There are few persons in town
who think they are smart, and
when the newspaper takes sides
upon questions pertaining to the
public welfare, and contrary TO the
views held by themselves, seek TO
have those whose private interests
may be opposed, boycott the paper,
or .scuss out the editor" or do
some other meanness, as a retalia-
tory measure. This class, as a
rule, do not patronize the news
paper themselves, and if listened
40, would wipe ont all law. They
would establish a censorship for
The press, and an anarchy, pure
and simple. They would seek TO
deprive man Of the means of
livelihood for himself and family,
no matter what other merits he
might possess, for just simply OPP
posing a measure which they
would endorse, or advocating
measure which they would oppose.
A case is IN mind where such in
fluence was brought to bear upon
a certain merchant IN town, and
The TINES was the subject, of their
unrest. But they failed, for the
merchant said, eff the editor had
not the courage TO express his
opinion, evon though my business
may be d ,maged thereby, l would
consider his paper very poor ex-
cuse, and could not expect it to be
valuable to me or the community,
IN the discussion of other and per-
haps more weighty questions. l
helieve he has the right to his
.sls:nions, and d-n man who
won't express them" For this
manly stand in favor of free
speech and an untrammeled press,
this citizen has shown the best
qualities of citizenship. He un.
derstands and appreciates the fact
that a newspaper may please a
part Of the people all the time, all
he people some Of the time, but
not all the people all the time, and
that to boycott it when it does not
please is but TO cripple it when it
does please. The business of a
newspaper should not depend
upon its editorial utterances taken
separately, but mon its general
policy. If in the main, a news
paper is found to be free from
undue Influences, honest and sim
cere in its utterances, with no dis.
position 10 injure an innocent man
or thing, but at all times to be
democratic in submission of the
will OF the majority when public
interest are at stake, and with en-.
crgy and characteristic vim cham.
pions such reforms as it thinks to
the best interest of the community
as whole-praising the good and
exposing the evil-then upon lis
general character it deserves your
continuous and unstinted support.
The TINES is just that kind of a
paper, and he is very poor sort of
man who would withdraw his
patronage from such paper be-
cause he does not agree with it
upon every proposition; or in
other words, dlssents from its opin.
ION upon a single proposition.
The Times may be disqualified in
this case. but we believe the re.
fusal of this merchant TO be infiu.
enced by such methods, is worthy
of public notice and emulation.

Turkey and Greece.

The Sultan Dehes the Powers Until
Russia Shows Her Hand and says
Greece Must Not he Crushed.
The situation in the war between Greece
and Turkey has shown several kaleidosco-
pic changes during the past week. Last
week closed with Greece crying "enough,"
and asking the European Powers to inter-
vene and name the terms of settlement.
This week opened with Turkey Haunting
defiance in the face of Europe, demanding
the abrogation of the treaty of Berlin, the
cession to her of Thessaly, and the pay
ment of cash indemnity of S44 100000,
proportionately one of the largest ever ex-
acted. Meantime Turkey refused to grant
an armistce, continued the war and oc-
cupied the Greek fortified city of Domokos
after a bloody battle, in which there was
heavy loss on both sides. Tuesday there
was a sudden change in the attitude
of Turkey. Russia had quietly shown her
hand.an told the Sultan that hostilities
must cease, an armistice must be arranged,
and that no more Greek territory could be
seized. At noon that day orders were tel
egraphed to Edhem Pasha, the Turkish
commander-in-chief, to stop hostilities.
This is, in substance, the point which the
proceedings have now reached, and it re-
mains to be seen what terms of peace Tur-
keyiwill be allowed to force upon Greece.
The latest dispatches have it that the
Greeks are ready to make their final stand,
if Turkey continues hostilities at Their
mopyle and Malos.
This morning comes the announcement
that an armistice of II days has been ar
ranged between the Turkish and Greek

Close friends of the Mckinley admins
tration in Washington and New York de-
clare that it must submit in silence for
some time to come to the criticisms that
have recently been directed against it, con-
fident in the belief that a complete vindi-
cation will be realized at last. They say
that nearly every administration that has
had a consistent but difficult policy has
been obliged to pass through this same ex-
perience. Even Lincoln in the dark days
of the civil war was denounced because he
did not do certain things before the time
was ripe for them to be done. To the
current criticisms no reply can be made at
present, but close friends of the admins
tration assert that time will demonstrate
how wisely it has made its plans and how
far sighted it is. All its energies are now
directed to having tariff bill passed by
Congress. Until that is accomplished 9TH
er things must wait. When that is accom-
plished its critics will be confounded by the
discovery that during all the time of wait
ing the administration has been quietly
but wisely preparing for action in other di-
rections.

Note of Distress from Spain.

