The farmers, who usually COM
pose the majority of the legislature
at Montpelier, show a rare persist
ence in playing into the hands of
other interests than their own; it is
an exceptional case when they are
not disorganized and disunited when
it comes to a vote on measure in
which they are particularly con-
ccrned. AS the Landmark says:
If legislation adverse to farmers is
enacted at Montpelier, who is re-
sponsible for it except the farmers
themselves: a majority of the
House is, as rule, composed of
farmers They can vote down any
bill inimical to their business, if
they act together. Other classes
will unite to secure favorable legis-
lation or to defeat what they con-
slider prejudicial to their calling, but
in the Vermont Legislature Il union
of farmers for or against proposed
measure is rare. Why this is so we
cannot explain. In this age unless
men of the same occupation stand
together to protect or advance their
interests they will not succeed.

Nermont's love tragedy is entitled
to rank among the MOST remarkable
of the season thus far. The odd
thing about it is that the man was
apparently the innocent person IN the
case. The grcen-cved monster seems
to find congenial victims in the Green
Mountain state Boston Herald.

Speciai to The State.
Kipgstree, Aug. 6.-The mangled
remains Of two mulat,o men were
found upon the track of the North
eastern railroad about three miles
above here this morning From let
ters and papers found upon their per-
son their names were Willie Gibbes of
Hartsville, S. c., and Tom Trimble of
Staunton, Va. They seem to have
been travelling together. They were
we'll dressed and had no appearance OF
being beggars or tramps
The body of Tom Trimb'e was
literally torn to pieces and different
parts of the body were picked up for
miles along the track. One arm was
so entwined around some part Of the
engine Oh No % that it was carried
to Charleston, distance of 81 miles,
before it was discovered by the engl'
neer in charge.
Willie Gibbes seems to have got
only one lick on the DacK OF hls heau
He was lying on his face with his
head turned towards Florence This
would indicate that he had been
struck by tram going north. Some
few seem to think they may have
been murdered and put ON the track
to conceal it, but the general opinion
is that they had gone to sleep on the
track aud woke up in another world
and from all the surrounding clrcnm
stances the jury of inquest will, 10
doubt, find verdict in accordance
with these facts.
Later-The coroner's 5 jury held ar
Inquest and found that these mef
came to their death "by their owl
carelessness in going to sleep on the
| railroad track.
