The Secretary of State is the only man in the
Republican party vino can look back to the
disastrous results of the campaign and say, 81
told you So" To the Western Republican
press, therefore, his figure alone towers above
the wreck. The st. Paul Pioneer Press says:
1.-The country has reached one of those great
historic crises when it feels instinctiyely the
need of great leader and turns as instinctively
to JAMES q. BLAINE as the leader whom it
needs, He is the only man who can lead the
Republican party to victory in 1892. The magic
OF his name will call back its flying legious to
the glorious standard, ETC." 1t is noteworthy,
however, that that rock-ribbed Protectionist
paper the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, dryly
remarks: "Ihe duty and the honor of leading
the party to victory in the next great battle
VIII deYolye on some one else than Mr..
BLAINE"

sTANLEY's charges against Maj BARTTELor
have been further confirmed by Mr. WILLIAM
BoNNY, one Of the officers of the rear column.
The account which he gives Of BARrTELor's
revolving cruelty and the diabolical spirit and
malignant insensibility of JAMESON win make
most people doubt whether a continuance of
African barbarism isnot preferable to the intro
duction of civilization by such fcndish methods.

The apparent disposition of the Post Office
authorities to make q drag-net of the anti.lot-

such enterprises as church fair rafiles and news

with view to the suppression of certain we'll

The school question played an important part
IN the Illinois elections and the campaign poet
sang the song Of the "Little Red School-House,"
only to find that not more than two out of 1872
Illinois school-houses are painted red. The
Philadelphia North american, however, comes
to his relief by saying it doesn't matter, for. all
the same, his poem was read.

1t is generally believed in business circles
that the late furry in Wall street will have the
effect of placing things on surer foundation
for the future. There was need to cut away
some dead wood, and it was removed accord
ingly. Some bubbles had to be pricked, and
there were some consequent collapses. But
general business is in healthy condition, with
every prospect of remaining so. The alleged
revolution in railway matters, if it material
izes, will, it is thought, prove generally salts
factory to the main railroad interests of the
country. There has been much dissatisfaction
among railroad men, and many railroad proper
ties have been unremuneratiVe. The new deal
gives promise Of an arrangement whereby
hereafter traffic may be put on paying basis.

Among those prominently named as candi-
dates for the speakership of the Fifty second
Congress are MILLS, of Texas; CRISP, of
Georgia; HATCH, of Missouri; BYNUM of Indiana,
and SPRINGER, of fIllinois. In this connection the
Springfield Republican suggests Congressman
WILSON, of West Virginia, and says: "The
Northern Democrats will have large repre-
sentation and may be 10th to place a distinc-
lively Southern man in the chair. In a geo
graphical sense Mr.. WILSON would afford an
ideal compromise. His abilities are not aues-
toned, and in him the Democrats would have
Speaker who would be credit to that great
Office quite as much as any other one men

The action of the Secretary of the Interior in
ordering rigid investigation of the treatment
received by Indians in "Wild West" shows
throughout Europe will win general and hearty
approval. The vulgar spectators who borrowed
them from the Government for purposes of ex-
hibltion are alleged to have abused and de-
trauded them shamefully, 1t was not very
credtable act in the Government to lend them
in the first place, and for the future the practice
Will be discontinued. AT best, the country
gains little advantage from these performances.
In Europe an Ignorant conception prevails that
our population is largely made up of Indians,
cowboys, and other rough and semi-barbarous
elements, and the "Wild West" shows serve to
confirm the impression.

Life is not all sugar to any of us;
but in the case of Isaac H. McClary
of Albany, a very large proportion
has been just sugar-and maple
honey at that. For many years it
has been his chief occupation to
gather up the sweetness of Vermont
and Herewith try to SWeeten the
great and wicked city of Chicago
But he made his best investment in
the sweetness of Vermont on the 2Sth
of April, 1910, although the subject
of the investment was never sent to
Chicago, but has been strictly de-
voted to domestic use. We mean the
time when he married Emily Darling,
just fifty years ago last Monday.
So, on that day, his friends and rela-
tives gathered at the house where
the happy couple have lived all these
fifty years, to recount the profits and
balance the account of life. The
credit column was almost full; the
debit column not half full. Sorrow
endured for a season; but JOY came
in the morning-and stayed. Peace
has been within the walls and pros
perity within the gates. The spirit
of the meeting was one of thankful
JOY. Pleasant gifts were brought,
but the best gifts were the good
wishes.

COLLISION AT THE DEPOT.

The day express, due here at 3.17
p. m. collided with the Portland
train at the lower end of the yard
last Friday. The latter train comes
in first and side-tracks for the former
to pass. On this occasion the Port
land train was little late and was
in the act of siding when it was
struck by the express coming around
the bend by the freight depot. Both
engineers reversed their engines and
applied the brakes and then jumped
their example being followed by both
firemen. Both engines were consider
ably damaged, the cow-catchers be-
ing demolished and the boiler and
cylinder heads driven in. The pas
sengers were well shaken but unin-
lured 1t is not known where the
blame lies, but the general opinion is
that the signal was lowered too
quickly, indicating that the track
was clear before it really was

the winning side during the greater
part of the week, but when the last
engagement took place Monday af-

otherwise would have been a splendid
victory.

Samuel Martins House Burned.


Fire was discovered in Samuel
Martins brick house about 9 O'Clock
Friday morning. All attempts to
extinguish it were futile and help
was summoned from st. Johnsbury.
A special train came up, bringing the
fire company and a crowd of men
who kept the flames in subjection
until all danger of it spreading was
past. Had the wooden shed and
barn connected taken fire, the greater
part of the village would have burn
ed. The chimney burned out early
that morning and the fire undoubt-
edly originated from a defective flue
Years ago this building was famous
hotel but for some time has been used
as private residence. The loss will
not exceed $1,000. There was no in
surance, the policy having expired
but few days before. Esterbrook's
store and the old Methodist church
caught fire once from sparks but the
flames were soon extinguished.
Mrs. S. Martin is sick from expo
sure and over work at the fire and is
stopping at Edgar Cushman's.
George Drew has sold his farm to
Charles Drew, late from California,
for $1,000, and gives possession at
once. George Drew will move into
Napoleon Richards house.
