''The statement of the HdrdlOick Ga
zette that Bro. Stickney is way ahead
in the gubernatoaial race is piece of
information confined exclusively to
the imagination of the Hardwlck ed
itor, if the influence of the State press
has any bearing upon the subject, Ma
jor Grout has all the daily papers do
ing excellent service in his cause. The
Burlington Free Press, Burlington Ne,US
and the st. Adams Messenger have all
decided for him, while the Rutland
Herald is performing the same gym
nastics that have usually character
lied it against the candidate who is
invariably chosen. AS to the weekly
press, considerably more than half the
influence of that part, which has de-
clared for ano candidate, is in the Ma
ior's favor. These observations are
made from an unprejudiced stand
point as this paper has thus far nailed
no gubernatoriaI candidates name to

This is Certainly a Chance Which
Should Not BE Lost.

We that our people who suffer
from nervous, chronic or long-standing
complaints do not have the same opportunity
cities where the most eminent physicians
and specialists reside. In other words our
people are debarred from seeking a cure by
the great and skilled physicians owing to the
cost of travel to the large city and the high
fees charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is chance for the sick of
community which should not be lost. DR..
Greene of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.,who
has the largest practice in the world and who
is without doubt the most successful special
list in curing all forms of nervous and chron-
ic diseases, offers to give free consultation by
mail to all sufferers whom their local phySi-
clans have failed to cure. You have the privi-
1ege of consulting DIR. Greene by letter, de-
scribing your complaint so plainly that you
will understand exactly what ails you. He
will also give you his advice, based upon his
vast experience and wonderful success in
treating such ses, as to just what to do to
get cured. All this will cost you nothing and
you can thus have consultation with the best
known physician and acknowledged most
successful specialist in the world, without
leaving home and at no expense whatever.

SHOULD NOT CONGRESS OPEN
THE WAY.

Effort is again being made to bring
about an amendment to the q. S.
co Istitution which shall recognize
G I'd in the fundamental law of the
nd and the following circular is sent
out with the request that the news
papers publish it. We cheerfully give
it place in our columns:
''The Constitution of the United

primary right that our funda entail

Very properly Congress can do moth

way for the nation to decide whether
it viii adopt an amendment or not.
One method Of thus opening the
WY, provided by the Constitution
(See Article 81, is the submission by
Congress OF a proposed amendment
to be voted upon by conventions of
the people called in the different
states. According to this method

voted on by the people as conven-

The bookkeeper was instructed to

EXPORTS OF A YEAR.

il bulletin of the bureau of statistics
Of the treasury department presents
some interesting features Of the vol
ume Of exports and imports of the
United States during the year 1895.
"a total amount of exports for the
year ending December, 1895 was 1884,
8G2, 475, which was only $50, 773 less
than the year ending 1894. The i'm
for the same period amounted
TO so01, 663, 400, which were $125, $780,,
40 il excess of the previous year. OF
this latter sum $419, 1858, 1927 was duti
able, and 1884, $40, 1853 was the value of
goods admitted free of duty. The in
crease of imports over the year 1894
T7es chiefly of dutiable merchandise,
$ the value of the goods admitted
Zee Of duty was slightly in excess Of
that of the previous year. OF the ex-
"Orts 67.56 per cent were agricultural
r0ducts, and 24.99 per cent were
manufactured products, which was an
increase of ,88 per cent during the
Same period.
The imports of gold and silver dur
ing the year ended December 81, 1895,
were as follows: Gold, $32, 1913, 1856; sill
yer, $11 ,286,0O7. The exports of the
precious metals during the same per-
iOd were: Gold, $1O4, 6O5, O23; silver,
S53, 833, 153. There was large excess
in both import and export of these
metNls over 1881, the greatest excess
being II the imports.
The fact that more than two thirds
o. the Democratic Congressman have
just voted for free silver coinage is
He7rg interpreted throughout the
Aouya and West as conclusive proof
that the Democratic National Con-
vention will adopt an out and out sill
V p platform and nominate a silver
-auC idate.
Free trade and free coinage vs..
honest money and protection would
bring the conservative forces of the
country together and give us politi-
nal campaign with clearcut issues
and a wonderfully wholesome inf1u-
ence.
Having settled both the currency
and the tariff questions at The same
time and in the same way, the country
might then move on to enjoy long

THE NORTH POLE.

