Donnelly as the representative of the

propriately names "foaters," cruelty re-

Of votes at every election, and notifies
them that the votes they want this fall
cannot be had for such an old bunker
as Fisher. And he is right. 1t is not at
all likely that he can be nominated. The
Democratic managers are not fools; on
the contrary, their filling has generally
consisted in being too smart; SO smart as

the loss Of the post-cfice and all its woes,

with his staunch pro-slavery Democracy
and with his old record as editor for
years Of the Pioneer and now Of the
Pioneer-Press would be the most vul-
nerable candidate they have ever put up
to be criticised or ridiculed. He wsuld

scape-goat went from beneath the hands

the Democracy Of Minnesota, from Joe

out the agricultural counties, who, By
the way, are going to elect the Governor,

An Inde pendent Paper that Will met
support r. shcr II ominntea.

It is absurd for the Democrats to put up their
cd party hacks, and then ask reformers to en-
course. As the Democrats seem bound to
put Fisher on the track, we speak out in meet
ing, aud announce that we will not, as q lib
eral-Republican, accept Of Mr.. Fisher as a re.
form candidate at the hands of the Democratic
party. There is not an element of reform
about him, there is not particle oi executive
Davis, there is great gulf fixed, in which
Fisher cannot find many gudgeons. Davis is
more acceptibe to the literal elements OF the
party than is Fisher. We are independent
enough to work against Fisher, and vote
against him, il the Republicans put up no
worse man than Dsvis.-Pine County Ners,

Evil Effects OF Rushing the C0mven-
tiOn to Secure Fishers NominatiOn.

The early call for Democratic Liberal-Re-
publican State Convention, seems likely to
prove serious bar to q representation Of the
different counties, and more especially the re-
mote ones. Coming, as it necessarily must,
in the busy season Of the year, call for a
tail 20 meet with liberal response, even If the
time was not SO limited We undersa aud that
Wright county will not be represented, as the
county committee deem it inadvisable to call La
convention, and will probably let the matter
60 by cetault.

A Bankrupt State Treasury.

According to statement in the Minneapolis
Nail, the condition of the State Treasury is
very unsatisfactory one. The general revenue
unc is now overdrawn 81, 900. Added to this
is the sum of s6O, 600 in warrants now out
standing and drawing interest at the rate Of
seven per cent. per annum, issued for grass
hopper relief. The State Treasurer was au-
tho, lied by law to borrow S76, 600 at seven per
cent. for this purpose, only soO, GOO of which
has been used. The law of last winter also au-
thorized the expenditure of $4,000 tor seed
grain, only half of which has been used. It
was expected that these extraordinary amounts
woul0 have been received by the State Treas
ury in the June settlement. But the repeal of
that PORTION of the law imposing ten per cent.
penalty for Lon payment Of taxes in addition
to the two per cent. per month penalty, has
had the effect to diminish the treasury re-
ceipts for June far below what they were last
year. The counties that have already reported
are all behind. For instance: Houston coun-
ty, which sent $1,000 last June, now My
sends 81, 500; Pine county forwards only $00O,
against $500 last year. Ifthis proportion OF de-
linquency exists in the other counties, the
State viii not be able to meet its obligations,
and the grasshopper warrants which were to
have been taken up this month must he push
ed over until the meeting Of the next legisla-
ture.

Fisher Wave.

The Pioneer-Press started the 'sFisher
Wave," and has devoted large amount Of its
ed torial and other space to the task of giving
that worthy gentleman good serd of as the
governor. It next sends its business manager
as proxy to the meeting Of the Republican
State Central Committee to assist in devising
the beast means for defeating Fisher and Sc
curing the trium h of the Republican nomi-
nee, whoever he may be. The great consoli-
dated concern evidently elieves that . man

