DOESN'T COUNT.
The st. Johnsbury Caledonian says:
" 1t is pleasure as well as privilege
to endorse the candidacy of Major
Josiah Grout of Derby" Well. well !!
But then, if the Coledonian's endorse

when it endorsed Reed, the matter

TOO MUCH TENSION.
Although the subject of candidates
for governor was in no respect brought
forward at the conventions recently
held at Montpelier, still the attitude of
the delegates toward the policy of allow
ing the party leaders, as they are called,
to run things to suit themselves, GER
tainly ought to be encouraging to
Speaker Stickney. The gentleman from
Ludlow is the candidate of the rank
and file of the republican party, while
no one will venture to deny that Major
Grout is the choice of the politicians.
The resenting by so large majority of
the delegates of the attempt to choke
off, in most arbitrary manner, any
expression of preference, indicated in
no slight manner that there has been too
much tension on the leading strings
Granite City Leader.
"GABBLE ON A KNOLL
Following the dismal failure of the
attempt to divide the Stickney forces
by calling out another Windsor county
candidate, the Grout organs have been
vociferously and unanimously claiming
everything for the Derby man, 80 as to
win the vacillating element which al
ways waits to rush in with the winning
side. In Vermont, recently, the hue
and cry of the party leaders was fol-

be headed off. They were for McKin-
ley, and for him their voice was given
This is a year of political regeneration
in Vermont-a year in which every
voter feels that keen personal interest
which leads to independent action, and
it is improbable that any considerable
number of votes will be influenced by
such transparent foibles as are INDUCED
in by the opponents of Speaker Stick
ney.--Woodstock Standard.

So far as honest belief accompanies the

BIGGEST BLUFF,

When you read in Grout paper an
article that tells you that it is all up
with Stickney, and that the Major from
Derby has "a dead sure thing" you
want to remember that the man who
has the bobtailed flush always puts up
the biggest bluff Granite City Leader.

T. j. DEAvITT, ESQ.,, puts in strong
plea for the nomination of Colonel G.
H. Joyce as acknowledgement. 1t is
proper to say that this is entirely with
out Colonel Joyce's knowledge or as
sent, and consequently it is not known
whether or not he would stand as
candidate. The gallant Colonel is
Washington county boy, lived and
practiced his profession here till 1869,
and has hosts of warm friends in this
locality. -
EDITOR JOSIAH CIRCUIT, alleged
campaign manager of the Barre Enter
prise, for the promotion of the nomina-
ton of Candidate Josiah Grout for gov
ernor, denies that the Grouts want the
earth, as certain wicked newspapers
have been saying. Editor Josiah ought
to know, and if he tells what he knows
and just as he knows it, his ipse dirit
ought to settle the matter. But then,
the peculiar concentration of circum-
stances attending the denial, to put the
case into plain United States, is not
calculated to inspire chil-dlike faith.
THE Randolph Herald and Ne,Os of
last week says:
The post-office was flooded Tuesday
with copies Of the Barre Enterprise, which
is booming Major Grout for the governor
ship. 1t has been charged and not denied
that the Major is editing the Enterprise in
his own interest of late. OF course he pays
Brother Scott literally to let the people of
this section know what a fine fellow he is.
Such is politics."
People of Barre are laughing over
the grotesque efforts of the ex-editress
and ex-editor of the Enterprise to keep
step with the Stickney music in Barre
by giving out on the sly that, personally,
they prefer Speaker Stickney, but for
purposes of revenue The paper is for
Grout. In other words, the estimable
and thrifty proprietors are trying to
serve both God and Mammon. The
Enterprise is fifty exemplifying the
policy and characteristics of the man
whom it has allowed to be installed as
campaign editor and to whose schemes
it is shamelessly prostituting itself.
Evasion, duplicity, subterfuge, effront-
cry are the qualities that are conspic-
uous in his editorship of the Enterprise
in his own interest.

