Pre-COnyentiOn Tumult.

The days Immediately preceding the
occurrence ofany great upheaval, in the
physical or political world, are apt to be
fruitful in commotion and prolific in
rumor. The sea-gull flies wildly about
and shrieks Historically before the
brooding tempest rises from the sea.
The air is heavy and mysterious phe-
nomena alright the people while We
suvius is in travail. On the eve of the
assembling of the Minneapolis conven-
ton, political sea-gulls are on the wing,
shrieking and yelling, the air is
loaded with rumors, and direful por-
tents issue from each smoking Etna of
pent-up ambition or personal disap-
pointment.
Timid republicans may be alarmed
by this pre-convention tumult, but there
is nothing in the situation that should
disturb him whose faith is strong, whose
convictions are clear and whose under
standing is enlightened. While it is
probably true that certain men of promi-
nence-if not of real eminence- in the
republican party are more or less
mixed up with schemes to change the
evident trend of popular preference in
respect of candidate for president,
it is also true that the democracy are
taking the larger and the leading part
in this attempt to inveigle the Mime
apolis convention into the commission
of colossal political blunder. Their
own party, torn by feuds and racked by
division on matters of principle-if there
is such thing as principle among the

For Mr.. Blaine's Friends.

Probably Mr.. Blaine has more warm
friends and admirers than any other
citizen of the United States. He will
have chance to test the unselfishness
of their friendship in the next few days.
The wishes of his family and the con-
dition of his health are considerations
which should be final in determining
him whether to be candidate or not.
If he feels himself physically strong
enough, and those closest to him are
satisfied as to his health, we presume
that he is under no obligations or en-
gagements which will prevent him from
accepting the nomination which his
party will offer him. But his sincere
friends will not urge him to take that
nomination simply because they think
it is necessary to the republican party
that he should be nominated. Mr..
Blaine has done good deal for the
republican party in his time, and no.
body has better right to take his ease
if he so wishes. AS democrats, we
should be sorry to see Mr.. Blaine NOM
mated, for he is hard man to beat.
But if his accepting the nomination
can be taken as testimony that this
generous and highly gifted statesman
is all right again, and fit as ever for the
fray, we shall welcome the nomination,
and trust that the democrats may have
the wisdom and the fortune to oppose
him with their strongest man.-NeC

The State Officers.

Three weeks from to-day the repub-
lican convention will assemble at Bur-
lington to nominate candidates for gov
ernor, lieutenant-governor, treasurer,
secretary of state and auditor. The
canvass for the first Office has made it
apparent that Colonel Levi X. Fuller is
the only candidate before the people
who is at all likely to be nominated, and
the probability that he will be chosen
with substantial unanimity grows
stronger every day.

"SUMMER HOMES Among the Green
Hills of Vermont, and Along the Shores
of Lake Champlain," is the title of a
finely printed and illustrated pamphlet
issued by the passenger department of
the Central Vermont railroad. The
natural beauties of Vermont, its many
attractions as summer home, have
been well advertised by the Central
Vermont railroad in recent years, and
the wide distribution which the PAM
phlet just issued is assured will prob
ably have very appreciate effect
upon the summer-boarder industry in
Vermont in 1892 The text of the
pamphlet is well written, and is pro-
fusely illustrated with views of the
Green Mountains and valleys, as seen
from the coaches of the Central Ver-
mont railroad. There is also long list
of places where board for the summer
in hotels and private families can be OBJ
tanned from So a week upward; also
their location and distance from the
railroad stations. Copies can be OBJ
tanned at the office of the general pas
senger agent, st. Adams, or at the New
England Office of the Central Vermont
railroad, 260 Washington street, Bos-
ton, and at its New York office, 1853
Broadway. -
THE majority sentiment, we believe,
is in favor of the selection of Colonel
Mason S. Colburn for Vermont's place
on the national committeeman this
without disparagement of Colone
Childs, the rival candidate. The latter
already holds two high official positions
in the party. Colonel Colburn has an
intimate knowledge of state politics, ex-
tending over period of twenty years.
He has hosts of friends, is personally
popular, and of his ability to perform
the. duties of the Office with entire ac-
ceptability to the republicans of the
state no one acquainted with him will
have shadow of doubt. He has had
brief term of service on the commit
tee, and its duties are not entirely I'M
familiar to him. Moreover, he comes
from Bennington county, and that pre-
cinct is not at present top-heavy with
official honors, and has not been for
quite many years, if we remember
correctly the arguments of its orators
in the party conventions. In this years
allotment of conventional honors, the
northern and middle parts of the state
seem to have been given something of
a preponderance. So as Colonel Col
burn is all right as to locality and quail
tications, il will be both just and right
for the delegates to offer him for Yer
mont's national committee member,
and the WATcHMAN hopes they will dc

