Public Opinion.

In a letter to the postmaster general
the president makes out a strong case
against the postmaster at Rome, n. Y.
whose suspension has been ordered. -
New York Tribune.
We cOnscientiOusly believe if the
democratic platform in this state next
fall should consist solely of the words,
"TO the victors belong the spOils," we
would carry the state by a larger ma
jority than though our party had all
the republican Miss Nancys in the state
hanging to its skirts and voting its
ticket Troy, n. Y, Press.
We are glad of the general and
hearty approval of the denomination of
Mr.. Pearson expressed by men of both
parties. We do not feel that we are
recreant to our republican ideas and
preferences in applauding President
Cleveland. 1t is the very essence of
true republicanism to make the public
good the supreme object, and, so far as
he shall serve that end, he will have
our support. A republican in the pres
idential chair wOuld have made no
wiser, filter nOminatiOn.-[In depend-

Trouble at Panama.

The war cloud, which n short time
ago was over Central America, seems
to have been suddenly dispelled by the
death of BarriOs, who is reported to
have fallen in his first engagement
with the forces of San Salvador. But
the riotous and mongrel elements which
dwell upon the Isthmus of Panama not
to be out done by their Northern neigh
bOrs, have got up rebellion of their
own, seized Colon. or Aspinwall-t
eastern terminus of the Panama rail
way-burned most of the buildings in
that place and seized considerable
property belonging to the United
States and its citizens. Transit across
the isthmus has also been closed. So
far as is now known the Instruction
lists have no political grievance and
their sole object is plumber. When
this news reached Washington, the
President acted promptly and several
men-uf war and large number of
marines have been sent to the 18TH
mus and orders have been sent to our
naval officers in that region to protect
our citizens and their property to the
limit of their power.
The reasons for our interference are
the following: In 1916 the United
States made a treaty with New Grena-
da, now Colombia, by which the former
guaranteed the neutrality of the 18TH
mus in return for a grant of right of
way across it to the United States and
to its citizens by any mode of cOmmu-
nicatiOn which they might choose to
adopt. Our acquisition of California
and the discovery of gold in that state
led to the building of the Panama rail-
way in 1850, by company chartered
by New York, at a cost of g, 500, 900.
The property of this company is now
owned by our citizens and Colombia
not being able to give it due prOtec-
ton, our government if called upon by
Colombia may interfere to render that
protection. Without being formally
Vailed upon, the closing of transit and
lut HiON lNlOiic vi iiIC VI lO1O
may Justify such interference, and
doubtless it will be acceptable to CO.
lOmbia. Revolution seems to be the
chronic condition of some one of the
nine states composing Colombia, but
whenever disturbance occurs in Pana-
ma it assumes international import
ance. The interests of commerce and
civilization demand that this narrow
strip of land be under the control of
government which can steadily main
tain peace and order. How to secure
such result without violating the indie
pendence of another state, hopelessly
entangling ourselves in foreign politics
or annexing distant territory inhabited
by an alien race, is one of the most
difficult problems before the new sec
rotary of state.

From Lebanon Free Press, April TO-

President Cleveland has made very
high pretensiOns in the line of civil ser
vice reform. He cannot now retreat
without earning the contempt of the
civilized world. He can go ahead and
eight it out on this line" and earn and
receive the gratitude of his country
men. We need hardly say that in this
work he has our entire sympathy and
good wishes.
We believe in the absolute necessity
of this reform, and that it is question
which involves the very existence of
this republic. This country will go
down in blood some day if the result of
presidential elections is always to in
vOlve an entire or general change of
the men who do the government work
if greed for office is to be the ruling
motive in political campaigns, the
country must invent some way to put IA
stop to this state of things. NJ. E.. G..

the crude wood cuts of "Old Dog Tray

Country Maid and her Milk PAIL" and
"The Boy that stole Apples" etc, as
well as in the short sentences thrown
in for explaining the use of the words,

DEATH OF A USEFUL WOMAN.

