BurlingtOn's "Debt."

According to the Burlington Neps'
notion of some things, the daring youth
that fired the Ephesian dome was a
somewhat more meritorious character
than "the pious fool that reared it," or
the engine driver who can "run" a
locomotive is greater than the mechanic
who invented and builded the machine;
or the boy who can turn on the electric
current is above the Edison who con-
ceived the idea of electric lighting and
devised the apparatus. So General
Grout, after Secretary Proctor had got
the war department committed to the
project of military post near Essex
Junction, and the bill carrying the
scheme into effect had been framed
and was ready to be introduced in Con-
gress, is the real author and successful
manipulation of the project because he
pulled the throttle lever that set it in
motion in the House of Representa-
tives, or pressed the button which re-
leased the forces other agencies had
corralled. "For this work." says the
Ne,os, "the people of Burlington are in
debt to General Grout." The impre g.
sion has hitherto been that this mill
tary post was created for the benefit of
the United States. If, however, its
purpose was to assemble few soldiers
near Burlington, for the benefit of the
shop keepers, saloons and peculiar in
situations of the Queen City, and Bur-
lington owes General Grout debt
therefor, the city should pay it, not
saddle this obligation on to the State of
Vermont and make it an issue in the
election Of United States Senator.

For Dillingham;.

Unmoved by the enormity of Dilling-
hams course in the Legislature of 1884
in opposing an utterly irrational and
plainly unconstitutional measure re-
lating to the production and sale of
oleomargarine, the Republicans of Ben
nington county, in convention assem-
bled, have voted unanimously that the
Senators they had nominated shall sup
port W. P. Dillingham; for United
States Senator to succeed the late JUS
tin S. Morrill,, and have instructed their

The Republicans of Bennington
county constitute from two-thirds to
three quarters of all the voters of the
county. This body of Vermont popu-
lation, like the population of the State

tinually declaring, is composed of farm
ers in the ratio of nine to one Now is

In South Africa,

The British public joyously hailed
the occupation OF Pretoria by General
Roberts as the end of the war in South
Africa. That was some two months
ago, but the war continues. There are
periodic reports of Boer commander
cutting up or taking into camp Brit
ish force, making raids through and be-
hind the British lines, cutting telegraph
wires and destroying railway lines, and
managing generally to keep the English
army very busy.
Meantime England is constantly
sending reinforcements to supply the
varied wastes of war. For Great
Britain the contest is very much like
pushing long icicle against hot
stove, which the Beers contrive to keep
constantly heated, and the iccle is
constantly disappearing at the front.
Fatalities in the field, wounds, sickness,
exhaustion from constant and exacting
service, ceaselessly melt away the head
of the English column, and recruits are
ceaselessly pushed on from England

The TwO-IIeaded Calf,

The Montpelier Argus seeks 10 con-
ceal from the gaze of the local public
one of the heads-the chief and only
real live head, in fact-of the Bryan
monstrosity, by means of the following
blind:
Imperialism is the paramount issue this
year, not because the Democratic platform
declares it to be 80, but because crcum-
stances make it 30. Silver will not figure
in the campaign, except as some dissatisfied
people insist on dragging it in.
This disguise the Mortified Ne,os
tears away, disclosing the real head of
the animal and showing what def rm-
ed, weakened, lifeless head the alleged
paramount issue" actually is. The
NeDs challenges the Argus statement
and adds:
"Who but Mr.. Bryan, himself, insisted
upon dragging in the silver issue at the
Democratic national convention? The
Bryanites in the East are expected to con-
ceal the thing as much as possible with
msstatements like the above; while in GER
tain sections of the West the silver issue
must be extolled and the falsehood OF i'm.
perialsm concealed. This is the campaign
of the revised Democracy, better called the
Bryan party"
The committee on resolutions at the
Kansas City convention adopted the
16 to l plank by small majority, to
which Vermont contributed, but the
convention ratified this action of the
committee with whoop and hurrah.
This resolution was the paramount is
sue with the Vermont delegates, of
whom the publisher of the Argus was
one; it was the one issue over which
there was strenuous contest in the
committees; it was the paramount issue
in the deliberations of that body, with
the delegates in the convention, and it
was the supreme and paramount issue
with the candidate for the presidency
those delegates had assembled to nom
mate. Free coinage OF silver in the
ratio of 16 to was the sine qua non
with Bryan, and it was necessarily par
amount with the convention. The 16

ers-with the notion that it's body

GUS feature in the Democratic political

Blow Ye the Trumpet!

1t is commonly understood that an
important national political canvass has
begun. Vermont will be the first State
to declare her judgment. Her election
will be held on the 4th of September, a
few weeks hence. Here in Montpelier
national campaigns have generally had
an early and enthusiastic opening. AS
yet not banner is up in q public place,
not a rallying cry has been heard from
the stump. The existence and where
abouts of the local Republican COM
mittee is the subject of much interest
ed inquiry. Wake up, and lead off
gentlemen of the committee. The peo-
pie are eager to follow.

A Hit Bird Flutters and Squawks.

