The triple-screw cruiser Minneapolis,
sister Of the Columbia, made record
of 23.05 knots on her trial trip Satur-
day off the New England coast, and
earned a premium for her contractors,
Messrs. Cramp, Of $402,500. Hereto
fore it has been customary for the gov
eminent not to pay premium on frac-
tons Of a quarter knot but this con-
tract for the Minneapolis provided for
such payments, and hence the small adj
dition to the 100000 premium which
she otherwise would have earned. The
Minneapolis beats the Columbia by
practically one-quarter of a knot in
speed, and therefore takes rank as the
fastest sea-going vessel in the world.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and an
absence of appetite is an indication of
something wrong. The universal testi-
mony of those who have used Hoods
Sarsaparilla, as to its merits in restoring
the appetite, and as a purifier of the
blood, constitutes the strongest recon-
mendation that can be urged for any
medicine.

Has the Republican party of Ver-

any information upon this subject? The
party held state convention on the
twentieth of June, and possibly ap-

Has anybody heard that anybody had
said that anybody knew of any such
body? Possibly they are on strike.

The great strike is nearing its end
in complete failure This is precisely
as it should be. Indeed no other out
come was possible after the strikers at
tempt to carry their point through vio-
lence. 1t has been costly affair, the
greater part of which might have been
avoided by prompt and effective shoot
ing in the beginning. The governor of
1llionis and the mayor of Chicago play
ed the part Of arrant towards and SYM
pathizers with anarchy with the result
that the loss to the country foots way
up into the millions. The frmness of
President Cleveland and the sterling
patriotism of Governor Mathews of In
diana saved the nation from tar greater
losses both in treasure and lives.

If there is any more thoughtful man
in existence than Levi Knock em-stiff
Fuller, present governor of Vermont,
by the grace of money and dirty politi-
clans, the SITTER would be glad to
know it. There are but few men, how
ever great they may be, who would
always think, when they went away
from home, to carry with them half
tone cut of their phiz for the accommo.
dation of any newspaper they might
run against. The other day Levi went
over to Dolgeville, N. Y, to attend
some get-up of the prince of that burgh,
who, by the way, in greatness, is a full
brother Of the Hinsdale statesman. The
Dolgeville paper came out with a full
report of the speeches and a portrait of
the great statesman ~. The SITTER
was kindly favored with two copies,
one from the office of publication the
other from Brattleboro, and also COPY
Of Freund's Musical Weekly containing
Dodge and Lewis speeches. By the
aid OF these the SITTER is enabled tc
give its readers the speech of the Dodge.

brother. Mr.. Dodge said:
SIT is many years ago that first me,
Levi K. Fuller, a poor boy born in the
Green Mountain State of Vermont, he
studied by the night lamp, and obtained
knowledge by perseverance and diligence
which enabled him when a young man
believe but twenty-to build up a success

short time afterward all he had by fire
He again started, and today, after thirty
fiyeyears Of hard struggle, industry adapt
alton and unusual energy, we find our
selves in position to welcome him il

only as manufacturer and busir ess man

allowed him, he devoted great deal Q
his time to public affairs He has eve
