Was it the formidable appearance of the young State Democracy at Rutland last week that seared the Rutland Republicans into speedv organization? Kg In view of the remarkable quiet which has prevailed concerning the choice of a lieutenant governor, there will be a great deal of interest in the working of the machiue wnieh will grind out a candidate at the Rerublican State convention.

York Republican leaders have decided, after a long conference, that they will not attempt to amend the Raines liquor law. With all its faults they fear to open the question for fear that the entire legislative scheme would be destroyed, as it surely would be if the people could get at it. The Prohibitionists are to hold their State convention in Montpelier May 7. The city will welcome them with open arms, and we take this occasion to congratulate the party on its excellent choice of a meeting place. A place purified by the efforts of so zealous a State's attorney as Zed S.

Stanton is just the place for a Prohibition convention. g6g" Since "Teddy" Roosevelt has looked more after New York's morality and Sabbath manners than the lives and property of her people the record of robbery, burglary and general crime has swollen in au appalling manner. The voters of the metropolis will effectually suppress "Teddy" in the very near fu ture. Jgg-It is with some regret that we learn that the Free Press could not get into the Democratic boat without taking a Republican plank as a matter of safety, even in the support of Col. B.

B. Smalley, whom it admires so much. But we are not looking for any Jonahs so (he Free Press can not come on board with life preservers aud various other things. Our paths must continue to lie apart. 8" Adjutant General T.

S. Peck was the guest of honor at a dinner given in Washington, D. last Thu'fStlavnight by Myron M. Parker. As the offiiiaH representative of the army and navy forces of Vermont, member of numerous ancient and honorable societies and major domo iu general aud ex officio of the commonwealth, we trust the general wore all the gold lace and other trimmings the occasion would allow, and maintained the traditions of h's office and the dignity of a representative of the State.

Those who are disposed to look with favor on the free silver schemes would do well to bear in mind that Senator Tillmau, ardent and able supporter of the cause as he is, admits that the effect of the free coinage of silver would be a panic. He agrees entirely on that point with the gold bugs, but he goes further aud claims that the country would be better off after the pauic. Does any one really and soberly desire to make the experiment of inviting a business pauic for the sake of the remote prospect that after the pauic, and after thousands of men have been ruined, and thousands of others have suffered through their ruiu. we may have better times? is sound advice which Col. B.

B. Smalley gives the Democrats make the strongest possible fight agaiust the silver movement in the convention, do everything possible to win, go to the convention, as you go into the pre-con-vention work, with the determination to win. But if the free silver men should win, which is by no means to be regarded as certain, do not bolt. To bolt would simply be to leave the party organization in their hands to do what they might please after the defeat which would overtake them. To stay iu the party would be to retain an opportunity to take the managemeut again when these wm aX)Q-J VMS filtntt 1 1" 8 setts, gives out a signed statement in which be anuonnces that he is not desirous of being a presidential candidate aud does not wish any movemeut made iu his interest in any State.

He considers, other matters at present of greater importance than the selection of a candidate, aud has this to say The important thing now is to make every effort to have the Democratic party take an absolutely sound position on tbe money question, without evusiou or compromise. 1 believe this is ol vital consequence to tbe party for ils present und its future. I am firmly of the opinion, as I have recently sulci, that our national platform ought explicitly and emphatically to oppose the free coinage oi silver or its compulsory purchase, or any compromise legislation in that direction, and that it ought to endorse and commend the administration of President Cleveland for its resolute work in maintaining our present gold standard and preserving tbe credit of the nation. I tbink it would be neither right nor wise to attempt to avoid or straddle this question by any ambiguous or meaningless declaration. The time has passed for that.

