unions at Chicago, Worcester and
Brooklyn. At Chicago, a former
townsman, Major Redington,
presided. and a native of this
town, President Gates, made
one of the speeches. At Worcester
two former residents, DR.. Fuller and
Rev. c. Nd. Southgate, were among
the speakers. At Brooklyn one Of
the principal speakers of the evening
was Rev. T. P. Frost, former pastor
here. Mr.. Frost's address will be

AN EMBRYO REPUBLIC.

There are interesting signs of a re-
would not be to the taste of certain
friends Of monarchy, but it would
please the large majority of the
American people to note the estab-
lishment there of spirited little re-
public. If reports are true, the ele-
ments which coalesced in the forma-
ton of a provisional government
are quite content to have still an
other change III the shape of a genu-
inc republic patterned mainly after
the United States, which, it must be
admitted has been. up to date, a
gratifying success.
1t is stated that when the right
time comes-when all the talk about
the restoration of Queen Liliuokal-
ami shall have subsided-a constitu-
ton will be promulgated, estab-
fishing republican form of govern
ment. The trainers Of the new code
have looked out for breakers and
provided certain educatiOna quail
hcations for members of the lower
house of the Hawaiian congress,
with still stronger qualifications for
the upper branch, and the vesting of
the executive power with the presi-
dent and the upper house.
The Hawaiian republic" would
not read or sound 1T all badly; and
with the present provisional govern
ment increasing in strength, and
growth of anti-monarchv sentiment
among the natives of those islands,
nobody need be surprised if the
new republic becomes a fact in the
near future. The provisional gov
eminent must give way soon-and
its substitute will no doubt be
either annexation or a complete and
independent republican outfit for the
territory so recently and so badly
ruled by the dusky queen.

SATISFACTORY THUS FAR.

State Superintendent Stone reports
an active interest, and in many sec
tons of the state especially good
work being done, among the schools.
He is kept busy attending teachers
meetings, and many practical ques-
lions are being asked and discussed
Progress during the first year or two
after the adoption of the town sys-
tenn must necessarily be slow,
particularly in those parts Of the
state where most opposition to the
new departure existed and where
the devotees of the old district
system were reluctant to accept and
make use of modern ideas touching
the management and development Of
schools. There is much yet to be
learned in Vermont, in connection
with the town system, and frequent
meetings of superintendent. directors
and teachers will aid materially in
smoothing out the rough places and
bringing about satisfactory solu-
tiou of the problem. Thus far every
thing-taking the state as a whole
seems to be working well, and MANY
once weak schools are feeling the
benefit of centralized control and
business-like management.

THE COMING ROAD REPORT.

The road commissioners elected in
the several towns, by virtue of an act
of the legislature, have been in office
about a year, and will soon be called
on by Secretary BrOwnell to make
their annual report of the expendi-
ture of the amount received from the
state tax.
If this report of the expenditure"
shall include any amount of infor-
nation as to just how and with
what apparent results the road COM
mIssloners have spent the cash in
trusted to their care, it will make
very interesting reading and go far
toward confirming the success or the
failure of this method of highway
management. The law providing
for these commissioners was one of
the two really important features of
the last session, and the reports
should not be so deficient in detail
as to be unsatisfactory to the gen
eral public.
We have no doubt that even in
this first year of the laws admins
tration some material advance has
beer made in the direction of i'm
proved highways. Let the forth
coming reports contain as much in
formation as possible.

Commenting on the proposed bond
issue by Secretary Carlisle, the
Springfield Republican says: while
the sound money sections must in
general warmly approve of action to
strengthen the treasury, they will
not be disposed to make light of the
incapacity or indisposition to act of
the democratic party in congress, as
here glaringly exhibited" This is
rather severe; but, taking into con-
sideration the record of the present
congress, in special and regular ses-
sion, it comes pretty near being hard,
cold truth

Rev. DIR. Talmage of the Brooklyn
Tabernacle created genuine sensa-
ton on Sunday morning by present
ing his resignation and asking to
have it take effect on the 25th ami
versary of the beginning of his work
there. The reverend gentleman gave
no special reason for his action, but
it is thought to be due to the fact
that the trustees of the church have
decided to charge an admission fee of
ten cents, to go toward paying the
heavy church debt. DR.. Talmage has
had a long pastorate and holds a
conspicuous place among the pulpit
orators in this country, large crowds
f1ocking to hear him every Sunday.

The blow that Colorado received
by the defeat OF the silver bill has
turned the attention of her people to
mining gold. Cripple Creek, which
has been one of the richest silver
producing camps in the West the
past two years, is soon to become a
wealthy gold producing community.
Edsall, Webster & Co. of Colorado
Springs venture the opinion, which is
copied by the Boston Herald, that
when the history Of that gold dis
trict is written it will be remarked
that its timely discovery saved
Colorado from utter financial pros
tration, and served the country in a
monetary crisis.

AN OPEN WINTER.