THE REVISION OF TIE STATUTES.--IiOn.
Luke Z. Poland, in his conversation with
the reporter of the st. Adams Messenger re-
garding certain omissions made by his
committee in colifying the United States
Statues, makes some criticisms upon the
merchants and editors of New York and
Boston, and evidently misunder>tands the
cause of the complaints of the merchants
of both cities. They understand perfectly
well that the statute requiring :; Collector
of Customs to order ut least one package
in every ten of each importation to the
out of the Revised Statutes by Judge Po
laud's Committee. 1t is still upon tho
Statute book, and the onl. question in
connection with it was. whether it should
be enforced upon such impOrtatiOEs as
figs, raisins, wine, etc. cntiilinS great
cost of transportation to the merchants, o.
whether as for thirty years past. the cx
animation on such small articles shoul'
be had upon the wharf, instead of in thu
public store, and the cost of carriage thus
saved to the merchant. This was one o
the things which Collector Simmonds aim
ed to accomplish in his visit to Washing
| ton.
| Under the act OF Alarcn l, 1919, Sectlo
%, one member of firm was authorizes
to enter into 4 bond for duties in behalf o
the entire firm, thus saving much persona
ANNOYANCE and valuable time. This pro
vision was omitted from the Revised Stat
ute>, although other portions of said &c
were incorporated therein, and the Sccre
tary of the Treasury ruled, IN conseque't
of this omission, that the practice must b
continued This is what causes the trouble
and it is of this omission, and the re
cent ruling upon it, that the merchants
Boston and New York justly and properl
complain. 1t may be true, us the Judge AZ
serts, that wayEtring man though
fool " ought to understand so plain a Law
but the Secretary of the Treasury officall
says that in consequence of the omissio
of the section above referred to. the practio
which has prevailed under it for more tina
fifty years must hereafter be continued

TbelSOldiers' Reunion.

From a dispatch in the Free Press dated
Brattleboro, August 18th, we clip the fol-
lowing. The soldier reunion is every way
grand success. Over four hundred vet
Grams are in attendance, and Brattleboro
is filled with strangers, and the hotels are
literally crowded. To- day has been rather
moist but not unpleasant. Governor Peek,
and others arrived at 80, this afternoon.
A procession was formed, and Governor
Peck was escorted to the residence of Is. ID.
Harris, ESQ, whose guest he is. The camp
is situated about one mile from the village
on the old camp ground, is beautifully To-
Gated and finely and tastefully arranged.
About one hundred Vermont veterans, now
residents of Massachusetts. are in attend
ance, and twenty five more are expected
| to arrive tomorrow. Vice President Will
son, will be here tomorrow, having been
delayed by his train.
| To-day was spent in receiving the dele
cations of veterans as they arrived. The
dress parade announced for tonight was
postponed on account Of the weather. The
hotels and many of the private residences
are elegantly decorated, flags of nearly
every nationality being hung out to the
breeze. The citizens of BrattlebOro are
doing all in their power-and are doing no.
bly,, tooAto make the reunion grand and
successful one. and deserve the most I'M
limited credit. Their hospitality is un
bounded. Five bands are present, and this
evening they gave 4 fine concert at the
camp. Everybody is enjoying general
good time tonight, and such time as
only old veterans and companions in hard
fou ght battles can enjoy when they meet
to speak of the past Tomorrow after
noon. Governor Holbrook will welcome
the soldiers at the camp, after which will
follow addresses by President Wilson
and Gov. Peck Then will follow the
grand review and torchlight procession,
which will be succeeded by speeches from
the balcony Of the Brooks House.

that it used to be n wilderness, and that he

that it has become n garden, OF words tC

HERzEGovINA-Two months ago five
villages in the Turkish province of Herzc-
govina raised the Austrian flag and invited
the Turkish tax gatherers to depart. The
revolted province lies on the extreme
western limits of the Turkish dominion, on
the borders of the Austrian kingdom of
Dalmatia; on the east, north and west it
is shut in by mountains. and on the south
it is bounded by the little kingdom OF
Montenegro The only means of reaching
it from Constantinople is by railway to
Adrianople, and thence by Il long and
tedious journey through Roumelia, Servla
and Bosnia. The instruction spread like
wild fire; over the whole province OF
Herzegovina; one town after another,
long weary of the oppression of the Turk
ish tax gathercrs, joined the. insurgents ;
and sympathizers from some of the neigh
boring provinces enlisted in the same
cause. The rebel forces have already won
several important victories, and are wag-
inga very aggressive and determined fight
for independence. The trouble grows, Is
spreading to other provinces, AMI my