Massachusetts Democrats have brought forth W. E. Kussell as their candidate for the Presidency. They have named au able, ready, souud, vigorous and popular young man, whose record has beeu a matter of pride to all Democrats, and they have endorsed his own sentimeuts, recently expressed at the Jeffersou banquet, by adopting the following financial plank Believing that the true interests of tbe people require that the earnings of trade and the wages of labor be paid in money that is intrinsically worth, in all markets of the world, what It purports to be worth, we demand the maintenance ot the existing gold standard of value at all times redeemable and payable iugold; and we oppose the free coinage of silver and any turther purchases of silver bullion or tbe coinage thereof on government account. The Democratic party will not lack for good candidates when it has men who cau stand on such a plank as that.

We presume the libel suit of Gov, Woodbury, whereby he seeks to recover 60,000 damages from the Rutland Her- nlll. or fallinor a rumsnllar in Burlington before mstices of the Supreme court. JfrT Tuesiu-r-T uu announcement nas ide that the suit had been discon tinued or postponed. We hope this proceeding will uot be so ich iu the nature of a farce as some others in which the prohibitory law was concerned have been. A large amount of testimony has been taken on both sides, and the hearing promises to be interesting.

The entire prohibitory law is on trial, and whatever may be the result of this case it is likely to suffer seriously from this and other foolish aflairs into which it has been dragged. The working of machiue politics, which happens to be the brand by which Vermont is governed, are so well set forth iu the following statement of the Clipper that we reproduce it for our readers: The aim is to have the question ol a choice Vlitiialiy- settled before tbe conventions assembles. Before tbe people have begun to take an earnest interest in the mat ers. hem on- inn gathering ot men there lo uT- I Ami whim i men vniiuuB sections. vicvuifu comes "Sc.fi." this is uiorelarie 'l Tr, 'n- general Intcre," lif 1 lhapsa more he Deotile in ihi- awakened among STl the strug-flossLiJ I'-'t'colarly lrue when, as id Al "'e rate McKinley delegates ian week it is not very likely that the Vermont Republican convention will declare in favor of Heed and instruct the delegates in tbe national convention to vote for bis nomination.

Neither is it likely that Reed will get any large number of votes. McKinley is invading the Reed strongholds and capturing delegates that were supposed to be solid for the New England man, and promises to nave enough votes to nominate him. So far as the nomination of McKinley would mean a pUin Bquare fight on the tariff, we would be glad to i.uuers nave arranged matt led upon the delegates and pledged tl for the leader they have settled upon.

lo Congress because the comptroller of the treasury questioned the legality of the appropriation will be interested to know that the comptroller has again proved himself a bigger man than the government- Congress responded to President Cleveland's Venezuelan message by voting an appropriation of 8100,000 to defray the expenses of the commission to be appointed. Comptroller Bowler has decided that none of that money can be used to pay for the rent of the rooms occupied by the commission and it has become necessary to insert an item in the general deficiency bill now under consideration, making a portion of the appropriation available for that purpose. It has njt yet appeared that the comptroller has any absurd ideas of his own importance, but he is impressed with the responsibilities of his office, and though his decisions have caused some inconvenience in some cases it is better that the office should be filled by a man determined to do his duty than by one who would approve without question every claim which might be presented to him. Jgg- The Governor of Vermont has again named a day to be observed as Arbor day and an official proclamation gives the announcement to the world. The Governor shows an appreciation of thetSct-tfettthe day is neglected, so he calls for no geirefa! observance of the occasion, but merely'iecommends that upon that day "the publid-chools have a half holiday to afford teachers -and pupils an opportunity appropriately to beautify the school grounds." The siguificauSS.f the day is but little if its observance to be restricted to scholars and teachers, aud they are only to beautify the grouuds about the school houses.

It would have been of no use for the Governor to have recommended a more general observance of the day. The recommendation would not have been heeded Arbor day, which might be one of the most interesting and valuable holidays of the entire year, and a profitable occasion as well, has never been observed as it should be. Holidays are generally falliug into disuse, but Arbor day, a comparatively new occasion, has never been much observed. People lack information concerning what may be accomplished by carrying out the ideas of the founder of Arbor day. What might be done on that day is well set forth in the proclamation of Gov.

