Senator Hoar of Massachusetts did
not speak too harshly when he de-
clared that if President Cleveland
does not veto the Senate tariff bill
''he will stand before the country "A
disgraced, discredited and beaten
man." Indeed, Mr.. Cleveland's own
assertions leave no doubt of this fact.
He denounced the Senate bill as the
Product of dishOnor aud pertdy, and
asked How can We face the people
after indulging in such outrageous
determinations and violations of
principle ?" 1t MIR. Cleveland, there
fore, signs the Senate bill he stamps
himself as a partner in the pertidy
and dishonor which he has denounced
and as a submissive agent in subject
ing the industries of the United States
to the Outrageous discrimination"
dictated by Bourbon hatred and
envy of the North.
The act of the President in APPROX
ing or disappearing legislation is as
distinctly independent and RESPONSE
bic as that OF either house of Con-
gress in enacting legislation. The
President cannot pretend that he is
obliged by circumstances to bring
disgrace and discredit upon himself
by appending his name to the shame
lessly inequitable measure which has
been sent TO him from Congress. He
cannot pretend to throw off upon the
Senate the perddy and dishonor at
taching to his own voluntary act. If
he signs the bill he discredits himself
not only before the American people,
but before the world. If he signs the
bill he disgraces himself by proclaim
ing his own dishonor and he confess
es himself beaten and vanquished by
the very men whom he had endeav-
ored to coerce into submission.
Senator Hoar is right. Mr.. Cleye-
land will, indeed, be digraced, beaten
and discredited the moment he affix-
es his signature to the Bourbon tariff
bill. 1t is easy to imagine with what
terrific outbreak Andrew Jackson
would have rejected a similar alter
native of dishonor and perfidy and
have sent an indignant veto thun-
dering down the ages. But Mr.. Cleve-
land is several degrees removed from
Andrew Jackson.-N. Y. Press. ..

SUGGESTION FOR VERMONT REPUB-
LICANs.--The problem of Vermont
this year, as never before, is not to
convince voters that they ought to
support the Republican ticket, but
simply to get them to come to the
polls. The danger is from lethargy.
The average voter does not realize
how carefully the people of the close
or doubtful States watch the size of
Vermont's majority at every Septem-
Der election when any vital issue is
at stake. This year, with congress
sional elections pending, which will
change the complexion of the next
National House of Representatives,
and the whole country burdened with
an unprecedented business depres-
sion, the expression of the Green
Mountain State will be awaited more
anxiously than ever. The duty of
every Republican is to vote, and the
problem is how to get the voter to
perform his duty. The Republican
State committee will not undertake
any public campaign, but will depend
on the town committees to do the
necessary work. We believe it would
be well if the Republicans in every
town in Windham county could ar
range to hold single rally at some
time within the next two weeks to
arouse the attention of the voters,
and seeing that every man is person
ally urged to come to the polls

THE New TREATY WITH CHINA
The new treaty with China has been
ratified by the Senate. 1t prohibits
the entrance of Chinese laborers into
the United States for a period of ten
years. A Chinese laborer who may
have lawful wife or child or parent
in this country, or who may have
property to the value of 81, 900 or
debts owing him of a like amount,
may return to the United States
within year, or two years if his
stay be prolonged by causes beyond
his control. Officials, teachers, stu
dents, travellers or merchants may
travel at pleasure in this country on
the production of a certificate from
the Chinese government countersign-
ed by the American representative at
the port of his departure. All rights
of foreigners in the United States, ex-
cept the right to become naturalized
citizens, are guaranteed Chinese citi-
zens coming under these regulations.
Further, this government recognizes
the Chinese governments right to en-
force registry regulations for Ameri.
cans in China similar to those i'm
posed upon Cinnamon in this country.

A NOVEL SUIT.-A special dispatch
from Indianapolis, to the Boston
Herald says 'r.- -,H
VIM. Stanley,a farmer of this coun-
ty, and. until he joined the Populists,
a Democrat, has consulted a lawyer
with reference to bringing a suit
against Congressman Bynum for
damages. Stanley says that when
Bynum was candidate, two years
ago, he said that the farmers would
get $1.25 per bushel for their. wheat
if Cleveland was elected, instead of
the 80 or 80 cents they were getting
at the time. Believing that the Dem
ocrats would carry the country and
relying upon Bynum's promise that
wheat would be $1.25 per bushel,
Stanley says hesowed a large amount
OF wheat and had a crop in the two
years of $500 bushels.
Instead of getting the promised
price he was compelled to sell for go
cents last year and for 45 cents this
year. He intends to sue Bynum for
the difference between heprice prom
Used and the price received. The Pop
ulists are urging the suit for the fun
of it, but Stanley is in dead earnest
He says the suit will be filed within a
few days.

To AID THE VoTER.-The amended
Australian Ballot law, passed by the
Legislature of 1892, will be used at a
State election for the first time in
September. The amended law pro-
vides that all the nominations of each
political party, except those for Rep
resentatives to the General Assembly,
shall be arranged in a separate column
on the ballots, and that each party
ticket shall be separated from the
other party tickets by black parallel
lines, with blank square at the head
of each party ticket; also that the
voter may cast his ballot for the
entire list of candidates in any column
by placing a cross in the square over
such column. Heretofore it has been
necessary for the voter to Indicate
his choice by makinga cross opposite
the name of every candidate on the
ticket. This option still remains to
the freeman, but the voter who desires
to vote the straight ticket can do so
easily and quickly by making a single

ROAD IMPRovEMENT.-Two State
roads of macadam, running the en-
tire length of the State on either side
of the mountains. That's a plan we
would be glad to see the next legisla-
ture adopt Under the present sys-
tenn we have no permanent and sub
stantial roads in Vermont, and never
will have the results of this system
are just little better than no at
tempt at Improvement. at all the
cost is great enough to pay for sub
stantial stone roads. 1t seems very
strange that this condition of things
should go on unchanged, yet it still
prevails, and a revolution toward a
better system can only be accom-
plished after many efforts and much
public discussion. 1t is almost or
quite impossible for Vermonters to
understand, first, that good macad-
am or gravel roads are in the long
run the cheapest as regards construc-
ton and maintenance and, second,
that they are estimably more profit
able, both in lessening the cost of
transportation and improving the
value of property. A couple of State
roads would make an impressive and
instructive object lesson, and in the
course of time would lead to first
class system of roads throughout the
State.-St. Johnsbury Republican.

The Russian Thistle,


Samples of a weed sent to Prof.
Jones of the Vermont State Agricul-
tas~~l Station at Burlington from the
northern part of this county, sup
posed to be Russian thistle, are pro-
nounced by him to be not Russian
thistle but SOW thistle, a very bad
weed. The Russian thistle he de-
scribes as not belonging to the thistle
family at all, but as a harmless look
ing plant in early summer, tender and
juicy, which sheep, cattle and horses
Ikea member of the same family as
the pig weed. 1t then has a slender
leaf, tipped with spines and this leaf
falls off in August and is followed by
many new shoots covered with spiney
leaves, the flowers being small, OF
paper like texture and rose colored.
Later the plants become rigid and
grow rapidly two or three feet high,
and each plant bears 10000 or &c.,
600 seeds. Prof. Jones says the Rus
sian thistle has not been found east
of Madison, Wis, and thinks there
is no immediate danger of its spread
ing to this region, it being better
adapted to a prairie country, over
which the plant rolls in the wind late
in the fall, distributing it's seeds in
that way.-Plattsburgh Republican
