Whose Money Is IT?

This question has been asked before
and the time has come to ask it again.
Some four or five hundred copies of
the Rutland Telegram were distributed
in the st. Johnsbury postofficc Mon
day, and numerous other copies of the
same paper have been received here
and i'll other parts of the state at differ
ent times during the past month. As
no one in st. Johnsbury can have any
direct interest in Mr.. Sheldon's contest
for the Rutland county senatorship, it
being something with which Caledonia
county voters have nothing whatever
to do, the question naturally arises,
why are these papers being sent broad
cast over the state at this time? One
needn't look further than the editorial
columns of the Telegram for solution
of the problem. Here are some of the
editorial heads: Republican opinion
in the West" on Senator Edmmds'
career; "Scnators as attorneys in the
United States courts; )" "Funeral re-
marks over the political remains of
George +. Edmunds;" ETC., etc., every
editorial article being all attack on
Vermont's senator.
The question as to whose money has
brought into Vermont the new New
York editor of the Telegram as well as
the other one as to whose money is
paying for printing and distributing
over the state these campaign sheets,
remain unanswered. 1t is a severe
comment on the other two or three
anti-Edmunds sheets in Vermont as
well as on the cause itself that cham
pion from distant state must be
brought in to bolster up tie anti-Ed-
munds cause. But you are too late,
gentlemen.-[St. Johnsbury Caledoni-

IT HAS COME!

Last week we published this prophet
ic paragraph:
1--WE are told that the men who work in
Fuller's shops say they always tremble when
Levi boasts that he has given anything away,
for they know from experience that cut down
in their wages will soon follow. In this way
Levi gets the credit and they foot they bills.
This is good forLevi, but bad for them
The ink was hardly dry on the type
upon which the above paragraph was
printed when we received note from
one of Lewis shopmen, saying:
The axe has fallen, as we expected it would,
and we have received notice that our pay is
cut down about twelve per cent, We knew,
when we saw that Fuller had given away some
money, just what was coming, but hoped for 4
little mercy, at least until after election. 1t is
mighty hard, when most Of us are earning or
ly just enough to keep the heads of ourselves
and families above water, to have our wages
cut down in this way, without an hours war
ming, and when our employers say that their
business was never more active and driving.
But we have to stand it, for the power is in
their hands.
Freemen of Vermont, this is the man
who is asking for your votes to make
him acknowledgements, and what is
less understandable, he is the man whom
the republican State convention of YER
mont put in nomination for that office
Ring rule, Free Passes and political
bosses have brought us to this. Re-
member this when you 90 to vote.

A Fearful Accident on
the Narrow Gauge.
The Mixed Train goes through
the Iron Bride across
West River.
Two Persons Killed and three
or more Badly Injured.

The mixed train going down yesterday
met with fearful accident, about 3
O'Clock, at the West River Bridge, one
and half miles this side of Brattlcboro.
The bridge, which is an iron structure
gave away the main span and the tres
sic span on this side going down carry
ing the entire train with it. Engineer
Herman Smith was instantly killed.
Ned Prentiss, reman, and Thos.
Burns, head brakeman, mirac ulously
escaped without injury. Conductor, j.
ID. Worthcn and 4Hike Corners, each
receiveda broken leg. Fortunately the
passenger car, containing or 8 passen-
gers, went through the trcssle span and
did not have so far to fall. j. j. Green
station agent at Newfanc was fatally
injured aud died at o'cl ock last night.

AT 10 o'clock this morning the body

cred, it lying under the engine in the
river. The company have no engine on

REPUBLICAN,.


The Smithites and Atkins Democrat IS
have loudly denied that there was any
plan on foot to unite the -Edmunds
republicans and the trading democrats
in electing members of the legislature
to oppose Edmunds and vote for Smith.
The swearing Gibbs and the pious,
canting Dixon have earnestly protested
with one accord that they would have
nothing to do with any unholy demo-
cratic coalition, but would fight it out
against Edmunds inside the republican
party. OF course nobody believed
them, because there was positive evil
dence to the contrary. More than a
year ago a close alliance, offensive and
defensive, was formed between Gov.
Smith and his republican strikers, on
the one hand, and the democratic Hes
slams under Hiram Atkins, on the other,
and from that time forward they have
been working in perfect accord. The
lying statements and deceiving argu-
ments put forth against Senator Ed
munds have been precisely the same,
whether in democratic or republican
mouths or newspapers, and all have
been inspired by the great Boss at st.
Adams. As the election approaches,
however, and the howlers become more
desperate, their caution and slyness is
deserving them, and one Of the conspi-
rators has at length spoken right out in
open meeting and fully admitted the
soft impeachment. The Rutland Elk
press, of last week, new democratic
paper, has this paragraph:
''The issue has been made and caJ,
no longer be avoided, and the crisis has
come. 1t is either the return of Geo
+. Edmunds or the election of John
Gregory Smith to the United States
Senate. The voice of the
people proclaims John Gregory Smith
as the man whom Vermont wants and
needs"

