An old lady went into a Rutland savings
bank Monday and presented a book that she
had taken out over 20 years ago. She
said that she had deposited $500 in the
bank at that time and had been told by
friends in New York state, where she lived,
that the account had outlawed. A clerk
examined the book and found that the
last entry had been made in 1873. He
figured up the interest, which amounted
to little over $500, and handed it to the
depositor, together with the $500. The
old lady was overjoyed and concluded that
she would leave the money. She refused
new book, saying that the old one was
good enough for her. The woman had
not been in Vermont since the last deposit
was made

question, there will he Al votes-just
enough. But if they insist np)n attach
ing free-silver amendment to any meas
ure, they know that il will defeat that
measure, and they will do IL, if at all, for
that purpose. They thereby make it no
longer a Republican measure, no longer
one which the Republicans can support as
party. They happen to hold, in the pres
ent division of the Senate, a veto power to
match that of the President If he can
veto any measure they want, they also can
veto any measure which he may want, and
they publicly avow their intention to do it.
There are also two Populists who are be-
leved to be ready TO vote With the Repub-
lcans on the tariff and some other ques-
tions, but who are, above all, for free sill
YER 1t is with them as with the senators
from the silver states; if they see fit to
fasten a silver amendment on any measure,
they know it must defeat that measure,
and do it with that intention. But it is
not impossible that they or the free silver
senators may deem it their duty to give the
government an adequate revenue, aud the
nations industries adequate protection. If
so, they will simply refuse to use the silver
issue as a veto of needfu legislation.
This division of the Senate, it will be
seen, eft no inducement for bargain of
any kind. The Republicans will not have
power to pass any measure which does not
suit the two silver senators, or the two Pop
ulists, or some of the Democrats. This
state of things will not be altered by the
admission of a Republican from Delaware
because 45 votes will then be required for
a majority, nor by the admission of two
Republican senators from Utah. because As
will then be required for a majority, and
with the three added :he Republicans will
have only As votes.
