Let the "BOsses" Go.

The number of outrageous appoint
ments made by the present admins
tration, especially through the post
office department, has been largely,
if not wholly through the "bosses. J"
The appointment of postmasters has
been farmed out. 1st to the Con-
gresham, who in turn, refers it to the
local or county bosses. The local
boss reports to the Congressman the
Congressman to the Department, and
the appointment is made. The result
of this is that the party is disgraced
by bad appointments, and the rank
and file are powerless. All remon-
strances are worthless. They may
file 10 affidavits Or 1900, as to that
matter, showing the utter unfitness of
the applicant, Or that he had been
dead for thousand years, the ap-
pointment is made all the same. The
congressman, with a few honorable
exceptions, listens to the "boss )"
who he thinks will be of the most use
to him, who will "set 'em up" the
best at the proper time. The county
"boss" follows the same rule. He
recommends the appointment of the
man that he can command, the man
who will take the poor innocent voter
into his back store and electioneer
him, Or will hitch up his horse and
beat the bush and drive the voters in
to attend the caucus that must be
manipulated so as to inure to his,
the bosses, advantage. He is look
ing to personal ends. He cares moth
ing about his friend that he recon-
mends, nor the people whose servant
he is to be. Neither does he care a
snap about his fitness. 1t is only his
ability to serve him. This is the
spoils system boiled down. This is
what defeated Cleveland. 1t is what
the great Republican party cannot
afford to do. Some other scheme
must be devised; something coming
nearer to the people. And the "bos-
ses" must go or the party suffer de-
feat at the hands of an indignant
constituency.

Ought to Soak His Head.

The Albany Sunday Press heads
a Rutland letter, "In the Nutmeg
State" There's brilliancy for you
About as much as the said Rutland
letter contains. 1t sets out as fol-
lows:
Albany and Troy politicians, who are
inclined to serve the people as Legislators,
should move to the Nutmeg State, which
just now is full of tourists from the big
cities of the Empire and Keystone states.
Quite few of the strangers one meets
upon the street are from Europe. These
people come to visit the granite works of
our war secretary, Hon. r. Proctor"
Evidently this writer is an importa-
ton of the fresh air variety, and the
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
tv to Animals should call him in at
once. While it might be possible, in
time, to teach him the difference be-
tween pine burr and nutmeg, it
would be downright cruelty to under
take to learn him to distinguish mar
BILE from granite. We quote two
more choice morsels:
"Honest John Wanamaker is looking

top today will go. The democrats will
make a strong nomination for state Off
GERS. They can win on this platform
Free hook, free line, free fishing, and Ii
cense."
OF course this first paragraph is
an absolute falsehood as scarcely that
number of postmasters has been ap-
pointed in Vermont under Wanama-
ker. As to the last it remains to be
seen, but, probably, before the peo-
pie of Vermont endorse such a plat
form wood will cease to grow and
water fail TO run,

Dubuque, Iowa, was invaded the
other evening by sand flies. A press
dispatch says: The morning news
paper and telegraph offices were COM
PEELED to close their windows and
doors to escape torture. These pests
spring from the sand along the river,
and are sometimes called sand flies.
They are about an inch long, with
broad wings, and spring into exist
ence in a few hours. After flying
about the lights for one night they
cease to exist. Along the levee the
buildings were covered SO thick with
them that nothing could be seen but a
writhing mass of insect life. In
many places along the street they
were three inches in depth where they
had fallen dead upon the pavement.
The stencil from their bodies was un-
hearable, and the health authorities
had several wagons employed in re-
lnoving the offensive mass.

Studious efforts are being made in
some quarters to give the impression
that Vermont farmers are all cup on
end" because they can't sell cider.
The farmers of Vermont are an in
telligent class and know that so long
as cider has to be sold, if at all, most
years, from a dollar to a dollar and a
half barrel that there is no money
in it; besides, their standard of NOR
ais will not permit them to be dis
gruntled because they cannot have
the privilege of making drunkards of
their sons and neighbors.

