The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-07-19

A CHOICE bit of wisdom may be con-
densed into pithy sentence: Avoid
explanations. In some families moth
ing is taken for granted. Every action,
every decision, every new departure,
every acceptance or rejection of an in.
vitation, must be endlessly talked and
fused over, explained and re. explained.
In that way lie all sorts of stumbling
blocks. AS rule, beyond your
parents or your husband there is
nobody who has the right to demand OF
you explanations at each step of your
onward path. Don't give them. Es-
tablish a reputation for keeping your
own counsel. 1t will serve you we'll in
many crisis, and be no end of COM
fort.

Fields and Hobson's speeches were a
rehash Of the old. old story Of hard times

necessity for combination 20 obtain relief

discussion OF President Cleveland's pro-

him with a misstatement OF the facts In
regard 10 the enforcement OF the Sherman
law, when he and Harrison had failed
10 execute the law fully, especially i'm
not coming the silver bOugls. and with
great FEASIBILITY declared that the Sher-
man law had no evil in II. Whilst he
was not an apologist for II, the Sher-
man law should not be repealed until the
old law was re-established putting silver
on equal footing with gold; that there was
no obligation or promise anywhere by
the Government to pay gold for any indebt-
edness; that all OF the silver bullion
bought by the Government should have
been paid for i'm silver. He also declared
that the Democratic party, which had
had absolute control Of the State Govern
ment since the war. except for four years,
had taxed the lands and wage-workers
unfairly n had been partial TO cor
porations; that the people this year would
elect a Governor and Legislature 10 undo
all this bad legislation and correct all
evils.

A very large crowd, including many la

between the Virginia Military Institute
and Petersburg ball clubs. The grand
stand was filled with V. Nj. J..
students. who occasionally encour-
aged their club with their dia-
bolical C ollege yell. However. the
men from Lexington were doomed 10 de-
feat, and at the end Of the game the
score stood IL to 5. in favor of the home
team. For seven innings the game was
unusually exciting. and, Notwithstanding
the loose fielding of both sides, many
pretty plays were made
Biscoe pitched for the visitors. and had
he been well supported the result might
rave been different. He is one OF the
best pitchers that has been here this sea-
son and several Of our best batters were
unable to gauge his curves. He was
caught by Carmichael in fairly good style.
The home team began the game with a
new pitcher, O'Hara by name. who did
fairly well until the fourth inning. when
he was batted for four singles. which
yielded three runs. He gave way TO June
