A recent dispatch on the Turkish
affairs says that the crisis is over and
"the Porte intends publishing immedi-
ately report of reforms already car
ried out" It would indeed be interest
ing to learn of reforms that the Porte
had carried out, and there can be no
doubt that he could make money by
selling his report, as it contains so
much that people never heard of be-
fore. The only reform that will be eff
fective will be the wiping out of the
Porte as an official character.

YaIe's First victory.

HARTFORD Comm, Sept. 26.-The
football season opened here today with
a game between Yale and Trinity.
Yale won by a score of to 0, and had
hard time doing it. 1t was a great
battle from start to finish. Two min
utes before the expiration of half time
Yale scored her first and only touch
down, in the second half neither side
scored. Today's game plainly showed
how IamentabIy weak Yale is this year.

Come, Johnny, bring your playthings and
put them all away,
And take your fathers dinner. He cam

He has too much on hand for that, for he
has got to mix
With other people on the street and
argue politics.

1.-THE coffee-eating habit is on the in
crease, and it is probably the worst
that can be found" said DR.. A. c..
Hindman of Louisville. Coffee, when
boiled and taken as a beverage, is not
only uninjurious, but beneficial unless
taken in very great quantity, but when
eaten as roasted is productive of a train
of ills that finally result in complete
physical and mental prostration. I
have had a number of cases of the kind,
and they are as difficult to cure as those
arising from the opium habit. The
trouble is more prevalent among young
girls than any one else. They eat
parched coffee without any definite OBJ
ject, just as they eat soapstone slate
pencils, with much more disastrous re-
suits. The coffee eater becomes weak
and emaciated, the complexion is mud
dy and sallow, the appetite poor, indi-
gestion ruined and nerves all unstrung
Coffee will give a few minutes OF ex-
filtration, followed with great weak
ness. The victims nearly die when
deprived of the accustomed stimulant. ;"

DEATH OF GOV. GREENHALGE.

Massachusetts, is called upon to
mourn the loss of another very prom
inent and much esteemed citizen, F.
T. Greenhalge, governor of the
commonwealth. He had been out of
health for some months, but only re-
Gently had given up his labors. His
death at last was caused by a success
sion of shocks. He was remarkable
man. Born in England, in 1912, he
came to America a child, and demon
strated how much can be accomplish
ed in this country by ambition, cour-
age and work. He was emphatically
a self made man. He rose by his own
merits to be mayor of his adopted city,
Lowell; became prominent at the bar,
was sent to the legislature, served in
congress and redeemed his state from
the popular influence of the Russells
and was chosen governor, to be re-
elected twice afterwards, dying in Of
flee. He made very useful and pop
in his state and elsewhere. His death
was doubtless the result Of hard Ia
Dor, and the peculiarly destroying in
fuences that come from popularity,
which robs a man Of hours of rest,
subjects him to great mental strains
and wastes the energies of life. His
death follows very quickly after that
of Ex-Governor Robinson and Chas.
Carlton Coffin. depriving the State of
three honored and very useful men.

THE SHODDY YEAR.

During the year ending December
81, 1895, the United States imported
20, ,74S, 1OS pounds Of shoddy. Shoddy
is made from rags that may have
been worn by lepers, and that GER
tainly have been worn by the beggars
and tramps of Europe.
In but one previous year have the
imports of shoddy reached 5000, 900
pounds, and in 1922 year in which
the Mckinley tariff was in full opera
tion-the imports were less than 3OO,-
900 pounds. Then the United States
people were buying and wearing good
honest cloth, woven from American
wool and spun in American mills.
Now they are wearing stuff in which
shoddy is the chief factor. And the
worst of it is that while the quality is
wofully debased the price is not great
ly lowered.
Another notable fact is that in 1892
the Government derived nearly $780,
900 in revenue on less than 300, 900
pounds Of shoddy imports, while in
1895 it did not collect a cent on the
imports of more than 20, 900, 900 pounds
of stuff used to debase the quality of
the clothing of the American people.

ARE THE PEOPLE TO BLAME?

