Just now everybody is beginning to
take a Spring Medicine. Aud it is a
good thing 10 do provided you take
Simmons Liver Regula,or-the best
Spring Medicine. It's a sluggish liver
that clogs the system and makes bad
blood. A dose a day of Simmons
Liver Regulator will make a new man
out of Won and a new woman too. Look
for the Red q on the packag. 1t is
Simmons Liver Regulator you want.
Posters are ont announcing McKin-
lev meetingsher to-day for the parish
e Of La%fourche, TerrebOnne and
Assumption.
Among the speakers billed to ad-
dress the people we notice the names
of several converts to McKiDleyism,
some of whom a very few years ago,
were strong in their denunciation OF
Repnblicanism. For instance, the
"blilliant young Creole orator." Hon.
A. 6. Roman is reported as having
made in 1894 a strong low tariff
speech III which Mckinleyism, high
| protection, and all that savored of Re-
| publicanism, was roundly abused. But
to be sure he has the right to change
his views.
As the posters announce the meet
ings for the three parishes there vii
no doubt be a large attendance.
Judge Beattie, the nominee of the
white faction of the Republican party
is billed as one of the speakers, and
may be expected to formulate hi'
acceptance of the nomination rendered
him by the New Iberia Convention
The Judge was loath to become "a can
| didate, but the likelihood is that biz
party associates will prevail upon hin
to accept.

Editor of Wdtchman;-I want to express
my hearty approval of the weighty words
you spoke last week in favor of w. W.
Stickney for governor. They had the right
ring in them, for the simple reason that
there is just the right metal in the man. In
the prime of life, of irreproachable charac-
ter and habits, an excellent lawyer. with
an ability and aptitude for public affairs
that have commanded universal admir- ttion,
he stands for precisely what he is-no more
and no less A typical Vermonter, over
flowing with sound common sense, devoted
to the best interests of all, he would scorn
to pose as the especial champion OF any
particular class. And / know l speak the
views of many Washington county farmer
when say that they would infinitely sooner
trust their interests in the hands of such a
man than in those of one who, after pos
sessing himself of a horse with record, a
dehorned COW, or brood of blooded fowls
mounts the barn-yard fence and attempts to
crow hi mself into champion of the farmer
/ knew Mr.. Stickney we'll, even before he
became clerk of the house, and | have
watched with genuine qualification the sig
nal ability he has manifested in the highly
responsible position to which he has been
called Moreover, predict that he is des
tined to add another to that noble army
who have undeniably demonstrated to the
world that the chief product of Vermont is
men, WASHINGTON COUNTY.

SATURDAY, February 1.-Senator Morrill,
of Vermont addressed the senate On the
bond bill. He was listened to with pro-
found attention. An abstract of his speech
will be found in the editorial columns At
the close of Mr.. Morrill's remarks the bill,
as amended by the senate, providing for
free coinage of silver, was passed by a vote
OF forty-two to thirty-fve Senator Proctor
presented to the senate a petition for pro-
hibition in the District OF Columbia. 1t is
signed by the pastors and official members
of all the Methodist, Baptist, Congrega-
tional, Friends, United Brethren and Chris
tian churches in the city. 1t is signed also
by a part of the Unitarian, Universalist,
Episcopal and Lutheran churches and by
sixteen Presbyterian churches. 1t is &C
companied by a 81 nilar petition signed by
officers of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union OF the district. Before the pre-
sentation OF these petitions there were al
ready in the archives of the Capitol petit
tions, with 80, 900 names attached, requesting
the abolition of the liquor traffic in the dis.
trict. - In the house Mr.. Powers of Yer

burdened with mortgage of $1,000 and

citation, the Brazilian minister puts in a
strong vindication of the imperial re-
public of the southern continent.
"With its population of 1880 000," he
says, after seventy-four years of con-
stitutional government, never aggres-
sive, but always peaceful aud self
reliant, Brazil would not require pro-
teclorate to maintain its sovereignty
and independence. Mexicans have
learned to accept the result of the bal
lot, and an election is not now followed
by revolution and civil war. For the
second time in 1880 retiring president
gave over his Office to his legally-eected
successor, and there has been obedience
to the mandate Of the ballot ever since.
At the close of Maximilian's empire, in
1867, Mexico had but 260 miles of rail
ways and 1000 miles of telegraph lines.
To-day she has $500 miles of tracks
extending in all directions and is laying
more, and has some $4,000 miles of tel
egraph and telephone lines. The rev.
enues of the republic have more than
doubl in twenty years, aud the gov
eminent has been placed upon stable
financial basis. Chill and Argentina
have grown strong and self-reliant.
They need no protectorate. They only
need the same civility and respect for
their rights that one strong power oh
serves towards another-Great Britain
towards the United Sta es, 70 e. AN pie.
Louis Napoleon seized upon period of
revolution and instability 10 Mexican
affairs to make an attempt to subject
Mexico to France. Great Britain has
seized upon similar period of instabll-
ty in Venezuelan aft airs to make claims
to VENEZUELAN territory that are plainly
absurd and preposterous. Her greed
for the territory between the Essiquibo
and the Orinoco was fired by the dis
covery there, some ten years ago, of
rich gold mines. Hence her repudia-
ton of her solemn agreement, in 1886,
to submit the whole question of the
boundary to arbitration, and hence her
insistance now that the region contain
ing these mines shall be eliminated
from any proposition to arbitrate ques-
tions in dispute. If Venezuela is left
in the rightful posst ssion of her own,
treated with the forbearance and cour-
tesy the strong observe towards the
weak, and which the commonest pre-
cepts of Christian civilization demand
that the strong shall observe towards
the weak, this plucky South American
republic also will emerge triumphantly
from her political troubles. She will
need no protectorate and will make
another desirable neighbor of the
United States, far more desirable as a
sovereign and independent government
than as a colony of any European
| power

this loss has been sustained by the in
surance companies, but they cannot
reasonably be asked to furnish us pro
lection ii property owners do not try to
help themselves. This is a question
which every municipality in this state
should seriously consider. All property
holders should look more carefully after
their own property and thereby reduce
the fire losses in Vermont during the
year 1896, at least from such fires as
occur from causes that may be consid-
cred little short of criminal careless
ness.

EsPOUsING the candidature of Major
Josiah Grout for governor, the ST. AL
bans Messenger joins issue with the
WATCHMAN in the contest for the first
honor of the republican state conven-
ton for nominating state officers. The
Messenger gives its "cordial indorse-
ment" to what the WATCHMAN has to
say of Speaker Stickney's qualifications
and states its views of the case for
Major Grout. If the contemporary had
made out good case for the major we
should be glad to publish its article;
that is, if it had made out better case
for the major than for the speaker.
Under the circumstances, having given
its candidate the compliment of grace
full send off, the proper thing for it to
do now would seem to be to move to
make it unanimous for Mr.. Stickney.
