Probably enough has been said to in
duce republican voters to be at the polls
the first Tuesday in September. but we
will venture to add a word more.
The result in Vermont will be watched
with a great deal more care and
anxiety by all parties than ever before.
Two years ago the Democrats seemed
to have everything their own way, and
they hope to continue in the majority.
But it is very evident that great
change has taken place in the opinions
OF the people. The working of the
Mckinley bill having had chance to be
tried is proving to be for the best
interests of the country This is very
evident to all honest readers and OBJ
servers. But yet there has been nothing
to make decisive mark in that direc-
ton. All parties expect the coming
election in Vermont to make that de-
cisive mark-to be the index finger to
point the course for the future. Of
course Vermont will be republican,
but a majority of only fifteen thousand
would indicate that democracy and
free trade are to prevail, while a ma
jority of twenty thousand and up.
wards would surely indicate that the
whole country is swiftly swinging
back to its faith i'm Harrison and pro-
lection as exhibited four years ago.
There are republicans enough in
Vermont to give majority of thirty
thousand in September if all vote.
Let no man who loves his country STAY
away from the polls at that time. A
large majority for the republican can
didate for governor means encourage
ment to republicans all over the union,
and Encouragement to democracy,
Let every man resolve that he will be
on hand himself and see that his neigh
bors do not stay at home. 1t is said
with too much truth that republicans
are fair weather politicians. Some of
our friends express dissatisfaction
with the new ballot law, and few
even go so far as TO say they will not
vote at all. This is hardly the decis-
ion of a reasonable man. The act of
voting is very simple under the new
law and there need be no trouble or
mistake about it. Let every voter be
on hand and he will find the way made
very plain and easy for him TO vote for
whom he wishes, and no one the wiser.
In Massachusetts where the Australian
ballot law has been tried all are pleas
ed with it. 1t is simple enough for
the voters provided the officers do
their duty as they probably will.
Don't fail to vote for state and county
officers town representative and JUS
tees.

AS will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns the Fairlee Gran
lite Company has secured articles Of in
corporation and are ready to proceed
to business, the capital stock of the
same having been subscribed for. AS
most of our readers know, this quarry
lies just this side of Fairlee Mountain
and only two miles and half south of
our village. 1t does not require much
of a stretch of the imagination to prog
nosticate that in the near future Brad
ford will experience a boom, solid
growth such as Barre has had tilfing
the past few years. The offices will
probably be located here aad the trade
must inevitably come this way. Our
citizens should do all in their power to

perts pronounce the stone to be fully
equal to the celebrated Quincy granite,
the supply Of which is becoming linn
tied. The Fairlee Company's supply
is practically inexhaustable.

interest not only to the soldiery but to
all who may attend. Capt. Herbert s.

been detailed by direction of the Sec
rotary of War to inspect the troops
during the encampment and make re-
port to the war department of the con-

great days, and unless person is to be
in camp all through the muster, these
days or one of them should be selected
to be there present. The Bradford

The republican rally at Bradford
last Saturday was great success not
withstanding the rain. There was a
good attendance at Village Hall of la
dies as well as gentlemen, and the
speeches were good. Prof. Markham
added very much to the interest of the
occasion by his original, patriotic and
political songs that had point to
them. Bradford Cornet Band was on
hand with good music and helped to
keep up the enthusiasm. Ex-Gov.
Farnham presided and opened the ex-
ercises with short speech. Maj. Wat
son made a good argument for pro-
lection, and Col. Geo. w. Hooker gave
some practical views of the question
that went home to the convictions of
the hearers. He was limited as to time
but he packed a great deal of valuable
truth into a nut shell.
The banner that was put out ON the
occasion shows portraits of Harrison
and Reid on each side, with the god
dess of Liberty and flags between.
Upon one side of the banner is inscrib-
ed Headquarters of Bradford Repub-
lican Club, Harrison and Reid, Fuller
and Stranahan." Upon the other side

Vice President, Whitelaw Reid of New

George Washington.

