A NATTER OF BUSINESS.

The unanimity with which the re-
publican state ticket was put into
the field, and the present poor health
of the dem ocratic party in general,
should not be taken by republican
voters in Vermont as reasons for any
degree OF apathy in the present cam
paign.
The election OF Gov. Woodbury.
and all associate with him on the
ticket is purely a matter of business,
and every voter of that political
complexion should see to it that his
individual part in this business is at
tended to promptly.
Our friends, the enemy, who have
had quite a little to say of late con-
corning a 'housecleaning" in Yer
mont politics, have doubtless been
drawing largely on their magma
ton; but they have a reputation for
getting to the polls without regard
to the weather or the dimness of
their prospects, and they will make
an effort this fall to keep the major
ity down to as low figure as posi-
bic. If corresponding effort is not
made on the other side, the figures
will not read we'll after the votes are
counted. If the republican party of
Vermont is wide awake to its op-
portunity in this year of democratic
national administration and mas
terly inactivity, the majority in
September for Woodbury. and Man
sur will be something that the state
will be proud to look back upon.
Let no "walkover" feelingo of secur-
ity take possession of the various
town and county committees. The
campaign is not to be a long or
wearing one, and these organiza-
tions owe it to their party to keep
moving energeticaliy and arrange
for full vote. The ticket through
out is an excellent one; nationally
speaking, this is not an off year
except, possibly, for the ''ins"-and
there is no good reason why Yer
mont should not throw out a row
of figures next month that will de-
light republicans all over the coun-
try.
Personal interest in the campaign
will accomplish the desired result.
Keep an eye out for "the other fell
lows" and make the majority large.

NOTICE..

Having been in the meat business one year,
August Is, and doing a credit business, we
think better way for both our
customers and ourselves. We propose to
SELL FOR CASH,
and in this way cut down loss and expense,
W hich we shall give our customers the bene-
fit Of There are many ways of losing m oney
in credit business-loss of bad bills-loss of
interest on large amounts charged on our
books-loss of great many goods that go
out without being charged-and many other
ways not known to a cash business. For
these reasons shall on and after
AUGUST is, 1894,
sell for CASH only. Do not ask us for
credit. not for a very short time, for
there is only one place to draw the line, and
that is not to charge anything to any one.
We have large list of customers which we
would like and shall accommodate in other
ways, but cannot trust our goods to
any one, no matter how good financially
they may be- We can give GOOD VALUE
FOR THE MONEY, but we cannot run an
account.

have placed as much new Endowment
Insurance on my books the first six
months of this year as 1 did all told in
1898. The reason is plain. The general
public are beginning to appreciate the
many liberal features of my company,
including Cash Surrender Values every
year, not once in 3, 10, Is or 20 years,
similar to some companies advertising
cash values. Also Annual Dividends,
which are found very satisfactory, and
absolute impossibility to forfeit policy
under the Massachusetts laws. My

In 1892 the democratic Chicago
Herald urged everybody to vote for
"Cleveland and S1.25 for wheat"
In 1894 the Chicago Herald quotes
wheat at 46 cents per bushel and
comments on the excellence of the
berry, but does not attempt to ex-
plain why it should be 46 cents in
stead of 81 25. The change which
the Herald advocated in 1892 has
come, and even the Herald fails to
appreciate it.

ALMOST Il DILEMMA.

The republican party of Caledonia
county has just had an object lesson
on the necessity of careful attention
to duty on the part of the officers of
nominating conventions; and has
narrowly escaped turning over the
county Offices to the democrats, who
would probably have accepted them
gracefully.
The officers of the recent republi-
can county convention failed to file
with the county clerk the nomina-
tions made by that body. The law
requires that this shall be done with
in al least thirty days of the date of
the state election. The matter seems
to have been entirely forgotten. and
but for a timely discovery of the
omission by Robert Simonds of the
county clerks Office, an awkward
dilemma would have resulted.
On Monday Mr.. Simonds found
that the nominations had not been
filed, and promptly made a move to
remedy the difficulty. Section seven
of the law provides that candidates
may be certified in by the signatures
of at least one per cent Of the voters
of the county, of the same political
division, and this phase of the law
was taken advantage of. The GER
tihcate was circulated and the sigma
lures obtained, the document being
filed with the county clerk before
midnight of Monday, the last chance
to come within the demands Of the
statute.
The managers of the democracy
came near getting into a similar
predicament, being compelled to hold
their county convention a week ear
lier than it was at first called, in or
der to satisfy the law.
This little episode goes to show
that there is no danger Of getting
too familiar with the details OF so
important law, and the OtlcerS
of nomina ting conventions can af-
ford to consult the statutes occa-
sionally.
AS result of recent action by the
Dominion government, it will now
cost American sportsmen five dollars
to fish in Canadian waters. The
tax was formerly one dollar, but
Canada is sadly in need of that ex-
ira four dollars; hence the rise.
The Dominion should be more friend
" in the matter of fish. The loose
ness with which she has looked after
her own fishermen and their seines, in
the vicinity of Missisquoi bay, for
instance, has stirred up the fishing
communities on the west side of this
state many time and oft.

