Politics aud Parnassus,

The dwellers on Parnassus have de-
scended, physically and spiritually, from
their classic abode to take hand in Yer
mont's contest for the governship. First

Herald and News of Randolph, which was
apparently evolved from the wits of the
bright and interesting local editor, or.
having due regard to gender, editress of
that paper. The editor of the Bellows
Falls ZINES, with no music or poetry in
his soul, finds no evidence of the presence
of the divine afflatus in the s.Solilouuv" be-
cause, forsooth, it has no rhyme and be-
cause it has no rhyme he contends it has no
rhythm, and the only sign of poetry that
appears to his dull, mechanical vision is
the fact that each line begins with capi-
tai. Nevertheless, the editor is not en-
tlrely without appreciation, for be prints
few lines and expresses his regret that he
cannot reproduce the whole
Another truant from Parnassus turns nm
IN the office of the Newport Express. In
eight stanzas, of eight lines each, he sings
the virtues of Major Grout.
The bard in conclusion exhorts "all We
Fermontersr to
wake up TO your own interests
And vote for Major Co.
Whereat an unsympathetic contempo-
rary remarks: ..Vermonters will wake
mp when the proper time comes, but it will
be an awful awakening for Major g." The
publication of this poem by an editor
who is a brother OF Candidate Grout is, in
deed, fratricidal war Printed in a Stick

the camps of Groutdom, from Barton vii

eral government of these arteries of COM
merce. We demands the enlargement of
the powers of the interstate commerce COM
mission and such restrictions and guaran-
tees in the control of railroads as will
protect the people from robbery and OPP
preston. We denounce the protigate
waste Of the money wrung from the peo-
pie by oppressive taxation and the lavish
appropriations of recent Republican con-
crosses which have kept taxes high while
the labor that pays t!lem is unemployed
and the products OF the peoples toll are
depressed in price till they no longer pay
the cost Of production. We demand re-
turn to that simplicity and economy which
benefits Democratic government and a
reduction in the number of useless offices,
the salaries of which drain the substances

We denounce arbitrary Interference by
federal authorities in local affairs as
violation of the constitution OF the United

eminent by injunctions. as a new
and highly dangerous form OF
oppression, by which federal judges, in
contempt of the laws of the states and
rights of 8citizens, become at once legis-

No discrimination should be INDUCED In

IRREGULARITY SUSPECTED.
Report of the Savings Building So
II ciety Are Examined


st. Paul, July II. = Considerable excite
ment has been caused among the stock
holders Of the Savings Bank society, all
the deposit books being called in for ex-
animation. The society was Incorporated
in 1882, and for fourteen years there has
never been the slightest suspicion Of any ir-
regularity in the management of the con-
Germ. The calling in of the books naturally
caused some alarm among the stockhold-
ers, who were at loss to know the reason
for the unusual procedure. Much comment
ers, who were unable to give any defnito
information on the matter, except to hint
that something was wrong.
20 e. F. Berrisford, president of the society,
said last night that shortly after the death
Of Andrew n. Nelson, who committed sui
eide May "a last, it was discovered that
there were some Irregularities in the ac.
counts of Mr.. Nelson, who had been secre-
tary Of the society since it was organized.
The books were found not to have been
posted regularly, and other things that
have been neglected caused the officers OF
the society to institute an investigation.
At the regular meeting of the society last
month an expert accountant was employed,
and he is now engaged in making an e1-
animation Of the books Of the late secre.
tary.
Mr.. Berrisford said that he was unable
to state what the shortage was, or if there
was deficit at all in Mr.. Nelson's accounts
as the auditor had not completed his in-
vestigation.

The Democratic party believes in homo

territory.
We extend our sympathy 10 the people Of

We are opposed to life tenure in the pub

them and who desire to have them made
effective through legislation for the relief
of the people and the restoration of the
country's prosperity.
