COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET.

The st. Johnsbury House dining
room was the scene of one of the
pleasantest gatherings that has been
known in many days here last
Thursday evening, when a few
friends of DIR. Hartshorn gathered at
a banquet prepared in his honor.
The menu was elaborate and fine
and gave those who partook of it an
opportunity to learn how excellent
an hotel keeper we have in Mr..
Chase, who not only made it up but
gave his personal attention to the
carrying out OF every detail.
Among those present and to whom
the idea CT the occasion first occurred
were Hon. E A. Parks, Capt. E. F.
Griswold, Alexander Dunnett. A. B.
Noyes, J. Allen Dexter, Robert ST.
monds, T. c. Spencer, ]. Stanley
Meigs and the guest of the evening,
DR.. Hartshorn. The arduous duties
imposed by the menu were made easy
by the discourse of music during the
two hours and halt by SiguOr Gui-
seppe Fuileroni's orchestra, who were
stationed in one corner of the dining
room.
Many of the rea ders of the GALE
DOMAIN are aware of DR.. Hartshorn's
proposed relinquishing for d time of
his very extensive practice to devote
himself TOR year to further study in
his profession with some of the best
specialists in New York and with the
probability OF few months in Ger
many.
DR.. Hartshorn began practice in
town about seven years ago and by
d careful and painstaking profess
sional life has attained to a very high
place among the physicians in this

SOUVENIR OF VERMONT DAY.

The CALEDONIAN has received from
George w. Hopkins of San Francisco
a beautiful souvenir of Vermont day
at the Mid winter Fair. Mr.. Hop
kins, former resident of St. Johns
bury, was secretary of the organiza-
ton, Col. Alex. 6. Hawes was chair
man of the reception committee and
Charles Webb Howard a member of
the finance committee. The book
contains all the addresses a the BAN
quet and the speeches delivered on
the grounds on Vermont day and is
profusely illustrated. Full page por-
traits are given of DirectorGeneral
DeYoung and of Gov. and Mrs Full
Ter. Portraits are also given of the
commissioners appointed by Gov.
Fuller and a number of Vermonters
now in California. Among the lat
ter are excellent pictures of Col.
Hawes, Charles Webb Howard, Rev.
Henry E. Jewett, George w. Hopkins
and Major c. A. Woodruff, all of
whom are we'll remembered by the
people of this town. At the banquet
toasts were responded to by Major
Woodruff and Rev. Henry E. Jewett,
the former responding to the toast
vermont in War" and the latter to
the toast "The Clergy of Vermont. f."
1t will interest Vermonters to know
that Vermont day at the Midw1nter
Fair was the first state day cele-
brated at the Fair and that there
was the largest attendance on that
day of any state day celebrated dur
ing the exposition.

his eyes riveted to the pavement as If eX-

such lethargy that he lost one position after
another, Until soon there was not paper in
Chicago that wanted him. then he began to
tramp the streets night and day, with an in

Are They SincereP

Those who have studied the Wilson
bill know that one of its chief features,
if not its chief feature, is that which re-
lates 70 wool and woolen goods. Wool is
placed on the free list and the duties on
woolen goods are greatly reduced. The
purpose of this radical cnange in the
tariff in respect to wool and woolen goods
is to give the people cheaper clothing.
Attention is called TO the fact that
Senator Allison, who opened the tariff
debate in the Senate on behalf of the re-
publicans, is on record in opposition 10
republican protection on wool and woolens.
He has spoken strongly against it on the
floor of congress, and yet in his opening
speech on the Wilson bill he failed TO
either approve or condemn the woolen
scheduled Why was it he said nothing
about that scheduled Was it because he
was afraid of his own record7 II he had
been thoroughly sincere he would have
either commended the woolen schedule or
condemned it. The fact that he avoided
it justiies the conclusion that he thinks
the bill a wise one, so far as it relates to
wool and wooleus.
Not only Senator Allison. but also Sen
ator Sherman and other republican sena-
tors are on record in favor of a reduction
in the duties on wool and wooden goods.
Since they made their record the duties
on these articles have been raised twice
by the Republican party. 1t is noticeable,
however, that Senator Allison, in his
tariff speech, said nothing about these
duties. He talked for hours about other
features of the Wilson bill.
Why it is that congressman are not sim
cere in dealing with great public ques-
tions? Senator Allison knows that his
constituents favor duties that will enable
them to- buy clothing at lower prices, and
unless his views have undergone a great
change in recent years he is also in favor
of such duties He upholds the high pro-
tective system of his party, however, and
he does so because he lacks the courage
of his convictions.

