For governor, Josiah Grout of Or
leans county: for congressman from
second district, w. w. Grout of Or
leans county; for speaker of the next
house of representatives Theophilus
Grout of Orleans county.
The above from the BelloaUs Falls
Times shows to what unfair things
the anti-Grout papers are resorting to
create a prejudice against Maj. Grout
or Gen. Grout. The people will not
be Influenced in opposition to one or
the other of the Grouts by this sort of
stuff. If it is felt that one or all of
them are the best men for certain po-
sitions they will invite them to hold
them. When the people say that they
are not the best men for the places
named the public can be assured that
they will not be in the field as candi-
dates. 1t is very cheap ridicule to
scorch man because he has re-
spected and honored brother.

Sec. Olney is right in ruling that the
United States does not intend to give
a right of asylum to every person who
chooses to rush into an American en-
bassy in a foreign country. Just how
far the right of asylum should be car
ried, is perhaps an open question; but
certainly the United States is in no
position today to go around the world
hunting up quarrels for the sake of
every petty revolutionist or wrong
doer who chooses to summon the
United States to his aid.

The news from Washington that
some sort of an immigration bill is
sure to pass congress this session is
very welcome. The resolution pro-
posed in the house last week that
Saturday and Monday be assigned for
the consideration Of the several i'm
migration bills pending, with the un-
derstanding that there shall be vote
on them, is a good start. Of course
there are circumstances, both in the
house and the senate, that may upset
this programme; but let it once get
under headway, and it will be hard
work to stop it.

Mr.. Depew will have chance to
say something memorable when he
undertakes, to send message
around the world with electrici-
ty generated by Niagara Falls. The
sentence of eight words will be sent
by way of England, Portugal and In
dia to Australia, returning to the
room in which Mr.. Depew is seated
via Cape Town, Portugal and Brazil.
1t is thought that the round trip of
the epigram will occupy only few
minutes.

All honor to Judge Thompson for
refusing to naturalize the three Port
uguese who presented themselves for
this purpose at the Lamoille County
Court last week. The Judge ques-
toned them pretty closely and when
he found they knew nothing about
the constitution and could neither
read or write he continued them on
probation" awhile longer. We think
his action a wise one.-Citizen.

to State politics. Here is the ticket
that will be: Governor, Josiah Grout;
Lieut.. Gov, N. w. Fisk; Treasurer,

What Business Needs.

The gOldbug press Of New York
city Is but All echo of the bond
dealers and importers. They have
more interest, as one would think
from what is written, in foreign
trade and in selling bonds abroad
than they have in the entire pro-
ducing interests of the United
States. is certainly time that
the people Of this country began to
take the control of the legislation
out of the hands of bond mongers
and foreign importers. The farm
ers, miners and manufactures Ger.
tainly have some interest in this
country, and 1t should be respected
by the lawmakers.
1t may be foreseen without Il
shadow of doubt that the pro.
ducers of this country are not go-

to quicken business life than all

She Didn't Sail.

A Liverpool lady had an unpleas.
ant experience recently. She was
about to sail by one of the Atlantic
liners for New York, and she left
one trunk to be packed the morning
of her start. They called for it
about @ q. IN. She protested, but
the men declared it WIS her last
chance to get it on the steamer.
Tho poor little woman was half
blind with sleep. She got up and
flung the things into the trunk
towels, tides, books, anything that
came to hand. Then she sat on the
trunk, got 1t locked, popped into
bed and was fast asleep before they
got it out of tho room.
In duo time she awoke with just
an hour or SO to get her bath and
breakfast and get down to the
wharf, and then she found that she
hadn't o living stitch to her back
but tho nightgown she stood in. She
won't on her knees to the chamber
maid, she offered any money for an
ulster and veil, she begged the
landlord for his macintosh and q
pair of boots-anything-anything,
and she arrived at the wharf In time
to see the vessel sail out of the dock.
Her trunks-ob, they got off right
enough, but she herself was left be-

missed that 10 decision has been actually
