GRAND FALL AND WINTER OPENING !

Y0u will save time and money by
looking through our mammoth
stock before purchasing elsewhere.
There is no secret about our way
Of doing business, or the success
that has attended our efforts.
Two years ago we inaugurated
the One Price C. O. ID. system.
One price guarantees impartial
treatment to each and all. For
two years we have been selling re.
liable clothing at honest prices.
Thousands have visited us, pur-
chased, and become regular GUS
toners. From a small beginning
we have increased our sales until
to-day we sell more clothing than
any other retail clothing house in
this city.
Having made extensive prepar-
atiOns for the Fall and Winter
trade, we are now ready with our
new and attractive stock of Mems,

Although the population of Maine has in
creased only about ten thousand in the last
decade, the New England States as a whole
show that they are Unexpectedly yielding to
other parts Of the country in their rate of
growth. Massachusetts In the last ten years
has increased in population nearly half a
million. All this is not the increase of Mas
sachusetts herself. She is the centre of New
England's industrial development and to her
have gravetated no small number of the
people who would otherwise have remained
to swell the increase of the smaller States
like Maine. Nearly all the railroads of New
England centre In Massachusetts, which is
the Industrial centre and the leading bureau
Of employment for New England. 1t will
probably be found that a very large, prob
ably the largest, proportion of the sons and
daughters whom Maine should have retained
In the last decade have gone no further than
Massachusetts,, or at least have not gone out
OF New England. The lesson from this is
plain. In these days Of cheap farm products
from the West New England must thrive
largely by her factories; and the more of
these Maine has the more of her population
will she keep from drifting to Mas,acbu-
sets.

Lieutenant Bonney, who was with Stanley
In Africa intimates that some things hap
pened ON that expedition which had better
be left untold. Stanley accepts this intima-
ton as a reflection upon himself, and de-
clares that Bonney had better tell all he
knows at once rather than pursue the injuri-
GUS course of making insinuations. 1t
would be strange II some things did not hap
pen on that terrible expedition which refined
and sensitive society would be shocked to
hear about Stanley led motley array of
negroes and Arabs across an unknown and
terror.haunted country. The fate of poor
Bartellot, who died by the hands of his own
men, is a startling suggestion of the peril in
which Stanley must have been in all the
time. Only tact, firmness, and at times the
most heroic measures could save him. He
had to be both judge and executor. If he
was sometimes hasty In his judgments and
sudden In his executions, sufficient extenua-
tion may be found readily in the unparal-
lelled dangers of his position. Hard stories
were told about Lieutenant Greedy after his
famished company were brought back from
the Arctic regions; but the general verdict
has considered his terrible position and ex-
onerated him.

The Republicans of South Carolina have
given the Democrats who don't like Tillman
q chance to vote for Democrat for Gov
ernor, and Democrat. too, thoroughly
saturated with all the principles of the party,
including white supremacy. The recent Re-
publican state convention nominated for
governor Judge Haskell, a straight.
out Democrat. and for lieutenant
governor John Bratton, also a
straight-out Democrat But though by
this action an opportunity is given to the
Democrats who have been denouncing Till.
man as a demagogue and blatherskite and a
man totally unfit to be Governor, to vote
against him and at the same time vote for a
Democrat, the anti-Tillman Democratic
leaders don't seem to like the looks of the
movement. Indeed threats are made that if
1t is persisted In there will be more dead
negroes at the ensuing election than ever
before. The fear appears to be that the
negroes may turn out and elect Haskell, If
they can get some support from the anti
Tillman men, and the Bourbons don't wan,
negroes to get into the habit of voting, much
less OF gaining victories.

THE MAPLE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Congressman Grout is quite con-
fdent that when the Mckinley tariff
bill comes back to the House from
the Senate for its final passage there
will be a bounty on maple sugar.
His idea is to admit maple sugar
from Canada free of duty but to sub
sidize American sugar makers at the
rate of So for every 100 pounds
manufactured. Such bounty
would protect the American manu-
facturer from foreign competition by
stimulating the production. If the
Louisiana planter is going to get a
bounty on his cane sugar we see no
reason why the Vermonter should
not be given a chance on his product.
Gen Grout has his position well
fortified with facts and figures and
will make a strong plea before the
ways and means committee when
the bill finally reaches the House.

Eugene Ransom was tried before
J. c. Stafford at the North Walden
post Office Saturday for entering the
house of Eugene Ransom on Sunday
night, July 20. The evidence showed

ing the lock and two bushels OF

stolen. BY means of a search war
rant the sacks and a pitchfork were
found in RansOm's house in East

Escaped from Montpelier Jail.

Four prisoners escaped from the
jail Sunday morning by saving two
bars and a crossbar in the main cor
ridor, making a hole 12x141a inches.
Apparently a very delicate saw was
used, as the surface of the bars a the
cuts was perfectly smooth. Just half
an hour before the escape a newly
arrested man was brought in, and
the four prisoners then appeared to
to be asleep in their cells. A few
minutes after midnight the wife of
the sheriff heard a noise in the yard,
and spoke to her husband. The
latter jumped up and looked out of
the window. Seeing a man in the
yard he shouted, What are you
doing there? Get out or will put a
bullet through you ?"- The man,
probably the last of the quartet to
crawl through the window, did not
linger. The prisoners names are
William Jenkins, held for attempted
rape; Peter Armour, for keeping
house of ill-fame; J. NJ Weaver,
horse thief; Joseph Hathorne, high
way robbery. All were captured,
Jenkins and Armour at Hartford,
Hathorne at Richmond, and Weaver
at Burlington.

A NOTE OF REVOLT.

Anote of revolt was sounded in the
House Tuesday against Speaker Reed
by Representative Struble of Iowa,
one of the best men on the republican
side. For eight years he has been
trying to get bill through Congress
for public building for Sioux City,
la. He has presented the case to
Mr.. Reed, but in vain, and Tuesday
he made up his mind that patience
had ceased to be a virtue, and that,
if every other republican representa-
tivecowered under the speakers lash,
he would do SO no longer. He bold
" declared that mot one of us poor,
cowardly fellows over here have been
able to get recognition to move the
consideration of one of these bills,
and we have been treated as if we
were boys" 'Shall we continue, "
he asked, Ito submit like towards to
the dictation of the speaker of the
House in respect to these matters ~
81 am for rebellion against the rul-
ings of the speaker" he cried amid
the laughter and applause of the
House What made the rebuke the
more calling was that Milliken OF
Maine, Council of Nebraska, and sew
eral other western representatives

plause-
Mr.. Reed has evidently reached the
end of his arbitrary and perhaps un-
constitutional rulings and has been
brought to his senses not by the
wicked democrats" but by his
friends in the republican party who
believe in fair play and honest poll
tics. Mr. Reed feels the attack as
the worst blow he has yet received
and ought to profit by it.
