Senator Proctor is credited with pre-
dieting Republican plurality OF 3d.
900 at next Tuesdays election. The
Senator is always conservative in max
ing estimates of this character so we
may expect to see these figures increas-
ed rather than diminished by the re-
turns. Here is what the Senator says;
"The usual republican majority is a
bout 10000. This year / am confident
we will carry the state 10000. base
this prediction on the thorough knowl-
edge of the political conditions in Yer
mont. The farmers have informed
themselves on the financial question
and they know that free silver will add
nothing to their prosperity. Some Of
them were affected by the craze at first,
but an educational campaign has had
its influence.
"The result in Vermont will show

are not to be taken in by quack pan
acea."

Vermont's voice in next Tuesdays
election will be heard all over the
Union and it's the only time that it
will be. In November it is a fore
gone conclusion. Everybody knows
that it will vote for Mckinley and as
to the majority it will not matter
then. But the September vote, as
showing the trend of public senti-
ment, will be invaluable to the win
ming party. What we mean by the
winning party is this: Should the
Republican majority fall below the
normal vote of presidential years it
would be victory for the free silver,
free trade party and would be pro-
claimed as such from the house tops
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. On the other hand if there
should be an increase, and the larger
the better, the cause of honest money
and chance to earn it would be i'm
measurely strengthened. Hence the

The following story is vouched for
by a Yale professor: Several years
ago a young colored student was admit
ted into the freshman class at Yale.
He was assigned in the class rooms
seat next to the son of a prominent
New York business man, whom we
may call for convenience Smith. Now
young Smith did not relish the idea Of
sitting by ''nigger," as he put it, 50
he wrote to his father. complaining of
the indignity. Mr.. Smith, the elder,
taking the same view, at once wrote an
angry epistle to the faculty demanding
that his son be relieved Immediately
from close association with one of an
inferior race The professors were
puzzled, but one of them, with long ex-
perience in class work, undertook to
answer the letter satisfactorily. He
informed Mr.. Smith most politely that
no present interference was possible,
but that in a few weeks, when the
classes were rearranged and graded, he
could assure HIM that the desired
change would certainly be made. Mr.
Smith was satisfied with this assurance
young Smith was appeased, and the
ar-seeing professor had no difficulty
whatever in keeping his word, for, b,
the time the class was graded, tn,

How They Expect to Gain Possession Of
the Throne of France.
The prominent French papers have
of late been devoting much space to
Prince Napoleon and the Due Orleans,
the pretenders to the throne Of France.
The former has written an open letter

grounds of the "pacte social conclu

pact concluded in olden times between
France and his forefathers. The prince
desires only ratification Of this COM

are making, the Figaro says that of the

Senator Stewart of Nevada is a
mouthy advocate of the free coinage
of silver, yet on the 18th day of June
1874, about l6 months after the
"crime of '73" that these fellows
have SO much to say about, he made
a strong speech in the Senate advo-
eating the gold standard, and among
other things insisted that the question
was
"Whether the laboring man
is entitled to have gold dol
lar if he earns it, or whether
we are going to cheat him
with something else."
Now what has wrought this great
change in this Senator Only this !:
Since this speech was made silver has
declined enormously and he being a
large silver mine owner is the loser
and under this changed condition he
is now willing to cheat the laborer
"with something else" as the profits
of the cheating will 60 into his and
