tian Herald of New York, has led the
 way with munifcent contributions col
 lected from its subscribers. But the Turkish government is opposed to any relief of the Armenian sufferers, as personally know. Last August, before I had any idea of becoming fellow citi-
 zen with you Washingtonians, $50, 900 for Armenian relief was offered me if I
 would personally take that relief to
 Armenia. My passage was to be engaged
 on the City of Paris, but telegram was
 sent to Constantinople asking if the
 Turkish government would grant me
 protection on such an errand of mercy.
 A cablegram said the Turkish govern
 ment wished to know to what points in
 Armenia I desired to go with that re-
 lief. In our reply four cities were nam- ed, one of them the scene of what had been the chief massacre. A cablegram
 came from Constantinople saying that I had better send the money to the Turk ish governments mixed commission, and they would distribute 1t. So cob
 web of spiders proposed a relief com
 mittee for unfortunate flies. We'll, @
 man who would start up through the mountains of Armenia with $50,000
 and no governmental protection would
 be guilty of monumental foolhardiness. The Turkish government has in every possible way hindered Armenian relief. An Angel of Mercy.
 Now where is that angel of mercy, Clara Barton. who appeared on the bat tlefields of Fredericksburg. Antietam, Falmouth and Cedar Mountain and un- der the blaze of French and German | guns at Metz and Paris and in Johns town floods and Charleston earthquake

Kentucky Can't Go 1t.

Three out of the four democratic dailes
Of Louisville bolt. The Courier-Journal
says under the caption, ''Stand for Democ-
racy:" "The league Of free silver men
who went to work few months ago to
capture the organization of the democratic
party have accomplished their purpose.
They have put forth in the democratic
name platform which violates almost
every cardinal democratic tenet, and have
nominated as the democratic leader young
hot-head who but recently abandoned the
democratic for the populist party.
"Such foolhardy aud bastard leadership,
and such radical revolution of the very
life principles of democracy will be dis
avowed by those democrats whose subser
viency to party form is not dictated by
their desire to share in the official spoils o
party success, and whose tealty to party
organization means fidelity to the views fol
the advancement OF which the party is only
the instrument"

Clerk of the Senate.

The announcement that George M.
Powers of Morrisville will not be a candi-
date for reelection as clerk of the Vermont
senate has caused ilutter, and three can
didates have rushed out from cover. They
are Messrs. Carl G.. Fletcher of st. Albans,
Max l.. Powell of Burlington, and A. G..
Coolidge of Rutland. The gentlemen each
have qualifications to fit them for the place,
and each has friends who will make en-
deavors in their behalf In the matter of
geographical location the consideration is
all in favor of Mr.. Coolidge, because the
office, like so many similar ones, has for
years been circulated in the little neighbor-
hood up north, to the neglect of southerly
! candidates equally competent. Mr.. Cool
idge is a native of Windsor county, being
son of the late l.. G. Coolidge of Read

The Methodist people in the vicinity of
Morrisville and generally including many

How Nebraska Will Vote.

A letter from well-informed man at
Omaha, says:
s.We have no doubt but what Nebraska
will, without question, be carried by Nc
kinley, and the following reasons justify
this conclusion First-Two Republican
state conventions, with 1867 delegates in
each convention, one held in Omaha, and
one in Lincoln, have in the most emphatic
terms, and with unbounded enthusiasm,
endorsed the platform Of the Republican
party. particularly that of protection and
sound money. All of our congressional
conventions have followed suit. A very
few Republicans have gone daft on the sill
yer question. We think probably there
will be, all told, 500 former Republican
voters in this country who would vote for
a free silver candidate. On the other hand
there are more than 1000 democrats, If we
are to Judge by the expressions of public
men here, who would vote for Mckinley"

How to Have Plenty of Money.

"We will double the money" said the
free silver orator, ''There is not enough in
circulation now"
"Who will double it?" said the plain
travelling man.

people will
''Double our own money!"
Eyes, certainly. You see"
''All the people of the United States
give to all the people of the U. S. just
twice as much money as is now in exist
ence in the country" asked the travelling
man.
"Well, but it is this way when-r
''Where does this increase come from?'
''From the people of the United States,
said the silver man.

