THE VERMONT PIICEXIX, BRATTLEJ30RO, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER, 27 1889. folic Ucrmont JJbccniv. BRATTI.RWlSO: FiilllAV, SKrTEMtlKR it, mi Tlii- New York Republicans mt In convention at Snralntn WsslfMwIay and nominated a clean and strong sts.te tit It ft, which Includes the iininm nf t.

The monument I the tallest ami most expensive on the liattle fieM. The Swedish immigration scheme ronies on with rapid jiaee, ami it appears to lie as gisal an settled that Windham county is ti have the first colony, to he located in Wil miiigUin. There in appropriateness in thi choice of a town, certainly, sinre the from Wilmington in the legislature of 1H)W as the author of the measure under which thi rolnnlration movement has leen net un foot. The result of the election for a new chamlier nf deputies In France last Sunday was a triutnih for the Heputilicans, and a corresponding defeat for the Boulangists and the monarchists, legitimists, revolutionists and other discordant elements hich group themselves tinder that head. Second elections will lie necessary in a large nuni-lr of districts, hut good working majority for the Republicans in the new chamlier is assured.

The existing regime In France has already enjoyed a longer lease of life than any other for a hundred years, and each election crisis safely passed hrings added hope of the stability and permanence of the Republic. The persons to whom Mr. Valentine refers as seeing "a political plot" in the pro-smal to bring some Sw eiles to Vermont, are doulitless certain Democrats of the Atkins stripe, who look askance at the Swedes because they are usually Hepuhlicans. The idea that there is any "plot" or "deep laid scheme" in this movement is 1st.1i, and the Democrats know it. The Swedes are not to blame liecause their intuitions lead them to the right side in politics If our Demo cratic friends know of a likely colony anywhere of their own jnlitiral faith, let them bring them on and they will be welcomed with equal cordiality.

The colonization movement isn't "litics," it's "business."

Hut our impression is that the Brattlelsiro gudgeons who bit at Sam Hale's hook are very few in number, and the silly fish, if there were any such, are keeping mighty still about it, you maj lie sure. As to western mortgages, we refer you to our advertising columns The only kind sold by HrattleWo dealers are those that have value received back of them the kind, in other words, that the state inspector says a goisl word for in his annual report.

The Farmers Iran and Trust company of Kansas, which seems to have lieen loaning money recklessly on farms and town prop erty in the western part nf that state, is in a bail way financially. Poor crops have distressed the formers, and the lm has dropied out of numerous towns which promised well on paper, leaving the deserted lotaandhuildingsou the hands of thecom-patiy. A committee of the Eastern stockholders has lieen apointed to see what can lie done alsiut it before the annual meeting Oct. 8. These facts give emphasis to the prudent and conservative words of State Insiiector Greene, in his annual report, alsiut the choice of agents and loan companies through which to make investments.

The last number of the Bristol Herald rame out with several editorial paragraphs and a somewhat lengthy communication which have the symptoms of a lioom for Hon. Carroll S. Page for governor. And now we are waiting to hear that Mr. Page has started out with a club to look for the editor of that paper.

It is an entirely proper thing for Mr. Page to aspire to be governor of Vermont he haa some excellent qualifications for that office, and there are reasons connected with the campaign of last year anil his competent service as state inswctor that his friends may urge forcibly in his liehalf, hut it would be the most fatal and foolish thing that we can think of for them to try to start an active canvass for him or any other candidate eight months ahead of time in an off year. Lamoille and Addison county people need have uo fear that Windham county people will favor a return to the promotion rule next year, but lieyond this they are not ready to commit themselves or express their preferences. Our Uu-riipieil l.nudH. On our fourth page today we print in full Commissioner Valentine's latest statement aliout unoccupied lands in Vermout, with additional facts given by him in the form of a Irsonal interview.

