Very Like War.

Ii Hung Chang is one of the few liv-
ing Cinnamon whose statements would
now pass current for truth anywhere in
the civilized world, and he is about to
disappear into the whirling storm CEN
ter of lies and carnage at Pekin. How
long he can keep the confidence of for
eigners and his own head is altogether
uncertain. II an untoward fate should
overtske him on his present journey
made in obedience to an imperial sum-
mons the world would feel that the
state OK actual war with China was
measurably nearer than before. AS
the most enlightened native in the
kingdom and one who is most familiar
With the disposition and the strength
Of the powers now in alliance for the
protection OF their interests in China,
he is safeguard and his influence a
shield against the calamity of war
between the powers and the imperial
government at Pekin. Should he fall
victim to the fury of Prince Tuan or
to the malevolence Of the old Dowager
Empress, it would not be easy to keep
up much longer the assumption that
the allies are not at war with China,
but with the rebels.-New York Times.

The Vermont Democracy.

The Argus and Patriot has its hun
dred eyes on the fly that infests the
political barn but does not seem able
to discern the barn itself. Its people
were the chief fuglemen and represent
atives of the alleged Democracy OF the
State in the recent conventions, State
and national, but the contemporary OBJ
serves the silence of the grave on po-
liGcsl subjects; or, II it ventures on
discussion, buries its observations in
the tomb of its obsolete weekly edition.
So the militant Democracy OF the State
sigh for the merry days when Hiram,
the Hair Litter, made the Vermont air
lurid with the fires of his warfare for
the candidates OF his party.
The Democracy of Vermont have
indeed fallen upon evil days. While
its old time trumpeter is blowing it's
battered horn timorously for free silver,
free riot, free rum, out in or down in
some by-way or cavern, beyond the
hearing of mortal ear, the Brattleboro
Reformer kicks out of the party traces
and makes a break for the wilderness.
There the contemporary is engaged in
running wires into the mummy Of
Estate Expenses" the paramount
issue" raised by the State Democracy
in 1880, with the purpose-and the
boast-that Vermont's Republican ma
jority should be cut down to $4,000, if,
indeed, it were not wiped out alto
gether, and the way should thus be
opened to a Democratic national VIC
tory in November. But long before
the State canvass ended the tissue"
was engulfed in deluge of exposi-
ton and covered with ridicule, and at
the September polls it was buried I'M
der majority that was the sure fore
runner Of the triumph OF Garfield and
Arthur in the ensuing national cleo
ton.
Now the Reformer is trying to run a
galvanic current into this corpse Of an
issue, dead and buried for twenty years,
and set it up to divert, by its kicks and
| jibberish, attention from the utter COL
lapse of national Democracy in the
State. The Reformer apparently be-
lieves in its ability to fool some people
into the belief that State expenses are
again real live issue, that Republican
State administration is fraud, and Re-
publican State officials are spendthrifts
and rascals. This trick of the Reformer,
periodically played since 1880, has lost
its power to alarm or interest. The
only emotion it raises is pity that the
political fortunes of the contemporary
are at 80 low an ebb that it feels CON-
PEELED to resort again to this transpar-
ent device for maintaining the SEM
blance Of partisan opposition, instead
of following the manly, patriotic and
wholesome leadership of Democratic
papers of the rank and standing of the
Times of New York, and the Eagle OF
Brooklyn, and their contemporaries in
all parts of the country in the Democ'
racy that was once the synonym Of
high craftsmanship.

In law and constitutions, as in mat.
ter, the whole is equal to the sum of
all it's parts. The original constitut ion
OF Vermont made its Legislature to con-
sist of single body--a House of Rep.
resentatives. 1t required that the
members of this Legislature should be
be freemen of the State "most
noted for wisdom and virtue" The
Legislature and the House OF Repre-
sentatives were one and the same
body. In 1886 the Legislature was d.
vided into two parts. The standard of
"wisdom and virtuen was not changed.
In this respect the constitutional re-
quirement pertaining to the old Legis-
lature pertained also to the new, and to
one part as much as the other, to the
Senate as much as to the House. And
yet the Free Prese continues to be-
lieve-or to profess to believe-and to
assert that the constitutional require.
ment of "wisdom and virtue" has no
reference to Senators. The contempt
rary's constitutional malady seems to
be somewhat aggravated by the weather,
or its trouble with the Messenger.

Hon. Carl Schurz says be has "again
and again" challenged the imperialists
to show him a single &C, of psrfidy
more infamous than that which Presi-
dent Mckinley committed against "our
Filipino allies" and renews the chal-
lenge to Senator Foraker. Assuming
that the President is guilty of the perfidy
charged-aDd the fact that Mr.. Schurz
is the sccuser would make it wholly a
matter of assumption-Mr. Foraker
might easily and effectually answer the
challenge by citing the case OF Mr..
Schurz himself. He has been in every
political party in the United States and
has sooner or later betrayed every cause
to which he has allied himself. Abra-
ham Lincoln sharply called this polit-
ical lshmaelite to account during the
most trying hour Of the civil war, and
the political history Of this country
during the last quarter Of a centuy is
spotted with his acts of perfdy. He is
at the present time acting the most in
famously perfdious part in his own
history.
