State Politics.

Gen. Mccullough is candidate for
state senator from Bennington
county. He intends to 60 to Mont
pelier and get acquainted with Yer
monters, whom he undoubtedly
wishes to govern four years hence.
He will need to look out for Col. F.
D. Proctor and Gen. W. S. Webb
North Troy Palladium.
Vermont's gubernat orial campaign
OF 1902 is some distance hence. but
the announcement that General
J. G. Mccullough is to 60 to the
legislature will be accepted by many
as an indication that he still has his
eye on the governorship. Col. Flether
Proctor is already being considered
in that connection, and with Col. w.
Seward Webb as a promising posi-
bility and several dark horses in
training, the next contest among the
gubernatorial aspirants on the west
side"promises to be sufficiently lively
and uncertain to satisfy the most
radical and obdurate slate-smash-
ers.-[ Burlington Free Press.
T. W. Moloney, the bright and
level-headed lawyer OF the Marble
City, was nominated at Burlington,
Wednesday, by the democrats OF
Vermont TO be their standard. bearer
during the coming compaign. Mr..
Maloney in his professional career
has often taken case which con-
tanned hardly forlorn hope, but by
energy, perseverance and skilled ma
nipulation of every point, brought
victory out OF what seemed certain
defeat. But we don't remember of a
harder case to fight. if he fights it to
victory, than the one he has upon his
hands now. We can't see yet upon
what grounds he is going to make
his fight. The platform which the
democratic party adopted is mostly
handicap. The plank referring 20
mileage books is all right, and would
strengthen any republican platform
The one referring to William Jennings
Bryan is all right also, perhaps, but
is there democrat in Vermont toda Y
who would want to see William Jen
niugs Bryan and William Mckinley
change places? We don't think so.-

as follows Lieutenant governor, A.

tor, Richard D. Preble OF Shoreham. The
only contest was for lieutenant govern
or, George B. Davis OF Danvile being
urged for the place and receiving 103
votes to 1876 for Mr.. Olmstead.
The state committee was appointed in
the afternoon and it consisted OF these

After the committee had been elected
the gubernatorial candidate, Thomas w.
Maloney, was escorted before the con-
vention and addressed them. Mr.. Molo-
ney thanked the convention in most feel
ing terms for the honor conferred on him
and expressed his determination to up
hold the democratic principles, first, last
and always.
Mr.. Moloney was followed by George
Fred Williams, who delivered another
eloquent appeal to the democrats OF Yer

help elect a democratic president.

tons were held in the afternoon. the first

would be necessary in order to select
a library of volumes involving the
expenditure of comparatively
small sum of money. The writer
was privileged to look over some of
these lists and was surprised at the
amount good reading matter COW
ering a wide variety of subjects that
has been made. From 100 to $50
volumes is about the average number
comprising these initial libraries.
Whoever has attempted to make up
a list OF the lone hundred best
books" may imagine the labor and
thought and knowledge requisite in
the performance OF such work.
The state with characteristic gen.
crosby when the best of brains and
intelligence are required provided
that no member OF the state board
of library commissioners shall re-
ceive any compensation for service
rendered, but did arrange for the ex.
penditure on the part of the board of
a small sum to meet necessary" ex.
penses, not to exceed $500 for the
entire board in any one year. We
are surprised that so much was done
to make the work of the board ef-
fective. As the commissioners can.
not receive anything more substan-
tial the least the state can do is to
assure the members thereof that
their work is appreciated, for the
CALIFORNIAN doubts if any law en-
acted in 1894 has borne better fruit
as to quality or more as to quantity.

The Man Behind the Gun.

There is opportunity for no end Of
moralizing in this man.behind- the
gun business. When Captain Mahan
was entertained in England at a
naval dinner, the speech of the even
ing, says the London Spectator, was
admitted by all to have been made
by the American officer. He reminded
his hearers that strategy, and armor,
and new types OF gun, and scientific
lodges, and all the rest were very
good things, but in the last resort
what really mattered was the man
behind the gun. That was true in
the old wars, and has been proved
true again, both at Manila and San
tiago. Straight shooting is, after all,
what wins any battle. AS in war the
most deadly patent shell, fired from
the newest and most expensive and
most scientific OF guns, is no better
than an old round shot fired from a
gun of Revolutionary days If it drops
in the water and does not strike the
enemy, so the best equipped man as
to education, mental accomplish
ments. social polish and all that
isn't worth fig in the real earnest
battle of life unless he can shoot
straight. In order to shoot straight
he must have we'll trained mind
and hand, courage and clear vision.
1t always was, always is and always
will be true that in every emergency
in life, in every crisis, in every ''last
resort" what really matters is the
man behind the gun.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors = How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five'years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red. pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break o~t again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Wise Legislation.

Vermont's legislature of 1894
buided better than it knew, we i'm
agine, when it framed the act ITO
promote the establishment of free
libraries" That was nearly four
years ago; time enough has elapsed
since then to judge of the value Of
this legislation.
The library act, so called, provided
for the appointment of a board of
FIVE library commissioners, to be ap-
pointed by the governor of the state,
this board having authority under
certain conditions to expend, upon
the application of any town having
no free public library, sum not ex-
cceding 500 for books for the pur.
pose Of establishing a free public
library, the library commissioners to
select and purchase all books so pro-
vided. The persons serving on this
commission, and who are to be
credited with the eminently practi-
cal and efficient execution of the law,
are S. w. Landon of Burlington, des-
ignated by the governor as chairman
of the commission, Miss L. L. Bart
lett Of St. Johnsbury, Miss Mary L.
Titcomb of Rutland, H. E. Rusted
of Richford and F. A. Rowland of
Montpelier.
The forthcoming report Of this
commission will give in detail the
work that has been done. 1t is our
purpose only to summarize some
facts in relation to it. During the
past four years seventy towns have
taken advantage of the act. If he is
benefactor who causes a blade of
grass to grow where no grass grew
before, what shall we say Of leg,sla-
ton that within less than four years
brings about the establishment of
seventy free public libraries where
there were no free libraries before !;
and what shall be said OF the faith
fulness and intelligence necessary on
the part ofthese commissioners, who
have not waited for towns to make
application, but have striven to
carry out the spirit as well as the
letter of the law by urging towns to
take advantage OF its provisions and
by putting forth every effort to bring
about such action. 1t would be diff
hcult to estimate the value of such a
work, or, indeed, to overestimate it.
On the principle that the Lord
helps those who help themselves one

that any town taking advantage of

ward and based on the grand list OF
the town making the application.
The seventy towns above referred to
have all, of course, complied with
this provision, but, not content with
this, in many of the towns clubs and
associations have been formed for
still further increasing the amount
to be expended on books and in some
instances substantial sums have been
raised to swell the grand total and
to increase the usefulness and efficien-
cy of the library. Old organizations,
long since dead, have been brought
out into new life and money and
books discovered to serve as a nucle-
us for the library, and, in more than
one instance, legacies have been be.

section of the state. There is every
