Letter From an Occasional Corre-
Spondent.
MONTPELIER, Oct. 10Th, 1894.

MONTPELIER, Oct 10Th, 1894.
Editor: Possibly your readers may be
willing to put up with another inhiction,
this time from the cold North instead of
the land of flowers and oranges.
The coming together of the solons at
Montpelier is an event looked forward to
by nominees, and the many hotels, board
ing houses and private families, who see
in this an opportunity to replenish their
exchequers. 1t brings into close COM
munion, spirits, heterogeneous and cos
mopolitan. 1t demonstrates the fact
that no matter how one at home believes
the gray matter in his brain predOmi-
mates oyer that in his neighbor, there are
yet others with whom he is brought in
contact compared with whom the meas
ure of his calibre measures less than "by
the mark twain" 1t relieves a possible
overcrowding of the brain tissue and in
the long run is of benefit to the "awak-
ened," as well as to those associated
with him at home or abroad.
Montpelier is very pretty town of
about five thousand inhabitants, sur
rounded on all sides by hills of no mean
pretensions, and claims more wealth
than any town of equal size in the State.
1t resembles Bennington, we think, per-
haps more so than any town we recall.
The water power is abundant, the Win
Ooski river, and its streets present live
ly appearance. Granite from the cele-
brated Barre quarries some eight miles
distant is being cut largely here, and fur
nishes work for a large force of men.
Its hotels and boarding houses are ample
and one, the Pavilion, nearly equal in
style and prices to those in the larger
Eastern cities. If the members of the
Legislature were to be sized up accord
ing to their hotel, there would be an i'm
mediate scramble for the Pavilion, first
floor" There are, however, many first
class boarding houses, owned and occu-
pied by well to do people, who add to
their pin money each term, and one can
find quiet localities and on fine streets,
at much less than hotel rates. This ses-
sion, many who heretofore have boarded
at hotels, have taken rooms at private
houses, and the average hotel proprietor
wears sickly smile. Your readers are
doubtless aware there is no money in
representing the constituency of this
commonwealth. The only men who
come out whole, are those who were un-
and who not only board on or in an alley,
but who wear bristles.
Speaker Stickney has broken the hearts
of many member who feels himself
worthy of better committee. We can
not all be on good committees, but it
would almost seem as if where one man
had been given the craftsmanship of one
committee (and that good on), and also
membership on two others, the next man
might have been remembered somewhat
to his liking, however, as in all things
political, not to be in the ring, is to get
left" With all due Difference to the sew
eral members of the committees, your
scribe can but announce the fact, that
with very few exceptions, the member

AYEAR'S WORK,

The Boston Sunday Journal was estab-
lished year ago under circumstances
probably different from those attending
the launching of any similar enterprise.
1t was not compelled to find a field or
create constituency. 1t was begun in
response to an insistent demand from
New England Republicans.
For more than ten years there had
been urgent pressure, not only from indi-
Yidual Republicans but by the formal
expression of Republican organizations
for the publication of Sunday edition
or the Journal. When circumstances,
therefore, made it practical to meet this
demand, the Journal found immediate
welcome. 1t attained with its first num-
Der such a circulation as most Sunday
papers have been able to secure, if at all,
only after long struggle; and, holding
the friends who were with it at the be-
ginning, it has added to their number
steadily during the year. The success
which it has gained attests the wisdom
of those who had so strenuOusly insisted
that the Republicans of New England
needed and would support Republican
Sunday paper. Perhaps it also indicates
that the promises which it made in its
first number have been kept to the salts
faction of its readers.
The Sunday Journal announced its
purpose at the outset, to regulate the
number of its pages by each weeks re-
quirements. Sixteen pages was the limit
which it anticipated for ordinary issues,
but it has been forced to exceed this in
most of the numbers of the year; and
the pressure for enlargement is so strong
that it cannot wisely be resisted. The
Journal will adhere to the plan of max
ing its issues correspond to the require
ments of the time. To-day's issue exem-
plifies, somewhat more fully but not
more accurately than the numbers which
have preceded it, the purposes of its
management.
These purposes are to secure success
by deserving it; to make Sunday paper
clean, wholesome, entertaining and
varied; to add fresh features and at
fractions from week to week; to cover all
fields of human interest and to maintain
with courtesy and candor the principles
of which it is an advocate.

who waits for the good committee to
seek him out, is tail ender." To Sc
cure membership on any important COM
mittee, one needs to importune "Mr.
Speaker" from the eve of his election to
the going down of the sun on the day
committees are announced, and back of
this must have influential friends and a
"pull."
The beginning of the second week of
the session finds work we'll under way,
and there seems to be a disposition on
the part of every member to push the
work. The concensus of opinion favors
probable long term, owing to the re-
vision of the laws, and some predict as
to a Christmas dinner in Montpelier.
No one can safely predict as to the length
of term but undoubtedly the next two
weeks will determine matters in a meas
ure. A perusal IF the list of committees
will show Bennington county well rep
resented. Wednesday the average mem
ber will gladly junket to Fort Ethan AL
len and Burlington and inform himself
as to the needs of the former place from
military standpoint and at the latter
demonstrate his gastronomic powers at
the Van Ness, and later in the week,
club himself for going, after perusing
some of the cuts sure TO be given him
through the daily and weekly editions
throughout the State. The boarding
houses, however, gladly welcome even
this short let up on their larders, for the
average member is a good feeder and
little profit would be derived from
boarders if each and every one was as
hearty an eater as II. T. EATON.

