G. p. MARsHs OMAN AND NATURE"

The most famous work OF our former
Burlington townsman, the Hon. George
y. Marsh. the famous author, philosopher
and diplomat. Is his Man and Nature"
the fruit OF immense observation and
study, describing the changes which have
been wrought by the action Of man In the
surface of the earth. 1t ran through a
number of editions. three at least in Eng
French. The first edition of II in Italian
was translation made by lady in Flor
ence, Italy. II was in print and ready to
be Issued, when Mr.. Marsh received a
copy. He found In IT no less than six
thousand errors, many of them gross and
many ludicrous, averaging ten to page.
Naturally he made row with the pub
Usher, and the edition was suppressed
subsequently a correct translation was
published In Florence with an introduc-
ton by Mr.. Marsh.
A priceless copy OF the suppressed edi-
ton of which few copies exist. is pre-
served in the Marsh room Of the Billings
Library. The university library also pos
sesses H copy of Man and Nature" which
was presented by Mr.. Marsh to Mrs ".
j. Stillman, tho accomplished wife of the
celebrated painter, author and American
consul at Rome and Athens, and CORE
spondent for many years of the London
Times at Rome and in Greece. This COPY
bears on a fly leaf an inscription in ltal-
ian, in Mr. Marsh's handwriting which
translated into English would read: TO

THE Caucus LAW. DEMOCRATS AND
OTHERS

The chief object Of q caucus law is TO
prevent the members Of one political
party from voting in the political primary
of an opposing party and from thus help
ing to force on that party an ohjeatonabl bile
candidate for the purpose OF promoting its
own chances Of success at the polls. 1t
was supposed that with the passage of the
present caucus law involving the princl-
pies of registration and check lists which
are funds mental in most modern caucus
systems. Il would be free from the evil
OF caucus packing by opposite parties
owing to tho apparent Willingness Of
some democrats to commit moral, if not
legal, perjury, II would seem that some
measure more effective than our present
alleged unjust caucus law would be neces-
sary to keep democrats out Of republican
caucuses, II is notorious fact that some
of the most rabd democrats in the CITY
participated in recent republican caucus
in this city and voted for a man for al
derman whom they openly boosted they
would defeat al the polls in the event of
his nomina ton.
1t is an equally or even more notorious
fact that several hundred democrats have
enrolled themselves as republicans in this
city and sworn to inventories containing
their certificate OF party registration for
the exrrsss purpose of taking part in the

THE LEUTENANT-GOVE

Much has been said during the State
campaign thus far about the advisabilty
Of having men in charge Of the various
departments Of our State government who
ARE possessed of sufficient business ability
to ensure the carrying out of thorough
business principles IN connection with the
affairs of our commonwealth and there
are many arguments which can be ad-
vanced in support of the pursuance OF
such a policy. There is every indication
that a man of the highest business qualifi-
lected for governor by the overwhelming
vote of the people, and there is every rea-
son why similar consideration should pre-
vail in connection with the choice Of a
candidate for the lieutenant governorship
| There are three candidates for the re-
publican nomination for the lieutenant
governorshi p, the Hon. George II. Prouty
Of Newport, the Hon. George f. Leland OF
Springfield and the Hon. John II. Merri-
field of Newfane. These are all we'll
known citizens of Vermont and each of
them has friends who would like to see
him chosen to preside over the Senate and
perform the other duties which devolVe
upon the Office of lieutenant governor. All
of these candidates are personal friends.
but when the interests Of the State are
concerned, personal friendship should take
a secondary place and that man selected
for office who will best carry out the pol
icy that will be most beneficial to the peo-
Ipe
If We are not in error. the coming two
years will constitute period Of quickened
development throughout Vermont. There
is a plain as well as growing demand that
policies be adopted that will increase our
prosperity through enlarged commerce and
that will make our State more what il
should he d resort for summer visitors and
things do not come of themselves as a
rule, and the different States are more
and more picking out officers who will
keep their respective commemorative in
full step in the march Of progress and de-
veiopment. The people are more and more
inclined to pick out men OF full vigor and
modern ideas who can keep up In the
strife for leadership among the different
States as regards the attracting of CAPT,
tai and men of enterprise and all that goes

gresslve State.
Judging from every indication Senator

We believe the Clement candidacy would
make an effective slnker for democracy In
this State, for many years to come, and
there are not a few republicans who
would enjoy seeing the democratic beast
