Gen. Grants book, from the sales Of
which his family have already received
fortune of $500, 900, is soon to be issued
in cheaper form, and it is thought that
within ten years, the profits to the family
will reach round million. In com
mercial sense the book is already the
most successful ever published. 1t has
made the fortunes of the publishers also.
One of our contemporaries publishes
letter of Benjamin FTanklin's, written
four years before Bunker Hill, in which
he fOrcibly declares for encouraging
American industry. That is not sur
prising. All the early patriots and
statesmen were, as matter of course,
PrOtectionists. 1t was not until the null
LITIGATION movement that free trade ap-
peared. John G. Calhoun is the patron
saint of our modern tariff reformers."
The voters of this country are show

1t is no wonder that John Bull il
mad, that his subjects at Rio Janeiro ap-
piled to the American Admiral for pre-

their own naval commander had refused
their request, it isn't easy to see what
John Bull is going to do about it. unless

Washington dispatches of the 2Sth.
ult., say: The Wilson bill me; its
Waterloo to-day. The ex-confederates,
who are its sponsors in the Senate, were
routed horse, foot and dragons in the
Democratic caucus, the chairman of the
Finance Committee was so hard pressed
thath himself asked for the recommittal
of the Free Trade measure. The honors
of the great victory over the Free Trade
phalanX belong to Senators Brice of Ohio,
White of Louisiana aud Hill of New
York. They are the triumphant trium-
virate of protection in the Democratic
party. The attempt to cripple the great
industries of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut has not succeeded, and the
Southern champions of Free Trade are
sadder and wiser men tonight" We
hope this is true.

EMINENT MEN THESE.

OF THE COUNTRY WHITING FOR THE
BOSTON JOURNAL.
When such notable men as the Rev.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, Cardinal Glib
bons, Maj. Gen. Howard, Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge, George Kennan, Chauncey
NJ. Depew and Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
contribute to newspaper, it shows that
the publishers regard the best as none
too good for the readers of that paper.
All these men, with other noted authors,
are now writing articles of value and in
terest for the Boston Sunday Journal.
The Journal, by the way, has made great
bounds of late on account of its live
news and entertaining special articles.

The Russian thistle is a pest which
Dakota farmers are struggling with.
The seed of it was first imported to this
country in some shipments of flaxseed
from Russia in 1878. 1t is far worse
than the Canadian thistle 1t has no
leaves and cannot be burned, and when
the grain in which it grows is taken off
it forms an immense mass of weeds,
thickly interspersed with briers, and
three counties in North Dakota, near
the South Dakota line are said to have
been abandoned on account OF it. A bill
just introduced in Congress appropli
atrs $1,000, 900 for the extermnation Of
this pest.

This is one of the years when the Re-
publican flag is in the ascendency. Bur
lington, Rutland and other large places
in Vermont, like New York and Penn
sylvania, are fighting out the town cleo
tions on the issue of protection versus
free trade. The former will win. 1t is
significant that straight Republican
tickets are put in the field, while the
Democracy are running mixed tickets,
hoping thereby to save something out of
the popular storm excited by the Wilson
bill.

The voters of the Queen City are now
passing through one of the hottest cam
paigns in the history of Burlington, and
it will be still warmer on the political
thermometer before city election, which
will take place on March 6. Both par
ties are doing everything possible to as
sure the success of their candidates at
the polls, but the drift of sentiment on
the Mayor question is Enthusiastically in
the direction of w. j. Van Patten, the
Republican candidate.
The charter of the first Masonic lodge
ever organized in the State, is in posses
sion of Lodge Eighteen of Windsor. 1t
was issued in 1871 to Vermont Lodge
Seventeen, by the Massachusetts Grand
Lodge, Joseph Webb grand master, and
among the signatures appended is that
OF Paul Revere, who was one of the
wardens. The charter was lost for a
time but was discovered at Burlington,
after having lain for years among the
rubbish.

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr.. John L. Sullivan, in the new play,
written especially for him, entitled "The
Man From Boston," makes his appear
ance Thursday, March Sth, at the BeR-
nington Opera House. Great interest is
excited by this production, as contrary
to many pessimistic critics, who fore
boded failure, Mr.. Sullivan in adopt
ing the stage as profession has made
distinct success. The pugllistic arena
held its idol for many years, and now
that circumstances caused a slip-up so
to speak in the round of victories of the
gladiator, the theatre-going public haYe
taken up the role of worshippers and
John L. is more popular man to-day
than ever. His impersOnation of cap
tain HarcOurt In "The Man From Bos-
ton," is said to be marked by quiet
force and a manly dignity few aS-
tors could bring to the part. Mr.. Sui
livans rich voice adds not little to the
effect of the performance. Lawyer
Price, the well known playwright of
New York, has adapted for Mr.. Sullivan
an eXcelle mt play that shuns all cheap
clap-trap devices or ordinary melo-
dramas, and depends entirely for its
succe IS on acting alone, thereby show
ing the positive advance that John l..
Sullivan has made in his profession.
Immense business has been reported
everywhere that the MAN From Bos-
tom has made his bow; no doubt his
success will be repeated at Bennington,
Thursday.

This is the way it works in Maine, ac
cording to the Bangor Whig: Last
year on the Aroostook river and its trib-
utarics. the log cut amounted to some
100000, but this year it will not be
much over 100000. This changed con-
dition not only means a severe loss in
wages to the men who have always
worked in the woods, but strikes hard
blow at the farmers who have heretofore
found good market for their produce
in supplying these operations. All this
is due to the Democratic tariff smash
ing programme, and it is safe to say.
that the people of Aroostook, Democrats
as well as Republicans. do not entertain
a high opinion of the Wilson BILL"

The Senate Committees decision OH
the Hawaiian case is substantially unai-
nous, although there is minority, ma
jority and supplemental report, The
majority, which includes all but three of
the members, exhonerates Minister
Stevens in everything except the pro-
tectorate; and the committee are unani
nous in the declaration that the Hawai-
ian Islands should become an Ameri-
can State. In short, the Springfield
Union sums up the case: 1.-THE report is
a calm, judicial document, containing
just whitewash enough to make the
administration comfortable, though dis
agreeing with the administration in
some of the most important points of
the controversy

sheep during last year, and the
average value of sheep at the close Of

$2.66 the year before. These figures
show how hard the wool growers have
been hit by the free wool menace.

1T seems to be definitely ascerta:ned
that for several weeks past and prior TO
the Thurston's visit tho provisional
government has been working a form OF
cons ituticn for the independent Hs.
waiian republic, which is low substan-
TALLY settled upon.
IT'S form is like those OF the States of
the Union, with president and vice
president and upper and lower houses
OF the legislature.
Under this constitution the native
element will possess all the share in
legislation which it has ever done, while
the royal and executive power will prac
tically be transferred to the control of
the more Intelligent and capable white
population.
The government will not proclaim
this constitution until after learning
from Minister Thurston that there is
no present prospect OF any form Of
political union with the United States.
The coming 18th of January is the
hrst anniversary Of the abolition of the
hawaiian monarchy, and the provis
lonal government has ordered shat the
day be observed as a holiday
