The situation in the far East has
not occasioned much public interest
of late, but signs are not lacking to
show that the eyes of the world will
once more be turned toward the ORR
ent. Japan has just outlined an i'm
perial policy which shows that the
mikado means business. Russia is
the power that the japanese most
fear, and all their efforts will be con-
centrated to prevent Russian en-.
croacbment. Ofall the war clouds

during the last six months, the one
in the East is the most likely to bring

General Weyler predicts that he
will end the Cuban revolution in a
year and half. If he is as long as
that about it, both Cuba and Spain
will be hopelessly insolvent. Even
now the Spanish government finds it
difficult to raise the money necessary
to keep the army in the. field. The
general may find that the insurgents
have plans of their own in regard to
the conflict, and that the ending will
come without his assistance and be
not altogether to his liking.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Brattleboro Reformer says that "thp
News AND CITIZEN denies that the
program of the party bosses is to
make Grout candidate for Governor
this year, Stranahan in 1898 and
Mansur in 1900"
II Brer. Davenport will again read
the article from which he quotes, be
will observe that nothing is said
about Grout or his candidacy for the
Governorship. We did say that Mr..
Stranahan would not be the candi-
date of the party in 1898, nor Mr..
Mansur in 1900. We respectfully
suggest that the Reformer cut this
out and lay it away for future refer
ence. If we are a poor prophet in
this regard, we shall expect to re-
ceive due notice thereof when time
shall have demonstrated that we are
wrong in our predictions. We wish
to make this statement quite broad
and so we say that during the next
ten years there will be no promotions
from Lieut.. -Governorship to Govern
orship in Vermont. We don't speak
for the "bosses," for we dom thappen
to enjoy their confidence; we speak
only for the NEWS AND CITIZEN and
give the best light which we are able
to gather on this subject.
