Gov. Page has issued his proclama-
ton formally appointing Hon. Red
field Proctor United States senator
from Vermont to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Senator
Edmunds. Some time ago-in Au-
gustlast-Gov. Page announced that
he would appoint Mr.. Proctor, and
the proclamation just issued com
pletes the carrying out of the lnten-
ton heretofore expressed. Senator
Edmunds' time expired Nov. 1st, and
as the proclamation is dated Nov. 2.
it will seen that Vermont got along
with one senator for just one day
that day being Sunday, when sena-
tors are not expected to be transact
ing state business. Gov. Pages let
ter to Senator Proctor, accompany
ing the proclamation, is as follows:
HYDE PARK, Nov. 2, 1891.
Hon. Redfed Proctor, Proctor. Vt,
Dear Sir:-In accordance with my
previously expressed purpose, l nave this
day appointed you a United States SEN
ator to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Hon. George F. Edmunds.
The office of United States senator, as
created by the constitution, is the most
honorable within the gift of the state;
and, important as it is ordinarily, it
seems to be clothed with additional
honor and responsibility when we on
slider the signal ability with which it has
been filled during the last half century by
such men as Phelps, Upham, Foot, Col
lamer, Morrill, and Edmunds.
May the magnitude of the responsible
ties which you today assume, and the
inspiration of the long and honorable
line of distinguished statesmen who have
preceded you, strengthen you in your
directed by hat Providence which
holdeth nations as in the hollow of his
hand, to the end that purity and wisdom
may characterize all your actions.
With assurance of sincere respect, l am,
Yours truly.
CARROLL S. PAGE.
The appointing document, shorn
of all its legal trimmings, is as
follows:
WHEREAS, A has occurredi in
the representation of the state of Yer
mont in the senate of the United States,
caused by resignation Of Senator George
F. Edmunds; and, whereas, the legisla-
ture of said state is not in session, but in
recess; therefore, be it known that,
pursuant to the power vested in me by
the constitution of the United States. l,
Carroll S. Page, the governor of said
state, do hereby appoint Redfield Proc
tor, a citizen and inhabitant of said
state, to be a member Of the senate of
the United States, to fill the vacancy so
caused and existing as aforesaid, to have
and to hold the said office and member
ship until the next meeting of the 1egisla-
ture of this state"

In the death of John B. Clark, edi-
tor ofthe Mirror and Farmer, at Man
chester, N. H., on the Doth ult., the
newspaper fraternity sustains a great
loss. He was II years old, a grad
uate of Dartmouth, a lawyer as well
as a journalist, and connected with
the Mirror since 1913. AS q horse
manhehad a widespread reputation,
and the department in his paper de-
voted to the matter of horse-breed-
ing and the development of first-class
animals was looked upon as a relia-
BILE guide for all interested in that
important industry. He was a vigor-
Gus, out-spoken writer and will be
much missed in the field of journal

REMA RKABLE FATALITY.

A strange coincidence in connec-
ton with the failure of the Maverick
National bank at Boston is found in
the death of Bank Examiner Ma
gruder, which occurred at almost the
very hour at which the notice of the
suspension was posted. Mr.. Ma
gruder was a personal friend of Pres1-
dent Potter OF the Maverick. He
did not let this interfere at all with a
close scrutiny into the condition Of
the bank, but did his duty faithfully
and demanded the closing of that in
stitution; what he found shocked
him greatly, his health gave out dur
inu the examination, and his death
was FASTENED by his constant and
anxious thought over the failure.
The suicide of Broker Evans only a
few days ago, and the death of Mr..
Magruder, throw a deep shadow
around the closing of the Maverick.

The latest development in the
famous Andover case which in
volved, it will be remembered, a
charge of heresy on the part of Prof.
Egbert c. Smyth-is a decision by
the Massachusetts, supreme court to
the effect that the board of visitors,
acting independently of the trustees,
had no right to remOve the profess
sor. This puts al end to the con-
troversy, though of course it does
not settle the question of heterodoxy
or orthodoxy on the part of the pro-
fessors who were ''hauled over the
Goals"
The Boston Journal emphasizes the
change in the Vermont senatorship
by saying:
The retirement of Senator Ed
munds OF Vermont from public life is
an event of national interest and
regret. The quarter of a century in
which he has been active in national
affairs have been years of stirring
change for this country. In all of
them the Vermont senator has borne
a conspicuous part. Joined with
Senator Morrill,, he has given the
Green Mountain state a voice in all
important matters that possibly its
position and the exigencies of party
would not otherwise have allowed
it. Hon. Redtield Proctor, who is to
take Senator Edmunds' place at
Washington. comes of the same
sturdy stock. His thorough work
as secretary of war has given him a
national reputation"

The London Times is taking a
great deal of interest in Chili's COM
plications with the United States
and offering a large amount of adj
vice to this country. 1t looks very
much as though the administration
could paddle its own canoe down
this stream and make a satisfactory
landing without the help of the
Times. The latest and most con-
servative dispatches point to an
amicable arrangement of the matter.

THE ELECTIONS.

