Knapp is a worthy citizen, an able bus
mess man, and a good official. To say
tho very least VIC think he is as good as
any of the men who have entered upon
Il campaign of SANDER against him. If
Citizen" or any other man could show
"a that Mr.. Knapp has been derclict
in moral or official duties, we should
be the last IL to say a word in his
favor. But believing "a we do that
The SANDERS against him are utterly
gr~ounlless, and feeling as we do the
utmost contempt for the plea that MIR.
Knapp must be cast out because a few
irresponsible and worthless characters
have lied about him, we fail to see the
propriely of turning him out of an
Office usually and properly enjoyed
for several terms by its incumbents,
when he has had 1t only half a term.
IL this state of mind we shall remain
until we find some man with a trace OF
chuacter left who will assure us that
he knows Mr.. Knapp has been guilty Of
moral inpropric!ies. We have never
seen such II man yet, nor have we ever
heard of the existence of such a man
This being the case, we shall continue
to protest against the villainous plan o
Try Wing to defeat him by urging agains
him q tcv wayne and unfathered Sian
dcrs. Why don't his opponents come
nut, like iuen and say Just whath ha
been guilty Of, and thus give the man
chance 10 defend his good manner II
vague aud general allegations agains
his character he could only reply, if h,
c~ondesccndcd to notice them at all, b.
a general denial. Therefore we sa.
that, until his opponents present some
thing definite against him, no sensibl
man will be in luenccd by the assertion
that there are in existence charges af

BOOKS RECEIVED.

YOUNG Folks Book OF POETRY.
Selected and arranged by Loomis j..
Campbell. Lee Il Shepherd, publish
ers, Boston.
This is n collection of short poems for
reading and recitation in schools and
at home. 1t is divided into three parts,
with a gradual advance from short and
simple poems and rhymes to those of
a decidedly advanced character. There
are about 275 poems in all, selected
from a large range of authors. 1t
would be q useful book in cultivating a
literary taste in the young. 1t is neatly
printed and bound. Alden has it for
sale.
ADIRONDACK STORIES, by p. DemIng.
HOughtOn, Miflin Il Co., Riverside
Press, Cambridge.
This is a collection Of short stories,
eight in number, of life among the
jewellers in the heart of tho mountain
region which bounds our western hori-
zon. 1t is not devoted to wild hunting
exploits, to the stirring narration Of
successful warfare with the rod and ri
fle, but takes us into intimate contact
with a life almost beyond The pale of
modern progress, and marked with
primitive simplicity of ideas and man.
ners. These stories are almost as sim.
pie in their treatment as the people
whom they describe; there is no strain
ing after rhetorical effect, and no at.
tempt at sensationalism. The trag edy
and comedy of life are there, conveyed in
fitting terms of pathos and humor, and
we are let into almost intimate acquaint-
ance with the characters brought before
us, and are we'll repaid for knowing
them. The stories are marked by q
rare delicacy and suggestiveness OF
treatment, as in the little tale of Benja.
min jacques, where the plain account
of the life and death of an unsuccessful
and lonely old man ends by revealing to
us a shadowy and yet most pathetic no.
nance. The stories often give lovely
word pictures Of scene in the foresI
land, showing poetic descriptive power
on the part of the author. The boob
will make delightful reading for a sum
mer day, though as far removed as pos
sible from the flashy and trashy sensa
tionalism which of late seems to be thu
chief characteristic of stories brough
ont professedly for summer reading.

LETTER FROM COLORADO.


EDITOR REGISTER, DEAR Shuttle
excitement about "going west" that
to be prevailing throughout Yer
mont and other eastern states, and the
indiscriminatc rush TO Colorado seems
to call tor q few words from this end of
the line. The question has been asked
If IL Is advisable for one TO go, why not
for another? That would be a rcasona-
BILE question II all men were alike, but
as they are not, a place that would suit
one would not suit another. And
where one would be prosperous and
happy, another would be exactly the
reverse. Steady, Woodworking, perse-
vering men, with or without capital,
would do we'll here, but men that get
discouraged when thew meet with re-
verses had better stay at home, for al
though usually there is a better opper-
tunity for making money here than
there. Some years that is not the case
and it is with difficulty that a poor man
makes a living. So you see it requires
perseverance to. pull through such sea-
sons and wait for more prosperous ones
to better his condition. Men that ex-
pect to get their living by their wits
will find this a poor place to come to,
Men that cannot make a decent living
there will scarcely better their condi.
ton by coming here. Men that have
been accustomed to look to some one
to help then, through all the hare
places, had better stay6with thier back
er. They would not be apt to find ont
here to fill their place. Men that have
grown old in the county where the,
were born had better end their day
there. They would lbe disseminated
with almost any change. Men WHIT
have a comfortable home in the Eas
had better stay there. Men that hav'
boys from fifteen to twenty years oil,
that have outgrown their home ba,
better not give them money to com
here. Ii is not a suitable place TO
them, and besides they will soon sen,

A Terrible Accident.

A Santa Cruz, CAL, dispatch of SUM-
day says: ga local train on the South
Pacific Coast railroad which run SUM-
day between here and Big Trees with
passengers TO tho independent rifle
picnic at that place, met with q terrible
accident. Three open cars with high
ratings on the sides and ends, and with
seats loaded with about 1875 persons left
that place for Santa Cruz. All went
well till No. 2 tunnel was passed Just
above and overlooking the powder
works. AS the cars passed through the
tunnel the speed of the engine was in
creased. just as a curve in tho road
was reached tho first car Jumped the
track TO the left and the second TO the
right, the third remaining on tho track.
The people on the first two cars were
thrown into heaps on the inside toward
the bank in a confused mass, the cars
passing Ovcr those who were across the
track. Those on the third car were un-
injured, merely being knocked of their
feet. Those not hurt Immediately set
TO work to assist the wounded and look
alter the dying and dead and word was
sent TO Santa Cruz and FELTON, for as
sistance which was promptly rendele ed.
Every hotel was turned into a hospital
TO receive the wounded, which will
number upwards Of forty. Thirteen
are reported dead, and others will die
before morning. A number Of San
Francisco people werc on the train at
tho time of the accident. II is impossi-
BILE to give a list OF the wounded at
present. as they are being cared for by
all parties, and are spread in various
parts of the town. Some of the dead
are not identified. Physicians are
working to relieve the wounded, assist
cd by the Sisters of Charity, no service
being held at the churches on account
of the disaster. -TSpring6eld Union.

Ply to answer as shortly rs possible
Judge Knapp has no interest of any
kind in the Register, and has no more
control of its columns than the able and
wealthy citizen himself. lie is not our
"cllent," nor do we, IN advocating his
nomination to the judgeship of probate,
"work for pay, !" as "Citizen" insinuates.
Nor has he ever, directly or indirectly,
requested us to say a word in his favor.
We favor him because we are well ac-
quainted with him, and have always
found him about right because we be-
lieve him to be the victim of %groundless
ISLANDERS from sources which no respect
able and right-minded man would be-
lieye under oath-bccause we see that
parties who are DESTROYS of securing his
Office for themselves are engaged in try
ing to revamp the old ISLANDERS and
manufacture some new ones for tho
purpose of injuring him with the pub
lic-and last, but not least, because, so
far as we can learn, he is filing the Of
flee efficiently and well, is thoroughly
acquainted with its duties, and has Civ
on entire satisfaction except to some ri
walls and enemies.
We presume Mr.. Knapp has plenty OF
enemies. Any man with the "sand" in
him generally has. We presume he
has plenty OF faults. Most men have.
All this does not alter the fact that MI.
