Bills have recently been sent to all Phirnlx sub scribers whose accounts are In arrears for more than one year, As n rule the response has been prompt, and the attention lias been duly appre ciated. We wish to remind those who have over looked their bills, or have failed to remit, that even In dull times money Is necessary to conduct a newspaper business. The I'lioonlx gives every subscriber value received for his money, and in return It nsks for prompt settlement of bills rendered. rates upon articles Imported since August 1. But In the opinion of the New York Sun, a by no means friendly critic It would undoubtedly be held that the date prescribes an impossibility, and that the phrase "on and after the first day of August, 1804," rncrely requires that the new schedules shall go Into operation as soon as the bill Is enacted. VERMONT MILITIAMEN The New York Herald's characteriza tion: "Under compulsion of the darkest and foulest conspiracy In the annals of any na tion the House of Representatives has passed the Senate tariff bill." It Is charged by the Republicans and fustonists that stupendous ballot-box frauds, such as have rarely been equaled, even In the South, were perpetrated by the Democrats in the recent Alabama election, and that the state was carried for their ticket by this means alone. Hundreds of prairie schooners line the roads from western Nebraska toward the Mississippi river. They contain farmers and their families who have been ruined and driven out by the drouth, and whose one desire Is to reach some point cast of the Mississippi to spend the winter. The $50,000 raised last Sunday at the Christian Alliance camp meeting at Old Orchard, the $25,000 gift Saturday of Mrs. Geo. Wilcox of Brooklyn for a chapel at Mt. Hermon, Mass., and the $40,000 raised for various purposes during the August conference meetings at Northfield, Mass., make a pretty good hot weather record In the way of gifts to worthy causes. The Fitchburg railroad transferred Its train service last Sunday to the immense new Union station on Causeway street oc cupied by it and the Boston & Maine sys tem. It is the largest railroad station un der one roof in the country, and a larger number of trains arrive and depart from it daily than from any other terminal station In the United States. The Western Corn Crop. A generous rain fell last Sunday over a wide area In the West, Including a large part of Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. South ern, central and northwestern Minnesota also got a good drenching. It was the first rain of any amount which had fallen In some of these sections for three months. Insome cases It came In season to greatly benefit the corn crop, but In many others the crop was past saving. In more than half of Iowa the crop Is beyond help. The government crop report, issued at the end of last week, confirms the worst that has been said as to the prospect for western corn. The general condition of the crop is placed at 00.1 about the lowest on record against a condition of 0.1 only a month ago. Iowa, the chief corn produc ing state, reports a cocdltlon of 45. Its total crop for this year Is placed at only 150,000,000 bushels, against 350,000,000 in the best year the state ever saw. Nebras ka, which usually slands near the head of the list, reports the astonishingly low figure of Hi! and South Dakota 21). In western Kansas two-thirds of the crop is a total fail ure. Every day adds to the distress from drouth in Nebraska. In Ohio -corn is shriveling from the drouth and on the uplands Is a total fail ure. Elsewhere half a crop may be se cured with favorable weather from now on. Even trees are dying, and wells and springs are drying up. Pastures are dead, and farmers are feeding their cattle. The potato crop is ruined in many parts of the state.

The old camp ground of the days of '01- 05, on which the Vermont troops were mustered into the service before going to the front and where they received their honorable discharge after fighting the good fight for the preservation of the nation the ground where hundreds torn by shot and shell of war or racked by disease con tracted In the service were tenderly cared for has pulsated anew the past week as the rendezvous of the National Guard of crmont assembled for the annual en campment. Camp Governor Holbrook has witnessed in the muster which ends to-morrow morn ing, one of the most orderly and successful When the House bills putting sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire on the free list came up in the Senate Wednesday a letter from Secretary Carlisle was read say ing it would not be safe to make these arti cles freo because the treasury needs the revenue from them. An effort was made to have the bills acted on at once, but they wcro sent to the finance committee where they will be quietly shelved and smothered. It has been estimated by the treasury de partment that the Senate's tariff would yield a revenue slightly above $1,000,000 in customs duties. The Morrill tariff yielded during the 10 years following the war period an annual revenue of $178,000,- 000 In customs duties. The McKlnley tar iff has been slightly more prolific of reve nue, yielding In customs duties $210,8n5, 701 in 1801, $174,1L'4,270 in 1802 and $100, 143,078 in ISO;!. This is the opinion of the independent and conservative Philadelphia Ledger of the hodge-podge tariff bill which the House of Representatives swallowed at a gulp Monday afternoon: "Of all tho blunders which the Democrats in Congress have committed the Wilson-Gorman tariff-Income-tax bill is the worst, and they will pay at every poll in November next the penalty of their blundering, of their reck less disregard of the welfare of the people." On the 4th of September Vermont Repub licans will give them a taste of what Is to come. Sorrowful Itepnlillcniis. The Caledonia county Republicans arc in the same boat with the Windham coun ty Democrats. The filing of their nomin ations on Monday of last week was of no avail, the 30-days' limit having expired on Saturday night, the 4th Inst. This is the decision of Secretary of State Brownell, who holds that the day of election cannot be. counted in the 30 days. The Republi cans will do their best to have names enough written in to save the election of their candidates, and will probably succeed. It was thought at first that paster ballots could be used for each voter to stick on the official ballot, but the conclusion of the lawyers is that the only resource is to write in the names. And this is what the Wind ham county Democrats will have to do. The Kind of lllll It Ii. Now what kind of a bill is it which the Democratic Congress has passed? It is a measure stamped with "party perfidy and party dishonor." It is "not in accord with Democratic principles or promises" and does not "bear a genuine Democratic badge." It Involves "outrageous discrim inations and violations of principle." It carries with It the "inconsistent absurdity" of putting the wool of the farmer on the free list, while It protects "the iron ore and coal of corporations and capitalists." It is "violative of Democratic principle and Democratic good faith." Aro these epi thets ours? Not at all. These are the terms which the President of tho United States, tho head of the party engaged in the passage of this bill, has employed to describe It and this only one short month ago.

