ROBERT G.. INGERSOLL'S VIEWS ON THESE
SUBJECTS.
"Cleveand's administration is a fall
ure, succession of blunders. The DEM
ocrats are dissatisfied with Cleveland.
He is obstinate, unsocial, egotistic, asks
no advice and takes none. He is utterly
Indifferent as to the opinion of others.
lie imagines that he is the whole Demo-
cratic party, with something left over.
No party can carry that load.
"The people see that Cleveland Is not
paying expenses; that he is constantly
running behind that he has to be helped
by a few bankers. They feel, too, that
he has not attended to his business: that
he has neglected the public affairs for the
sake of catching sunfish. They feel that
his foreign policy is utterly un-Amercan,
and that in all ways, except fishing, he
is monstrOus failure. Yesterday the
people got the chance of making re-
mark to him. He now knows where he
stands. 1t may do him good, but guess
not.
81 think the issues of the next presi-
dental contest will be just the same as
they are this year. Both parties will be
for good money, and consequently the
tariff will take the lead OF course Il q
Democratic party will make several
blunders before the next election.
"After all, protection is the issue. We
want more revenue and the people do not
want more tax on beer, or stamps on
checks and contracts. They do not want
internal taxation. They want to raise
the money for the most part at the Gus
tom house.
ut may be that the Democrats will
advocate State banks. If they do, that
will be enough to kill their party. We
want no more State bank money in this
country. We want our paper to be as
good as gold, equal always to the best
money in the world.
SIT is hardly worth while to give an
opinion as to who will be the presidential
candidate of the Republicans next year.
There is too much chance mingled with
that question. Reed and Mckinley are
in the lead of all others. Both are eX-
cellent men. Reed is man of great
abllity-brave, good natured, clear
headed, patriotic and absolutely lev
el headed. New England will be for
him, and possibly New York and Penn
sylvania. think he has good chance.
"In my Judgment, Harrison is not in
the race. Allison is somewhat danger
Gus. but ! imagine it will be between
Reed and Mckinley. | hope it will not
be some dark horse. some accident, some
blunder. Whoever is nominated will be
elected"

PERSONAL.

Mr.. Orlando Wooster of Rutland. who
has been i'll for some time, is considerably
better.
Col. Aldace F. Walker, who is one of
the receivers of the great Atchison rail-
road system, is talked of for president of
the corporation, which is about to be
reOrganiZed.
Prof. Peter Collier, who was secretary
of the Vermont board of agriculture for
several years and has recently had charge
of the New York State agricultural eX-
pertinent station at Geneva, has been
compelled by failing health to resign.
lie was so Ill few days ago that his re-
covery seemed improbable, but at last ac-
counts he was much better.
Rev. DR.. James l.. Barton, foreign sec
retary of the American board, is in Jap
an to see about the work of the mission
aries in that country. lie writes home
that many of the foremost men of the
nation are Christians, and adds: "They
all think the anti-foreIgn feeling is sub
siding. We have yet to find the Japan
ese who says the missionaries should
leave the country. The best CT feeling
toward America prevails. Passports to
travel wherever we desire in Japan, good
for one year, were gwen us. This is a
courtesy extended to us by the japanese
government in view of the new treaties
which go into effect four years later.

Later returns from the elections of
last week do not diminish the size of the
Republican victory, but increase it. 1t
was not Democracy, however, that met
defeat, if the Democratic papers are
right, but Clevelandism. On this point
hear the Democratic New York Sun:
All rational explanation of the cleo
tions of 1895 must gravitate to this, the
final one: The anti-Americanism and
chicanery of the Cleveland administra-
ton have wiped out the line that usually
divides our politics into Democracy and
Republicanlsm. The real issue was not
the common one between Democrats and
Republicans. 1t was the United States,
a democratic country, with pride in the
past and aspirations for the future,
against the cuckoo brood.

not expectant of any immediate revolu-
tion of public opinion or general change
of practice. My views are deliberate
conclusions which result from somewhat
careful observation and reflection after
a somewhat varied and extended ex-
perience in public life.
The press of the State may do much or
little IN correction of an admitted abuse.
How generally it may be enlisted to
maintain existing methods | do not
know. 1t can hardly be denied, how.
ever, that the question thus raised is
worthy of candid and serious discussion
and consideration. | may be permitted
to add that, in calling public attention to
it, my only motive has been to cOntri-
butte my personal influence to the abro-
CATION of rule of political action pecu-
liar to Vermont alone, discreditable to
the intelligence of her people and de-
grading to every office, high and low, to
which it is applied, because it is an open
and fragrant denial of fundamental
principle in free government by and for
the people, viz, that public office is a
public trust.