In these publications Mr. Valentine gives definite facts and details about these lamh, including location, quantities, and the names of resjronsible men of whom further information may I obtained. It will be of especial interest to our readers to note that a very considerable part of this information relates to lands in Wiudham county, some of them only a few mileM from Urattlelsiro. We think it is true that the commissioner's statements in this respect corresjiond very closely with information already ikwrckswI by our local residents whose business or olrservation has led them to take note of the condition of affairs. It is true that objection has lieen made to this plain statement aUmt abandoned or un occupied lands in Vermont, as likely to he injurious our iuterests but the objection seems to us to be not well taken.

It is a fact that such lands exist in the state in abundance, as they do in till the other Nw Kngland states and in New York. A large twrtion of them are not desirable for culti vatiou, and their best use is to leave them alone to grow up to woodland but there is another large iortioii capable of lieing con verted into fertile fields aud dotted with comfortable homes, ami the best thing that ver happened to the state was hen this fact ttegau to 1h advertised abroad iu this way, and attention began to be attracted to the state's possibilities. The good, more' over, is a twofold one. The tendency i not only to call iu people from outside, but to convince our own people that the state is worth living iu. On our owu lart, we hoie that all jKsi bte encouragement will le given Mr.

Valeu- tlne and Mr, Nordgren bring the Swedish colony to Windham county The nca.lioth of our fanners uud our villagers, with the Swedes who have found their way here has lieen satisfactory in all respects. Mr, Nordgren guarantees that the immi- granU shall 1k of good character, and that loans made to them, such as will be necessary to give them a start iu their new life, shall lie repaid in due time. The establishment of a colony of fifty families of this bort within our Umlers would mean an addition of just so much to tbs thrifty, substai tial, productive elemeut In our midst. The Mwrdea urr ('uiIuk Since the foregoing article was in type Mr. Valentine has stated to a Hurliugtou Free Press reporter that arrangements have Immhi complete! with Mr.

Nordgeu to establish two Swedish colonies iu Vermont, one of aliout twelve families near Wilmington, in this county, and one of thirteen families iu the vicinity of Westou in Windsor county, with the jtoskibility of a third colouy iu Orange uuuuty. No contract have been signed or detvl drrwu up, but its arrangements are eomplete wi far an word of mouth is omicerned, More farms haw beeu offered at $8 tu an acre thau wr viaMwl.

The Wilmington farms are located "in the northeastern and eastern part of the town, almost on a line with Marlboro. They are in a fair condition of cultivation, antl have buildings in a fair state of repairs." The Swedish families will number aliout five persons each, or alsiut 12.1 in all. They will take up about 1(H) acres to a family, thus disiosing of alsiut 2o00 acres of unoccupied lands to start with. "As much more land is offered than can be taken at this time, the ow tiers agree to give the newcomers choice of selection within certain limits, so the particular farms are not yet selected." Mr. Valentine eiiects to see the Swedish settlers here alsiut May 1st, IS! Ml.

The Free Press refers editorially to the good work already done under our new law in calling attention to Vermont's advantages for those who desire good homes at a small price. Every mail brings letters to the commissioner from native Vermontera living in other states, and from other New Englanders abroad, who wish to get back to New- England, anil who ask earnestly as to the conditions by which they can tlo so, and aliout the location and surroundings of the cheap farms of Vermont. The Free Press makes the excellent suggestion that especial means be taken to con vey to oltl New- Englanders who may wish to come back to the East some such inducements as are offered to the Svedes. "New-England desires first of all the return of her ow children. It is because they have turned their liacks uisin the old farms that the doors are opening to the children of another country.

Meanwhile lietter days for the Green Mountain state are at hand." We hope and lielieve so. Our Calcnge. Frirads. The "Sons of Vermont in Chicago" have issuetl a circular letter to the "Sons of Vermont in their native state," in which they urge in fervid terms the reasons why the World's Fair of 1802 should be held in the great and only metroisilis hich Christopher Columbus came all the way over the sea to discover. No other city has hotels so "numerous, magnificent aud comfortable her summers are "cool and invigorating;" her parks and lioulevards "are not only beautiful but grand in extent and design." People from abroad, who stop in the hamlet of New- York, "have simply entered a gateway" that "affords but a faint conception" of the magnificence of the domaiu lieyoud.