DUNTON & FARR, Proprietors. John E. Searles, the treasurer of the sugar trust, sent a letter to Chairman Wil son Tuesday correcting his statement in tho Democratic caucus about the importation and holdings of raw sugar by the trust. Mr. Wilson said the amount, In value, was $112,000,000, but Mr. Searles says the total sugar stock In sight in the commer cial world on the Oth of August was only 1,112,003 tons worth $20,000,000; of this the trust held not exceeding 200,000 tons, worth $12,000,000 Instead of $112,000,000. As soon as the determination of the House to pass tho Senate tariff bill became known Mr. Cleveland wrote a "personal and sympathetic" letter to Mr. Wilson urging him not to bo cast down, but to take care of himself and regain his health so as to continue the fight and provo that the Democratic party is tho party of tariff reform. Mr. Cleveland had himself "be gun to doubt this," but "had not allowed himself to entertain tho thought," ele., etc. Is It posslblo that the President really takes himself seriously when he writes In this strain? The Sugiir Trnit'a Money. (From the Boston Record.) The worst thing about this tariff bill Is not the question of tue detail ot any sclied ule or the amount of any duty levied on any particular article. It rests on tho be lief, now current in this country, that leg' Islatlon can be secured In Washington by the use of corrupt means. It is a charge never seriously believed until this time. It does more to discredit tho country at home and abroad than all the Debs strikes that could be Inaugurated. It is a more death ly blow at the vital spot in our Institutions than the southern secession. It requires prompt and sharp condemnation. It ought to receive, as a matter of course, a presl dential veto. Whether It does or not, tho expression of the peoplo at tho polls In November will be accepted as their opln ion. The House passed tho Wilson bill Feb ruary 1, 1804. Tho Senato passed its re vision of the measure July 3. It then went to a conference committee where it remained until tho action of tho House last Monday. Tho hill Is so worded as to take effect August 1, thirteen days before Its final passage, and the point has been raised that this makes tho bill unconstitutional. Such would be the caso If there was an at tempt to levy and collect duties at the new The War Jovernor. From the Northfield News. Camp Governor Holbrook is the fitting name of the annual encampment of the Vermont National Guard at Brattleboro this week. Few of the old war governors aro still living and among them nono more worthy and honored than ex-uov. Hoi brook, who is passing his declining years in peace, prosperity and happiness in his beautiful Brattleboro home, with unabated interest in local and national affairs. All honor to the patriotic and only surviving war governor ot Vermont. I. i t Vermont Ite pnullcam Fulfill Tliel Obligation), From thejst. Albans Messenger. Fortunate In the candidates selected to lead them, fortunate In tho principles they espouse, and fortunate in their opportunity to protest against democratic incomnet ency in tho nation, let tho Republicans of Vermont realize their obligations to tho great party In whose achievements they have borno so creditable a part, and fulfill those obligations to tho utmost.

