On With the Dance.

The Brattleboro Retormer is very
sanguine regarding the o'ertoppling of
Hiram AL Raschid. We suggest to the
Reformer that it hedge little unless its
hopefulness is the fruit of inspiration.
To uninspired mortal vision it is fool
ishness to claim, as the Retormer did
last week, that of the delegates from
thirteen towns that had held caucuses,
sixty-one are against Atkins, to four
teen for him. To person no nearer
the inside of the camp of the Faithful
than an infidel republican editor is per-
mitted to stand, the Retormer'S figures
seem somewhat stuffed, like its political
prophet. Does the Rgormer suppose
for a moment that the second delega-
ton elected at Rutland will cut any fig
ure in the coming convention? Does it
suppose that all the St. Adams and
Burlington delegates are anti-Atkins?
There are at least, if reports are correct,
three in the St. Adams delegation who,
although they worked industriously
against McGettrick and Burleson, will
be Fright in line for the Caliph as
soon as they strike Montpelier There
are probably four in the Burlington
delegation who will be found voting for
Hiram. The only town which the
ants seem to have carried solidly and
beyond peradventure is Wilmington.
At the Battle of Burlington, in 1890,
the Commander was attacked unawares.
He hurriedly threw up some breast
works, rallied his forces, and by hard
fighting saved his head. He is all ready
this time. He has not written many
editorials about "the subsiding tide"
but he has been busy saving wood and
capturing delegates. He is on his own
ground now, and when the battle opens
he will knock seven kinds of political
stuffing out of his adversaries, unless
they encase themselves at the caucus
in armor of triple proof, Perhaps we
are mistaken. In the interest of decent
politics, we hope that events will prove
that we are in error. The overthrow
of no veritable barbarian caliph of the
Orient is more a matter of devout
prayerfulness than the destruction of
Hiram AL Raschid in the pending con-
test. But to compass his overthrow
Effendi Davenport must do something
besides illuminate editorials. Work and
organization are what count in strife of
this kind. Currier and Chubb, sheiks
of the northland and the midland prov
nces, Pasha Hazelton and every rebel
leader in every corner of Arabia, must
meet the Caliph's forces on every pre-.
liminary battle-ground d beat them,
or defeat awaits the revolutionists at
the general engagement in May.

Note and Comment.

IT is safe to remark that Uncle Hiram
does not feel half so well as he pre-
tends o.-Brattleboro Rgormer.
THERE is nothing more dsgraceful
in the recent history OF Vermont JOUR-
nalism than the blackguardly assaults
of the Montpelier WATCHMAN upon
the editor of the Rutland Herald.-St.
JohnSbwy Republican. The editor of
the Republican appears to be consider
able of a jay.
IT is stated that Governor Boies
never jokes, plays cards, swears or
does anything naughty. Aud yet dem
ocrats talk about running him for
president. What on earth could he d.,
if elected, to make democrats feel at
home in the White House2-St. Paul
Pioneer-P Press.
THE Boston Herald says the demo-
cratic leaders could repeat, afler the
defeat of 1888, the boast of the French
king, "We have lost all but honor"
Doubtless. A similar boast was once
made by barefooted man, who under
took to swim river. He lost every
thing but his boots.-NeW York Tri-
bune.
EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS, who halls
from state that has not yet outlived
its reputation for good horses, was visit
ing Senator B Blackburn in Kentucky
And the way in which he mounted the
steeds exhibited to him, put them
through their PAGES and told their ages
by their teeth, took the fancy of the
blue grass farmers nightly. - NeW
York Tribune.
SENATOR PROCTOR and Senator
Morrill, were comparing notes, lately, as
to the queer tales that had been writ

wrathful over the report that had made
him out dead shot and a confirmed
seeker after game. why" said he,
it is so long since / even had a gun in
my hand that do not believe 1 should
know the muzzle from the safe end"
THAT'S nothing" interjected Proctor
lone of the last things l saw about

breaker, and there was a picture sup
posed to represent me decked out in a
swallowtail coat and cracking a long
whip at frisky horse that was dancing
around me on its hind legs till l looked
like the ring master in a circus."-
Kate Fields Washington.
THE WATCHMAN announces that ex-
Governor w. z. Dillingham; feels con-
strained, by important professional en-
gagements during the week of the con
vention, to withdraw his name for dele
gate to the national convention. There
will be much regret at this decision on
his part, for the republicans of Vermont
would, almost to man, be glad to be
represented by Governor Dillingham;
They cannot, however, compel him to
serve them in that capacity and will have
to acquiesce in his determination. In
this situation of affairs, the name of
Colonel F. E. Smith of Montpelier is
suggested for one of the places at large
on the delegation, and the suggestion
is quite likely to find general favor.
His standing in the state and in the
party is high, and no exception could
be taken to such choice.-Free Press.

Victorious RhOdy.

