Interest on Savings Bank Deposits.

Several Vermont financial insti-
tutions have announced reduction
iu the rate of interest on deposits
and others are expected to follow
the example at no distant day.
The Springfield Republican be-
lievcs that the failure of the legisla-
turc to reduce the rate of taxation
on savings bank deposits has helped
along the project for reduction in
the rate of interest on savings bank
deposits. 1t compares the Vermont
rate of taxation of seven-tenths of
one per cent on every dollar of saw
ings bank deposits and surplus with
the Massachusetts rate of one-half
OF one per cent, with exemption of
money loaned on real estate mort
gage in the state, with two fiiths OF
one per cent in Rhode Island, net
rate of about one-fitth of one per
cent in Connecticut, and no tax at
all in New York.
The Burlington Free Press says:
"This move is not to be interpret
cd as evidence of weakened con-
dition on the part of the savings
banks; for it is just the opposite.
They have too much money already
in proportion to their demands, and
a reduction in the rate ct interest
allowed on deposits will serve to
still further strengthen them"

Horse Hung Upon a Fence.

A Bratteboro horse took fright
the other day. He made two or
three fly ing leaps and in endeavoring
to clear the new wire fence which
surrounds the Brooks House "park,"
got tangled up in the harness in
some way and was left with his fore
legs inside the fence and his hind
legs outside. When tie animal was
separated from the harness and
sleigh it was found that he was bal
ancing upon his stomach across the
fence, and all efforts to move him
seemed unsuccessful. Several peo-
pie venturcd the opinion that the
proper thing to do WAS to cut down
the fence, and others said that q der
rick would have to be brought into
use, but finally several men took
hold Of the horses front legs and
pushed him over backwards on to
the ground. The horse did not APP
pear to be seriously injured.

Sanctums for MilIionaires.

The governors millionaire-sanc-
tuary bill failed of passage, ind the
poor millionaircs have no place to
lay their heads where they may be
secure from the sight of unsympa-
thetic tax-gatherers. But when night
is darkest, dawn is nearest; a new
Nirvana is opening to those poor,
bcnlghted heathcns of finance. Yer
mont has several unorganized towns
and cores. Why not have these
utilized as sanctuaries for those
overburdened with pelf' They could
revcl in exemption. The only tax
they would be called upon to pay
would be the state tax OF 20 cents on
the dollar, and such county tax as
might be assessed once in Il quarter
of a century. They could "swear
off their personal property, and the
Sllill lOtdl lOI luNCS NOtlItl HC hIVSh
less than Gov. Smiths commission
would assess them on contract"
Then, too, the unorganized town
might be called after its millionaire
for instance, Astorburg, Vaudeville,
Rockafellcrborough, etc. And each
millionaire if he wished could have
Il seat in the general assembly if he
would only consent to incorpora-
tion-he might even aspire to be
governor!
If this plan commends itself to any
suffering millionaire wishing to be
secure from the long, bony, grasping
fingers of the tax-man, 4 full list of
unorganizcd towns and cores, with
location, nature of fishing and hunt
ing, nearest town liquor agents, ETC.,
will be furnished on application.

Senator Plat says that govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of some of the governed.
This is not just the way the pre-
amblc of the Declaration of indie
pcndencc reads, but it is supposed
to strengthen the senator's argument
for the acquisition of the Philip
pines. "Of some of the governed
does this mean that the consent of
a hundred or thousand aborigines
is all that is necessary tor the estab-
lishmcnt of a government, to which
millions of the people of the islands
may be opposed. "Constitution
and conscience" are less important
than land-grabblng in the tropics so
tar as the imperialists are concerned.
That a radical departure from the
principles which have made this
country what it is should be followed
by the mass of the people does not
seem possible.

And gu. of Il grave il the SOL; bland,

For houors sake lie would not make

The great world lay before him,
For he was in his youth.
With love of life young hearts are rife,
But better he loved truth.

And when he stood at bay

From hcnor's narrow way.

As one who had not heard.

He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope.
