again, and told Taylor that he had,

by a gunshot wound. To this Taylor

MINOR NOTES.

The House joint resolution proposing an
election of senators by the people was laid
before the Senate Tuesday, and referred to
the committee on privileges and elections.
Our little navy has been kept busy for
the last year or two attending to foreign
affairs. The cruiser Columbia has been
again despatched to Bluetields on account
of the insurrection there. The Nicara-
guans declare that American residents are
the rebels.
The Senate sugar investigating committee
examined Broker Edw, j. Levy, of the New
York firm of Wheeler & Co. Tuesday.
Mr.. Levy was before the committee Mon
day. gave to the committee a photograph
of what was said to be an order for sugar
stock drawn by Senator Camden of West
Virginia. Senator Camden denied that he
ever gave such an order, and that if such
representation was made to the committee
it was forgery.
Twelve of the II members of the eXecu-
tive committee who recently founded the
Young Mems Republican organization in
this state, met at Montpelier Tuesday and
organized by electing d. J. Foster of Bur
lington, president: j. II. Watson, Brad
ford, vice president; Fred Fleetwood,
Morrsville, secretary; Fletcher ID. Proctor,
Proctor, treasurer. The matter of consti-
tuition and bylaws was left to a committee
to be appointed by the president. The
committee will report at future meeting

Blessed to Dwell Together in Unity.

Two fire eaters, Senator Butler and Gov.
Tillman, declared in favor of Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson as the next presidential
nominee of the Democrats, at a largely-at-
tended meeting at Columbia, S. c., last
week. Tillman said that if Stevenson had
been nominated two years ago instead of
"that old bag of beef from New York. he
would not have betrayed the party. He
charged that Cleveland was in league with
the manufacturers, and shouted: "When
Judas betrayed Christ with kiss he had
no more backness and treachery in his
heart than that old scoundrel."
This sentiment was received with loud
cheering. The governor closed by saying
that he had held his faction in line with
the Democracy two years ago because he
had not then thought the time had come
to abandon the party, "but," he shouted,
"if | can see one glimmer of hope of a
union between the South and West, prom
ising a chance of relief to you, pledge
myself here and now to lead youif you will
follow me-" This was also received with
tremendous cheers.

The accredited representative of the
Pope in America, Monsignor Satolli has
approved the course of Bishop Waterson
of Columbus, Ohio, in requiring the eXpul-
sion of saloon keepers, manufacturers and
sellers of Intoxicating liquors and those in
any way connected with the business, from
membership in Catholic societies. This
sweeping decision Immediately concerns
only the diocese of Columbus, but it is vi
tally interesting to every diocese in the
American Catholic church. Temperance
reformers everywhere will watch its effect
with interest.

Mr.. Cleveland should Take Memory

MIR, Cleveland should Take Memory
Lessons.
"You know how much | deprecate the
incorporation in the proposed bill of the
income tax feature" said President Cleve-
land last week in his letter which was read
in the House.
The New York Press calls down Mr..
Cleveland by quoting as follows from his
message of last December: "The commit
tee, after full consideration, and to provide
against temporary deficiency which may
exist before the business of the country adj
iusts itself to the new tariff schedules,
have wisely embraced in their plan few
additional internal revenue taxes, including
a small tax upon incomes derived from
certain corporate investments. These new
assessments are not only absolutely just
and easily borne, but they have the further
merit of being such as can be RENTED
without unfavorable business disturbance
whenever the necessity of their imposition
no longer exists.
The income tax provision was not adopt
ed by the ways and means committee until

nennington,s SHINING.

When one reads that a Massachusetts
city like Fitchburg, with less than 10000
inhabitants, spent S1,000,000 in one year
for liquor under the license regime he is
devoutly thankful for prohibition, and he
renews his thanks when he considers a
record of seven to IL arrests yearly, in
town like Brattleboro, with a population
exceeding 1000. But the picture looks
differently at different angles. The recent
state firemen's tournament at Bennington
was rare date for the sons of Bacchus
and Belial, according to a correspondent in
that town, who writes to the Boston Her
aid Had full license to sell intoxicating
liquor been given, it could not have been
more freely dispensed than it was that day.
Forty places in the village were counted
where everything in the liquor line was
sold, and they employed on an average five
men. One place even went so far as to
hang out a sign Fresh ice cold lager for
sale here This was considered too much
and the sign was soon taken down. Ten
perance people started a petition to the
officials, asking that these places be closed,
but petitioners enough could not be secured
to even warrant its being presented. Gamb-
ling of all kinds was freely carried on in
the hotels, the streets and on the grounds.
Roulette, faro, chuckc-luck, monte and
other gambling games were as frequent as
they would be in Mexico" Shame on
Bennington! Her citizens must be callous
to law (prohibitory) and order and her Off
cials grossly negligent of duty when such a
| condition of affairs exists

