A CENTENNIAL MEDAL.

In accordance with resolution adopt
ed by the Grand Lodge of Vermont F. 81
A. NJ, at its last session, Grand Master
John H. Whipple, of Manchester, has had
a medal struck in commemoration of the
Centennial of the Grand Lodge. The
medal is a beautiful piece of bronze
work, and is furnished in neat case. 1t
is an elegant souvenir of the centennial,
the celebration of which, in June last,
was red-letter day in the history of the
craft. Hon. A. L. Pease of Hartford has
offered $40 for the first medal struck.
Other offers have also been made for the
same. 1t has, therefore, been decided to
sell the first ten struck to the highest
bidders on or before November 1st. The
others will be sold for one dollar each, a
sum barely covering the actual cost of
the medal. But a limited number has
been struck, and parties desiring them
should order at once. The medals are
for sale by the grand secretary, w. G.
Reynolds, Burlington, of whom they can
be procured directly, or they may be Or
dered through Lodge Secretaries.

The New York opinion of "Senator
Murphy's class in politics." is voiced in
these words: "a man from Troy was
in the Astor House the other day and
cast some light upon the situation up
there which would be ludicrOus, if it
were not SO horribly suggestive of the
political conditions which tax the cred
ulity to believe and the imagination to
conceive. The registration during this
year has increased, and particularly in
the Republican wards. Anywhere else
this would signify probable Republican
gains on Election day, but such a conclu-
sion never occurs to Troy Republican
of experience. 1t would not surprise
him to learn that the registration was
twice as large as it has been. The Dem
ocrats register votes from all sorts of
places, including the Jail and poorhouse
ard twenty-siX voters were registered
last year from one saloon. Most of the
slum vote in the Democratic districts in
Troy goes blind on Election day, which
allows man to go with repeaters to the
booths to cast vote. They vote on any
name which happens to turn up, being
told what their names are by the Demo-
cratic inspectors. Sometimes it happens
that the true owner of the name stands
behind the repeater and protests. He is
thrown out by the police without cere-
mony, and is lucky to get off without
broken head. OF course, any election
inspector cap order policeman to ar
rest such man, but he is promptly dis
charged by the captain or sergeant at
the precinct police station. However,
the Republicans have hopes this year,
and if they win, Troy may once more of
fer market for real estate"

The New York Press man recently
met Hon. John S. Wise of Virginia in
Fifth Avenue hotel, in that city, and the
tall Virginian delivered himself in this
wise of Growers Cabinet. 1t ought to
pass as good Democratic authority
"Cleveland took his Secretary of State
out of the Republican party a Mug
wump] and has not yet been able to
make him say, Il am a Democrat He
found an old Confederate weeping above
the grave of Jefferson Davis and made
him Secretary of the Navy. Over his old
typewriter he waved his magic wand and
transformed him into Secretary of War,
while he went into the interior of his
own consciousness to evolve Secretary
who suggested neither the ice cream of
the frozen North or the mint julep of the
Sunny SOuth-the sort of creation they
pickle in alcOhol-a strange, nameless,
unclassified Hoky-poky. Elected as the
opponent of the trusts, he selected a
trust lawyer as Attorney General, and
made Secretary of the Treasury Demo-
cratic statesman who never owned an
unmOrtgaged dollar in his life." The
Press deprecates this ironical deliverance
in these words: "Now. this was clever
in its way, but don't like personalities
myself, of such a savage and sarcastic
sort"

LEGISLATIVE sIDE-LIcHTs.

Why the Confiscation Bill was In
troduced and Barrels way to
Dodge it.
The Wilmington Times says: "Mr.
Weston of Newfane follows up the reco-
mendatiOn of Superintendent of Educa--
ton Stone with bill to provide free text
books; also, with his eyes toward Brat
tleboro, he wants to abolish all incor-
pOrated school districts. Among the
first bills passed is that of the member
from Searsburgh to legalize the grand
list of the town."
The Vermont Journal has this to say;
I'm some unaccOuntable way the gentle
man from Peru was accredited last week
with the paternity of the bill providing
for the repeal of the Australian ballot
law. Mr.. Farnum, the courteous men,
Der from that town objects to the ques--
tiOnable distinction, and it is pleasure
to correct the mistake. Mr.. Pier, the
gentleman from Jamaca is the artless re-
former, who believes in backward pro-
gressiveness and rejoices in due recog-
milton of his legislative efforts to throw
the State back into the good oldfash-
Toned way'of hauling and dragging voters
up the polls. Possibly some votes are lost
under the present system, but it is safe
to say that twice as many were lost under
the old system, because voters would not
run gauntlets to reach the ballot boxes.
No one need lose his vote under the pres
ent law. Many were driven into losing
their votes under the old law.
Barrels way out is told by correspon-
dent from that towl as follows: "The
citizens who reside in the portion of
Barre Village which includes the Spauld-
ing graded school district are somewhat
alarmed over the prospects of having the
charter of the district abolished and CIV
ing all buildings in the district to the
town. The reason for fearing this move
ment is the introduction in the Vermont
legislature OF bill providing for abolish
ing all incorporated districts in the State
This measure will probably pass the
House of Representatives, as a majority
of the committee on education are said
to favor it. The only hope of defeating
the bill is in the Senate. If it should be-
come law the two handsome school
buildings owned by the Spaulding dis
trict, and which cost S50,000, must be
turned over to the town of Barre. The
taxpayers here view this as unjust after
they have paid the heavy school tax. The
only way to prevent this is by securing a
city charter for Barre Village, which in
cludes the Spauldiug district. This will
give the new city full control of her
schools without the interference of the
town directors"

