Vermont has a sort Of maternal in

For many years Corea has been tri-
butary to China. The ruler of 'the
Hermit Kingdom" as it has been cal
led, yearly acknowledged his depen-
dence on the Tartar Emperors of Chi

that of many feudal conditions of
tenure, served to show his position
rather than to enrich the treasury of
the master. The war between China

During the financial panic of 1898
not one of the Vermont trust compan
les or savings banks even suspended
payment. The State Inspector of FL
nance in his annual report says that
during the month of July and August
of that year, when the panic was at
its height, those institutions paid out
in excess Of deposits almost equaled
the entire sum drawn out the preced-
ing July and August. From this state
ment it would appear that the conf
dence of the depositors was soon re-
stored The savings banks and trust
companies of this state are managed
by conservative financiers and it does
not seem at all probable that any
more wrecking, like that of the ST.
Albans savings bank some years ago,
would occur in Vermont again. Even
that bank, hopeless as it's condition
at first looked, paid about ninety per
cent. of the depositors' claims.-Land-
mark.

Duluth Has Il Little Sensation on the
Side.

Duluth, Mimi, March 6. - A great
| sensation was caused in Duluth to-
| day by the publication by the Herald
| of the details of an alleged attempt to
bride members of the city council to
| support what is known as the Clyne
| water works proposition. Originally
this proposition, which was made BY
John Clyne, q sewer and street con-
tractor of West Duluth. was for the
construction Of pumping station. a
water main extension to Lester river
and a duplicate of the present plant in
the city owned by the Duluth Gas and
Water company. When a special cleo
ton resulted in a majority in favor of
the city purchasing the company's
plant, the Clyne proposition was mod
flied so as to embrace only the con
struction Of a new pumping station
and Il water main extension to con-
meet with the old plant which the city
has voted to purchase from the Du-
luth Gas and Water company. Those
pushing the scheme wanted the city
to award them contract without adj
vertising for bids, in the sum of $780,
600. Bonds for the faithful perform
ance of the work were offered in the
sum OF SltO.CuO. with w. j. homes
and II. H. Phelps as sureties. The
city fathers did not see anything to
be gained by doing away with the
regular custom Of advertising for bids
although w. 7. Holmes lohhied per
siStently in its favor The scheme was
supposed to be dead until few weeks
ago Holmes again began to cultivate
the acquaintance Of the aldermen and
several other men commenced a cam
paign in behalf of the Clyne PROPOSE
ton. Finally Holmes approached Aid.
Cox and is said to have offered him
a bride, and he was to give other al
dermen $500 each. Holmes came
here about four years ago from Fergus
Falls and established WOODEN min at
New Duluth which subsequently,
failed. since when he has been dealing
in municipal bonds and mortgages.

there is a curious lack of poetic trib-

but when you come to think of it.,
he was not the kind Of a man who an
