Four banks closed their doors in New
Orleans week before last. It was found
that $500, 900 had been squandered in
one of them. 1t is probable that one
of the greatest objections the bankers
have to a change in the system is the
rottenness that may be disclosed in
many Of them.

goes: We said in eff ct that it will be

coinage the present administration is
giving us. Any objections to such talk

VERMONT ACADEMY.

After beating the University of Vermont
by q score of 50 and pounding the crack
pitcher Dinsmore for II hits, Bates College
had to work hard to beat Vermont Academy
Thursday and could barely get eight hits off
of FoN's magnificent delivery. For six inn
lngs all that Bates could do was to get one
run OH an error and make four weak hits.
Up to the seventh INNING ". A. played splen-
did ball but in the last of the seventh aided by
some bad errors and good hitting Bates made
six runs and the game was won. Vermont
Academy was very weak at the bat making
only three hits. Had the team batted in its
usual form it is safe to say that the score
would have been far different. Bates played
star fielding game, Hinkley at short making
two beautiful plays and Duglass at second
doing fine work. Pulsifer's work in the box
was of the highest order, allowing but three
hits and striking out II men. For V. A. Fox
pitched wonderful game and that too with
an arm SO lame that he could hardly lift it,
while Whittemore played his usual star game
behind the bat. Brooks made two star catches
in left that were good for three base hits until
he took them in way out on the edge of the
bank. AT the rate V. A. is playing ball now
it is safe to say it will have splendid record
at the end of the season. The summary of
the game is as follows:
Earned runs, Bates 3; three base hits,
Quinn, Pulsifer; bases stolen, Gerrish, Dug
lass 2, Richardson 2, Upham l, Brooks / (;
base on balls by Pulsifer l.; struck out,
by Pulsifer IL, by Fox 6. Time of game two
hours. Umpire. Prof. Newell; scorer, NJ. p.

The People Want Stickney.

The Randolph Herald and News sup
ports w. w. Stickney for governor in a
we'll written editorial After giving its
reasons for believing that both Stickney
and Grout are men well fitted for the posi-
tion to which they aspire, the Herald says
While it is true that no deep interest is
shown by the party, yet it has not escaped
our observation that the party leaders are
for Grout almost to man, while Mr..
Stickney's supporters are found largely
among the rank and file. This solid array
of ''leaders" behind Grout, taken in con-
nection with recent political history in
Vermont, is not pleasant sight to con-
siderable number of voters. Mr.. Grout
has been ON the ''eligible" list for some
years. He might have been nominated in
1892, but he supported Fuller against a
brother farmer, Fletcher. 1t is significant
that Fuller's friends are for Grout. Other
things Justify the oft-cxpressed opinion
that the Grout .'slaten was made up by the
bosses several years ago. Mr.. Grout
doubtless has many personal and Grand
Army friends who are not to be blamed for
supporting him.
Now Mr.. Grout may be the best quail
fled of any man in Vermont for this office,
but the people rightly object to him as a
candidate Of the ''ring." They do not like
cut-and-dried politics, made up to order
for them, years in advance. This is not
their ideal Of government for Vermont
Accordingly, there were year ago mutter-
ings of discomfort with the Grout plan. A
leader was wanted to antagonize it. A fiji
one was found in the person of Mr.. Stick
ney. The announcement of his candidacy
threw the politicians into CONSERVATION
''Oh, he is good man, but let him wait
his turn they said. Now this ''turn'
business is just what the people object to
and when Grout's supporters refer to it a:
, they usually do it shows how different arr
their ideas. We do not believe that the
Republicans of Vermont want to see tn,

believe they are right, too. Mr.. Stickne,

considered prospective candidate for fou
years past, but the bosses look upon hin
as an interloper. He will not be wavet

KipIing a Chump.

Kudyard Kipling shows up to very poor
advantage in his legal proceedings against
his belligerent brother-in-law. The fact
that he took such proceedings at all shows
that he is poor creature. There are few
men in this world who have not been
threatened with licking, but only mi
croscopic number ever apply to the law for
protection. AS rule, it's only chump
that would do SO. And Kipling's chicken
hearted appeal to justice Of the peace
completes and finishes the evidence al
ready ample-that he is chump of the
first water. He hasn't the spirit of true
born Vermonter. He is just chump,-

Franklin Muir, an employe of this office. The
dog in this story is IL years old and is a
spaniel named "Sam,' owned by j. H. Hol-

comrades and as the boy carries paper
route and delivers about 150 copies OF the

At some of the houses the paper has to be put

and it is only where the paper is leftupon the

work. There are several of these places

rides along the street, accompanied by the

For long time the establishment known
as the line house, situated partly in Ver-
mont, in the town of Stamford, and the
other part in Massachusetts has been an
eye sore to the people in North Adams and
surrounding towns.
The officers of the law took hacks and
arrived near the house about midnight last
Saturday. Every avenue of approach or
exit was securely guarded when the Ver-
mont officers approached and raped for
admittance. They were admitted and for
moment or two the inmates were sur
prised as they did not know the Vermont
were captured in the house.
The proprietor of the house, Thomas
Goodwin and his ostensible bar keeper,
were arrested and put under 800 bail
The remainder of the people in the house
were discharged and upon going into an
adjoining room were arrested by the Mass
achusetts officers for disorderly conduct,
taken to North Adams and locked up in
jail for future trial.
Over 800 worth of liquors of various
kinds were found on the Vermont side, in
cluding 5000 worth of champagne. The
officers returned to Bennington Sunday by
team and it is hoped that the state line
house will be closed for the present.