1t is possible that before this issue
of the CALIFORNIAN gets out into the
world the weather may change ma
terially; but thus far, certainly, the
winter has been a very open one and
has won much favorable comment
from those of US who have been
most familiar with it. For only one
day have the elements really been
boisterous and inclined to deal
harshly with the natives. There has
been no immoderate fall of snow to
block the roads and make travel by
train or team difficult, and for not
more than two or three days has
the atmosphere been so searching"
as to make outdoor work hard
ship The roads have been in prime
condition for teaming, and altogeth-
er it has been an enjovably open"
season.
It is too much to expect that Feb
ruary and March will both come
and go without leaving behind them
a rather stormy or very cold record
but borrowing trouble" is not in
order, even on the weather question,
and the people will 60 right on en-
jOying the winter until it shuts up so
tightly as to be disag reea bic.

The nomination Of Judge Peckham
for the vacancy on the supreme
bench is regarded as but another
challenge to Senator Hill by the adj
ministration, and bitter contest is
likely to result when the judiciary
committee take up the matter Of
confirmation. Mr.. Hill succeeded in
defea ting Hornblower, the last nom
inee for this position, and if Peck
ham gets through safely it will not
be the New York senator's fault. 1t
is predicted that Peckham will fail
of confirmation. Meantime, while
Hill and the administration are
quarrelling over a judge, the supreme
court business has to wait-however
important it may be.

Johnson Has Set a Pace 1t VIII Be
Hard to Follow

BUFFALO, Oct. 31.-This evening it is
claimed that John S. johnson has brought
the bicycle record of the mile unpaced
down under two minutes. He made the
mile in :57 As. This plows a regular fur
row liz the 2:07 Is. which Sanger set for
the mark and which johnson has beaten
by nearly ten seconds. The weather was
threatening and the rain began to fall just
as the quad came out to pace johnson for
the mile. The electric timing apparatus
worked to perfection and what little wind
did blow did not thinder the riding.
The time at the quarter was not caught,
but at the half the wheel passed over the
line in 55 3-5. and the third quarter was
done in :26%. johnson finished in splen-
did shape, and rode on for a short distance
before he went back to the start for try
behind the quad. Through some misun-
Outstanding they slowed after pacing the
quarter mark in % seconds. and about that
time the rain began to fall and the wires
were taken up. Johnson is the first man
in the world to break the trottIng. pacing
aud running horse records; the first man
in the world to do the mile with flying
start and with standing start in less than
2 minutes. No man ever did mile in
less than 1:5O until johnson did the trick.
but he can also claim that he first did the
mile under 40, and now he is the only
man who has done the mile unpaced in
less than minutes.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 3O.-Stanton Abbott of

was announced to be six-round go. From
the start Gehring began to force the fight,
and the thousand spectators applauded
every time he landed blow. Abbott pro-

body blows he got was when he was re-

hOnors would be even at the end of the
sixth, but Abbott was waiting for an open

AT the beginning OF the third he got the
opening he wanted and landed a staggerer
on Behring's neck. Gehring then became
more cautious. and again Abbott bAeame

and when he got the chance he wanted he

So the Editorial Contract Was
Called Off.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct 30-In the District
Court here a somewhat remarkable case
has been filed against the World-Herald.
which was enjoined from abrogating a
contract made several days ago by which
the Republican State Central Committee
leased for the remainder of the campaign
two columns on the editorial page, over
which it was TO have complete control. A
line appeared over the space. indicating
that it had been sold to the Republicans.
The paper declares that the contract was
abrogated because the Republicans did not
confine themselves to what the paper
thought proper campaign matter. The
court granted a temporary Injunction and
set the case for hearing tomorrow. The
papers refusal to carry out the contract
longer. it is asserted, is due to the fact
that Congressman Bryan. who is the nom-
inal editor. declared that he would with
draw it Proprietor Hitchcock continued to
print the committees matter. which was
alleged to be damaging to Bryan's United
States Senatorial prospects. The affair
has created a sensation politically.

Lively lime at the Meeting of the
Grand Trunk Directors.

LONDON, Oct so. - The long-expected
and much-discussed meeting of the stock
holders of the Grand Trunk Railway OF
canada took place to-day. A large num-
Der OF angry stockholders were present
when the meeting was called to order aud
II was evident from the start tGat lively
time might be expected. as Sir Henry
Tyler, president of the road, and the diree-
tors, as they appeared, were received with
loud cheers from their supporters and
with equally strong manifestations of dis
pleasure in the shape of groans and misses
from the people who are displeased with
their policy. The business of the meeting
began with protest against the re-elec-
ton OF Lord Claude Hamilton as direc-
tor. Sir Henry Tyler answered this pro-
test by saving that the objection 10 Lord
Claude Hamilton came too late. Referring
to the affairs of the railroad, the president
said that they had met with succession
of disasters in Canada and in the United
States. The serious business depressions
in those two countries during the past two
years, the question as to the currency Of
silver and the tariff question had delayed
or destroyed ali traffic. Then there was
the coal strike. which was followed by the
sympathy strike at the Pullman works and
its serious consequences.
