The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-07

THE peoples party has been making
its campaign on the alleged fact that
the old parties were rotten and that it
alone possessed all the personal and
political virtue of the United States;
yet the candidate of this party for the
governorship of North Carolina has
just been arrested and fined for swear
ing in the presence of ladies. Perhaps
the party will learn in time that human
nature is not yet at the point of per-
lection, and consequently it is not yet
possible to remedy all abuses through
governmental intervention.

THE extreme narrow. mindedness of
some democratic organs is beyond un-
derstanding. The st. Louis Republic
evidently thinks the Mckinley law will
be responsible for the spread of the
cholera in this country, for it says:
"The use of rags to make Mckinley
shoddy is one of the possible agencies of
spreading cholera and other diseases,
and no amount of disinfection will make
it absolutely sure that the germs of the
disease are not still concealed in the
cloth made from such rags" This is a
little too much to be taken seriously.
1t were better for the Republic to devote
itself to abusing Comm issioner Peck.
AT Bloomington, ILL.,, last week, Mr..
Stevenson remarked that I" the tariff is
the all.important issue of the campaign
upon which we have now entered"
Mr.. Stevenson is high authority" the
best they have" as Governor Nc
Kinley put it at Burlington. He is
considerably better authority than the
New York Sun, and Mr.. Cleveland I'M
doubtedly agrees with him. The issue
of the campaign is thus being more
sharply drawn than ever. Democracy
stands for the free trade idea, declaring
that protection is unconstitutional,
while republicanism is a synonym for
protection to everything that is Ameri-
can.
THE cholera is at the gates of New
York city, but as yet it has not reached
land. There is no occasion for alarm,
however. The cold weather will prob
ably induce a decrease in the ravages
of the disease in few weeks at most,
and in any event stringent means will
be taken to keep infected vessels and
persons in quarantine. President Har-
rison has advised twenty days of quar-
antine for all immigrant vessels coming
from q foreion mort aud IL ia haliauad

Lies and Liars

Harper Graphic: Men sell their hon.
or, women their virtue, children become
criminals. Jerry Simpson.
D.R.Anthony's school children seem to
have forgotten their teacher, and have
adopted Judge BotkiD, of Wood-murder
. fame, as their hero and model. Liar as
he is, and probably murderer, too, 1t
was left for such man to first garble
Jerry's wolds and apply the garbled
misrepresentation specifically to Kan
sas. Jerry first described the terrible
conditions in many places and then
said, under these conditions life becomes
a fierce and terrible struggle, men sell
their honor, women their virtue, chill
dren become criminals and outcasts In
. Land where the forces for producing
wealth are 90 enormous that If the peo.
pie could obtain access to this vast
storehOuso they could feed the world
and then have abundance left" Com
pare this, or take the whole letter, rath-
or, and compare its tons and real senti-
ment with that sought to be imputed
by the CARRIED extract, and then blush
Tor shame at the mendacity which dares
parade its moral debauchery in public.
Blush for shame
There is paragraph in the Bible that
reads something like this: UNLESS We
repent and be baptized, We shall not en-
ter the Kingdom of Heaven" If one
were to garble this and make it read,
"Ye shall not enter the Kingdom of
Heaven" would it not more aptly ap-
ply to these defaming scissor editors
than their Misrepresentation do to
Jerry Simpson?

Kiowa Journal: Mr.. Samples
speech was interesting from its COM

the rapt attention of the audience.
He said that when the peoples party
had swallowed the democratic party
had received more brains into their

its head" For the sake of Mr..
Samples intelligence and good sense,
we hope this is another shameful lie.
If it is not, it is direct insult to the
democrats and peoples party alike, in
short. to a majority of the people OF
Barber county, and the man, democrat

now existing in some of the states in
the shape Of election laws, are the ones
that deserve most of our attention. For
instance, the election laws Of Missouri,
which are SO technical that it is almost
impossible for party in dlsfavor to

none but members of the two leading

outrageous statements published IN the

garding tho Gibson and Frazer murder.
l was coroner of Elk county at the
time referred to and was called tc Mo-
line to officially inquire into the sudden
death of W. II, Gibson. Knowing that
threats had been made against Gibson
and other cattle men, suspected foul
play, and I, in connection with DR..
Smeathers, of Moline, made most dill
igent and careful inquiry into all the
circumstances surrounding the death
of Mr.. Gibson. Among other things
made careful analysis of the stomach
and tested it for various kinds of poison,
but no trace of poison of Any kind could
be found. From full knowledge of all
the circumstance )nnected with the
case, 1 can say wi, 1out doubt or hes
itancy, that W. H. +ibson's death was
not caused by foul means, but was prob
ably the result of heart failure result
ing from over-work
Ihave been 81 ,s ged in the practice
Of medicine for ta last thirty years,
and am thoroughly acquainted with all
the standard tests by which the pres
ence of poison in a cadaver can be de-
termined. F. S. OLNEY, NJ. d.
