REPUBLICANS ON DECK.

In little more than week Vermont
is to have a state election. Possibly
this may be news to some who do not
follow public matters very closely, and
possibly some who knew of it may have
forgotten it. Beyond the usual nomi-
mating conventions there has been very
little to indicate that anything of the
kind was approaching. True, consid-
cradle interest was aroused in connec-
ton with the choice Of candidates, but
it seems to have ended with the con-
vention, and the conviction that a nom-
ination was equivalent to election has
had quieting effect on subsequent
proceedings.
All this has its pleasant side, but it
also has its Objectionable features. Har-
mony is good thing but too much
may easily become an element of dan
ger. The question this year is not one
of candidates but maorities. 1t will not
be enough to elect our candidates but
the Republican voters of the state
should see that they are elected by over
whelming majorities. 1t is needless to
say that our Democratic brethren will
be on hand. There have been hints of
mighty defections from their ranks and
a grand scramble to get into the Repub-
lican column, but hopes built on this
foundation will be rudely shattered.
Election day will find them all at the
polls throwing a straight party ticket
AS an exchange says: mo change in
platform, principle or purpose, affects
the rank and file of the Democratic
phalanX; no disaster to country, no
wall of distress among the poor, no
pestilential breeding of strikes or mobs,
no condition that makes a CoXey or
Debs possible, nothing avails to turn
the faithful Democrat away from the
old party"
The eyes of the country are upon Yer
mont. She is the first state to render a
verdict upon the iniquitous legislation
of the SD congress, and her voice
should have no uncertain sound. The
new tariff bill hits Vermont hard and
often. 1t strikes vigorous blows at our
leading industries. The wool, lumber
and sugar interests suffer most severe
ly. The reduction of the duties on hay.
butter, cheese, eggs, potatoes, beans ahd
other farm products brings the matter
home very forcibly to the large proper

tion OF our inhabitants who are en-
gagged In agricultural pursuits. We in
Vermont have experienced but little of
the intense feeling existing in other
sections where the effect of business de-
preston has been felt to an extent of
winch We, have no conception. Other
states have entered vigorous protest
as they have had opportunity. They
are now looking to see what answer
Vermont will make to the open and
wanton attack upon lis chief industries.
1t rests with the Republican voters of
the state to say what it shall be. How
Will you meet the issue freemen; will
you stay at home election day, or will
you come out and vote?

A New Story of Grant in Japan.
From New York Press.I

"When General Grant wasin Japan"
remarked the son of japanese general
to me yesterday, "the Emperor invited
the general to cross the imperial foot
bridge near the palace at Toxic, across
which none but the blood royal had
ever trod. General Grant accepted the
invitation and walked across beside the
Mikado, until they had reached the
center of the bridge. Then he stopped,
profoundly saluted the Emperor, and
said:
"'Your Majesty, l have come so far
to show you that l was not insensible
to the honor you would do me, but 1
cannot violate your traditions. Let us
return the way we came
"The perfect tact aud 20 rt, sy of
General Grant on this oc aston is vefy
gratefully remembered by thl nation
which has the just distinct j being
called the most polite p,o. ie on earth.
Americans visiting Japaa are h Id in
high favor, and are always Ieated with
the greatest considerat N. On the
other hand, we greatly silke he Eng
lish.' They are brutes ail's bulldogs"

The agitation of the suffrage question
in New York has had one interesting
result. 1t has given an opportunity for
the expression of the deep rspugnance
which the majority of women feel to
having the burden of the suffrage
thrust upon them. Without organiza-
ton, without previous consultation,
and in a very brief period of time, the
women in New York, Brooklyn, AL
bany and other cities and towns who
do not want the suffrage, poured in
protests, signatures and literature upon
the convention. The work was sponta-
neous and effective. 1t opened the
eyes of people who had assumed with
out reflection that the women who
clamored for the suffrage spoke fyr
their sex.-Boston Journal

The grand purifcation movement in
New York politics which was to con-
sign Tammany to the deep sea bids fair
to bring up at the bottom of the oppo-
site declivity. The chief promoters are
already split up into factions which are
fighting each other entirely oblivious
of the common enemy which they
started in pursuit of. The chances are
that while they are quarrelling Tam
many will get away with the prize and
the city will be doomed to another sea-

Governor Hogg of Texas takes back
all he said about moving out of the

him, or rather, says he never said any

punished for stealing the honor, the
reputation, the manhood of hundreds
of our brightest young men? No; God
bless the home; it is not there we are
taught sin. Loving parents may be
too indulgent, at times, and taking ad-
vantage of this, we'may contract small
faults, that in mature years will dev-
elop into larger ones. But it is the evil
associates of life, the saloon, the
gambling den, that ruin young men.
And they are the evils towards which

this is shown by the great paleness OF
the countenance, and feeble pulse. In
some cases the hair has been known to
turn white in few hours. In others,
the shock has been fatal; and physicians
call it a case of death from heart fall
ure. The truth is that under the IN
fuence of the terrible mental emotion,
chemical changes have taken place IN
the blood which renders it incapable
of longer sustaining life. We are all
too apt to speak lightly OF the suicide
and call him a fool. AS rule the sui
eide gets no sympathy. But who has
fathomed the depth of grief, or explored
the regions of remorse? Who has held
a thermometer to the Arctic chill of
fear, or dropped a plummet into the
hell of despair that overwhelmed the
brain. before the poor trembling NOR
tai determined to put an end to his
existence. There is scarcely shadow
of doubt. but that reason has been de-
throned before the suicide stretched
forth his hand to destroy his life. This
is recognized fact even among say
age nations. The state Of New York.
1 believe, has recently passed law to
punish attempts at suicide by impris-
Onment. Such law is a disgrace to

CRITICISM.
We Cannot See Onr Own Faults, but
Are Quick to Detect Flaws in Others

What beautiful thing it is to mind
ones own affairs in this life. Ana yet,
how easy it is for us all to criticise our
neighbOr To tell our friend a. in con-
fidence (?) how fast neighbor b lives;
how foolishly he spends his income,
and how sadly he neglects his family
sc. sc. and then how pleasant, to find
that neigbor A has had confidential
conversation with neighbOr b shortly
after. We are also very apt to critlclse
our cousins over the sea. Englands
policy in Africa, her opium trade IN
India. The Siberia of the Russian; and
the Harem of the Turk, all get their
need of censure when we really square
ourselves for a good blow. But how
hot under the collar it makes us to have
anything of like nature cast at our
door. How those two southern gov
ernors did swell up, when they found
that a few philanthropic Londoners
were going to send committee OF IN
yestigation into their territory; to look
into the cause and effect of the frequent
lvnchings in that region. For true it

pathetic appeal of woman, the Lon

habit of summarily dealing with In
quisitive foreigners; and because 1t IS
so easy to get lost in that long journey
from St. Petersburg to the mines. But
