The London Times, after admit

to cripple and humiliste China in a
manner seriously affecting European

pretensions that any power, or pow.

of peace between the two nations.
It adds: "Great Britain's interests

Reckoning without the Farmer.

Editor of Wdtchndn:-In recent issue of
the Sunday edition of the Boston Journal
Forbes has chatty article on Vermont in
national republican conventions, in which
he gives some interesting "reminiscences in
regard to the action of Vermont delegates
in notable conventions of rece MT years; and
he also opens up the subject of the repre-
sentatives OF this state in the national re-
publican convention, to be held in 1896, and
suggests the names of fifteen or twenty of
the brightest lawyers in the state, young
and old, with two business men, as capdi-
dates Tor delegates He further states, what
is doubtless true, that both Mckinley and
Reed have many friends in the state and
that the farmers and business men are very
much interested in the policy Of the next
administration Now, it occurs to me that
II the last statement is true land / think no
one will question it), why is it necessary
that the delegation from Vermont for the
selection of republican candidate for
president should be composed wholly or
nearly 80 OF members Of the legal profession,
while that class who are Every much inter-
ested In the policy of the next administra-
tion,' and who represent the foundation in
terests Of the states prosperity are entirely
ignored? Are the farmers of Vermont 80
lacking in ability and character that they
cannot properly speak for the nselves and
their interests in the next national republi.
can convention? No one will dare to say
that such is the case. Then why not recog-
nize the eternal fitness of things Just little
in the Green Mountain State and let two.
thirds OF the delegation be composed OF
farmers and business men and one third
lawyers? Senator Proctor and Hon. A. B.
Valentine have been named as representa-
tive business men. 1 want to suggest the

That One-Term Rule,

In communication to the Free Press,
Ex-Governor Stewart returns to the dis

sets forth the evils that come or may

rotation should be open to any worthy

That " Noise "...Againl!

In its issue of last week, the WATCH
MAN addressed some remarks to the
Bennington Banner to set the contem-
porary right as to certain statements it
had made, evidently without any pur-
pose to pervert the facts, respecting
the recent indictment of the fish com
missioners by the grand jury of Wash
ington county, and in respect also of
temperance affairs in general in this
county. That id noise" at Rut-
land seems to have considered the re-
marks as addressed to it, and begins
again its profane vociferation. Here
are some specimen screeches

march from Lohengrin, the bride entered
the room on the arm of her father, who
gave her away. She wore an elegant gown
of white satin, the only ornament being a
sunburst of diamonds, presented by the
groom, and carried in her hand a bouquet
of lilies of the valley. Miss Nellie Fiteld
was maid of honor, and Mr., j. s. Workum,
brother OF the groom, best man. The

ton, and Mr. Wardner of New York. Mas
ter Charles Bailey and little Miss Marion

the silken lines of the bridal avenue. 1t

the relatives present. numbering some forty
persons, were relatives OF the bride from
Boston and the immediate family connec.
tions of the groom from Cincinnati. The
presents were many in number. and OF
great value and rare elegance The cere-
mony was followed by handsome lunch,
and the bride and groom left on the early
evening train, amid demonstrations from
the younger guests that were not wanting
in fervor or assiduity. The guests from
abroad departed on the midnight train,
spending the intervening hours delightfully."-
with music, songs and social enjoyments,
During the afternoon and evening, several
scores of congratulatory kilograms were re,
ceived Mrs. Workum is a Montpelier girl

The communication by "Vermonter,"
published elsewhere in this issue of the
WATERMAN, has this papers cordial
endorsement. Any proposed repre-
sentation of Vermont in the national
nominating convention that usurps for
the minority classes or professions all
the places of honor or distinction should
be repudiated. The farmer class in
Vermont is not merely the largest in
numbers. Some of the brightest and
most useful men in the state are in its
ranks. Vermonter has named only
few. These are simply suggestions
of the possibilities of finding good rep
resentative material in the farmer
class. The men are there, and this
matter of due proportion of delegates
from this class will unquestionably be
heard from about convention time.

COMMENTING upon 4" the slight di-
vergence of opinion" between the
WATCHMAN's and the Rutland Herold's
reports of the state of temperance in
Washington county, the Bennington
Banner says: "This much might be
said of the WATCHMAN's statements:
If true, Washington county has states
attorney who is jewel. To find one
of these officers in this state of whom
such can truthfully be said is to spring
an agreeable surprise upon the people,
who have reason to believe that
states attorney mindful of the obliga-
tons of his official oath, singularly ju-
dicious and capable and dispassionate
in the performance of his duty was an
impossibility." The Banner is right in
its estimate of the quality of Washing
ton county's states attorney. The re-
ports of the condition of temperance
affairs on the west side, and particu-
larly in the southwest section of the
state, where such a thing as official
duty seems to be unknown to prose-
cutting attorney, and the obligations of
an official oath unfelt, must indeed be
an agreeable SURPRISE" to the order
loving, law-abiding and God-fearing
people of those communities.

THERE is a credible report that the
states attorney of west-side county
and the judge of probate of an adjoin-
ing county joined their beastly forces
recently for grand booze, and that,
when they had ended, the Augean sta
BILE was paradise in comparison with
their den. If this is true, it is, of
course, the direct and legitimate fruit
of " sumptuary laws "; in other words,
of the prohibitory law. 1t is possible,
however, that such an incident might
have occurred under license law,
high or low, or any intermediate de-
gree. 1t seems to be, very clearly,
case of local option, or of individual
depravity, beyond the control of hui
man laws and constitutions.
