I'FaE NEXr CONGRESS-.

The New York Tribune of a recent
date, contained an interview with Ex.
Senator Manderson, of Nebraska. in
which he expressed the opinion that a
majority Of the voters OF his State arc
for international bimetallism, but not
for independent free coinage of silver.
When asked if he thought the Rocky
Mountain States were going to cause
much trouble IN the next National Ia
publican Convention, he said thew
would try very hard to commit the
convention to silver, but lie did not be.
lieye they would bolt if defeated. In
replying to some questions MS to the
probable action of the Fifty fourth
Congress, the ex-senator stated that nc
saw no serious prospect OF any silver
legislation. The Senator is for free
silver, but he thinks the House will
chow good majority against it.
Besides, MIR. Cleveland would veto INV
bill looking to free coinage, if it could
pass Congress. There is, therefore, no
encouragement Tor the agitation Of the
silver question.
AS to the tariff. mfr. Henderson SAWS
the Senate will not he Republican on
that question, as "the Populsts, with
the possible exception of Stewart. are
free traders" He thinks that it would
be useless to attempt any general re.
vision of the tariff. But that leaves
open the question, what shall be done
TO increase the revenue? Upon this he
observes that "a merely partisan view

The Kelley Cure.

Dr. Kelley of gold-cure fame has
been sued for damages by one of his
patients who claims that the cure has
permanently injured his health. The
composition of this cure has always
been kept dead secret but the court
has ordered the doctor to make known
the ingredients of the cure on the
ground that if the charge of the plain
tiff is met by denial that the cure is
not responsible for the loss of health,
the plaintiff has Alright to demand that
the defendant shall support his denial
by proving the composition of the cure
in order that the jury may judge for it
self whether the cure is harmless or
not. The court decides also that the
composition of the. cure is not trade
secret, is not protected by patent or
copyright, and is public property as
any invention is that has been in public
use for more than two years.

Enormous Crops South.

If the season continues favorable the
fruit and vegetable crops Of Georgia and
Florida will be enormous. A letter
from Fort Valley peach grower says
he will have fully 100000 bushels of
peaches from his orchard and that the
peach crop in the vicinity of Fort Val
ley will be at least 100000 bushels.
And it must not be forgotten that all
the peach orchards of the State are not
in the immediate vicinity of Fort Val
ley. The peach orchards of south
Georgia promise bounteous yield. 1t
is not an exaggeration to say that if the
conditions remain unchanged there
will be thousands of carloads ofpeaches
moved by the Central Railroad and the
Savannah, Florida & Western railway.
The peach crop promises to be unprec-
edented in a bundance. The trees all
through south Georgia and northern
Florida are loaded with fruit. In some
localities the blight has afflicted the
trees to some extent, but it will hardly
become general. The outlook for
melons is rather startling for those who
hope for good prices A dispatch states
that Florida will send to market 5000
carloads. And the Georgia crop will
be almost, if not quite, as large.

Newspapers and Salaries.

The salaries paid by many of the Met
ropolitan newspapers are almost beyond
belief. Charles A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun, gets $4,000 a year,
which is said to be the highest salary
paid any editor in the United States, if
not in the world. He would not ex-
change his situation for the presidency
Probably next to Mr.. Dana comes Mr..
Carvalho. He is the personal represen-
tative of Mr.. Pulitzer in The World es-
tablishment and is said to receive S25,-
600 year. The World is credited with
making clear nearly 100000 year.
The managing editor, Farrelley, gets
$500 salary, which would be ridicu-
lousy low, We're not the position more
nominal than active. Arthur Brisbane
receives $50 a week from the same
paper The salary of w. G. Reick, city
editor of the Herald, is said to be as
high as $25, 200. He is probably the
ablest executive man in Mr.. Benefits
employ. He is virtually the managing
editor of the paper. Mr.. Godkin and
Horace White Of the Post get each $10,-
600 year, besides they own large in
terests in the paper. Mr.. White was
once editor of the Chicago Tribune.
These are only specimens of the pay
awarded to the great newspaper men
in New York city Other cities east
and west are not far behind. Verify

with the sword attached.-Press and

Woman Suffrage.

The woman suffragist movement in
New York now has a new and formid-
able adversary; it is organized opposi-
ton by women themselves. The oppo-
sition party comprises a large number
of the very foremost women of the
Empire state who will fight to the bit
ter end the submission of the question
of woman suffrage to a popular vote.
1t seems that their chief objections to
the suffrage are four in number: l..
That women can, without the ballot,
"get anything they want" from the
legislature 2. That voting will "wean
them away from their natural sphere"
3 That if they were to get the ballot,
they would "want office and all the
appurtenances of political life !" 4.
That women can "never equal men in
fighting force, can never defend the
Government like men,

Town Correspondents.

