Senators and Representatives.

We have urged repeatedly the ne
cessity of selecting the best men as
senators and representatives this fall
that the people may express their will
in favor Of economy in state expenses,
and thus secure a decided reduction in
taxation, to the great relief of the peo-
pie of the state, especially the farmers
who are feeling the hard times as no
other class is feeling them yet. We are
glad our nominee for governor in his
speech Of acceptance recognized the
Importance of this great question and
tlios forcibly emphasized it. He said ;
"There is one thing which | believe
more than any other has contributed
to my nomination, and that is the dis
cussion Of economy in State expenses,
and the advocacy by my supporters of
reform in the matter of State eXpen-
ditures. | beg of you that, as Repub-
lltduSs Nou VIII ItAulH " ltui upii1o
and continue the discussion of this ia
sue, SO that when you hold your pri-
maries and County Conventions you
will see to il that men are elected to
the Legislature who are in full sympa-
thy with this reform. This is the Vi
tai issue in the campaign. -
See to it that good men are sent to
represent you in both houses, men, too,
who can and will do something more
than merely vote right. There are
such men, see to it they are put in
nomination. No matter how pressing
your business is, 90 to the caucuses
and elect delegates who will vote for
good strong common sense men who
will work for all the best interests of
Vermont and as her prosperity rests
almost wholly upon the prosperity of
her agricultural interests see that
men who are in thorough sympathy
with the farmers on all the questions
of vital interest are nominated.

The temper of the State Convention
seemed to be for a clean sweep of the
present state officers, and it was car
ried out so far as the Treasurer and
Secretary were concerned. Orange
County presented Hon. VIM. II. Du-
Bois for denomination and backed him
solidly, but the tide could not be turn
ed that had set in against too long SER
vice. Our candidate was praised on
every hand for his efficiency as treas
urer, with not breath against him
personally, but Rutland County had
the Field against us, which we grace
fully acknowledge was too much for
our candidate. Mr.. Dubois retires
with the knowledge that the State Of
Vermont thinks well Of him both as

The west side of the mountain has

select its standard bearer. This is the
whole secret why Col. Fletcher was
nominated and why W. II. Dubois

The Boston butter market is so de-
moralized that one Of our advertisers,
Mills and Deerlng write us to stop
their adv't till they can do better for
their patrons in VT. 1t is as discour-
aging to them as to the farmers. We
must have a law such as ought to have
passed in Massachusetts making it a

butter. Let it be its natural lard or
tallow color, or pink but not butter,
then if people want to eat it they can.

Love-Making on the Stage.

Mrs Kendall in Murray's Magazine.
If girl is pretty, weak and vain, and
some man says to her: Il love you"
those magical words will, as long as the
world goes round, turn the heads of
some girls and have no effect upon
others. do not care whether they are
sitting behind the scenes in theater,
in drawing room, in ball room, in a
lodging house parlor, or anywhere else,
the words will take effect or not, ac-
cording to the ground they are thrown
upon. They may be said to an
unresponslve ear and an unre-
sponsive heart, or they may be
said to an cal, heart, soul
that are responsive. 1t would depend
entirely upon the impression on the
girls heart at the moment whether any
echo of the words reverberated in her
soul. 1t does not signify where these
words are spoken. 1t is the magic SYM
pathy of one life with another that de-
cides their influence.
Consider, too, what love-making on
the stage really means. A young girl
comes into theater to play ingenue
parts. She stands in the wing ready to
be called IpOn the stage and she sees a
man and woman making love, The
HAL Say OCdlCSb LILY Will
The woman says: II dare not" The
man says. 1--WE will go at once. Come"
The first time such words as those fall
on the ears of young girl unaccus-
toned to them, they might, if said with
fervor ard passion, mean something;
but this is the way it generally goes:
dearest, tlv with me-"
"No, no. mol" from the stage mana
ger; "when you say that you stand at
the back of the chair, you lean over
Miss Shocks back; she waves her hand
against you. Now try it.'
This is gone over twenty times, until
at last the idea of Fly with me-" as un-
derstood by the young ingenue, must be
of most appalling kind. The gentle
man has had his right arm. his left arm,
his right leg, his left leg, his back, his
chest, both his hands, his head-ail
talked over. He has tried it in high
voice, he has tried it in low voice, he
has tried it in thin voice, he has tried
it in heavy voice, until there is no
sense left of what ely with me'' might
under other circumstances mean. All
the romance of love-making is gone.
Therefore, what effect can it have? In
love, is it not the fact that some OF the
charm lies ia treating of an unknown
land?

A MONTANA FORTUNE.
The Millions Which a Resident
of Butte Leaves.

OF butte Leaves.
A large share of the big fortune of
Judge John j. Davis, the richest man
in Montana, who died last Tuesday in
Butte, will come, says the New York
Sun, to New York heirs. Judge Davis
lett an estate of more than $1,000, coo,
and third of this will go to his brother,
Erwin Daviss' and his nephew. Henry
A. Root, both lawyers Of this city.
Judge Davis career in Montana was
one of fabulous good fortune. He went
there in 1864, when the territory was as
much wilderness as was California in
40. There was a mining excitement
there that year similar to the California
craze fifteen years before. Judge Davis
previously lived in Iowa. He was a
Democrat, and in the dark days of 1864
he became convinced that the country
was in bad way. So he pulled up
stakes, packed all his available possess
ions in two or three carts, and started
off over the plains toward the Montana,
mines. When he reached the camps he
sold his goods for four times what they
capital to start on. Finally. when he
had disposed of all but a half broken
down white horse, miner came along
who was down on his luck" He made
Davis this proposition:
Say, stranger, Pm going back East.
Eve got a claim back here that | can
afford to work any longer. but believe
ANYBODY with little money could make
a good thing out of it. I've got to give
it up and walk back East. But the walk
ing ISM good, and if you'll trade that
white horse of yours I'll make over the
claim to you"
Davis investigated little and closed
the bargain. He spent his available
capital in developing the mine, and it
became the famous Lexington, one OF
the richest of that region. Mr.. Davis
took fortune from it yearly for twenty
years, and five years ago he sold it to
Barring Bros. of London. acting for a
french syndicate. for S1,000,000 in cash
and % per cent of the stock. Since then
the mine has paid 81 .60D, 000in dividends.
During the past fifteen years Mr..
Davis greatly increased his interests in
the mining resources of Montana. and
he was wonderfully fortunate. A year
ago he sold to the Butte Mining COM
panay of Boston for $750.000 cash and
S25O,O0O in stock mining company
which cost him cOmparati rely trltilng
sum. He remarked loosely to bis
friends in New York, when on visit
here last year, that if he could live ten
years longer he thought he should be
worth some money. He owned the Butte
National bank and large share of the
Helena National bank.
Judge Davis was one of the foremost
men of Montana. but he was never in
public life. He was one of the most en-
ergetic OF the determined body of early
settlers who stamped out crime and

vigilance committee of which he was

the close of the Washington park, there

others will flock to Saratoga and Ham