Letters from the People,


Editor SV}er:-In the telephone
conversation between Col. Hooker and
Levi Fuller which You printed last
week, these sentences occur:
Lepi 800 you suppose it (the sIrrER)
knows anything abont that Col Franklin job
in 1873. You know what mean3n
Hooker, "There is no use of worrying over
that, The General yndeO"is dead, and
there is no one left to tell the story"
Now there arc lots of people who
would like to know just what that "Col.
Franklin job" was in 1873, and neither
Col. Hooker nor Col. Franklin can af-
ford to keep silence about it, either.
There was evidently something "rotten
in Denmark" in 1878, and no honorable
man can afford to have his name mixed
up with it. "Tcll the TRUTH"

Going to use the mcneil.

When J. l.. Martin introduced tie railroad
commission resolution at the state convention,
itseemed clear that he and his party were strong
railway commission men. But when Governor
Smith furnished Col. Fuller and his friends
with special train to come home, and consid-
ering the fact that Mr. Martin is the retained
attorney Of the Central Vermont railroad COM
pacy in Windham county, it looked as if there
was ''nigger in the fence" and that he show
ed his big teeth. Let us farmers vote for the
best man, and if the democrats have put up a
man who dares defy the railroad company and
Governor Smith included, who will decline to
ride on a free pass, for one, although have
never yet voted the democratic ticket, pre- pose
this year to vote with the democrats. | hope
the farmers will all vote for the best man,
whether he belongs to the republican or dem
ocratic party. l propose to carry little pen
Gil with me to town meeting next September,
and use it in scratching out and writing other
names on the tickets that l vote, although
am what is called
REPUBLICAN.
We clip the above from the Rural
Vermonter and have this to say: Levi
Fuller rides on Gov. Smiths free pass,
and belongs to that crowd body, soul
and brooches. He is for railroad COM
mission bill just as Martin is, that is,
one the old boss will approve, and he
will SO constitute the senate railroad
committe, if he can. That pencil idea
is good one and ought. to be extern
siveIy practiced.

Is turned to the skin. of the animal and

For Farmers.

A very remarkable incident in the
history of the original Bush Messenger
illustrates that though abuse may seem
to, it does not wholly destroy the better
nature, and that one touch of kindness
calls into life all the old virtues. Yeas
after he was sold Mr.. Bush determined
tc see his old favorite, whom he found
kept in pasture surrounded by a fence
ten feet high, through hole in which
the food and water were passed to Mess
enger as if he were "a dangerous con-
Wet" Mr.. Bush was warned not to
enter the Enclosure for his very life. but
he went in and, unobserved, concealed
himself behind a tree and whistled.
With neigh the grand old fellow came
bounding across the field in search OF
the source of the well-remembered
| whistle. The horse raced around the
pasture, and when at the height Of his
run Mr.. Bush exposed himself and
whistled again. Messenger wheeled and
made directly for him, while the on-look-
ers trembled in terror. But instead Of
seeking to kill, the horse came 10 gen
tly and laid his head over his old mas
ter's shoulder to receive the customary
caress. When Mr.. Bush's time for de
parture had come, he had proceeded hut
few yards from the Enclosure when
there was crash, and out Messenger
came, bounding through the strong bars.
He followed his former owner to the
stable gently, where he was scared by
strong ropes, and for long, long distance
upon the road homeward Mr. Bush could
hear the noble animal neighing, lashing
the stall and struggling to be free and
follow. 1t is good thing for man to
be master of his horse, but to be master
of bis affections is an absolutely noble
thing.--Wallace's Monthly.

on shelves exposed to the air and sun.
They are inspected every day and as
they open are placed in baskets, taken

are sent straight to Europe.
