Vote for Gen. Grout.

There is no man who can say that
Gen. w. W. Grout has not made
most efficient and faithful member
of congress. He has been dlligent
in all directions where the welfare
of his constituents has demanded it;
he has been faithful in his labors
for all bills and measures which had
to do with the interests of Vermont,
and has championed several meas
ures that commend themselves to the
good judgment of all bipartisan leg
islators in congress and all honest
men everywhere. He was nomina-
ted for the next term of congress
by the most hearty expressions of
favor and will, probably, receive as
great majority in the election to
come, as any man who will be
sent to congress from districts where
votes are honestly counted. We
hope his county and his town, es-
pecially, will do him deserved honor
by casting an unusually large vote
for him at the September election.

Unfortunate Selections.

The democratic papers are indus
triously circulating a statement to
the effect that the Standard Oil
Trust, the Pacific Railroad Ring, the
Sugar Trust, the Cotton Seed Oil
Trust, the Coal Ring, Jay Gould,
ETC., are call for Harrisonr" This
is an unfortunate selection. Sem
ator Payne, that eminent Ohio dem
ocrat, is a conspicuous member of
the Standard Oil Trust, and his SON
in-law, Mr.. Whitney, is Mr.. Cleve-
lands Secretary of the Navy. MI.
Thurman made his reputation in part,
as counsel for the Pacific railroads.
Mr.. Havemeyer, the head of the
| Sugar Trust, was deferentially con-
suited by the Mills committee, and
the sugar schedule modified to suit
him. He is a generous contributor
to the democratic campaign funds.
The Cotton Seed Oil Trust is only 9
a branch of the Standard Oil Trust
OF the Coal Ring, congressman Scott
of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Cleveland
lieutenant, is one of the wealthiest
and most conspicuous representa-
tives. As to Jay Gould, he has de
clared himself for Cleveland. The
democratic papers seem to have made
rather unfortunate selections for thei
list, on the whole. If they are going
into this kind of thing as part o
their intellectual and educationa
campaign, they should struggle t.
compile list which will not act IL
this boomerang style.

Recently there arrived in New
York three large steamers laden with
rice from Japan. We have always
received large amounts of rice from
Patna in India, and Rangoon, Bur-
NAH. japanese rice is the sweetest
and richest in the world, but its chief
expectation heretofore has been to
Great Britain. Now the politicians
tell us that we can not or do not
raise all the wool we need in this
country, hence foreign wool should
be imported free of duty. If the
same argument be applied to rice, that
important food product would FIND
its place on the free list. But no
foreign rice pays one hundred pei
cent duty under the Mills tariff-woo
has no protection Sugar pays sixty
eight per cent duty on the foreign ar
ticle-wool has no protection Is thi
Justice to northern and southern
farmers alike?

After Two Months.

General Harrison in every respect
is stronger candidate to-day than
he was when nominated two months
ago. His record as a gallant soldier
in the field, distinguished leader of
the Indiana bar, and sagacious leg
islator with an honorable and useful
career in the United States senate is
without a flaw, crease or wrinkle.
The Democratic press has had leisure
to scrutinize his speeches and public
acts and to ascertain whether he had
ever done or said anything which
could be used against him in presi-
Dental canvass. Feeble attempts to
convict him of inconsistency in his
record on the Chinese question, of
hostility to the interests of working
men during the labor riots of 1877,
and of contemptuous disregard of the
principles of Civil Service reform
have been abandoned as soon as
make. Defamation has recoiled at
once upon the defamers, and only
served to prove that General Harri-
sons reputation is invulnerable- Eight
weeks have passed, and our friends
the enemy have nothing to say
against him. They can only repeat
the silly fling with which he greeted
his nomination that he is the grand
son of his grandfather, as if 1t were
anything against him that an earlier
Harrison should have won the battle
of Tippecanoe and the tariff canvass
of 1910, or that a still earlier Harrl-
son should have signed the Declara-
ton of Independence.
The republican leader is not only q
strong candidate from his unblemish-
ed reputation and his honorable career
as a soldier and statesman, but he Is
also man of intellectual resources
and sagacious judgment. Since his
nomination he has made as many az
eighty speeches in Indianapolis in an
, swer to congratulatory addresses, ant
he has invariably left a Favorable
impression upon the delegations wh'
have listened to him and upon the
: larger audience in the country which
: has attentively followed his words
f General Harrison does not comml
his speeches to memory and repea
f them after the presidents mechanics
y fashion. He is an effective extern
a poraneous speaker, with a good com
Il mand of language, and the rare tai
! ent of striking at-the core of ever