CAMP gatherings In the history of tlip brigade. le location of the camp could hardly be urpassed, the weather has been perfect, good order has been maintained, the drills have shown that In the armories scattered through the state painstaking work has been done by officers and men during the past year. From day to day improvement has been noticed In the appearance of the troops. Hard, conscientious work has been done, but there has also been time for enjoyment, and tho social gatherings in the village have been a notable feature. The Phii-nlx representatives tell the story of tbc week in detail. The Camp Arrangement. The camp presented an attractive ap pearance as one entered the grounds from South Canal street nearC. E. Albn's. At the left were the regimental quarters. Above each couipany street was a large ign with the name of the company. In the rear of the officers' quarters were the tents for culinary and mess purposes. Across the held from the company streets were the guard and hospital quarters. The tents for brigade headquarters were pitched to the west of, the regimental quarters, and to the southeast of the grove. Ueyond the brigade headquarters were the tents of the United States regulars. the view from the grounds is an Inspir ing one, Wantastiquet looming up to the north and east in picturesque beauty. Everything about the tented city of white was clean and In good order. At night the company streets were brightly lighted, several of them In red, white and blue. The Estey Guard street was particularly brilliant with its electric lights, and colored incandescents making the letters K-G in front of the street. The Sniidiiy Services. The Estey Guard held a full dress in spection Sunday morning at 0 o'clock, Lileut.-Col. Uoiul being tne inspecting of ficer. After the Inspection the company marched In a body to the Congregational church. Officers of tho brlKade and reel- ment also attended and with the company occupied seats in the centre of the house. The usual service of tho church was used. with the exception that Mrs. Lavin sang a solo in place of the closing hymn. Lucien Howe presided at the organ. The sermon was by Iter. J. F. Loverlng, D. D., of Worcester, Mass., past chaplaln- in-chlef of the Grand Army, ills subject was "Our national nag ' and his text Psalms l.x, 4, "Thou hast given a banner to them that tear nice, that it. may be diS' played because of tho truth." It was an elo quent address, full of loyalty and patriot ism, lie expressed the shamo he felt that It had been reserved for a newspaper of iioston to refer to the old Hag as a "mere textile fabric of three colors sewn together as to form a predetermined combination." He referred to the work of tho Vermonters In the Rebellion, both as officers and pri vates and urged upon the men of the younger generation the duty of loyalty to the camp. The sermon closed with a brief but earnest appeal for loyalty In the ser vice of Christ. The Opening of Cnmp nml Arrival of the Troops. Kinsman, and that of Thursday by Licut. Col. Bond. An Expert's Opinion of the Sf niiillne of the Companies. The PIkchIx Is fortunate In bclnc ablo to present below tho opinion of an officer not connected with the regiment as to tho relative work of the battalion. Notes were made on tho work at dress parade and at drill, and from these are taken tho points given below. Tho rank nf com panies taken in this way docs not always correspond to tho work In active competi tion, when every man Is on tho qui vlve, but it surely gives an Idea of the companies that are doing hard and faithful work. 'ihe work of the third battalion is supe rior to that of the first and second. Com panies E, M and I seem to bo well In the lead, and there Is no doubt but that tho official report will confirm this opinion. Altlie dress parades Tuesday Comnanles B, A, K, G, M and I did remarkably well, and the parade as a whole was a great im provement over that of Monday night. Tho Improvement was still marked Wed nesday and the work was more nearly of uniform degree of excellence, althouch Companies B, G, L, C, A, M and E were ranked first. On ceneral appearance and sct-un Com panies E, M, II, F, I and K are noted as being worthy of special mention. Companies I. M. E. II and K did aimar- ently the most conscientious work at drill Wednesday morning. in the manual Companies I. E. M. F. H and L showed their superiority to the oth er companies of tho regiment. l dress parade last evening the im provement was very marked, the work of the third battalion being of a hich order. Companies I, E, II, C, K and B were es pecially noticeable on account of their ap pearance as they passed in review. The Governor's Arrival. ABSOLUTELY PURE The .Estey Guard went into camp last Friday morning, and spent that day and Saturday in making camp for tho regiment Company F of tho 21st U. S. Infantry arrived on tho 2:55 train Saturday after noon. They were met at the station by Cant. Harry JSstey ot ucn. JSstey's staff, who escorted them to camp to music by the Sturges drum corps. Fuller Jiattary assembled at tno armory at 7 o'clock Monday morning, and marched to camp. .Brigade and regimental head quarters were established early In the day. The 1st Regiment marched into camp soon after 1 o'clock, having arrived on a special train in two sections, via Central Vermont and Boston & Maine railroads. At the railroad station the regiment was met by tho First Keglment band and Lleut.