It will soon be demonstrated whether
the rule for securing a quorum. adopted
by the House on Thursday, will be suf-
hcient for that purpose. The republicans
will tax their ingenuity TO find way TO
make il Ineffective. Mr.. Reed mas set
out 10 make Speaker Crisp adopt his plan
for securing a quorum, namely, that OF
countinglt. and in this he is backed up
by the minority IL would be great tri-
umph for him if he should succeed-a
triumph that would give him such promi-
uence that he would stand an excellent
chance for getting the nomination Of his
party for the presidency.
Throughout this session business has
been greatly obstructed and delayed in the
House by the absence Of quorum voting
In nearly every instance. when an impor-
tant matter has been under considera tion,
business has been checked by the an
uouucement of the absence of quorum,
although a quorum has been present. The
quorum has been broken, however, by the
refusal of the republicans to vote.
There is no rule of the House by which
a memb ber who is present, can be com
PEELED to vote, OF" who can be counted as
voting The committee on rules has per-
sistently refused to bring in a rule giving
the speaker the authority to count those
who do not vote, and the speaker has re-
fused to count those not voting, as Mr.
Reed used 10 do when speaker, without
such authority, The democrats hold that
the speaker has no right to count quo
rum, and when Mr.. Reed, as speaker, as
sumed he mad such a right, and ex-
ercised it, the democratic members and
the entire democratic press denounced
him as dictator and a tyrant.
The republicans claim that the supreme
court has passed upon the question of the
speakers right to count a quorum, and
has decided it in the affirmative The
democrats declare that that tribunal has
not so decided-that it has only decided
that the House can confer upon the
speaker that right.
The democrats have large majority in
the House and could have quorum at all
times without the aid of republicans, but
unfortunately all of them are not sutti-
GENTLY conscientious to attend to their
official duties regularly. A very large
number of them are nearly always absent
They never fail, however, to draw their
salaries with remarkable regularity, and
they have no qualms of conscience
in taking pay for the time they are alb
sent Their absence puts it into the
power of the republicans to break a
quorum and obstruct public business.
Under the rule adopted on Thursday
the speaker is authorized to fine each
member present and not voting $40, and
he is prevented from entertaining a mo
tion to remit any fine. If this rule can
be made effective the practice of not vot-
ing, in order to break quorum, will
cease, because there are very few mem
bers who are willing to give up any part
of their salaries for the sake of worry
ing the ma 5ority.
If MIR. Reed fails to find way to cir
cumvent the rule he will have to admit
himself beaten. All his labor in trying
TO force his quorum-getting method upon
the democrats will so for nothing, and
the glory he expects from success will
never be his.

close Figurine on Prisoner.

There was an old judge down in Texas
about twenty years ago. said Alfred c.
Kendrick, of Cincinnati. to a st. Louis Globe
Democrat man. who had absolutely no ap-
probation of the maxim immortaliZed by
Milton, that Order is heavens first law He
ran grocery store and a saloon, and did his
law business, behind the counter. Once
when was staying in the diminutive town in
which he dispensed law, i was arrested for a
trit1ing offence against city ordinance, and
was taken before him by an exceedingly OBJ
jectionable cons a5le. The judge ordered me
searched, an order which / resisted, and
threatened TO bring suit for assault if it were
enforced.
After considerable argument the court
waived the point, but asked me TO state what
money / had about me. Producing my pocket
book counted the moUey and told him, the
sum being about S1S. The court and the con
stable then put their heads together and
made some very elaborate calculations on
some pieces of wrapping paper. Finally
was fined S5 for the oifense, that being the
maximum penalty; s. for resisting arrest
and s. for assaulting the constable, whom
had pushed away when he tried to search me-
This enabled the court to assess me to pay
three sets of COSTS and as this brought the
total to about S2l, l was graciously given
credit for the talance. AS l had to deave
town in hurry and could not afford to be de
tanned, / paid the ridiculous penalties and
left. 1 stin owe the judge or his successor
about So, and 1 hope he will live till pay
him.