Memorial Day.

Memorial day was observed at Montpelier
last Monday, in much the same fashion that
we have celebrated it year after year.
Memorial day nowadays means less of
sorrow and more Of joy. 1t brings to our
minds once year. at least. the thought of
how much we owe our soldier dead, and
quickens our reverence for the heroes of
'61-' 65 AS Sam Walter Foss says in the
Yankee Blade.
Not as white saints without blot
We celebrate the deeds they wrought
For they were made of average clay,
Asmortal men are made to-day
For always in dark hours of need,
A man is furnished for the deed;
And always when the storm clouds lower
Strong men are ready for the hour;
And thus from earth's most common breed
Spring heroes fit for every need.
These men were common men, It's true,
just common men like me and you,
The plain man is the basic cod
From which grow the demigod
And in the average man Is cured
The hero stuff that rules the world
And so we deck, ON hill and glen,
The hero graves OF common men-
Plain, common men of every day,
Who left their homes to march away
To perish the battle plain,
As common men will do again
To lift CHASTITY glazing eye
Tp through the belching battle smoke
Like rhythm-beats of destiny
70 lift CHASTITY glazing eye
Up to a lurid stranger sky
Until 1t sees painted rag,
The same old common spangled flag
To all the ages, far and nigh,
How commonplace it is TO die
1t is not merely now and then
We find such hearts in common men,
Such hero souls enwrapt away
In swathing folds of common clay,
For, standing face to face with fate
All common men always great.
For men are towards in the gloom
OF their own little, selfish fears
Not when the thunder steps of doom
Stride through the trembling years,
And in open fight with fate
All common men are always great
The town was gay with bunting, the
stores closed with the noon hour, and all
gave themselves over to the observance of
the day, each in his own fashion. In the
forenoon, the details from the Grand Army
and Woman's Relief Corps visited the Gem
eteries, and decked with flowers the grass
grown mounds that covered the sleeping
comrades. At two o'clock came the process
sion. Blanchard Opera-house was crowded
to listen to the exercises, which comprised
music by the band; prayer by the chaplain,
Rev. G. o. Webster; an excellent Grafton
by Rev. A. j. Hough; singing by the chill
dren; and the Memorial services, in which,
as they did last year, the little ones brought
words of praise and cheer and laurel
wreaths in honor of the comrades gone
before. Long may Memorial day live!

"There is no objection to Mr.. Cotton, but
it happens that he is one of the very men
who are opposed to the cry at this time for a
class candidate. He says, and every body
knows the fact, that the farmers are not
calling for a candidate. The scheme is
solely that of few editors. 1t may be in
teresting to the Herald to learn that Mr..
Cotton favors the candidacy of Colonel
Fuller and has frequently so expressed
himself"

At the Dinner Hour.

The national congress comprises with
in its bounds and metes q number of
great American citizens who are not
what might be called "de ligger" in So
ciety OF quite CONNIE il faut as to all the
proprieties, and their families are as yet
somewhat similar to them. One of these
new statesmen arrived with his wife and
four children one afternoon two or three
days before congress opened, and took
up his quarters in swell hotel. The
Youngsters, and in fact all of the family,
had concluded that coming to Washing
ton was fine thing and they enjoyed
the conclusion thoroughly.
At half past 6 they went into the din
ing room to dinner, but ''supper" as they
seemed to think. and the boy among
the children had both his eyes wide open.
When he had been seated he spotted a
gentleman across the table receiving his
dessert. Then he reached for his mother
with grab.
"Geo whiz, nlaw," he whispered, SO
everybody near could hear him, ''ain't

A GOOD RULE.
There Are Times When Arguing Case
Doesn't Uelp 1t.

