Gov. Fuller's Return from California.


Gov. Fuller's Return from California.
GOV. and Mrs. Fuler returned last Sat
urday night from their trip to California
and the Midwinter Fair, and their flying
visit to the states of Oregon and Washing
ton. They reached home in excellent
health and delighted with what they saw,
with the cordial welcome which was ex-
tended to them, and with the spirit of pride
and loyalty to the mother state which they
found in all the Vermonters resident on
the Pacific coast. From the time of their
arrival at Oakland, where they were met
by committee of citizens, until their de-
parture from San Francisco, the time was
filled with a round of receptions, and of
courteous and devoted attentions, shown
them not only by those having their enter
tainment in charge, but by all of the many
officials and citizens with whom they came
in contact. The spirit shown by the Yer
monters was delightful, and they made no
secret of their pleasure in having the Yer
mont Executive as their guest.
Vermont day" at the Midwinter Fair,
which occurred on the Saturday following
Gov. Fuller's arrival, was the most notable
ftte day yet held in connection with the
exposition. GOV. Markham left his eXecu-
tive duties at Sacramento on Friday and
came to San Francisco TO welcome Gov.
Fuller, and be present at the Vermont Gel
ebration. No less than 5000 Nermonters
registered themselves with the committee
of 100 which had the celebration in charge,
and the interest excited by the exercises Of
the day was of no ordinary kind BY actu-
al count 5000 people partook of maple sugar
at the sugaringoff, the snow for which
was brought in carloads from the Serras.
The llans for the occasion were carefully
made and admirably carried out. In the
following days, which We're spent in san
Francisco, it was a pleasure to find the
, Nermonters prominent in business affairs
and in all the city's activities, and among
its most honored and respected citizens.
OF the Midwinter Fair Gov. Fuller speaks
in the warmest praise. 1t is picturesque
in its location and arrangement, handsome

revelation of the resources, not only of the
great state OF California, but of all the
states of the Pacific slope. Moreover, the
/ fair is to great extent international in its
scope embracing many exhibits from for
eign countries as well as from other states
of the American union. 1t is marvel to
every visitor to find here an exposition
planned on so large scale and carried out
so successfully in every detail. 1t is the
pride of the Pacific coast, and no less is il
a credit and an honor to the whole country
During their brief stay at the leading
cities of Oregon and Washington Gov. anC
Mrs. Fuller were no less warmly welcomed
than in California.

The GrnNesend Frauds.

1t is rarely that justice has been so COM
pletely and speedily triumphant as in the
Gravesend elections cases McKane and
Justice Newton are in prison, Sutherland
is a fugitive, and 16 underlings, warned by
the fate of their chiefs, have plead guilty
the past week and received sentence for
various terms. The best of it is that all
efforts to get McKale out of prison on
some technicality have failed and the courts
show not the least disposition to give him
any help. Less than five months ago these
men committed these frauds, feeling per-
fectly secure against any successful attempt
at their prosection-but they did not take
into this account what a suddenly awaken

Monkey Language.

Prof Richard Garner, who went to the
African forests to study the language of
the monkeys and gorillas, has returned to
New York He lived in a steel cage in the
forest two degrees below the equator, from
April to August, and during these months
got on familiar terms with numerous mem
beIs of the chimpanzee family. He con-
cludes that the native dialect embraces 40
or 80 words, the meaning of which is varied
by the tone. OF these words he gathered
the meaning of about dozen, but they are
"utterly unspellable" in any language.

an important factor, and in making this
new departure the paper puts itself flush
with the demands of the times and ready
for work along the same lines in future.
As a diligent and enterprising news
gatherer, and as a paper thoroughly well
edited in its news columns no less than on
its editorial page, the Republican is model
newspaper. 1t is, therefore, with no wish
to spoil praise with adverse criticism, that
we say that if now, in the best interests
of its wide constituency, it would so broad
en- its political outlook as to see and fairly
present both sides of existing political
questions it would deserve the goodwill of
every Connecticut valley resident.

BILE to prosecution under the prohibitory
law unless he presents a petition to the
authorities containing the names Of ma
jority of the voters of a city, or % per
cent of those of a smaller town. The law
appears to be an attempt to make a cross
between license and prohibition. The
prohibitory law of Iowa was enacted in
1884. On an issue against it the Demo
Gratis have twice elected Boise governor.
Last year the Republicans swept the state,
and have no notion of permitting the Dem
Ocrats to gain ascendancy again by using
prohibition as a cover under which to make
their fight.