The air is full of feathers and there
is great outcry down White River
Junction way, in the vicinity of the
Landmarks office. Evidently a bird
there has been hit. After thinking the
matter over some two weeks the con.
temporary bursts into this frantic
declaration:
"Whoever asserts that General Grout ev.
or paid, or ever promised to pay, $500 or any
other sum whatsoever, in return for the
Landmark's support of him. as candidate
for the United States Senate, utters down
right falsehood."
The contemporary should turn itself
loose on its immediate environment.
There seem to be great many iars,
or believers in lie, in and around the
junction village. When he has clean ed

sion.
The contest has passed the heroic
stage of Magersfontein, the Tugela and
Spion Kop, and settled down into the
undramatic events of guerilla warfare,
in which, however, it must be said the
farmers of the Transvaal are displaying
a logged spirit as truly heroic as in the
spectacular contests of the meridian
of the strife. The Boer forces, broken
up into small detachments, exhibit great
agility in lodging about and harrassing
the invading forces but evade cap
ture. This sort of warfare seems to be
really more trying to the British than
the battles and campaigns of the pre-
vious stages of the war.
Meantime the chances of European
embodiment in China encourage the
burgher patriots to keep up the fight
against England in the hope that time
may yet bring them the advantage.

Blackburnism and GoebeIism,

The Kentucky Democrats in State
convention seem to have "thrown
down" Senator Blackburn. He wanted
them to regard himself, as senator.
elect, the only bene ficiary of the Goe-
bel law, and to defeat Governor Beck
ham because he was also a beneficiary
under that law and under the conse-
quences which it produced. The con-
vention said that Blackburn could not
be the receiver of stolen goods and the
denouncer of the theft at the same
time. This was about right. Goebel-
ism was bad enough, in all conscience,
but Blackburnism gains nothing by
comparison. The Republican conven-
ton has taken the ground outright in
favor of honest elections or a revolu-
ton. That is the only tenable ground
and it may result in honest elections. -

tile to the farmers interest, or they be-
lieved he had been hostile, in the spe-
ciic instance cited, or at any other time,
or on any other occasion, in his life2
This convention, unlike most of the
preceding county conventions, was
held at time after the men and papers
supporting General Grout had vigor-
ously and voluminously exploited the
proceedings in the Legislature of 1884,
on the Parker oleomargarine bill, and
had filed the ears of the farmers with
their violent, false and INSCRIPTIONS
charges respecting the animus of Mr..
Dillingham; course in respect Of that
measure. What is the result2 This
farmer body unanimously instructs the
men it has nominated for Senators, and
who will have voice in the cleo ion
of United States Senator, not only to
vote for Mr.. Dillingham;, but also to
use all honorable means to secure his
election.
Evidently the farmers of Benning-
ton county-and all Vermont-regard
this hullabaloo of the Grout people
over this oleomargarine matter, like
the peeping of Mr.. Horr's famous tree
toad, as "nothing but id noise"
and this is the real truth of the mat
ter. And this "noise" has been kept
up in CIRCUITS interest for the last six
teen years. 1t is always loudest when
a contested election is pending in
which General CIRCUITS political for
tunes are at stake. 1t has lost its pow
er to arouse. The farmers have be-
come disillusioned. They believe as

Evidently Governor Smith was pre-

court. Why that great legal lumin-
airy and constitutional lawyer, Wal,
lace H. Parker of Cambridge, Lamoille

Judge Ross or Judge Thompson, is one
of the surprises the resurrection of GER

otherwise, but the real condition of az
tairs at Pekin is entirely matter of
surmise. The fate of the foreigners in

terry as was that of General Gordon, a
thousand miles up the Nile, ia Khar-
toom, in the early eighties, or of EN- in
Pasha, on the upper Nile in the heart
OF the Dark Continent, when Stanley
went to his rescue.
If the Chinese are guilty of the muir
der of the foreign ministers, and the
government of China is guilty of the
duplicity it is charged with practicing
to conceal the massacre and gain time
for standing off the powers, the anci ent
kingdom will need some influence
more puissant than that of idols to save
her from the wrath of the day of reck-

There were some 10000 census emu
merators to be selected. A supervisor
was appointed for each census dis
trict. This officer was charged, among
other duties, with the work of designat-
ing these enumerators. Now is it cred
ible that Director Merriam, at Wasn-
ington, burdened with all the vast and
manifold responsibilities of his office,
reviewed all these 10000 petty appoint
ments of the supervisors, to see if
those officials we're doing their duty?
Did he review any of them except at
the instance of some person interested
in one way or another, for one
person or another, in certain appoint
ments in certain localities? And how
happened Director Merriam, away
off in Washington, to be taking 30 live
ly an interest in the appointment
of the enumerators for Hartford =,
East Montpelier, and other towns in
the second congressional district of
Vermont, overhauling and annulling
certain selections of Supervisor Gates,
on whom the law imposed the duty,
primarily, of determining the quali6ca.

and appointing themP The Herald and
Ne,os of Randolph answers this query:
Probably the director had the authority
to review the case and appoint whom he