A Madrid despatch of the 10th says
that at meeting of liberal senators and
deputies today Senor Sagasta, former pre-
mier, made an important speech, in the
course of which he said: 1--WE have 200,-
600 troops in Cuba, but we are not even
masters of the territory trodden by our
soldiers. At the same moment Carlism
is organizing itself in the peninsula and
menaces us with a new war, thanks to the
immunity it enjoys, while the seeds of sep
aratsm are terminating in some of the
provinces. The picture could not be
gloomier. We have war in Cuba and in
the Philippines, and we have attempts at
civil war at home. The government is not
responsible for them, but it is unfortunate
in its administration. Reforms in Cuba
will not solve the Cuban problem"

Gov. Black of New York signed last
Saturday the so-called Lexow civil-service
bill, the effect of which will be to destroy
the reform system of that state as it has
been established under the protection of
the new state constitution. Civil-service
commissioners, it is provided, shall examine
candidates for Office only for so per cent
ratings, while heads of departments may
examine as to practicability and rate the
other 80 per cent. That is to say, the
commissioners shall examine and certify
to the fitness of candidates in some re-
spects, and the appointing power shall ex-
anime them as to fitness in other respects.
Thus the way is cleared for the appointing
power to choose to suit himself, as under
the.spoils regime.
In signing the bill Gov. Black took the
very unusual and undignifed course of at
taching a memorandum, in which he at
tackled the reformers, Carl Schurz among
them, who appeared before the governor to
protest against his approval of the measure.
In this memorandum the men who have ap-
proved the bill are held up to derision as
composed mainly of the disappointed and
the unsuccessful, aided now and then by
some decrepit figure who, having once en-
joyed the rewards and betrayed the con-
fidence of his party is now anxious to eX-
plain and Justify that betrayal" Dorman
B. Eaton characterizes the governors Ian
guage as slanderous and unworthy the
dignity of the executive. He also says
that test case to test the validity of the
law will be made up without delay.

80 Days in Jail for a Rich Broker.

Elverton r. Chapman of New York, a
wealthy sugar broker, began on Monday to
serve a sentence of so days Imprisonment
in Jail at Washington, D. c., for refusal to
answer certain questions put to him in the
course of the investigation by a committee
of the Senate into the charges that senators
had used their official knowledge to specu-
late in sugar trust stock during the passage
of the Wilson tariff bill in 1894. He based
his refusal on the ground that he should
not be compelled to disclose the business
of his customers. Every effort was made
to save Chapman from punishment. The
fight lasted nearly three years, and ended
finally on April 10 in the supreme court of
the United States. Chief Justice Fuller
wrote the opinion, holding that the Senate
had not exceeded its authority and that its
line of examination was proper.
Chapman's case is quoted as an illustra-
tion of the fact that our laws know no dis
tinction between the rich and the poor.
This would be more nearly true were it not
the fact that Chapman is allowed to have
special furniture in his cell, that he has an
adjoining cell for an Office, and that he has
food sent to him from a Washington hotel.

According to a Tacoma, Wash, despatch,
cattlemen from the corn states in the Mis-
sissippi valley have been buying beef cattle
in Washington, Idaho and Oregon during
the past winter and spring in such great
numbers that the ranges of the Northwest
have been cleared Of four-ifths of their
beef supply. The more experienced cattle
men'a officers of the railways are trying
to. call halt by telling cattle raisers that
they will lose money in the end by selling
their entire herds, since beef must COM
mand very high prices before the coming
fall, and already the herds are so depleted
thatIthey cannot be replenshed for several
years. 6. Thousands of cattle have been
bought for shipment to Montana and Da-
kota ranges, and the prices of beef and
mutton have been going up rapidly. If
this story is true it may mean that the
farmers.and cattle raisers of the East are to
have chance again.

A:correspondent of the Louisville Cour-
ier- journal finds the situation not alto
gether black and hopeless in the flood
stricken district in the great Yazoo-Mis-
sissippi delta. The water, he says, should
be off the farmlands by this time, and
farm operations are right in the wake of
the receding flood, even to dropping the
cotton-seed in the mud If the water has
borne away certain treasure of the dwell
ers in the valley, it has left them some
thing in its place Over the entire bottom
lands of this region there have been spread
an inch or two of river sediment, which
is the most powerful fertilizer known.
With a good season and not too early
frosts, it is not yet too late to raise crop,
and, if it meets with no setbacks, it will
be the largest ever known. Already hope
is succeeding depression, and lands which
last year produced one bale of cotton to the
acre are now expected to produce a bale
and half. This will not bring back the
ruined houses and drowned cattle, but it is
an illustration over again of the old saying
that "lhere is no great loss without some
small gain"

Ex-State's Attorney Jones of Rutland
Found Guilty.

The commission composed of ex-Lieut.-
Gov. Geo. n. Dale of Island Pond. John
H. Watson of Bradford and John Young
of Newport have filed with the clerk of
the supreme court their report in the case
of Joseph G. Jones of Rutland, eX-state's
attorney for Rutland county, against whom
disbarment proceedings were brought by
Judge Rowell, charging Jones with de-
ceiving the court in regard to liquor pro-
ceedings in Rutland county in the fall of
1896, when Jones was states attorney.
The committee finds Jones guilty of the
charges made; that in the letter he wrote
to Judge Rowell asking for certificate on
which to collect his salary, he gave the
Judge a false report in regard to proceed
ings in prosecutions named, claiming that
he had carried out the instructions of Judge
Rowell, when, in fact, he had not. The
proceedings referred to were suits to col
lect forfeited bail in liquor cases. The
case has aroused more attention in this
state than anything of similar nature for
many years and has been fought out by
the best counsel obtainable. The result
will be to make the enforcement of the
Vermont prohibitory law more rigid than
ever before. 1t is in effect a declaration to
the states attorneys that they must do
their duty or their salaries will not be
paid.

the American liner St. Paul. He had
with him the document known as the log of
the Mayhower, which was entrusted to his
keeping by the archbishop of Canterbury
for transmission to the governor of Massa-
chusetts. On his arrival at his home in
Wilmington, Del, Mr.. Bayard placed the
valuable document in a safe-deposit vault
for safe keeping until it is given into Gov.
Wolcott's possession. May 20 has been
fixed as the date for the formal presenta-
