The assassination of President Carnot of
the French republic has caused painful
shock throughout the civilized world. There
was no reason or provocation, political or
otherwise, for the murderous act. The
crime was committed by a native and citi-
zen of another country, and the assassin
told the court upon his examination, that
he had no personal grievance against Pres
ident Carnot. 1t was only that che was a
tyrant, and killed him for that There
was not even a prevailing excitement to
furnish the impulse to the crime, as in the
assassination of Lincoln and Garfield, the
only possible motive was revenge for the
death of two anarchists recently executed
in France for their murderous crimes. The
death of Carnot will have a startling and
SOLDERING effect in every nation of the world,
and will lead the people everywhere to take
very serious thought as to what measures
shall be taken in self-protectiOn against
the whole brood of anarchists.

GOV. FULLER AT DoLGEvILLE
IDolgeyille press despatch, June as.l


When Alfred Dodge built his great felt,
lumber, and shoe factories in Dolgeville he
also built schoolhouses, including a fine
union free school and an academy finely
equipped with industrial departments.
Gov. Levi. X. Fuller of Vermont came
down today to deliver the principal address
at the academy's exercises, and with him
were a number of distinguished men, in
cluding Judge Hardin of the Supreme
Court, Senator Kilbourn of Malone, and
Assemblyman Keck OF Johnstown. Mr..
Alfred Dodge presented the diplomas to
the graduates.
Gov. Fuller was greeted with enthusiasm.
Among other things he said: 81 have read
with great pleasure and interest the ac-
count of the establishment and develop
ment of the school system of Dolgeville,
as given in an interesting souvenir of the
dedication of the academy building, and l
bow today in greatful acknowledgment
to him who has used the money of honest
and intelligent toll through many years
to build temple not merely to the spirit
of learning but to the equality of mankind,
| in which the children of all may fit them
selves for the duties of life and where the
opportunity is given to every boy and girl
in the community to develop those quail
tiles which shall render each most useful
| to the community"

A Little Improvement i'm Trade.

Bradstreet's says: There are indications
of moderate improvement in various
lines, and enough instances to render the
fact of some significance. A notably favor
able feature is the practical ending of the
coke and coal strikes, together with those
in related industries, which will put to
work at once, or soon, more than 100000
men. The number of employees in indus
trial lines still on strike is estimated at
about 10000. There are sales by jobbers
in staple lines for future delivery where
nothing save a hand-to-mouth business
had been reported for weeks. At points
tributary to Kansas City and St. Louis
grain harvesting is under full headway;
the condition of wheat is excellent, the de-
mand for money to move the crop marked
and the supply abundant. Western steel
works recently started report a disposition
by capitalists and Others to push new en-
terprises

which are universally recognized, and there
are many people who would be glad to see
the nomination fall to him. There is a
probability that the Wilmington delegation
may present the name of some citizen of
that town, j. H. Kidder, Hosea Mann, ir.,
and c. d. Spencer having all been favora-
bly, mentioned. A man very recently
brought out is II. NJ. Adams of Marlboro,
well known as one of the bright and active
young farmers of the county, well equip
ped both by nature and by legislative train
ing for a seat in the senate.
In the upper district fewer candidates
are in the list. Daniel Sherwin of Jamai-
ca was earliest mentioned, and is one of
the well-known and well-experienced men
of the county. He has been several times
a member of the house, and in the legisla-
ture of 1890 was one of the recognized
leaders. p. II. Rutter of Townshend and
j. W. Gould of Windham are both sub
stantial citizens whom their friends would
like to see nominated. Both have served
in the house, and will have generous sup
port if brought before the convention.
Putney Republicans believe they have the
right man in Dr. George w. Foster of that
town, and he will undoubtedly prove a
strong contestant for the place.
From both parts of the county the list
of candidates is good one, and there i.
little danger of mistake being made il
the final selection.

The county Senatorial Canvass

There will undoubtedly be a full attend
ance of delegates at the Windham county
Republican convention, to be held at New
fame next Tuesday. The indications now
are that the main and perhaps the only
contest will be upon the choice of senate
rial candidates. In the lower district there
will be plenty of good timber to select
from, and it cannot be said, apparently,
that any candidate now has such lead as
to assure him success. The probability is
that there will be a friendly discussion of
the situation, and a union of forces upon
whatever candidate appears to have the
strongest backing, due reference being had
to the claims of the several towns. Per-
haps the leading place in the preliminary
canvass is to be accorded to DR.. Weston of
| Newfane, whose friends have been doing
active work for him, and who strongly urge
in his behalf the position which he gained
in the house in 1892, his readiness as a
public speaker, and his familiarity with
legislative affairs. George L. Clark of
Halifax will be presented by the delega-
tion from that town, and they, too, will
set up a strong claim because of Mr.. Clark S
ample legislative experience, and his in
telligent acquaintance with the affairs of
the state.
There is no doubt that Addison Whit
he'd of Vernon could have, without the
asking, very strong support, were he
willing to accept a nomination. His office
as postmaster debars him, however, and
he has always answered to personal solici
tation that he preferred not to disturb his
long established way of life by resigning
that Office in order to serve single tern
at Montpelier. Another Vernon man, Mar
shall l. Reed, who represented that town il
1892, possesses qualifications for the Office

The WOOlen Schedule.
1t Is Declared to BE Worse than Any
other in the New Tariff Bill.

