Postum has been analysed by many

If "A Southern Romance is not seen

but complimentary notices from the

piece as follows:
'COl. WyCkoff RansOme, a Kentucky

Obituary.

CoBURN.-The last survivor of two gener.
atoms who have been somewhat conspicu-
GUS in the social and business life of Cabot
passed from earth on the 10th instant, in the
decease of Elihu franklin Coburn, at the
age OF eighty-one years and seven months.
Mr.. Coburn was the second son of Elibu
Coburn, who located in Cabot in about
1890, and converted four hundred acres of
primeval forest, traversed by the Winooski
river, into what has ever since been known
and admired as the "Coburn farm" and
regarded as the best in the county. Not
successful in conducting the Farmers
Tavern" which enjoyed an enviable repu-
tation during many years in the early part
of the century. Dying in 1S43, he left seven
children-two sons and five daughters-all
of whom reached mature age and became
central figures in homes of their own. OF the
daughters, one became the wife OF James
Atkins of Cabot another married DR.. Dyar
Bill of Albany; another, Hon. Robert Har-
vey of Barnet; still another first, James X.
Harvey of Barnet, and later DR.. @. M.
Chandler of Montpelier; while the youngest
became the wife of the late Maj or Quinton
Cook of Barre. The brothers-Hiram and
Frank-succeeded to the homestead, and for
nearly half a century played we'll their part
in all the departments OF active life, and
impressed their personality upon large
circle of friends and acquaintances. A rare
and beautiful condition pertained to their
entire business life, that they carried a
common purse, and neither called aught
that he possessed his own as against the
other. All differences in theory or practice
il any ever arose, speedily disappeared un-
der the genial influence OF love like that
of David and Jonathan. The subject Of this
notice was exceptionally genial, tender
hearted and kind; good neighbor, a true
friend, and faithful in all the varied duties
and responsibilities of life as he understood
them. He was twice married.; first to
Amelia Walker OF Sherbrook, G. E., by
whom he had three children: Willie, who
died in childhood Miss Sarah, who sue
ceeds to the paternal home, and Mrs George
w. Perkins of Pueblo, Colorado. The sec
ond wife was Miss Martha Burnham of
Concord, N. H.. who died in 1896. Two
sons were the fruit Of this marriage-Frank
Burnbam and Harry More-young men of
flattering promise, engaged in business in
New York city. The deceased was a great
sufferer during the last few months, and
the angel OF death was welcome visitor
Appropriate funeral services were held in
the old home on Easter Sunday, when
heaven and earth combined to pronounce
benediction upon the sacred scene. Rev.
Mr.. Hartwell was the officiating clergyman
and Hiram Wells, Esq, served as con-
ductor. Choice music was furnished by a
quartette, led by Mr.. Merton Wells. The
interment was in Lower Cabot cemetery,
adjoining the homestead, ON the banks of
the beautiful Wnooski, the music OF whose
murmuring waves had been the matn and
vesper songs of him who loved the very
ground upon which the waters sped to the
sea.

Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher Dead.

The WATcHMAN learns with deep
regret that Lieutenant Governor,
Henry A. Fletcher, died at his home in
Proctorsville on Monday afternoon,
after short illness. Colonel Fletcher
was the son of Ryland Fletcher, a Lieu
tenant Governor OF Vermont and the
States first Republican Governor. he
represented Cavendish at various times
in the Legislature, from 1867 to 1882,
and in 1886, he was Senator from
Windsor county. He was a volunteer
in the War Of the Rebellion, serving
in the sixteenth regiment, under
Colonel Veazey, enlisting as a private
and attaining the rank Of second lieu
tenant. He was chosen Lieutenant
Governor on the ticket with Hon. Car
roll s. Page in 1890, and he had large
and enthusiastic following in the can
vass for the Office Of Governor in the
convention of 1892. Colonel Fletcher
was man of sturdy character, of sound,
saving common-sense, Of high ability
and unflinching integrity. Cajolery or
Hattery could not swerve him from a
stand taken for the right. He was not
an orator, but he had terse way OF
putting things, and the art and power
of sarcasm were not unknown to him.
aud sometimes served him good turn
in his legislative service in puncturing
frauds and exploding bubbles. II
was cold day for any measure Of
doubtful utility or questionable moral
ity when Henry A. Fletcher got after
it. He had always large and devoted
following in the State, and had he beer
politician, or ambitious as Cesar
was" he would have gathered in {
larger array of official titles. In th'
death of Colonel Fletcher Vermont ha
lost son who was brave and sturd.
Yeoman, and one who did the Stat
high honor.

