Oar notions OF the festivities attendant
upon the observance of Vermont day at
the midwinter fair in San Francisco have
been vastly enlarged by the reading Of a
report of the proceedings in IA San Fran
cisco paper and particularly by study
of the engravings accompanying the ar
ticle. One of these shows Gov. Fuller de-
livering his speech. He is represented
with Il tremendous dome of thought and
with pained expression on his counte-
nance, as if the maple sugar which he
ate at the beginning of the festivities did
not digest we'll. In another engraving
are portraits of Col. Forbes, Capt. E. A.
Morse of Rutland and Hon. Y. w. Fisk
of Isle La Motto. The cut underneath
which Col. Forbes name appears may
have been made originally to represent a
boy murderer-it suggests that sort OF
thing-but the photograph of him
that was used may not have
been good. Mr.. Fisk would not be
recognized by his most intimate friends
Capt. Morse does not suffer great deal
from the picture maker lie is stall
wart and looks like fighter, so perhaps
the engraver tried to do him Justice.

AGED AMERICAN STATESMEN.

Justin S. Morrill,, United States sena-
tor from Vermont, was born Just four
months after Gladstone. Within a few
days of his S4th birthday, Mr.. Morrill, is
one of the keenest and mentally most
active public men in Washington. His
speech in the course of the recent tariff
debate was notable feature of that con-
troversy. Senator Palmer of Illinois is
IS, Senator Harrison of Tennessee is 10,
Senator Pugh of Alabama is 70, Senator
HuntOn of Virginia is II. John Sher-
man has also passed the allotted limit of
three score and ten. and has been for 32
years a senator. Galusha A. Grow of
Pennsylvania, who first went to Wash
lngton as representative A years ag-
and was speaker of the house under
President Lincoln, has just been elected
cOngressman-at-large by the largest
majority which his State ever gave a
candidate for federal Office. 1t would
probably be found on close comparison
that our public men in this country last
as long as any in the world, IN spite of
the extraordinary labor required of them
and the intense strain to which they are
subiected.- Boston journal.

We notice general criticism on our

The law, in our humble opinion, is as

who do not, however, seem to be able tc
help thems, Ives.

Our esteemed contemporary. the st.
Johnsbury Republican, arch enemy of
told FOUNDERS" and advocate of its
townsman, Lawyer Bates, for lieutenant
governor, has not yet told waiting
State on what it bases its assertion that
he is no old rounder. Unless 1t comes
out squarely AMI gives Its grounds for so
averrIng, the State will pretty soon ar
rive at one of two possible conclusions
either that the Republican cannot define
an "old rounder'', or that it is an enemy
of sold FOUNDERS" simply for campaign
purposes. One of the greatest liars we
ever knew wrote something to this effect
in his daughters autograph album :
"Shun lying us you would the devil, for
it is the worst of all SHINING. 1t may
be that his sentiments with respect to
untruthfulness were as sincere as are
those of the Republican regarding "old-
rounderism" When it comes to real
business.

The senate finance committee has at
last got the tariff bill into its hands, the
subcommittee of that committee having
reported it to the full committee on
Thursday of last week. The measure is
not yet before the senate, however, and
when it will get there is not at all GER
tain. The changes made in the Wilson
bill by the subcommittee are in the
direction of increased protection, some
of the articles the original measure had
on the free list being now among those
on which a duty is imposed, while the
duty on other articles before dutable is
increased. The per cent income tax
attachment remains. 1t is predicted
that the present bill, or something like
1t, will become a law by June l, while
another theory is that Hill and other
Democratic senators opposed to the ad-
ministration will unite in opposition to
any tariff bill and prevent its passage.

The rebellion in Brazil is apparently
at an end, and that without much fight
ing or loss of life on either side. But it
is only question of time when there is
another outbreak. These Spanish
American people lack some quality or
qualities necessary to the successful con-
duct of republics, and in consequence
are in perpetual trouble. The men who
come out of rebellion at the top of the
heap usually proceed to govern and to loot
the treasury as long as the people will
stand it; when they become disguised
with the rapacity of their rulers there
is another revolution, and another set Of
conquerors set about enriching them
selves at the public expense. This pro-
gramme is advantageous for the ruler,
but not especially attractive to the ruled,

The Fast-day proclamation of Gov.
Morris of Connecticut is, to say the
least, peculiar. After naming the day
he adds:
1t has been the custom of the people
of this commonwealth for many years
to observe this day by meeting in their
places of public worship and invoking
the blessings of heaven upon this
country. The minds of the people seem
SO greatly at variance concerning the
things needful for their happiness that
it would be we'll for them to continue
the custom of observing this day. and

CROPPING in darkness, are unable to see
the truth when it is presented to them.

