HUNGER THE DISEASE; EvIC.
TIONS THE CURE.

It is needless to say there is
only one country in Europe
whose condition could be des-
cribed in those six words. ireland
is threatened with famine, and
the Government is ejeeting the
hungry people from their wretch
ed homes because they cannot
pay rent, the failure of the crops
depriving them of the where's
withal to procure even the ne
cessaries of life.
1t is the old, old story. The
loss of a single harvest entails
famine on a country which is
compelled in good season to pay
over to England the fruits of it's
industry that in any justly gov
erned country would have been
the peoples reliance in time If
distress. The Royal Commission
Of inquiry appointed by the EngA
lish Government, and having no
favor for Ireland, reports that
England has been cheating the
"sister island" out of millions of
pounds every year since the Uu-
ion. The cheating is going on
tosday, and Irish farmers must
starve because their surplus pro-
duct is stolen by England.
The landlords are doing as
they always have done, evicting
their helpless tenantry with all
the brutal accomplishments which
the word eviction signifies. The
story of hunger is told by the
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian which, as a cablegram
of the seventh instant justly
says, is lone of the most trusts
worthy and least sensational pa
pers in England" The tale of
the evictions comes from all
quarters. The account of Eng.
lands action to relieve the suf-
ferers OF restrain the evictors
comes from-nobody.
We are told with much sound
ing of Pharisaical trumpets that
the Government of India has
made preparations to meet an
other famine in that country
with such care that not a man.
woman or child in all the land
shall perish of hunger; but In
dia is far away from the daily
press and the cable, and no It'd
ings of starvation will reach the
world through British channels.
We hope that there may be none
to hide or SUPPRESS; but how
about the famine at England's
door? What preparations are
being made against it? None.
The Government is doing moth
ing. will probably do nothing
until too late. Again the outside
world will be asked to relieve the
distress Of Great Britain's SUBJ
jects, and the appeal will not be
in vain. The shame is with the
power which let's its subjects beg
for bread, not with the unhappy
people whom that power has
driven to beggary and famine.
Who is this unkept Lazarus that
he should offend the senses of
Dives with his rags and his
sores and his hunger?

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
In the jewelry business at o26 Penn.
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and f~avorab1y known,
was a victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted. for this terrible disease has
baffied the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In a recent letter he says: "About
four years ago I contracted a severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before I vas in a terri
bic condition. Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which 1 took faith
fully for six months, cost me just three
hundred dollars, and left me worse than
when I began it. My condition can

THE PLATFORM.

