A large number of people in this
end of the county were very much
surprised to see the signatures of a
number of our taxpayers on the
petition to contest the election of
Hon. E. NJ. Dunham. What fool
ish move it was on the part of these
signers. The leaders of the Demo,
cratic party refused point blank to
sign the petition. The circulator of
the same as soon as the leaders re-
fused, went post haste to the rural
districts Of the county and secured
the names Of the less cautious lambs
and brought them to the slaughter.
With but few exceptions the list is
made up Of non taxpayers, other
than q poll tax. What need these
fellows care about the expenses
brought on the county ? They pay
county tax Of csc and it cannot be
increased and because these people
say so, the taxables must reach in
their pocket and pay the bill. Its
Il confounded poor law, anyway.

Purifying the Ballet.

OF the seventy-fve persons who were
indicted for frauds at the last general
election in New York city, there re-
main but twenty-one whose cases have
not been disposed of. Five of the
twenty-one have run away and for
feited their bail. OF the other fifty
four cases, thirty have been dismissed
at the motion of the district attorney,
and twenty-four persons have either
been convicted or have pleaded guilty
Three were fined 500 each, and four
$3.50 each. The others were sentenced
to Imprisonment varying from thirty
days to five years, and to some of the
shorter terms was added a fine of 800
or $500. With Maynard's overwhelm-
ing defeat, and the conviction and SEN
tence of Boss McKane, the moral effect
of these punishments must be exceed
ingly wholesome, and the deterrent ef-
feet upon the men who, in this work of
fraud, have been the tools of politi-
clans must also be wholesome. The
principals escape, but the suhordinates
who for pay engage in crimes against
the ballot-box are, for the first time,
caught and punished. The conse-
quence must be, for period at least,
that the workers will hesitate to engage
in their old practices, and the ballot
box will register fairly honest vote,
honestly counted and returned. If this
work of conviction continues, Tamma-
ny's majority is likely to be transferred
to the penitentiary or to go into volun-
tary exile. Mr.. Croker, the Tammany
chieftain, and Mr.. Stivver, subservi-
ent Tammany justice, find the time
propitious for long vacation. The
courts are deserving of great praise for
their faithful administration of the law.
The environment of judge in New
York city is very different from the
surroundings of judicial officer in
Vermont. 1t requires courage for a
Judge in New York city to do what in
Vermont judge, without great hardi-
hood, would dare not to do. The YER
dict against Maynard at the polls, the
legal conviction and punishment of the
men who have stuffed ballot boxes and
made false returns, or committed minor
crimes against the franchise, marks a
new era in politics, and one that is full
of promise to the cause of good gov
eminent.

real estate owned by the town, one of said
about one acre of land; the other situated
on Charles street containing about one
third of an acre of land, when price for

Gladstone.

England's venerable prime minister
has formally laid aside the labors and
responsibilities of government. This
act was preceded by an impressive
speech in the house of commons, in
which he advised his party to accept
the amendments to the parish councils
bill made by the house of lords, not be-
cause he approved them, but because
what was left of the bill represented all
that could be rescued from the wreck of
the long and arduous labors of the
house wrought by the house of lords in
the rejection of the home rule billion
which one hundred days had been ex-
pended-in the rejection of the en-
ployers' liability bill, and in the amend
ments of the parish councils bill, leav-
ing in existence very little of that
measure as passed by the house of
commons.
The grand feature of Gladstone's last
speech as prime minister was his
declaration of war upon the house of
lords. That body had, without serious
elaboration, obstructed where it had
not utterly defeated the will of 1000, 900
voters as expressed by majority of
the house of commons. The question
for the people to answer was whether
they will longer tolerate the existence
of an hereditary, non-elective, body of
men who interpOse their will to over
throw the popular will This was the
great issue of the future-an issue for
the people, not the house of commons,
to decide. So the grand old man, after
more than three score years of arduous
public service, laid aside the high hon
ors of leadership, but in his last words
bequeathed his party most inspiring
battle cry, outlined to his followers an
issue that will not disappear from Eng
lish politics till it has been carried to 6
triumphant conclusion. The grand ole
man was never grander than when
true to the last to the high trust the
people had reposed in him, he strucl
the key note of the policy of the liberia
party of the future, policy that mus
end in form of government repre-
sentative in all its departments.
Failing eyesight and hearing have
impelled Gladstone to resign his Office
His strength of mind and body is still
unimpaired, though he has lived fou
score years and four. and his labor
have been herculean. He is one o
the grandest men of all time. He vii
retain his seat in the commons, and hi
old followers will still gather inspira
ton from his words and learn wisdom
from his counsels. With consistent 10y
atty to his principles, he refused tn
proffer of peerage by the queen. H
has no use for such baubles. His nam
will be remembered when titled grea
ness "has mouldered in forgotte
graves and its memories and epitaph
have vanished utterly"

Fuller arrived in San Francisco last week
Thursday. They were met at Oakland by a
committee of native Vermonters and the
honorary commissioners from this state.
After a welcome had been extended to the
distinguished visitors, the members of the
committee were presented with sprigs Of
evergreen, brought from the Green Noun
tain state by the governor. Carriages were
in waiting for the party at the station in
San Francisco to convey them to the Palace
Hotel, where fine suite of rooms had been
reserved for the governor. The parlors had
been handsomely decorated with smilax,
roses, calas and other flowers by the ladies
of the committee, and presented an attract
i've appearance There was a reception to
Governor and Mrs. Fuller, Thursday even
ing, in the white parlor at the Palace.