"Iet them come into its interior let them pause at Chicago, the centre of its commerce, agriculture and iwpulation. Let them see for themselves the fulfilment of this prophecy of Philip Freneau, made in 177.1 'I tke FrtfJinn's fHtahliMtinl rrliii. cities and mm, NunicrouH a winds upon the ixvan nuin; And mplrcH rixlntr her tut hud dfMvmU The Ohm hooii shall glide "if' a Umn of not; and where the MUhisKipjii, stream, Hy furvtstH shaded, uoh runs wee ping un, Nutiims hhall emw, and ntate iut lew in fame Than Greeoe and Koine of nld A world's expositiou, the circular coii- tinue, is a great educator; it should le Iwth "accessible'1 aud "centrally located." and ''this as taid by an eminent divine, might not mean Chicago, but it means the West, and the West means Chicago," This in I mi tli modest and eloquent, and it ought Ui conclusive. Our advice to the New Yorkers is to go alwut their usual business and waste no more time discussing a world's fair site, or how they shall get the rest of the country to raise the money hich such a fair would cost.

Foster of Putney, aud Mr. Mansfield of Ihimmerston a committee to go to Montpelier on Wednesday to attend a delegate conference of all the county lioards with reference to securing uniformity in text liooks throughout the state. The law provides for county uniformity only, hut it was the suggestion of the Washington county lioard that by mutual agreement of the lioards state uniformity might be secured. About MO delegates from the county lioards attended the meeting on Wednesday. Resolutions were adopted favoring uniformity in text books so far as it does not interfere with vjiecial needs.

The latter is a sister of Mlsi S. V. Converse, teacher of elocution in our pulilic schools, and was heraelf for five years a tnemlier of the corps of teachers at Vermont academy. The Home mission work was represented by Mrs. C.

1'oat, state vire president or director (who also presided during the eve ning), and liy Miss Mary ('. Heyuolda nf Wailingford, who is the corresjiond-ing secretary of the woman's aucieties of the Kjt. The rejurts of the state oilicers, Miss Urigham and Mrs. l'ost, were preseut-eil, Iwth giving very encouraging views of the work. Mrs.

Tost said that within three years the ladiesrontriliutions had increased 00 per cent, aud the number of liarrels of clothing sent during the past year liy one association (or county) was larger than from the whole state three years ago. Windham county leads off this year with the largest gifts of any association but of course we are not surprised at tliat, or at any other gol thing from Urattlelioro or "OKI Wind ham." The address by Miss Kidder was ex ceedingly interesting, coming as it did from one who has had 14 years' exierience in the field and whosieaks from actual knowledge. Braking of the needs of the Held, the said that there was actually only one missionary, on au average, to every inhabitants. She urged veiy strongly the sustaining of a boys' school, with a view Ui raising up an educated native ministry. Miss Converse spoke very briefly of the honor which she felt in being permitted to go to Jaau Ui lalsir in the Master's service.

Mrs. Reynolds made a very enlightening, instructive and pleasant address on her "impressions from a ten-weeks' tour through the schools among the Indians." There is great need nf Christian educatiou among the Indians, the colored ieople (formerly slaves of the Indians), and the whites in the Indian territory, and the Woman's ltoard are sustaining as liest and as far as they can teachers there.

Mr Herring of Ilraudon hail more ewcial reference to the new movement among churches, assoiatioiis, colleges, aclusils, and even individuals, to sustain certain or (particular missionaries, lielieving that such organizations would feel a much closer anil deeer interest in the work by such connection, ami that this should and could Iw done, not as a substitute for, but in ad Jitiou to, what is now lwing done. Itev. Mr.

