Orange County Senators.

Editor Wdtchman:-Your correspondent
understands that j. X. Darling, ESQ, of
Chelsea and G. G. Sargent of Corinth are
favorably mentioned as candidates for sem
ator from Orange county on the republican
ticket on the east side OF the county. Both
of these gentlemen are versed in lawmak-
ing, and are otherwise well qualified Tor the
senatorship. Either Of these men, il elected,
member OF the senatorial body. Each has
represented his town in the legislature;
each has held many important offices OF
trust; each has been an arbitrator in i'm
portant cases; each is favorably known as
a stalwart republican. and each enjoys the
confidence of all. Should either receive the
nomination, no mistake would be made by
the convention. CONN. RIVER,

cratic senators who have sold their
democratic brthright for mess OF
protection. 1t is silly for these squirm-
ing free traders to protest that they are
justified in voting Tor this cento of jobs
as long as 1t contains few less jobs,
lower rate of duty here and there, than
the eliminating atrocity of class legis-
lation contained. The bill before the
senate is a protection bill tilchNd by
titular democrats from the republicans,
a republican protection bill, glaring
specimen of republican protection -
not that there is or can be any protec-
ton that is not republican, unless the
democratic party shall in another ma
tional convention solemnly withdraw
the democratic tariff dogma of 1892.
Protection is still to be held by every
democrat as fraud, a robbery Of the
great majority of the American people
for the benefit of the few. Now robbery
is not to be compromised and dickered
with, it must be stopped absolutely.
Society does not say to robbers, " Here,
some of you fellows must be content
to rob five per cent less than you did
last year. Some of the rest of you can
pIdCtlC6 yOuI pIOlObSlOh Will IuC usual
charges; and some will be allowed to
rob even little more than they have
been doing" Society takes all the rob-
bers it can get hold of and runs them
in. But when free traders see a pro-
tected robber, they say; Good Mr.,
Robber, we are really and truly op-
posed to robbery, but if we can reduce
your robberies by five per cent we are
going to do it and let you go ahead
robbing." We wonder if these jelly
hearted weaklings interpret "Thou
shalt not steal " as Thou shalt not
steal more than fifty per cent of thy
neighbours property" The truth is
that the southern and western free trad
ers have had their bride as well as the
members of the amendment brigade
have had theirs. The income tax is
the bride to the South and West, and
democratic free traders give up their
objections to one form of robbery in
consideration of the introduction of
another. Robbers all!--Ne,O York Sun.

Missouri Democrats.

During the past few months the
democratic and mugwump newspapers
have been eXhausting their vocabulary
of adjectives in praise of the sound finan-
cial principles of President Cleveland,
and of his wonderful power and success
in converting all good democrats to his
way of thinking. The first state in the
Union Ito definitely draw this issue
was Missouri, one of the democratic
strongholds. In state convention as
sembled last week, the democrats of
that state voted-423 to 109--for plat
form declaring in favor of free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Friends
of Cleveland and his administration
fastened to offer substitutes, but the
democratic state convention of Mis-
souri, was not looking for anything in
that line, and voted them down more
than four to one. Another plank in
the platform of that Missouri conven-
ton radically endorses free trade. The
mercury of the Administrations hope
that Missouri would bow down and
serve it dropped out of sight when the
news of the proceedings of the state
convention were flashed over the wire S
to Washington, and Mr.. Cleveland
power of converting his followers to
his sound financial ideas is men.

In an address delivered at Bangor, Wales,
David Lloyd George, the Welsh nationalist
member of parliament, said that the time
had come when the Welsh members of par
lament would be unable to give their un-
swerving support to the government. The
Welsh disestablshment bill was a miser-
able measure. The ministry had promised
to ihasten its passage; nevertheless it had
been reegated to the tenth place on the
programme. The Welsh must no longer
march tamely at the governments COM
mand. They must observe strict independ-
ence, instead of an Improbable and dis
creditable servility. The Episcopal arch
bishops and bishops OF England have issued
a circular letter protesting against the pro-
posed disestablishment of the Church of
Wales, which, they declare, would endanger
the unity of the Church OF England. The
bishops particularly denounce the olsen
dowment proposals which, they say, appro-
pirate to secular purposes ancient gifts in
tended for the service OF God.