BY force of circumstances, the weekly
papers that 60 to press Wednesday

procession that has beer offering con-
gratulations to Little Rhody on her
brilliant achievement of last Wednes-
day, or that have been busy in explain
ing away the significance of the cleo
ton and beittling its importance. The
republican candidate for governor is
elected by plurality of 5000 over the
democratic candidate, and by major
ity of 229 over all, in the largest vote
ever cast on any issue in the state. The

THE spring, of all seasons of the year. is the
one for making radical changes in regard to
comes to certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with impuri-
ties, owing to lack of exercise, close con-
fnement in poorly ventilated shops and
homes, and other causes. This is the cause
of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling so gem
eral at this season, and which must be over
come or the health may be entirely broken
down. Hoods Sarsaparilla has attained
the greatest popularity all over the country
as the favorite spring medicine. 1t expels
the accumulation of Impurities through the
bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skim
necessary TO good health and overcomes
that tired feeling.

The progress of democratic princi-
Piles in Rhode Island since 1889 is
shown by the following election figures:
In 1889 the democratic plurality was
4 ,419; in 1890, 1850; in 1891, 1854; in
1892 the republican plurality is 1000,
and the party's state officials have a
clear majority on the popular vote. So
let the party of tariff reform and free
silver coinage progress " from Maine
to California, from the lakes to the gulf.

THE office of state auditor is dividing
the honors of public attention in some
limited way. There is feeling ex-
pressed that the present incumbent has
enjoyed the honors and emoluments of
the office as long as they ought to be
possessed by one individual. Among
those who are likely to try titles with
Colonel Powell next June is George w.
Wing, Esq, of Montpelier. Mr.. Wing
is thoroughly familiar with state affairs.
He is in all respects most amply quail
fed for the office, and we predict that
his candidacy will command a very
strong following.

IN letter from Mexico, Colonel
Franklin Fairbanks tells his friends
that he "cannot consent to be a caudi-
date" for governor. He adds: 81
have no doubt that the republicans of
Vermont will select worthy man as
their candidate, and it is my sincerest
wish that he may receive the unani-
nous and earnest support of the party"
Colonel Fairbanks was unfortunate in
the vehicle and the manner of the an
nouncement of his candidacy. But
that was not his fault. The same I'M
happy instrument of individual and
political woe and disaster-the st.
Johnsbury Republican - as involved
Chairman Baldwin and his fellow COM
mitteemen in an unpleasantness with a
part of the state press seems to have
been responsible for Colonel Fairbanks
awkward and untimely entree upon the
political arena. The Republican seems
also to have assumed the role of its
candidates chief spokesman. To its
sneering references to every other can
didate is unquestionably attributed
much of the lack of cordially with
which Colonel Fairbanks name has
been received, and which has probably
induced his withdrawal. Colonel Fair
banks was deserving of better adj
yocacy and better fate.

SOME time ago John O'Neil, liquor
dealer at Whitehall, N. Y, shipped
several jugs of liquor to persons in
Rutland. The jugs were marked &C.
o. d." and the express charges were
paid by the parties who had ordered
the liquor. ONeil was indicted for
violation of the law of Vermont. He
was convicted of 457 offences, and fines
aggregating SO, 140 and costs were i'm
posed upon him. The number of Of
fences was subsequently cut down to
307 and fines to So, 140. The alterna-
tive penalty was imprisonment for three
days for every dollar of fines and costs.
O'Neil appealed and final judgment
was given against him by the supreme
court of Vermont in 1886. He APP
pealed to the United States supreme
court. That tribunal last week af-
firmed the decision OF the Vermont
court, and held that the sale of liquor
took place in Vermont. Justices Har-

sound Doctrine.

The Democratic party is to DO
congratulated. In declaring
through one of it's leading states
men, Senator German, Of Maryland
for liberal expenditures to construct
the new navy and against injudi-
cious economy in this regard, it
comes up to the patriotic platform
on which the Republican party has
so long stood. "The country"
says Mr.. German, ''should have a
n IVY to be proud of, and ! am not
prepared to let the cry Of ec,nomy
prevent me from voting for prop
or appropriation for it,"
This is sound doctrine. The

A short Talk On An Important
Subject.

Work at Murray Hill, as everywhere,
has been obliged to pick its way slow
ly through the backward Spring.
Notwithstanding some back sets on
account of the tardy season, some re-
liable and promising progress has been
made. Fine blocks of tempting grass
have been scattered over the future
home lots, preparatory to building /:
material has been collected, more or
less grading has been done and parti
cularly the opening of Franklin street
has brought the lovely sites of Murray
Hill into close communication with
the city. Mr.. Melvin is pushing bust
ness and inquiries for lots are of daily
occurrence. Very many of these choice
sites will be taken this season. Pros
nectors viii do well to complete their
selections before this Summer. Is q
great rush Is anticipated. The South
unfc mansion will soon be erected and
others will quickly follow. Now is the
sine 10 take hold of these invest

course of the year and those who buy

highly of Murray Hill property. It's

Mr.. Joseph J. Robinson, editor
and publisher Of the Homecoming
Star, was convicted in the circuit
court at Cumberland, on Tuesday,
of criminal libel upon Judge Hoff-
man and the States Attorney, Sher.

The suit arose out of an article pub
lished in the Star during the last
session Of the Legislature recon-
mending the passage Of a bill to
have juries drawn by commission
instead Of by the judge, as is now
done. Mr.. Robinson has taken an
appeal. He has also been re-arrest-

you break that barrier down you
