he not remember that General Gar
field was scarcely convinced of the
probability of it when he was noml-
mated? The next Republican Ma
tional Convention will declare for 1t
in unequivocal terms. because tens OF
thousands of Republicans, who hest
tated a few years ago, now fully De-
lieve that the present law is but the
beginning of better things. But II
the writer were looking for positive
evidence of the sentiment of the two
parties in regard to the present civil
service law, he would find it in the al
titude assumed by the press on both
sides. AS a rule, the Democratic
press is hostile to the present law, or
to any law which will not permit the
Democracy should it get into power,
''to take the boys in and warm their
toes"-to use the language of eX-Sen-
ator Thurman. Thus it appears that
there will be sufficient issues on which
the two parties will occupy a hostile
attitude without very much troubling
the unquiet ghost of State Rights.
What Mr.. McVeagh says about the
candidates is excellent. The candi-
date who will draw the Republican
and Independent Republican vote and
be elected, must be man who does
not seek the nomination or have the
Presidential "bee in his bonnet" He
must, as the writer says, be not only
an honest man, but the cause of hon
estv to others. And we may add,
that if the choice should fall upon
some other man than the one who
may be filling the eye of Mr.. McVeah,
there need be no cause for despond-
ency. If the gentleman were less
sharp and more just in his estimates
of men and of the Republican leaders
in his article, it would not be kind to
remind him that Garfield would not
have been nominated had others aban-
doned the field when he did. 1t is
also worthy of notice that while he
has no criticism for the Democratic
House, which turned out every official
and employe, except few disabled
soldiers, he takes the Republican Sen
ate sharply to do, for electing its re-
sponsible officers from its own party
and making few changes among the
subordinates. In other words, when
Mr.. McVeagh speaks of Republicans,
he speaks as one with a grievance.
As an independent, what contrast
he presents to George William Curtis.

Delegate to Chicago.

We notice that the name of Hon.
Henry Ballard, of Burlington, is men,
toned in connection with the Office of
Delegate to the National Republican
Convention at Chicago. If clean
record, both as man and a Repub-
ican; if a long and able service in
every national campaign for the past
sixteen years if marked abilities as
a public speaker are qualities that not
only deserve, but fit the possessor for
the position, then few Republicans of
Vermont are more properly named in
connection with this honorable posi-
ton than Mr.. Billiards.. The fact
that Senator Edmunds is prominently
named in connection with the Presi-
Dental nomination, and that to the
doings of our Vermont delegation at
Chicago will thereby attach vastly
more Importance and responsibility
tld0 unQeE QUIET NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., w
mands imperitively that we use no
cheap material in the makeup OF our
delegation. Give US the best, is what
the Republicans of Vermont demand,
and with the important interests of our
whole party in the keeping, in large
measure, of our Vermont delegation
it behooves us to sink local and minor
claims and send only men of undoubt-
ed integrity and fitness.
With such names as Redfield Proc
tor, Loveland Munson, Gen. Ripley,
Philip X. GIeed, Gov. Barstow, Henry
Ballard, E. J. Osborne, and A. +.
Walker and others from which to
make selection for our west side dele
gates there need be no fear of lack OF
material, and-we very much mistake
the temper of the Republican voters
of our State if they speak with any
uncertain sound when they meet to-
gether to do this work.