1t will not be exactly in the nature of
news to inform our readers that George
Washington was born Feb. %, 1882, still
some Of our readers might forget it,
But he had been dead over ten years be-
fore his surviving fellow countrymen
began to think what a very great man
he had been, and they resolved to cele-
brate his birthday. Soon after this be-
gan the miracle period Of American his
tory writing, when every Revolutionary
general became a demigod and every Eng
lishman a coward, and a horse thief and
liar besides Then it was that George
Washington began to loom up in all the
proportions Of hero of mythology
The stories that were printed in the early
United States histories Of him and other
Revolutionary worthless would bring
blush to the cheek of Colonel Sellers.
The glamor has been stripped from
most of these miracle tales. 1t is an
image breaking age. They say now that
George was not a statesman, nor even
great soldier He did not do his own
literary work: no, not the composition
of his farewell address He did swear
actually use profane language-espe-
cially at Monmouth. He had tremen
dous sense Of his own dignity and de-
cided weakness for the fair sex. And
his greatest sin is that he wrote some
love poetry that boy of fifteen ought
to have been ashamed Of
So far the glamor that shimmered
around George Washington has fickered
out. At one point, however, it yet lin
gers, growing even brighter, like
steady fame. Nobody has as yet been
able TO prove that George ever told a
lie. The Ratchet story is long since ex-
ploded, Pigment as it was of the fertile
imagination Of Rev. Mr.. Weems. But
still the basis of fact remains. If Wash
ington ever told lie nobody has so far
been able to prove it on him This is
great. Let us still adore the memory of
George, for here he stood alone, Mod
ern degeneracy had not reached him."
If he had lived in our time, probably
even he could not have helped send
ing word that he was out when an
agent called to see him, but he did
not live in our time So we may still
worship the name Of George Washing
ton. Let us worship it strong, for we
live in a time when, like the little girl
in the story, many people would rather
tell thousand lies than cut down one
cherry tree.

1t is often very difficult to get grass to
grow under the shade Of trees, and yet in
places where something green to cover the
ground is very desirable number Of
plants have been named as being adapted for
furnishing these green surfaces. The com
mon periwinkle is one of the best known
another excellent thing is some of the
species of hyperium, two European species,
II. calycinum and H. androsmRfolium
thrive particularly in these comparatively
dry and shady places. Another very fine
thing is the japanese honeysuckle. It
keeps very low, and perhaps is better
substitute for grass than many of the
others named There are two forms which
can be employed for this purpose, one FIRE
quently known in catalogues as halliana,
and the other form as the L. brachybotria

anese evergreen honeysuckle, although the
varieties are all more or less evergreen

THE TEMPERANCE UNION
Communicated


This organization in this city has
become one Of the wonders of the mar
velous growth that has so distinctively
marked the advancement and develop
ment of the Bay cities. 1t is no longer
an experiment, as the crowds that fill
the auditorium and throng the CALLER
les to overlooking at each Of its weekly
meetings bear witness. 1t has become
one Of the greatest organizations for
good on Puget sound, if not the great
est in the state. 1t has been kept free
from all sectarian and political domi-
nation and influence and has conse-
quently had the hearty support and
approval Of all classes and conditions
of people. The interest of its members
in the discussion and consideration of
the important questions that have
come before it, has never tagged for
a moment. Let US hope that this
union, together with the free reading
room that had its origin i'm the same
great movement may now be regarded
among the fixed institutions of the
city. And they are institutions that
can and will accomplish incalculable
good.
It speaks well for us in the older
communities of the country, where the
impression prevails in many instances,
that the far West is nothing more than
a rendezvous of desperadoes and crimi-
mails Of the worst type, and fit place
only for missionary work and not for
homes. We can have no better adver-
tisement abroad than the existence Of
such institutions, to say nothing of the
great moral and refining influence
they exert upon our people at home.
Let the good work go on, and may il
be conducted with the same wisdom
and good judgment in the future that
has characterized its management
hitherto and receive the same hearty
cooperation and approval Of the peo-
pie.

The Meade Claim.

The celebrated Meade claim is one Of the
most remarkable known. More money has
been spent by the government in printing
documents relating to the case than the en-
tire sum demanded, which is 800, 900
That amount was lent to Spain by Mr.
Meade, father of General Meade, to help
buy Florida When the United States
purchased Florida from Spain, this coun
try agreed, as part Of the bargain to rs
sumo all debts outstanding on Florida's
account. OF such debts, that owed to Mr.
Meade was the principal one. 1t has never
been paid and never will be paid, because
AS one congressman said frankly. it is too
much cash to hand over in a lump Spain
is willing to liquidate the claim If congress
will declare formally that the United
States refuses to pay. but congress has not
acted on the proposition. w Washington
