How to Land a Black Bass.

when black bass is hooked, the only
way you can Judge of his movements and
intentions is by the sense of feeling eXerted
through the rod and line, and by watching
the line at its point of contact with the
surface of the water,-f from which point
never remove your eye until he is brought
safely to bag says Charles Frederick
Danforth in July New England Magazine.
''He will resort to every means in his
power 10 get rid of the romorseless STEEL
sometimes breaking water four OF five
times. When fish is seen to be making
pellmell for the surface, and is bound to
get there no matter what happens, he can
often be checked, just before he breaks
water, by moving the rod quickly and
steadily to the right OF left, keeping taut
line, of course, all the while; bit,
should this not succeed and he breaks
water in spite of you, lower the point of
the rod little, otherwise it may be smash
ed. Care must be taken in this, in order
that he may not throw his weight and
bring the whole force of his jump to bear
on the straight taut, line or fall back on the
taut line, either of which is extremely
liable to produce the result spoken of. If
you get strike when trolling, keep the
line taut and the boat in motion, slacken-
ing its speed somewhat, Of course; for
give him but few inches of slack, and
up he goes into the air like rocket and is
gone"

A Song and Echo.

An inland city, titly named,
Between two murmlring streams she stands,
AS 10y a silver ribbon framed,
Set in the midst of fertile lands.
And all day long, if one might hear,
The ripping Massachusetts calls,
And Che true echo sweet and clear,
Comes back from Ticonic Falls
A long note, like a liquid trill:
so Waterville! no. Waterville!
A song with sweetest music rife,
The song Of rejoicing earth,
The happy song of daily life
OF new homes springing into birth;
The song of human hopes and loves
The murmuring Messalonskee calls,
From echoing Ticonic Falls
A long note, like a woodlands trill:
80, Wa1erville' no. Watervllle!'
And now old footsteps ring again
And through song old voices speak.
They sound an oft-repeated strain,
The story of Commencement week.
The same old song of moon and mist
The wooing Me SsalonSkee calls,
And still the white waves, starlight kissed
Foam over the Tconic Falls
They blend into one liquid trill:
so, Waterville. no. Watervillen'
Now through the song steals the church bell
1t grects the stranger, newly come,
1t sounds the long note of farewell
To him whose work With us is done.
"Oh, ii is not goodbye, goodbye
The nlIlmuring MesSalonskee calls,
For manhood lessons never die
Comes back the echo of the Falls,
The man may pass. his deed lives still
o. WaterNiIe, no! Watervllle

Bradley b. Smalley caused mild sensa-
ton on Monday, by statement made by
him in New York, and telegraphed to the
daily papers, that if contest was made
over the Vermont governorship it probably
would go to Allen, the Prohibition cand-
date, Fuller, StTanahan, Smalley himself,
and Wall, all being ineligible under the
Vermont constitution because they are di-
rectors or other officers of national banks.
The constitutional provision to which ref
erence was made is contained in Section
26, which reads: "Nor shall any person
holding any Office of profit or trust under
the authority of Congress, be eligible to
any appointment on the legislature, or of
holding any executive or judicial Office un-
der the state
In 1888 this provision was amended so
as to make the words "office of profit or
trust" mean "office created directly or in
directly by Congress, and for which emol-
ument is provided from the treasury of the
United States, which evidently "lets
OUT national bank officials. The fact is,
however, Col. Smalley to the contrary not
withstanding that Gov.-elect Fuller is not
a national bank director, and has never
held any Office created by act of Congress.
If he lives until next Wednesday he will
be inaugurated governor of Vermont.

publican party has "bOld determination
to control state elections through federal
agencies, and "to secure the ascendancy of
a dscredited party in reckless disregard of
free expression of popular will"
His expression on the silver question is
an attempt to harmonize the differing opin-
ions on this subject. He makes no allu-
sion whatever to the Democratic demand
for the repeal of the state bank tax and
the consequent return to wildcat curren-
cy. His paragraph on soldiers pensions,
with its declaration that "our pension roll
should be a roll of HONOR would sound
well were it not for the recollection of the
feeling of animosity toward the veterans
and their pensions shown by him in his
many vetoes of pension bills while occu-
pying the Presidents chair.
He declares for the construction of the
Nicaragua ship canal, for restricted immi-
grafton, and for a proper effort on the part
of the government to ensure the success of
the Columbian worlds fair.