The Red Sky of 1900

The magnificent sunrises and sunsets
which for months past have evoked the
wondering admiration of ordinary spec
tatOrs the world over, and have puzzled,
if they have not baffied natural philoSO-
pliers in their efforts to find an eXplana-
ton, are remarkable, but not unprec-
edented in this country at least. The
closing years of the lsst century were
gloomy ones. The atrocities of the
French revolution, the precarious State
of our relations with France, which drew
Washington from his retirement in l79S
happily for short time, and the general
financial distress, the natural result of
the long war for independence, united to
make our people unhappy and inspire
forebOdings of worse things to come,
In 1893, which was commonly. though
enormously, regarded as the last year of
the eighteenth century, a prediction was
widely spread and believed that the world
would come to an end with the 3lst of
December. Children and their credulous
elders were greatly scared, and some of
their more phlegmatic CONTEMPORARIES
did not feel as easy in mind as their scep-
teal utterances would lead one to think.
Throughout New England the Christmas
of 1893 was phenomenally warm. Fam
lilies dined without fires and with omen
windows. The tropical visitation was
regarded by many as forerunner of the
final contlagration and grief at the I'M
expected death of the father of his couu-
try added sadness to apprehension.
The much dreaded day came at last,
and as the sun sank towards the western
horizon it was bathed, as were the whole
heavens, in glow of fiery crimson. The
little ones and their guardians trembled
and feared, even when they were not ac-
tually convinced that "redder vet these
fires should glow" But darkness came
as usual, red gave place to black and the
first morning of 1900 dawned as morn
lngs had dawned for thousands of years
before. and have dawned for more than
four score years since. Descriptions of
scenic effects are always vague and gem
eral, and comparisons between the pres
ent and the past are necessarily unsatis-
factory. Judging, however, from what
aged people have told of 1899, our recent
experiences were for once, at least,
equalled.

Temperance.
BY THE LAMOLLE COUNTY
GOOD TEMPLARs' UNION.
The Ridge Pole.

As temperance people, we may con-
graduate ourselves that in modern
buildings the cumbersome old fash
toned ridge-pole is done away with.
Half century ago temperance was
by no means a fashionable virtue.
Rum was considered a necessity of
daily life by most people, necessary
evil by few, and an unnecessary one
by a weak minority. Of this latter
class was one William Goodman, who
moved with his young wife from
southern New England up into the
northern part, while it was yet COM
paratively new country. He bought
a small farm and went resolutely to
work to improve it, fixing the house
comfortably the first year and the sec
ond year building large barn. In
those days a ''raising" was synony-
nous with what we might now call "a
big drunk" Men and boys came en-
mass and worked with will, both at
the timbers and the jugs, which were
freely circulated. Long before night
many would succumb to the effects of
the jugs, not the work, but enough
were usually left to carry on the job,
and at length, when the ridge-pole
was ready to be hoisted into place, an
extra strong ''swig" was passed about.
Now Mr.. Goodman being imbued
with temperance principles, had made
up his mind to have temperance
raising, and his good wife aided and
abetted him in the idea. One day,
being at a neighbors, she overheard a
conversation between two men who
happened to be there. Said one, ga
man that'll make a raising and not
provide plenty of rum is too mean to
live" That's fact" said the other.
''You can't raise big building with
out it. And when the ridge-pole has
TO 90 up there is nothing but rum that
could ever do the job" Said the first
speaker, ''If l was to go to raising
where a man hadn't furnished rum, |
wouldn't do stroke of work" $50
I say" replied the other" EsNO rum,
no raising, I'd tell them"
"Gentlemen," she said, "my hus-
band is preparing to build a large
barn, aud will have raising before
long, and we hope to see you both
there. We shall have as good din
ner and supper as l can get, but no
rum" The men looked rather shame
faced, and did not say whether they
would come or not, but however, when
the day of raising came, they were
both there. After two hours of work
dinner was served to the whole crowd,
hot coffee, baked beans, roast beef
and all manner of good and hearty
food. All the afternoon pitchers and
pals Of spruce beer were freely
passed around, and at o'clock they
were called to a bountiful supper.
The great ridge pole went up amid
cheers that were not drunken cheers,
for wonder, and the crowd dispersed
when the work was done, with nc
swearing, no broken bones, and no
unsteady steps. Nobody had called
for rum all day, and Of the whole
crowd none had worked better than
the two anti-temperance men before
mentioned.
NJ. Goodman's example was an en-
tering wedge that made the way for
temperance ideas to circulate more
freely. Others followed in the good,
though new path, and to such as him,
pioneers in the temperance cause, we
owe far more than we often pause to
consider.