-Lol Bond, who assumed command. Upon arrival in camp the commands were ordered to quarters until dinner, which was served as soon as possible, Tho first guard mount was at 5 r. m., and was followed uy regimental dress paradi before col. Kinsman, The regular routino was begun on TucS' day morning, when the "I cau't Ret them up, I can't Ket them up, I can't Ret them up In the inornlnR." of the reveille sounded at 5:50, The guard mount at 8:15 was a great improvement over that of tho previous evening. The first battalion drill was at 0:30, and at 2 :30 tho afternoon drill was called. Reel mental dress parado was reviewed by Jjlcut.-coi. uoiul. rue routine of wedncs day and Thursday was tho samo as that of Tuesday, witn these exception?: un ac count of the rain, Instead of afternoon battalion drill, Wednesday, each company was drilled in Its company street. Tho afternoon drill, Thursday, was given up to tho extended order drill. A largo crowd watched tho skirmishers as they obeyed the bugle orders to advance, retreat, kneel, He down, rise, charge, etc. The dress parade Wednesday was reviewed by Col. The Ofllcers Wlin Accompanied Speech by the Vermont Wnr Caovemor. Governor Fuller established his head quarters at Camp Governor Holbrook Wednesday afternoon. Sopn after 2 i clock the gubcrnational party left Pino Heights In carriages for the camp, the 1st Regiment under command of Col. Kinsman acting as escort. As the Gov ernor's carriage drove upon the parade a salute was fired by the Battery and the gov ernor's flag was raised in front of his head quarters. Governor Fuller was accom panlei by ex-Governor Holbrook as guest of honor and the following members of his staff: Brig. Gen. W. H. Gilmore, Fairlee; Brig. Gen. F. E. Alfred, New port; Brig. Gen. D. P. Webster, Brattle boro; Col. E. W. Jewett, S wanton; Col. E. Pollard, Chester; Col, J. (i. Foster, Derby Line; Col. E. L, Bates, Bcnninc- ton; Col. G. S. Dowley, Brattleboro, and Capt. II. E. Tutherly, 1st U. S. Cavalry, on duty with the Vermont National Guard by war department orders. Lieut. Keene, 4th U. b. Infantry, and Lieut.. Gatchell, th U. S. Artillery, were also members of tho party. Brig. Uen. Estey received Governor Fuller and ex-Gov. Holbrook and present ed the brigade and regimental officers. After all had been presented Gov. Fuller expressed his pleasure at meeting the officers of the Vermont National Guard and Introduced Governor Holbrook, who spoke briefly, referring to the associations clustering about tho "old camp ground." He expressed his Interest in the National Guard and urged upon them the duty embodied in that oft repeated saying. In times of peace, prepare for war." This closed the formal program of recep tion, but during the afternoon Governor Fuller received many guests who called to pay their respects. Governor Hol brook remained in camp during the after noon. The Itnnd. A feature of the encampment was the music by the First Regiment band of Brattleboro. In ensemble playing there are few organizations Its equal. The effect is that of a grand instrument, none of the Individual players sustaining their parts in the too prominent manner often noticeable in other bands. In the field movements, also, the band made a highly creditable showing. Three former Brattleboro mus icians were witn tue band, J. 1J. Kocker fellow, tuba, of New Bedford; Ernest Davis, alto, of bprlngheld, Mass. ; and C. L. Brigbam, clarinet, of Clareuiont. N. II. The band was also assisted by C. E. White, clarinet, of tho Fitchburg band, and Chas. Alexander, clarinet, of Gardner, JIass. The concerts given each evening by the band furnished enjoyment to hundreds of townspeople. The Work of the Regulars. Much interest has been shown by the townspeople and guests in tho work of tho regulars. The military regulations require that two hours of each day shall be spent in some lorni ot military exercise, and dur ing the week this work has taken tho form of a morning drill and an afternoon drill. Nearly every afternoon their work has been watched by the guardsmen, as the company movements have been exempli fied, tho street drill, used in ease of riots, and the extended order or battle drill being especially Interesting. A fino exhibition of bayonet exercise was given Tuesday afternoon. The officers and men of tho company have been very courteous in receiving their many callers and have explained tho de tails of regular army life to scores of eager listeners. It was very interesting to listen to Col. Stone and his first sergeant as they went through their clerical work one morn ing. The colonel explained the various re port and record books that aro kept by tho first sergeant. Tho records aro kept in such a way that on a man's dischargo his whole army record Is on file, full particu lars regarding military service, character aud physical condition being given. On Wednesday two men, Patrick Har per and Gordon Martin, were honorably discharged, eue's term having expired and tho other taking advantage of t privi lege of retiring at tho end of two years' service. As to tho personnel of the com pany, over 50 per cent of tho men are Americans, many of tho remainder being of Irish or German descent. In the com pany are men who have served all the wa from three months to 20 years. UNJl'er Cent Total Attendance. Tho consolidated bugade report of at tendance has shown tho following number of men in camp each day; Monday, 710; Tuesday, 751; Wednesday, 753; Thursday, 755; Friday, 740. The number In each company Tuesday was: A, Rutland, 51; B, St. Albans, 40; C. Brandon, 51 ; D, St. Johnsbury, 40; E, Barre, 40; F, North field, 51; G, Bradford, 40; II, Montpeller, 40; I, Brattleboro, 51; K, Bennington, 50; L, Nowport, 40; M, Burlington, 50; Fuller Battery, 80; band, 25, There was but Httlo variation from these figures on (Continued on the etyhth puyc.) il'i ' i i !
