The recent Argus manifesto has been enough to set
tie the convictions Of any who waverng, aud In
the coming election of town representatives and
ators the question will be squarely put to candidates
"Will you vote for Edmunds ?" and their election will
turn on their answer to that question. The
question of what Mr.. Edmunds did or did not do in
1884 is not material to the point now at hand. What
is he now? What is he doing now2 Is he such a
man as Will continue the prestige Vermont holds
in national affairs To these questions we may en-
phaucay answer: he is the acknowledged Republican
leader in Congress- he is attending strictly to busi
ness aud has an eye out to prevent all jobs and i'm
proper legi station he is the only mau who con-
tinue unretarded Vermont's prestige in Congress- He
will continue to be the same conscientious, careful
the past and will have the courage Of his convictions
under all circumstances. In this he will be the true
representative Of the sentiment OF genuine Green
Mountain boys.

An Actor Out of Employment.

"Do you require On artist Of my cali

his breast and struck an attitude of pic
turesque port.

mustache, as he looked up from his desk
at the applicant, "I'm filing up my Uncle
Toms Cabin party. Would you like to

@What are the terms?" and the old

"Twenty dollars week and expenses,

Tho Power of the Washington Hand Press.
a large man with moustache brooding
over his mouth like some great national sor'
row visited The Bell Office this week. Ho
was travelling for an eastern house which
makes specially of printing materials and
sight drafts. He tried to sell us large press
with wheels on it, and strongly made and
binding chattel mortgage attachment.
He spoke very highly of this latter feature
and said their mortgages were never known
to break. He said the mortgages they were
now putting in for printers in the northwest
were alike satisfactory. to themselves and the
sheriff. He also spoke incidentally of the
press itself, and we gathered that it was to be
set up and fed with white paper, which would
come out nicely printed with tariff editorials
and original clippings. We judged that
either Democratic or Republican press
could be ordered and that there would be no
extra charge for an attachment to run in an
original poem.
Our next impulse was to seize pen and
write out a check sufficiently able bodied to
cover the cost of recording the mortgage.
Tnrning, we caught reproachful glance
from the dark, cast-iron countenance OF the
old Washington hand press and desisted.
Part of the desist was caused by not being
able to call to mind the address Of any bank
which had ever put iii scaled proposals for
handling our checks
To turn the matter Off we asked the man
If he had sample press with him. he SAID
he had not. Then we said that we did not
believe that his house would start him out
on the road without one and that it was our
opinion he had pawned it. He seemed ag1-
tated, and after leaving q bill for some type
we ordered of his firm last week he went
out.
When the press peddler had formally put
on his injured look and jumped tho office, we
turned to the old hand press with sigh OF
relief. After all, that style Of press seems to
give the greatest satisfaction. No one can
write intelligently of tho power Of the
press who has not pulled it. 1t seems
to have early in life ordered a
large consignment of choice, springy
power, and to still have most Of it on hand.
1t is oil used in holding back. The man who
said the press was the greatest power in the
world had pulled the Washington hand
variety. Some people may think that Wash
ington should have kept right on crossing
the Delaware and freezing to death at Valley
Forge, instead of stopping to invent balky
printing press.
All this will go to explain why we still work
of the paper on the stationary press, when
we might have one which would be amply
competent to get up on the editorial tripod
and put its feet on the table. Some people
may prefer to have q press sitting around
the Office blowing about having more brains
than the editor, but we do not long for it.
Give us, rather, the simple society of the
hand press, which will not shy q. the cars,
and was never known to kick its hind feet
through the dashboard.-Estelline pak)

Their Search for the Beautiful.


Two Brooklyn girls in New York on
shopping expedition were the victims OF
Iaughable contretempts the other day.
Near fhe corner of Thirtieth street and
Broadway is a little shop conspicuously
elegant from the outside, undecorated by
any sign, and without a proprietor's name
on It's plate-glass front The windows are
adorned by suits of old armor, by busts,
statues, antiques, and silk-plush curtains;
through the door one catches an inviting
glimpse Of embroidered screens and plate
glass mirrors. In the innocence Of their
hearts they walked in to price some article
which caught their fancy, and before they
were we'll aware what manner Of place
their search for the beautiful had led them
into, they found themselves before carved
mahogony bar behind which the white
aproned attendants were briskly mixing
the morning cocktails for some overdressed
young dudes. The girls retreated precipi-
lately and quickly gained the street, VOW
ing they would never enter another un-
known shop in New York city. They had
learned, at the cost of experience and many
painful bushes, that gilded exterior
does not always indicate a Japanese store
or bric-a-brac shop.-New York Cor.
