Free Public Libraries.

! The extent to which towns in this State
have taken advantage of the act passed by
the Legislature in 1894 to promote the es-
Establishment of free public libraries Is
shown by a statement just sent to the
selectmen in the various towns by the
State Board of Library Commissioners
of which Principal S. w. Landon of Bur-
| lington is chairman. The commissioners
in this communication announce that over
40 towns representing every county in the
State have taken favorable action on the
matter and made the required appropria-
ton and that nearly all of these
towns have received through the commits
sioners the books provided by the State.
The act in relation to free public libraries
provides that the board of commissioners
shall eXpend upon the application of the
board of library trustees Of any town hav-
ing no public library owned and controlled
by the town a sum not exceeding 800 for
books to establish a free public library.
The town must however, annually appro-
pirate for the maintenance Of such library
a sum not less than $50, If its grand list is
$1,000 or upward, or not less than S25 If
its grand list is less than $4,000 and not
below $500, or not less than SIS II its grand
list is less than $500; and it must comply
with the law as to- trustees and provisions
for the care of a library.
1t can be seen, therefore, that there
is no excuse for any town in Vermont re-
naming without free public library and
the commissioners have issued the circular
mentioned for the especial purpose of
calling attention to the desrability of
towns taking advantage of the act in
question. Attention has been called to the
fact that articles should be inserted in
the warning for the coming town meeting,
first, to see If the town will elect a board
of library trustees and instruct such board
to make application to the State board of
library commissioners under act 81; and
second, to see what sum, If any, the town
will appropriate for the maintenance of a
free public library.
During the past year the commissioners
have devoted large amount of energy
and attention to the work of selecting
books and their labors have been increas-
ed by the fact that instead of making
duplicate lists they consulted the needs
and conditions of each town as we'll as the
wishes of the tff6ssrsA. This not only
more than doubled the work OF the COM
missioners, but 1t resulted in assigning to
towns different numbers of books, the
number varying from 30 to 143. Towns
that profit by the provisions of this act
therefore have the benefit of the commits
sioners' thorough knowledge of books and
they are practically certain to secure as
the nucleus of their libraries works that
Will not only be interesting but of value
and profit as well. Every town in Vermont
which has no free public library should
take steps in this direction at the coming
March meeting and should formulate its
warning for such meeting accordingly.

VERMONT AT ST. LOUIS.

In 1855 Vermont by unanimous consen.
placed at the head of her delegation to the
national republican convention at Chica-
go Senator Redfeld Proctor, and history
records that she made no mistake. Ver-
mont has always welded a powerful in
fiuence in political national conventions,
because she has been wise and sent her
strongest men to represent her. This year
New England Is going to name the man
who WILL we trust, be the next president
of the United States, and that man Is Hon.
Thomas b. Reed of Maine Vermont Will
be on hand with a solid delegation for the
matchless pariamentarian from the Pine
Tree State. and just now the interesting
question being asked on all sides whom
shall we send? The people of Vermont
have been heard from and with unpre-
cedented unanimity have named Redheld
Proctor for chairman of the delegation.
Senator Proctor was educated at the old
Derby academy and the people of orleans
county have always felt a pride in him
and will gladly second his nomination.
The present outlook Is that Vermonts dis
tinguished junior senator will be rendered
the nomination. and we hope he viii feel
1t a duty to again serve his State in this
capacity by accepting.
For second delegate at large from the
west side, Col f.. c. Smith of St. Adams,
the accomplished and successful president
of the Vermont Central railroad, seems to
be the coming man. Col. Smith is u son
of the late lamented John Gregory Smith,
the old war governor OF Vermont a sue
cessful, brilliant lawyer and business man
and a most worthy representative of the
young men of Vermont, and has brilliant
future bef@e him. Vermont will do
wise thing to send him to St. Louis.
For delegates at large from the east
side Hon. Charles A. Prouty of Newport
and DR.. II. d. Holton of Brattleboro are
most prominently named.-Newport EN-

The NIayOrship.

