THE KITE Is SAFE.
The Peary Party, with One Exception,
Has Arrived at St Johns N f.

The Peary Party, with One Exception.
Has Arrived at st. Johns, n. f.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. PA special dis
patch to The Ledger from st. Johns, N.
f., says: The Kite has arrived here from
North Greenland, whence she sailed on
Aug. q. On board are the entire Peary
relief expedition in good health, with
Lieutenant and Mrs. Peary and party, ex-
cept John NJ. Vorhoff, who, it is believed
lost his life shortly after the return of
Peary from the IEland ice by falling into
the crevasse of glacier at the head of
Roberts Sound bay a body of water ad-
Joining Mccormick bay, while on an expe-
dition of his own to a neighboring Eskimo
settlement.
Notwithstanding persistent search for
several days, Mr.. Verhoff's body was not
found. There were abundant traces of
his having gone on the glacier and none
of his having crossed it. John NJ. VerhOff
came from Louisville, and was about
% years old. He had been student at
Yale. He had charge of the meteorological
and mathematical affairs of the expedi-
ton.
With the exception of this causalty the
two expeditions have beeni eminently sue
cessful. Mr. Peary carried out his plans
fully and made great inland journey of
1900 miles with Mr.. Astrupp, and through
the members of his party who remained
at Mccormack Bay he has made a rich
collection of flora, fauna and ethnology Of
North Greenland, besides which he has
demonstrated the ease and comfort with
which winter can be spent in the Arctic
regions.
The relief expedition has been equally
fortunate. Throughout the voyage no
serious mishaps occurred and the collec-
tions made ale probably unprecedented.

Mr.. Harrison's Letter of accept
ance was given to the public last
week. 1t is an able document. 1t
sets forth in unanswerable logic the
Republican policy of fostering every
kind of industry possible for the
American people, and points out the
advantages already achieved in Civ
ing American workmen greater scope
for their genius than they have
ever had before and in enabling them
to obtain greater returns for their
labors. 1t shows the folly of the re-
dictionary policy proclaimed by the
leaders of the Democratic party and
discloses the disasters that would
overtake the country if it should OBJ
tain control of the government
President Harrison is the friend of
the laboring man. He has shown
this not only by utterances similar
to that in his letter of acceptance,
but in his official capacity whenever
opportunity offered he has used his
best efforts for him.

Columbian Day.

The time has come when the var
ious schools of our country must de-
eide whether they will observe the
18th day of October in commemora-
ton of the discovery of America. The
idea was first suggested by the
Youths Companion; the first APP
prevail came from the public schools,
hundreds of letters from schools all
over the country applauded the sug-
gestion.
1t is proposed that the public
schools observe the day with some
uniformity. The circulars sent out
by the executive committee suggest
ed raising and saluting the flag by
the different schools in the forenoon,
and mass meeting in the afternoon
at the largest hall ofscholars and all
others interested The committee
promised to furnish a uniform pro-
gramme for all public schools, sparing
neither time nor money to make it
the best possible. We understand this
programme can be secured upon appli-
cation to Francis Bellamy, Youths
Companion, Boston, Mass.
The committee say this celebration
looks forward as well as backward.
Tennyson says that ''Men may rise
on stepping-stones of their dead
selves to higher things" and it will
be impossible to have this day cele-
brated without casting a horoscope
of the future as well as taking a sur
vey of the past; and the younger gen
Grafton which thus shares in the cele-
bration will look forward into the fu-
ture with thespirit of those who catch
the national impulse Tor greater and
higher things. How grand it would
be if the thirteen million public school
scholars of the United States should
join in observing this important day.
Let not the schools of Lamoille coun-
ty fail in their duty.

RINGING WORDS.

FROM A PROMINENT AND EMINENT d.
NE.-STATEMENTS THAT ARE TRUE
AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.-READ
WHAT HE SAYS, FOR HIS WORDS ARE
OF GREAT AND PECULIAR INTEREST.
No one knows better than the faith
full pastor the great value of sound
physical and nerve strength. The
strain upon brain and nerve, the
physical exhaustion following exces-
slve work, the responsibilities and
sympathies with Affections and the
myriad cares makes the earnest
preachers duties arduous and wear
ing in the extreme.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the
strong and ringing words of praise
which the eminent divine, Rev. C. D..
r. Meacham, gives that most won
derful of medicines, Dr. Greene's Ner-
Vura blood and nerve remedy. When
he was run down in health, weak in
nerves, Frustrated in strength, and
with his blood impaired, he was re-
stored to sound and vigorous health
by this marvellous health renewer.
Here are the exact facts in his own
words:
II am very glad to say in regard
to DR.. Greene's great remedy that
when my blood was badly impover-
ished by an old scrofula humor, and
my nervous system was greatly i'm
paired, DR.. Greene's medicine gave me
wonderful relief.
cat the present time my health is
as good as at any timein my life, and
my confidence in DR.. Greene's RENE
dy is constantly INCREASING.
REV. C<'SA. R. MEACHAM.
Pastor Baptist Church,
Townshend, VT"
We have published the testimonials
of vast numbers of people who were
cured by the use of the great discov-
cry, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, but we take more pleas
ure in giving to the world Rev. Mr..
Meacham's own words in regard to
the wonderful benefits he received
from this valuable remedy, because
we realize that the earnest words of a
minister will have great weight with
sufferers from disease, and everybody
who reads his convincing words in
regard to the sure and remarkable
curative powers of this medicine will
lose no time in securing a bottle and
thus obtain cure.
1t is purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless, and is kept by all druggists
at $1.OO.
Its discoyerer is the welI-known DR..
Greene of 81 Temple Pl., Boston,
Mass, who gives consultation and
advice free to the sick, personally or
by letter. The sick should use i'm
mediately DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, for it is not only
the best remedy ever discovered, but
those using it have the privilege of
consulting DIR. Greene concerning it's
effects, their health, etc, This fact
alone guarantees the assurance of
cure. Ifyou need medicine do not
fail to take this best of all remedies.

