How 1t strikes the Stalwart West.

1t turns out that the opposition to Senator
Edmunds in his own state, to which democratic
newspapers refer so frequently and fuently as
a popular revolt" is confined 10 an ambi-
tious rival and few adherents. J, Gergory
Smith, president OF the Central Vermont
railroad, rich corporation, wants to so to the
Senate, and is actively engaged in circulating
his opinion that Mr.. Edmunds has outved
his usefulness. This ambitious gentleman may
have powerful mind, but if he lives long
enough he will learn that no John Smith, how
ever deity TIE first name be concealed, can
succeed Senator Edmunds while that states
man retains his faculties in their present con-
dition. Because Gregory Smith is Il good
enough man to run little railroad in Yer
mont it does not follow that he is big enough
to engineer an entire ate.-Indianapolis
Journal.
But he is, though, for he has done it
right along for twenty years, though
his reign is now about over, unless all
signs lie. He has undertaken bigger
job this time than he can perform, and
his "Frce Pass Brigade" will have to
beat an inglorious retreat. But the
journal makes huge mistake when it
speaks of the Central Vermont Rail-
road company as "a rich corporation"
It's lifelong and autocratic manager, j.
Gregory Smith, Is rich, enormously
rich, his friends boast: but the corpora
ton itself has always been poorer than
a church mouse, and everybody, except
its manager, who ever invested any
money in it has lost it. All the same,
Gov. Smith is mighty smart man, as
thousands have found out to their cost.
He undoubtedly acts on the scripture
doctrine that he who fails to provide
for his own household is worse than an
intidel; so he keeps his eye peeled for
number one, to wit: j. Gregory Smith.

Too much Importance is self-import-

You may cheat others now, but your
self also in the long run.
The greatest honor that man can rem

What man is deficient of in senses he
usually makes up in mulishness.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him hint of it.
Remember this: However small you
consider your possession, there is some
one who envies you.
There is no luck, but there is such q
thing as hard work and knowing how
to make it answer for what others call
"luck.'
Too many young men believe that
"the world owes every man living"
and that it requires no effort on mans
part to make the collection.
No matter how low man may get

cities, carefully planned combinations
of democrats and the spells element in
the republican party, inspired and held
together by plumber and the free use of
who set law and order at def
anoe, and temporarily run riot over the
people, But swift retribution has over
taken the leaders in these combinations,
as it surely will their imitators in YER
mont. 1t is hardly to be believed that
any man has become so pulled up with
wealth and so insane through ambition
rs to think that the voters of Vermont
can be dehauchcd and led captive with
money. But the intimatiou thrown out
means this if ii means anything, In the
third place, they suggest the query up
permost in all minds, where did this
enormous wealth, which it is plainly
limited may become potent factor in
Vermont politics, come from? "Six or
eight millions" is big pile of money
for any man to get together, especially
up here in sterile Vermont; and the
man Who has the capacity to do this,
has ii in his power to confer a lasting
benefit on his felowman by explaining
from his own experience the me thods
by which such vast wealth may be hon
estly acquired. And having been so
acquired. it is Il positive misfortune
that the slightest suggestion should get
abroad, even from unreliable demo-
cratic sources, that any portion OF this
immense sum may be dishonesty used
to corrupt the political integrity of the
people.

VIII his millions buy 1t?

"Gov. Smith is worth from six to
eight millions of dollars" says Brad.
Srpalley, one of his intimate democrat
ic allies, "and if he shall see fit to use
a part of it he might defeat Edmunds'
reelection" Brave words these, and
full of suggestion. In the first place,
they suggest belief in the minds of
Gov. Smith and his democratic associ-
ates, at least, that the democrats and a
part of the republicans of Vermont can
be bought up with money like sheep, at
so much a head, cash down. Other
wise, why thrust the Governors money
bags so prominently into public view
In the second place, they suggest well
grounded suspicion of purpose to in

Colonel II. E. Taylor, COLONEL
Geo. W. Hooker and COLONEL Levi
X. Fuller were the chosen orators to
address the State Camp Fire of the
Sons of Veterans at Brattleboro this
week. Ye Gods! Didn't the bewil-
dered Youngsters stare at the impetu-
Gus eloquence of the gifted but modest
Taylor, the brilliant oratorial pyrotech-
MICS of the genial and soaring Hooker,
and the monotonous and unending flow
of emasculated words of the ever-ready
and never-tiring Fuller! If the boys
should rake Vermont with fine tooth
comb, they couldn't scratch up another
set of natural orators to match them.
In "word-slinging," to use a vulgar
Western expression, they are the ac-
knowledged champions of Windham

day or by the week, word for word, a.

forwardness, lie is frank, open
handed and manly man, above all tricks
and subterfuges; one who looks ques-
tons of right and wrong squarely in
the face, and who is governed by his
convictions and not by considerations
of policy OF popularity. This is the
kind of a man that it does to site to-
and whatever be the merits of his COM
petitor, who doubtless has an honom-
BILE future before him, no mistake will
be made, if at this time the nomination

From the Rural Vermonter:
In the choice of men for governor,
acknowledgements, members of the
general assembly, and particularly sen-
ators, those, and those only, who are
positively known to be on the right
side, and will stick toe tn right side, of
all questions, political or otherwise, at
feeling the honor and welfare of the
State should be selected. In the senate,
for example, is likely to come again
'lhc TUG of war" on the question of
passing an efficient railway bill. The
interest hostile to that measure are
known to be quietly looking after that
branch of the legislatre-for more
reasons than one. An adverse senate
would again vote down commission
bill; hostile or doubtful lieutcnant-t
governor, by his casting vote, might de-
feat, or suffer its enemies to emascu-
late, vital measure of this kind; and a
governor. nominated and elected by
railroad agencies, should the appoint
ment of commissioners proceed from
him, could nullify the most wholesome
law. So all along the line, at caucuses,
conventions and on election day, the
freemen of Vermont will need to at
tend to their political duties with I'M
wonted vigilance this summer if they
would achieve victory in the autumnal
campaign.

In West Townshend, May %, Char
lott W., wife of Oscar Dean, aged 56,
There has seldom been a private flu
neral more largely attended and more
solemn than that of Mrs. Oscar Dean,
on Monday. Mrs. Dean was a woman
of pure Christian character, beloved by
all who knew her, and her loss will be
seriously felt by all. The family wish
to express their sincere thanks to their
many friends who so kindly assisted
them in this, their great affiicticn.
She had heard the angel calling
In her silent, patient pain,
And had watched his dread on coming,
Through tears like the falling rain.
For her love gave to the whisper,
The sound of another's name,
And she deemed it for dear one.
That the wondrous message came.
But the angel passed that other,
In the darkness, swiftly by,
And set his seal upon her,
In the name of the King on High.
Her patient pain, like garment,
Forever fell away.
And she waits her dear ones coming
In the light of the perfect day.
She had left the loved and loving,
To the grief of an empty home,
And the world holds no other mother
Wherever they may roam.
But the treasure, though e'er SO precious,
Was taken away in love,
That the hearts of those who sorrow,
Might be drawn TO the Father above.
