was any conscious suffering
on the part of the victim. A bunglsd exc
cution by electricity is thus made to seem
more tolerable than buugled hanging, in
which the suffering has often amounted to
a protracted torture. No excuse ought to
DO accepted for not making sure that death

We certainly hope that the choice will
fall upon DR.. Carey, who has long been one
OF the hardest and foremost workers in his
church. Living at the summer capital,
Saratoga, he has made friends and a follow
ing in all parts of the country, and they
would rejoice ut his promotion. 1t is
seldom, indeed, that any Clergyman labors
so assiduously in the performance Of pas
toral duties. A favorts with the wealthy
and in society. he nevertheless spends a
large share OF his time in visiting the sick
and the poor, who look upon him as n yer
liable good angel. An accomplished theo-
Logan who ranks high as scholar, the
wonder is when he gets time to study, as
in addition to extensive ministerial func-
tions he has a large and interesting family
which naturally make large drafts upon
his time as well as purse.
The Herald we'll says that il working
bishop is wanted, Dr. Carey is the man.
He personitles industry. and il elevated to
the Bishopic he would be- ambitious to do
great work In the upbuilding of the church.
1t is pleasing to know that the proba bilites
strongly point to him az "the coming
