Vermont Next Tuesday.

The voters of Vermont will 60 to the
polls next Tuesday without any call to
arms except the moving of their own con-
sciences and he individual wish of every
man to claim his right of citizenship and
have his vote counted on the right side.
All the excitement of the campaign, so far
as Vermont is concerned, died out with
the declaration of the magnificent result in
September. Still further than this, all the
noise and glory of the campaign have de-
parted from all the Eastern states to a de-
gree never before witnessed. So well as
sured is the result in them all that the
speakers, the literature, the active man
agement, and all the campaign pyrotechnics
have been transported to the states of the
the great middle West, where in these last
days of the canvass a campaign is being
conducted which has had no parallel since
the days of 1860 in vigor and intensity.
There has been no time since 1860 and
1864 when the patriotic men of Vermont
have had so much reason for wishing to
have their votes go on record, and we be-
lieve this fact will be enough to bring each
individual voter to the polls. 1t surely
ought to be. There are not many earnest,
thoughtful Republicans who will care to
lose the satisfaction in coming years of
remembering that they voted for Mckinley,
sound money, and the preservation of the
nations honor. Voters under fifty have
never seen a crisis like this in the nations
history, and they are not likely to see this
kind of a crisis again.
1t is not necessary to prophesy as to the
size of our majority, or to say whether it
ought to be as large as in September. If
the Democratic sound money vote is given
solidly to Palmer and Buckner the major
ity may show some falling off. But if
every Republican sees that his own vote
goes into the ballot box the majority will
be large enough. The essential thing is to
bring out the votes, and this can only be
done by every man making himself COM
mttee of one to see to it that he goes to
the polls and casts his ballot.
For every voter to do this is a matter not
of partisanshp, but of patriotism.

AZ the End Of tn. Campaign.

The last week of the presidential cam
paign draws TO a close with both sides
claiming assured victory in sight. 1t is
impossible not to believe, however, after
reading all the claims, estimates and de-
spatches, that the Republican confidence
is based on actual figures, candid investi-
cation, and canvasses carefully made,
while the claims of the free-silver Democ-
racy are born either of their hopes and
their enthusiasm or of desire to bolster a
lost cause to the last moment.
The New York Herald, which is as
Hkalv - -, - -. -. - --,f .ha
7,St;to be Independent in its conclusions
!. g any of the great newspapers, makes
forecast which gives Mckinley PAS electo-
raj votes necessary to a choice 22D;
Bryan 134, and leaves 65 votes in doubt,
of which AZ are favorable to Mckinley
and % to Bryan. In this forecast all the
Eastern states, all the middle Western
states, and Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky are given to McKin-
ley. Missouri and Virginia, which the
Republicans have strong hopes of carrying,
are conceded to Bryan. Minnesota, Kan
sas, Nebraska and California are counted
doubtful.
An estimate from an Independent source
in Washington gives Mckinley 276 electo-
raj votes by including the Dakotas, Ne
braska and Oregon in the Republican COL
umn. Garret A. Hobart, the Republican
candidate for vice president, is so confident
that he says in a letter published over his
signature that 1--WE will carry all the East
ern states, all the middle Western states,
also Kentucky, North Carolina, West Vir-
ginia and old Virginia"
There is very little betting on the result
in the East, for the reason that there are
no Bryan takers. A week ago odds of
three to one against Bryan were offered in
New York with no takers. The odds have
now increased to as high as five to one
Odds are offered on Republican majority
of $4,000 in New York city and 200, in
the state.
Against this, for the Republican side,
there is the claim of George Fred Williams
that Bryan is sure of election, elsewhere
published, and the declaration, in a Chi
cago despatch, that the chairman of the
Democratic (Bryan) national committee
''awaits the result of next weeks election
with serene confidence. William Jennings
Bryan will be elected by the largest popu-
lar majority given any president in a quar-
ter of century. He will have more than
800 votes in the electoral college,"
We shall see what we shall see next
Wednesday morning. Our belief is that
the result will prove the honesty and in
tegrity of the American people; that ID
will prove their grasp and understanding
of perilous situation, and that when
sobered by great emergency they can rise
to meet it and prove anew their capacity
for self-government.
We think that the surprise is far more
likely to be at the magnitude of the Repub-
llcan and soupd-money victory than at the
closeness of the result or the strength
which the free-silver craze has developed.

