HILL's "BRANpINc IRON ;,

Senator Hill of New York" SAYS the
Transcript, sis now one of the most con-
spicuous and interesting characters in
| our politics. He is the only Democrat
IN the senate who dares to resist the CON
| federate cabal and defend the principles
of the Democratic party as declared in
It's last national convention. Every
Democratic senator except Hill has
abandoned the Chicago platform, and
i! broken the pledges made to the people
before the election. Cleveland is guilty
of the same treachery and is waiting to
sign tariff bill that contains all the
abuses he has denounced, bill that was
framed at the dictation of the sugar
trust and gives to that colossal monopoly
special privileges and enormous profits.
This is the first time in our history,
when the leaders of a great party boldly
repudiate and vote down, after election
the principles that they advocated IN the
canvass: The men who denounced pro-
lection "as robbery" as "unconsUitution-
al and fraud" vote a duty of forty per
cent. on sugar, eighty per cent. on rice
and high tariffs on all southern products.
This is not only shameless abandon
ment of their professions and pledges.
but an unparalleled exhibition of sec
tional selfishness."
The New York Press report saws:
Senator Hills arraignment of his own
party for its abandonment of professed
principles and rejection of the platform
which it had used to "bunco'' the Amer
lean people, was cutting, because it was
replete with unwelcone truth, Hill had
the Bourbons and their Northern syco-
plants helplessly coralled, and he didn't
spare the branding iron. 1t was a very
hot iron, and left permanent and pain
full mark. Senator Hill seems to forget,
however, that the Democracy is consist
ent only when inconsistent; that it has
adopted platform after platform, only TO
abandon them, and has been, in turn,
the willing agent of slavery and treason,
of native treachery and foreign greed.
Democratic adoption of the income tax
simply shows that the Democracy, after
being ground in the mortar of rebellion,
is still the same laundering, unprin-
cipled, un-American party as in the days
when Democratic conspirators plotted in
Cabinet and Congress against the life of
the Republic.

The French National Congress met
Wednesday and elected ex-Premier CAST
mir Perier on the first ballot, with a de-
cisive majority. There were scenes in
caucus, preceding, that the dispatches
call riot, but, when the Deputies and
Senators got down to business there was
little delay. The Troy Times voices
American sentiment when it saws: 1The
choice indicates general belief in his
fitness for the place and confidence that
he Will take up the work where IL was
left by President Carnot and administer
the government in the interest of the
people. The new president has had long
service in public life. His record is
good, and he has been in such close
sympathy with the Carnot rule that no
radical changes are likely. A new presi-
dent was to have been elected next De-
cember, but the assassination of Carnot
made an immediate election necessary.
and M. Casimir-Perier will hold the Of
fee for the regular term of seven wears.
France will be safe under his adminis-
tration, and the Anarchists viii find that
the murder of president has done
nothing toward advancing their cause

and half comprehended in most North
ern communities, but the idleness, the
poverty, the despair which the mere
menace of free trade brings are a living,
breathing presence by millions of hum
BILE firesides from Maine to Oregon. Sc
cession struck at the life of the Nation;
free trade strikes at the life of the peo-
pie. 1t is not strange, therefore, that
the popular remonstrance should be
stronger and fiercer in 1894 than in 1860,
and that the political party which has
aroused the outburst should be in more
imminent peril of extinction.
Will the Democratic politicians heed
the danger signals, and abandon, before
it is too late, the mad policy which Is
dragging them to ruin? Or will history
record that the Democratic party sur.
vived secession only to destroy itself
with free trade, and that Grover Cleve-
land did what Jefferson Davis was una
BILE to accomplish?-Boston Journal.

THE DEMOCRATIC EXTREMITY.

