GOV. PROCTOR'S HERESY.

What ails Fletcher j. PROCTOR lie
was born to Republicanism nutured on
the pure milk OF protection, schooled in
the holy mysteries of the sacred tar
irf from earliest infancy. All his days
his opportunities to learn the right
path have been superexcellent. From
boyhood he has enjoyed peculiar facili-
ties for distinguishing truth from err
ror. Yet in his Inaugural message" 10
the general assembly of Vermont Gov.
Proctor said:
ITO be sure we cannot create pros
perity simply by legislation: true pros
perity must come from a deeper source.
1t must come through the efforts of
the people--through taking advantage
of natural condition and opportuni-
ties. We shall prosper agriculturally
only so far as the farmer employs the
opportunities and natural conditions at
his command. Manufacturing will de-
velop in Vermont only so far as brains,
capital and energy utilize the splendid
opportunities In our hills and waterfalls
and our reasonable proximity TO mark
cts. But your duty to tho state is none
the less important. for II rests with you
10 so legislate as to foster and not dis
courage industry TO promote ana not
TO retard prosperity. and 10 give 10 all
our people the employment OF as many
public blessings as is consistent with
the economical administration OF their
public affairs"
What sentiments are these for
young Republican, dwelling In
stronghold of Republlcanism, to utter?
The consistent Republican doctrine, the
doctrine preached by such masters as
the mighty Shaw, the reformed Can
non. the saplent Fairbanks, the
thoughtful Sherman, is that all pros
perity comes from law. and only from
Republican law at that.
Congress and Tama Jim make tho
corn and wheat TO grow. High pro-
lection planted the minerals In the
earth. FISH in the sea. The rain falls
and the sun shines because the Ding
ley tariff law was passed. Can any
man doubt these truths? Send him
10 the Republican text book.
Gov. Proctor has strayed far from
the ways OF virtue. He Will be lost
unless he is reformed Immediately. A
high council OF Republican physicians
should be convened Immediately to
treat the alarming symptoms OF polt-
ical sanity and good sense he exhibits

L. R, REDMOND DIES IN PEACEFUL HOME.
The Former Notorious Moonshiner Whose Das~

SENECA, April ia few days ago
there died about seven miles east Of
Seneca quiet farmer, whose name about
80 years ago was perhaps as familiar to q
multitude of people in this country as
nearly any other at that time. Lewis R.
Redmond, the noted moonshiner, by his
daring violations of the revenue laws, his
many hair-breadth escapes, his final cap
ture and conviction, his Imprisonment at
Albany and his pardon by President
Cleveland, became a notable character.
Many things were credited to him that
did not belong to him, but simple re-:
cital of his life experience would prove
thrilling reading.
For number of years he has been
leading the quiet, unobtrusive life of q
farmer in this county. he leaves prac-
tical, energetic wife and several children.

JOHNSTON, April 14.-Tonight at II
o'clock Mr.. J. T. burst, butcher, and
restaurant keeper of this town, was shot
and perhaps seriously wounded by a
negro barber, Joe Grant. The negro
escaped.
Mr.. burst and the negro had dispute
about some rent which it was alleged the
negro owed burst, and the dispute ended
in the shooting. The negro fired five or
six shots, but only one of them struck
Mr.. burst, the ball entering near the
navel and its course not being known at
this hour. He is attended by four physi-
clans, but they have not announced their
opinion of his chances.
Marshal Webb attempted to arrest the
negro, who ran as soon as he saw that he
had wounded Mr.. burst, and the marshal
fired several shots at the fleeing negro
without apparent effect. He made his
escape and it is not known whether OF
not any of the officers shots took effect
Grant came here from Augusta not
long ago and nothing much is known
about him. burst, who was not armed
when the difficulty occurred, is an un'
married man about IS years of age.
