The Leeialature of 1883 has ap- proved ot the amendment and niado tbe first order for Its subniission to the peo ple." The above Ironi the Sunday Bud- get expresses an excellent reason wuy tjmnmnnra nennla in theState ot New York should voie the Republican ticket next month. But the prohibitionists will probably divide tbe vote in closo rtlatrlnta o-ivine. aa far aa thev cau , these aesemblymen to the Deniocrats and thus deieat tne cause mey are ou yiuieoocuij gollcltous about." TIIB DESKSN FOIt 'rilli OBJNT MuNUiUIiNT. The New York lVhrfd publishes cute nf thn flnfl nriza desiena out ot some slxiy or seventv aubmitted for the Qrant Monument. all of which scem to be atlafactov. It eavs of them : "If theae desiens aiford anyiustmeas ure of American genius and taste it would be better for us to creci no monu. mant at all. But. fortunntely, they rep rnaeut nothine of the kind. Architects of real capacity and reputatlon do not enter tnto prize coniesis, espeumny when tbe higbest prize is a sum of money too emall, even if it were a certain fee, to iuatifv an arohiteet of the tlrst rank in attemntine a deaien. The priza ByS' tem could not bave bcen expected to nroduce Batisfactorv results." Rut it ia not at all certain that a monu ment after any ono of these designs will be erected, for Prof. Gremer tho Becre- tary ot the association wnom we quoieu week beiore last, aaya on inis poim.

Tho Rutland Board of Trade, as if it hna llitln nlsn tn da llian to induco all the manufacturine coucerns in that county to "pull up stakes" and move to the Marble Citv. have lately tried their nerauasion on the Rinlev Broa. of Poult ney, nearly the only large concern left in tbat town. They took away from Poultney the Stoddard Manufacturing Company, and from Mechanicavillo the ChaseToy Works. The latter action eventually converts that thrivingsuburb into a deserted village. We give tho ar gument of the Journal, first saying that the Qrays of Middletown have refused to acoedo to the centralizing echeme of the ambitioUB Vermont mettopolis. says : "But our Rutland friends would do well to understand a doctnne nolitical economv that the crowth of town cannot be enforced. Suppoao all of the people of this county, nttracted by the splendors of a big town, should pull up stakes and move to Rutland The reault would be to ruin the whole Rutland as it now ia draws much of its Buatenance from towna outside in the countv. natarallv.leeitimately and prop- erlv: and the more nrosnerous they all are in their agriculture, and in all Ibeir industries, the more tho outside towns will benefit Rutland in a business point of view. There is no doubt of the eolid itv of this propoailion. If those back towns which have the 'deeerted farras' could resuacitate those farms, and create mechanical and manufacturing business tberein, which has become a neceBsity for pro8perlty in these modern timoa in any town. Rutland would get the bene flt of it, and tbe natural impulse would riromote the crowth of Rutland and every town in Rutland county. The theorv is all wrone as applied to pur- peses of growtb, that if a apark of enter Eriee is diacovered in Mt. Ilolly.Shrews ury or Wells, it must be ignited at Rut' land.or nothing will come of it. Tbe true theory tor tbe proaperlty oi tne wuoio ia, for active induattv in each town in the county, or State, if you please, havlng tho varied industries prosecuted as much as possible in eacb town. And we ue lleve the peoDle ln the use of eood eense, if left to themselves, would Bettle down into 8uch a condition of thlDgs. AN EMPII&TIC WARNINO TO 1NVEST-S ORS. We have never advocated tho invest mentof the hard-earned eavinga of East ern workingmen and women in.Western farm mortgages. On the contrary we bave discountenauced such uncertain In veatments and recent events prove be yond sbadow of a doubt that much safer loans could be made nearer homo. The Kansas Farmtrs' Loan andTruat Company which was organized somo years since with an alleged capital of halt a mlllion dollars, and which now has oyer 13,000,000 out in mortgages on farms in Kansas, NebraBka, Dakoia and Colorado has collapsed, and with it tbe means ot living of several bundred in vestors ecattered thrnughout New Eog land, wbo, by advice of uavings banks offlcials, wbo were considered ehrewd business men, bad inveated their money in these mortgages. Thia collapae will drag other companies of a like nature with it, and tbe eavings banks of Maine, New Ilampshire and Vermont have atar Idg them in the face thoproblemof how to weatber the threatening cylclone. This company wbich has gone up owes $300,000 in debts demanding immediate settlement, and lacked $299,000 cash to ettle. The cbfef Inspector reports that most of the mortgaged farm property Ib worthless. that many boomera bad de serted their farms and the bulldlngs were vacant or in ruina. Tbe weslern agents had accepted everythiug from which they could rake in their two per cent. commisaion and bad made every possi ble efTort to gather cash enough to meet icterest on bonda duo this week, but faiied. The etock bolders in this com pany are liable undcr State laws for 100 per cent. assesments, wnicu can oe coi Iected by levy on property. The meaaage sent to tbe Boston ofllce by an olllcial in Kansas reyeals the diagracef ul Btate ot affairs exiating in tbis crack investment company. "For God's sake husband every resource and eecure all the money possible from the ealo of debentures to meet the October coupons." We hope it wiil eerve as a salutary lesson to thi tbouaands of small investors in the East who are so eairer to secure laree interest on flctitloua values. Kew England Farmer. Free Tezt Bookt Wanted. A conf erence of school people at Mont pelier last Wednesday ducuaaed tne queation of State uniformity of text books.

Tho next reportof Poatmaster General Wanamaker Is Iikely to contain a recorr mendation that Congress will exten the free delivery eystem so as to ombrace a larger number of towna 'than now. Aa at present eatablished, the Poatmaster General is authorized to confer free de livery upou any town havintc a popula tion ascertained by a rreular census. and not mereiy estimated of not leas than lu.uuu. or where tbe local pnlai!e amounts to $10,000 a year. Mr. Wana maker is considering the iraslbllity of raducing thia mlnimum to 8000 popula tion and $8000 local postage. This would let in a good many oQicee, eepecially after the census of 1890 ia taken. Tne superintendent, Col. J.
