The Tariff Rn as 1t Comes to the SEM

After some weeks of discussion and de-
lay the tariff bill, as finally amended by the
Democratic members of the Senate finance
committee, was laid before the full commit
tee Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The
most important change appears to be that
in the sugar schedule. AS now fixed all
sugars testing not above so degrees pay
duty of one cent a pound; from so to 90
degrees, LOO of cent for each degree
from 90 t. 9S 2-100 of a cent for each de-
gree; al sugars testing above 9S, or above
No. 16 Dutch standard in color, Is of a
cent per pound in addition to the duty on
sugar testing above 9S degrees. Coal, iron
and lead ore and lead products remain on
the dUtiGhle list; the duty on cigars and
cigarettes is restored TO what it is in exist
ing law; whisky and the bonded period
stand IS previously determined. Senator
Murphy Of New York gets a conciliatory
sop for his home industry at Troy in the
form OF an increased duty on collars and
cuffs. The clause of the section repeating
that part of the Mckinley act providing for
reciprocal treaties has been amended so as
to definitely provide that those treaties are

vantages secured for American farmers
and manufacturers under these treaties, at
no cost to ourselves, but attended by gain
of millions of dollars in our foreign COM
merce, are to be wantonly thrown away.
On the other hand the provision for the
abrogatlou of the treaty with Hawaii is
stricken out. The provision of the House
bill tha; any articles unenumuIated, or com
ing in under the similitude clause, should
pay the highest duty has been restored.
Chairman Voorhees, reported the bill to
the Senate, and his motion that it be
printed and placed on the calendar was
agreed to. Mr.. Voorhees, then gave notice
that the bill would be called up for consid-
Grafton On Monday, April ?. Mr.. Morrill,
stated that the Republican members of the
committee had not objected to the report,
but they were opposed to the income tax

An Interesting Decision. .

Vermont Methodists will be interest
ed in the decision in a famous land
case in Colorado, which was adverse
to Bishop Warren of Denver, Colo, who
is to preside at the coming session of
the Vermont Conference at Bradford. By
this decision of the supreme court of
Colorado, Bishop Warren must pay $780,
900 to Andrew NJ. Adams, or, in other
words, he must relinquish title to 100
acres of land on the eastern boundary of
the city of Denver, or pay for it at the rate
of $1,000 per acre. This case dates
back 25 years. Bishop Warren came into
possession of the land when he married
Mrs. lief, widow of cattle king. lief
claimed the land on payment of loans to
Adams. About this time Adams fell in
the streets of Washington and lost his
memory of all occurrences at Denver.
Sixteen years later he met an old friend in
New Mexico, who aroused the sleeping
memory of Adams, and he began to inves-
tigate. Because of his long alteration of
mind, the statute of limitations did not
apply, and now the supreme court has
given him the possession of this valuable
land.

The Essex County Candidate.
LFrom dc Essex Counts Herald ]


Hitherto we have refrained from saying
anything about the candidacy of any indi-
vidual for lieutenant governor in the COM
ing campaign, and have been carefully
watching the development of public opinion
on this subject as reflected by the press of
the state. The silence of the Herald is not
to be attributed to any feeling of indiffer-
ence in respect to the candidacy of one of
our own citizens. But now that it is sug-
gested that our silence is being misinter-
preted, and that all fears of being intrusive
are removed, we have to say, what goes
without saying, that the mention OF Col.
Mansur's name for that place by individu-
ais, and also by the press, is a source of
great qualification to the people of this
county. 1t is quite apparent that he has
come to be endorsed very generally through
out the state. His recent prominence be-
fore the people enables them to judge for
themselves of his qualifications for the po-
stion. 1t is evident that he is the coming
man.

The SeIrniornre mn.

The question for which the country is
awaiting an answer this week is, what will
the President do with the Bland seignior-
age bill which is now in his hands for veto
or approval? The majority impression is
that, both as a matter of principle, and un-
der pressure from the great banking and
financial interests, he will veto it.

