THE WHEELS INTERLoCKED.

In scoring for the first heat Of the
second race Blew swerved us Duke was
passing and the action resulted in the
interlocking cf the wheels, both of
which collapsed. Mr., Dale turned too
quickly at the post in the same heat
and his sulky came to grief. The ac-
cident to Blew's outfit excited the
horse and he was scratched in the last
two heats Both heats were confined
to Magnolia and Net as far rs contest
was concerned Net made the first
quarter of the frat heat in 37l while
closely pressed by Mr. Jermyn'a mare
which might have won the heat had
she not gone into tho air in the last
furlong
Net also made the pace at q 3S clip
ia the second heat but Magnolia took
tho position, followed by Pee Dee, on
tbs last turn. Here Net went into Sec
ood position and had a battle royal
With Magnolia in the stretch. but the
bikek mare could not DO thrown from
her stride and WOE by an open length.
The two mares again had 1t out In ii Q
third heat, with Duke an important
factor, but In the stretch Net broke
and Magnolia won hard pressed.
The double team race was devoid of
any particular excitement from the
fact that either one or two teams were
in the air most Of the time, and at no
particular period was there lasting
challenge. In tho last heat Mollie and
Thief were driven the mile out in

An Important Matter.

Whom shall the republicans of Wash
ington county nominate for states at
torney, and whom for sheriff? Many
voters have been asking themselves
these questions, and some have I'M
doubtedly been comforting with each
other in this matter of grave import
ance. The present incumbents of these
offices have held them the customary
length of time. All the presidents de-
mand change, unless we except the
Office of sheriff, and in this case prece-
dent is overruled, we are credibly in
formed, by the determination of the
person holding that Office not again to
be candidate. The deputy who has
best performed the duties of his office,
who has had qualifying experience,
whose record of service gives strong est
assurance of efficiency and faithfulness
in the higher Office, should inquest ton
ably receive promotion at the hands of
the nominating convention and at the
polls. Who that deputy is we are not
yet prepared to say, but his discovery
should be sought and selection made
along the lines laid down above. Per-
sonal aspirations should be placed in
subsection to the public good. In this
spirit we have no doubt the convention
will approach this matter.
For states attorney there ia no lack
of material. While in the choice of a
sheriff regard should be had to capacity
to perform with technical accuracy those
duties that relate to the serving of legal
processes, it is true that the people of
Washington county are looking at the
selection of men for both the office of
sheriff and states attorney with special
reference to their fidelity in enforcing
the prohibitory liquor law. Ability,
character, professional skill and expert
ence, should be demanded in the candi-
dates, but back of these necessary quail
ifications there should be also zeal and
fidelity in the enforcement of law. The
good work begun in this county in the
suppression of the unlawful sale of
spirituous liquors is not completed.
Much has been done, and we'll and
faithfully done; but very much remains
to be done. The vigilance that is eter-
nal must be practiced, and the voters
of Washington county who wish the
effective work of the past four years
continued without abatement must
choose their new officers with careful
discrimination. The WATCHMAN is
the partisan of no individual aspirant
either for states attorney or for sheriff
but it believes the subject of the selec
ton of these officers is of so much i'm
portance that it should engage the care
full attention of the voters; that i
should be considered with direct refer
ence to the important work to be con
tinued, and the men chosen to continue
the work should be selected with ma
ture deliberation. The cause is to b,
served first, then the men. The WATCH
man commends this matter to tn
earnest attention of the voters of Wash
| inpton county,

SENATOR PRoCToR's speech, printed
elsewhere in this issue, is not 80 long
as the oratorical efforts of many sena-
tors, but it has good horse-sense enough
in every line to fertilize many columns
of the regulation tariff oratory. The
speech is a clear and compact statement
of the business principles that should
be regarded in tariff legislation and the
effect upon the country of the enact
ment of tariff measure like that before
the senate. Much of what Senator
Proctor has to say has direct reference
to the interests of the states along the
north border line, and he speaks with
all the force and directness of the man
of practical affairs. Conclusive evil
dence of the effectiveness of Senator
Proctor's arguments is found in the
fact that the Springfield Republican
does not like the speech at all. The
Republican has always great deal of
fault to find with Senator Sherman.
The senator, in the Republicans supe-
rior judgment, is never right. He is
always utterly and perversely wrong,
both in his economic and his financial
views. And now Senator Proctor falls
under the ban of the Springfield censor.
That incarnation of wise states manship
is unable to see, if the freer trade Sem
ator Proctor favors with the republics
of South and Central America is for
the advantage of the United States,
why freer trade with Canada is not like
wise for the interest of the American
people. Senator Proctor makes that
point clear, and any farmers boy along
the northern frontier can make it very
plain to the obfuscated mugwump free
trader. Senator Proctor's speech gives
Vermont people great satisfaction.

Farmers Want Something.

Editor Watchndn:-It has always been
with pride and complacency that we have
sat and heard political orators call us the
bone and sinew of the country and tell us
that we were always to be relied on for 10y
atty and good citizenship, etc. I guess that
is all true, so far as taxes and other
burden bearing goes, but just now zoe ,cqnt
something. We want Homer w. Vail for
our next acknowledgement We want
him for the same reason that the little girl
that was lost in Central Park wanted her
mamma. She said she wanted mamma " be-
cause she knew her." We want Mr.. Vail
because zee knoto him and he knows as, and
we hope to have our wishes granted, too, in
this respect, and we shall continue to be
law-loving and law-abiding citizens as
usual, pay our taxes, vote right, and march
at the tail end of torchlight procession.

Memorial Day Obseryances.

