CURRENT COMMENT.
VERMONT AND RE ED.
Boston Globe.

The Republicans of Vermont have
earned the gratitude Of Mark Hanna and
Gen. Grosvenor, but they have sadly dis
appointed their party associates in other
New Eng land States.
In fact, the Montpelier convention
could not have treated the Reed candi-
dacy with more disfavor if the Republi-
cans of NJ as sachusetts and Maine had
denounced the man from the dirigo State,
instead of indorsing him.
So far as executive ability, financial
soundness, and devotion to protection
ideas are concerned, Thomas Bracket
Reed of Maine is far superior to William
McKinleykof Ohio. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that the Vermont Republicans,
spell-bound by the claims of the advo
Gates of the little major of Canton,
should put themselves on record against
SO strong man as the New England
candidate of their party.
However, what is done cannot be un-
done. Vermont's failure to do her duty
means new life to the boom for bunoo
game. politics. Her hypnotized Estates.

The declaration of Senator Wolcott of
Colorado that he will not bolt the St.
Louis convention even if gold plank is
adopted probably puts an end to the hope
of the silver men that they would get, if
not all they asked, at least a friendly
declaration toward the white metal. Mr..
Wolcott is one Of the ablest of the silver
senators and has labored in season and
out Of season for the success of free COIN
a large stake in the free coinage policy.
1t had been suggested that Colorado de-
cline to send delegates to the st. Louis
convention, but Mr.. Wolcott is against
that policy. He believes that Colorado
should be represented in the st. Louis
convention by delegates and he holds
that the "duty Of the d elegation will be
to attend the convention, snake the best
fight possible for biInetallism in the COM
mittee on resolutions and on the floor of
the convention if there shall be oppor-
tunity for discussion before the whole
convention, and, after having insisted by
every proper method upon the duty of the
convention. to declare in favor of the res
toration of silver as m easure of value
equally with gold, to accept the will of
the majority Of the convention and en-
deavor to secure the nomination of the
candidates most friendly to Western in
terests''
With the danger of serious bolt
on the part of the free silver states
taken away, as it is practically by
Senator Wolcott's refusal to par.
ticipate in it, there will be nothing
to restrain the advocates of the gold
standard from putting their sentiments
into the platform in plain and unmis-
taxable English. While there was danger
that an unequivocal declaration might
lose the party votes there was also danger
that some weak kneed delegates might be
frightened into some sort of compro-
mise with the silver men-a compromise
that would fall far short of free coinage
of course but which might leave sufi-
Gent doubt as to the party's intention
to make it possible for tho Democrats to
say that the party had straddled on the
issue. Senator Woloott's declaration re-
moves, We believe, all this danger, and

A JOKE ON THE CONGRESSMAN.
They Wanted Garden Seeds, and They've
Got EN-,

| washington Letter to New York Sum-
The postmaster of Washington has been
compelled to appeal to Congress for ex-
IRA help to dispose of the bags OF garden
and flower seeds which are piled high in
the corridors of the post office building
and in the adjacent streets. Each mem
Der of the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives is entitled to ID, 600 packages OF
vegetable and 1,4o0 packages of flower
seed which are put up in tbundles of five
packages each and delivered by the de-
partInent of agriculture III bags as or
dered, but is compelled to distribute them
without assistance from the departm emit,
which causes a great deal of discomfort.
Under the old plan all a congressman
had TO do was to write letter informing
the secretary of agriculture that he would
like to have packages of seeds from his
allotment sent to the persons whose names
appeared on q list which he enclosed, and
the rest of the work was done by the seed
bureau over in Secretary Morton's build
ing.
But that seed bureau has been abol-
ished, and although Congress in opposi-
ton to the secretary's recommendation
and in defiance Of his protests, required
him to purchase the seeds. unfortunately
for their own comfort the congressman
made no provision for means to distribute
them. The result is that most of the
senators and representatives are now bur
led under an avalanche of garden seeds
which they are finding it difficult to dis
pose of, for they are required to address
every package separately and send it to
the post office after making the appro-
pirate selections.
Some representatives have had their
quota loaded into big mail bags and
shipped in hulk to their political lieuten-
ants in different parts of their district,
with a fac-simile frank to be used IN
mailing the packages where they will
do the most good. Others have had their
entire allotment sent in bulk to political
committees: otbevs to postmasters who
are asked to send them out according to
their own Judgment, with the compli-
ments of the congressman. This saves
trouble and annoyance.
But there are some more conscientious
individuals who are now working night
and day addres ing packages of seeds to
the farmers whose name appear in their
campaign book, and "cussing' the secre-
tary Of agriculture with disgust that is
most profound.

Though at first glance the success of
the McKinleyites appeared to be at
tributabls to the close association of
the Ohio mans name with high
tariff measure, and was undoubted-
" due in part to that, it appears
from the utterances of some of the
delegates that belief in Mckinley
nomination at ST. Louis cut considerable
figure in it. 1T looked to us'' said one Of
these delegates in substance "that Mr..
Mckinley was likely to win and SO we
thought if Vermont gave It's support to
him it would get on the winning side
and being the only New England state
to support him would have peculiar
claims to his consideration if he was elect
ed" How many delegates took this view
and were actuated by this motive it is
impossible to say, but it is undoubtedly
true that some were. 1t is not a very
exalted motive but it operates very often
in politics. There is always class in
the community whose chief desire is to
get in on the winning side. They have
no very definite convictions on anything,
but they have greedy stomaohs and in
obedience to them go where there seems
to be the greatest probability of there
being the most to eat.

this tube Is infiamed you have rumbling

There can be no doubt but the Uitland-
ers in the Transvaal if they were guilty
of aiding and abetting Jameson's raid
and they seem to have admitted their
guilt-deserve some punishment, though
the capital penalty was much too se-
we're under all the circumstances. Jane
sons raid was an entirely unwarranted
attack upon friendly state, ald though
the Uitlanders had perhaps some reason
so complain Of the laws of the Transvaal
in regard to them, there was no ade-
quate justification for an attempt to re-
leve themselves by any such means as
an armed raid upon the established
government. Punishment enough to
teach the Englishmen in South Africa
that other people have rights which they
are bound to respect will have Ealutary
effect.

The text of the paragraph in the River
and Harbor bill that provides for the
improvement of Portland harbor is pre-
cisely the same as that in regard to Bos-
ton. excepting in the amount appropri-
ated. 1t provides "that contracts may
be mado by the Secretary of War for such
materials and work as may be necessary
to carry out" the proposed deepening.
There has been some suggestion that this
language left it entirely discretionary
with the Secretary of War to enter into
such contracts or not. Representative
Barrett who had the Boston harbor bill
in charge tells the Boston Herald that the
language is in effect mandatory, and really
directs the Secretary of War to enter in
to the contracts provided for by Congress.
