The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1896-06-19

Perhaps the silliest of all the com.
ments on the movement against Gen.
Grout was that of Harris Weekly of
st. Johnsbury. The Weekly says:
1t was dishonorably and dishonesty
done, and is simply cowardly robbery.
If these men had desired to be fair,
why did they not proclaim their inten-
tions at the proper time, and give
Gen. Grout fair notice of their pro
posed contest? The voters OF the
district will not tolerate such political
measures for moment, | have right
to believe, and every friend of polit
ical fairness, honor and decency inIthe
district is called upon to earnestly
and forcibly rebuke such conduct.
Instead of giving himhto under
stand" anythingsof he.:.kind, at least
one of them immediately Iwrote tosstbe
General after dstermining:to go into
the field-somethinglhe was not under
the STANDARDIZATION, legally, moral.
ly orlin any other way, to do. Gen.
Grout does not holdla warranty...deed
in perpetuity on his Office, and the
Second District is not private game
preserve of his, strange as the fact
may seem tossome of the scripblers.

Cleveland speaks.

President Cleveland gave out an
authorized interview to the New York
Herald Wednesday in which he sub
stantially stated that he would not be
a candi late for third term-as M
reasonable man ever supposed he won Id
and made strong appeal to his par
Tyson the r,opey question. He said:
Il have, made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates are adv
chosen or to be chosen TO the Dem
ocratic national convention, but refuse
TO believe that when the time arrives
for deliberate action there will be en-
grated upon our Democratic creed a
demand for the free. unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver. | cannot
believe this, because | know the Dem
ocratic party is neither unpatriotIc nor
foolish. and because ii seems SO clear
to ms that such Il course will inflict
a very great injury upon every interest
of our country which it has been the
mission of democracy to advance and
will result in lasting disaster To our
party organization.
There rs little hope that as means
Of success his free silver proposition,
after its thorough discussion during
a political campaign, will attract a
majority of the voters of the country.
1t must be that many of the illusions
influencing those now relying(upon this
alleged panacea fer their ills will be
dspelled before the time comes for
them to cast their ballots, which will
express their sober second thought
The adoption by the democracy Of this
proposition would, | believe, give to
our opponents an advantage both in
the present and future which they do
not deserve.
My ttachment to true democracy
is SO strong that | consider its sue
cess as identical with the promotion
of the country's good. This ought
sufficiently To account for my anxiety
that no mistake be made at our party
convention. 10 my opinion no effort
should be spared To secure such action
Of the delegates as will avert party de
moralization. 1t is place for consul,
tation and comparison of views and
those Democrats who believe in the
cause of sound money should there
be heard and be constantly IN ey
idence. \ cause worth fighting for is
worth fighting for to the end. If
sound money Democrats suppose there
is danger of mistake being made
such danger should stimulate their
activity III averting it instead Of ere
ating encouragement
II am very far from arrogat'ne to
myself controlling influence upon the
policy of my party; but as. an un-
finching Democrat who has been hon
ored by his party and who desires
hereafter no greater political privilege
than TO occupy the place of private
in its ranks, hope | may not be
blamed for saving thus much at this
time in the interest. as it seems to me,
of the grand old organization so rich
in honorable tradition, so justly proud
of its achievements and always SO un
daunted and brave in its battles for
the peoples welfare
The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1896-06-19

TIE New York supreme court h as
just rendered decision that ought to
b e effective against the infinite mis-
go venment of the great cities of the
state by placing them upon the only
true basis, that of Home Rule, where
their own people, the ones most in
terested, can accomplish good govern
ment if they choose, and if they don t
will know that the evils they suffer
are what they have brought upon
themselves. The court holds that the
law which divides the control of the
police commission at Albany equally
between two political parties is uncon
stitutional because IL is inconsistcnt
with the right of the majority to gov
ern." When equal power is conferred
upon the minority by giving its mem
bers equal represep tation on the com
mission there is "a violation of the
fundamental laws of Republican gov
eminent. The minority may have
represen tation, but not equal to that of
the majority. From this point the
decision, which is one of the soundest
INCUR recent Jurisprudence, goes on to
deny the right of the Legislature to in
terfere in the local government. The
principle of local government, it
declares, lis regarded as fundamental
in American political institutions. The
citizens of the different political d-
Wis ions of the state have the right to
determine upon their own public con
Germs and select their own local officials
without being controlled by the gen
eral,public or the state at large. For
this purpose municipal corporations
are established and are invested with
rights and powers of government sub
ordinate to the general authority OF
the state but exclusive within their
sphere Such doctrine as this ap-
piled 40 years ago to New York city
for instance, would have saved her
from vast spoilation. Legislative med
ding with city governments has really
at bottom been due to desire for pc.
litcal plumber that the people would
not grant to one organization or an
ther. The professed principle of it has
been that the people of large cities
would not be trusted to govern them
selves and therefore that some one else
ought to govern them, and never since
the world began has this principle
failed in the long run to bring evil re-
suits.

Mckinley and Doodle.

1t is a very interesting argument
that son of Vermont, q. II, Jones
OF Lake Park, Mimi, makes on the
sub ject of Mckinley and doodle in an
other column. What he says OF Nc
Kinley as a man will generally be
agreed to by fair-minded observers.
For the rest the argument is that
Doodle couldn't have been used in Nc
Kinley IS behalf because, as the event
has shown, his strength with the ke'
publican masses was such that 1t
wasn't necessary. But there is album
dant Republican testimony to the fact
that the Doodle was used in great vol
m 6 and went to swell the Mckinley
tide, and under the operation OF the
la ws of human nature it was natural
that it should he 80. Gov Mckinley
was dist nctively the representative OF
the idea that legislation should be dl-
rected to making men rich by the ex-
ercise of taxing power, and it is IN
evitable under that idea that men
made rich or who want to be made rich
by that means, should pour out money
The May trade statement tells the
s anne story as that for several months
previous-d decreasing imports and in
increasing exports. constantly strength
ening the trade balance in our ia vor,
D aging So much of our debt to Europe
and bringing finance nearer to a
healthy basis. The imports, 500, 1863, 800,
we're less than in any other May, except
one, for seven years, and the exports
S66, 525, 1863, we're larger than ever be-
fore except in May '92 and '8, while
he trade balance was not only in our
favor where in the usual course OF
rade it is against US in May, but it
was the largest May balance we ever
had, 50, 561, $50. As contrast in May
81 under the Mckinley bill the bal
nee was Sl3, 932, 900 the other way.
The difference between the two
months under the two laws is S23,
493, $50, or at the rate of over $3.50.
600, 900 year, ono which cannot fail
to ultimately turn the tide of prosper
thy. OF course the difference cannot
fairly be claimed to be due to the
change in the tariff, because the hard
times and general necessity Of econ
omy is so large factor in cutting off
i IMPORTS and the low scale of prices in
EXPORTS but it does at
least effectually answer the ignorant
p arroting of which we have heard so
much, that the trouble with business
i s the flood of foreign goods"
brought in under a lowered tariff to
with our own manufacturers.
When hat "tiood'' is less than ever
be fore, no matter what the reason for
t may be. it doesn't require much
power to understand that it
isn't what is doing the harm.

Another reminder of the superlativ

Another reminder of the superlative
beauties of Vermont prohibition was
afforded last week by the arrest of
Theod. Chadwick, the town liquor
agent of B ethel. for selling without a
government Ii cense. He was he'd after
a hearing before Commissioners Geo.
+. johnson of Burlington under $500
bonds for the October circuit court.
The same case has been before the