"A Constitutional Mistake"

Ex-senator Edmunds ON Cleveland's
Letter---the Methods of Electing SEM
atOrs.
Hon. George F. Edmunds is quoted as
saying 81 will willingly say to the public,
that the President made a constitutional
mistake in sending such letter to men,
Der of Congress, with any intent for it to
be made public, and do not know of any
precedent for such action. The senate al
ways has been and always will be, so long
as constituted through the election by the
legislatures of the states, what John Adams
called 'the sheet anchor of the republic.
On the whole, it has been of invaluable
service in the good government of this
country. This attack upon the constitu-
ton and the House provision for the cleo
tion of the senators directly by the people
is an immense deusion and an attempted
disturbance of conservative balance, as the
Senate is the feature that the makers
of the constitution intended to have The
most pronounced effect. The quality OF
the men selected through popular vote is
much more likely to reduce the quality OF
the body, and is perfectly obvious to any
person who is at all read in the politica
| history of this or other countries"

In the Senate Friday.

The President Defed by Senators Smith
and Vest, who Say the Senate Bill or
Nothing---Hin as SardOnic Defen-
der.
Rhetorical iavelins of defiance and de-
nunciation were hurled by the United
States senators at President Cleveland Fri
day, because of his interference theIprevious
day in the tariff muddle through his letter to
Mr.. Wilson. When the message from the
House asking further conference on the
tariff bill was presented to the Senate, Sen
ator Voorhees, of Indiana stated simply
that the Senate conferees awaited further
action. Senator Smith of New Jersey said
he would vote for further conference.
The presidents letter accusing the Demo-
cratic senators of violating Democratic
principles because they had not placed raw
materials on the free list was answered by
Mr.. Smith, who said the present was not
the time for such action. The reduction
of the duty on sugar was as much as the
refining industry could now bear. In sub
| stance Mr.. Smith declared that the House
could take the Senate bill or nothing.
Senator Hill of New York followed with
a motion that the Senate recede from its
amendments to the House bill imposing
duty on bituminous coal and iron ore Mr..
| Hill declared that the Democratic party
was committed to the policy of free raw
materials. After stabs at Mr. Cleveland
for his letter of acceptance in 1892, and
extended reference to the Presidents let
ter to Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Hill said: 81 am
here to defend the President S letter in so
far as it demands that the party shall not
be led astray into the violation of Demo
cratic pledges and principles. Upon the

is right, and you know it. You cannot
answer his arguments. You cannot sue
cessfully dispute his propositions. You
cannot doubt his sincerity and patriotism.
You must yield in the end to his views.
You cannot stand up against the sentiment
of the great Democratic masses of the
country which will rally around the Presi-
dent in his contest with you upon this par
ticular branch of the subject. The time to
Weld is now, before there is further humil-
iation, embarrassment and discord." Mr..
Hill also spoke in favor of no duty on SUI
gar.
Mr.. Vest of Missouri declared that the
, President had no right to disregard the
spirit of the constitution. He had no right
= to trample on the sensibilities of Other
members of his party for any purpose
= Where, he asked, did the President of the
5 United States find the right, by private
? letter, to try to influence legislationP Mr.
! Vest asserted that this bill as it passed the
= Senate would become a law, or the McKin

A Suit Settled
which Involved the Control of the Gem
trail Vermont Railroad.


At a meeting of the stockholders and di-
rectors of the Central Vermont railroad
company, held at st. Albans Saturday last,
the action of the company authorizing the
increase of its capital stock was revoked.
The chancery proceedings of the Grand
Trunk Railway company against the Cen
tral Vermont railroad and its directors, in
stituted few months since, are by agree
ment to be discontinued. This action
does away with all matters of disagree
ment between the Grand Trunk and Cen
tral Vermont, and leaves the Central Yer
mont in a strong financial position.
The suit was entered in the United
States circuit court Feb. Is last, and dock
eted to be heard at the May term of the
court 1t involved the issue of $1,000
600 of capital stock voted by the Central
Vermont and the issue of the first mort
gage bonds and the control of the road.
