ject of tariff reimbursement is taken up by Con-
gress, the maximum and minimum system OF
tariff schedules Will play an important part in
the discussion The President has not yet given
much consideration TO this suggestion, and iC is
not likely that he will urge it upon Congress,
although he may be convinced Of the efficacy of
the system by Senators Aldrich Lodge and some
others who have already signified their high
estimation of this form Of tariff legislation. In
the estimation of those who have given careful
study to the dual schedule system, it would not
only insure the benefits of real reciprocity, but
would provide additional advantages. Once
Congress had enacted n tariff law embodying
minimum and maximum rates, discretion to
their application could be left TO the President,
and he could not only apply the minimum rate
to imports from those countries which accorded
special privileges to the United States, but he
could also enforce the maximum rates in in
stances where unjust Determinations against
American products We're authorized or permitted,
a retaliatory feature difficult to embody in re
ciprocal treaties Those who support this plan
argue that the authority conferred on the Chief
Executive by such Il law would not exceed,
even equal. the discretion vested in him in other
matters while the benefits of the system would
more than offset any possible disadvantage,

penalty of taking them from the small also"
In his letter of acceptance the President further
says: Of a tariff law is passed aimed at pre-
venting the prosperity of some of our people, 1t
is as certain as anything be that this aim
will be achieved only by cutting down the pros
perity of all of our people"

INTERNAL REVENUE.

When it becomes necessary to readjust the
tariff schedules it will, presumably, be neces-
sary also to make some changes in the internal
revenue features now embodied in the Dlngley
act That changes in this direction are neces
sary is the belief of some members OF the
Ways and Means Committee, although serious
consideration has not yet been given 10 the de-
tails II is asserted that conditions governing
those industries from which internal revenue is
collected change quite rapidly rs do those af-
fectiug the protected industries, and readJust-
ment of the internal revenue law is usually
necessary whenever the time arrives for
change in the customs schedules The unprec-
edented prosperity which the nation has en-
joyed during the last seven years of Republican
administration has materially augmented the
profits Of the brewers. distilers and tobacco
manufacturers, and it is not improbable that III

VERMONT FIRES.

Fire broke out in the Enright block
on State street in Windsor and worked
through many partitions before it was
extinguished. The building is OF
brick and was insured for 81, 400; the
loss was $4,000.
Fire in the grocery store of f. IL.
! Slayton in Barre Feb. IL practically
destroyed the stock valued at 81, 250.
The cause of the fire is thought TO
have been electric wire not properly
insulated. The loss on the building is
slight. 1t was insured for $500 and
is owned by A. A. Sargent. The stock
was insured for $500.
An overheated stovepipe caused a
fire Feb. II in the Office OF the VOL
colt House livery at Wolcott and de-
stroyed the barn. The horses, sleighs,
part of the harnesses and all but two
wagons were saved. The Fife block
was also slightly damaged by the fire.
G. II. Wright, the proprietor of the
livery, reports loss of $500, with no
insurance.
The Office and storehouse OF the
Central Vermont railroad at Barre was
badly damaged by fire Feb. Is, start
ing from a defective stovepipe. The
freight stored in the building is
thought to be damaged so the loss will
be covered by $1,000. In going to the
fire one hose cart tipped over in the
car track, breaking a wheel. No one
was hurt.
Fire at O'Clock in the morning Feb.
Is destroyed the lumber mill of John
W. Eagan at Middlesex, causing loss
OF about 5000, on which there was
an insurance OF 1880. The cause OF
the fire is unknown but it is believed
to have been spontaneous combustion
of sawdnst or from an over-heated
boiler When the FIRE was discovered
the building was mass of flames and
nothing could be done to save any Of
the machinery. This is the second
time Mr.. Eagan's mill on this site has
been destroyed by fire and year ago
last June his plant was practically
ruined by high water.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY.