Our Montpelier correspondent makes
this week what we believe 10 be the most
detailed, comprehensive and intelligent
presentation about our state expenses that
has ever been printed. His figures show
just where the increase of recent years has
come in and for what explicit purposes ap-
propriatons have been made. The in
crease since 1876 has been very large, but
it is nearly all for new institutions, and
new boards and commissions which have
been called into existence to keep the state
in line with the progressive ideas of mod
ern times. Every voter who reads this
presentation carefully can judge for him
self of the necessity or desirabiity of these
appropriations.

Major John NJ. Carson of Philadelphia,
one of the fairest and most experienced
observers in the country of the trend of
political sentiment, has been on tour of
observation through West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois. In those
states, and especially Illinois and Indi-
ana, he found the same state of things
which Senator Proctor discovered when he
started last August to hunt for silver senti-
ment in Vermont. The Senator heard a
good deal about it., but it was all in the
"next town." Just so Major Carson heard
much talk of Republicans who were going
to vote for Bryan, but upon investigation,
the stories were found to he without foun-
datioH. 1t was always in the "next coun-
ty" that the detection existed. Upon
reaching that county he would hear that it
was in some other county, and so the sto-
ry ran on until it was found to be will o.
the wisp chase. What finally impressed
Major Carson was the surprise everywhere
expressed that Bryan was going to get any
body's vote.

collateral inheritances. 1t provides that
all property within the jurisdiction of this
state, whether belonging to the inhabitants
of this state or not, which shall pass by
will, or Ly deed or gift made or intended
to take effect after the death of the grantor,
to any person in trust, or other wise, other
than to or for the use of the father, mother,
husband, wife, lineal descendant, adopted
child, the lineal descendant of any adopted
child, the wife or widow of a son, or the
husband of the daughter of a decedent, or
to charitable, educational or religious So
eeties, the property of which is exempt by
law from taxation, shall be subject to a
tax of five per cent of its value for use of
the state. No estate shall be subject to
the provisions of the bill unless the valse
shall exceed $1,000. A similar bill was M-
troduced by Mr.. Martin of Brattleboro four
years ago, and again came before the legis-
latue of 1894, being defeated in each case.
Most of the states have similar law from
which large revenue is derived. New
York even goes so far, it is said, as to tax
all inheritances above a certain value. It
is estimated by good authority here that
the state would derive an annual revenue
of at least S25, 900 und r such law. There
seems quite strong sentiment in favor of
its enactment.
The advocates of municipal suffrage for
women have hitherto considered the lower
branch of the legislature as more distinct

made their initial movements in that body
In sizing up the two houses this year they
have noted the absence from the senate of
the element accustomed to view matters
through judicial eyes, usually predominant
there, and have decided to risk the first
encounter in storming the heights Ac-
cordingly bill has been introduced which
provides that any female citizen u years
of age or more whose list of not less than
two dollars is taken in any town at the an
nual inventory next preceding town
meeting shall, while residing in town, be
voter,in town meetings. Section two Of the
bill extends the same privilege to include
city, village and fire district meetings. A
quiet canvas of the senate has given the
promoters of the bill something of the same
confidence that now pervades the air at
Republican national headquarters.

Last week will always be memorable in
the history of Princeton college, the cor
porate name of which is, or was, the Col
lege of New Jersey. The sesquicentennial
anniversary of the institution was then
celebrated, and the eliminating event was
reached on Thursday when President Pat
ton announced, in the presence of a dis
tinguished and enthusiastic audience, that
the time-honored institution would be
known hereafter as Princeton University,
with a corresponding broadening of its
scope of work. 1t was also announced
that additional endowments amounting to
81 ,S52, POI had been received. President
Patton's address was followed by a strong
and thoughtful address by President Cleve-
land. While Mr.. Cleveland INDUCED in no
direct political illusions, he made it very
clear where he stands with regard to main
tanning the financial integrity of the nation.

The two largest items in the expense ac-
count of Vermont are court expenses and
the care of the pauper insane. In New
Hampshire and many other states these
items are charges upon the several coun-
ties. Making allowance for this fact the
foregoing comparisons would result in a
much better showing for Vermont.
1t has been often said and written that
our state expenses are increasing at very
rapid rate. The following comparison of
the expenses for the fiscal year ending
July l, 1896, with those of the year ending
August l, 1876 may be of interest as show
ing something of the nature and cause of
such increase:

of the work fell to Assessor Foreman.
