Our much esteemed contemporary, ,
the st. JoItnsbury CdIedonion, appear
ed, May 10th, enlarged and in new
dress of type. The Cdledonidn is al
ways a model paper and the proprie-
tor will not suffer it to fall behind any
of its neighbors-unless, perforce, the
MONITOR. We notice a little letting
down in its former orthodox rigidity
in regard to the insertion of ''cuts"
and picture advertising, and are sorry
for that; but there seems, at present,
TO be a demand in that direction which
is hard to resist.

In contradistinction to the liberality

In contradistinction to the liberality
of the Swiss people in road building,
is the meagre appropriations of
our legislatures, appropriations made
grudgingly in response to personal ap-
peal, or lobbying, rather than from
any apparent conception Of the wis
dom of liberal expenditures for road
Improvement. In this direction the
people of New England have much to
learn, and they might we'll copy the
example set by Switzerland. Each
state can well afford to inagurate
some systematic plan for the improve
ment of it's highways under the super
vision Of competent engineers. Other
states beyond the borders of New
England, notably New York, Penn
sylvania, and New Jersey, have made
rapid strides in public appreciation of
the benefits derived from a liberal
road policy, and their experience will
be of value in determining our own
legislative needs. NeaO England Jour
nal.

The whole population of the United
States could be concentrated in Texas,
estimates the New York Sun, without
bringing up the density of her popu-
lation to that of Massachusetts. In
fact if an area equal to that of Indiana
were cut off from Texas the State
would still hold the entire population
of the United States without crowd
ing us as the people of Massachusetts
are crowded. Delaware would have
more than room for us all could the
whole population be crowded as are
the inhabitants of New York City.

There is still good deal of trouble
about insurance matters in this State.
While some companies have with
drawn from the State altogether on
account of heavy alleged losses,
others have increased their rates,
and some large real estate owners,
with scattered risks are insuring
themselves just as this city is talking
of doing. Now, if it is true that in
surance companies have been losing
money through large and frequent
fires, it seems to us that it would pay
them to make more frequent inspec-
tions of buildings, to see that there
are no defective fues, no stove pipes
in contact with wood, no accumula-
ton of oiled rags or waste to generate
spontaneous combustion, and thus
reduce the risks to minimum. 1t is
true that this is being done to limit
ed extent, but, as a rule no inspection
of any premises is ever made except
at the time the insurance is first eff
fected, and after that is goes on year
after year without the slightest at
tention from any one.-The Earth.

The woman suffragist movement in
New York now has new and formid-
able adversary; it is organized op-
position by the women themselves.
The opposition party comprises a
large number of the very foremost
women of the Empire State who will
fight to the bitter 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: I. That women can,
without the ballot, "get anything they
want" from the legislature; 2. That
voting will 'wean them away from
their natural spkere;" 8. That if they
were to get the ballot, they would
''want office and all the appurtenanc-
es of political life;" 4. That women
can never equal men in fighting force,
can never defend the Government"
like men.

Burlington's population is consider
whole population of Vermont. It's
grand list is considerably more than
one sixteenth of the grand list of Ver-
mont. It's membership in the house
and forty fourth part of that body.
How is that for justice and equity?
The town of Baltimore, Windsor coun-
ty, had population of II in 1880 and
81 in 1890, and an assessed valuation
of $37, 900; and it has the same repre-
sentation in the house that Burlington
has.

Vermont did not suffer nearly SO
much from the sudden lowering of

perience of other sections Of the coun-

different States, although the damage
TO crops is not severe. In parts OF
Michigan a foot Of snow has fallen,
and in places young corn was frozen
solid. In this vicinity the mercury
fell from 81 degrees on Saturday to 40
degrees on Tuesday.

see to 1t that no trust gets possessio on
of the Vermont school book business.
Among the objections to such contro
would be the destruction of compe-
tition Which in years past has done so
much in way of improvement in pa
per stock, print, binding, illustration,
and the general Advancement in the
art of book making. Free compe-
tition too, brings prices to the lowest
living point, while trust in control
of the situation carries prices up to
the last degree of peoples patience.
This is always the way with trusts,
and Vermont should steer clear of
them on this school book question.
Outside of all trusts are soma of the
best publishing houses in New Eng
land, and Vermont should, and doubt
less VIII, make their acquaintance
and give trusts cold shoulder.

The poor taste shown in the design
of the Confederate monument at Chi
cago gives good cause for objection
among the Union veterans. The op-
position to the monument itself is not
based upon grounds which all can
conscientiously indorse, but to place
before the eyes of the world horri-
BILE picture, exaggerated and unduly
dramatic, of Confederate prisoner is
casting unnecessary and unfair odium
upon the armies that treated their
prisoners with a respect and care
which were made very prominent by
the contrasting treatment at Ander-
sonville and Libbey.

TIE TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL

The Tennessee Centennial Expo
sltion management has issued cir
cular address TO the citizens Of Ten
nesseo urging people in every coun-
ty TO help awaken a sentiment in
favor of the exposition. The hum
dreds of letters from every section
of the State received at the head
quarters indicate that a grand pop
ular uprising is in progress which
needs but little cultivation 20 grow
INTO a resistless force. There was
never 80 much enthusiasm as now,
and the grand success of the CEN
tennial seems assured. Theaddress
in part says: "The failure of Con-
gress to make an appropriation in
aid OF the centennial exposition in
Tennessee has aroused a just re-
sentiment in every part of the State.
The idea Of holding an exposition
IN 1896 to celebrate the admission
of our grand old State into the I'm
ION is fast crystallizing into a pub
Tic sentiment that is sweeping with
the resistless force of public en-
thusiasm over the State and will
demand of the general assembly an
appropriation commensurate with
the importance of the object to be
attained. Will you help to awaken
this sentiment among your people?
1t will be humiliating in the last de-
gree for Tennesseans now to fail in
this enterprise. 1t will not only
show a decline in public spirit that
will work disastrously to the very
best interests of the State. Many
manufacturing enterprises are now
looking to Tennessee. These Ell
terprises should be fostered and en-
couraged to come to our State by
every means in our power. Moth
ing will do so much to cause man
ufacturing establishments to be
built in our State as the informa-
ton which will be gathered by a
comprehensive study of our many
resources that will be exhibited at
our centennial exposition, forming
an object lesson, attractive, instruc-
i've and inviting"