There Are Times When Arguing Case
Doesn't Belp 1t.
A rule for living happily with others
is to avoid having stock subjects OF dis
putation. 1t mostly happens, when
people live much together, that they
come to have set topics around which,
from frequent dispute, there is such a
growth Of angry words, mortified van
ity and the like that the original sub
iect of difference becomes a standing
subject for quarrel, and there is ten
dency in all minor disputes to drift
down to it. Again, if people wish to
live well together, they must not hold
too much to logic, and suppose that
everything is to be settled by sufficient
reason. DR.. johnson saw this clearly
with regard to married people when he
said: '.Wretched would be the pair
above all names of wretchedness who
should be doomed toadjust by reason,
every morning. all the minute details
of a domestic day" But the ap-
plication should be much more
general than he made it. There
is no time for such reasonings, and
nothing that is worth them. And
when we recollect how two lawyers or
two politicians can go on contending,
and that there is no end of one-sided
reasoning on any subject, we shall not
be sure that such contention is the best
mode for arriving at truth. But GER
tainly it is not the way to arrive at
good temper.-N. Y. Ledger.

oil paintings. a center card-table, a
massive carved oak sideboard, and you

nished with all thet is needed for the
comfort Of its occupant Ben Ali Hog
gin occupies double apartment at the
Wilbraham. His six rooms are ar
ranged without any great display OF
wealth, although the pictures which
adorn the walls give one an insight into.
Mr.. Hoggin's way of thinking. They
are all excellent pictures of the
great animals he owns. In the Holland
house there is a bachelors floor. The
most elegant suite there.is occupied by
Messrs. Buckley and J. B. Campbell.
Here the Judgment of the hotel owners
was allowed supremacy, and as a result
a model bachelors apartment is pre-
sented. There arc two entrances to
each suite, one at the bed-chamber side
and the other into the parlor. Two,
bedrooms and library or smoking
room complete the apartments. The
ceilings are handsomely frescoed and
chiffonier, pier class, couch, hnely
upholstered chairs, moquette rugs and
damask curtains, relieved with a back
ground of white lace, complete this
model room. The billiard room on this
floor leads off from all the bachelor
apartments. In this respect the Hol-
land house owners have added feature
which is sadly missed by the man OF
fashion in the regular bachelor apart
ment houses. c. P. Diefendorf, whose
apartments are plainly but neatly fur
nisbed at the Wilbraham, has solved
one problem for the man of fashion.
His excellent taste is displayed in the
adornrnent of mantelpiece. The
massive bronze clock is fanl1ed by
bronze statuettes, while the mirror in
the background is rounded, reaching al
most to the ceiling. The woodwork
about it is carved and ornamented with
exquisite taste. On either side hang
sill1en curtains. 1t is understood that
John W. Macl1ey, Jr., is to have the
model bachelor apartments of the city
at the Belgravia, corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty-ninth street. He has
taken three rooms and they are to be
modelled after famous Paris design, OF
which the details have not yet been
given out.

In the Loo Choo islands there are some
strange social fashions. A Japanese gen
tlenaan who has recently returned to the
capital from tour in these islands states
that what mostly attracted his attention
was some curious marriage customs.
One consists in the bridegroom going
round to all his friends houses and per-
mitting them to dress him up in any
ridiculous style, that they fancy. Some
times the happy man is saarrayed IN gay
ly painted kimono. the sleeves OF which
are tied up with string laden with
bells. toys and trumpets. A mask is
then put on and red hat, the rig out"
being completed by an empty kerosene

posed that the third party will put out a

terry, but they are being manipulated by

they could never get the farmers to sup.

best thing is to get them to put out a

lottery forces into opposing factions.