THE TEACHERS AND THE COLLEGES.

Edjtor Of the RegaSter:-In recent
number of the REGISTER is an editorial
comment, copied, believe, into the Bur-
lington Free Press, and possibly into
other papers, to the effect that in the
programme of the Vermont Teachers
convention no name of a Vermont col
lege man is found. You will, of course,
state i'll your next issue that among the
first to be asked to take part in the pro-
ceedings of the association Nov. 2l-23, to
read paper or to favor us with some
form of address, were men from the fac
ulty of each of the Vermont colleges
Prof. Sanford of Middlebury and Prof.
Emerson of the university of Vermont.
This statement you will, perhaps, re-
gard as being worth something in view
of your criticism.
By the way, President Andrews of
Brown and Prof. Dolbear of Tufts are the
only college men on the programme.

GOSPEL Temperance MEETINGS.

The w. G. Il. L. of Addison county
are preparing to hold a series of gospel
temperance meeting at one of the
churches IN Middlebury at a near date.
The meetings will be under the direction
of Miss Townsley, formerly of Nebras-
ka, now of Michigan. Miss Townsley is
not stranger to our townspeope. The
meetings held by her some years since at
the old court house were largely attend
ed, and no further recommendation is
needed for those who were present at
that series of meetings. Since that time
she has been actively engaged in evan
gehstlc work. One of the prominent
men of Vermont and an active church
man says of her;
first introduced her to our Vermont
churches, and feel IA sort of responsibility in
the matter There can be no doubt that this
woman is called to her work. She is IL woman
OF remarkable power of language, and of
much eloquence. For years she laDOred as
an evangelist with the Baptist churches OF
Vermont, adding largely to their members,
and gaining the reputation everywhere OF "A
remarkable preacher, with strong common
sense, peculiarly adapted to her work.

the sudden cessati IN of drawing room con

1t appears that the situation is becom-
ing worse and worse year by year. Gov.
the subject came up, tells an interviewer
that he does not care for another term of
office. However, that fact does not les
sen the force of Mr.. Stewards conten-
tions, and the Watchman's figures show
clearly the need of reform so far as the
legislature is concerned.

Hon. j. w. Stewards letter on the one

other column, leaves little to be said on
the subject. Commenting on the letter

It's easy to advertise "half price"
wonderful bargains" goods almost
given away" And there's nothing very
new and novel about it. The New Store
will never knowingly make a statement
that is not absolutely true. Then when
we advertise reduced prices people will
believe us Stores can't live by always
selling below cost.

CLOAI<S AT HALF PRICE.

A manufacturer offered us his line of
sample garments at 30 cents on the dollar.
Told us that it was little early for
this, but he would have to do it soon, and

Cloaks and Jackets, some at half prices,
none at over two-thrds prices in this lot.
Every garment is a selected one.
Not an out-of-date style amongst them.
This ought to make bigger cloak sales
than any two Burlington stores have ever
seen.

that week ago we should have had to
charge $50 for.
$40 buys handsome jacket that would
have cost you $40 early in the fall.
And so it goes.

that in all our big stock there's not a sim
gle garment that was not made for the

To be Removed from Politics.

| WASHINGTON, Aug, 3l.-The move
ment to bring the scores Oh thousands
Of fourth class postmasters under the
civil service begins to assume definite
propoti tons. In few days paper
will be established here having the ac-
complishment of that purpose as its
| moter power. It knows that the Pres
ident looko with favor upon the main
proposition and that the conditions
under which it could be brought have
been seriously consid cred. tits prop
er now to educate the fourth-class post
masters as to the benefits and desira-
bllitv of civil service and incidentally
organize them into compact body
which will eventually take action ex-
pressing the conviction that they
should be included in the classified
service. The number of employees
involved is far in excess of those effect
ed by any order heretofore issued.
AS political weapon the fourth
class postmasters have always been
regarded as party. They are in every
village, hamlet and cross-road in the
United States and are able to perform
missionary work that must otherwise
remain undone. Their influence, es-
pecially in remote and inaccessible
sections of the country, can hardly be
be overestimated. 1t is to take this
army of officeholders out Of politics by
deprving them of personal interest
in political results as we'll as to in
crease efficiency by making tenures de-
pendent only upon capable service that
the civil service reformers now devote
their attention to this particular direc-
ton.
