but few wealthy men. And | will
not be so rash as to say that all
those we do have do their full duty
as taxpayers. If every taxpayer
would do his part periodically and
honestly, we might behold wonders
in municipal benefits But il in some
way wealthy men shirk responsible
ity as part Of the body polite, why,
then, the burden OF taxation must
necessarily fall upon the less able
portion of the community. This is a
very important point for trustees to
consider when they commence to ex-
pend money for municipal purposes.
1t must be remembered, also, that
we have large amount OF real es-
tate in this village not taxed at all.
Wealth is hidden away from public
responsibility, and the public burdens
are largely laid upon our homes. So
it can be plainly seen, that what at
first would seem to the casual OBJ
server a solid foundation for indis-
eliminate taxation, upon second
thought will be seen not to be so very
solid after ALL
| do not wish to, neither do | plead
against improvements, especially
permanent ones.
Naturally, it would be my delight
that our village have every needed
Improvement. So, also, would it be
my delight that every poor man have
a home of his own, and a good COW
in his barn. But before we can
properly do all these things in cor.
porative or public capacity, we must
wait until conditions are more near
ly right for them.
And lastly, we should remember
that the principles governing indi-
vidual and cooperative responsible.
ity are very much the same. Indi-
dividuals would strive to manage
private affairs so that the best re-
suits would come with the least
friction and expense. So should the
chosen officers of corporate bodies
try to manage public affairs.
| throw out these thoughts, not to
excite belligerency, but rather that
the thinking, sensible men of this vii.
lage may take them into renewed
consideration, for the good that may
come to us as a corporation now,
and in the years to come.

THE VERMONT DEMOCRATS.

The Vermont democrats are get
ting into line just as if they really ex-
pected to elect democratic president
next fall. Col, Bradley b. Smallev
voted with the majority to have the
national convention at Chicago, and
now Vermont democrats are wonder
ing who will get on the delegation.
1t seems to be generally conceded
that Col. II. Z. Folsom of Lyndon
vile will be one OF the delegates at
large, and if chosen he will add
strength to the delegation. FORBES"
learns that Vermont democrats are
solid for Cleveland, but it he is not a
candidate they will favor his residu.
airy legatee, From the same source
we are informed that Hon. Seneca
HaSelton, eX-minister to Venezuela,
will be the democratic candidate for
governor. Mr.. Haselton was very
shabbily treated by President Cleve-
land and the state department and
has the confidence not only of the
democrats OF Vermont but of the re-
pubhcans as well.

now no HELp THE ARMENIANs.

The announcement that the Sublime
Porte refuses to permit the agents of the
Red Cross to enter Turkish dominions in
order to distribute money and supplies
contributed by foreign nations for the
relief of the suffering Armenans is a
severe setback to the benevolent inten-
tons of those who had looked upon the
Red Cross Society as being the best
agency to conduct this work. And yet,
this policy of the Porte is in direct keep
ing with its whole cruel course of murder
and plumber, which it has allowed and
prosecuted, and concerning the nature,
extent and barbarity OF which it has so
sought to blind other nations. 1t is OPP
posed to allowing any other foreigners,
than those on the ground, to go into the
desolated districts, mingle with the peo-
pie and witness the ruin there wrought.
1t wants no intelligent and benevolent
spirited foreigners to be the eye and ear
witnesses of its cruel policy of annihi-
lation and religious persecution. Its
course i'll this respect is not to be won
dered at.
Considering the season of the year,
winter, with the difficulty of travelling
and transportation through Eastern
Turkey at all times, and especially in
winter, it may be that the work of relief
can be carried on there better and more
expeditiously, by Americans and English
already on the ground than could be
done by the Red Cross Society. Much
has been done already through mission
aries and Others living in the country, to
feed the hungry and cothe the naked.
If the Porte will allow this to go on I'M
hindered it may be the readiest and most
etfectual way to help that suffering peo-
| pie. The American Board has already
sent forward considerable sums, given
to 1T tor this purpose, which, through our
| MISSIONARIES Sltuah.l IN the very centre
of the desolated and starving people
have brought temporary relief to perish
ing families. Let this work go on. The
Board, we understand, will continue to
receive and transmit funds. Meanwhile
let prayer be offered, not only for the
missionaries and prosecuted Christians
but, as the little girl whispered in the ear
of her father, who at morning family
prayers was supplicating mercy for the
prosecuted Armenians, pray for the
naughty Turk, papa pray for the naughty
Turk" Perhaps Christendom has not
prayed enough and rightly for the
naughty Turk."-[Vermont Chronicle

Congressman CIRCUITS herd of cat
tie has been found to be in a badly
diseased condition and nearly the en-
tire herd killed. The congressmans
brothers gubernatorial boom is,
however, in an extremely healthy
condition.-[ Bennington Banner.
There is still a good demand for
fine carriage horses, and owing TO
the general disposition on the part
Of farmers to raise scrub stock in
stead of higher grade Of animals,
this state of affairs is likely to con-
tinue.
What Vermont breeders should do
therefore is to pay especial attention
to the production Of horses that will
meet the demand for gentlemen
drivers and carriage horses. Mr..
Williams is right in saying that the
Morgan family are distinctively a
roadster class of horses. They have
the desired size, speed and powers OF
endurance, and their beauty as a
family is not excelled. 1t costs no
more after colt is once secured to
raise a good Morgan horse than it
does to produce a plug. and when
the farmers of this state realize this
fact and act upon it, there will be
some probability of Vermont again
becoming famous for her fine horses,
and possessing market which will
bring buyers from all parts of the
country Burlington Free Press.

The MURDER OF PEARL BRYAN.

Against Each Other.


Against Each other.
CINCINNATI, Feb. S.-Although it is
week since the decapitated body of Pearl
Bryan was found near Fort Thomas KY,
there has been more excitement over the
tragedy in the Kentucky suburbs than
on any previous day. Scott Jackson and
Alonzo Walling, the suspects, who were
roommates while attending the Ohio Den
tai college, were confessing against each
other all day yesterday. When they are
face to face they call each other liars and
exhibit murderous feeling toward one an
other
All efforts have been directed to finding
Pearl Bryan's head In the series of con
fessions jackson says Walling carried it
in valise to the Coyington suspension
bridge, and he thinks Walling threw it in
the river, or he might have carried it with
him to his home at Hamilton and thrown
1t from the Miami bridge at that place.
Walling says he had nothing to do with
the decapitation or disposal of the head,
but he recited long stories which led the
officers to believe that jackson had buried
it in a sand bar III the Ohio river, oppo-
site Dayton, Ky, or dropped it in the sewer
on Richmond street. Large forces worked
all day at both places, and they secured
the bloodstained coat of Jacks 4 out of the
sewer.
There was a post mortem examination
held yesterday at which the physicians
held that the head or Pearl Bryan had
been cut off while she was alive, and they
could find no trace of drugs.
William Wood, of Grecncastle, Ind,
as well as jackson and Walling, were ar
raigned in police court yesterday, and
1 their preliminary hearings were fixed for
next Thursday. Wood, on the charge OF
aiding and abetting an abortion, was ad.
mitted to s. 600 bail. The other two sus.
poets, on the charge of murder were re-
! fused bail.
Friends of the prisoners yesterday en-
! ployed counsel Together they have re-
tanned a dozen eminent lawyers from here,
Hamilton, o., and Indiana These law
yors did not get to see their clients until
last night, when a stop was put to con.
fessions and interviews