In an editorial commenting ON the rela-
tons of Canada to the United States, the
London Times says; at is certain that the
influence of Canada on the international re-
lations of Great Britain and the United
States have tended more than anything else
to a peaceful settlement by arbitration of
questions which under less favorable condi-
tons might have proved intractable TO di-
plomacy alt is not, perhaps, altogether fan
achieved in this direction. Possibly they
will be the germ of future developments al
most too vast and far-reaching for the polt-
ical Imagination of living men to conceive,
What may be the future Of Canada's rela-
tons to the United States, on the one hand,
and to Great Britain on the other, no man
can yet say; but none can doubt that the
problem here propounded is big with the
fate OF untold generations.

A FIRE that was at first thought easy to
control started last week on the Boston
base ball grounds at Roxbury, which de-
veloped into the biggest fire that city has
known since Thanksgiving day, 1889, and
covering greater area than any since the
memorable one of 1872. While the financial
loss is not circumstance to that of either
of the above mentioned fires, yet in less
than three hours some twelve acres OF ter
ritory were burned over The baseball
grand stand and bleachers, large school
house, an engine house, 164 wooden build
ings and thirteen brick buildings were
burned, and some 900 families rendered
homeless. The loss Is conservatively esti-
mated at from $500, 900 to $4,000. Fortu-
nately, no lives were lost, although there
were many thrilling escapes.

Hon. JOHN E. RUSSELL returned from
Washington to his home in Leicester, Mass,
last week, apparently thoroughly Disguised
with the action on the democratic majority
and the political situation generally. He
declined to be interviewed, but asserted
freely to his friends that the democratic
senators and members of congress are acting
like fools and will agree upon nothing. He
said "There will be no tariff bill passed by
this congress. 1t is impossible. The party
is doomed to overwhelming and ignominious
defeat this fall and in 1896, but in eight
years the country will return to free trade. u

THE way the politicians have
tumbled Chairman Wilson off his perch
and torn his tariff bill to shreds, while
he was recuperating in Mexico, is a
caution, and does not show the highest
respect for the judgment of the father
of the Wilson tariff bill, even by his
democratic colleagues. He returns to
Washington to find that "things have
changed since Hannah died"

THE fact that the nomination of
Vermont democrat, Judge Haselton of
Burlington, as minister to Venezuela
was followed by a destructive earth
quake in that unhappy land is the SUBJ
ject of remark; and each of the other
nations of the world is felicitating upon
the fact that it was not selected by
the head of the American democracy as

THE Ludlow Tribune and Brandon

the final contest seems to lie between
Mr.. Vail and Colonel Mansur. If re-
ports are true, the latter's fences are in
a condition that indicate thrift and
strength, but history shows that there
is nothing certain about the nom
ination of candidate for lieutenant
governor till the ballots are counted.

shortage of coal, unless prompt
remedy is applied. Already, mills and
factories throughout the country are
shutting down; and the Grand Trunk
railroad, after selling the soft coal that
is sent over its lines to move its
trains, is obliged to shut down all
shops, throwing $500 men out of
employment in Montreal alone. The
condition is serious, and some of the
large trunk lines of the country are
preparing to burn oil in their locomo-
tives should the present scarcity of soft
coal long continue.