The owner may recover possession
by proving property and paying
charges. The scientific world is flip
pant in the fact of DR.. Nasen's dis
covery Of the North Pole, but if the
sturdy Norwegian savant has really
reached the ninetieth degree of lati
tude is a wonderful substantiation of
a careful set of theories upon which
he hoped to make his expedition sue
cessful. Nasen conceived the idea of
undertaking an expedition to the
North Pole by new route and in a
vessel Of special construction. This
expedition sailed from Christiania
June 24, 1898. The Doctors plan was
to make for the New Siberian Islands
and thence sail directly north tin his
vessel should be imbedded in the ice,
then drift along with it, following the
west coast Of any land that might be
met. The doctor sent a dispatch
from Vardoe, Aug. %, 1898, written
by Carabowa, in the Yurgorski
Straits, on the I'd of that month re-
porting that he was about to sail into
the Kara Sea, and that so far the
Fran had behaved splendidly, es-
pecially in forcing her way through
the ice. A disptch from London,
March 4, 1895, announced that
letter dated Kjollefjord, Feb. "a, had
reached Hammerfest, Norway, an
nouncing that telegraph Inspector
at a mountain station between LebesY
and Langfjord, saw balloon moving
in a southeasterly direction, and be-
lieved that it was possibly carrying
dispatches from DIR. Nanssn.
DIR. Nansen bases his theory of the
curr snt which is relied on to carry
him through, on the fact that the
trend of the Jeanette was generally
in the direction of the pole, and that
pieces of driftwood have been found
on the east and west coasts Of Green
land and along the east coast Of Files
mere and Grinnell Land, which from
their character would indicate. that

work of Alaskan Indians, in the same
places. The supposition advanced is
that they drifted across the pole down
to the east coast of Greenland, around
Cape Farwell and up into Baffin's Bay
and Smiths Sound In this connection
it may be mentioned that the relics of
the jeanette, left on the ice at the
time she was crushed, were found
on the west coast of Greenland, near
Julianshaad. Those relics must have
drifted at the rate of three miles
day.

MKLNLEY.

The conviction that Maj Mckinley
will be the republican nominee for
president has been growing of late,
even among politicians who would
like to see some other candidate nam
ed at St. Louis. Supporters of the
Morton boom and friends of Speaker
Reed alike admit that the Mckinley
movement is gaining Roadway which
is alarming and are straining every
nerve to head it off This is believed
by the Mckinley managers to be the
meaning of the entry of SO many new
candidates into the field.
Tt is conceded that he is likely to go
into the convention with 300 delegates
at the start, unless the great states Of
the north can be taken away from him
by the presentation Of favorite sons.
His support may lack somewhat in
enthusiasm as compared with that of
Speaker Reed, and if it can be shut up
to the southern delegates and those
from the mining states, it will embody
elements of weakness which will aid
the supporters Of other candidates in
defeating Mckinley. The situation is
admitted by the best friends of Reed
and Morton to be a grave one for their
candidates, and some lively hustling
is likely to take place between the
present date and the selection of dele
gates in the various states to awaken
the gold standard men to McKinley's
attitude on the currency and to awak-
en- the moderate tariff men to the
danger of making a campain upon his
extreme views on the tariff.

About

Bob. Ingersoll says that once a
watch was not a necessity, now ii
is. Without a watch you miss tno

secutively invites decentralization.
Hon. Frederick Douglass ono

had been more serviceable to him
than his watch. His success in lie
depended on punctuaIity, and in
fifty years he did not remember

said that the number Of watches
worn in any community was the