Brattleboro sketch was included in the
list as being closely identified with the ter
rtory thus covered. A fac simile of the
first number of the daily Republican was
given as a part of this issue, which, taken
as a whole, was not only good piece of
newspaper work, but an object lesson in
the many-sided growth which this section
of New England has witnessed in the last
80 years. In stimulating and helping for
ward this growth the Republican has been

1t is said there are substantial grounds
for the statemen; that new modus rirendi
covering the sealing season in Bering sea
will be agreed upon by the United States
and Great Britain within the next ten
days.
There is a discrepancy of 81 100000 in
the accounts of the state of New York,
owing to the fact that the three Democratic
comptrollers previous to the present Re
publican incumbent, remitted certain taxes
to corporations which should have been re-
tained in the state treasury.

Mr. Cleveland VetOes the SeigniOrage
Bill.

President Cleveland sent to the House
yesterday afternoon his expected message
vetoing the Bland seigniorage bill. The
President reviews the financial conditions,
and says that, the recovery being so well
under way, nothing should be done to
check conyalescence. His main objections
to the bill are its unfortunate construction,
and that it will not maintain parity of the
two metals. He says the present perpleX-
tiles and embarrassments of the secre-
tary of the treasury ought not to be aug
mented by devolying upon him the eXecu-
tion of law so uncertain and confused.
He is convinced that the scheme proposed
by the second section of the bill is ill-ad-
vised and dangerous and that its ultimate
result would be to replace legal tender
treasury notes by silver certificates, which
are not legal tender. He closes by urging
the desirabilty of granting to the secreta-
ry of the treasury better power than now
exists to issue bonds to protect the gold re-
serve. If this could be done, he thinks
the bullion seigniorage now in the treas
ury could be safely coined.

Bishop Hall takes exception to the con-

erence made in recent sermon at st. AL
bans. He says: 81 did not declare against
the prohibitory law of the state. With
the wisdom or unwisdom of such an en-
actment / was not dealing. l distinctly
said that it might diminish occasions of
drunkenness, but my point was whatever
external restrictions were imposed on any
moral evil-Of which took intemperance
as one illustration-there was needed for
its real conquest the eXpulsive power of an
internal principle which would render vice
abhorrent to the former wrong doer."

ed public conscience could do. The truth as
revealed by these men when they came to
confess is said to have startled the public
prosecutors, and to prove that the Graves
end vote was not merely fraudulent, but
counterfeit. In other words, there was
very little real voting, the Democratic hal
lots being put in by handfuls at time,
while fictitious names were checked off to
correspond. BY this improved method
repeaters were rendered quite superfuous,
although as matter of form and to save
appearances it was necessary to have a GER
tain number go through the form of voting.
So serious are these revelations that ii is
said another grand jury may be summoned
to inquire into the new facts disclosed.

Statisticians at Washington figure out
a revenue of S411, ZOO, 900 from the Senate
tariff bill compared with 1886, 100000
under the Mckinley tariff act. But if
they are Democrats they neglect to mention
that the increase and much more than
the increase will come from direct tax
alton of our own people, accompanied by
large decrease in the amount of customs
revenues. No less than 500, 10000 is
added to internal revenue taxes to produce
this result.-Phuddeiphid Ledger.
In other words the proposition is to
have our own people pay S63,0O0,0O0 of
taxes which, under the Mckinley law,
are paid by foreigners.

A pretty sure sign of improving times
is the fact that the number of persons
receiving help in the large cities is being
greatly reduced. In New York city, more
than one-half of those who were idle in

In Chicago the same is true, and skilled
workmen find little trouble in getting EN-

SOME LISTERS DOUBTFUL.
Not Obliged to Report QuadrenniaI APP
praisaI of Real Estate Till July 3.

praisaI of Real Estate Till July B.
There seems to be a question in the
minds of some town listers as to whether
the quadrennial appraisal of real estate is
to be made this year at the same time
the inventories are collected for the annual
spring grand list. 1t would seem from an
examination of the statute that it is not
necessary. 1t would also seem that it is
sufficient for the listers to complete
appraisal of real estate in season to make
the report of their doings to the town
clerk by the first of July.
There are various reasons why the ap-
praisal of real estate should not be made
in April. In some years it might be
nearly impossible for listers in few towns
to make such an appraisal at this time
because of the poor condition of the roads.
The state grand list of this year, 1894, will
be based on the real estate appraisal of
1890 and for the next four years on this
years appraisal.
