PRESS COMMENTS.

Frank Hatton, editor Washington
Post, and ex-Postmaster General,
says: 1.-The newspaper that will out
rank all others in the future will be
the one that absolutely gives all the
news in its columns, regardless OF
politics. We do not see such a paper
now
Where Republican Strength Lies.
The mugwump papers are disturb
ed because Senator EdmundS had
some fun" with Senator VOORHEES, of
Indiana, the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash" last week, when the latter
introduced a resolution calling for in
formation from the department of
justice as to why w. W. Dudley
hasn't been indicted for the blocks
of five" letter. Mr. Edmunds ex-
posed, in his dry, merciless way, the
sham of the democratic show of hor-
ror over the suspicion of political
crookedness, and he made even the
democrats laugh when he defined the
true democratic doctrine as free
ballot and a fair count-in every
state where they can be had with
safety" The Voorhees, resolution
was amended in a form suggested by
Mr.. Edmunds, and as finally adopt
ed it calls for information as to the
action of the department of justice i'll
the Dudley case, and for copies of all
correspondence. The charges against
Dudley are too serious to be passed
overlightly. If he is guilty he should
be convicted and punished. The only
strength of the republican party lies
in taking decided ground for the
right in every case like this Brat
tleboro Phoenix.
"Listen to NY Tale of Woe"
The Hardwick Gazette thinks Col.
Hooker's advice to young men to run
for office is most evil and deplorable,
and in turn advises them to keep out
of that nonsense and make a home
for themselves. This is excellent adj
vice and when we come to think of
the poor men of our state, who are
not old if they are not young, who
are holding the offices and struggling
along against poverty our honest
heart is sad. Think of them for a
moment. Our delegation in Con
gress, budding themselves up in one
room in ten cent lodging house and
breathing the same malarial air of
Washington night after night; Gov.
Dillingham; eking out subsistence
at Waterbury, where the weather is
always the coolest or the hottest Ton
authority of associated press dis
patches; y Lieut.-Gov. Woodbury. af
ter his long days of manual labor
returning to his 7x9 cottage and fall
ing into tranquil slumber after read
ing the political signs of the times by
a tallow dip; State Treasurer Dubois
working early and late as a bank
janitor and with only the states
surplus for a pillow at night; ex-
State Inspector of Finance Page
grinding tan bark through the day
and going to his little cot at night
only to dream of the hides he expects
to tan next summer; and poor far
mer Hooker with his pants tucked in
his boots waiting for the office that
never came. The picture of poverty
is a sad one and we will not prolong
it. Boys don't run for Office Bur
lington Clipper.

Another Death in the Hoyf Family.
Jasper w. Hoyt, the fourth victim
in one family, died of diphtheria Jan.
16. He was 81 years old. 1t lacked
but two days of being a month since
the grandfather died at the advanced
age of nearly 90 years. Although he
died quite suddenly it was not sup
posed to be from any contagious dis
ease. A few days after his death a
grandson, Seth, was taken with
diphtheria and died Dec 80 A day
later Seth's father, Hubbard Hoyt,
was taken with the disease and died
Jan. 5. At the time of the fathers
death another son, Jasper, was i'll,
but was thought to be doing well for
several days afterwards; but he died
as above stated on Thursday last.
There YET remains of this family the
mother and two younger children,
about II and six years of age, who
have not been i'll and are reported
well at this writing. 1t is a very sad
case, and it adds to its sadness to
feel that the sick had not proper care,
SO fearful is almost every one of the
disease There are no other cases of
the disease in the neighborhood nor
have there been any This fatality
occurred in a farmhouse mile west
of Passumpsic village and with no
near neighbors.
Since the above was in type cor
respondent sends many particulars.
some of which are partially covered
in the above and some are not. He
writes that great difficulty was en-
countered in getting help and a
nourse, and the whole family might
have died had it not have been for
the assistance of Wilbur Nelson, Mr.
Hoyt's son-in-law, who staid
throughout the whole sickness. Hub
bard HOyt, though man of many
peculiarities, was of the strictest in
tegrity, and thoroughly conscientious
i'll everything. The young men were
hard workers, honest and upright,
and never had time nor inclination
for wrong doing.

acter, and his death is a great loss
to his country. Secretary Blaine
and his family will have the SYM
pathy of a great many of his fellow
citizens in his latest bereavement by
the death of his son and official as
sistant 1t is only few weeks since
the Secretary lost brother, a short
time after Mrs. Blaine had lost a sis

The Difference

Between Life Insurance and COOPERATIVE In
surance is very clearly shown in the following
words of Geo. S. Merrill, Insurance Commits
Sioner of Massachusetts, one of the best
thorities in the world, "One requires the col
lection of adequate premiums in advance, the
other depends upon voluntary contributions
after the claim natures, insurance for cash in
advance, and insurance upon Credit With tout
Security. On side is conServat iSm and