Wolcott, of Massachusetts, as follows 1 am deeply impressed with the benefits which would result from a general and zealous observance ol the day. Waste tracts, tle-nuded by Are or by the improvidence of man, may be reclotlied with verdure. Houses uiav be draped in vines and adorned with flowers and shrubs. rue waysnle may be freed from unsightly signs antl made beautiful. Insect pesis may be destroyed.

The canopied shade ot eltus and the autumnal pi end or of maples constitute the Klory or many of our towns. These we owe to tUe generous foresight of our lathers. On tbe country road and on the city street let us make equally liberal provision for those who shall follow us. So with each passing generation will the commonwealth we love grow in beauty and charm, not less than In virtue and enlightenment, and may He who givetu the increase prosper the work in our hands. There is au opportunity for some educational work io this matter.

There are great possibilities iu a proper observ- ou resolutions in the recent Ohio Re publican convention comes before the public with a construction of the financial plank which he says places McKinley squarely before the country as a souud money man. That plank demands a currency which shall be "as sound as the government aud as untarnished as its honor." That is one of McKinley's phrases, aud was adopted by the framers of the platform. Standing alone that would bear out the contention of Congressman Taylor that a sound money plauk wis adopted. But it does not stand alone. The platform favors bimetalism, which might be sound.

Then it declares that if bimetalism cannot be secured by international agreement the Republicans of Ohio waut the coinage of the two metals maintained by legislation. If that means auything it means free coinage. They would not try to bring about the passage of another silver purchase law, after the disastrous experience the country has had with one such law originating in the brain of the senior Senator from Ohio. That platform was approved, if it was not written, by McKinley. Something more than that is needed to justify calling him a sound money man.

There is nothing to be found in his record. He voted for the passage of a free coinage bill iu 1877 aud the next year he voted to pass the Bland-Allison limited coinage bill over the veto of President. In 1888 he was chairman the Committee on Resolutions at tirtniil which renoi'teJaW IJa' favorino- the use of both ffolMP1 P'-mk silver as in' 'in ii 1 1 ii i ii. ii ii r-rtio for its Deil0 silver. In 1890 hejT'1 t0 demonetize of the Shiiiiaw passage nver purchase bill, and supported that bill in a speech in which he defended it as the nearest approach to free coinage possible at that time.

That is his official record. It is the record of persistent and continuous dalliance with free coinage heresies. S- There was a gratifying uuauim ity of sentiment at the Democratic gath enng at Rutland last Thursday in favor ot sound money, aud that sentiment was voiced, in emphatic terms. There was no questioning aud no dissenting, the meeting was a unit on that point. Ver mont Democrats are few in numbers aud have little hope of success in the can-tests they wage year after year, but they are held together by their allegiance to principle, and are not to be led astray by delusive hopes and false prophets.

The generally expressed sentiment was that the selection of a presidential candidate was of minor importance, but that it was essential that the platform should be firmly in favor of sound money. The positive affirmation which will be given out by the State convention cannot fail to encourage Democrats iu other States, and to make its influence felt. The enthusiasm at the meeting was as gratifyiug as the soundness of sentiment. There was no discouragement manifest, but a determination to go Into the struggle this year as earnest ly aud vigorously as ever, aud make an even stronger fight, if possible. The most important action was the forma tion of a Young Men's Democratic club.

This is expected to make itself felt in many ways before the campaign is over, aud its work will not cease then. The young men of the Democratic party have uo political interests, policies or purposes different from those who have had the management of the party affairs, aud the new club will work in co-operation with the previously existing organization. I will not have to be pla cated, bullied or bribed. It will supple ment the work of the State committee. take up new lines of its own and carry the work in years when no election is pending.

No such organization is need to secure recognition for the voung men of the Democratic party, but it may be effectual In interesting the younger men to a more active participation in party affairs.
