The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-07-21

WE take the following from the Brat
tleboro correspondence of the SPRING
field Republican:
A rumor from the north part of the state
credits Colonel George w. Hooker with
longings for General CIRCUITS congressional
seat The same authority says that the
colonel relies upon a still-hunt campaign
and that there are reasons for suspecting
that CIRCUITS friends, relying upon their
candidates sure success, will be out-gen-
eraled in the caucuses unless they keep
their eyes open. However much there may
be to such rumor, it is known that some of
Hooker's friends are watching for favorable
developments, and that they are in hopes
something may occur to bring their man to
the front. 1t is not probable that Hooker
can defeat Grout and there are no outward
indications, further than what comes from
rumor, that he seriously contemplates try
ing. Grout seems to be sure of reelection.
Information has reached us from va
rious sources that Colonel Hooker is a
candidate, and that his friends are en-
gagged in "still-hunt campaign" If
there is to be contest between Cen
eral Grout and Colonel Hooker the re-
publicans of the district will want to
know something definite about it be-
fore the caucuses are held.

the developments. The Manchester
Union remarks, and with much force:


A senator or representative who has
taken large fee from a corporation cannot
act with perfect independence on pending
legislation affecting the material interests
of the corporate institution. You may talk
about men being honest and all that, but
there will be bias, even though the indi-
vidual is unconscious. Then, again, why
are such liberal retainers paid to congress-
men? They can't earn them except in a
way that is not in harmony with their pub
lie duties. These retainers are much larger
than those paid to other counsel Of equal, II
not superior, ability, and cannot be paid for
value received in a clearly legitimate way.
Whatever may be the fate of the
pending legislation, the agitation of the
subject is likely to do some good, and
ultimately it may result in breaking up
a scandalous practice.

might be practicable to obtain in one
state it might be impracticable to pro-
cure in another state; but that where it
is not expedient to secure whole loaf
it is better to take the half loaf than
none at all. The resolutions adopted
by the anti-saloon conference of re-
publicans in Boston, last week, express
no opinion on the practicability or i'm
practicability of constitutional prohibit
ton, but taking the ground that the
question is one which the people should
be allowed to settle for themselves,
they endorse the proposition to submit
such an amendment to the popular vote.
In speech on the question, General
Swift argued that "the fear and the
caution that this is an unwise political
move, because we may thereby lose
some votes, must be met with the idea
that we are in the right and that we
must not refuse to take a proper for
ward step on account of such fear.
Our rights are life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, and the life has no
higher aim, liberty no wider field, than
to take the proper measures to secure
happiness"
The chairman of the conference, Hon.
Robert r. Bishop, declared that he did
not believe that the republican party
would fulfill its purposes until it had
dealt with the liquor question in the
same spirit, and with the same instinct,
with which it has COPIED with and
moulded the questions of the past
Mr.. John L. Smith said: 3" We do not
propose a perfect remedy, because we
do not know what perfect remedy isl
but he advocated all practicable restric-
tive legislation. Probably this position
will not suit the radical prohibitionists
who are determined that the evils of
the traffic shall be cured by no remedy
but their own, and if they are denied
the privilege of applying it, or if it fails,
then the evils must continue. Never
theless, it is useless for the republican
party to assume any stronger ground on
the question in many states unless it
proposes to invite sure defeat. In Ver-
mont, Maine, Iowa, Kansas and per-
haps a few other states, it might be
perfectly safe for the republican party
to endorse prohibition in its most alb
solute sense. But in every state the
party should go as far as may be done
with safety in the advancement of the
anti-saloon principle. Such position
would satisfy all reasonable friends of
prohibition. We must accept the stu
alton as we find it. The republican
party in any state can honorably and
wisely go as far in their support of pro-
hibition measures as they feel assured
will be adequately sustained by public
sentiment and votes, but where they
cannot take advanced ground on the
question without risking certain defeat,
a more conservative course should be
followed, for it will be admitted that
prohibition has nothing to gain and
everything to lose by the success of the
democratic party.

LAKELAND, FLA, Aug, 17.-This flour
Ishirg little town is not more than three

cradle Importance, being situated in
a fine country, at the junction Of
two important systems of rail-
roads. The town presents quite pleas

Surprises the Churchmen.


Surprises the Churchmen.
AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. 1.-THE trial OF
DR.. Woodrow before the Augusta Pres
bytery at Bethany excited great interest,
and crowds were daily IN attendance.
The testimony has closed, and DIR. Will
liam Adams, of Augusta, presented the
argument for the prosecution, holding
that the teachings of DR.. Woodrow were
in conflict with the doctrines OF the
church, as set forth in the catechism in
the confession OF faith, and that DR.. Wood
row must change to the opinions de-
duced by the church by the
Interpretation Of scriptures or
step down and out. DR.. Woodrow
replied at great length, explaining the
theories held by him, and the distinct re-
latlon between his teachings and the
church doctrines, and most ably defended
himself against the charges preferred.
On the final vote at Bethany tonight
thirteen voted not guilty and nine voted
guilty on the first count in the indict-
ment; on the other count the majority In
DR.. Woodrow's favor was larger. DR..
Adams, conducting the prosecution, at
once gave notice of an appeal to the Sy-
nod at sparta in October.

DENVER, COL, Aug. 17.-Jas. Fenton

thirteen miles from Aspen, and had en-
ployed Michael Ryan to work for him.
sunday morning they began cutting hay.
Burrows warned the men not to cut nay,
as he would certainly not perm 1t
them to finish the work. Fenton laughed
at Burrows, and the latter turned and
went away. In about an hour Fenton
and Ryan, who had continued at work,
were shot in their backs, the former
through the spine and abdomen. The
shooting was done from ambush with
Winchester rifles. The men lived Six
hours and before dying declared that
Burrows and ''Doc" White did the shoot

accounts Burrows was still at large,

RELIEF FOR FIRE SUFFERERS

Building of Houses and Financial
Aid Proposed in Wisconsin.
OCoNTO, WIS. Aug. 1.-THE measures
proposed for the relief OF the sufferers by
the oonflagrations include the erection OF
houses, furnishing them plainly and Civ
ing a supply of fuel, food and clothing
for the coming winter. Then, in the
spring, they will need seed, and some OF
athem horses. Fortunately but few OF the
farmers have lost their horses and cattle,
although many of the latter are suffering
from burned hoofs. 1t is estimated that
it will cost 500 head for men, women
and children to support them until har-
vest time next year. In Bellevue, Depere
and Lawrence townships the burned out
families probably number twenty
seven, while in Pittsfeld, Suamico and
Howard townships there are about sixty
families who will need more or less assist
anoa.

amount thus saved for interior decoration,
at the same time improving, as the trus.
tees believe, the general design OF the
structure. The question of the security
OF the foundation has nothing to do with
the change in design, as has been stated.