one-eighth of its sheep. Five years
of free wool will cut off from a third
to half of its locks. No one can
gain by such a change. English be-
lief in President Cleveland's free-trade
has already discounted the repeal of
our duty on wool. Were the duty re-
pealed, and It will not be until the
next appeal il taken 70 the polls, the
price of wool in The markets OF the
world, the wilderness To which Mr..
Mills sends us to seek men dressed in
free wool, would rise, and the price
of wool i'm our inland market, where
the American farmer sells it., would
lRfall. He would be handicapped by
high railroad freights in reaching the
manufacturer and his rival wool-grow-
er under the southern cross and the
British colonial flag would be helped
by cheap ocean freights. This will
not pay. Consumer and producer
will lose alike. The worlds supply
of wool cannot be cut down by our
own share, third or fourth on the list
of great W ool-growers, without an adj
vance in wool and wooden goods.
Railroad freights will deprive our
farmer of this advance. He will lose
a crop which in new states paves the
way for costlier and more profitable
crops, land in older states supplements
them. We have had for one
decade (l85O to 1900 something
like free wool, and in that decade our
focks stood still. Under protection
they have increased enormously. This
is the issue before the land. 1t can
continue a policy under which it has
diversified farming, and therefore
made it safe and profitable, and at
the same time made wooden clothing
cheap, or it can return to a policy
under which, while wool is dear, it
does not pay the American farmer to
raise it. We do not fear a vote on
this issue which the democratic party
has raised and by which it will fall

any of them postmaster folks tamperin with
that ere postle.' There was ayoung fellow in
the neighborhood that recall whose parents
when he was an urchin didn't dream of him
as a possible President of the United States,
which kind of dream by the way is very
common to the American parent, as they
pat the boyish heads of their scions. The
youth in question however didn't cause any
such imaginngs to arise in the paternal

with two postal cards in his hand. There

postals with which to mitten 'Marier, one
being the continuation of the other. Well

About two years ago Mr.. Clark lockwood
received severe sprain of the ankle which
resulted in disease of those parts necesstat-
inga removal of the foot, but the disease
continued to spread and a little over year
ago he went to the Maine General Hospital
where he suffered an amputation half way
between the knee and ankle. He has had
repeated operations since then for Assesses
and diseased tissue by the Hospital Surgeons.
The leg seemed to be better during the fall
and winter, but about five weeks ago the
Knee commenced to trouble him becoming so
swollen and painful that he could not move it.
Tuesday DR.. Croker was called and assisted
py Drs. Frederick and Giddings and his two
students Andrews and Croker amputated the
ieg half way between the knee and hip. He
also opened large abscess about six inches
IN length leading from the thigh into the alb
oomen. Wednesday the patient was very
comfortable and doing even better than wal
anticipated.

ceeded in stopping him. Sitting down in

arrived on the scene. At first the dog doubt

that he was the legitimate owner, he quickly
rotted back to his domicile.

means that they shall work side by side 1t
would doubtless be strange spectacle to
wondering angels to look in upon Us here
trying to formulate some plan for coming
together and working side by side in the
work that lies before US. We see a truth
through our spiritual apprehension with
which God has endowed Us. But for two
points we might became Methodists and Con-
gregationalists. Stifle and gag men and you
may keep them under the rule of one sect,
but give them the opportunity to think for
themselves and they will form opinions par
taking some what of individuality. The sect
however must not allow the individuality to
pass over into eccentricity. One may be so
dreadfully independent as to stand alone and
thus count for nothing
We must be mindful of the law of proper
ton. Let US discriminate widely bet veen
christian and heather, as between protestant
ism and catholicism Their divergence in many
points should stimulate the protestants
to comfy of feeling. Liberalism too has its
ievotees. They say educate man to save
him. We say get the word poison out of his
being beforehand. So far as we meet liberal
ism it works as a neutralizer, however much
