No Ground At All.

The general contention OF the opponents
OF the present system Of choosing legislators
in Vermont Is that the representation is not
fairly divided and that the body in the low
or House is too large. In New Hampshire, a
State with only a little larger population
than Vermont, each town is given repre-.
sentatlon and the larger towns are given
additional representatives which increases
the membership of its lower house to some
thing over 100 more members than in the
Vermont legislature. The Montpelier
JOURNAL is therefore standing on very
narrow technical ground in criticising this
Journals recent enquiry. Do the advocates
OF a change in represen alton wish to build
an addition to the present State House and
fill 1t with members from the large towns
or do they wish to deprive the small towns
from representation as distinct towns; or
both; or what is really wanted2-Northfield
News.
And the Ne,0s is standing on no
ground at all. The JOURNALS "nar.
row technical ground" as to the basis
OF representation in the New Hamp-
shire House of Representative is this:
One representative for every town, or
ward in city, Of 900 inhabitants; two
representatives for 200 inhabitants,
and one additional representative for
each town or ward for each additional
1900 inhabitants. Anything narrowly
technical in the JOURNALS answer to
the Ne,oS' inquiry, elbow about New
Hampshire" that people, not dirt, is
the basis of representa- ion lherep The
contemporary inquiry was simply TO-
tended to be "smart," believ ng that
the town system Of representation ex-
listed in New Hampshire as it does in
Vermont and Connecticut, the States
mentioned in the JOURNALS para
graph on the subject
The contemporary further illustrates
his lack of understanding on this sub
ject by the suggestion as to the enlarge
ment of the State House, aud its time
honored rot about depriving the small
towns of presentation. This is simp-
ly dust to cover retreat from mistaken
position. Every tcheme of representa-
ton for Vermont, founded on tie
fundamental principle of all the State
and National governments, contem-
plates some ratio that would r, duce the
present bulky and unwieldy member
ship to such reasonable number as
would secure efficiency and despatch in
its proceedings. And under a system
that is in harmony with this principle,
and does no make a mockery OF it, the
people of the Safe, whether they live
in small communities or large would be
represe ted-which they are not under
the existing unrepublican monsirosity.

AMERICAN SILK RIBBONS.


The silk ribbon manufacturers Of the
United States have scored an impor-
tant point in the recent decision of the
Board of General Appraisers by which
ribbons are classified as trimmings"
and made dutiable at go per cent. ad
yalorem. Heretofore silk ribbons have
been paying 30 per cent duty as
provided for and the addition of 10
per cent. If sustained by the courts,
will cut SO deeply into the profits of
the foreign manufacturer as TO give
our domestic ribbon makers the viz
tual control of the big home market
through the exclusion of foreign i'm
portations.
For the nine months ending March
81, 1899, we Imported silk ribbons of
the value OF S1,373,32S The bulk of
this sum will now be kept at home
and paid out to American labor, which
Is a good thing to do. As to quality
and price, the genius of American in,
dustry may be trusted 10 attend to the
former, while competition will take
care of the latter. Such has invaria
bly, been the outcome of the American
Protective policy.

Among the most notable occurances
in the ceremonies commemorate ting
the one huudreth anniversary of the
death of Washington was the address
Of President Mckinley. Whatever
else may be said of MIR. Mckinley he
is not given to hasty speeches or un-
timely utterances. In his speech on
the anniversary of Washington's
death, last Thursday, he again proc
laimed his policy, when he stated
that through the intervening years
the republic has been true to the
precepts Of the constitution, and
when he said: "The nation needs at
this moment the help of Washing.
tons wise example. In dealing with
our vast responsibilities, we turn to
him. We invoke the counsel of his
life and character and courage. We
summon his precepts that we may
keep his pledges to maintain justice
and law, education and morality, and
civil and religious liberty, In every
part Of or country, the Few as well
as the Old" This is a guarantee OF
good faith toward our new posses
siobs, and as such cannot meet with
anything but the most hearty COM
mendation. --Det Tribune.

Neither luck nor chance ha

Neither luck nor chance has
brought success to the American arms
and peace to Luzon. The final cam
paign against Aguinaldo began six
weeks ago. 1t was skilifully planed
by Gen. Otis and promptly executed
by his efficient subordinates. The
result shows the folly of the yellow
journal and Associated Press clamor
against the management of the Phil
ippine campaign 10 general and Otis
in particular. 1t takes time and in
finite capacity for taking pains, to
prepare an efficient military ma
chine. Otis took time and pains and
when all things were ready the ma.
chine was started and did its work
perfectly. The end has crowned the
work and the total collapse of the
Tagal revolt has justified the conf
dence placed by the nation in the
steadfast and accomplishing officer
in command at Manila. - Chicago