FROM all that can be gathered from
the reports of the trial of DR.. Henry
Meyer for the murder of Ludwig Brandt
in New York, it would seem that the
failure of the jury to convict him of
murder in the first degree was trav-
esty on justice. Most conclusive evil
dence was introduced that DIR. Meyer
deliberately poisoned Brandt that he
might collect the insurance money on
his life. Counsel for the respondent,
with cunning arts and eloquent words,
seem to have influenced the jury in his
favor by pleading that he was perse-
cuted by the life insurance companies,
and the verdict was murder in the
second degree, the penalty for which, in
the state of New York, is imprison-
ment for life. 1t is hard to see where
the life insurance companies can be
censured for the vigorous action taken
by them in this case. If, by commit
ting the crime of murder, the murderer
can reap the reward of the payment to
him of the fat life insurance policy of
his victim, the value of all life insur-
ance policies would be heavily dis
counted.

agreement at their recent conference,

Although Nobody Loves Him, Lord Har-
court Has Been Successful In Politics.
If Henry L%abouchere, the famous editor
and M. p, makes the point he is fighting
for, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lib
eral leader in the British house Of COM
mons, may soon be putting himself in the
way Of being abolished, for Sir William is
meditating retirement from the
SO that he may be elevated to the house of
lords, the august body of inherited English
rulers Labouchere is ~endeavoring to wipe
out.
Sir William is 81 years of age and was
the second son of Rev. William v. Har-
court of Nuneham, Oxfordshire. He was
educated at Trinity college, Cambridge,
became a lawyer and won considerable
reputation as q writer on international
legal questions under the nom de plume
of "Historicus." He was made a queens
counsel in 1856, was elected to parliament
for Oxford two years later Inc the follow
ing year was appointed professor of inter-
national law at Cambridge. He was an
ardent Liberal and was Gladstone's solic-
itor general in 1878. The same year he
was knighted. Three years later he was
made home, secretary, and Lord Rosebery,
the present English premier, was his I'M
der secretary.
Up to 1885 Harcourt opposed home rule
bitterly, but that year he became a con-
vert to Gladstone's new policy and was ap-
pointed chancellor Of the exchequer. For
many years Sir William has been consid-

result was a roar of laughter, in which tho
nominee and committee joined and which
seemed to please the speaker as much as
any one else. He rebegan his speech and
made a very brilliant address. This pecul-
iarity seems to be constitutional and is
the basis of any number of funny stories
told about him in California and Oregon.
Mr.. Estee is q native of Pennsylvania
and moved to California a good many
years ago. He has been very successful as
a lawyer and farmer and owns a fine vine
yard in Napa county. In tho law he
makes a speciality Of railroad and corpora
ton practice and is the author of a legal
work known as "Estee's P~leadings,''
which has added materially to his profess
sional reputation.
Captain Urban Andrian Woodbury., who
was nominated for governor by the Re
publicans Of Vermont on the same day
Mr.. Estee wa chosen in California, was
born in Acworth, N. H., Sc years ago. His
parents removed to Vermont when he was
2 years old, and Urban was educated at
the Peoples academy of Morrisville and
was graduated at the medical department.
Of the University of Vermont in 1859.
Woodbury. served through the war as
captain OF Company -, Eleventh Vermont
volunteers, and lost his right arm at Bull
Run. After the war he settled in Bur-
lington and engaged in the lumber bust
ness, in which he is still interested. He
has been an alderman md mayor of Bur
lington, and in 1888 was elected lieuten-
ant governor of the state. Captain Wood
bury is a prominent Mason and also
belongs to the Odd Fellows, G. A. R., the
Loyal legion, the Sons of the American
Revolution and the Knights Of Pythias.