Much regret Is expressed throughout
Yakima over the defeat OF /. S. Hewlett
for the congressional nomination at the
Spokane convention. Mr. Hewlett made
q gallant fight without money or recogni-
ton from the political powers. His sup
port was due to his own good qualities
and his strong personal friendships
throughout the state. Nominations at
the hands of the republicans are not due
so much to the fines Of the candidates
or personal worth as to combinations,
and the big counties with their numeri-
cally strong delegates look with disdain
upon county having but few delegates
no matter what may be the candidates
qualifications OF mind and heart. Mr..
Hyde the congressional nominee from the
east side is brother-in-law of Jim Nc
Naught, the Northern Pacific railroad
attorney. He is a lawyer by profession
without practice or standing sufficient to
detain him from accepting the receiver
ship Of the Pennington branch of the
Northern Pacific.

The primaries held by the democrats on
Saturday last resulted in sending strong
and representative delegations to the con.
vention. At no time in the history Of the
party in Yakima will a convention be
30 thoroughly discovered from anything
that can be construed into a claim of un-
fairness or selfshness. The success of
the party is the cry from all quarters, and
1t is recognized that this can be achieved
only by putting up such material for can
didates as will command the respect and
confidence of the people. The views of
the party have largely crystallized
through carefully canyassing the wishes
OF the voters and taxpayers, and there is
not much likelihood Of there being con.
test over any nomination unless il is for
that OF sheriff. For this nomination Mr..
IL. Ii. Allen leads, although Mr.. NJ. G.
Wills and T. ]. Redmon have many
friends among the delegates. Should
Mr.. Allen not be nominated, a SUPPOSE
ton which does not now seem reasonable,
many OF his supporters will declare for
Mr.. Redmon for second choice. From
present indications the ticket will largely
be along the following lines: Sheriff, II.
II. Allen; auditor, w. J. Roaf treasurer
Mat Bartholet; clerk, Henry Creason
assessor, Geo. Hull; commissioner for
End district, Joseph Stephenson commits
sioner for Srd district, Emory Taylor.

The nomination of Sam Hyde for con-
gress was due largely to his geographical
location. The Ankeuy-McGraw combina-
ton wanted to furnish Spokane with q
political loaf so it could make no demand
in the senatorial contest. The nomins.
ton was body blow at John L. Wilson's
aspirations, which the latter endeavored
to overcome, when the convention de-
clared for free silver, by riding buoyantly
on this plank, although on November
End, 1892, he spoke in this city in justifi
cation OF his vote against free silver and
was then apparently the strongest kind oil
gold bug. Now Wilson and Jones
another senatorial aspirant, are vieing
with each other to see which can be the
most pronounced free silverite.

this case. The trickery Of Horst Bros
and it would be difficult to designate it by
any other name-was not shown until 80
late date that it was impossible for
growers to make other arrangements for
money, and then this firms representa-
tive steps in and recontracts in his own
name at 7@s cents. Horst Bros. are
the largest contractors with brewers in
the United States and they have
contracts with brewers running for FIVE
years at % cents. These contracts, how
ever, are binding, but notwithstanding
their large profits when they get the op.
portunity to cinch and squeeze the grower
they have never been known to miss TAX
ing advantage Of it. As result the
courts in the hop districts of the
Sound are full OF cases against
them, but with their big profits
and large capital they can afford to fight
and keep the cases in court until growers
are compelled to make settlement. Again
we say that Yakima growers should not
forget these methods OF doing business
when another season rolls around.

The State Fair will be opened to the
public on Monday next upon which &C.
casion Governor McGraw and other dis
tinguished citizens of the state will be
present.. The occasion should certainly
be observed as gala one and it is to be
hoped that general response will be
made to the Mayors request that business
houses and residences be decorated with
bunting and patriotic symbols. The
flower OF democracy will also be here
during portion of the week, which is an
additional reason why the city should be
made to appear as attractive as possible.
Bunting, banners and flags will be an out
ward indication OF the qualification the
people of Yakima feel in the permanent
location of the fair here and in choosing
this point for the meeting OF the democra-
tic state convention, and by our courtesy
and attention to our guests we can still
further show our appreciation OF these
honors.

The recent experience of Yakima hop
growers in the matter of contracting
their crops, especially with slippery firms,
IS one that shouldn't be soon forgotten.
Owing to the peculiar financial condi-
lions by which the banks were unable to
furnish many OF their customers with
picking money the growers were left
largely to the mercy Of the dealers, and
one firm, Horst Bros, who had contract
ell largely at l0@12 cents and agreed to
make advances for picking, brazenly
went back on their contracts without any
apparent excuse. These contracts are
drawn with view to holding the grower
and not the dealer, and so it proved in