Resolved, That, as representing the
Republicans of Vermont, we rene W
our pledges of allegiance to the Great
Party which from its formation has
had the unfaltering support of our
Green Mountain State, and is the only
party which has shown the statesman
ship needed to safely guide the ship
of State.
We believe that the credit of the
Government should be sustained not
by the issue of bonds and the increase
of the national debt, but by a return
to system of duties which shall re-
plenish the public Treasury, put in
motion the now silent wheels of bust
ness and ensure living prices to Amer
lean farms and workshops.
The Republicans of Vermont are I'M
varying in their devotion to the Re-
publican doctrine of protection. We
believe in a tariff which shall raise
sufficient revenue to meet the neces
ly administered, and at the same time
furnish reasonable protection to
American industries, American labor,
and the products of American farms.
We believe in the policy of recipro-
city established under the last Repub
lican Administration, which affords us
a market for our surplus products and
manufactures, and enables us to OBJ
tain from other countries, under the
most advantageous terms, articles
which we desire and do not produce.
We believe in a consistent and dig
nified foreign policy based upon the
traditional doctrine of non interven-
ton in the affairs of the old world,
and the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine in this.
We favor just but liberal admins
tration of the pc nsion laws, an ade-
quate system of coast defence, and a
reasonable regulation and restriction
of immigration.
The Republicans of Vermont are un
alterably opposed to any scheme to
give the country deprecated or de-
based currency. We are therefore op-
posed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement,
and until established we believe
the present monetary standard should
be honorably maintained. The con-
tin ued agitation for the free coinage
of silver retards the return of con-
6dence and prosperity, stands in the
way of beneficial legislation, and is in
every respect harmful to the best in
terest of the whole country.
We adhere to our custom not to re-
strict the delegates to the National
Convention by instructions or express
sions of choice as to a Presidential
candidate, but we trust them to
faithfully represent us and the best
interests of the Republican Party and
the country according to their judg-
ment when the convention meets. 10
the choice of that convention we
pledge our hearty and loyal support,
promising to keep Vermont where,
without shadow of turning, she has
always stood in the front rank of Re-
publican States.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republlcan State Convention
was held at Montpelier April 49, The
convention was called to order
by Hon. Olin Merrill, chairman
of the state committee, who invited
Rev. E. M. Smith d. D., of the Mont
pelier Seminary to offer prayer. The
secretary, Hon. Ell. S. Peck, then read
the call for the convention. Chairman
Merrill then introduced William A.
Lord, of Montpelier, as temporary
chairman of the convention. He made
rafting speech. E. O. Leonard of
Bradford, was made secretary, and T.
III. Page, OF Hyde Park, assistant Sc
cretary.
A committee on resolutions with
Ex-Gov. Stewart, as chairman, was
selected.
RESOLUTIONS.
The first fight came when a motion
was made to refer all resolutions Of
fered on the floor of the convention
to the committee on resolutions with
out debate. A motion to amend was
made, excepting from the motion all
resolutions in favor Of presidential
candidates or instructing the delegat-
es. A lively debate followed and it
was evident the long expected crisis
of the convention had come. The
amendment was the entering wedge
of the Mckinley men, who hoped to
take the convention by storm by
rousing resolution in favor of their
candidate. The amendment prevail
ed by rousing vote. This was the
first Mckinley victory.
Hugh Henry, of Chester, offered the
following resolutions:
'While we recognize the wisdom of
the precedent which has heretofore
sent our delegates to national conven
tions without tying their hands with
positive instructions and would not
break the precedent now; we feel we
would be untrue representatives of
those who sent US here did we fail to
give voice to their convictions, there
fore be it
Resolued, That in the great apostle
of protection, William Mckinley of
Ohio, we recognize the first choice of
the Republicans of Vermont for pres
identlal candidate.
The resolution was adopted and
perfect pandemonium for Mckinley.
After other preliminary work the
following delegates at large were
chosen: Redfield Proctor, of Proctor:
DR.. III. D. Holton of Brattleboro; Col.
E. q. Smith of st. Adams; G. A.
Prouty of Newport. The following
are the alternates, James F. Pollard,
Chester; DR.. l.. r. Hubbard, Lyndon;
Col. M. F. Allen, Ferrisburgh; P. K.
Gleed of Morrisville.
SECOND DISTRICT.-The second dis
trict convention was held in the after
noon. The proceedings were short,
and without special incident or inter
est, the excitement having expended
itself largely in the forenoon. The
following delegates were selected: j.
w. Brock of Montpelier; Victor l.
Speare, Braintree. Alternates, Geo.
H. Blake of Barton; E. %. Lenard of

If the condition was measured by
the expressions heard at Montpelier,
as between Mr.. Stickney and Maj.
Circuit, as gubernatorial candidates,
there can be no reasonable doubt that
Mr.. Circuit will carry the convention
by three -fourths of the votes. While
nobody had word against Mr.. Stick
ney, it seems to be felt in almost all
sections that Mr.. Grout is the man. A
few papers are keeping up a little
clatter against him, but their fire is
feeble, and their ammunition spent.

SPEED OF THE MASSACHUSETTS,.

| The result of the steam trial of the
battleship Massachusetts is TO be re-
garded more in the light of a very
creditabIe showing by her builders
than as a remarkable speed achieve
ment. The contract requirement in
this respect was handsomely exceed
ed. but. on the other hand, even with
this notable excess, amounting to
more than knot, the speed of the
vessel is still considerably lower than
those of nearly all the recent foreign
battleships of her class. This state
ment, while in conflict with general
opinion, is perfectly true, despite the
extravagant assertions and claims
that burst forth SO extensively imme-
diately after the trial. It requires but
a slight acquaintance with the worlds
recent naval progress, or but a brief
scrutiny of authentic performance of
foreign battleships, to appreciate at
once the falsity and the puerility of
the claim that the Massachusetts is a
"record breaker ''unrivaled in
speed" Easiest of her class af1oat,"
etc. ~
AS matter of fact, the speed of this
vessel and her two sisters, the Indi-
ana and the Oregon, was Intentionally
put relatively low, in order that by
saving weight in machinery, more
weight could be given to guns and
armor. The happy result is that these
three admirable vessels are in battery
and protection unequalled by any for
eign vessel, built, building OF even de-
signed, while at the same time they
are capable of a speed which, while
below the standard now generally
adopted abroad for ships of their
class, IS quite sufficient for nearly all
exigencies that may arise In time of
war. -TrdUeIer.
