burned. Insured for $3.50.

FOUR BRAVE GIRLS.

This is how four young Southern
girls have carried the responsibilities
of life. -Four years ago their father,
Mr.. j. Withers Clay, editor and
owner of the Huntsville { Ala. } DEM
ocrat, was stricken with paralysis.
The youngest daughter, Elodie, was
a clerk in the postotfice. The eldest
devoted her time to the care of her
father. Mr.. Clay had been given up
by the physicians, who said he had
only few days to live. Miss Mary,
herself an invalid, tried massage and
all the advanced methods of treat
ment. She made study of the sub
ject, and devoted herself entirely to
her father. The results have been
that Mr.. Clay has partially recover
ed. He is able to walk and to un-
uCl Stduu Nudt 10 Sditi W LllD.
he cannot write or speak and Mary
has grown strong and well. The 9TH
er two girls, Virginia and Susie,
bravely took charge of the paper.
Hiss Virginia had some trouble at
first with the employees, who thought
that they could do as they pleased
now that girl was at the head of af-
fairs; but she speedily brought order
out of chaos. She discharged those
who were rebellious, reorganized the
office, did everything when necessary,
from writing the whole paper to set
ting type, and then went out as col
lector. She is said to have collected
debts that no man could have collect
ed, and she and her sister have made
the Huntsville Democrat success.

When states like Iowa and Ohio
elect Democratic governors, and the
Republican candidate in Massachu-
setts comes out of the contest with less
than 5000 plurality, it is evident that
screw is loos some where.
Now where or what is it?
Is it the tariff?
No! That is nonsensical.
Then what?
If we consult the press, now that
the smoke of the contest is dissipated,
we will be enlightened about after
this fashion:
"Bracket, who squeaked through
in Massachusetts, was not a popular
candidate with the better element Of
the party"
Then why was he nominated?
so, it was the work of the bosses.
Then the people didn't nominate
him?
80, no. 1t was the work of the
wire-pulling fraternity"
And in Ohio?
so, the people got at outs with
Foraker, and more so still with the
third term idea. This rendered the
ticket unsavory."
Indeed Then the people didn't
nominate him, either?
"This also was the work of the ma
chine"
How was it in Iowa?
1.-The same conditions prevailed.
The candidate held rrilroad notions
that were considered adverse to the
farming interests. This alienated a
large class"
O, ho So then here too the bos-
ses guided the chariot whose wheels
were mircd in the political quicksands.
Now what is the moral to all this?
Why simply this and nothing more:
There are just as many Republi-
cans now as there were year ago,
and when the party gets around a
gain, as it must, to fight for princi-
piles, they will be on deck with ballots
in their hands. But whenever prin-
ciples are deserted for spoils and the
manipulators are allowed to name
candidates enough honest Republi-
cans will rise up to rebuke them.
Then let the bosses go!
Therein lies salvation

Mr.. Editor: / was much pleased
the other day in looking over your pa
per. 1t brought to my mind pleasant
recolections of twenty-five years ago,
when for two years | was a resident
of your town and my husband work
ed for his uncle, the late Allen How
ard, as he called his name. | sup
pose there are quite number of the
old residents that have passed away.
Judge Arnold was one of the first
business men of the place. Was glad
to see the name of aunt Mary Hay
ward, also Barnet Wait. He was
one of the star actors in our dramatic
entertainments we gave at that time,
and there are others in my mind.
Danl. Davis who would do the ban
dts part to perfection, and Glib Par
ker the comical genius, and others to
numerous to mention. While the ba-
bies have grown to he men of busi-
ness, Fred Parker and Charlie Hay

to the old friends there, as well as to
us here. send greeting to them all,
and hope to meet them once again.

A little while ago the Montpelier
Argus announced that the Bradford
Savings Bank was in an unsound
condition owing to the operations Of
its treasurer. The Bradford Opinion
pronounces the whole story piece of
malicious mendacity, and gives the
facts and figures to prove it. The
Opinion in setting out makes the fol-
lowing apology:
"We owe an apology to our read
ers for even alluding to anything that
the Argus and Patriot of Montpelier
may print. Heretofore we have sub
mitted to all kinds of abuse and SLAM
der at its hands. The editor, Hiram
Atkins, had forfeited all claims to
journalistic courtesy or even decency
years before we entered the field of
journalism in Vermont. He had
been compelled, at the point of the
bayonet, to cheer the flag of his
country, and to retraot vile slander
under the sting of the lash. He was
known to be an arrant coward and
blackmailer the friend and cajoler
of the rich and powerful, the enemy
of the poor and weak who were una
BILE to defend themselves from his
malicious assaults. Can we be Gen.
sured for feeling unwilling to enter
into controversy with man with such
reputation well founded. Scores
of times has he threatened to use the
whole influence of his paper not only
against individuals but communities,
for the sole purpose of bulldozing
them into his servile support. This
is brief history of Atkins, the head
of the paper referred to. The sane
style of people he chooses for assis-
tant editors and correspondents. !"
1t is well that the Opinion is not a
Windham county paper, for some of
its leading politicians and postoffie
brokers are mighty "sweet" on
Hiram.

sneaks who profess to be moved by
virtuous impulses to "mould public
opinion" for the good of their fel-

in social, but more often in tinan-
cial way, shrink from disclosing their

Newspaper Independence.
From the Hardwick Gazette.

FROM the darQWlck OaZetIe.
The very obvious movement in
journalism toward political independ-
ence is one of the most gratifying
signs of the present time. The day
of the subservient newspaper organ is
rapidly waning. The people are dis
covering that newspaper thatis tied,
neck and heels, and owned by po-
litical party is not newspaper in the
proper sense of the word. If it can
not be trusted to tell the truth and
state facts as they are, regardless of
political rings and affiliations, no hon
est, self-respecting citizen has any
use for it. When a man is content
to waive his common sense, and right
and power TO form an opinion for HIM
self, then he will be satisfied with an
organ, otherwise the organ will soon
have passed away.

party want to hug such delusion to
their bosoms Republicans should not