Washington, Nov. 26.-PresIdent
Proctor of the civil service commission
has taken n very advanced position
with reference to the postal service,
and Is thinking of recommending that
the tenure of postmasters be perma-
ncnt, as well as the official life OF their
clerks. In other words, he would have
the postal service Of the United States
reorganiZed on the plan of n great
army and efficient postmasters pro-
noted from place to place as the neces-
stiles of the service seem to require,
until the best man reached the POSI-
ton of first assistant postmaster gem
eral, corresponding in rank with the
general of the army and subordinate
only to the postmaster general and
president Of the United States, MS Gen
eral SchoGeld is responsible to the sec
rotary of war. Under this plan the
original appointment of postmasters
everywhere would be made from the
lowest ranks Of postal service and after
examination and for life or good be-
havior. There could be no removals,
except, as in the army and navy, for
cause and after trial by court-martial
1t Is not probable that these sugges-
tons Will be adopted, and Professor
Proctor does not expect them to be,
for many years, but he thinks that
some such system Of permanency Will
be introduced In the future.

AS matter of useful information 1t
may be stated that whenever a cook
Ing receipt calls for a baking powder
the Royal" should be used. The re-
ceipt will be found to work better and
surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls,
cakes, dumplings, crusts, buildings,
crullers or whatever made, will be pro-
duced sweeter, finer favored, more
dainty, palatable and wholesome Be-
sides the "Roya" will go further or
has greater leavening power, and Is
therefore more economical than any
other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream-of-tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern
cooking and expert cooks do not sane
ton this old way. In all such receipts
the Royal Baking Powder should be
substituted without fail.
The greatest adopts In the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal
only, and the authors of the most popu-
lar cook books and the teachers of
the successful cooking schools, with
whom the best results are imperative,
are careful to impress their readers
and pupils with the Importance of Its
exclusive employment.
The Royal Baking Powder Is the
greatest help of modern times to per-
feet cooking, and every receipt requir-
ing a quick-raising ingredient should
embody it.

The Rev. George r. Dodson, the pop
ular Unitarian minister of Alameda,
tells rather a good story at his own ex-
pense.
While spending his summer vacation
at Skagg's Springs, one Of his greatest
friends was a fellow boarder, a little
girl about years old. The two were
constant companions and the child
daily accompanied the clergyman on
his excursion in the neighborhood. One
evening the little girl remarked b her
fellow-diners:
Il like going out with Mr.. Dodson."
Why?" queries a stranger, hoping
to draw the child out.
Because he has no morals" was the
startling reply.
When the summer boarders had re-
covered their equanimity they insh-
tuted an investigation, the upshot of
which was the discovery that the cur
ly-headed maiden possessed an in
Suitable craving for stories. This de-
sire was frequently gratfied by Mr..
Dodson, but unlike the anecdotes of
the child's mother the minister's tales
were never pointed with a moral for
the youngsters government. - San

THE BICYCLE IN EUROPE.
The Craze Has Spread Like WiIdfre All
Over France.

Over France.
1t is quite natural that France, and
especially Paris, with their splendid
roads, should be a favorite habitat of
the bicyclist. Yet, the bicycle has had
some enemies. The late President
Oa1not, who was not remarkable for
the elasticity of his muscles, b said
to have despised it. On the contrary,
the King of Belgium admires the ma
chine, and in the race, Paris Brussels,
offered a gold watch to the victor. The
little King of Spain rides little bicy-
Gle made for him in France. Several
of the Paris journalists are excellent
cyclists.
The hygienic value of the cycle as u
means of exercise has been discussed
by the Paris Academy of Medicine, a
celebrated physician declaring that 1t
was frequent cause of heart disease,
owing to the prolonged effort and to
the fear of being run over or of run
ming over somebody. Other doctors
who are known to have weakness
for the machine, cOmbatted the theory,
affirming that the pastime was ex-
tremely healthy exercised with reas-
on. But when a practice becomes II
mania 1t Is exceedingly difficult to
keep within reasonable bounds.
The bicycle and its devotees furnish
abundant matter to the caricaturist,
who does not fail to use it literally,
and the advertisements of rival MAX
ers present features that are really
amusing. AS to the champions of diff
ferent nationalities, 1t is hard to tell
which have the best record, so many
considerations enter into the question.

city and has taken charge of the strike
at the Niedringhaus tin plate mills
To-day he addressed some $50 of the
strikers and their friends He assured
them that the Amalgamated associa-
ton would extend every assistance,
financially and otherwise to the mill
emploes, both union and non-union.
In their present fight. Mr.. Hanlcy
denied the statement made by Mr.
Niedringhaus that Eastern mills had
reduced the scale of wages and that
the St. Louis mills could not be sue
cessfully operated at the old scale. He
said he was confident the men would
ultimately score a great victory. The
company had number of applications
for work from men who are said to b.
skilled workmen, but so far are only
working single mill, and that only
part Of the time.