The Valley Fair continues to set the
pace, to excel itself, to be the leading eX-
hibition of its kind in New England.
The display in the several departments
Wednesday and Thursday was something
remarkable, and all in all surpassed that
of any previous year
The weather was propitious-g genuine
New England fall weather, with bright,
cheering sunshine, a suggestion of coming
freshness in the air, and bracing tonical
effect which put everybody in good humor.
The attendance was commensurate with
the exhibition. Wednesday over 1000 peo-
pie were present, and Thursday the figures
went beyond the 1900 mark by several
hundred. 1t was the largest attendance
seen at any Valley Fair yet
Briefly, the fair picture Gn two senses
was that of large and orderly crowd view
ing sleek, high-blooded horses; registered
and other valuable cattle sheep, swine,
poultry and dogs which delighted the
hearts of fanciers and won words of admir-
ing comment from all; hall filled with the
best specimens of the products of the agri-
culturist and horticulturist; mechanical and
agricultural implements which emphasized
the story of machine work and mans in
ventive genius; fancy articles which wom-
ans deft hands had formed, merchants
goods. etc, etc, in bewildering success
sion to the end.
And the races-never did horses in Yer
mont show such speed. The state record
fell, and thousands cheered the favorites
as they sped on
The balloon ascension was a pretty
sight, as the aerial ship rose gracefully up
ward, and the young girl gazed calmly on
the crowd beneath and acknowledged their
greetings.
But the feature which was paramount
was the aesthetic coaching parade of Thurs
day morning-a fleeting vision of loveliness
which dwells in the mind like a memory of
fairyland
The pen pictures of The Phoenix staff
tell in detail the story of the seventh annual
Valley Fair.

THE BENCH SHOW.

The bench show was not large, but of
good quality. In numb ers the fox hounds
held first place, and Sc veral of the speci-
mems of this class took high rank. The
fanciers were loud in their praise of H. r.
Lawrence's fox terrier, II. j. Richmond's 5
Scotch collie and Eugene Clark red setter
Other good dogs we're F. j. Ferrlters S
English bull Mr.. Lovelrs beagles from
Putney and r. H. Bakers Cocker spaniel.
f. II. Miller's Pounce and Topsy, bull
terriers, which have been on exhibition at
each fair, were again objects of admring
comment for those whose taste runs to
fighting dog. Topsy has always won first
prize here, and Pounce has always taken
first or second. Pounce is the hero of
many a hard-fought battle. Mr.. Starkey
and Mr.. Pierce showed good coon dogs,
and their merits were made more striking
by the display of about a dozen coons
which they had brought down. Novelties
were the tame coons owned by Carlton and
Clifton Howe of Newfane and the foxes by
M. r. Nelson of BernardstOn

Mr. CIeveland's Letter.

Mr.. Cleveland's lOng-delayed letter of
acceptance was printed in Tuesdays pa
pers. In its substance it adds little to the
literature of the campaign. In the main
it is a:gingerly treatment of the issues un-
der discussion, and bears the unmistaka-
BILE marks of having been labOriously
wrought out after repeated consultation
with the Democratic managers to smooth
over the bad places in their fight which
the canvass has developed.
More than half the letter is devoted to
the tariff. gMr, Cleveland no longer makes
the outspoken declaration that the whole
amount of the duty is added to the price
paid by the consumer, but he still argues
that the tariff is a tax whose burdens we
''too palpably'' feel to be persuaded that it
is paid by the foreigner. In what way
this burden is felt, with all facts and sta
tistics showing a reduction in the cost of
living under the tariff of 1890, Mr.. Cleve-
land does not explain. In view of the
bald declaration of the Chicago platform
that "we denounce Republican protection
as fraud Mr.. Cleveland's letter reads
strangely when he goes on to show that
the Democratic policy does not mean free
trade, but simply 'readjustment' of tar
iff duties with "the advantage of freer raw
materials to our7manufacturers and fair
and careful distribution of necessary tariff
burdens"
His next subject is the freedom of cleo
tions In the paragraph devoted TO this
he attempts to foster whatever feeling has
been stirred up on the 'force bilr' issue
by asserting, by intimation, that the Re

Gen. John Pope, who commanded the
Union forces at the second battle of Bull

Captain A. G. Wessert, of Milwaukee,
the new commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army, was born at Camden, Ohio, but en-
listed, at the very outbreak of the civil
war, in the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers.
This was the famous "War Eagle regi-
ment, which carried all through the war
the symbolic bird of freedom, which was
named sold Abe'' in honor of President
Lincoln. Mr.. Weissert was badly wounded
before Nashville, in December, 1864, and
received his captains commission for his
gallantry on that occasion. He has been a
successful lawyer since his return to civil
life, and was for several years department
commander of the Grand Army in WiscOn-
sin.
