Dry.

Some consumers OH the aqueduct
lines living in the highest portions of
the village are put to serious incOnven-
fence by those who persist in using
lawn sprinklers and letting their fOun-
tains run as usual, after having been
requested by both aqueduct companies
to refrain from using water only for
domestic purposes until the drouth is
relieved by rains: 'FDo as you would
be done by" would seem to be a-gOod
passage to read over occasionally.

STATES ATTORNEY.
The Talk About the various Candid.

The Talk About the Various Candidates
A breezy time is promised in thil
county over the contest for the Office
of states attorney. There are three
candidates in the field, Alex. Dunnett,
the republican nominee, Elisha May
the democratic and w. P. Stafford the
prohibitOry. There is no use in deny
ing the fact that Mr.. Dunnett is not a
satisfactory candidate to all the tenn
perance republicans. His ability is
not questioned but the feeling prevails
that he is not at all in sympathy with
the prohibitory law and would not
work faithfully for it's execution.
Whether true or not this feeling is so
general that there are some republi-
cans who declare their intention of
scratching his name when voting time
comes.
Mr.. May seems likely to poll the full
democratic strength. He has filed
the position once before with accept
ance and is a temperance man. The
talk on the street before the prohibitO-
ry convention was that the third party
folks would nominate Mr.. May and it
seemed more than likely that the COM
bined democrats and prohibitionists
would gather to themselves a suffice Mt
number of republicans to carry the
day. But the prohibitionists didn't
fall in and now the contest becomes
triangular. The republicans don't like
Mr.. Mays mugwump prOclivities and
associations, to say nothing of his be-
ing nominated by the democrats, but
some of them declare that they will
give him their support.
The third factor in the case is the
new third party with its nominee, w.
P. Stafford. Mr.. Stafford is we'll
known as clean, square young man
who commands the esteem and respect
of the people. His name was men,
toned in open convention at the time
the republicans put Mr.. Dunnett in
nomination and it was at that time
thought by some that had he allowed
it to. stand he and not Mr.. Dunnett
would have been the republican can
didate, but the nominating committee
having presented Mr.. Dunnett's name,
Mr.. Stafford refused to allow his name
to be used and, in accepting the pro-
hibitiOnist nomination renounced all
allegiance to the republican party. The
republicans are very much incensed
with Mr.. Stafford's action and many of
them declare that he is politically dead
and will never receive their support
for any Office whatever. But Mr.. Stat
ford has no notion of withdrawing
from his position and is already max
ing preparations to stump the county
under the direction of the prOhibitory
committee, and he will undoubtedly
get a good many republican votes.
How much all this talk will amount
to when the time comes to vote nobody
knows but we imagine that Mr.. Dun
nett is not very nervous over the final
result.

Ta--In it's notice of the death of j. Y
Green of Newport, the Express says
that while laying stone wall on his
lot last May Mr.. Green strained his
knee which became badly swollen and
was not reduced until his whole sys-
tenn was affected with a species OF
blood poisoning. In this condition he
fingered, gradually growing weaker
until death came to his relief last week
Wednesday. He was born in Barn
ston, P. O., and began his business ca
reer as a druggist at st. Johnsbury at
the age of %. He remained here
about seven years, then went to New
port and opened his drug store. He
was for many years leading member
in the Methodist church and Sunday
school, and in musical matters. His
death is a severe blow to his family
and friends and the latter include a
large circle.

Now, there ie no such relation between capi-

condition OF hired laborer. Both these asgumD-

groundless. Labor is prior to and independents

"Labor is the superior of capital and deserves
much the higher consideration. Capital has its
rights, which are as worthy Of protection as any
other rights; nor is it denied that there is. and
probably always will be, relation between cap

Mr.. BEEoHER's characterization of the
Democratic party as "a double-eared ass" de-
spite its unquestioned verisimilitude, has
raised the ire of number Of those who have
hitherto regarded the great preacher with
feelings of partiality. And yet no one has
seriously attempted to prove the Plymouth
divine wrong. There are Democrats in Indi-
ana who, we believe. would be willing to back
Dir. Beecher, if his words are to be taken as
applicable to the President.