John G. Whittier.

John Greenleaf Whittier, who was
one of Americas ten great poets, has
passed away. He has lived for more
than fourscore years and at last is
called home, before old age had pal
sled his arm or weakened his mind,
In fact, the autograph letter sent to
Henry c. Bowen at Roseland Park,
Conn, in which he expressed his re-
greet at being unable to attend the
Fourth of July exercises at that place
this year, and which was reproduced
in the Independent a few weeks ago,
was as bold and clear and as free
from any tremor of age as though it
had been written by young man in
the prime of life.
And what a life it has been Gentle
and tender as woman, pure as truth
itself, with only kindly, noble
thoughts finding expressionin loving
deeds and words, his life has been an
honor to his kind. Every one who
has read his verse loved this modest,
gentle, supplemented man, and thou
sands in every English-speaking land
who never saw his face will be sad
dened at his death. How could one
gain more honor upon earth than
has been his living and dying.

SUGAR GOES UP.

A Notable Advance in the Wholesale
Rates in the Past Few Days.
Boston, Sept 9.-There has been sharp
and steady advance in the price of sugar
since Aug. q, when dealers prices were
from $4.S7 1-2 to $4.94 per hundred pounds.
On Sept 2 the price bounded up to from
s. to S5O7 and now it is s.. Is to 1926, with a
fair prospect of going still higher. Sorapid
has been the advance that since it started
it was forced ahead twice the same day.
Different causes are assigned for this, such
as the cholera making panicky market
and the lessening of the supply through
the failure of the best crop abroad. The
consumer who has to pay the penalty may
be so unkind as to think that neither is
the true cause, but that they are the
victims of speculation.

The Washington Post, commenting
on the report of Labor Commissioner
Peck, the New York Democratic Off
cial, on the "effect of the tariff on
wages and labor" makes some re-
marks that contain very profound
suggestion. Democrats ought to
study this paragraph attentively:
ga year ago he (Mr. Peck claimed
in his report that the effects of strikes
and labor agitation was to increase
wages. He illustrates this by dates
and tabular statements, and made
out in fact, a very creditable prima
facie case. A few weeks ago, when
the Homestead troubles broke out,
the Democratic organs, almost with
out exception, united in the vehement
declaration that they were the direct
and logical fruit of protection. How,
therefore, could Peck, as a loyal
Democrat, speak otherwise than he
did? The Democratic leaders and
newspapers asserted practically with
one voice, that protection lay at the
root of strikes-what conclusion was
possible to him except the conclusion
that the Mckinley tariff operated to
increase the workingman's wages"
Mr.. Cleveland is in peck of trouble
in New York State, through the Of
flee of the man he appointed commits
sioner of labor.
The Critic says of the literary sty lie
of "The Writings and Speeches of
Grover Cleveland" that it is heavy
and circumloeutious oftener than
simple and graceful.
Milton (Pa.) Miltonian: Grover
Cleveland has been angling for d. b.
Hill ever since the Chicago Conven-
ton, but the impression is that he
spit upon Hill instead of his bait.

NOTES.

Col. Alfred A. Hall of st. Adams,
one of the Senators-elect from
Franklin county, is mentioned as
president pro tenn of the next Senate.
Col. Hall is one of the active young
Republicans of Franklin county, is
able and in every wag well fitted for
the position. His friends, and there
are legions of them in the state, hope
that he will be honored with this
position.
There isn't much doubt but that
W. w. Stickney of Ludlow will be the
next Speaker of the House. True,
this is his first election as Represent
ative, but he has for several sessions
been the efficient clerk of that body
and no one understands parliament
tary rules better, or has the faculty
presiding over legislative body
with more promptness than he. Be
sides, he is very popular and We
think will distance all other aspir-
ants for this position.
The Democrats will have about
half the number of Representatives
in the coming Legislature that they
had two years ago. Conspicuous
among the absentees will be "Yern .
Billiard, who was rather prominent
in the 80 session. He is left at home
this trip-G. E. Terrill, very popu-
lar young Republican, wrestling the
honors from him in Democratic Tn
derhill.
Randolph had no less than thirteen
candidates for Representative. The
only difference between this and
other towns is that in this town the
aspirants were not backward in com
ing forward. Every town in the
state always has a dozen or SO of
would-be candidates, but they are
usually out of the race before election
day.
From every direction comes good
words concerning "Gen." Boynton,
the Democratic Representative-elect
from Montpelier. He is certainly a
lsvel-headed fellow, and will prove a
competent and judicious legislator.
He will undoubtedly be the leader of
the minority.

General E. W. Whitaker of Wash
ington is the owner of a part of the
flag of truce employed by General
Lee on the surrender to General Grant
at AppomatOx. The flag was a large
white towel, but piece of it was cut
off several years ago and presented
to General Custer. who was Whittak-
er's old commander. Whitaker, as
a member of Clusters staff, received
the flag on the occasion of the sur
render from Captain Sims to General
Longstreet's staff. The use of the
towel was very significant, as it indi-
Gated that Lee had been wiped out
and he had no further use for it. 1t