Baseball Game,

The ball game at Chester yesterday be-
tween picked up nine called the Bellows
Falls team and the Chesters resulted in an
easy victory for the latter by score of II
to 6. Owing to misunderstanding caused
by mi>directed letter, it was supposed
that the game had been cancelled, until at
9 o'clock on the day of the game the Ches-
ter manager, Mr.. Hamilton, arrived in
town and informed the local manager that
the misdirected letter had been received
that morning and that the game was al
ready advertised.
As under the circumstances it seemed
necessary to have game rather than dis
appoint the Chester people. A team com
posed Of four local players assisted by
Henry Blake of Putney, Warn of Walpole
Shepard Of Als.ead, Way of Charlestown
and Cobb of Springfield was hastily made
up, and the game was played. Although
all Of the players from the neighborine
towns were good ones, Individually, the
changing of positions, and lack OF team
work were responsible for several run'
made by Chester.
Still it is but fair to state that Chester
won by out playing the local team at every
point. At some later date another game
will probably be played between these
teams and at that time the Bellows Fall
team will be composed of more local mel
who can play better team work and th'
the score will probably be much closer
Everything passed off pleasantly and th'
Chester manager. treated the visitors il
first class style.

The Issue Plainly Stated.

In speech at Canton, Ohio, since the
Chicago convention, William Mckinley
said
Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people OF this country response
bility and duty greater Than that Of any
since the civil war. Then it was struggle
to preserve the government of the United
States. Then it was contest to save the
union. Now it is contest to save spot.
less it's credit. Then section was arrayed
against section. Now men of all sections
can unite and will unite to rebuke the re-
pudiation of our obligations and the de-
basement of our currency. In this contest
patriotism is above party and national
honor is dearer than any party name.
The currency and credit Of the govern
ment are good now and must be kept good
forever. Our trouble is not with the char
acter of the money we have, but with the
threat to debase it.

The Western Farmer Argument.

The following specious plea for free sill
yer is being widely circulated among west
ern farmers:
"You mortgaged your farm when wheat
was a dollar bushel; that mortgage
natures this, or next, or some nearby year.
If you secure free silver, your wheat will
sell at dollar again and you hn will be IN se he
your mortgage, so far as the price Of pro-
ducts is concerned. If the gold standard
wins, wheat will probably go down farther
and you will have great deal of trouble
in securing money to pay your mortgage. -
This utterly ignores the laws Of supply
and demand. 1t pre-supposes that nomat-
ter how large the crop or how small the
demand free silver will make wheat 81 a
bushel.

Higher Water Rates.

EDIToR-Pease allow me to state in this
issue of the TINES few facts to the tax
payers OF Bellows Falls village corporation
in relation to the financial condition of our
water department and the necessity of max
ing the rates some 40 per cent higher than
they now are, as | understand it will be
recommended to the taxpayers by the spe-
cial committee appointed to revise the water
rates and will report the same to the cor
poration meeting to be held at the town
hall next Tuesday evening the 21st at 7.3O
o'clock. The water department is owing
some $4,000 on bonds issued by the cor
poration for this department, 1922, 200
are due in 1897 and the balance $4,000
are due and can be paid any time between
1905 and 1915.
The income from the water assessments
amounts to some $1,000 yearly, out of this
must be taken some $400 for ordinary re-
pairs and care of water which will leave
! some $5200 to pay interest on the bonds
and to reduce the bond debt; with this in
come each year of $4,000 paid on our out
standing bonds and interest it will clean
them all out and pay every dollar in less
, than fifteen years provided this department
has intelligent and competent management
Now with these facts which are under, in.
stead of over estimated in view,is it best OF
necessary to raise the water rates any
higher at this time than they now are:
There may be some few slight changes thai
should be made to give nearer justice te
all parties. one Of these for instance, the
number of persons that shall constitute 8
family which now is unlimited, that is, &
family of two persons pay the same as {
family OF ten or more persons. l thinf
this should be changed SO that famil.
should be limited to six persons or under
and all persons over six in the slime famil,,
should pay for extra this would be neare
equal. | now ask the taxpayers and waite
takers, taking into account our excessive
corporation tax and the outlook for futur'
business to obtain the cash to pay all ou
taxes and other obligations, are you will
ing to increase the cost of what we are o
necessity obliged to use of Minard's pom
