tleboro scored thrice in the first half and
twice in the second, Duulevy making two
goals from the field and two from fouls,

for Northampton from field in second half.
The home players showed great improve
ment in their play since last game, and
their opponents were guessing all the time.
The Brattleboro team not only had bet
ter knowledge Of the fine points of the
gmae, but they eXceled in quckness and
used judgment in passing the ball, while
Northampton threw at random. The $50
to 200 spectators present were enthusiastic
over the playing and repeatedly cheered
the good work of Dunlevy, Daniels and the
others. The officials were Crowell, referee !;
and Norris and Martin, umpires. The

People living in the vicinity Of Me-

much disturbed the past week by a
couple who live at the corner of these
streets.

comes home generally between eleven and
twelve O'Clock. and has been finding the
door to his castle locked. with the key on
the inside. Last night no got around
about II. 80, and was locked out as usual.
He called his wife in rather loud and
foroible way, and she replied in kind.
They carried on an exceedingly lively
conversation fer some moments, which
aroused about every one in the vicinity.
Finally the quarantine was raised and
the door opened.
AS far as the public was concerned
peace reigned thereafter, but the police
have been complained to and hereafter
the couple will have to come to IN
amicable arrangement regarding the
male members retiring hours, or one or
both will be kept out until they explain

the credit of the Swiss nation
The bank will have the sole right OF
issuing notes, the cantonal banks,
which have hitherto enjoyed that
prerogative, being henceiorth de
CARED therefrom.
This action of the Swiss govern.
ment is in accord with the position
assumed by the Chicago platform
that is, that the government, and
not private parties, nor corpora
tiuns, shall issue the circulating
medium of the country. This is
right. Issuing money is func'
ton of the government, and it is
the duty of the government to see
to it that a proper supply of money
for the transaction of business is
always within reach of the people.

The 'Popucrats have suddenly
discovered that the Vice.Presidency
of the United States is "minor of

il is asked, "ever heard of a Vice
President that accomplished any
thing, or even became known other
than as a figurehead 2"

there was once Vice President
named Tyler, who became presi-
dent, and was something more than
"fifth wheel.
There was anothtrman, named An

dent, who became President, and
who was considerably more than

There was still another Vice
President, Arthur by name, who be
came President, and who had some
influence with the administration.
But, if the Vice Presidency is so
insignificant, why don't the Popo
Gratis and Demolists take their pluto
cratic friend off their Presidential
ticket and substitute Tom Watson!
That would, in truth, be some

They are resorting to the use OF

effect upon weak minds, but only
on such, while sensible people
will treat such conduct as it de
serves. They will give the

take it as an acknowledgment

About three O'Clock in the morn

sitting at dinner-table with a
family which consisted OF one wo-
man. one man and one boy who
seemed to be IL or IA years old.
The boy was the son of the woman
Inv a former husband. The man
was an old bachelor who had mar
ried the woman. There seemed to
be a difficulty or trouble In the
family, and the boy had been de-
MED the privilege of eating at
their table. The woman seemed as
though she did not wish to talk
about it. The only words that l
can remember were spoken by the
man, and these are the words II
said if he did not milk, he should
MT eat" Now, if | understand
this parable, the woman is repre-
sentation OF our country, and our

ington. The boy, the woman's
son is a representation OF the com
mon, plain people, who earn their
living by the sweat of the brow
The man is a representation OF law

been enacted by congress. The
table is a representation OF life'

gress says to The sons of this re-

means, even to assassination, to car
ry its point.
One man would not obstruct the
march of the gold power moment.
Anyone doubtful about the Grim
inality of these conscienceless
scoundrels should read recently
compiled history of the Standard
Oil trust, and be convinced that
these money combines hesitate at
nothing and care not straw for
the sacrifice of human life.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan will be
surrounded by assassins if he pro-
poses to carry out policy in OPP
position to the money power is a
very good reason for having Tom
Watson as the Vice. President. If
Bryan was distasteful to the pluto
Gratis, they would not have any
better taste in their mouths by
swapping him off for Watson. Mr..
Watson, as Vice-President, would
be shield to a president who dis
pleased the money power. 1t is,
therefore, to Mr.. Bryan interest
to have Mr.. Watson on the ticket
if he proposes to make an honest
fight against the money power, and
in the interests of the people.
With Sewall on the ticket, a man
that the money power knows 1t
can control, he will really be in dan
ger. For personal safety, Candi-
date Bryan should insist upon hay
ing Mr.. Sewall removed and Tom
Watson placed on ,he ticket. st.
