VERMONT ASPIRANT,S.

Senators Morrill, and Proctor and
Gen. Grout called at the White House
to pay their respects to the president
and lay before him the papers of such
candidates for office as they have
agreed to recommend. Judge Pow
ers is not in the city. There are not
many Vermont applicants for Office
outside of the State. The delegation
has asked for the appointment of
J. D. Denison of Randolph as minister
to Venezuela. This position was held
by Vermont men during the Cleve-
land and Harrison administrations,
and the State feels that it has some
thing like lien on it.
The other appointments recon-
mended are Col. j. G.. Foster of Der
by to be consul at Sherbrooke, Cana
da, and Gen. w. w. Henry of Burling-
ton to be consul at Montreal. Word
has been received from Frank C.Part-
ridge, who has been IN the Adiron
dacks for his health, that he is on the
road to recovery. This increases the
probability that he will receive an p
pointment as assistant secretary of
state.
There is a generous supply of can
didates for the local offices in the
State. The division of the customs
districts, which is provided for in the
sundry civil appropriation bill, will
doubtless go into effect. In the new
district known as the Memphremago
district, Col Mansur of Island Pond
will doubtless be collector, as there is
no other prominent candidate on the
east side. In the Burlington district
there are two candidates, ex-Collect-
or g. G. Benedict of the Burlington
Free Press, and COL Merrill of the re-
publican State committee The can
didates for district attorney are w. A.

TIE CREDIT OF MODERN
NATIONS.

The English national debt is $3,-
SOC, 900, 900 which is $S8 per head of
the population of the United King
dom. The interest bearing debt of
the United States is 5000, 600, 900, or $15
per capita of the inhabitants. This,
however, is exclusive of the obliga-
tions of the several States, counties
and cities which have debts of their
own. To cancel the national debt of
Holland would require 500 from each
of it's people; to pay that of France,
which is $4, 500, 200, 900, would require
s12O. In Sweden the debt per head is
S1s; in Belgium, $63; in Norway, only
81. Each of the States of the Ger
man empire has debt in addition to
the imperial debt. Austria, Russia
and Hungary are heavily involved;
so are Turkey, Spain, Italy and
Greece. OF the nations enjoying the

Then come Sweden and Belgium. The

Austria falling still further behind.
Italy, Turkey, Spain and Greece, and
other small States, are considered not
wholly solvent by investors.

a GAME TWO CAN PLAY At.

Those are no true friends of Canada
who are urging her to resent the
Dingley tariff by discriminating
against the products of the United
States.
President Mckinley is armed
with plenary powers to deal with this
kind of thing. IF he becomes con-
vinced that Canada is discriminating
against American products in her GUS
toms regulations he can proceed to
exclude Canadian products absolute
ly from our markets. Discrimination
is game which two can play at, and
in the long run the United States, be-
ing dozen times bigger and richer
and more powerful, is sure to win.
So our northern neighbors had bet
ter think twice before moving to re-
duce their duties on goods imported
from Great Britain and increase those
on goods imported from the United
States. For many years the intensely
loyal element among the colonists has
been making every effort, short of ac
tual discriminating legislation, to di-
vert Canada's trade from American
to British channels. What has been
the result? In 1882 Canada bought
from Great Britain goods valued at
$50, 100000, and from the United Stat
es goods valued at $48,O 10000 From
that day to this, in spite of everything
the loyalists could do, the sales of
British goods in Canada have been
shrinking, while the sales of Ameri
can goods have been increasing. In
1895 96 Canada's imports from Great
Britain had fallen to $32, 900, 900, while
her imports from the United States
we're valued at S5S, 900, 900.
The significance of this is obvious.
If the Canadian government discrim-
mates against American products by
hostile tariffs, it will sharply offend
its own people who for all these years
have, been buying fewer and fewer
British and more and more American
goods, and it will most certainly pro-
woke retaliation in very vigorous
form by the authorities in Washing
ton.
On the whole, can Canada afford
this?-Boston Journal.

The leading governments of Eu-
rope continue to strain the resourc
es of their respective peoples by
keeping themselves armed to the
teeth on land and sea. The extra
naval appropriation recently asked
for in German Reichstag was 10000,
600 marks, The naval estimate of
France for the current year is far in
excess of the past year, though the
ship building facilities of that coun-
try were not sufficient to complete
government orders. The sum just
asked for in the British Parliament
for the Navy is S1O9, 100, 90 as against
S1O9, 115, 900 for present year. Prov
vision is made for the enlistment of
over six thousand more men in the
service. Two large battleships, the
Mars and the Jupiter, have been de-
livered in advance of their contract
dates, and three others are to be com
pleted by fall. Besides these, sever
al smaller battleships and cruisers are
on the stocks. According to last
years annual statement ninety tor
pedo-boat destroyers were being
built, averaging in speed twenty
eight knots an hour, while three were
to reach from thirty two to thirty
three knots. There will be built for
the English naval service during the
present year 108 vessels of various
kinds, with an aggregate displace-
ment of 2Ss, 900 tons and about 8O0,-
600 horse power.

CRETE BLOCKADED.

