HOOKERISM.

A Brattleboro writer in the Bel
lows Falls Times Supposed to be
the modest Hooker himself) booms
our George in lively way for Con-
gress, saying, among other things,
that "Hooker is too good Repub-
lican" not to bolt Republican eau
Gus that nominates Democrat for
office. Well, this is good-a solid
chunk of ice in fact-especially when
said about the man whose political
principles and morals have been pro-
claimed by himself to be that "a
man would be blanked fool not
to be a Democrat in New York
city and Republican in Vermont !"
That's the kind of hightoned Repub-
lican he is His principles are s'the
loaves and fishes" and lead him right
up every time to the political dough-
dish that is supposed to contain the
most official pap for Hooker, whether
it be labelled Republican" Or "Dem-
ocrat." The writer further says that
Hooker wouldn't have bolted if Re-
publican ii. e. his candidate) had
been nominated. You don't say so
What magnanimity, to be sure He
asked for the caucus expressly to run
his man against Childs, and the Con-
gressmen, in ordering the caucus, ex-
plicitly named Childs as one of the
candidates to be voted for on equal
terms and now up pops Hooker with
the childlike and bland remark: eff
you'd all voted for my man l would't
have bolted; but I'm too good Re-
publican to submit when Pm whip
ped !" What namby-pamby stuff is
this The plain unvarnished truth is
that Hooker's bolt was utterly dis
honorable-pure cussedness, in fact; ;
and the man who would be guilty of
it can safely be depended upon to re-
peat it whenever and inst as often as
he thinks he can gain point by it.
He's not to be trusted anywhere nor
under any circumstances. Besides,
he has not single qualification
mental, educational, moral or person
al habits-that make him fit repre-
sentative of the honest and sober peo-
pie of Vermont. He's nothing but
an INSCRIPTIONS political schemer of
the disreputable Tammany sort, Of
light weight but with species of low
"smartness," whose whole end and
aim in life Is to pack caucuses and
get votes. Do the people want that
kind of a man ? Not much
The Times backs up its writer, evil
IDENTIFY, by saying that whenever any
thing is to be done, there is a loud
call for Hooker, or words to that ef-
feet. A call from Dhom, pray
Why, from his organized band of eau
cus-packing lickspittles, who have
been trained up by him to be on hand
at every kind of caucus or public
meeting, and shout Hooker J!
"H HooEer !" "HooKE p
HOOKER !" at the top Of
their brazen voices until they make
all decent people sick and want to g
home. It's a loud call from Hooker
and not for him, brother Allis. KeeE
your peppers open and you'll under
stand the tricks of the animal better
bye and bye.

State expenses have nearly doubled
in the last ten years. And why
There has been, in that time, but a
slight increase, if any, in population.
During this time certain monopolis-
tic ring has named our Governors,
and through their heDchmen and paid
alto. neys have controlled our Legisla-
lures, and this increase in expendi-
lures should properly be laid at their
door. After having failed so wofull Y
in their trust the people should relieve
them of any further care on their be-
half. Now, these same fellows, this
same corrupt ring, aided by new
made custom house ring, are once
more moving heaven and earth to
force upon the good people their
candidate for Governor. Let them
succeed in this and they will see that
the next Legislature is taken care of
and the same reckless expenditures
will continue. Isn't it about time to
turn a new leaf, or rather open the
way for new Page.

Mckinley a Shrewd Debater.

Major Mckinley has made two or three
very good points on Mr.. Mills in the
tariff debate The Press yesterday called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Mills was
rather nonplussed when Mr.. Mckinley
reminded him that in three successive
Democratic Congresses the time allowed
for debate on the Tariff bill was less than
that allotted the Mckinley bill. On an
other occasion Mr.. Mills was growing
fairly purple in the face denouncing the
changes in the agricultural shedule and
instancing rye as one of the items which
the Republicans proposed to protect by a
rate of duty far in excess of what was
necessary. Imagine Mr.. Millss chagrin
when Major Mckinley pointed out the
fact that the Republicans in their bill pro-
posed precisely the same rate of duty on
rye as the Mills bill which passed the
House Of Representatives in the last
Congress.
Yesterday the subject of window glass
came up for discussion. Now, every one
who knows anything about window glass
is aware of the fact that since the manu-.
facture was begun in this country-espe
cially that Of plate glass by the De Pauws
of Indiana, and likewise by some promi-
nent concerns in Pennsylvania and Mis-
souri-the price has steadily declined to
the consumer, until it is no exaggeration
to say that glasses of various grades cost
half what was paid for precisely the same
quality ten or twelve years ago. The
usual talk, from the Democratic side, OF
robber barons was being indulged in, anc
the fact that in some cases the rae Of
duty exceeded 100 per cent. was being en-
larged upon after the most approved Dem
ocratic fashion. Major Mckinley com
pletely disconnected Mr.. Mills by calling
attention to the fact that in the glass
schedule of the Mills bill the percentage;
ranged from 60 to I52 per cent. Sale
Major Mckinley: If that were rev
enue tariff why should not the Republi
cans increase that tariff and make it pro
tective in favor of the labor of the United
States Why had the gentlemen on tn,
other side left duty of l52 per cent. OF
plate glass ? Was it because it was a rev
enue tariff, or was it because the Demo
cratic party of Missouri made that con
dition of its support of the Mills bill 2

Robert Louis Stevenson writes to
Robert Bonner's Sons from Sydney,
New South Wales, that his health
has greatly improved, that he is in
good writing condition, and that he is
at work on his story for the New
York Ledger, which he hopes to COM
plete within reasonable time. Mr..
Stevenson likes the story very much
himself, and has become deeply in
terested in the fascinating plot which
he is weaving. He says: "It has
something of a Monte Christie flavor.
being the tale of an abominable crime
and singular vengeance. | have
great hopes of the tale i; the incidents
are strange, and so are the charac
ters." This has the true Stevenson
flavor, and smacks of "Hyde anC
Jekyll." The public will await thu
appearance of this story with eager
ness and great expectations.

A DESTRUCTIVE BOY
Fined Fifty Dollars for Defacing Five
Brick Houses.

On @ street northeast between 9th and It'll
streets there are two rows of brick houses,
one row belonging to Mr.. Wine and the other to
gentleman living in Philadelphia There are
bay windows to the houses, and some mis-
chievous boy recently amused himself by
chipping off pieces OF brick from the win
dows. In all, twelve houses were dis
figured in that way. Policeman Pearson OF the
ninth precinct was detailed to make an inves-
tigation, and the result was the issuance of a
warrant charging five cases of destroying pri-
vate property. The warrant was against Ray
mond Ford, the nine-year-old son Of MIR. Ray
mond Ford of the pension office. The war
rant was returned to the Police Court today
and several of the boys companions were
called witnesses. Some OF them saw young
Ford do the damage with a stone, while others
said that Ford told them that he did it. He
told several of them that he had left his trade
mark on the houses. Judge Miller, comment
ing ON the case said that no man would have
the ingenuity to know where to strike the
brick like the boy had. One little 10y, the
judge said can do more damage in one min
ute than a brick mason can repair in a whole
day. The judge imposed fine Of $40 in each
case, making $50 In all and suspended sentence
as long as the boy behaved himself
