To the Editor of the Free Press:
Your communication Of the 2Sth inst

cause that prompt. its frispds to rush into
print, through republican channels, to sus
tain it, and we would not think Of making
a rejoinder except for tbe manifest injustice
done by that article to some of the leading
aspirsnts.
We heartily endorse what is said of "Thc
gentleman of large experience and influence.
than whom there if not y more astute pol
iticinn in the State and we fssl confident
that he and his large following of friends

one who takes an interest in party affairs.

cure votes, and whose party fcaltv is not for

Word From Windsor County.
From the Woodstock standard

1t is gratifying to note that "A marked in
tercst favorable to tho movement for Hon.
Homer W. Vail as candidate for the lieuten-
ant gOvernorShip is extending into Orange.
Rutland, Washington aud other counties.
We hope 10 sec sod Windsor send up a
solid delegation for Woodbury. and Vail.
There is no reason why it should not be
done; there are several reasons why it might
be done with propricty and satisfaction.
We believe that no other man mentioned
has prior claim or better illness for the
lieutenant goyernorship than Homer W.
Nail and fortunately it is everywhere CON
coded that Hon. Urban A. Woodbury. will
be nominated to the govornorship. There
fore, here's TO Woodbury. and Vail Let us
make it unanimous in Windsor county. and
there's good reason TO believe that the ma
jority will be with us in the convention.

From an article in North American Review
for April
With Il manifest misinterpretation Of pub
lie sentiment presented through the Wilson
bill; vita current history verifying to an I'M
fortunate degree all predictions made by the
most ardent prOtcctonist with reference to
the destructive OWLS to follow the abandon
ment Of tho protective policy; with closed
factories and open soup houses; with disor-
gained business and organized charity: with
breade,s homes in the midst of the worlds
greatest gronary; with the increase of the
fOcks OF Australia and OF South America
simultaneously; with the disappearance OF
the fiocks from our own pastures: with New
England idle and old England active; with
assgneoS and receivers prominent business
factors throughout the land: with organized
labor seeking, not higher wages, but any
wages; with decreased exports and incre,s ed
imports; with cheap things and no chance to
earn dollar TO bay them; with idle miners
and flooded mines; with Increasing farm
products thrown into decreasing markets:
with our foreign policy reversed, to tine hui
initiation of the nation; and with confidence
and hope supplantoi by doubt and umcor-
tainty-who can question that the contrast
of worse with better days will result in the
overwhelming triumph, in 1896, Of the
party OF progress, patriotism and pros
perity.

eminent lottery, and, by so doing, has
Jeen sent abroad to travel for ten years,
with handsome allowance, which is
to be paid him every three months by
one of the most substantial banks in
Japan. If he returns to japan for
more than one month in each year he
forfeits the allowance, and it is also
stipulated that at least half of the time
spent abroad must be III the various
countries in Europe. The second prize
was five years travel, and the third
prize one years travel, on the same al

all the time must be spent in Europe.

EXECUTION OF EMILE FaRc1.

II was during the Franco-Chinesa

the New York Press. Farcy was de-
tailed to accompany the army COM
Inanded by Gen Forgenol, a martinez
in the strictest sense of the word The
general insisted upon Farcy signing an
agreement not to forward any dis
patches withou. submitting them To
the military authorities, but the cor
'respondent protested when he affixed
his signature 10 the paper and this
aroused the generals suspicious Next
day Farcy was placed under espionage
and before night dispatches slrrepti-
tiously sent by him were seized They
contained many criticisms OF tho
military and Farcy was at once ar
rested and taken 10 the generals head
quarters.
Against the correspondent's protest
the dispatches were read and no was
.ummarily tried by court-martisl.
Fsrcy declined 10 defend himself and
the entire proceedings did not last
more than half an hour. The sentence
was short

a MUSCULAR SERVANT.
She IL Very Popular Because She cxA
Thrash Peddlers.

MY wife is an invalid and Is I1erv-
Gus, and a peddler or a book-agent or
canvasser could corral her in the parlor
and talk her into buying anything, she
is so timid, and she would be sick q
week afterward with nervous prostra-
ton. Mary, the girl, noticed the in
jury to my wife and she said she would
keep the peddlers out and told her to
go ahead" quotes the London Tele-
graph.
The next day, as 1 went home to
lunch, met man coming down the
walk with portfolio of etchings scat
tered all over the lawn. He had his
hat damned down over his nose and his
necktie and collar were hanging down
his back and as he came up to me he
said: Save me, for Heavens sake" I
helped him pick up his etchings from
the wet grass and / asked him if any
thing had occurred to mar his happi-
ness.
He said he had mistaken that asy-
1un for a private residence and had
crawled in when the door was opened
and one of the female inmates, most
violent case, had taken him by the
throat and with a power almost super
human. had thrown him out and fright
ened him nearly to death. He asked
me if were the doctor of the asylum
and said l ought to put the girl in a
straight-jacket. He went away quiet
" with his collar in his hand and when
! went in the house Mary and my wife
were laughing very hard, and my wife
was better than l had known her for q
year.
The other day man rang the bell
and Mary went to the door. he was
selling matches and pencils, and was
deaf and dumb. He made signs TO
open the screen door, which was
locked, but Mary told him it was not
necessary to open the door, as she
didn't want anything in his line. This
made him mad and he kicked the
screen door and that made Mary mad,
and she opened il and gave him blow
from the shoulder right on the nose
and he fell backward over the railing
into pansy bed, striking on his head.
He turned over and on his knees, and
the poor deaf and dumb peddler looked
up to Mary and said in the purest
French: ''Howly iabers, woman. yez
must be John L. Sullivan's sisther."
and he got up and took his basket over
the fence. No. sir, l wouldn't let Mary
go for twice what pay for her"
Il wish you would give me the ad-
dress Of Mary's sister," said the other
man. taking out pencil and paper.
IF ! could get such 4 girl as that
would continue to keep house"
The demand for good muscular girls
is increasing and they can get their
own prices