The great powers of Europe have
at last carried out their threats and
have blockaded the coast of Crete.
Greece does not show any signs of
backing down and what the outcome
will be is hard to tell. England has
refused to allow her fleet to be used
in the blockade, but makes no objec-
tions to the other powers carrying it
on themselves. France is liable to
have to withdraw at any time as pub
lie opinion has more to do with fash
ioning the policy of that government
than the governments of Russia or
Germany. The Sultan can quietly
stand by and allow the powers to care
for him; he need not worry for fear
that he will loose any or his power or
territory, for the European govern
ments, under the claim of preventing
a great war, are doing everything
possible to for his interests.
The Turks are allowed to land pro-
visions for their troops, but the troops
of Greece are to be starved out SO as
and give the Turks chance to ami
hilate the Christians. The Great
Powers have notified the United
States, through their representatives
in Crete, and although this would not
have any effect on us in this particu-
lar case, it might make bad prece-
dent for US to acknowledge it, besides
it will afford this government
chance to show the foreign powers
how it looks to outsiders to see them
bully Greece, and it is to be hoped
that President Mckinley will not let
1t go by without vigorous protest.
There is no Justification legally for
the blockade there in time of peace
any more than there would be for
them to attempt to blockade New
York harbor. The Cretans, chris
tian people, appealed to Greece to
save them from the ravages of the
Turks, and Greece has responded to
their call. Now the European powers
are banded together and are taking
the part of the Turks against the
Christians.
IF the powers persist in protecting
the Turks while they slaughter the
Christians, Greece may declare war
against Turkey and this may bring on
the general war the powers claim to
be working SO hard to avoid. If an
attempt is made to land large force
of troops to expel the Greek army it
is likely that public opinion in France
will force the withdrawal of the
French fleet, and possibly Italy would
follow her example. Russia seems to
be at the bottom of the whole thing
and France is in it because of her
friendship for that country. Eng
land, according to Gladstone, is being
led along by Russia and Germany,
but she has gone as far as she can as
the feelings of the common people of
England controls, to great extent,
the foreign policy of the government.
Let us hope that they will finally force
the government to take active meas
ures to suppress the barbarous work
of the Sultan.

In times of disaster by rain and
foods, when great areas of the coun-
try in the vicinity of the great rivers
are devastated by water, there is
consolation in living SO near the top
of things that water cannot rise up
and reach US. The Vermonter, who
has quite rugged time of it during
the cold months of winter, is about as
happy and safe the year through as
any one on this broad continent, Let
him believe it and make the best of
circumstances.

Four Vermonters out of every five
voted for Mckinley, and they haye
hailed his incoming to the presidency
with much delight. They will be too
considerate to expect that either he
or congress can create at once con-
dition of prosperity such as was ex
experienced under the Harrison ad-
ministration. The tide has been run
ming out too long to come in at an ebb
flow at once. There is al
ready, and there will soon be more,
much that is encouraging. It remains
for US to do, work, plant, take hold
and do something and strive for bet
ter things. 1t is probable that under
no circumstances will the farmer see
as good times, in some ways, as he
saw even six years ago. He will new
er see tho high prices he saw in war
times. But he will see the day when
by industry and frugality he can sup
port himself and family, add little
to the value of his farm or to his sur
plus, and prosper in that degree
which assures comfort and success.

The six great Powers of Europe
in jumping down on little Greece and
must feel proud of their performance
driving her feet and soldiers away
from Crete, leaving a Christian pop
ulation to the mercy of the Moham-
medan Turks. The powers may call
it to their advantage to uphold
the wicked Sultan for time, but
there must be revulsion and revo-
-lution soon, which will adjust matters
on principle Of right. Somehow there
will be wrought out through the de-
crees of Providence. an endingwhich
will result to the good of mankind.

The Venezuelan affair has done much
toward creating a good feeling among
the South American republics for the
United States. The Venezuelan Her.
aid says: "The signing the Venuelan
treaty marks the beginning of the
end of a controversy that has drag
ged on for a half of century, and
that might have gone on for half of
a century more had not the United
States taken hand in it to good eff
feet" This article shows that the
people of that country appreciate the
stand that this country has taken in
their behalf. The same spirit is to
seen among nearly all the republics
south of us; they realize that the
United States in friend to them, and
a friend that will never take advan-
tage of their weakness, but will al
ways stand up for them, to the ex-
tent of using force if need be, when
they are being unjustly wronged.

IF there is any one thing more than
another which claims respectability,
but tends to harm and demOrallze
who read, it is the distribution, wher-
ever it can be sold, of the Sunday
newspaper. 1t is made the recepta-
Gle of about all the filth, garbage and
corrupt matter of the week. 1t is a
violation, in itself, of the law relating
to the Sabbath and it's tendency is to
poison the minds of all who read it.
No publication is worth anything as a
teacher of morals or champion of
law, which is Sabbath breaker it
self. The Sunday newspaper ought
to be spurned by everybody who has
any regard for the good of men.
There is no excuse for the Sunday
paper.

Defeats for the Spaniards in Cuba
are following each other with omi-
nous rapidity. All the recent fights
in the island appear to have been Gu
ban victories. 1t is clear that the sit
uation for Spain is steadily growing
worse. The Cubans control more
territory than they did year ago,
and are apparently gaining ground.
Nor is there any probability that
Spain's position will improve. The
rebellion in the Philippines and the
threatened trouble at home prevent
her from sending any more troops to
Cuba. There is chance that some of
the troops now in Cuba will have to
be withdrawn for service against the
other rebels. The outlook for inde-
pendence for Gomez's countrymen
grows brighter as time passes.

Much indignation is felt by the

over the defeat of the bill to make
the state less attractive to seekers
after quick and easy divorce. The
pre- sent law, as is wel-known, re-
quires residence of only go days as
a preliminary 70 action for divorce
on statutory grounds, and it was pro-
posed in the legislature recently ad
journed to lengthen the term of resi-
denee. The bill passed the house
nearly unanimously, but was quietly
smothered in the senate; and the
charge has been made that hotel
keepers and lawyers raised fund of
s14, 900 to bring this about. The Ro-
man Catholic Bishop, Shaneley, now
comes out in ringing letter, declaring
