The figures of imports and eyportsfoi
March show the best trade balance We
have ever hadifor that month. 1t was

it was s., 1873, GIG the other way. The

emphatic answer from these figures
1t is true that mills have been shutting
down to an extraordinary extent in the

show an increase OF SO, 600, 900 over

follow short crop in the exportable

phcnomenally low prices in them. The
difference must be very largely repre-
sented by exports Of manufactured

! Pope Leo NH has offered to act az
mediator between Spain and the Cubar
rGvolutionists. But there is little
chance of his kindly services being ac.
| ccpted on either side. Spain in her
sullen pride will refuse any medi
alton and the Cubans, good Catholics
as they are almost universally. would
naturally fear to trust their cause TO
him as arbitrator, because fair and
broad-lninded as he is to a remarkable
degree and sympathetic or at least
Just as he has shown himself toward
Republican institutions in his dealings
with France. there is tendency to bias
in the fact that in nearly all the Cen
trail and South American republics the
winning of independence has been fol.
lowed 10y a great reduction uf the
church privileges and power that a:
companled Spanish rule. In MANY of
them indeed there has been q comrlctc
separation of church and state, aud IN
all 1t is coming because il is the
chief issue of their politics. 1t may
be and in fact is some reason for belipv-
ing that Leo is capable of recognizing
that IN the long run such Il separation Is
Tor the best interest of the church |

historic view and policy of the
church that the Catholics will natur- |
ally fear to trust theif cause. which !

There is said to be some prospect OF
the passage of the Iorrey bankruptcy
bill, now before Congress on a favora'
bic report, inspitc of Reeds policy OF
inaction. The chief reason for it's de
feat at previous sessions has been the
claim that it involved the principle OF
Imprisonment for debt in the provision
that bv Il mere affidavit on knowledge
aud belief of fraud, debtor might be
arrested and compelled to give bond
for his appearance or else be impris-
oned in default.

More extraordinary experiments with
the Roentgen rays are announced from
Chicago where Prof. Fl. b. Pratt ano
Hugo Wightmen have been trying
them as a means of killing disease
germs. They announce that the rays
have been proved to be absolutely ia.
raj to diphthcria and typhoid bacilli,
and probably SO to those of cholera
and tuberculosis. though the expert
ments with these have not been quite
So conclusive, owing, as they believe,
TO defects in method. This wonderful
discovery will be tried upon living
creatures. 4 guinea pig has been
inoccuIated with the germs of tuber-
culosis. 1t was served with dose
which would put ii into grave in
four weeks. The consumption germs
will be allowed to progress half this
time and the disease will be encour-
aged to become Of the most malignant
form. The guinea pig will then be
placed under the strange and mystic
rious influence of the \ rays, and
the scientists have no doubt that it
will come out within two weeks a
found and fat guinea pig.

The st. Adams Messenger well turns
the argument of the Montpelier Watch
man against Mai. Grout for packing
the railroad committee of the 1856
legislature against any efficient rail
road law, not Only upon the party but
upon the Watchman's own can
didates. Not only has the party
with its overwhelming majority in the
Legislature not done a 81 thing to
strengthen and invigorate the law
but in the very next Legislature. after
the gross wrong which the Waterman
charges him with doing, it gave Maj.
circuit unanimous reelection. Then
Mr.. Stickney was the speaker in 1892
ami 1891 and had the appointment of
the railroad committee in his own
hands, and the result is practically
nothing towards redrcssing the alleged
wrong Of 'SG. The Watchman is right
in denouncing the commission law as
4 humbug, practical fraud, but it is
not doing its candidate or its party
the service it expected in in focusing
Public attention on the fact.

TO TIE TEACHERS OF THE
COUNTY.

Having gotten no definite sug-
gestion from any one in response to
my notice about the organization of
a County Teachers Association aud
not wishing 10 let it fall through
without an effort, have decided to
make Il call for q meeting of all the
teachers interested IN the advance
ment of the cause of education il
this county at the court house on
the first Saturday in November at
u o'clock. I have been informed
that there are at least thirtyfve or
forty teachers i'll this county and
certainly each one wishes to be help
ed by The contact and new ideas Of
those whose experience entities them
to hearing. When I speak of teach
ers, it is not my desire to be exclu-
slve at all, OF course, all who wish
may come and any who will may
take part.
After we are organized doubtless
the Editor Of The Times will give US
a column IL his paper TO be con-
Quoted as we may see fit. This can
not be accomplished without the
cooperation OF the teachers as a
body and I would ask al who see
this, please to let US know Of their
approval or disapproval by writing
a short note to the Times and also
to advertise it as fully as possible in
their communities.
