(From the Enosburgh Standard)

These are great days for Vermont The
attempt of aspiring young journalists TO
siSnalze their advent into the journal
istic arena by rcgaling tho people
throughout the country with the idea that
Vermont is deradent and in nearly a
n'nribund condition. has fallen fiat. They
assumed that they were commissioned TO
clean the Augean stables of republican
1ncompetency. even to the extent Of gal
vanzng the nearly extinct Democratic
party in the State with a surplus of re-
publican blood, thus making It an active
competitive force in State affairs and chal-
ieneng the non prog e-siveness Of repub-
lie IN administration, which they claim has
obtained for the past 10 years But heir
theories have received such serious blows
by the revelations of the federal cehs is
| that 1t seems almost like cruelty to ami
mails to again remind them that the old
commonwealth is still on the map and
! continues to lead the Union in more ways
than one.
It is with pleasure that we call the at
tention of the people to the reports of the
| three financial officers connected with the
last administration Of affairs in the State,
| l. a., the reports Of Hon. o. NJ. Barber,
state auditor. of Hon. j. r.. Cushmdn. tax
commissioner and of Hon j. l.. Bacon,
state treasurer, which make II very plain
that a condition has arrived in Vermont
which has been long desired. when 1t is
no longer necessary to have direct State
tax to pay the current expenses OF the
| State government
| The law which was placed upon the
statute hooks in lSS3, had this result in
view knowing that a fair and equitable
tax upon the corporations of the State
would in time remove the necessity of a
direct State tax upon the grand list.
And in this Vermont was, as usual.

their desires.

AMALCAMATED DISPUTE ENDS.
Convention Unanimously Adopts ;
Compromise Report on Trouble
With Delinquents.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 19.-As
predicted by the Associated Press, a
compromise has been effected in the
Amalgamated association regarding
the lodges which failed to pay the
recent strike assessments. Yesterday
morning the contested seat committee
reported to the convention.
The report upholds the constit,l-
tionality of assessments and the ac-
tion of the executive officers in max
ing them is endorsed. Particular
reference in mplimentary vein
was made regarding President Shat
fer's action in originating the assess
ments. The opposition to the assess
ments was treated equally kindly.
The exact nature of the report in re-
spect to the rebellious lodges is not
disclosed, but it is known that some
were exonerated and given clean
bill and the difficulties with the 9TH
ers were so adjusted as to give them
a reasonable time to pay np their de-
linquencies, which they agreed to do.
In view of the existing conditions
it was not considered wise to censure
delinquent lodges, and their course III
refusing to pay was practically con-
doned.
1t took nearly the entire session to
explain the report and the commit
tees reasons for making it. 1t
seemed to give entire satisfaction to
the convention, because when it came
to voting on the report there was but
one dissenting voice. When this
somewhat lonely individual discov-
cred the solitude he was in he chang
ed his vote.

HOUSE MEMBERS EXCITED.
cIeveland's $4,000, 900 Park BlH
Cause Of Much Confusion In
Ohio Legislature.

Columbus, April 19.-The house was
the scene of the widest confusion
yesterday morning, caused by the
rushing through without debate of
the Cleveland 100000 park bill,
which Is desired by Senator Hanna
and is so drawn that Mayor Tom
l.. Johnson will have no power over
the expenditure of the money.
The Cleveland delegates, solidly
Democratic, opposed it and were join
ed by the other Democrats in the
house. Speaker McKinnon refused
to recognize Cleveland members who
wished to discuss the measure and
to amend it.
Stage, Democrat, from Cleveland
shouted to the speaker:
you are an autocrat. You are a
coward"
The speaker ordered him to take
his seat, but he refused.
The sergeant-at-arms was ordered
to put him out.
Let him try it" said Stage.
"Hit him with a bill book" shouted
Representative Meisel, and Stage pre-
pared to act upon the advice.
The officer hesitated. Friends in
terfered and the disorder was ended
The bill was passed.
The Democratic minority in the
house seems to have the Republicans
tightly tied up on the general appro
priation bill. The constitution pro
vides that measures expanding money
must receive a two-thirds vote, or "a
votes. The Republicans have only 81
members. They tried to rush through
the appropriation bill Thursday with
out debate, but fell short, the bill be
ing defeated. The vote was at once
reeonsidered and the bill made a spe
cial order for next Tuesday