TWO interesting COMMUNICATIONS,
further discussing the collateral inheri-
lance tax law, are unavoidably put over
till next week. -
JAMES l.. MARTIN shows good sense
in declining the Office of Assistant Sec
Rotary of War. Honor is poor equival-
ent for an officer whose salary the cost
of living in Washington wonld exhaust,
and for the professional business that
would be sacrificed. Nevertheless, the
war office lost one chance of securing
very competent man for an assistant
secretary. =
THE purpose of States Attorney
Rowland to test the right of the State
to know what evidence the records
of the United States internal revenue
department contain Of the violation OF
the laws of the State has stirred up that
old.time enemy and opponent OF the
enforcement of law, the democratic or
ganization. Some queer ideas of things
are evolved. A United States license
is spoken of as "a license from the
United States government to engage in
q certain business" whereas it is tax
and carries with it no permit whatever
to engage in any business contrary tc
the laws of State. There is nothing
confidential in the records of 6
public office. Those records are oper
to public examination, and the notion
that public official "violates conf
dence and outrages his oath of office
if he exhibits his records in court un
der oath, is a democratic notion in thu
delirium tremens.

STATES ATTORNEY BROWN of Chit
tenden county has set the machinery
of the law in motion against the vio-
lators of the prohibitory liquor law in
Burlington. Monday was dies irae for
illegal sellers of liquor and landlords
renting property for such illegal sale.
Apparently large part of the Queen
City was subject to legal process. The
WATCHMAN's message to the prosecut-
ing officer is, Enforce the law, not as a
partisan of prohibition or temperance,
or of anti-prohibition or anti-temper-
ance; but as an officer of the law, ac-
cepting the duties and responsibilities
of office, and under oath to perform its
duties and discharge its responsibilities,
fully and faithfully, without fear or
favor, evasion or equivocation. Any
States Attorney that has not the dis
position, courage or conscience, mental
capacity or professional training, that
will impel orr qualify him 80 to do his
plain duty should resign his office. He
hasI no illegal or moral right to lretain
Office an hour. If he hasn't the man.
hood to resign, the power of legal re-
moval should be invoked and enforced.

ANY person who has followed the
course of events in the East for the
past two weeks, will not be surprised 10
hear that war has at length broken out
between Greece and Turkey. Turkey
has formally declared war on the ma

Crete the bloody atrocities that have
depopulated Armenia. 1t matters lit

Christendom to know that Greece has
courageously and resolutely invited at
tack by resisting Turkish barbarism,
and by steadfastly refusing to yield to
the intimidation of the combined pow

the loss of life and all the miseres of
war is primarily not with Greece or
Turkey, but with the six great powers

nunciation. The Turkish army is

THE world has been assured the past
week that " the democracy of Vermont
is not asleep" There was little evil
dence, in the elections of last year, of
the existence of democratic party
asleep or awake-in this State, and
there has been no evidence at all since
the first Tuesday of November. Since
the coming of Spring, however, some
fragments of an alleged democratic
party have thawed out. They pulled
themselves together last week at the
Pavilion, and having warmed up the
cookies of their hearts they became
confident and aggressive in talk.
The war-horse shifted the air of bat
tie affair."" says a veracious reporter, and
sufficient " enthusiasm" was uncorked
around the festive board, and in "the
chaste seclusion of the scribe's head
quarters" to supply the unterrified
throughout the state. True, undoubt-
eddy. Plans of campaign flowed galore
from the teeming brain of Secretary
Jackson, and republicans are assured
with big if that these schemes
contemplate their utter humiliation,
and "1even part of them are carried
through" there will be an end of their
" bloated and iniquitous majority"
