We make with the beginning of new
year a slight alteration in the price of
the REGISTER, in allowing ten per cent
discount when paid in advance.
We shall endeavor to make the paper
more and more acceptable to its many
readers of both sexes and all ages.
The serial book on the Horse, already
begun, will be continued on the page
devoted to agricultural interests. 1t
will, we believe, when finished be the
most complete work that has ever yet been
published on the subject, certainly in
the English language, and its cost alone
when in book form will be several times
the price of the paper for year.
Another serial, entitled "Vermont IL
lustrated," also copyrighted, will appear
in the paper, and begin as soon as we
can complete the material for its illustra-
ton.
The REGISTER during the summer sea-
son will also give especial attention to
the interest of summer travel, one of the
mOS6 Important anu lhl0l0sUhS VI Jul
business interests. Information received
from the various summer resorts will be
carefully edited and published, including
names of visitors when furnished.
In order to extend the circulation
throughout the State we make the fol-
lowing offer: Clubs of % new subscrib-
ers will be furnished the REGISTER for
one year for $25, and, in addition,
we will give to each former of club
one copy of the Morgan Register, So
book.
In every town in the State where we
have % subscribers we will obtain a
special correspondent to furnish local
news.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1896-12-25

Some of our contemporaries are in
trouble again at our Vermont system of
government. The Burlington Daily
News, the st. Albans Messenger, and, as
the last states, the Montpelier Watchman,
and st. Johnsbury Republican, want a
new system for the election of our State
house of representatives, so that it
shall be based upon population, instead
of, as now, consisting of member from
every town.
The system we have Is similar to that
under which the United States senate is
chosen, each State, whether large or
small, having two members in that body ;
and if the history and results
of legislation in this State are ex-
amined it will be seen it is as chuck
full of wisdom as a nut is of meat.
Probably no better system, if as good,
for good government, has ever been
devised on earth. 1t makes a house of
such size and character that it is almost
impossible to throw it off from its base
by purchase or cajOlery.
Such house forms a combination of
independent col stituencies, each in the
nature of separate republic, in which
every one is equally concerned for the
welfare of the whole, and has equal
power to protect that welfare.
Probably no State in the Union has
been better governed than Vermont from
the beginning of its history to the present
time, and but few so well, and this is
unquestionably largely due to this feat
ture of her governments We see the State
practically out of debt, and her people
as prosperous as the times will permit;
more prosperous always than those in
most other parts of the country.
No bad scandal has ever been connect
ed with her legislature. No attempt, we
believe, has been made to purchase a seat
in the United States senate, but always
Vermont has been most creditably rep
resented, including in her members one
or more of the ablest men in the senate.
All this cannot be said of many, if al y,
of the States where representation based
on population exists. All the evils usually
connected with such a system, of class
legislation, and of every kind of rob-
berry, continually threaten and frequent
ly triumph. The proof of the pudding
is in the eating. And Vermont may
well be thankful for a system of govern
ment which has produced such excel
lent results.

RECENT DEATHS.

FAlbert ID. Austin, who had been in
failing health for more than year, died
at his home on Case street Saturday
night. He would have been 40 years of
age on the 23d of next month The fu-
neral was very largely attended from
the house at 2 o'clock on Tuesday. Rev.
j. G.. GoOding, pastor of the Methodist
church, conducted the service. The in
terment was in the FoOte street ceme-
terry. An aged father, wife and one
daughter survive. Mr.. Austin was, till
the disease which finally proved fatal
fastened itself upon him,an exceptionally
vigorous and noticeaoly stalwart man.
He was upright, straightforward and
kindly in all his relations With his fell
lows. and deserved and had many warm
friends. An autopsy held Sunday after
noon by Drs. Eddy and Martin showed
that his long and distressing illness was
due to an Internal cancer involving the
pancreas and other organs.
Charles Prescott kimball, son of the
late George A. Kimball of Orwell and a
member of the junior class of the col
lege, died on Tuesday at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Arthur II. Bristol, on Court
street, aged % years. He had been ill
only about week with the grip, COM
plicated by a brain affection, although
his health had not been good for several
years. The funeral was at the house at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Rev. A.
w. Dickens officiating. The remains
will be taken to Orwell on the morning
train today for interment. Mr.. Kimball
and his two sisters came to Middlebury
from Orwell number of years ago in
order that they might have better educa-
tional facilities than that town afforded.
He fitted tor college at the high school
and continued his studies at the college.
He was an unusually thoughtful, sensi-
Bile, capable and courteous young man,
an excellent student and in every way
fitted to do a useful work in the world.
Hon. Roswell G. Horr, one of the best
known campaign speakers in the coun-
try, died in Plainfield, n. j., on Friday.
He was Vermonter, native of Waits
field, Washington county.