1t is the blight of Vermont politics
to- day that the people have so little
voice and the politician so much
Randolph Herald.
Very true, but as long as the great
majority of voters in about every
town keep aloof from caucuses, and
take no personal interest in politics
things will run in the same old ruts.
1t is easy enough to say ''let every
voter become a politician" The
trouble is the people care so little
about politics except in a general way
that all efforts to interest them per-
sonally, to induce them to act inde-
pendently, and to make themselves
acquainted with the character and
qualifications of candidates outside Of
a limited circle are fruitless.- Land
mark.
If one were to read the above, who
had no memory and no knowledge of
the present, he might imagine that
the politics of our state had fallen in
to deplorable condition. 1t might be
presumed that voters permitted
themselves to be hoodwinked, sold,
and ruined without protest; it might
also be inferred that offices, local and
state, were filed with dishonorable
and incompetent men. Have these
things resulted from the conditions of
the past? Are we suffering from the
effects of the Hblight'' that is alluded
to above? Really, what is the condi-
ton of affairs? How are the people
of Randolph and Hartford served in
the matter of local offices? Shall we
reason that these towns are better Of
fcered than other towns in Vermont?
Doubtful. While there is here and
there an incompetent, possibly dis
honest official, the rule is that the Of
fees of the average town are put into
respectable hands.
Taking a cast of State officers who
have served during the memory of
the brothers of the press, who have
such doleful thoughts about the state
of political affairs, which one has been
unfaithful to his trust; who has dis
honored his State? If we cast glance
to members of congress, representa-
tives and senator's, who of this num-
Der has brought dishonor upon our
little State? Unless it is true that the
condition of affairs, just as it is, has
resulted or is resulting in harm, the
sermons of our brothers of the press.
pretty as they are, have no particular
use.
Vermonters may not all become
politicians, but they know without
special training in the line of scientific
politics who have made and who will
make worthy officers. They are not
in the habit of ig noring matters where
great interests are at stake, or where
there is a liability that they are to
suffer seriously in the pocket. Let
Vermonters have their way, they will
not let things go to ruin, if let alone.

The defeat for the Dingley tariff bill
cannot be misconstrued into an indi-
cation that the Wilson German law
will not be succeeded by protective
tariff measure when the Republicans
assume complete control of the gov
ernment. The senate after March 4,
1897, will be so strongly Republican
that no possible combination can pre-
vent the restoration of tariff rates
sufficiently to supply all needed re-
venue to the government and to give
to American industries effective pro-
lection against the cheap labor of the
foreign world.

There will be no war with Spain.
That country has, with instantaneous
alacrity, disavowed and rendered
apologies for the mob's outbreak in
Barcelona. Other acts of insane vio-

feeling toward this country will sub

CONGRESS IND CUBA.

For some time past Congress has
been agitated over matters in Cuba
and there has been a seeming desire
on the part of many members to ac
cord belligerent rights to the rebels.
The House adopted the following re-
solutions and the Senate similar set
the day previous. The resolutions
were carried by very large majority
as follows:
"Resolved by the House of Repres
entatives (the Senate concurring)
That in the opinion of Congress a
state Of public war exists in Cuba
the parties to which are entitled to
belligerent rights, and the United
States should observe strict ne eutral-
ity between the belligerents.
"Resolved, That Congress deplores
the destruction of life and property
caused by the war now waging in that
island, and believing that the only
permanent solution Of the contest,
equally in the interest of Spain, the
people of Cuba and other nations,
would be in the establishment of a
government by the choice of the
people of Cuba, it is the sense of Con-
gress that the government of the
United States should use it's good Of
fees and friendly influence to that
end.
"Resolved, That the United States
has not interviewed in struggles be-
tween any European governments
and their colonies on this continent,
but from the close relations between
the people of the United States and
those of Cuba in consequence of it's
proximity and the extent of the COM
merce between the two peoples the
present war is entailing such losses
upon the people of the United States,
Congress is of opinion that the gov
ernment of the United States should
be prepared to protect the legitimate
interest of our citizens by interven-
tion if necessary"
When the report of the action reach
ed Spain there was tremendous ex
element throughout the country and
riots occurred where the excited
populace gathered in great numbers,
stoning the houses of the American
consulates and dragging the Ameri-
can flag on the ground. The authori-
ties pretended to stop the commotion
but evidently had no great interest in
preventing the demonstration. The
Spanish government will be called
upon to make apologies and the end
may not be yet. 1t is not to be won
dered at that the action Of congress
creates excitement if not consterna-
tion in Spain. With all that the gov
ernment can possibly do to maintain
itself against the rebels it is doubtless
felt that the action of congress will
encourage the Cuban rebels and, pos
sibly make their defeat impossible.
