The DinuleX Bill.


We have never examined the r1ovls-
ions Of what is known as the DINGHY
tariff bill, now before Congress, but,
as it was introduced with the GER
tainty that to become a law it must
run the gauntlet Of a revenue tariff
senate and president, it is highly
probable that it makes concessions
which, in the light of the recent cleo
tion, can not be made consistently by
the Republican majority in the house
of either the present or next Congress.
The Republican party should not now
"straddle" ON the tariff question by
giyingits adherence to any compromise
measure which will be satisfactory TO
neither the revenue tariff nor protec-
tiOn sentiment of the country.
Rather than do this, the passage Of a
new tariff law should be delayed until
it can be accomplished by the next
Congress. The country is now ripe
for something aggressive in the way of
tariff legislation and the Republicans
in Congress should govern themselves
accordingly.

into the barn on the Lafountain farm
north of Winooski. AS the carriag

both of the horses were instantly
killed. Fortunately the occupants o
the carriage were uninjured. Thu
horses were valuable animals and be

One of the severest Thunderstorm
seen in many years was experienced
at Colchester Center the same after
noon. A house owned by Mrs
Beardsley and occupied by John
Plunkett was struck by lightning
The house is almost directly across the
street from the Baptist church and as
the exercises there had just closed
there was plenty OF assistance. AS a
result OF these efforts the damage was
confined to the ROOT, which was burned
off, the lower part Of the house suffer

goods were safely removed.

been closing window was stunned a
short time, the bolt passing only a few
feet from where she stood.
The same storm seemed to pass over
Enosburgh Fails and the Free Baptist
church there was struck by lightning.
The bolt first struck the steeple, and,
after wrecking that, separated, part

two windows, one above the other, land
the brick work between them, besides
badly bullying the whole front. The
other part followed the roof to the
rear, when 1t descended the chimney
inside. The laths and plastering
were distributed promiscuously. A
large congregation had been dismissed
but short time before the storm.
Had the church been struck an hour
earlier the consequences would have
been disastrous and, no doubt, fatal
to many. An alarm Of fire was sound
ed and slight blaze at the top Of the
steeple extinguished. The loss will b