THE ponderous democratic majority
in the national house of representatives
gets now and then " sidewinder" in
the course of the rough-and-tumble de-
bates. Here is one by Bowers, from
the seventh California district, during
the debate on the Bland bill for coming
the seigniorage. He was criticising the
majority for its wailing cry that the re-
publican minority would not permit it
to do business. "If the democratic
party" he said, "with its immense
majority, could not do business despite
Gear Reed and the pesti6erous mi
nority, it had better give way to party
that would take and exercise the re-
sponsibility of the majority"

THE board of agriculture, which is
the state board of cattle commissioners,
has, we are informed, investigated the
matter of the prevalence of tuberculosis
among the cattle in the state and will
extend their Investigations during the
summer. The lymph for testing, we
are told, is not procurable as fast as
wanted. The production is not equal
to the demand. The national govern
ment furnishes the state gratuitously a
quantity that would be sufficient to test
about 1000 cows. The cost is about
fifty cents to COW, exclusive of the
other expenses of testing. Still, we are
assured that the commissioners will
make, between this time and October,
an examination that will be reasonably
full and conclusive as to the extent of
the disease and the conditions under
which it is found and fostered.

NOTHING can exceed the cherubic
serenity of Tom Reed When the
house is in an uproar and angry men,
bers are reaching out for each others
throats, Mr.. Reeds face is like the full
round moon as he blithely suggests, as
for example, on one occasion, that he is
informed that there have been some
more arrests of members; suppose we
have the daily Jail delivery" On
another, when the republicans were
reproached with refraining from vot-
ing in the contest over the bill to coin
the seigDiorage in order to break a
quorum, Mr.. Reed pertinently asks,
Why didn't you count us? We are
here TO be counted" And when a
democratic opponent is fain to admit
that had he been in the chair he would
have counted the ex-speaker the first
one, pat and keen the retort came
"One man of sense on the democratic
side.n
THREE members of the senate finance
committee, all from states west of the
Mississippi, are struggling to eliminate
from the tariff bill what little of protec-
ton the house may have left in the
Wilson bill. Hill and Murphy of New
York, German of Maryland, Brice OF
Ohio, Smith of New Jersey, White and
Caffery of Louisiana, have interposed
their will against the destructive policy
of their party associates. Caucuses OF
democratic senators have been held tc
reconcile differences of opinion, but eff
forts in this direction have thus fal
ended in strengthening the determine
ton of the free trade and the protection
senators to stand by their guns. So thu
tariff bill, repeatedly promised to b.
reported, is still the object of bite
warfare between the democratic fac
tons, and there is hope amounting Il
possibility that the Wilson bill may b.
defeated in the senate. The recen
elections have evidently made an i'm
preston on the minds of senators.

Married Under Difficulties.
H. M. BRUNK

A young couple Of Elk City were
married recently Under such diff
culties that it truly demonstrated
the old saying that "the course OF
true love never runs smooth. "
The would-be groom first applied
to the county clerk for a license but
was refused owing the girl being
under rs years of age and he did
not have her parents consent. Af-
ter ten long days of weary pleading
he finally gained the mothers S writ
ten consent, which he mailed to
the clerk but failed TO enclose the
necessary affidavit. This caused a
delay of two days more. He final
ly secured the license and went to
Pioneer after Squire Morrison to
tie the knot, but as the Squire had
been down to Elk City twice on
false alarms in the same case he re-
fused to go. The young man went
back and got his promised bride in
his boat and started for the Squire S.
When about a mile above Elk CITY
he broke an oar, Nothing daunted
he left his boat and bride tied up
and walked back home after anoth-
er oar. Once more i'll the boat they
started onward, but their evil star
had not yet deserted them, for ere
they had gone far the boat ran on
a snag and stove a hole in it and
began to fill so rapidly that they
had to take to the land and walk
the balance of the way. They ar
rived at the 'Squire's without fur
ther mishap, but imagine the con-
sternation of the groom when he
discovered that he had left his pre-
cious license at home Ono more
round trip on foot to Elk City by
the weary groom and all the neces-
sary arrangements, were complete
and the happy couple were made
one.