FROM Jllt bbSJOu transcript.
A gentleman from Boston who has been
prominently identified with the wooden in
dustry, and is regarded as an authority on
all subjects relating to wool, remarked to
your correspondent today: "The impress
sion prevails that the wooden schedule
adopted by the Senate is fairly satisfactory
to the woolen manufacturers of New Eng
land and was arranged along lines which
were in part, at least, suggested by them.
Nothing could well be further from the
fact. There is not a paragraph in the
whole schedule which is satisfactory to any
branch of the industry, nor is there any
branch which will not suffer most serious
injury if it is enacted into law. The wooden
schedule is more badly out of Joint
than any other in the bill, and its terms
are especially cruel and conspicuously un-
fair, when compared with the highly pro-
tective and carefully arranged and adjusted
cotton schedule, which passed the Senate
a week earlier. The reductions of duty in
the wooden schedule average from about go
per cent to about Is per cent, running up
in some instances to over s. per cent The
makers of the cheap grades of goods will,
of course, be the most direct and imme-
diate sufferers. The instant this law be
comes operative, that is January l, next,
the country will be flooded with these
goods from abroad, made of materials
cheaper than any our people have ever
learned to use. There must necessarily
follow an entire Reorganization of the
great bulk of the American wool manu-
facture."

''Childlike and Bland" Was .'Father
Abel" of West Haven
of Campaign ethics, told by tn
Rutland Herald.

"A good story OF Campaign ethlcS, told by the
Rutland Herald.
The gossips are repeating a story about
the caucus held in West Haven to elect
delegates to the Republican county conven-
tion which is worth printing. West Haven
is the home of r. c. Abel - "Father
Abell''-as all the world doth know, and
Mr. Abel is a candidate for election to the
senate this year. One of Mr.. Abells op-
ponents, as is well known, is Ira II. Allen
of Fair Haven, and a tOleraby active op-
ponent he is proving. For one thing his
supporters undertook to capture the caucus
in West Haven-Candidate Abelrs own
town.
The caucus was called at : o'clock in a
schoolhOuse, one evening last week. When
the time came there were on the ground
Mr.. Abel himself with nine supporters and
26 men who went there to vote for Allen
/ delegates, 1t certainly looked as if Mr.
Abel were lost. But it was an exceedingly
hot evening, and within the little school
house the air was sitting This last fact
as the story goes, proved important To
avoid suffering within the house as long as
possible the men got on the shady side of
| the building to wait for the time for action,
and there Mr. Abel began in his pleasant
and dignified way to talk. He was affable
to all, and finally began telling entertain
ing stories, and told them well. So long
as he was there it would certainly seem
that nothing would be done in the house,
and he had ready listeners. At last some
body remarked that it was five minutes
past the hour, and that the caucus might
as well be opened "Ah-um-yes" quoth
Father Abel. 81 don't know whether
they've got through in there or not" and
the ghost of a smile fickered about the
corner of his mouth.
The words sounded enigmatical, but the
solution was Immediately developed, As
the voters started to 90 into the house
some began to come out from within, anC
it appeared that while 26 Allen men limo
Gently listened to Father Abel the nine
Abel men had quietly slipped into th'
house, opened the caucus the moment the
hour came, and elected an Abel delegation
and adjourned the meeting There wer,
80 smiles of varying qualities-36 countin!
Mr.. Abell's-and there the story ends

There is standing on the farm of James
Wilson, of Danville, probably the Oldest
and largest willow tree in Vermont. In
the year 1870, John Wilson, while coming
from Peacham, horseback, cut willow
switch and upon his arrival home stuck it
into the ground, where it took root, and
today measures, circumference of its trunk,
p feet, diameter of its foliage, Is feet.
This spring while burning some limbs un-
der the tree the fire caught in the hollow
trunk and burned for long time, leaving
a hollow shell in which three men can
stand upright, the hollow being nearly 15
feet in height The tree is good for 81
years more.

turned out to be a very small affair. Al
though the published delinquent list was
somewhat larger this year than last.

due for taxes, and &C render a sale I'M