A press dispatch from Bismark,
Oak. of the 10Th, says: A wild, ter
rorizing scene was witnessed near the
Standing Rock Agency yesterday af-
ternoon, when thunder storm was
at its height. The lightning was dart
ing hither and thither, striking in nu-
merous spots near by, and the Indi-
ans rushed en- masse, bowling and
whooping in abject fright and super
stition, to the shelter of their wig
vans. At last a binding flash of
lightning, accompanied by a deafen-
ing clap of thunder, came from the
heavens and actually shook the earth.
The lightning struck wigwam few
rods below the agency in which were
huddled five terrified Indians, instant
lv killing White Horse and Black
Eagle and stunning another so that
he will not recover. The other two
were unconscious for many hours and
were restored after hard labor by
friends.

The emotional life Of the horse is re-
markable. There are instances on rec
ord where the death of the horse has
been traced directly to grief. One in
stance is called to mind which occurred
more than twenty years ago. A circus
had been performing in the little town
of Unionville, Pa, when one of the
trained horses sprained one of his legs
80 that he could not travel. He was
taken to the hotel and put in box stall.
The leg was bandaged and he was made
as comfortable as possible. He ate his
food and was apparently contented until
about midnight, when the circus began
moving out of town. Then he became
restless and tramped and whined. AS
the caravan moved past the hotel he
seemed to realize that he was being de-
serted, and his anxiety and distress be-
came pitiful. He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude of intense
listening, and then as his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he would
rush, as best he could with his injured
leg, from one side of the stall to the
other, pushing at the door with his nose
and making every effort to escape.
The stableman, who was a stranger to
him, tried to soothe him, but to no pur-
pose. He would not be comforted Long
after all sounds of the circus had ceased
his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him in streams and he q,riv-
cred in every part of his body. Finally
the stableman went to the house, woke
up the proprietor and told him he be-
ieved the horse would die if some of the
circus horses were not brought back to
keep him company. At about daylight
the proprietor mounted a horse and rode
after the circus He overlook it ten or
twelve miles away, and the groom who
had charge of the injured horse returned
with him. When they reached the stable
the horse was dead. The stableman said
that he remained for nearly an hour per-
fectly still and with every sense appar-
entity strained to the utmost tension and
then, without making sign, fell and
died with scarcely struggle.-Western
Sportsman.

How a Frog Utilities a Turtle.

At Heublein's restaurant on Mulberry
street large green turtle and frog are
inmates of the fountain tank. A frog
cannot always remain under water, and
there is no chance for the fellow in ques-
tion to reach a landing place on the side
of the tank. But he has discovered that
the top of the turtles back is out Of water
except when the turtle dives. So he
mounts the back and rides around the
tank with an air of owning the whole
business. When the turtle goes under
he swims around until the back comes to
the surface again, when heagain mounts
and continues the trip.-Hartford Cou-
rant.

Echoes from the Pres 5 l..

says that if the duty on salt were re-
pealed, the American salt trust
" could not exist day after the pas
sage of the repeating act" Perhaps

happens that there is large and pros
porous salt trust in free trade Eng

Boston Journal.
A Vermonter writes from South
Dakota saying that he thinks if he
was here, he would keep Vermonters
at home. Well, as Frank Pixley
says about the Jews, there are Yer
monters and Vermonters. Some we
do not care to have kept at home.
The West, Or Mexico, Or Africa
would suffer by their presence. Let
them "slide out" for their country's
good. There is another class of Ver-
monters that are preferable unto the
state in which they were born. They
made excellent citizens in the newer
states of the West. They give Ver-
mont a reputation that it cannot afford
to lose. We do not want any kept in
Vermont who are anxious to try their
fortunes elsewhere. What we do
want is more Vermonters of the gen.
uine stuff, so that we can fill our own
borders and all empty space besides.
Mortified News.
Much is said about the deserted
farms in Vermont. We don't believe
there are many deserted farms in Yer
mont. There are places where homes
once stood and only a mound or
cellar remains. But the farms are
there and somebody occupies them.
The houses first built decayed or burn
ed up. Newcomers preferred to live
in some village and either carry on
the farm from distance or rent it to
occupants of adjacent farms or have
sold them piecemeal. Let any inno-
cent, unsuspecting "feller" come
along and squat down on one of these
vacant farms, and he would soon re-
ceive notice to "move ou." High
ways have changed and several things
may have happened to affect the ex-
ternal appearance of old homesteads,
but they have not been abandoned.
They offer excellent pasturage, or
timber for another generation is grow
ing upon them. We are bad enough
off in this state but not so bad as
some thing, for the state is SMALL
