PROVE THEIR STANDING.

Senator Mushbach, the patron of the
bills TO repeal the charters Of various
Insurance Companies In AlexandriS stated
last night that he had received letters
from two of them-the Monarch and the
Old neutrality-suspicious. that their imam
cial condition was sound. He replied that
the best way for them TO prove this was
for them to appear before the Committee
on General Laws and bring PROOF of their
financial standing and reliability with
them. This they are expected 10 do on
Saturday morning next.

Absolutely Pure.

MADAM
You use too much soap. One reason
is: Your soap is poor.
Your clothes wear out too fast. The
reason is: Your soap is strong.
What? Can soap be poor and strong
too?
Yes, poor as soap and strong as lye.
1t is lyc that makes soap "easy to
wash WITH" too easy. Good soap is
easy enough; but poor soap is easier
yet, with lye in it.
That is what the soap maker does:
he makes poor soap, to make more
profit no matter how low the price is.
Then he puts in more lye to make it
wash easy-lye at 1 cent pound-and
he sells his soap for 3 cents to cents
a cake, which is 4 cents to z cents lb.
The I've does the washing; the soap
gets the credit of it. But it rots the
clothes; and you think cotton and
linen are not SO good as they used to
be.
It's the soap that isn't so good as it
used to be. You used to pay 10 cents
pound and get good soap. Now you
pay cents to cents a cake and get
cheated two Or three times at once:
CD your cake is q ID. instead of Id.
as you think; (2) your soap is poor
soap with lye in it; (3) lye makes the
washing easy but rots the clothes.
If you send your clothes out to
wash, your washWoman uses the same
soap, very likely; but. it isn't easy
enough to satisfy her; she puts more
lye in it-in the form of sal-soda or
soap powder at or cents pound
and you wonder that your clothes
wear out SO fast!
It's the soap.
The remedy is old fashion soap.
There is no better soap than your
grandmother had. We make a good
soap at cents h., with nothing in
it to make it easy, nothing to injure
clothes. 1t is as easy as soap can be;
not SO easy as soap and -lye can be.
And we call it Harmless Soap" 1t
costs no more than your 8 cent or 5 I
cent-for you use less of it-and it
saves your clothes.
Your grocer will sell you five bars
for trial. When you have used two
bars, if you don't like it, return the
three and pay nothing. Yours truly,
G. H. Posi- & Co.

THE CUBAN WAR.

1t is plainly to be seen by following
the dispatches from Cuba that the in
surgents have lost no ground during
the past few months. Spain is now
sending more troops to the island, it
is said that she will send 10000 more
there soon; this alone will be nearly
as large a force as the insurgents have
under arms. Gen. Weyler is planning
to strengthen his lines and assume
the offensive as soon as the weather
will permit. This is what he has been
telling ever since he was put in
charge of the troops there, and it
shows that the island is now lost to
Spain; she may increase her troops
double what she has and it will do no
good. The insurgents have strong
er hold upon the people of the island
than ever before; the Cubans know it
Spain should win that they are doom
ed to another siege of unmerciful
taxation, and they believe that home
government cannot be worse than
that. The insurgents have made such
work, tearing up tracks, blowing up
bridges and attacking trains that
Weyler does not attempt to send his
troops by rail, but obliges them to
march to their destination. The only
thing that keeps this government
from acknowledging the insurgents is
the fact that they hold no seaports, as
they have no large guns to speak of
they cannot hope to secure any port
at present. If the United States were
to recognize the insurgents her action
would be followed by all the republics
south of us. Gen. Weyler is causing
the arrest of all those he thinks to be
hostile to Spain and having them
thrown into prison without a trial,
and if this inhuman treatment is to go
on, it is as much the duty of the Unit
ed States to take hand and put
stop to the work, as it is to the Euro
pean powers to put stop to the cruel
work in Turkey.

THE ROLOFF OUTRAGE.

The examination Of Gen. Roloff
shows that the evidence on which he
was arrested was of the f1imsiest char
acter. 1t appears to have consisted
chiefly of the statement made by Pin
kerton Or other private detectives in
ment.
The evidence Of such men is noto-
riously unreliable, yet it was consid
cred sufficient to justify the use of the
oning and harrassing the Secretary of
War of the Cuban Republic. But in
stead of discharging him Com mission
er Alexander held him to await the
Jury.
1t does not excuse what was GER
tainly an outrage both on the people
of Cuba and of this country that the
Cuban government has not been fully
recognized. 1t is the de facto gov
ernment of the whole island except
Havana and few military districts
which are held by Spain under mar
tial law. The only pretense of civil
government in Cuba is the Provision
al Government of the Cuban Repub
lie. Yet when one of it's Cabinet Of
ficers comes to this country the mer-
cenaries whom Spain can buy for So
day are allowed to use the power of
the United States to imprison him.
Is this neutrality, is it sympathy for
the oppressed and fellow feeling for
those who are struggling to extend
the influence of American institu-
tions?

