Cosgrovs and Grants comedians, who
will soon be seen at the Third Avenue
tkeater, following the MINISTRIES. In their
new version OF THE Dazzler," are ac-
cording TO all accounts, making the most
pronounced hit this year that the piece
has known in its long history. Every

this season the piece has been entirely

new story. plot and incident. 1t is de-

the cleverest that Cosgrove and Grant

The Republican members of the
Ways aad Means Committee began
their work of framing the tariff bill
Jan. 13, when they held a meeting,
the first Of a long series which will
continue until the bill has been fin
ished. Chairman Dingley says that
there will be no SUBJ commit tee ap-
pointed, and that each schedule will
be discussed by all the members.
They by no means will rely upon the
results of the hearings for their in
formation, but will get facts relating
to manufacturing and imports from
less interested persons than those
who appeared in the recent hearings.
Experts will be called, to confer with
the Republicans, and will be asked to
investigate various matters for them.

THE MESSENGER DLSAGREES
WITH THE MONITOR.

Our highly esteemed contemporary,
The ST. Albans Messenger, takes issue
with the MONITOR in the matter of
representation in the Vermont legis-
lature. The Messenger is SO oourte-
Gus and handles it's pen SO gracefully
that it seems almost wrong to disa-
gree with it. It may however be
wrong, if not wrong it may occasion
ally favor thing which is impracti-
cal. In either event it will not be out
of the way to oppose it. Some time
since the MONITOR in very short
article made few points on
the subject which may be stated in
still shorter terms:
"Several State Journals are striving
to show that Vermont is suffering
from unequal representation in the
lower house Of the legislature.
Their efforts would be of no more
avail if it were possible to change
matters in this line in their genera
ton.
Looked at from some standpoints
those who agitate the project are
right.
Try any other method and it will
be beset with difficulties as great as
now exist.
While the large town have small
er representation per capita, they
make up in influence what they lack
in numbers.
The hue and cry for change arises
largely from cranky heads which are
trying to give themselves some noto-
riety.
Vermont has prospered tolerable
we'll for more than hundred years
uuder the present system and can
probably stand it a while longer un-
der the same regime"
The Messenger traverses our state
ments in several lines which we will
give with a brief answer:
Because it will difficult, impossible,
generation is no answer to protest
against an evil.o That proposition
is correct and we do not inveigh
against it. But we do say that neith
er the Messenger or any other paper
has shown by any proof Or demon
stration that any evil, greater than
would exist under other systems,
does now exist. We challenge the
Messenger to show that this state is
now suffering, or has suffered evils in
legislation which have resulted from
the fact that there is or has been an
unequal representation.
'sThe foundation of a republican
form of government is equality of
presentation. No system can be
devised which can make representa-
ton exactly equal, no one questions
the possibility of devising one where
by some approach to equality can be
secured. There is no Justification for
the continuance of system which
makes twelve voters the equal of
twelve hundred
The above statement has the gist of
all that can be said against the present
system and embraces the points in
which we acknowledge that the Mes
senger is right. And yet there is much
in this world which is theoretically
right, which carried out would
not materially benefit mank ind
or, if wrong, does not enhance suf-
fering above that of some other sys-
tenn. No form of democratic rule is

It is said that Col. Childs of the ST
Adams Messenger has given up his
desire for the Colletorship, and will
accept in lieu thereof the st. Adams
post office. Colonel Childs has done,
both as editor of the Messenger and in
personal way, great work for the
.rspublican party, and he is certainly
entitled to the ST. Adams post office,
a position which he is we'll capable of
filing. The fact that Olin Merrill is
chairman of the board of railroad
commissioners is an indication that
he is out of the race. This leaves the
contest simply between Gov Mansur
and Col. Benedict. Col. Benedict has
held the office before, and has also
held various other public offices, and
it would seem that now he should be
willing somebody else should have
the Collectorship. AS between these
two it looks now as if Mr.. Mansur
would be the coming man.-Nea0s and

The prospects Of Eastern capitalists
realizing for the present on most Of
their Western investments, made
during the 'sgood time" period, is not
very fattering just now. When it
comes to raising more taxes, how

towns, built by Eastern money, there
seems to be a well defined policy to
mark up the value of the real estate

"Our highest export of domestic
merchandise reached 1888 per capi-
ia of population in 1892, under Nc
Kinley protection" says the Econona-
ist. ssOur lowest were S11. .37 per cap
ita in 1895, when the free trade policy
of the democratic party had thrown
the markets of the world open to us.
There was slight Improvement for
1896, but with the wall of protection
still broken down we have not been
able to capture other markets to any
thing like the same extend as we did
from 1890 to 1894. Under the McKin-
ley bill the per capita of duties col
lected from the American people fell
to $3.50 in 1896, the lowest amount
ever collected since 1862. But the
mere touch of free trade has increas
ed the duties collected each year, up
