Timely Topics

MEAT CHOPPERS, BIRD
CAGES AND RAIN
GAUGES.

Before Whitelaw Reid be-
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
Suicide?" or did she kill him
for lover" or Twill the Presi-
dent sign it," etc.
The whole paper was speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
"Tm getting awful tired of

CONGRESS AND HAMMOND.

After releasing DR.. Jameson it is
hardly likely that President Kruger
will carry out the sentence of death
upon John FL. Hammond and the
other Uitlanders who invited Jmieson
to overturn the government of the
Transvaal. The friendly offices of
congress will be Of little avail in miti-
eating the fate of the American min
ing engineer. If the Boer president
has made up his mind to pardon him,
the resolutions introduced by Senator
Stewart and Congressman Mahany
will be superfuous. If the capital
penalty is insisted on, Hammond will
share the fate of his colleagues de-
spite any efforts made by congress to
save him.
American citizens who conspire
against the government of the land
where they reside are entitled to
full and fair trial. IF there is any sus
picionj that they have not had the
same privileges accorded to every for
eigner in this country, it is the duty
of congress to investigate. But if,
after every opportunity to prove his
limo cence an American is condemned
by legal tribunal, congress has no
right to interfere with its verdict,
even though death sentence is i'm
posed.
When the Chicago anarchists were
sentenced to be hung the people of
the United States would have surely
resented any request from foreign
power for their pardon. Mr.. Ham
mond, with others, both American
and Englishmen, was engaged in a
reasonable conspiracy against the
Boer government. Whatever may
have been the provocation, the factis
clearly established by his own confess
sion. Up to the present time the
United States is the only nation that
has failed to punish treason with
death.

The PASSION PLAY OF ODER
AMMERGAU.

This wonderful play, which COM
memorates the sad events in the clos
ing days in the life of the Saviour, is
to the people of Oberammergau one
of the most sacred religious observ
ance. The history of the Passion
Play is known to most reading people,
but few words taken from Canon
Farrar may not prove amiss:-
SIN 1858, during the ravages of a
plague, when death took "a inhabit
ants from this little hamlet in one
month, the heart stricken inhabitants
met in their church and made vow
to the Lord, if the plague is staid they
would sacredly perform the Passion
Play each tenth year. The plague
was Immediately stayed. Not another
death occurred"
This vow is sacredly kept to this
day, and in 1890 Rev. j. J. Lewis with
many others attended it's presentation
and obtained views of it's many seen
es and tab1eaux, besides ikenesses of
those who take the leading parts. His
lecture is explanatory of the country,
its people, their homes and lives, and
the leading features of the play itself.
His presentation Of this lecture has
received the highest encomiums from
the leading ministers of all denomina-
tions of the East, where it has been
presented over 1900 times. 1t will be
given at Barton Village, on the even
ing of May %.

An EXPLANATION.

Considerable is being said in various
! places in explanation of the course
the recent convention took in endors-
ing Mckinley. So far as we could OBJ
serve the feeling was not at all antag-
onistic to Mr.. Reed, but it was an ex-
preston of feeling as between him
and Mr.. Mckinley, and the result
plainly showed that the Ohio man was
the choice of the convention, on ac-
count of what he was supposed most
to represent : the protection senti
ment. No subject seemed more to in
terest the convention than protection,
and the cheers for that sentiment were
only less than those for the supposed
champion of protection, Mckinley.
The conditions of the times are such
that every mans attention is turned
to something which promises i'm
provement. Vermont has probably
withstood the effects of the hard
times as we'll as any state in the
Union, but for some months past the
times have been growing harder and
harder, and every man is under the
influence of the depression. If the
matter of the last reduction of the
tariff is looked at in detail it is very
easy to see that the Wilson German
tariff was aimed specially at this sec
ton of the country ca thing which
might be said of every section) and
that we are suffering in our agricul
tural, lumber, quarrying and other
interests from the cut in the tariff.
This not only curtailed manufacture
ing in the New England cities, there
by diminishing our markets, but it
permitted our Canadian neighbors to
send in their products to help glut an
already diminished market.
The word "McKinley' stands in the
mind of the average man as the en-
bodiment of better times and of pros
perity. 1t represents about that in
the things of prosperity which the
Stars and Stripes represent in patriot
ism. Hence it has required no argu-
ment, no process of reasoning or con-
version to carry men along into the
Mckinley thought. The step from
what they know to be an unfortunate
condition of things to what they be-
lieve will be better in the Mckinley
Republican era, which they hope will
soon dawn upon the country, has
been natural and easy. Mr. Reed
has no enemies in Vermont and has a
host Of friends. Under ordinary cir
cumstances he would have been the
first choice of about all her voters.

s. A Paradice of the Utah republi-

silver republicans of Utah, Colorado,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Neva-

not be in the slightest degree impeded