We copy an article in another col
umn from the HardaUicE Gazette on
'sThe Normal Schools which we en-
dorse in part. If the State is to pay
out large sums in money to three
schools it should be pretty we'll de-
monstrated that they are giving in
return set of teachers who are very
er, which graduates from our best
high schools and academies. That
these three schools are doing a good
work cannot be denied, whether
Johnsbury, Saxtons River, Mont
pelier and in other first class schools
remains to be determined. Unless
the three Normal schools are really
much better than other schools as
training schools for teachers the
State should not boost them along.
There ought to be some statistics and
Information on the matter from the
State Superintendent and other
sources which will help to determine
the matter. We are not in favor of
having one school in place of the
three, and State affair. We have
state institutions enough without set
ting up thing more. The State is
undertaking to run too many good
things, and state expenses are being
increased every year thereby. Mem
bers of the legislature should lnvesti-
gate the Normal school business pret-
ty thoroughly.

THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.

The record of the nineteenth CEN
tury will be terribly stained by the
cruelties sand the massacres of Ar
menia. It is impossible to know or
even approximately estimate tn g
number of thousands of people whom
have been murdered in cold blood by
the cruel and bloodthirsty Turk. The
crime has been going on for several
years, and instead of dying out it
seems to be on the increase. The
Armenian country is situated along
the south shore of the Black sea land
on high table land country, which
is of volcanic origin. 1t is one of the
Oldest civilized countries in the
world. The Christian religion was
introduced in the second century and
it has been a religious nation ever
since. The Armenian church is more
like the Catholic than it is like the
Protestant churches, in fact it varies
lutte from the Greek Catholic
church. The country is under Turkish
rule, is a part of the miserable old
and cruel Turkish monarchy.
The reason why the civilized and
powerful nations of Europe have not
end to the atrocities is the fact that
no one nation feels itself strong
enough alone to provoke a war with
Turkey, with the danger of arousing
one or more of the other nations as
an ally of Turkey. Every other ma
ton in. Europe fears the power of
Russia, and dares not let that coun-
try sweep down on the Turkish do
minions as she is seeking to do,
thereby opening up to her commerce
and her warship the Dardanelles
with an outlet to the Mediterranean
Sea. England, France and Germany
are all interested in keeping Russia
within her present bounds and neither
not dare or care to provoke fight
with Turkey, lest Russia shall join
hands with the Ottoman and gain
some position or prestige which shall
give her increased power. On the
other hand the Czar hesitates in re-
gard to an interference with the
Turk, fearing that the other Powers
may interfere and provoke war.
Meanwhile the cruel Turk goes on
numbering and destroying, expecting
to be let alone, whatsoever he does
1t is a strange situation and provokes
the sympathy of the civilized and
Christian world. The great Glad
stone is trying to arouse British SEN
timent and his addresses are stirring
the country. 1t is time the United
States uttered a protest, both among
the people and through it's govern
ment, which should be heard both in
Europe and Asia. The effort of the
Christian world ought to be such as
to stop the inhuman cruelties of the
age. The Turkish government and
power ought to be swept off the face
of the earth and the territory divided
up among nations which would es-

Mr.. Niels Gron Of Boston has done
a great deal to disabuse the Eastern
mind of the fallacy that free silver
has unchecked sweep throughout the
West. OF his recent tour of observa-
ton he says: "The idea that the farm
ers of the West are all going for free
silver is not true. There are two
kinds of farmers, by the way, the
farmer farmer,' who attends to busi-
ness and is we'll off, and the political
farmer who reads, COINS Financial
School, and studies to get 81 bushel
for wheat which he does not raise"
That sizes up the situation in a nut
shell.

In making his quotations from the
great men of the past, Mr.. Bryan is
careful to skip Grant, who said in his
first message as President, "Let it be
understood that no repudiator of one
farthing of our public debt will be
trusted in public place, and it will go
far to strengthen our public credit,
which ought to be the best in the
world.n

Candidate Bryan has a horror of
English gold" For our part we
have no objection to English gold or
any other gold, or to silver either,
provided it is only coming into our
pockets. What we object to is pay
ing out good American gold for goods
made in England or in any foreign
country, when those goods might
have been made at home. And that
since we, by the passage OF the Cor
man bill, ''took the first step" toward
Candidate Bryan's policy of free
trade. But, thank Heaven, our "first
stepr will be our last step.

Lumber producers in the United
States are unit in demanding the
restoration of the duty on imported
lumber. The free admission of Can
adian lumber has played havoc with
the saw mill industry here and the
mischief will increase in volume every
year till there is a tariff placed on
lumber The Canadian competition
has cut down market values here so
far that the Canadians themselves
freely admit that they are making
nothing on their sales in our markets,
although they can produce more
cheaply than our own lumbermen
can. Free lumber is free fraud on
our producers, and what is true in
the case of lumber is quite as true in
the case of other important products.

1t takes many years to build up a
strong political machine in any
doubtful state, and no man is better
qualified to testify to the truth of this
from experience than Senator Hill.
He owes his elevation in political
station entirely to his power of man
ipulating party organization, and it
is indeed an anomaly that such
man in the very crisis of his career
should find himself in opposition to
the forces to which he is indebted for
honor and advancement. The me tn
DDS he employed against his enemies
have been used at length to defeat
his purpose; he has lived to see his
machine smashed by his own obdu-
racy. His recompense is the ap-
plause of men who have hitherto
been his consistent and virulent en-
emies. He apparently "swapped
horses while crossing a stream" and
his new steed does not appear capa-
ble of safely bearing him to shore.