Both parties "a consistently claim
a victory in Tuesdays election. In
Massachusetts, the popular young
democratic governor was again
elected by republican votes, while
the republicans elected the rest of the
ticket. They tried hard to defeat
Gov. Russell, but he is elected, and
personally it was a great victory.
New York goes democratic by
about 10000 majority and Mr..
Flower, a clean business man, is
elected. But the corrupt votes OF
Tammany in New York elected him,
though the republican vote fell off in
the country towns
The republicans won a great vic
tory in Ohio and Maj. Mckinley is
again brought into national prom
inence. He is now one of the strong
est presidential candidates in the
field.
Pennsylvania comes back into the
republican fold and Maryland piles
up a democratic majority.
To sum it all up, the republicans
have won a great victory in Ohio
and have reclaimed Pennsylvania !;
while the democrats have held their
own in Massachusetts and New
York. Outside of the election in Ohio
the result has no significance as bear
ing on 1892. And the result in Ohio
means a great deal.
The Ohio legislature comes out OF
thefrav with good republican major
titles. The result in Iowa is still in
doubt.

NOT A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The last issue OF the
had not been out very long before we
began to hear from the editorial fra
ternity in this state, both by wire
and by mail, who congratulated the
CALIFORNIAN on the prompt and Wig
orous stand it had taken concerning
that very unbusiness-like PROPOSE
ton made by the republican state
committee to the Vermont papers
namely: You make us a present of
rs cents on every subscriber you get,
for the sake of letting the Boston
Journal and certain New York pa
pers into Vermont to a greater ex-
tent than usual, for political purposes
during the coming campaign; and if
you don't do thus and so, you can't
do so and thus" Or words to that
effect-as per the ext published last
week.
The CALIFORNIAN looked upon this
as a trife dictatorial on the part of
the state committee, and the propo-
sition was declined with thanks.
We werenot alone in it, either. Such
prominent and always reliable re-
publican papers as the Rutland Her
aid, the Middlebury Register, the
Brattleboro Phoenix, the Burlington
Clipper, BELOW Falls Times, Wind
sor Journal, Fair Haven Era and
Springfield Reporter fell into line and
announced themselves as opposed to
any such scheme. While entertaining
the highest esteem for the Boston
Journal and the New York papers
which had been taken under the COM
mittee's wing, our confreres of the
press figured out very c~Oncluslvely
that it was a poor business arrange
ment and entirely uncalled for. Col.
Forbes himself, who represents the
Journals interests in Vermont, saw
the point at once, and at this writ
ing the prospect is that the Journals
arrangement with the committee
will be cancelled and the old-time
reasonable club rate with the Journal
will be continued.
Commenting on this matter the
Rutland Herald said:
THE CALIFORNIAN is plainly right.
1t is the right of a newspaper to
paddle its own canoe, and perhaps
also to help keep the republican
state committee padding theirs.
The trouble is. of course, that agents
of the city papers have surrounded"
the committee. They have done the
same thing in years gone by. Yer
mont newspapers have an influence
In their own state beside which that
OF all other sheets put together is
tr1fling; when a campaign comes the
real work must be done by them be-
cause it can be done in no other way,
and yet the extra sales are so small
that probably every one of them will
be out of pocket by the event,
while the city papers reap a rich
harvest. In the face of this the state
committee has fallen into a way of
paying large sums of money for out
side papers to use as campaign docu-
1nents and giving Vermont papers
nothing at all. 1t is high time that
there was a change of method in the
direction of both common fairness
and common wisdom"

NOTE AND COMMENT.

sure, will be appreciated by all his

the housewife who finds a large four

better accommodations for all the
good things it's editor may choose to
put into it.

CAPTURE OF ALMY, THE MURDER
ER OF CHRISTIE WARDEN.

Frank Almy, the murderer, was cap
tured on Thursday last in the barn of
MIR. Warden, father of the murdered
girl. The circumstances connected
with the affair read more like a dime
novel than fact. AS soon as Almy
committed the foul deed he ran at
once to the farmhouse owned by Mr..
Warden, where, it will be remembered,
he had been employed for some time
previous to the murder, and secreted
himself in the barn. There was deep
hay NOW on the side of the barn and
he dug down into it several feet and
pushed the hay away so that he had
formed quite rOomy apartment or
den where he was comfortably situat-
ed and where he could look directly
into the kitchen part of the house.
Here he lay secreted during the day
of the funeral and has made his home
up to the time of his capture. During
the night time he prowled about in
the vicinity stealing fruit cans from
cellars, such articles of food as he
could find and newspapers con-
tanning the account of his doings
and the effort being made for his cap
ture. His work was going on regular
ly and nothing occurred to arouse any
general suspicion until some days
since, when Mrs. Warden, in hunting
for some chickens, removed a board
covering hole in the underpinning
OF the barn, land there discovered some
empty fruit jars and other articles

The man without a stomach may exist as a
museum freak, but most of us recognize the
stomach necessary to life and comfort.
Most of experience little trouble from
this source occasionally, wrong action of the
stomach causing dyspepsia, ETC., and often
the trouble extends, involving the liver and
bowels, whence we find biliousness and con-
stipation. We find also that the bowels and
kidneys natures sewage system become
clogged with effete matter, from which comes
impure blood, boils, blotches, scrofula, scrofu-
Ious swellings and cancerous complaints. The
Burdock Blood Bitters taken at the begin
ming, or at any irter stage, arrests the trouble,
restores the disordered organ to activity,
thereby removing every vestige of disease. b.

and herbs, which can not injure even the