frage that was without doubt one of the
most remarkable speeches ever made by a
woman
This great speech was delivered before
the constitutional convention of the state
of New York and attracted widespread at
tention. 1t was an erudite, logical and
dignified argument. There was nothing
hysterical about it, and one of it's princi-
pal charms was the fact that it was not
abusive-a decided fault of many pleas for
woman suffrage.
Mary Putnam jacob was born in Lon
don Aug. 81, 1912, and is q daughter OF
George P. Putnam, the American publish
er. Early in life she came to the United
States, studied in the Woman's Medical
college in Philadelphia and later was tho
first woman graduate of the New York
College of Pharmacy. But her ambition
was by no means satisfied. She went to
Paris in 1868, applied to the dean of the
Medical College of France for permission
to take the examination and was refused
Oh the ground that such q thing was IN
~precedented in the history of the institu-
ton.
To Mary Putnam, however, the fact
that a thing had never been done was no
argument why it should not be done, and
with the aid of United States Minister
Washburne she was admitted to the col
lege, from which she was graduated with
high honors in 1871, receiving for her
valedictory thesis a silver medal. During
the siege of Paris she became acquainted
with the horrors of wal and correspondent
for tho New York Medical Journal.
In 1878 she married DR.. Abraham jacob,
a German political refugee, who had locat-
ed in New York and won high rank in tho
medical fraternity. Three children were
the fruit of their union. DR.. A. jacob
headed the American delegation to the re-
cent international medical congress in
Rome. His talented wife is the author of
several valuable medical works, has a
large practice of her own in New York and
is one of the foremost champions Of equal
rights for women a1nong her sex.

CHRISTIAN CULTURE.
THE WORK OF THE YOUNG WoMEN's
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

1t Provides Employment as Well as Social.
Educational and Religious Opportunities
For Girls-Athletics and Summer Schools.
A Growing and Prosperous Organization.
The first Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION came into being in 1879, but it
was not until 1886 that the International
Young Women's Christian association was
formed. During the eight years that have
elapsed since that time the international
association has grown steadily and solidly,
and now there are over 800 associations
in SO states, in 10 of which there are thor.
onghly organized state associations. Some
of these state associations support travelling
secretaries.
The work Of the Young Women's Chris
tian association is modelled closely on that
of the Young Mems Christian association
and has been quite as helpful to young
women at times when help has been most
needed rs the latter organization has been
to young men. The departments of organi-
cation are the city and college associations.
There is hardly a town of any size in the
United States without ono of these organi-
cations, all Of which in each state are con-
trolled by tho state association. These in
turn are members of the international as
ISOLATION, and it works in harmony with
similar associations in five other coun-
tries.
One of the most important duties of
each local association, perhaps the most
important one, is to provide friendless
young women who may apply at the local
headquarters with a temporary home I'M

Ing features of the campaign is the joint
debates the rival candidates are holding In
towns and cities all over the state. Sena-
tor Butler was born near Greenville, S. c.,
So years ago. He received a college edu-
cation, studied law and was. admitted to
the bar in 1857, when he was but 21 years
OF age. In 1860 he was elected to the
state legislature and the following year en-
tered the Confederate service as captain of
cavalry in the Hampton legion.
He lost his right leg at the battle of
Brandy Station in June, 1863, and during
the war rose to the rank of major general.
He was sent to the United States senate in
1877 and has been there ever since. Mr..
Butler has long been considered one of the
handsomest men in the senate His hair
and mustache are gray, and he has adecid-
eddy ByrQnic forehead. He comes of a we'll
known North Carolina family. His grand
father, General William Butler, served
with distinction in the Revolution and the
war Of 1912. His uncle, Andrew P. But
Ter, was in the United States senate from
1916 to 1857, and Pierce Butler, another
uncle, was killed at ~Churubusco. His IA
Their, William Butler, was once a member
Of congress.
The romance of the Butler family oc-
CURED during the Revolution, when Miss
Behethland Moore, q courageous girl Of
Is, accompanied by her little brother and
q girl friend, set out at midnight In a
n and travelled miles to the camp Of a
small body of Continental troops to warn
them that a party Of marauding Tories
meditated surprising them. The little
band Of Continentals was differed by Will
liam Butler, grandfather of the present
senator, who called next day to see the
brave young girl who had risked her life
to save him and his companions. The
young couple met, loved and despite the
opposition Of Moore pere were married.
In 1890 Senator Butler attracted consid-
cradle attention by Introducing bill for
the emigration of the colored people from
the south. The bill urged the dispersion
Of the negroes throughout the United
States and the deportation to Africa of
those who desired to go to that country.