1t has been the boast of Democratic
leaders that the Democratic party was
immortal. 1t is true that with one
change of name but several changes of
principles, this old, if not venerable, or
ganization has existed for more than a
hundred years. 1t is true that within
this century it has witnessed the birth
and the death of several powerful antag-
Onists. When the ardent Democrat re-
fleets upon the fate of the Federal party
and the Wings, it is not surprising, per-
haps, that he should believe that the
Democracy is destined to defy the as
saults of time forever but he should not
permit himself to be unduly puffed up
with the pride which is the harbinger of
destruction and the naughty spirit which
goeth before a fall.
For there are ominous signs that the
Democracy's turn has now come to fol-
low its dead and gone predecessors, and
that in the words of one of its most gift
ed seers and sages, it is already march
ing through slaughter house into an
open grave. 1t is the unvarnished truth
that never in the memory of the present
generation have the evidences of the
Democracy's early and complete dissolu-
tion been so manifest. Not even the
taint of treason was so potent to blight
the Democratic vitality as the virus of
free trade. When Massachusetts,, into
which ever since the war a great flood of
Democratic immigration has been pour
ing, returns the largest Republican ma
jority for 20 years; when Pennsylvania
with 100000 breaks its glorious Republi-
can record; when New Jersey, which all
through the war clung to copperhead-
ism, now repudiates Democracy; when
the most bigoted Democratic district in
Illinois goes Republican for the first
time in its history-in brief, when Re-
publican States are more Republican
than ever, and Democratic States are GO
ing Republican which never went that
way before, it is simply impossible not
to see that the Democratic party is sad
died with the most unpopular cause
with which it was ever afflicted, and suf-
fering the worst extremity to which it
ever was reduced.
1t is not the mere weakness of the
Cleveland Administration which has
done all this, for Buchanan's Admins
tration was even weaker. 1t is not the
fat-witted Democratic leadership IN Con-
gress, for that is no new phenomenon.
1t is the fact that the Democratic party
is more radically committed than ever
before to free trade raid on American
industry and American wages, Slavery,
secession, the war itself, were remote

THE VERMONT PRESS AssocIA.
TION.

The business meeting of this body is
to be held at the Van Ness House, Bur
lington, July 18th, evening. A two
days excursion to the Hotel Champlain
at Bluff Point, N. Y, will follow, but il
is the business meeting we have more
| particularly in mind. In common with
many others the BANNER has criticised
this association regarding its mode OF
conducting these annual meetings, but
in the circular before us we see much to
commend. 1t is proposed to discuss
thirteen subjects, most of which con-
cern the reader and advertiser as we'll as
the publisher, as follows:
1st. Shall the Vermont papers adopt
the advance payment system, beginning
January 1st, 1895?
End. Shall the newspapers adopt a
uniform scale of advertising rates, per
line, or per inch, or per column? per
1000 of circulation?
Sd. What discounts shall be given,
and to whom?
4th. What extra rate shall be charged
for preferred position advertisements?
9th. What rate, per line or article,
shall be charged for obituaries, resolu-
tions, cards of thanks, ETC.?
9th. Shall the newspapers publish
the Acts of the Legislature of 1894 with
out pay?
7th. "a uniform scale for job print
ing.n
8th. What price, per line or item,
should be paid for local news?
9th. Is the press doing all that it can
to boom Vermont?
10th. Shall the annual meetings be
held in the fall or winter and be devoted
exclusively to business matters?
1Ith. Shall the annual excursion
hereafter be discontinued or limited to
members of the association and their
immediate families?
18th. Are premiums and clubbing ar
rangements desirable?
18th. Are semi-weelxlies better than
weeklies for country towns?
There is little doubt that the "advance
payment" system, where practicable, is
better both for the paper and subscriber,
and as much might be said of several
other subjects noted. AS to the 'club-
bing SYSTEM" opinions differ. We
think, however, that our readers consid-
er clubbing arrangements, especially
with the Tribune (weekly), New York
Press daily, and Boston Journal week
ly), to be great accommodation as we'll
as saving to them, judging by the hun
dreds who annually take advantage of
the rates.
AS to whether the State papers should
publish the flaws" free, there should be
but one mind. If the State of Vermont
has become too poor, or too stingy to
pay for the publishing of its Session
Laws, then no class of men ought to be
called upon to perform that service.
The fact that the press of the State, gen.
orally, did give the people the laws of
1892, gratis, is no reason why it should
become custom. When the State paid
for the dissemination of what its legis-
lature had done, in the years agone, the
sum was SO meagre that the amount
scarcely paid for the typesetting, and
from that to nothing was the edict of
1892. The press should never again pub.
lish these laws gratis.
The BANNER has already adopted a
rule concerning topic 5, and we think
the State papers have "boomed" Yer
mont since 1888, all that law or enthus-

Mr.. Wilson's position as chairman of
the committee on ways and means will
make him the leader of the House con-
ferees on the tariff bill. 1t is fortunate
for the country, for the Democratic
party and for Mr.. Wilson himself that
this is the case.-New York World.
Why fortunate for the country that
this Southern ex-Confederate soldier.
born and bred in the country far from
the music of mill-wheels and the hum of
manufacturing industry, should have
charge of a bill in which New England
and the great Middle States have such
tremendous interests at stake? Did his
fighting for the destruction of a free
government during the Rebellion. or
teaching school in the backwoods of
Virginia, give him superior equipment
for the adjustment of tariff schedules on
industries employing hundreds of thou
sands of working-people, and of which
he has no practical knowledge? Would
the World entrust its own immense
business to rural professor who had
never been inside of a daily newspaper
office, but had theory of chow 10