The Democracy of Massachusetts, have
nominated Hon. John E. Russell to lead
the forlorn hope in the Bay State. The
New York Press, in alluding to Cleve-
lands attitude, speaks of John Expur-
gated Russell, and to the dilemma of the
Massachusetts, Mugwumps that the
union platform of Democracy and Mug
wumpery is a rare combination of par
asitism, hypocrisy, sycophancy and
mendacity. The effort in said platform
to lay at the Republican door all the
evils of unsound money, and that the
Democracy is the party of sound cur
rency, is like saying that the Democrats
fought the Civil war and that the Re-
publicans were all copperheads. Why
not tell the truth?

The political editors and news-editors
of our Democratic exchanges should
hold a convention and get together. For
instance, the newsmen have heard that
"Grover says, mouths shut" but the
political writers say that Grover has
said nothing. Whether it is nothing or
something, the engagements for politi-
cal speaking by those connected with
the Administration are being cancelled
right and left, and so it is probable that
the news. gatherers know more about it
than the party men are willing to ac-
knowledge.

The assertion is made by Democratic
sages, and believed by some, that free
wool will decrease the use of shoddy in
American cloths. This untrue assertion
is nailed by the Wool Reporter, which
shows that English mills use much more
shoddy than those of this country. 1t
cites a number of American mills that
are producing as fine goods as can be
procured anywhere in the world, and
added that the clothing of the masses
was as cheap here as anywhere. This
lie will have "hard sleddin'" " but the
Democracy don't care. What is one
'fib' more or less to them? The work
ingman pays it all in the end.

The Democratic State machine made a
sad mistake when it lassoed poor Justice
Brown for the post of sacrifice that Gay
nor refused to take. Maynard was the
logical candidate of the Democracy for
the Court of Appeals this year, as he
was last. The ticket ought to have had
Hill at one end and the chief agent in
the Senate steal, of 1891 at the other.
Then, with Cleveland's man Lockwood
in the middle, it would have represented
the New York Democracy in a symmet-
rical manner, which would have given
great satisfaction to the patriotic citi-
zens of the State when the smashed it
at the polls.-New York Press.

Referring to Germanys notice of re-
striction to be put upon American food
products sent to the Empire, the Phila-
delphia Press remarks: "a more dis
courteous and idiotic act was never COM
mitted than that summarily repeating
these beneficial reciprocity agreements.
Over S3O,ONO,OOO of exports have thus
been sacrificed out of pure spite work.
The Democratic party never before gave
so clear an illustration of its unfitness to
govern and of its lack of patriotism, ex-
cepting when it plunged the Nation into
a terrible civil war"

That "outburst of prosperity" which
the country was assured would follow
upon the enactment of the Democratic
tariff bill, has not as yet given any indi-
cation of its appearance, but this does
not at all disconcert our Democratic
friends. Senator Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia, who is chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, has
made the remarkable discovery that
"the revival of business following the
passage of the tariff bill has been mar
velous, and with it has come the knowl,
edge to business men and citizens gen.
orally, that it was to the Mckinley bill
that the country owed its long lack of
trade and prosperity"

River" they heard dull and sickening
thud. Something must have fallen and
fallen heavily. 1t might have
been Hoke Smith landing on the fiat of
his back, but it proved to be the crash of
the accustomed Bourbon majority in
Georgia. A slump from 81 900 majority
to barely 10000 could scarcely avoid
making a crash, and small wonder that
the administration when it learned
the cause felt sick. Such a slump in
Hoke's state; in Georgia, the Bourbonest
of the Bourbons, what more surprising
thing could fate hold in store? After this

of Cleveland's cabinet will turn hair

The Rev. j. Minot Savage says:
"Those who followed the work of the
recent convention at Saratoga Springs.
N. Y, know that noteworthy change
has been made in the declaration and
articles of the Unitarian faith, a change
that settles differences of several de-
cades, and one that was ratified by the
most remarkable enthusiasm ever man
ifested at such a convention" The CEN
trail pith of the report which was finally
adopted, is that those churches in the
Unitarian fellowship accept the religion
of Jesus, holding, in accordance with
his teachings, that practical religion is
summed up in love to God and love to
man. In another sentence it is stated
that the Unitarians invite to their work
ing fellowship all who, dissenting from
them in beliefs, are yet in sympathy
with their general view and practical
ends, These were the two leading ideas
in the report, which was adopted by a
rising vote, without dissent and with
great enthusiasm. Boston people regard
this as an advance step toward church
unity.