"A wonderful fact has been brought

MIR. Cleveland is said to be too busy
with his Thanksgiving proclamation to
write that letter for Hill Perhaps he
will combine the two and then the prob
lem to solve will be whether he had the
latter's probable defeat in mind when he
mentioned his nomination as a cause of
rejoicing
Herr Schulz, a learned German
scholar, who died recently has left a
treatise on cosmetics in which he says
among other things that the Fijians used
to paint their bodies red on the day their
taxes were due and celebrated the occas-
ion as day of general rejoicing. If he
stated that they wound up by banquet
ing on the tax collector their hilarity
would be ineligible to theirlmore civil
lied contemporaries.
Senator Hill should find time to
tell the people of New York what he has
done for any New York industry-either
by voice or vote-in the Senate, His ST.
lence on this all-important question is
more impressive than any of his speeches.
One of our Democratic neighbors as
serts that dollar under the German bill
will buy of the necessaries of life about
as much as S1.10 or lbs under the Nc
Kinley tariff. But what is puzzling
thousands of American working people
is, where to get the dollar.
Candidate Hills stump speech dec
laration that ''the Democracy is on trial
this year, is altogether erroneous. The
trial has been held and the defendant
convicted. 1t is the execution that the
people are preparing for.

A Large Waist

Is not generally considered adjunct to
the grace, beauty or symmetry of the
womanly form. Within the body, how
ever, is great waste made necessary ac-
cording to the conition of things-con-
tinually in process and requiring the per-
feet action of all bodily functions to alb
sorb or dispel the refuse. When there
is irregularity or inaction, ladies who
value a clean, pure, healthy body will
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
the only remedy for woman sold with
positive guarantee to right all her pc
culiar 'orOngs.
To those about to become mothers, it
is a priceless boon, for it lessons the
pains and perils of childbirth, shortens
labor, promotes an abundant secretion of
nourishment for the child and shortens
the period of confinement.

OF the present campaign arguments:

AMONG The ODD FELLOWS.

The amendment to the Rebekah code,
in making all single white women over
IS years of age eligible to membership in
Rebekah Lodge, will never become
popular. 1t makes the membership too
promiscuous.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge has ap-
pointed committee to revise the ritual
of the Patriarchs Militant branch of the
order.
The grand master of Ontario, has de-
cided that lodges cannot pay benefits to
a brother upon the decease of his wife.
A man as presiding officer of a Re-
bekah Lodge is like an old drake trying
to raise chickens-out of his element.

PENSIONS Y

Senator Sherman made n strong
point in favor OF the colder in a
speech made June / in the senate.
He showed that only on three
occasions in our history had the
government levied an internal reve-
new tax. That tax was always
obnoxious. The first attempt pro-
duced what is known AS the whisky
rebellion. 1t was tried again alter
the wal Of 1912, and now for the last
time during the rebellion Of 1915.
It is now continued alone on
whisky, beer and tobacco, and this
tax ia found sufficient to pay the
pensions. He added: "The very
moment when tho pensions shall
cease to exist, which can only he
when the whole generation in which
We live passes away, then this tax
will be repealed"
If what the senator says ID actu-
ally the facts, then we may say that
the pensions paid the soldiers prac-
tically Gusts the people nothing,
since no man objects ~ seeing these
articles taxed as they now are. OF
course one may say the FINAL cost Of
the lax upon whiskey, beer and
tobacco comes out Of the people,
but certainly neither whiskey nor
beer is a necessity, and when bought
becomes a voluntary tax. So that
by this showing the pensions paid
the ex-soldiers docs MOI: cost the
people as the democrats teach they
