NOTE AND COMMENT.

The election was big surprise, but
a pleasant one.
Corruption in political circles has
not gained the upper hand, after all
Tammany heard something drop.
The Earth refers to the Burlington
Board of Trade as this harmless
body of best citizens" An unkind
cut.
Harrison to Greenhalge: please
accept my hcartiest personal con-
gratulations upon your notable sue
cess. The people of Massachusetts
apply the lesson of experience with
Yankee quickness.
The Boston Record says: Watch
him." and under these two words
places McKinley's portrait.
Greenhalge made clean, splendid
fight and deserved the big figures
accorded him.
Who and where is Judge Maynard
of New York, any way?
Annie Pixley, the well-known
American actress, died in London
last week.
Calvin Paige of New Hampshire
has been appointed collector for the
district of New Hampshire and
Vermont.
American lumbermen who operate
in Canada held meeting at Toron-
to the other day and anxiously dis
cussed the proposed revision Of the
United States tariff which now
stands at 81 per 1000 on pine lum-
Der and So on per 1000 on spruce
lumber.
The Princeton faculty keep up their
vigorous discipline of hazers. Prince
ton does we'll in squelching this relic
of barbarism.
Gov. Mckinley refused to join in a
big jollifcation over his victory, be-
cause the money which such cele-
bration would cost might better
"be expended for the benefit Of the
unemployed" That indicates an
appreciable sympathy for "the
masses" A man who is thus in
close touch with the common peo-
pie" will find them. in pretty close
touch with him.

This year the working men with
empty dinner pals were heard from.

cultural state?

LARGE FIGURES.

When somebody who was inter
viewed on the elections remarked
lacetiously that he had noticed
that only one side voted, good
point was made as touching the size
of the figures OF the victorious party.
The majorities have continued to
grow since Tuesday night, and are
a source of wonderment both to
victors and vanquished. The repub-
Iican smile was broad enough the
n orning after election. Its expan-
sion continued for three days after,
as the black districts" were heard
from.
Maynard, the besmirched candi-
date Of the bosses in New York state,
was defeated by fully 100000 plu-
rality while that for republican state
ticket as whole is 10000, and the
legislature is republican by stronger
majority than for some years past.
Add to this plurality in Brooklyn
of quite 10000 and the magnitude
Of that days work is apparent.
Figures in other states have grown
nightly also. Pennsylvania's re-
publican plurality is over $4,000.
1t takes over 10000 to tell OF Nc
Kinley's victory in Ohio. Green
halge picked up plurality of &c.
691 in Massachusetts,, and Jackson's
plurality in Iowa is $4,000. In
Kansas, South Dakota and Nebras-
ka the republicans were victors,
and even in Maryland they gained
several legislative districts. New
Jerseys legislature is republican by
a majority of one in the senate and
at least 20 in the assembly.
1t may be that parties on both
sides voted in the recent election.
But it can also be safely concluded
that a good many individuals on
one side decided to vote with the
other side this year. The surprise
was big one-and exceedingly
agreeable.

THE VERMONT BUILDING.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-In your issue
of November 9th there is quite a
long article in which the writer at
tempts to show that our state build
ing at Chicago was "a thing of beau
ty and a JOY forever" She says zone,
at least, who went to scott remained
to pray" Why pray? Was it be-
cause the building was a reminder OF
death, as it was copy Of the typ
ical dwelling of dead Pompeii, and
thus suggested the uncertainty OF
life and consequently prompted a
prayerful mood?
The location was all that we could

mournful paragraph in which it was
said that returns up to two o'clock

Other sections of that party could,

A HA WAIIdN SENSATION.