DEATH OF A USEFUL WOMAN.
Mrs. Emily G., widow of Samuel
Williston of EasthamptOn, Mass, died
left a fortune acquired through the
adoption of her ideas relative to but
ton manufacture and he founded the
Williston Seminary at Easthampton
and was a generous patron of Amherst
College. She has distributed her large
income since her husbands death
among various worthy institutions.
To the town library she gave $4,000 :;
the S15O, 900, of which she has had the
income, goes to the seminary to accu-
mulate till it reaches S3OO,OO0. The
homestead, worth $4,000, is bequeath-
ed to the seminary.
THE CASE OF ADA SWEET.
The action of President Cleveland in
the case of Miss Ada G.. Sweet, pension
agent at Chicago, is more significant
as indicating his probable course in re-
gard to the civil service than the re-
appointment of Postmaster Pearson of
New York. The new commissioner of
pensions called for her resignation, in
an arbitrary manner, not only alleging
no reason personal to herself but dis
tinctly stating that there was none
The plucky woman firmly refused to
resign, and appealed to the President,
who laid the matter before the Cabi-
net, with statement of his disapprO-
val of Commissioner Blacks action.
The commissioner has no right to re-
move an agent appointed by the Pres-
dent, and the indications are that Miss
Sweet will retain her position. 1t
would seem likely, also, that hereafter
commissioners will be more discreet in
calling for designations.

Conscientious, but Poor Judgment.
Woodstock Standard. Feb. Is.

The attempt of the st. JOhnsbury
Index syndicate to purchase The Gale
DOMAIN has failed and Mr.. Stone will
continue "business at the old stand
as he says. He offered to sell but his
terms not being satisfactory it was
agreed to leave the matter of price to
two men who should be mutually
agreed upon. The referees looked the
property over and named figure con
siderably in excess of Mr.. Stones offer.
Thereupon the syndicate refused to
accept the terms. We are glad to
learn that Mr.. Stone is to remain. His
course in the last campaign was in our
Judgment, a mistake, but no one ques-
tons that he was conscientious in it
from first to last. He has hohOred his
profession for more than n quarter of
a century, during which time he has
made the best paper st. JOhnsbury
ever had, and the party who hopes to
excel The Caledonian in enterprise,
character, mechanical attractions and
general excellence must "get up early
if we may be allowed vulgarism. 1t
is daringly independent and sometimes
errs in judgment, as we all do, but
those who do not like it have a remedy
in their own hands. A newspaper
must be the work of the editor and of
nobody else, and the editor who at
tempts to please everybody will find
himself eventually without friend to
his back.

The True Inwardness of the Syndicate.
Montpelier Waterman, March T.
The new newspaper enterprise at
st. Johnsbury is attracting consider
able attention in manner that was
not down on the original programme.
The press of the state has noticed it at
considerable length, in some of its pc
culiar aspects, and the Free Press last
week again gave it nearly half column
of editorial advertising, which will per-
haps reappear i'll the new Index, as the
spontaneous production of its editors
lakeside sponsor. Indeed, there is a
not unfounded suspicion that this ap
parently innocent editorial by-play is
not entirely apart from a purpose to
"bull' the Index and "bear" the Gale
DOMAIN. 1t is understood that a SON
in-law, or proposed son-iu-law, of the
chief mover in this enterprise is to be
associate editor" and "business man
ager" of the new paper, and that
another proposed sOn-in-law intends to
be journalist when he becomes fully
tledged. This fact is supposed to ac-
count for part of the milk in this
newspaper cocoanut, and some of the
knowing ones in old Caledonia are al
ready laughing in their sleeves to think
how this disinterested father n-law-
elect or de fdctO-has played the
straight republican dodge on the Fair
bankses and others, to provide soft
place for present or prospective sons
in-law. This fact, and we understand
it is a fact, taken in connection with the
uncontradicted story that the editor
in-chief "was a mugwump of a pro-
nounced type last year." converts the
heroic scheme to establish a Simon
pure republican paper in the Passuap-
sic valley into something very like a
roaring farce. We are not surprised to
hear it intimated that there is some of
the syndicate stock left that any one
can have at par. Meanwhile, what
ever may be the ultimate result, the
CaledOnian has brushed up wonder
fully with the prospect of competition
and is displaying an amount of enter
prise and vigOr that must restore its
prestige, if it has lost any, and should
give it popular support and confidence.
This it has had in a larger measure, in
spite of some not unreasonable grounds
for criticism, and will have more album
dainty in the future, if indications are
not greatly at fault.