SELF Yet it insults the intelligence of
its readers by claiming that it is ''for-
tunate for the country that this ex-
Confederate soldier and pedagogue is 10

About the only two Democratic Office
holders in the State that were conspicu-
Gus by their absence from the Demo
cratic State Convention, yesterday, were
Collector Smalley of Burlington and
Postmaster Hanrahan of Rutland. The
former made his appearance in the COM
mittee rooms the evening before the con-
yention and was cordially received by q
large number of friends. In CONVEX
sation he intimated that he had no in
terest IN the result of the convention
only to know that ''the boys had it Just
as they desired" That they did SO is
probably due to the fact, that although
not present in the body, he was there in
spirit, and everything moved as smooth
ly as though he had his hand at the
wheel. DR.. Hanrahan, who would un-
doubtedly been glad to have been pres
ent, was kept at home by the serious i'll
ness of his wife.

The Commissioner of Pensions has is
sued another order, which Washington
dispatches say will result in calling in
many thousands of cases. 1t is in
amendment of Order No. 26O, and in half
a column of verbiage it is explained that
this amendment ''is not designed to pre-
vent proper investigation of any claim in
which there is evidence that the claim
itself is fraudulent" Of course not.
First assume that every pensioner or ap-
plicant is likely to be tainted with fraud
that escaped the notice of Republican
administrations, and the present Rebel
dynasty is wonderfully alert to prevent a
pension raid ON the treasury. Perhaps
the S25, 100000 said to have been saved
this year may increased So, 900 more
by the present order. 1t is explained at
the bureau that these new orders were
promulgated in the interest of what is
deemed better business methods than
were formerly employed, and that while
saving will be made it was not the essen
tial motive of the order. The effect will
be to call in 10000 or $4,000 cases
throughout the country.

Less consideration has been shown for
the woolen industry by the Democrats in
the Senate than for any other important
manufacture, Not a single duty con-
tanned in the schedule will afford any
real protection to American manufact-
urers, and the duties placed upon car
pets are so low that they must inflict
grave harm upon that particular indus
try. Upon wool and woolens seems to
have been concentrated the hatred and
spite of the wreckers in the White House
ana in the Senate. Both the wool
liberately sacrificed, and obviously for
Americans together is the tie that holds
the farmers faithful to the protective
system.-Philadelphia Manufacturer.

The trial of ''Bat" Shea for the mur.
der of Robert Ross continues, and wit
ness after witness swears positively that
Shea shot Ross and that they saw him
do it. In the course of the testimony, a
number of things have developed as to
the methods of the Murphy ring in Troy.
One witness swears that while he stood
waiting for his turn to vote, near the
polls, a repeater voted on his name and
gave the number of his house. The in
spectors of election took the vote and
checked the name in spite of the pro-
test of the real voter, who, in person,
then and there, demanded that he be
given his rights. Evidently the "house
cleaning" in Troy politics has come
none too soon.

The New York Press, says: Vermont
and California are widely separated geo
graphically, but the Republican conven-
tions held in these states last week show
that Republican sentiment in both is
united in favor of protection and bi-met-
alism. The nominations of Col. U. A.
Woodbury. for governor of Vermont and
Hon. II. NJ. Estee for governor of Cali
fornia will command approval. The
State of Senator Morrill, and of Hon.
George f. Edmunds has never faltered
in its Republican allegiance, and least of
all will it do so this year.

The Vermont Populists. led by A. L.

The Vermont Populists. led by A. L.
Bowen of Dorset, flocked together in
mass convention at Montpelier. Tues
day. 1t does not appear from the tele-
graphic reports how many there were in
attendance, but it is safe to saw the
number was not large. They put in
the field the following ticket:
Thomas S. McGinnis of Jericho, was
nominated for governor, Henry w. Con-
ro of South Hero for lieutenant govern
or, Andrew L. Bowen of Dorset, for Sec
retary of State; Walter S. Curtis of Ran
dolph, for treasurer; Charles S. Louis of
Reading, for auditor-of accounts; John
G. ,Jenne of Enosburgh Falls, for Con-
gress from the first district, and Alfred
F. Spaulding for Congress from the sec
ond district. This movement is about
as formidable as the traditional fy on
the barn door, that some one used to
laugh at Senator Edmunds about seeing
hence their platform of free silver aud
other vaguaries are not worth space to
mention.