The queen with the long name
seems likely to resume her suprema-
cy over the Hawaiian Islands in the
near future-and that, too, by the
aid of the United States. Secretary
Gresham on Friday last created
genuine sensation in political circles
by giving out for publication a
lengthy report made by him to the
president. This document bears the
date OF October 1S, and recommends
the restoration of the Hawaiian
monarchy.
The secretary rehearses the events
leading up to the abdication Of
Queen Liliuokalani. He bases his
view of the situation for the most
part on statements made by Minis
ter Blount, who was sent to Homo
lulu by President Cleveland, and
maintains that Minister Stevens
recognition of the provisional gov
eminent was untimely and unjust to
the queen and her supporters; that
the movement against the reigning
sovereign was inaugurated and car
ried out mainly by aliens, and that the
native population had no hand in it
or desire for it; that the queen abdi-
Gated only to prevent conflict, and
under protest, pending the further
consideration of her case by this
government; and that simple JUS
tice calls for her reinstatement.
The publication Of this report, by
consent of the president, has elected
lively comment on all sides, and
some of the presidents friends do not
hesitate to declare that in thus COM
pletely reversing the policy of its
predecessor, opposing the re-submis-
sion of the Hawaiian treaty to the
senate and favoring a restored mon
archy, the administration has gone
too far.
ExMinister Stevens has come out
with a singing reoinder to Score
tary Gresham's report, in which he
charges that the administration
attempt to overthrow the provis
ional government at Honolulu is a
grave offence against American civil
lization, justice and law. He de
clares that call that American pietv
American benevolence, American
schools and American patriotism
have accomplished in Hawaii in tn,
past 70 years are now centralized
in the provisional government ant
stand in its support. 1t is a govern
ment honestly and ably administer
ed and the best government tina
Hawaii ever had"
Senator Morgan, chairman of tn
committee on foreign relations, is in
clined to view this latest move as
mistake; and political circles ar
likely to be stirred for time owe
the present humiliating aspects O
the Hawaiian question. II injustic
was done the queen by any repre-
sentative of the United States, rep
aration is certainly her due. Blu
that fact has not been fully estab
lished as yet.

The Swanton Courier copies what
the CALIFORNIAN said about the sale
of the Vermont building at Chicago,
and adds this guess and comment
concerning the buyer:
We haven't learned the name of the
artistically inclined plumber, but suspect
it is our hustling friend Campbell, who
went from Franklin county farm few
years ago, embarked in the plumbing
business in Chicago, with no knowledge
OF the trade and is growing up with the
windy city. 1t is just like Campbell to
want high art Pompeiian villa as q
chest for his plumbers tools. There is
nothing too rich for Campbell"

Franklin county people are feeling
well over their new Jail, which is
now substantially completed and
ready for occupancy, at cost Of
about $4,000. 1t is located of
course in St. Adams, and the citizens
of that town are far from depressed
over the change from the damp,
dark, unwholesome and disgraceful
edifce of so many years standing to
more modern and imposing struct-
ure. We congratulate Franklin
county and st. Adams on their &C.
QUESTION. We believe that the ex-
terror outlines of the new jail build
ing will strike the eye pleasantly,
but we trust the people of that Sec
ton will be perfectly content with
the outside AID not feel irresistibly
drawn towards the inside-even
though Sheriff Kelley has the repu.
tation of being a considerable land.

az the rendezvous since o'clock. The
labor leaders calculate that $4,000 men
were in line. No disturbance OF any
kind has been reported and mono is ex-
pected.
The parade was singularly free from
offensive hags and transparencies.
The men in line were joined at the
Battery by their wives and children,
and went TO Staten Island TO enjoy
themselves.
The wage-earners Of Brooklyn turned
out IA. 600 strong TO take part this morn

Imi.ators and Impostors.

The unequalled success OF ALLcocK's
Porous PLAsTERs as an external remedy
has induced unscrupulous parties to
offer limitations, which they endeavor
to sell on the reputation OF ALLcocK's.
1t is an absurdity to speak OF them in
the same category as the genuine porus
plaster. Their pretentions are I'M
founded, their Wanted merit unsupport-
ed by facts, their alleged superiority to
or equality with ALLcoCK's false pre-
tense.
The ablest medical practitioners and
chemists and thousands OF grateful
patients unite in declaring ALLcocK's
Porous PLAsTERs the best external
remedy ever produces.
Beware of initial ons. and do not be
deceived by Misrepresentation. Ask
for AILcocK's, and *t no solicitation or
explanation induce se' to fesD' a
