A Significant Admission.
The St. Albans correspondent of the
Boston Globe writes to that paper:

The St. Adams correspondent of the
Boston Globe writes to that paper:
''There is every reason to believe that the
canvass of w. W. Stickney of Ludlow for the
Republican nomination for governor is not
only holding its own, but that it is quietly
gaining support and influence in many parts
of the state where its presence is scarcely
suspected, and naturally to be looked for.
1t does not follow from this, by any means,
that it is literally undermining the founda-
tions of Major Josiah Grout of Derby, because
they were too well laid long agoto be affected
so easily, but it is apparent that the endeavors
to underestimate the strength of Speaker
Stickney are not only futile, but if anything
an offset in favor of his canvass not quite
agreeable to those who make them. Washing
ton county Republicans are divided between
the two men, although it was at first sup
posed that they would be unit for Grout.
In Windsor, Windham, Orange, Rutland
and Lamoille counties are many enthusiastic
men. 1t is only fair to say, of course, that
the face of the Indications gives the nominal
ton to Major Grout, and the only hope that
| the friends of Speaker Stickney have is that
| the unassimilated vote, wherever If Is, may
be finally gathered in by the man from Lud-
low. 1t is apparent that in great many
| sections of the state the younger members OF
| the party favor Mr.. Stickney, while a rule
the old leaders are pledged to Grout."
As this correspondent is the assistant
editor OF the st. Albans Messenger, an
avowed Grout paper, and is in position
to know how Grout people privately regard
the situation, it is particularly significant
There is no question, we believe, if the
] people W i'll only attend the caucuses, tbs

Sensation in DR.. ]. c. Moore's Trial.

At the resumation of the case against
DR.. j. C. Moore, on trial in the supreme
court at Nashua, Thursday, the jury were
dismissed and the court adjourned until
next Wednesday morning when new jury
will be empaneled. The cause Of this was
due to the Publishing of two editorials by
the Manchester Union and the Nashua
Telegram which were said to have been
read by the jurymen, and the counsel f,r
defendant claimed such editorials prejudi-
cial to his clients case. Attorney General
Eastman admitted the justice of these
claims, and said the state did not desire to
proceed further with the case under these
circumstances.

Senator Morrill's Well Regulated Life.

Senator Morrill, would not be human
were he to be unaffected by the hearty
tributes that have come to him from all
directions during the past few days, and
we venture to say that no kind words are
more appreciated by the venerable senator
than those spoken by the press and people
of his own state. In this connection our
readers will be pleased by the announce
ment from Washington that after working
all day Tuesday in the senate and IN his
committee room and standing to receive
congratulations from thousand friends
more or less from 8 to 12 Tuesday evening
the senator was up at his usual hour on
Wednesday and at work in his committee
| room at 10 a. NJ. Senator Morrill, evidently
finds regular work to be the true elixir of
lite and the present generation will do well
to profit by the example of his well regu-
lated habits of life.-Free Press.

Rutland for Mckinley.

At the Republican city caucus held in
Rutland Wednesday evening for the elec-
ton Of delegates to the state convention to
be held in Montpelier next Wednesday
Mckinley was unanimously endorsed for
the presidency. The Herald says:
''One thing is certain, Rutland is for
William Mckinley of Ohio. And we be-
lleve that the state of Vermont is for Nc
kinley. That is, we believe that great
majority Of Vermont Republicans are for
him.. And, while the convention at Mont
pelier next week will hardly instruct the
delegates it elects outright, we trust that it
will in some way express itself plainly about
the matter. And, by the way, we believe
that the United States of America is fol
Mckinley, and that he will be its next
president"

Prices on Bicycles viii Go Down.

1t is reported from Boston that nearly all
the makers of high grade wheels have or
ganized corporation, with $40, 200, 900 Of
paid up, bona fide capital, and will dis
pense with middlemen and jobbers. 1t is
not ''trust" in the offensive sense of the
word, but legitimate combination, to do
away with superhuous expenses. 1t is a
good thing for the bicycle makers, but
better for the bicycle buyers. 1t is an
nounced that the price Of high grade wheels
will be cut from the present standard price
of 800 each to 500. The only people
who will be dissatisfied are the jobbers
who see their profits disappearing.
It is expected that the plan Of action
will be made public inside Of week.

Food, undigested, is poison. Digested,
it is lite and strength. Millions of us suffer
from indigestion, bnt we often don't know
it. We think it is something else. Even
doctors often mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overworked.
who need strength. who seem in want OF
proper food, should take Shaker Digestive
Cordial. 1t is astonishing what food will
do, when properly digested.
1t will make you strong. revive you, re-
fresh you, sustain you, make you fat, re-
store your color. make muscle, brain fibre,
courage, endurance, energy; increase your
power to throw off disease and keep you
healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite but
indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Primaries Should Show their Preferences.

In recent letter to the Rutland Herald
the Hon. Hugh Henry of Chester says
Your short editorial on the Mckinley
boom is opportune, and in view Of the near
approach of caucuses to elect delegates to
the convention at Montpelier | suggest that
at the various caucuses in all the towns u
vote on presidential preferences be taken.
In this way the convention at Montpelier
will be more fully advised of the real senti-
ment of the state. While do not believe
in sending a delegation instructed for any
particular candidate | do believe the dele
cation should go with knowledge OF the
peoples preference. Fully believing. my
SELF that the first choice of seven-tenths Of
Vermont Republicans is William Mckinley,
l should regret to seesthe delegates in
structed for any one else. No instructions
is best, in my Judgment; wrong instructions
should certainly be provided against.

Knows Twelve Languages.

Now that Mr.. Dana of the Sun has
started on his annual European trip con-
lectures are in order as to what new study
he will take up this time. Several years
ago he visited Russia, and became much
interested in the Russian language and
customs. Since then he has devoted about
two hours daily to the study OF Russian.
At present he reads about y languages,
being able to speak many of them fiuently.
Mr.. Dana rightly thinks that no man can
know English perfectly who does not know
several other languages besides.
