still greater occasion, for it is believed
that he will find federation somewhat
after the Canadian pattern to be the
best solution of most of the difficulties
by which Lord Miner in the north and
Sir John Gordon Sprigg in Cape Colony
are oppressed. What Lord Durham
did for Canada half century ago Mr..
Chamberlain may do for South Africa.
1t would be his own ideal climax to his
life's work.
Secretary Chamberlain will be the
guest Of Sir Walter Hely- Hutchinson
and Sir Henry McCallum.
Mr.. Chamberlain proposes to start for
South Africa toward the end Of this
month and to return in the early part
of March. His visit will embrace the
Cape, Natal, the Orange River Colony
and the Transvaal. He will be re-
ceived with the honor due his official
rank.

The fact may not be generally
known that Uncle Sam is in the chrys-
anthemum business and that his ex-
hibits in this line are something alto
gether gorgeous and almost UNIQUE.
The chrysanthemum show which the
secretary Of agriculture has been CIV
ing in Washington has even excited
the envy and admiration Of the Japa-
nese colony there, who allow that they
never saw anything more beautiful at
home. The specimens which have
been grown under the direction of the
agricultural departments experts rival
the rarest Of their kind in the world.
Whether or not the raising of chrysan
themums is Of any practical value to
the science Of agriculture, it is crafty
ing to know that the department is
producing the best in the market.

The Best Remedy for Group.

[From the Atkinson. Kan. Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an old.
fashioned remedy for Group, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in short time. Give this remedy
as soon as the Group cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by John w. Thurston, Island Pond.

Death of G.. II. Chase:

The HERALD regrets to announce the
death of G. M. Chase, editor and founder
of the Vermont Union, who died at his
home in Lyndon Saturday afternoon
from a complication of troubles leading
up to heart failure. For over year he
had been in failing health and for the
past six months had been confined to
his house.
He was born in Lyndon, November 6,
1929, and was almost 70 years old. He
was educated at the academies at Lyn-
don, st. Johnsbury and Meriden, n. H.,
and was graduated from Dartmouth
College in 1853 In 1857 he was adj
United to the bar in Sycamore, ILL.,, where
he practiced his profession and edited
the DeKalb County Sentinel. When the
civil War broke out he enlisted and
was leader Of the brigade band of the
18th Illinois volunteers for few months.
lie mad previously taught music in the
Ohio Female College and composed in
those years church tunes which have APP
peared in various church hymn books.
After the war he returned to his Ver-
mont home and established the Vermont
Union and for nearly 40 years has been
its only editor and proprietor. He made
a specially of news from the surround
ing towns and visited every week the
leading towns up and down the Passump-

Communication of Death
Sentences.

There are some things in the eXecn-
ton of statute law that are absolutely
essential to the maintenance OF its eillcl-
ency and to secure results from its pro-
visions. The law should be rule oil
action prescribed by the supreme power
of the state which shall be absolute.
That is the most essential requisite OF
statutory enactment. The certainty oil
punishment under it is the most deter
rent thing about it next to the rule ITSELF
As a question of abstract right and policy
men differ as to the right and propriety
of taking the life of an individual, even
under the sanction of enactments for
that purpose. Practically that is no
longer an open question in Vermont
The right and propriety of executing
men for murder has been settled and
sanctioned by long practice in our state.
Whether or not such legislation should
be abandoned is an open question,
properly appealing at all times to the
legislature, but until abandoned it should
be applied with absolute certainty to
every case which the judicial depart
ment had determined to come within
the rule. Take situation. A man
shoots down his fellow man in cold
blood. There is no doubt about his
guilt. His murderous motive is beyond
question and he comes clearly within
the rule which requires that he shall be
hanged Another commits murder.
(The executives of the law go about
bringing him to trial, simply asking
him to submit to such fair investigation
as the laws provide.) He openly dehes
the authority of the law, renounces all
obedience to society and its just rules.
He deliberately shoots down an officer
of the law, thus holding in contempt
and abandoning all his relations tc
society and the law. Now what is palmer
than if his sentence is committed to i'm
prisonment for life that it takes the stat
ute from its solid basis and its certainty
of execution, and places its execution
not upon reason, not upon just punish
ment, not upon the safety of the public
nor upon any other sound reason, bu
upon a sickly sentimentality which sub
stitutes individual impulses for the Law
itself? And thus not only weakens bu
abandons the law and all its foundations
Not only that but if Communication pre-
walls as it has in years past it present
the curious spectacle of the Legislative
department of the government constantly
impeaching the judicial, and upon pre-
cisely the same grounds on which the
judicial acted in disposing of the case
And it is getting to be so farcical tina
the wonder is that the people do not or,
out either abolish the law or execute it.

LETTER FROM MONTPELIER.
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.
October %. 100,

October %, 1902.
Assuming that the work of this ses-
sion will be completed before Thanks
giving, last night the Legislature passed
the half way station. Never perhaps in
the history of any former Legislature was
there more spirited discussion of burn
ing questions, or more eventful even
ing session.
Two meetings were in progress at the
same time which divided the attention
of press representatives and members
and each attracted large attendance.
Promptly at 7 o'clock the joint commit
tee on temperance, consisting of 25
members, met in the senate chamber
and listened to the presentation Of the
views of delegation of the most promi-
nent druggists Of the state, Blakely of
Montpelier, Davis of Barre, and others.
These gentlemen advocated stringent
regulation so as to shut off bogus drug
gists who were in the business for
"revenue only on "wet goods Then
Charles N. Davenport, of Brattleboro,
probably the brainest and most widely
read man in the Democratic party of
Vermont today, spoke most cogently for
an hour on the general question, giving
especial attention to the restriction nee.
essary and the penalties attached, the
checks and balances provided in the
Conland bill, or so called Democratic
High License Local Option bill, of which
he was very largely the author. Its one
special defect is emitting the Referen-
dunn, of course on the plea that the peo-
pie had already decided that issue at
the recent state election. 1t is perfectly
apparent however that the discussion was
not on the naked issue of High License,
but was mixed up and befogged with