The Toledo Bee has recently been
seized with desire to expose some
body or something in vain endeavor
TO pass as sensational newspaper. 1t
didn't see anything in that great city
that needed exposing until it discov-
cred that the Globe Tea Co. were doing
more advertising in the Blade and
News than they gave the Bee, where
upon that paper Immediately conclu-
ded that the Tea company should be
suppressed, and devoted several col
umns OF space Tor that purpose. The
tea company are still doing business
and the other Toledo dealers are enjoy
ing themselves poking fun at the Bee.
Such journalism is disgraceful, to say
the least, and is calculated to cast a re-
Election on other papers that devote
their columns to legitimate news. If
daily reports of police dolngs in Toledo
are any criterion by which to Judge.
there is certainly room in Toledo for
the Bee to throw its search light upon
institutions other than legitimate busi-
ness houses. Such sudden streaks of
goodness usually have mercenary
motive behind them.

The Bowling Green Tribune in order
to bolster itself up in the position it oc
cupies as opposing the electric road
states that a prominent Perrysburg
grocer had Informed the Tribune that
his trade was falling off on account of
the PerrYsburg electric line. The
JOURNAL made a tour of the Perrys-
burg business houses Wednesday, and
was unable to find the 'prominent gro.
Ger" who made such a statement to the
Tribune. In no case did we find any
one who said the electric road had in

of Williams & Fuller, whose trade
would perhaps be the greatest to suffer
If the Tribune's statement were true,
stated that their trade was not injured
in the least by the road, and that he
believed that the town would be benefit
ted in the end especially if the new line
came through the village, which he
sincerely hoped would be The case.
Alfred Witzler said the present cleo
trio line was benefit to his furniture
trade, and that he would be willing to
pay liberal sum toward securing the
new line, if necessary to insure its pas
sing through the village.
Regarding the Tribune's statement
that very little building had been done,
we will say that the statement is false

In the electric railway matter the
JOURNAL desires to be fair with all con-
cerned-to show proper respect for the
company, also the rights of our people.
We have in tervIewed many of our best
citizens and find an almost universal de-
sire tn have the differences between
Council and Railway company speedily
adjusted, the most Objectionable feature
being the suit against Davis, Bowers, ct
al, for damages in making original grant
to Sheridon Co. From what knowledge
the JOURNAL has of the situation we
believe this matter can be settled with
out injury to anyone. We also firmly
believe that our Council are honest and
sincere IN the position they have taken,
and hope no one will insinuate that
their action is caused by mercinary or
unjust motives. but we also believe the
situation has reached that point where
game of freeze out" is poor game for
Perrysburg to play for the reason that
we don't hold The necessary trumps, and
the refore earnestly hope prompt action
will be taken toward a compromise. Such
a settlement is more than possible.

THOUSANDS DESTITUTE.
Tropical Fruits Alone save Many Cuban
- Residents from Starvation.

lrOpic0I FRUITS Alone save Many Supou
p Residents from Starvation.
March 17.-Some idea of the devastation
already wrought by the war In Cuba
may be gathered from the fact that
fifty-seven towns have been destroyed
in the four western provinces.
Most of these towns have been burned
BY the insurgents for resisting attacks,
or, because they were being used as
depots Of supplies for government
; troops. In some cases like that of Ca
b2nas, the troops demolished the town
to prevent the insurgents from occupy
ing 1t. Very little of the destruction
has been done wantonly by either side.
In the general devastation of the
Pinar Del Rio tobacco warehouses have
been burned and the indications are
that the crop will not be permitted to
reach the coast. Banana and pine ap-
pie crops will be interfered with. Thou
sands of people are destitute, and were
itinot for tropical fruits and the tropi-
cal climate, starvation would be theirs.
General Weyler's decree, in ordering
the contiscation. of property In Havana
and Pinar Del Rio provinces of all who
fail to report allegiance to Spain has
produced great Indignation. His de-
cree against planters and others who
contribute funds or aid to the insurg-
ents In any way, applies to the case of
american owners of estates, who have
paid money to insurgents for protection
to their property. General Pando, in
command of the second army corps at
santa Clara has issued a proclamation
calling upon every citizen to join the
volunteers and declaring that all who
are able to carry arms and do not, do
so through weakness in their patriotic
sentiment. All mayors Of towns are
directed to prepare lists of all who are
indifferent or suspected. and send to
him.
Thursday 10 political prisoners or
suspects arrived in Havana from Santa
Clara, and We're sen. to Moro Castle.