The town correspondent is just as es-
sential to the successful running of a
newspaper as is the editor or the
"devil." Take away either and the
paper suffers, both in the quantity and
quality of news furnished each week.
The TIMES has always been favored
with enthusiastic and efficient core
spondents, and the success of the paper
is largely due to their efforts.
While we have nothing but words of
praise for our correspondents, the fact
remains that many of them are not
trained in the newspaper profession,
and few suggestions will doubtlessly
be received in the same spirit they are
given, desire to aid rather than criti-
else.
The ideal correspondent knows about
nearly every thing that is going on in
his community. He is called we'll
posted, and when asked about any
thing of more than ordinary moment
that has happened in town, knows all
the details. The best correspondent is
not ashamed to confess that he knows
great many small things. Some peo-
pie, who arrogate to themselves superior
wisdom, effect to despise the man or
woman who knows all the neighbour
hood gossip. 1t is demonstrated every
day, however, that these same people
listen to the gossip they hold in such
light esteem with greedy ears.
To our esteemed correspondents we
say, send us all the news important
and trivial. The only difference be-
tween an important and trivial item is
the attention and space you give it. If
something of more than ordinary inter-
est has happened, write us all about it,
giving the details in full. A common
every day item should be dismissed
with line or two.
But this class of items, which make
up nine-tenths of what happens in
every community, are often clipped too
short Don't say "John and Mary
were married last week." and stop
there Tell on what day the ceremony
was performed, and by whom; also
whether the newly married couple took
a trip, and if so to what points, and
where they will make their future
home. Don't say "Henry Jones has
sold his farm" Tell us to whom he
sold it, for how much, and if it was his
home place, where he intends to live
hereafter.
"Brevity is The soul of w.t." is an
axiom too old to dispute, but if news
papers get too witty nobody laughs. So
be brief, but also complete and accurate.
Don't think any item too trivial to send
in, we are to judge whether it shall be
printed or not.
To our correspondents we send greet
ing. We haven't the pleasure of your
personal acquaintance, but if fortune
and circumstances permit we shall visit
you at your homes in the near future
and talk over ways and means of keep
ing THE TIMES the most newsy paper
in southern Vermont.

The New Woman.

The humorous press of the country
has great deal to say just now about
the new man and the new woman.
Here is a specimen paragraph from the
Toledo Blade. "The new man does not
start out well. In Detroit one of this
class killed himself because his first
baking was a failure. Perhaps his wife
informed him it was no such bread as
her father used to bake"
Exaggerated humor of this descrip-
ton has its legitimate uses, but when
something of the kind is found in nine
out of every ten papers and magazines
one picks up, the effect is nauseating;
and it is the more shocking to every
sentiment of gallantry that this TRADE
against decency is carried ON at the eX-
pense of the woman every time. What
have the women of this country done
that they deserve to be made the butts
of these scurrilous jokes that find their
Are the women Of to-day less modest,
less virtuous, less womanly than their
mothers or grandmothers were? Is the
supply of jokes about exhausted? Are
the funny men of the day, to call them
humorous would be a misnomer, writ
ers of no resources? Is the refined, in
tellectual humor of Addison and Lamb
and Irving entirely a thing of the past?
would be ''rhe prostitution Of humor;
will it ever again have place in Amer
can literature?N

IT'S AN AWKWARD CASE.
Ought a Militia Officer Who Has
Been
ON A MILITARY COURT MARTIAL

accept or Occupy a Subordinate PO-
sitiOn Under an officer He Has Pre-
viOusly Court MartiaIed?
There is a sure enough war in Kansas
national guard official circles and there
with England is not declared.
This war is all over the election of
colonel of the first regiment X. N. G.
which occurred at Lawrence last week.
Major General j. W. F. Hughes, the
commanding officer of the guard is one
of the parties most interested in the
first regiment election and he did what
he could to defeat the election of Lieut..
Colonel Charles McCrum of Garnett who
is now colonel elect of the first regim ent.
Lieutenant Colonel McCrum is Dem
ocrat and was one of the members
of the famous court martial
which tried and found the present major
general guilty of disobeying the orders
of Governor Lewelling who was COM
mander in chief of the militia during
the legislative war, and expelled him in
disgrace.
Political fortunes have placed the de-
posed colonel of the Third regiment at
the head of the guard as major general,
and it is not agreeable to see the men
who voted to expel him from the guard
in disgrace, ptomoted to positions of hon
or under him. Besides it is not conduc-
i've to the best Of discipline for a subor
dinate to have stood in the position of
censor to his chief.
When the time came to elect a colonel
for the First regiment Major General
Hughes favored the reelection of Col
onel George E. Howard, of Pittsburg.
The election of colonel lies With the
commissioned officers of the regiment,
and in the First regiment there are at
present tN enty-seven commissions Of
ficers.
When the officers assembled at Law
renee to elect colonel it was found that
Lieutenant Colonel McCrum had clear
majority of the votes necessary to make
him colonel and he was elected to that
Office.
Before the colonel of a regiment can
assume command, his election must be
ratified by a commission signed by the
governor as commander in chief of the
state troops. 1t is understood that a
movement is now on foot to induce Gov
ernor Morrill, to refuse to sign Colonel
McCrum's commission.
