1t is not surprising that so many honest
Democrats are at sea regarding their po-
litical standing. They cannot tell where
they are politically. They believed that
the Chicago platform was declaration
of the principles of the Democratic party
and they still believe in the Chicago plat
form. To-day there is no stronger con-
trast than that between the principles of
that platform and those of the Democra-
cy. Those democrats, who still believe
in the principles of 1892, have become
lost in the revolutionary and lightning
like changes of their old party. The
platform called for tariff for revenue on
ly and denounced protection as unconsti-
tutional and fraud. The party is giving
the sectionally protective Wilson bill.
No resemblance to "tariff for revenue on
ly'' in that. The platform declared for
honest money. 1t was only with the aid
of solid Republican vote that the party
was able to repeal the silver purchase law.
A majority of Congress voted for free
coinage of silver. The platform upheld
civil service reform. But few weeks
since the Democratic House voted against
an appropriation for the CIVIL Service
Commission. Civil service rules inter
feres somewhat with Office Cutting. Con
gress has voted in favor of the PopulistiC
income tax. The Chicago platform said
nothing of any income tax. Democracy
has broken its pledges. 1t is travelling IL
an opposite direction from that promised
the people, and the Democrat who still
stands by the Chicago platform, its prin
ciples and pledges, finds himself without
a party-heart sick and lonesome.

THE VERMONT DEMOCRACY.

The Vermont Democracy met in har-
mony and unity, at Burlington, last
week. This is the first time in years
that the ''unterrified" has met in peace.
The st. Albans correspondent of the
Boston Journal, describes the meeting
as follows:
1t was a happy family that Gen.
Thomas Jefferson Boynton, Chief of the
New England Division of United States
Postoffice Inspectors, looked upon as he
took the platform in the Howard Opera
House to perform his duty of calling the
convention to order in his capacity of
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee. He was especially felicitous in
speaking of the reasons why the Repub-
lican party was turned out of power and
why the Democrats deserved to be con-
tinued in control of the Government.
By the side of Chairman Boynton sat
United States District Attorney John H.
Senter, who, as Secretary of the State
Committee, was the custodian of the
official roll of delegates, which he care.
fully guarded from the sight of the un-
initiated.
The president of the convention, p. j.
Farrell, Esq, of Newport, delighted the
office holders and office seekers who sat
before him by commencing everything
the Democrats had done in Congress,
and denouncing everything the Repub-
licans had tried to do since the Democ-
racy came into power. He ventured
to declare the novel and somewhat sur
prising proposition that the Mckinley
tariff and other Republican policies
were the cause of the present financial
and industrial troubles, and that the
panacea for all these ills was the passage
of the proposed Tariff bill and other
Democratic-Popu measures.
Assistant Postmaster II. W. Martin of
Bennington, John w. Gordon, heir ap-
parent to the Barre postoffice, Deputy
Collector A. L. Weeks of st. Albans,
Postmaster W. d. McMaster of Wood
stock, and Emigrant Inspector P. C.
Dodge were considerably placed on the
Committee on Resolutions in order that
suitable Difference might be shown Presi-
dent Cleveland, and proper commenda-
ton paid the policy of the administra-
tion. The duties of the committee were
faithfully performed. 1t was an excel
lent arrangement.
When it came to nominations, Henry
W. Stocker, who carries big petition
in his pocket for appointment as post
master at Windsor, took the floor and

of Hartford, as candidate for govern

Those who haYe ridden through the
present "boiler like" structure at
Montreal, will be interested to know
that another bridge across the st. Law
renee is likely to be built before long.
The Victoria, owned by the Grand
Trunk, is huge monopoly upon the
traffic of the country, and it will not be
submitted to many years longer. The
bridge now projected will cross the river
just below st. Helen's Island; COM
mencing some distance back from the
rivers bank, so that desirable eleva-
ton may be obtained as the structure
comes over the channel of the river.
This bridge will impede navigation in no
way. There are to he tracks upon it for
ordinary railway trains; for city railway
electric cars, for ordinary teams and
footmen. 1t will be of great importance
to the city and Immediately surrounding
country, as we'll as for the traffic of the
Dominion at large. Its estimated cost is
five millions.

NEWS AND NOTES.

If Secretary Gresham wants to know
how his infamous policy towards Hawaii
is regarded by the people who would be
most directly affected by the annexation
of the Sandwich Islands, he is earnestly
commended to careful study of the
platform adopted by the recent Republi-
can State Convention of California.
That document presents an amazingly
accurate estimate of Mr.. Gresham's
achievements in diplomacy.
Now that President Cleveland has
completed his pleasure trip oni board
the government ship Maple, Secretary
Carlisle has gone off on protracted
junket in the same vessel. The only
interest that the people have in these
little outings lies in the fact that the ex-
penses of S400 or $500 day for the main
tenance of the ship have to be paid by
the government.

THB S'FBARUS WHEEL

The Linscott 25 mile road race,
held at Maiden, Mass, May 5th,
1894, was won by Nat Butler of
Cambridgeport on Stearns wheel.
He made the 25 miles in one hour,
eleven minutes, 90 is seconds,
breaking the worlds record, and
capturing the first prize of a horse,
harness and buggy, the first time
prize of 800 diamond; also, a
$3.50 diamond for breaking the
worlds record. The report illus
trated will be found in the Boston
Sunday Journal of May 9th.
1t is the first record broken
this season, 153 starters, among
whom were some of the fastest
road riders in the U. S. A. 1t is
another case of the "fastest man on
the fastest wheel" The other