In this Russo-Japanese war, it i;
safe to say that nine out of every tel
Americans hope Japan will win. Al
first thought, this is a peculiar state OF
sentiment to exist in the United States
and it may be worth while to analyze
it little.
The pending struggle is between an
Oriental and an Occidental nation; be-
tween the Mongolian and the Caucas-
ian races between a pagan and a
Christian people. America is Occi-
dental, is Caucasian. is Christian, vet
even these strong ties do not draw her
toward Russia, and instead she gives
her sympathy to those of different
civilization. race and creed.
Nor does the sense of gratitude gov
ern, else we might now requite Russia
tor more than one favor done us in an
emergency. 1t was during a dark
period of the Rebellion that the pres
ence of a Russian fleet in New York
harbor served opportunely to check a
disposition on the part of France and
England to recognize the Confederacy.
Ii was Russia who sold us Alaska more
to humor us in the notion that one
European neighbor to the northward
was a plenty than because she really
desired to part with it. Indeed, Rus
sia has always been firm and constant
in her friendship TO America.
How is it, then, that we favor the
japanese now?
In the first place, despite the SEEM
ing community Of interests between
Russia and America there is a wide
chasm between the two, so wide, IN
tact, that it is a question If we do not
recognize the Monaghan pagans OF
Japan, as they are today, more a.
insmen than we do the Muscovites
Though nominally Caucasian, the Rus
SANS are far removed racially from the
reutons, Celts and Latins from which
We sprung, and nowhere do our his

HISTORY UPSET.

duction Of the old Constitution House
in Windsor.
think that would be mistake.
looked over that old building two
years ago with good deal OF rever-
ence, as my reat-grandfather was a
member of the legislature that sat in
Windsor in 1871 and again in 1888,
and | supposed that | was looking at
the veritable building in which he had
figured as a Vermont Scion. After
examining the records do not think
there is a particle OF evidence that any
legislative body ever sat in that build
ing 20 do any state business.
The delegates TO the Constitutional
convention were called TO order and
organized in the meeting house, and
as the minutes state they adjourned, in
the course OF time, TO that hosiery,
and probably they adjourned to il
many times.
My experience in examining early
town records is that the town meet
ings often adjourned to the local
tavern, not to do business, but to get
a drink. In Barnard, where | was
brought up, the town records have
it,
VOTED. that this meeting adjourn
to Esquire Chaney's tavern Tor Is
minutes" That was the limit allowed
Tor filling up with the spirit of the
times.
1t is almost too bad TO spoil good
story, or a sacred tradition, but the
Constitutional convention, or any
other session of the legislature of
Vermont never sat in that old build
ing to do any business other than to
invigorate their spiritual constitution.
The old building has figured pretty
well in the states early history, but il
is the William Tell of Vermont fiction.

SUICIDES AND ACCIDENTS.

Sheldon Smith, while assisting to
saw wood with gasoline machine
in Montpelier Feb. 10, in some way
slipped while carrying wood to the
machine. As he fell, he threw out his
hand to save himself, which came in
contact with the saw, nearly severlng
the LETT hand just above the wrist. IL
was found necessary to amputate the
hand above the wrist.
The morning mail train from the
south arriving at Montpelier at
o'clock narrowly escaped being
wrecked Feb. Is. When near the
/ Harlow bridge just above Northreldr
when the train was running at forty
miles an hour, a brake beam on the
tender broke and was dragged along
on the ties for some distance. The
wheels of the combination car and the
passenger coach went over this OBJ
/ struction but the train was brought to
a standstill without leaving the rails
Miles Godfrey, employed in + w.
/ Huntley's feed store in Duxbury, at
tempted suicide by hanging Feb. IL
He was found in the dry house by 10
seph Blanchard just in time to cut the
rope and save Godfrey's life. Three
weeks ago Godfrey married Miss Sadie
Morse. The couple had begun house
keeping, but the 10th Mrs. Godfrey
left for parts unknown. Her depart
ure is supposed to have been the mo-
tive for the attempt at suicide.
Bert Parsons, son of Albert Parsons,
living on Lake Bomoseen in Castleton,
shot himself in the basement OF
Mounds livery stable at u 80 o'clock
Sunday morning, Feb. IA, inflicting a
serious wound. 1t is believed to nave
been an attempt at suicide, due to
jealousy. Parsons had been 10 dane
ing school in Castleton village, where
it is said some unpleasantness oc-
cured A party of young men were
in the livery stable getting their teams
when Parsons went into the basement.
Soon after the report of revolver was
heard and Parsons was found with a
32-caliber bullet in the left side of his
chest.
Samuel Smith of Poultney was run
over and killed by an evening train
Feb. 13. His residence was in James
vile, a small place two miles south OF
Poultney on the Granville road. He
was in the habit OF walking the track
to his home He was seen in the early
evening about town in an intoxicated
condition and was taken OFF the track
Just before the train came in. About
Is minutes after the train had gone a
person passing heard groans and pro-
cured help and a lantern and found
him with a hole in mis- head A
stretcher was procured and he was TAX
en- into the office of 4. NJ. Bixby and
afterwards to his home, where he died.

no relative of the late John and Mollie
Stark.