Martin of Iienning-ton spoke a few words of iiarting, well wishing and assurance of abiding interest to the ladies who soon sail for Jan, prefacing them with the remark that he alwaj felt it "an honor Ut look into the face of a Chris tiau worker," aud riming with the motto, "Courage 1 Christ is with you." ltKrr.lu..

The annual sermon, hy Kev Mr Crocker of Fairfax, from the text, "Come after me, and 1 will make you to lteconie fishers of men." Hy as much as a man is of more value than a fish, by the worth of man as measured by the ransom given for his redemption, were those fishermen pro noted in leaving nets to lcnme Ushers of men.

A startling fact stated was, that of 1 1 4 Haptist churche. iu Vermont, CO tw ith a membership of not a contert during tlie ear 18MM. and the (WOO uieui bers could only report 4tX souls gathered iu a the result of their combined eflorta for a twelvemonth. Among the iualificatious for a successful soul winner or fisherman were mentioned indifference to physical discomforts, sturdy patience, smerof olmer-ation, and skilful adaptation of the means Ui the end. If he would caU-h fish, he must go here the fish are not ex't the fish Ux-ome Ui him.

"You can't caU-h trout with a cod line, nor mackerel with a Hy Tlie analogy Iwtween the fisherman and the soul winner was closely followed throughout the hole diM-ourse, The treasurer's report showed disburse menu during the fiscal ear iu supporting stale missionary, aiding feeble churches, and other expenses, $41(M; and the receipts have I we such tliat there is a small balance in the treasury.

Mr. Parry called at tention Ui the notice that "dinner will lie served at the armory, and if you wish it hot go promptly," adding that "if )ou wish the waiters hot, keep them waiting for half an hour Il is needless to say that an adjournment was had at once.

A loug pro cession wended its way to the spacijus ar mory, aud there found ample accommodations for all Ui sit down at the same time, and lots of room to spare, although there were proliably to served. At the afternoon session Kev. H. H. Arch ibald, for many ears its secretary, preseut ed the rejsjrt of the board of managers for the iast year, which we summarize briefly Twenty three churches aided to the amount of 2HJ0; from seven of them 24 baptisms are retried, but there haa lieen a net loss of 29 in the membership of the whole num-lier during the year.

These churches have contributed for the benevolent work of the denomination nearly or 4.1 rent of the amount received from the convention. A uew- church has lieeu formed at Harre, Ui be isutored from Montlicr. The church iu Hich ford, for years a Imueficiary, pro poses in future Ui pay its own excuses. A iwsuest uf l.VHI was made by the late She) don Smith, which will msiu lie received, The rejsjrt of State Missionary Mac( lenrge was a very interesting one, giving au ac count of his visits Ui am) lalsirs with the weaker churches of the state. Kev.

C. II. Spauldiug of HoaUm made au enthusiastic and inspiring address, commendable alike for its matter, manner aud brevity, upon Haptist Sunday school extension. A very pleasant and, we. understand, a uew feature, was the welcoming by the president of the pailors who have entered the state during the jear.

The address of Mr. Heese was most happy, uud the six or eight men who occupied the platform cer tainly hail the apjiearauce of solidity, good health aud marked Bujieriority. t'ol Fuller, in an audress of 10 minutes or so, outlined the history of Vermont aead einy since iu founding, and very neatly in troduced Principal Williams, the successor of Prof. Willard, who, iu well choseu words, expressed his gratification that he was at the head of au institution of learning holly Christiau iu its design and management. He "did not wish Ui sharieu Usils for the devil to work with," but throw such influences around the pupils while there as would not only inspire to a high standard of iutellec tual acquirement, but to Chris tian development as well.

At this session a resolution "advising the lioard of managers to employ a second state missionary or evangelist was presented, and, pending future discussion, was tabled, iu order that adjournment might Iw had after hours of hard work. Verily these Hap tists ere here for business, not sentiment Three i.ed Address, aa Wrdar.ilai The evening session was one of general public interest, and au audience gathered which filled every seat in the liody of the church, with au overflow into the galleries. The distinguished sjwakers from abroad were felicitously introduced by Kev. C. A.