Memorial Day was observed during
the first twenty years or more after the
inception of the beautiful custom with
a solemnity and appropriateness, with
fervor and sentiment, that harmo-
nized with the patriotic purpose of
those who conceived this way of per-
petuating the memory of the men who
fell in the battles of the civil war.

Senator Proctor on Tariff Reform.

On Tuesday of last week, in the
United States senate, Senator Proctor
discussed certain features of the pro-
posed democratic tariff legislation, con-
sidering its effect upon this country's
trade and relations with South America
and with Canada. The senator said:
To the south of us are Spanish American
republics which in common with the United
States, though under different conditions,
are endeavoring to maintain the principles
OF self.government. They are our mutual
friends and allies. Their products are diff

A CASE of murder and suicide, involving
the death of six persons, is reported from
Berlin. Karl Seiger, formerly man of
wealth and position in that city, met with
financial reverses which caused the loss Of
almost his entire fortune. Seiger and his
wife became respondent, and their constant
brooding over their misfortune finally per-
shaded them that they and their children
were on the verge of starvation. They
therefore resolved that all should die. The
couple administered poison to their sons
Rudolph, aged nineteen, and Bruno, aged
thirteen, both students in the Berlin Gym
nasium, from the effects of which both died
almost Immediately. They then hanged
their youngest son. Martin, aged ten, and
their daughter, Elizabeth, aged seven. Sat
isfying themselves that all the children
were dead, Seiger and his wife each drank
cup of poison and died in a few minutes
Seiger left letter explaining his plans for
putting himself and family out of the way
and justifying himself and wife in commit
ting the deed.

the oldest and largest summer school for
teachers in the United States, opens at Cot
tage City, Monday, July 8, the School of
Methods and Emerson College OF Oratory
continuing four weeks and the academic
departments five weeks. All the instruct
ors are skilled teachers and institute work

400, from thirty-three states and territories
for 1892, it was over 600, from forty-four
states and territories and from the faculty
OF thirty state normal and city training
schools. The course for 1894 has been
heightened and strengthened in several de-
partments. More attention than ever be.
fore is to be given to laboratory work and
exercises with classes OF children. For Cir
cular, giving full information in regard to
the courses offered, address w. A. Mowry

SECRETARY CARLISLE admits to the
senate investigating committee that
he did formulate and submit to the
senate finance committee sugar
schedule, which, he says, was not
adopted; but, curiously enough, the
schedule of the revision committee
which was adopted was exactly like the
Carlisle amendment as to raw sugars,
and so nearly like it as to the better
grade that it would require an expert
to determine which was the more ad-
vantageous to the sugar trust. At all
events, it was so satisfactory to the trust
that its certificates went jumping up
wards and tempted honest Senator Nc
Pherson of New Jersey to renew his
speculations in sugar stocks through his
son, to whom he had conveniently trans
ferred his holdings.

disease. The work of investigation
should go on till the localities where
the disease exists are defined, and the
extent to which it prevails in the state is
ascertained with reasonable exactness.

OUR town correspondence presents
gratifying evidence of the continued
popular interest in the observance of
Memorial Day. The spirit of patriot
ism survives. The places in which the
day was not observed in some form
were very few. There were process
sions, music, floral decorations, and,
where the formal Grafton was omitted,
there were Rotations, informal re-
marks or other appropriate exercises.
The speakers appealed to the genera
tons born since the war to emulate the
patriotism of those who died for the
preservation of the Union. To these
generations, knowledge of the events of
the war is derived from story or the
dull historic page. 1t is not like the
knowledge they have who lived in the
"grand and awful times " of the great
war. So it was fitting that the orators
should endeavor to instill into the
minds of youth the lessons of patriotism
derived from the story of the heroism,
the sufferings, and the death, of the
soldiers of the grand armies of the
Union cause. We regret that lack OF
space imperatively forbids publication
of the reports of local observances
The story of one is the story of all, and
all testify to the patriotic fervor of the
days observances.

INTEREST in the matter of the eXis-
tence of tuberculosis among the cattle
of Vermont is revived by reports of
new cases discovered at different points
Recently DR.. Rich again tested the
remnant of the herd at the Darling
farm in Burke. Out of twenty-nine
head, three were found to be infected
and were killed. Four cattle, compris-
ing the remainder of the herd of Rev.
Henry Fairbanks at st. Johnsbury
tested week ago, showed evidence of
the presence of the disease and were
killed. In every case the accuracy OF
the test was verified. At Brattleboro
grade Jersey belonging to James +
Howard, showing symptoms of disease
was killed. The lungs were mass OF
tubercles. Tubercles adhered to hel
ribs and the glands of her throat, anc
all other parts of her body which were
examined were badly affected. DR.

MANY towns are inquiring if they
have to certify to the secretary of state
in the matter of road mileage if there
has been no change during the past
year. The act of 1892 required the Sc
lectment to measure the roads and
make return of the mileage on or be-
fore May 10, 1893; and it requires, fur
ther, that these officials "shall yearly
thereafter make returns showing the
mileage of new roads opened and of
roads discontinued, if any," The law
answers the inquiry with sufficient
clearness.
SENATOR MCPHERSON of New Jer-
sey admitted with show of candor,
not long ago, that he had been dealing
in sugar stocks in New York city; but
when he found that sugar would be
such subject of legislation as would
affect the price of such stocks, he i'm
mediately unloaded. 1t transpires now
that he unloaded on to his son, so
that whatever gain might accrue from
speculations in which he was guided
aud helped by such knowledge as his
membership of the senate finance COM
mittee might give him this gain would
all be in the family. The arrangement
was convenient one, but the transac-
ton is rather damaging to the senator's
reputation. The niger in the sugar
cane pile is beginning to boiler.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Is excellence is due to lis presenting
in tie, form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and: Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs.