AS will be seen by the call published in
another column the republican city eau
Gus is to be held at the City Hall next Sat-
urday evening. For some time now the
name of only one man has been suggested
in connection with the republican nomina-
tlon for mayor, that of Hon. Hamilton S.
Peck. The degree of favor with which his
candidacy has already met points to a
sweeping victory at the polls, provided the
republicans place his name at the head of
their ticket, and he will undoubtedly be
the unanimous choice of the caucus.
Judge Peck has had broad experience in
municipal affairs, and this fact of course
serves to commend him to the people of
Burlington. As a member of the Board
of Aldermen and as judge of the City
Court for a number of years he discharged
his duties faithfully and to the general
satisfaction of his constituents. He has
been prominently identified with many of
the city's public projects he is a public
spirited citizen, a good business man and
a well qualified lawyer and that he would
make AN efficient and satisfactory mayor
goes without saying.
Not a few prominent democrats have
signihed their intention of voting for
Judge Peck for mayor and 1t Is not i'm
probable that our democratic friends will
decide to make no nomination. in case he
is named for mayor by the republicans as
at present indicated. Judge Peck stands
pledged to economy in municipal expendi-
lures, as well as to the promotion of the
city'S best interests in every possible and
legitimate way.
There are objects the accomplishment of
which all good citizens desire, and it is to
be hoped that republicans will make their
influence felt at the very opening of the
campaign by making the caucus rouslng
one.

ators have not sought to dodge the issue
80 far, however, and the chances are
that they will be found loyal to their con
victions to the end.
| While the free silver republicans in the
Senate have evidently determined to go on
the safe side in refralning from the at
tempt to fasten free coinage legislation on
| the tariff bill, II should not be assumed
that they are disposed to compromise
themselves on this issue. On the contrary
they have just taken step calculated to
disrupt the republican party unless that
organization accepts the terms laid down
by them. Senators Teller and Wolcott of
Colorado, Warren and Clark of Wyoming,
Carter and Mantle of Montana, Shoup and
Dubois Of Idaho, Cannon and Brown of
Utah, Pritchard of North Carolina, Mitch
ell of oregon, Pettigrew of South Dakota,
Hansbrough of North Dakota, Perkins of
California and Cameron of Pennsylvania
have Joined in issuing pronunciamento
to the republican party in general, and
especially to manufacturers, through
Wharton Barker's Philadelphia American
to the effect that no protective tariff bill
can be passed until the protectionists of
the East shall consent to have silver
coupled with protection. 1t is plainly
stated that the ignoring of this platform
Will mean the disruption OF the republican
party.
This attempt OF the tail to wag the dog
Will undoubtedly meet with deserved re-
Duke. Tho republican party has stood for
sound principles of finance from the begin
ming of It's existence 1t was the nations
bulwark against the greenback craze, and
we predict that 1t will be found now as
ever battling for the right. The republic
can party has never pandered to the ex-
IRENE mugwdmp vote which left it in
1884, and If a few extreme silver men find
themselves unable to abide by the will Of
the majority inside OF the party organiza-
ton, the place for them is on the outside
These men do not necessarily speak for
large constituencies, as Is shown by the
position of Cameron of Pennsylvania and
Perkins of California, but even If a refusal
to surrender to a small minority means
defeat. 1t will be far better for the repub-
lican party to meet defeat while standing
for the right than to win victory by means
of an ignominious surrender of principe.

The Majority Must Rule.

There are less silver republicans than
silver democrats in the United States
Senate, but the attitude of the former
commands more attention now on account
of the fact that the republican party is in
control of the House. 1t Is an encourage
ing as well as significant fact though
that the financiers of the country as shown
by their subscriptions to the public loan
do not expect the republican party which
will by general consent win in the COM
Ing national campaign, to be dominated by
the silver element, in spite of the promn-
ence which that contingent enjoys at the
present time. There are also indications
that even the republican senators who IA
vor free silver are beginning to realize
that they may 80 too far A despatch
from Washington says there is reason to
believe that the silver republicans in the
Senate will almost unanimously vote to
kill the free silver substitute for the
revenue bill. under the belief that the
measure is not in the interest of silver,
but In reality disadvantageous to the
cause of the white metal.
In the present emergency the attitude
Of the administration senators Is especial
ly noteworthy. These senators. who have
posed as vigorous opponents Of free coin
age. are credited with the intention to
vote to fasten free coinage upon the tariff
bill for the purpose Of killing that measure.
II by hook or crook. however. the bill
should pass, our democratic friends would
not hesitate to attempt to fasten the re-
sponsibility for the measure upon the re-
ppblicans. Republican sound money sen