Political Doctors Disagreeing.

Political Doctors DiSagreeing.
Mr.. Editor,-In view of the harmo-
ny (O expressed in the samples given
below (cut from the editorial comment
of two staunch republican newspapers
of last weeks issue in an adjoining
state), will some one tell us what the
true doctrine is in the republican par
ty on the civil service reforms Are
not these cOntrasted utterances only
another illustration of the fact that in
most cases the real, vital questions of
our current politics cut straight
through the lines of existing parties?
From the Manchester Mirror, April g.
At last the civil service refOrmers
have won a substantial triumph, for at
their behest the president has reap
pointed Henry G. Pearson, the republi-
can postmaster of New York. Mr. Pear
son voted for Blaine but is no pOliti-
clan, and being an excellent postmaster,
the mugwump refOrmers, either to show
their power with the administration OF
to establish precedent, demanded
that he should be continued in office.

democratic press of the country and
the emphatic warnings of the demo-
cratic leaders, Mr.. Cleveland sent his
name to the senate for re-appOintment.
|. Let us say frankly that this is
going much farther in the direction of
civil service refOrm,-as taught by
George William Curtis and the other
enemies of the spoils system,-than
any republican president would have
gone, or any considerable number of
democrats or republicans supported
Cleveland would go, last fall If
Mr.. Blaine had been elected, no demo-
crat would have dared to ask him for
the best Office in his gift, and if he had,
he would have stood no more chance of
getting it than the Mahdi would of get
ting a seat in the British parliament by
asking for it. No republican
expected or wished that if Blaine was
successful he would give the democrats
a part of the offices, and certainly no
democrat expected or wished if Cleve-
land won he would perpetuate the re-
publican Office holders. In short, nine
tynine hundredths of all the talk for
civil service reform was the sheerest
hypocricy, CANNON and pretence.

The Public Will Regard it an Organ.
Brattleboro Phenix, April 10

The new "straight republican" pa
per at St JOhnsbury was finally launch
ed two weeks ago, when the Index ap-
peared transformed into the st. Johns
bury Republican. The paper has new
type and new material throughout, is
printed on fine paper and makes a
handsome appearance. 1t is owned
and run by stock company, which
prides itself on its "strOng financial
backing" and on the fact that it is
made up of leading republicans in diff
ferent parts of Caledonia county. Its
"strOng financial backing" the "rep
resentative" character of its owners,
and its "straight republicanism" will,
however. have little to do with max
ing the new paper a success, unless it
demonstrates its right to exist on some
other grounds than these. 1t must
show far more ability than it has yet
exhibited TO prove its right to supplant
The CaledOnian, which for many years
has held its place as country paper
of much more than average ability, and
one every way clean and wholesome.
The fact that, whatever the alleged
demand for its existence, the new pa
per in its practical effect, has been
started to kill off or injure The Gale
DOMAIN, will operate steadily against
it. 1t is true that it can probably so cut
up the business for time as to leave
no margin of profit for either concern !;
but the "killing off" will be a harder
job than its owners imagine. From it's
ownership and manner of origin the
public will inevitably regard it as an
"Organ," and attribute personal or sell
fish motives to whatever it may do or
say, while the independence of The
CaledOnian is a known fact. However
confidently the owners of the new ven
ture may have counted on a stampede
of the public patronage to their sup
port, they will find in the end that the
people have an affection for the old
Caledonian, and an abiding faith in its
soundness, its integrity and straight
forwardness, which only years can
bring. Unless the universal newspa-
per experience is reversed in this in
stance, the event will prove that The
CaledOnian will live and flourish and
be respected long after the owners of
the Republican have found that it is
one thing to start a new newspaper
and quite another to secure for it such
continuous and reliable public support
as shall keep it up to high standard
of excellence, pay its expenses, and
yield even a small return on its invest
meDt.
