law abiding a community as Vermont
Will not long contain itself if it believes
that there is no sure, speedy and ade-
duate punishment for the damnable rape
iiond WHO seeks to outrage young wom-
on ana nero children"
There have been instances in the recent
history Of Vermont courts of the sem
fencing of man who had been con-
victcd of stealing suit of clothing to
n term of moro than a year i'm the states
prison. and it is a remarkable commen-
tary on our conception of law and order
and the eternal fitness of things when
rape fend can escape with few months
In the House of Correction, while the man
guilty Of petit larceny goes to the peni-
tertiary for n much longer term of in
generation. 1t is time for our courts to
be alive to the serious state of things
existing at the present time. not only
in Vermont. but also in other common
woalths, and to impose upon offenders of
this unspeakable nature the full penalty
of the law.

The Popular Voice in Gubernatoria
Iipcfipns

Whenever tho people of Vermont fail
to elect governor at the polls, the duty
OF choosing an executive dcvolves upon
in the event of the failure Of the people
Of the United States to choose a ma
iority of the electors in favor of any
ono candidate tho presidential election
is thrown into the House Of Representa-
tivcs the people of the state having hut
ono chance to vote directly for governor
The State of Mississippi has a different
way of getting Mt the preference of the
people with reference to the choice of a
governor from that in vogue in Vermont.
primary elections are held in which the
people vote directly for a candidate for
governor instead of selecting delegates
to a convention to perform this duty in
their behalf. In the event of the failure
Of any candidate to receive a majority
Of the votes cast it is provided that an
other primary must be held for the pur
pose Of arriving at a choice of an eXccu-
tive candidate.
At the primary election held in Missis
sippi on Thursday of last week no can
didate for the governorship received a
majority of the popular vote and as a
consequence a second primary will have
to be held Major Vardman had 1860
votes. Critz had 3i.3o2 votes and Noel
received % 500 votes, total Of %, 1856. The
hope has been expressed that the sup
portcrs of Critz and Noel may succeed
in uniting their forces as their combined
vote would be Is is in excess OF that of
Vardman.
This feeling with reference to Yard
man can hardly be regarded az strange
in view Of the tendencies and influences
which he represents. His election would
be a victory for the reIctionary ten
denotes for which he stands, and to this
extent his triumph would be derlolable
In the next place the people of Mississippi
as whole would hardly care to have
in the executive chair an individual who
has killed two men and who has little in
the way of qualification outside of his
hatred Of the colored race, to commend
him to the suNrasi of his State.
In view of the fact that Vermont has
been faced by the necessity of instituting
Il reform in its political primaries. it may
be of interest ana profit in this con-
noction to consider the merits Of the pop
ular primary as a means of choosing
candidates. That the people of Missis-
sppi have taken marked degree of
interest in this method of choosing "a
ticket is indicated by the large increase

The Annual Invasion of Vermont.

There was time when the inhabi-
tants Of these hills and valleys resented
the disposition of outsiders to invade
their borders, but that was when some
question existed with reference to the
title to their lands, and when strangers
were regarded as possible emssarios Of
the New York coonists. Now all this
is changed. The people of Vermont
gladly welcome visitors within their
gates, especially those hearing summer
tourist gifts; and the stranger finds with
in our borders the most gracious hos
pitality
one might be tempted to intimate that
Vermont is disposed to welcome visitors
simply for the profits which their ad-
vent represents to the pockets of in
habitants. but moments reflection will
serve to correct any impression of this
character. Three classes of visitors to
Vermont are on the record this week.
one class Is represented by the party
from Baltimore announced in our col
umns yesterday. There was very little
direct financial interest in the tempo
rary sojourn of these visitors within our
gates except for few individuals, but
our people were glad to welcome them
and proud to hear their praises of the
manifold beauties of this region
Another class Of visitors is represented
by the Vermont Association of Boston
whose members this week make their
annual pilgrimage to the state of their
nativity and youth. our people wei
come them earnestly and sincerely, not
because they may happen to leave a
little money in the State, but because
they are sons and daughters of the
Green Mountain commonwealth and have
come home again for a brief period Of
reunion and recreation at the old fire
side and amid the scenes of early family
associations.
Still another. class of visitors to whose
welcome in our commonwealth no sus-
picion of avarice can attach itself will
be represented this week by the men
of national reputation who will partici-
pate in the dedication OF the Arthur
monument in Fairfield, of the memorial
| building a stowe and other ceremonies
of this character. In this category We
have had the lamented President Nc
| KinleY ON more than one occasion as
well as Theodore Roosevelt, both as
president and vce-president Of the
| United states. This year our list of
distinguished visitors will include re-
/ preventative of the present administra-
| ton in the person of Secretary Shaw
of the treasury department as well as
ex Secretaries Robert Lincoln and Will

Inadequate Punishment

The comparatively small amount of bail
fixed in the case of a fend charged with
assaulting a little girl at Montpelier as
announced in last weeks Free Press has
served to call attention anew to the in
adequacy of punishment which has been
meted out in recent years in Vermont
courts as a rule to brutes of this char
acter. Whether the courts in such in
stances have been constrained to deal
leniently with these offenders on account
of special circumstances or whether other
considerations have prevailed, certain it
is that the penalties imposed have not
invariably been such as would serve to
protect society from raYages Of the
ravisher.
Another instance of this character came
to public notice a short time ago, and we
can not do better in this connection than
TO reproduce the timely and pertinent
comment of the Northhcld News in its
issue of this week. The News says
"a few weeks since one Barney Smith
of PlainfelG, was arrested on the charge
of committing or attempting to commit
a criminal assault upon little girl and
WAS held for the September session of the
GRAND Jury. Last week Smith entered a
plea of guilty to simple assault, which
was accepted by the judge of the Mont
nolier city court, and he was sentenced
tn four or six months in the House of
Correction. The judge had right to