Keese, the president. The veteran Dr. Ashuiore sxke with buuudless force and enthusiasm of the for eign mission work in hich he has lieeu eu gaged for years. The first missionary meeting, he said, was held in heaven when the three persons of the trinity talked of how mankind should be saved. The promise of the Lord is that the ends of the earth shall lie His.

We who have not seen them have no conception of the tremendous mul titudes of dying men in heathen lands. The sieaker graphically descrilatd the scene witnessed ith his owu eyes in India, wbeu 300,000 people were gathered in one place to wash iu the Gauges as a religiuus rite. In China, where his own work has been, the heathen multitude is eveu greater iu numlier. Much has beeu done for their evangelization the one church at Swatow has 11(H) members but it still remains for the church Ui enter iu aud accept the Lord's promise iu all its fullness. It is the privi lege of Clirlst's wop1 Ui belli Kim in Ills work.

The addrew rinsed with a fervent. Inspiring apieal for help in the missionary field. Dr. Kdward Judson uf New York, whose genial face it was gil Ui many iu the audience to see again, was the next speaker. He said he had "oine Ui the convention with a certain reluctance there were circumstances which made it hard for him Ui leave home but he hail been more than repaid by the spiritual uplift he had exierieuced in meeting with the Vermont brethren, and by the entirely unexpected gifts which he had received for his mission I Hiring the afternoon, as he sat ou the plat form, one of Ilrattleboro't princely givers hail pressed a piece of paper inUj his hand, which proved to lie a check for JfllM.

It was not iermitted him Ui rail any names, and lie could only say that "his heart was Full er of joy thau he could express." I jiter, at his hotel, he was summoned Ui the parlor Ui see a lady, who placed at his dissal a large house surrounded by many acres of land, Ui lie use. I in "fresh air" work for the children of his New York mission. Dr. Judsou then mode a strong and common-sense plea for city evangelitatiou. Not all the heathen are in foreign lands, as those acquainted with certain quarters nf our great cities well know.

It is time that the old idea that anyone will do for a mission church is done away with; the minister with the largest brain and heart should find his work where the darkness is deepest and the need greatest. Sometimes his heart al most failed him when he thought of the thousands of atheistic foreigners jiouriug into our country every year but then he remembered the children and Uwk courage They, at least, might lie educated and Chris tianized. He would have day uurseries, where hard-worked mothers might leave the little ones between the ages of oue and three kindergartens for those from three Uj seven primaries for those from seven Uinine. Then they will tie able Uj enter the public schools fortified by the gosjiel Ui resist the skepticism they will surely meet there. Kev.

Dr. Peddie of Philadelphia was the last and his subject was "The law of possession." This was treated un der two heads, 1, That alone is ours which we can truly enjoy and make use of. 3d, That alone is ours which we are uble and willing make over for Die use and enjoyment of oth ers. What we possess under these two conditions is truly ours, and ours forever even death cannot rob us of it, Ufause this law finds its most ierfect fulfilment in the life hich is to come. The address was an able oue, ami well illustrat ed by apt anecdotes draw from the ieak er's pastoral experience.

Tkanaai'i Nrs.Ua.. After the addresses of last evening, ev erything seems U) the olmerver rather com moiiplaee but the real work of the con vention is not completed by any meaus, iu fact, but just lieguu. Tlie public hoard meeting exhibit the working of the exeru tive board in their three or four gatherings during the year, ami thereby relieves them of any tendency of Ins-nmiiig a "star chain lier" in their character The interests uf the feebler churches are discussed, their needs and wants mule known, and money grants from tfa Ui 2I0 granted or referred Ui a smaller executive committee of the Iswnl lu the afternoon the different lie uevolent societies were represented, and their work exhibited through committees chosen or apisjiuted the jear liefore.

The general temper of the con vention has leu optimistic, and.
