The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1897-06-16
@attbmam 4 SuurnaI,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1897.
ARTHUR ROPES, General Editor.

THE Bryanites are flinging epithets
at the Palmer and Cleveland Democrats
with an abandon which shows that
the gods are getting ready to destroy
the popocratic bosses. If the fight on
this line continues, the split of 1896 will
be widened to yawning chasm in 1900
Republicans, Of course, are not finding
fault with these conditions. Their
victory three years hence promises to
be easier and bigger than it was last
NoYemher.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1897-06-16

THE attempts of some of the Demo-
cratic Senators to explain that they are
not protectionists, although they have
voted for protection for the products of
their states, have been more or less
ludicrous. Senator McEnery, of Lousi-
ana, is the only one of them who has
come out squarely for protection, al
though number of them have voted
for it in particular schedules. He said
in reply to the taunts of Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, and Vest, considering

HITS HERE AND THERE.
(By Bat n. Ball.)

Yesterday was Bargain Day at
League Park.
Snake" sctley pitched five. innings
for Reading and that let him out.
Heidrick and Kelley lifted the sphere
over the centre field fence i'll the first
game.
The Brooms are certainly worth going
to out 10 see in their improved form OF
playing.
vlau says that the Norfolk press gan.;
nre the best coaching reporters in the
Atlantic League.
Weddisc made a circus catch of a hot
one from Westlake's bat The big fcl-
low got II with his bare hand.
The first game had enough OF the
heart aSitatng elements about It to
suit the most rabd enthusiasts
Hooks work was exceedingly brilliant
yesterday ana vast sight different
than that Of the other TWO games.
Jesse TannGhill is playing a great
outiicld for P!ttsburl; ana is hitting the
ball with most ui the big league battcrs.
Lcahy's catch Of TIamburgs fly to
left field after Il long run was only one
Of the sensational features OF the first
game.
The frs; game was replctc with SEN
sational plays by both teams. The fans
certainly got the full worth of their
money.

A Sandstorm at Sea.

The Royal Mail steamship Volta,
which has arrived at Liverpool, reports
that when between Cape BlancO and
Cape Verde, assandstorm was expert
enced which lasted for two days. The
sand had been carried from the des-
erts of Northwest Africa, and was so
thick that it was like n mist on the
sea. The sun was partially obcured,
and soundings had to be taken. The
vessel from stem to stern was COW
cred with sand of a red color, and
looked as If she had been painted red.
There were also flocks Of birds which
had been blown from the land, and
these settled on the ship from time to
time. The sand had troublesome ef-
feet on the crew and the passengers,
who could scarcely remain any time
on deck without being seized with vi
olent sneezing.-Westmins Gazette.

Republican Management.

Republican craftsmanship Of the
Boss order is we'll illustrated in the
past two years in Pennsylvania. In
January, 1895, when Governor Patti
son retired, there was balance OF
100000 in the State Treasury in
November next there will be deficit
of $4,ooo,ooo. The Republican AS
sembly in 1895 created sixty new
State Offices, and increased the already
large salaries attached to number
of old offices. Now Auditor Genera
Myhn is urging that the public schoo
appropriation be cut down 81, ,ooo, o,ooc
to help the State Treasury out of thu
threatened bankruptcy.-AIlentoao'
Democrat.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-06-24
Promised Reforms,

The Republican party is incapable.
1t is vicious. 1t is willfully derelict
1t makes a parade Of reform, its plat
forms thus acknowledging the necess-
ity for betterment. But it sends men
to represent it OF such astounding dis
honesty that they trample upon the
pledges on the strength Of which they
were chosen.
The bill to protect the free exercise
of the suffrage at elections and to pro-
hibit official interference has been so
amended in conference committee as
TO make it a mockery. There is no
protection in it for the voter, nor any
discussion for the political "heeler."
The bill to prevent assessments of
public officials has been similarly
emasculated and rendered void of use
to the public and void of hindrance
or of intimidation to spoilsmen.
Even the Poll Tax Reform bill,
originally SO drawn as to prevent the
! purchase of proxy tax receipts, has
been SO fixed in conference as to per
| petuate the iniquity which it was pro-
posed to prevent. Taxes may be
paid in bulk on bulk orders contain
ing the names of the parties fol
whom tax receipts are desired. This
will make this form of bribery and
rascality little more troublesome In
detail, bpt more effective in result.
This is the outcome OF three years
of party consideration and of siA
months of incubation in a Legislative
body in which the Republicans are ir
majority of over two-thirds. They
have had nothing to hinder them ex
cept their own depravity.-Es.

Our Legal Holidays.

The new Holiday bill, which has
been passed by both branches of the
Legislature, and which will doubtless
meet with the prompt approval of the
Governor, makes the following changes
in the existing law:
February IL, Lincoln's birthday, is
made legal holiday for the first time.
The third Tuesday of February,
election day, is made a full holiday
instead of half-holiday, as was pro-
vided by the Act of Assembly of May
20, 1898.
Whenever May 80, Memorial day,
shall occur on Sunday, the following
day, Monday, is to be observed as the
legal holiday, instead Of the preced.
ing day, Saturday, as was the case
heretofore.
The first Monday of September is
designated as Labor day, instead o
the first Saturday OF September, a.
was the case under the Act of Assem-
bly, of May 81, 1898.
The effect of these modification
will be to do away with the confusion
heretofore existing as to several of til,
holidays, and to align Pennsylvani;
with the other States in the Observance
of Memorial and Labor days-tw'
innovations which will be hailed a
most desirable in every quarter Of tn
State.

The Average Life of Wheel.

"What is the average life of n
wheel?" is question often asked. The
bicycle, although an extremely delicate
piece of mechanism, will last for many
years, even though its first owner may
keep it only season, If it receives but
ordinary care. But long life for "A
wheel can only be assured by careful
attention. The cyclist who wipes his
or her bicycle on returning from every
spin, and cleans 1t, or has it cleaned
thoroughly, say once month, and lub'
rlcates it properly at stated intervals,
will find that the machine will not only
last longer, but the rider will derive
more benefit from its use and expert
ence fewer mishaps than would be the
case If the machine be left to take care
of itself.

Danger In Early Rising.

Until now people have been content
to accept the theory that early rising
in conjunction, of course, with cor
respondingly early habit of going to
bed-is conducive to health. But this
belief, like many others, has been shat
tered by the latest scientific research.

Lee May Be Made President

Tie University of Virginia has
never had president, the chairman
of the faculty discharging the duties of
that Office. But the growth Of the
institution has made the appointment
of a president desirable, and such an
officer will probably be elected at the
coming commencement in une. NO
names have been suggested, except
that Richmond newspaper reported
that General Lee, now consul general
at Havana, would be sounded as to
whether he would accept the post. 1t

authority for this statement, and II
cannot be learned that he is even
being considered in connection with
tine office.-Balhm0re SHn.
