ard 1t is, firstly, lastly and all the
time, a bright, progressive, aggres-
sive and euterprising newspaper ~.
From the Swanton, VT, Courier.
The Herald is great paper for a
Vermont town and we are all proud
of it.
From the Brattleboro, VT, Ph@-
nix.-It is managed on broad and
generous lines, giving news service
which is notably complete and ex-
cellent in a provincial field.
From the Morrisville. VT, News.
The Herald is a live, progressive,
well edited paper. The fact that its
advertising rates are uniform and
that it is a "pay in advance paper
may be, in part at least, the secret of
its reaching the century point.

Support Your Paper.

A man came into The TIMES office
the other day, and said he wanted his
paper stopped as he had decided to use
his Sl.5O for some other purpose. He
also said by way of appeasing the
irate editor that if anything unusual
occurred he should certainly come in
and buy copy of the paper. To what
use the gentleman intends to put his
$3.50 was not stated. He may put two
or three more dollars with it and take
fishing trip by and by, or possibly he
intends to put it into the contribution
box when opportunity presents. But
is this not straining at gnat and gulp-
! ing camel? There is an economy that
is wasteful. a newspaper Is the organ
Of the community in which it is print
| ed, and not the mOuthpiece of its ed
| itOr. AS such it merits the enthusias-
tic support of the entire community,
The constituency of the paper should
work together with the editor to make
it represent the opinions and ambition
of the town and county in which it is
printed. This alone can be done by
united, harmonious action. \ paper
that does not merit the consideration
given a fishing trip, OF the heather on
distant shores, is not worthy Of sup
port at all.
No man is in business for his health;
he is tout for the stuff to use a slang
phrase, and the editor is no exception.
But the man who is in Journalism for
money alone has sadly missed his call
ing. There used to be a popular idea
in New England that The press and
pulpit stood side by side as public in
structors. While this conception of
the legitimate scope of newspaper work
has been greatly modified III recent
years, the idea Of coupling the press
and pulpit should at least We respected
for its antiquity.
The newspaper of today seeks to
mould public opinion III some degree,
yet its primary object is 10 give the
news and all the news sLrSed IN the
most palatable style. it is als9 true of
the country paper that il II -pfesenls the
the community in which i, ls Ariuted
and should be supported ba ~ people
of the community Doth in subscriptions
and advertising.

A SUICIDE.

From the Sacramento Bee OF last
Tuesday we learn the following particu-
lars Of the suicide Of 9 ~well-known old
Sscramentsn: A sensational suicide
took place about 6 o'clock last evening,
when Henry +. Dillman, ex-Chief OF
Police, blew out his brains with q re.
volver. The deed was done in Dill
mans saloon, al the southeast corner OF
Front and I streets. Several gentle
men stepped up TO the bar and called
for their drinks, Dillman joining them,
at the same time quietly remsrking
that il would be his last one. Just as
the others returned their glasses to the
bar, Dillman picked up q revolver, put
the muzzle to his right temple, said
"Good bye, ALL" and pulled the trig-
ger. No explosion followed, and the
men who had been drinking rushed out
of the saloon. A few moments later
one Of the gentlemen returned, Dillman
still had the revolver in his hands. He
had thrown down the barrel, coolly
picked up q cartridge, inserted it 10
the cylinder. placed the weapon over
his right ear and pulled the trigger
again. This time the attempt was sue
| c~essful. The bullet went crashing
through Dillman's head and emerged on
| the opposite side.

vened there on the 9Th inst. Follow
Jog is an extract from the letter; $50
long as we proclaim to the world that
our purpose is to adhere to the single
gold standard until England agrees to
abandon it, the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at any ratio will never
come. Supplications in this direction
will be in vain. She spurns them with
the arrogance and insolence that such
cowardly and pusilanimous actions on

lands action is courageous and agrees
sive action, not cowardly supplication.
The issue is sharply defined. Those
who do not favor the free coinage Of

making silver the unit of value, Of

Il is difficult to make children be-
lieve that the future destinies OF the
nation are to be shaped by the indi-
yidual efforts of its citizens. That
which was an easy task for our fore
fathers has been caTelessly abandoned
for more than City years. Those who
are inclined 70 6Dd fault with existing
conditions, politically and otherwise,
may by slight effort locate the cause.
The adults of this generation were
taught in youth the accumulation oil
wealth shonld be the aim OF their ex-
i~stence. Too many have been taught
to accumulate it honestly" If posi-
Bile. but accumulate il. And so the
nation has drifted from the grand old
moorings Of its founders. and there Is
none 30 meager OF thought who cannot
see the awful error that has been COM
misted. How to return to the good
old ways Of our fo~refathers is what is
botberine Us now. The youth Of the
present day will have many grave ques-
tious TO confront them when they grow
uu TO be men and ome They are
scheduled for q most Impressive task.
From their ranks must come the officers
of state and the Generals and Congress
men and Senators, who will once more
re-establish the doctrine that "a govern
ment by the people, for the people. and
OF the people," shall not perish. The
immortal words Of the immortal Lincoln,
leader of men, will be the battle cry o.
the future. His life should be the mode
for every boy to follow. Lincoln in lif'
was the embodiment Of truth. From
youth TO maturity he always respected
the rights Of others. but in his &C
tions always did what bis conscience tolt
him was right.
In his address at the unwilling Of tn,
Confederate monument in Chicago oil
last Memorial day, General Wade Hamp
ton said: 'The untimely death Of Presi
dent Lincoln was regarded by tn
thoughtful men of the South as one o
the most serious evils which had befalleI
our section. We know that during tn
war he devoted every energy Of mint
and body for the restoration Of the Union
and that result accomplished, we fel
that his kind heart would prompt hin
to deal kindly and l~eniently with his Eel
low citizens Of the South"

The fate Of an estate valued at $780,.
900 lie likely to rest on whether Profess
sor Harold Whiting. of the University
Of California, who was lost on the Coli
ma, died before or after hfs wife, who
was drowned on the same voyage. just
before Professor Whiting started on his
fatal voyage he made two wills. One
was to the effect that il he should be
drowned his estate should go to the sur
viving members Of his family. The
other was that in case he and his wife
and children were all drowned. his es.
state should revert to members of his
family East. If Professor Whiting died
first, his wife and children Immediately
became his heirs. But il Mrs. Whiting
died later, her heirs would inherit a
small fortune, to the exclusion OF the
heirs Of Professor Whiting in the East.

WILL READ THE RIOT ACT.

Senator Dubois OF Idaho says he will
have his war paint on when he attends
the meeting Of the Republican Clubs at
Cleveland, Ohio, next Wednesday. He
boldly asserts that if the convention
does not declare itself u~nequivocally for
the free coinage of silver he proposes to
Tread the riot act" to il. We admire
Senator Dubois pluck, but his judgment
is not we'll founded. John Sherman
will preside over the destinies of that
body as he did at the late Republican
Convention OF Evansville, Ohio. He may
not be there in person, but his lieuten.
ants will work under direct orders from
their chief. II Dubois attempts to have
a resolution for the free coinage of silver
ct the ratio Of l6 to l Endorsed by that
body he will be sat down on and crushed
as fat as McKinley's hat was by Harri-
son the other day. The only thing we
see in store for the Senator is either to
swallow the Sherman pill or bolt the
convention. Which will he dot Our
guess is that he gulps the pellet.