The following excellent editorial is
from the last number of the Outlook,
edited by Rev. Lyman Abbott, the sue
cessor of Henry Ward Beecher as pastor
of Plymouth church, Brooklyn:
Senator Wocott of Colorado has in
troduced into the republican senate eau
Gus the following resolution, which was
adopted without objection:
"Resolred, That special committee of five
members of this caucus be appointed to
recommend some plan whereby legislation
may be mad at this session of congress look
ing to an international conference with lead
ing commercial nations of the world for the
promotion OF bimetallism."t
This indicates that the republican
party intends to stand by its platform.
"PlatfOrms," says the New York Even
ing Post, "atter the election are about
the most rubbshy stuff that can be con-
ceived of. Nobody Expects that they
will be regarded after the votes are
counted, unless they have been part of
the issue on which the battle was fought"
This seems to us a grossly immoral pos
ition. a platform is a pledge made by a
party to the public. The public elects
the party in order to have this pledge
carried into execution. 10 dismiss the
pledge as "rubbishy stuff as soon as the
party comes into power seems to us an
act of the grossest dishonOr. and fatal to
confidence in popular elections. How
can the people have their will carried out
in national affairs if the party winch has
triumphed at the polls is to be free
to disregard its promises to the
people? In the late election three parties
asked for the sullrages of the American
people. One promised free silver coin
age; one promised gold mOnometallism
one promised to do all in its power to
secure international bimetallism. The
votes of the American people were prac-
tically divided between the first and the
the third parties; the second had scarce
ly votes enough to count. 1t can hardly
be doubtful that if the issue had been
sharply drawn between gold monOmetal-
lsm and free silver coinage the latter
would have carried the election by a
decisive popular majority, The election
of Mr.. Mckinley clearly means popular
vote in favor of bimetalism by interna-
tional action. The republican party has
pledged itself to promote an internation-
al agreement for bimetallism. The first
duty of the republican party is to en-
deavOr to secure such an international
agreement. Nor is it by any means clear,
on the one hand, that 1t is impracticable
to secure the cooperation of France and
Germany, nor, on the other, that it is
necessary to wait for the cooperation OF
| England.

CUBA.

A crisis in the affairs of this magnifi-
cent island has come, probably the
greatest in its history.
That there is but one proper place for
the island to occupy every American can
recognize, and that is as an integral
part of the Great Republic.
That the proper time has come FOR
its acquisition by US would seem
most evident to every intelligent OBJ
server. Whatever test the que stion of
annexation is tried blythe best interests
of Cuba or of the world so far as these
are affected by the condition of Cuba
the same decision must be reached. And
certainly no true American can doubt of
the great desrabiliry and almost practi-
country. Once annexed and we would
as soon have Florida, Mississippi, Texas
or California separated as this island, the
gem of the Antilles.
There can be no doubt that the patriots
of Cuba who are now fighting for her
liberty Twill be fully willing to have the
war result in annexation of the island
to the United States. Passed through
the fiery trials of war they will them
selves make an excellent population /;
but joined to the Great Republic. Cuba
would be rapidly Americanized until
she was everywhere recognized as one
of the choicest of our States.
In this connection we are pleased
to see that Senator Proctor, one of
the ablest legislators at the nation
al capitol, is sound on the Cuban
question. He is for immediate recog-
milton of their belligerent rights.
This done the final annexation of Cuba,
with any proper management, and with
out the slightest necessity of any war
between Spain and the United States,
would naturally and rapidly follow.
But one impediment stands now in the
way of the result, the extraordinary lack
of what may properly be called Ameri-
canism in President Cleveland. Fortu-
nately his term will end in about two
months.
The feeling of the American people in
the matter is not one that can be much
longer triled with. They recognize that
belligerent rights should at once be
granted to this struggling people; and
they recognize that every principle of
Justice and of humanity requires that
panish dominion, or any connection OF

Spain In the administration of this island,
should cease.
Is is quite possible that the best way to
solve the question is for the United
States to purchase Cuba. Should this
prove so, in the Judgment of our con-
gress and executive, the American peo
pie will most willingly sustain the gov
ernment in issuing the necessary bonds.