editor Livingston's" effort in the last
issue of the Reformer to make it appear
that school Superintendent Davis tres
passed upon the duties of the trustees in
the matter OF the presentation of the di-
plomas would be silly, if falsehoods thus
told were not criminal. President Tiff
fany, as we understand it, asked the Su-
perintendent to present the diplomas.
Mr. Davis stated that fact to the Board
at its next meeting, when all the trustees
were present excepting Pres't Tiffany
and DR.. Daley. Not man made any OBJ
lection to the Superintendent looking
after the matter. He was left to infer
that the matter was entirely IN his hands.
The next day, after he had made his ar
rangements, three men presumed to act
as board to discredit what he had done,
and if all the facts have to be given, the
public will, we think, say the Superin-
tendent was right. The BANNER stands
| for justice in this matter, and for the
best interests of the school. 1t deplores
any controversy, and it will not be par
| ty to one, unless forced into it to prevent
designing men from working injury to a
| JldG ISS WO DCllONOi
| high among those of it's kind. The pre-
text made that the Superintendent usurps
the duties of the trustees is a pretext
merely. 1t can be said that it is the ex-
perience of men long on the Board that
Mr.. Davis has no desire to perform du.
ties that belong to thes trustees. Trus-
tees who do not place their personal ends,
aims, ambitions and dislikes above the
good of the school will have no trouble
with the Superintendent. The public
will bear witness that we have one of the
best schools in the State, and that these
attacks upon it, whether made by Liv,
ingston or others, are against public pol.
icy. The BANNER can have no contro-
versy in this matter with Livingston, but
unless this thing stops it may become
our duty to uncover the motives of the
men who instigate these needless injuries
to our school.

The vote on Senator Hills motion to
strike out the income tax section of the
tariff bill shows the subserviency of the
Northern Democratic Senator to the de-
mands of the ex-slave-holder and ex-
rebel. Nearly all of the Northern Demo
Gratis in the Senate have denounced as
unjust and unnecessary, the income tax.
When it came to voting Senators Hill
and Murphy of NY, Smith and McPher-
son of New Jersey, were the only ones
among them with spirit and courage to
vote with their convictions. The others
bowed to their masters. The tax will
bear solely upon the North, and thanks
to the Northern Democratic Senators the
vengeance of the South will be but the
more complete if the tariff bill becomes
a law.

Saturdays financial article says:
"Within the past week Wall street has
shown some reaction from the improving
tendency apparent during the previous
part of this month. The change, how =
ever, appears to have been due rather to
speculative maneuvers than TO any i'm
portant changes in material conditions.
The really important event of the week
has been the sympathetic strike of
Western railroad employees. 1t is impos-
sible, at present, to estimate the extent to
which it may interfere with the carrying
trade or how it may affect large
interests dependent upon railroad facili-
ties. To those familiar, however, with
the interests Immediately concerned, it
is not likely to appear by any means an
unmixed misfortune. 1t will raise
questions and lead to changes which the
strikers seemed to have little antici-
pated. The roads have long felt that,
under the existing depression of busi-
ness and the great decline in prices, large
reductions in operating expenses had
become necessary, not only as means
toward making both ends meet, but also
of enabling them to make concessions
on freight charges in certain directions.
They have hesitated to make these ad-
iustments through "a general cutting
down of wages, though they have done
all that is possible through a reduction
in the numerical strength of their en-
ployes. Their hands haye now thrown
down the gauntlet on one issue, the
Pullman strike; the roads seem quite
willing to accept the guage, but on an
other issue, general reduction of wages.
So far as can Nbe forseen, therefore, the
strike is likely to run to lengths which
will put it within the power of the rail
roads to effect general reduction il
wages"

The tariff was completed Friday in the
Committee of the whole, and is now be-
fore the Senate. That body adjourned
until yesterday. The first act as the
Senate took up the tariff was a surprise,
in that Senator Hill carried an amend
ment to have the sugar tariff of forty
per cent. take effect Immediately on the
usage of the bill, rather than January
lst, 1895, by vote of 80 to, 80. This
shows that the danger signals lately dis
played by the Democracy are not of the
trifing character the organs would have
us believe. 1t was expected a vote
would be reached to day. There is no
other way than to kill lhe infamous bill.

The horror of the week has been the
murder of four young children, by their
mother, Mrs. Baker, at Montgomery,
Saturday, by hanging the little people to
four bed-posts. AS the canary bird was
killed in the same manner it was thought
the mother must be insane. But this
mornings dispatches appear to give
color to a theory that the
murder may have been premed-
itated. Mitchell Baker, the husband,
believes his wife killed the children and
took the morphine to make way with
herself. One reason for his belief is that
several times his wife said to her near
est neighbor, Mrs. Lewis Shower, that
she would kill the children if her hus-
band attempted to take them from her.
he was told of the threat but paid
no attention to it for, although he
knew his wife was bad woman, he
could not believe she was capable of such
crime. Another reason to Mr.. Bakers
mind is this: The children were stran-
gled with slips of cotton cloth and calico
cut from an old dress of the mothers.
The day before the murders he saw his
wife cutting up the strips, and asked
her what she was doing. She tried to
conceal the cloth, and finally told her
husband she wanted to do up the child
ren's clothes, so he could carry them
more easily. Mrs. Baker attended the
Episcopal church in Montgomery, when
she went anywhere, and today confessed
to Rev. DIR. Flanders, pastor of St.
Luke's church, st. Albans, that she
killed the baby first. After that she de-
clares that she remembers no more.

Police disclosures show that the as
sassination of President Carnot was not
the wild impulsive act of fanatic
crazed by anarchistic literature, but the
cool, deliberate execution of carefully
laid plan by group of anarchists to
avenge the recent executions of their
murderous fellows, Valiant and Henry.
The one to execute the deed was chosen
by lot, and for him and his fellow con
spirators, the guillotine though cruel, is
none too good, and sympathy for them is
wasted
