away to Canada" a remark which,
it is said, was applauded by some.
This shameful dissertation of the day
seems to have met with no rebuke at
the time. The fact of the occurrence
rests on unquestionable authority.
The Caledonian believes that there
are few men by whom such an act
| as this would be committed and few
posts by which it would have been
allowed to go unrebuked. 1t it, new
ertheless, a link in a chain of circum-
stances, all of which go to show,
what this paper has maintained
that designing and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians are attempting to "work"
the Grand Army organization for
their own selfish purposes.
If this is so Col. Mansur should
know it. 1t calls for regulation and
restraint The statement stands I'M
challenged that officers of posts have
been asked to bring their men into
line for particular candidate. Now
we learn that the day set apart by
the nation to honor its martyr dead
is seized upon by one of high rank in
the Grand Army of the Republic to
help along a personal struggle for a
political office.
Col. Mansur claims that injustice
was done him and the order he repre-
sents in the article of the Caledonian
two weeks ago. If so, we deeply re-
greet it He has been actively en-
gagged in this political canvass, work
ing mainly through his Grand Army
comrades, but this paper would be
the last to deny his ri ght to the full
exercise of all the privileges of citizen
ship. Unfortunately he has been
working on the same side and in
the same line with the politicians to
whom reference has been made in this
article and it was therefore natural,
perhaps that we should associate
him with them.
AS fair amend we call to his Off
cial attention the irregularities which
are going on in the department of
Vermont, believing that the depart
ment commander will find in his
Jealous regard for the best interests
of the order" sufficient reason for
checking the attempt to convert it
into political machine. Col. Man
sur's views, as expressed in his letter,
are so fair and just that we are con-
fident he will be quick to put the
stamp of official disapproval upon
all forms of political activity within
the charitable and patriotic order at
the head of which he stands.

appropriate and fitting as that of

any other candidate; his ability is of
the highest order In all the various
phases in which he has appeared be
fore the public his conduct has been
such that would invite the closest
scrutiny He is n man of exceedingly
rare strength, clearness and force of
thought, and it is high time that his
ability and merit should have the
honor of the second place on the
state ticket. Let Caledonia, Essex
and Orleans counties stand fast by
him in the convention at Montpelier

FATHER DAMIEN VINDICATED.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the noted
author, has written an open letter in
the Freeman's Journal to Rev. DR..
Hyde of Honolulu, completely vindi-
eating Father Damien, Molokai's
hero, and restoring the reputation OF
the self-sacriicing leper priest which
was blasted through the envy and
narrowness of one who evidently
thought too much of himself and val
ued his own ease and comfort too
highly to realize the devotion of the
man who gave up his life for the
most miserable creatures among all
humanity. The exposure coming as
it does from one of Mr.. Hyde's own
sect, Protestant, proves more con-
clusively the calumnies.