The Burlington Free Press thinks there
is no doubt that Congressman Grout and
Powers will be returned for another term,
no other candidate being mentioned as a
successor to either of them. In an article
on this subject yesterday the Free Press
says:
Congressman Grout, who was elected
to his present position for the first time in
1880, took a front rank among the new
mer.Der of the Forty-seventh Congress
and he has won an enviable place at the
national capital during his long term of
service ia the House. He was for a num-
ber OF years a member of the House COM
mittee who had charge of the affairs of the
District of Columbia, and the manner in
which he discharged the duties of that posi-
tion, galned for him the respect and ad-
miratioh of the people of Washington as
well a. the representatives of the various
statcs who sojourn in the capital city. He
has also eEleared himself to the old soldiers
in all parts of the United States by the
ability ald determination which he has eX-
hibtel in guarding the interests of the
Union veterans in Congress. Moreover,
no man has sought more Zealously than
Congressman Grout to promote the inter-
ests Of his constituents, but he has done
more than this. His voice has ever been
heard on the side of sound national legsa-
tion, and in a great variety of ways he has
sought to promote the interests of the
whole country, as well as those of his state
and his constituents. 1t is fore
gone conclusion that the next Congress
will be as strongly Republican as the Fifty
third has been Democratic, and it will be
gratifying to all Vermonters to have in the
House two such strong men of broad and
thorough experience and established repu
tation as Congressman Powers and Grout.

Observe Easter.

The best observance of Easter that we
know of is that shown by those who use
at that time the elegant Easter Cards that
we offer for sale.
Each year has added to the custom
much popularity, and few society or
church people allow the season to go by
unobserved. The dealers recognize the
desire of the public and therefore we
have in the wholesale houses. an unlimit-
ed quantity to select from. This season we
have taken unusual pains to see that our
stock should contain most desirable goods
in that line, and we shall wait your com
ing with much interest, that we may
learn your opinion concerning our taste
in this manner. Please remember that
large stock carefully selected is offered
you and that prices are reasonable.
Other new goods we will speak of later;
articles of interest to all.

The Women's National Indian associa-
tion is undoubtedly doing more systematic,
well-defned and effective work in behalf
of right treatment of the Indians by the
government than has ever before been ac-
complished. The association is now urg-
ing that, whereas, of the 10000 Indian
children in the country only 1000 are now
unprovided with good schools, the appro-
priations by Congress be increased until
all these children are given educational ad-
vantages. 1t also urges provision for nee
essary roads in all counties where the In
dians have received allotments, that the
civil service rules be so extended as to in
clude Indian agents and employees, and that,
in broad way, the general management
of Indian affairs be lifted out of politics
and placed on basis of good administra-
tion which looks to making citizens and
not dependents or enemies of these wards
of the nation. Here is one subject, at least,
on which right-minded men of all parties
in Congress ought to be united.

with wholesale violation of the civil serv-

specifications of his offences. 1t is alleged
that Gov. Flower, although repeatedly re-
quested to enforce the provisions of the
law, which provides for the filling of places
from those graded highest as the result of
competitive examination, has permitted
those places to be filled without any exam
ination, and has taken no action to rene
dy such violations of the law.

A New Field of Work Opening Up to Them
in the Coke Regions.
~ The Pittsburg Dispatch strongly favors
the importation of negro labor from the
south, 1t says that thOusandsIof them
are coming into the coke region and tax
ing the place of the Huns, and in the
main they haYe given satisfaction.
The objection Ito the Huns is their
! lawlessness. Periodically they strike,
and break out into desperate violence.
The Dispatch says that the negroes re-
spect authority, and as they can be OBJ
tanned in large numbers it is no longer
necessary to import the worst class Of
aliens.
1t is claimed that the negroes can earn
higher wages IN Pennsylvania than they
can make in the south, and this induce
ment, it is thought, will draw them to
that state, as soon as they find out that
| they are wanted there.
We are not so sure that our southern
negroes will be satisfied with the condi-
tons existing in the Pennsylvania coke
region. If they 60 there they will have
hard taskmaSters, and the severe winters
will kill good many OF them. If they
can stand 1T, they may make money, but
they will find themselves looking back

Our Heavenly Father, IN his inscrutable
wisdom, has taken from this Sabbath
school or beloved superintendent,
William Martin, to that upper and better
kingdom, He has been taken from his
life's work to rest from his labors, but
his work will live after him.
His was a life devoted to Pleasant
Hill Sunday School. He had been su-
perintendent of this school for many
years, going in and out among US, ever
kind and courteous. Would that we
had an Elisha that the cloak of our be
loved superintendent could fall upon
and be as worthily worn.
He passed from this life as only a
Christian can-with his eyes fixed on. the
eternal city,. aud not cloud between
him and his Savior. With knowledge
born of faith he looked forward to those
many mansions. his Savior had prepared
for him. He is happy now and soon
some of us his happiness may see. tor he
has gone before US and we will try to
meet with him on that shining shore.
Let us, therefore, like him, be faithful,
walking before God with perfect heart
and doing that which is right in the
sight of God. We would especially re-
member his prompt attendance ana cor
dial participation in all religious services
and works.

are his thoughts as our thoughts, but

ing that He may give US grace and
patience to run the race that is set
before us, and that double portion of
our superintendent's spirit may rest
upon us.
