That bears so sweet thing!

Alone thy lips allure
Thou art not freak'd with purple stains
Nor fire OF scarlet bright;
But silyer'd by the silvery rains.
And touch'd with vernal light.

Hon. T. j. Deavitt gives the Montpelier

Visions OF Heroes.

My mind fills to overhowing with
thoughts that come unbidden of the men
who wore the blue and often stained it
purple. l see them in the bloody day at
Shiloh, in the phenomenal campaign about
Vicksburg. l see Thomas, standing like
rock at Chickamauga, sustained by men
who could not be driven back while their
hands could hold the cold steel, and there
is Black Jack Logan riding along the lines
at Atlanta, and bark to the tramp of Sher-
mans men, marching over the hills and
through the valleys down to the seal The
sea-aye, its voices sing to me of ships and
men, Of Winslow in the Kearsarge, Cush-
ing and the Albemarle, Worden and the
Monitor, Porter and Fort Fisher and that
bold sailor, the brave old admiral, dashed
to the rigging Of the Hartford, who sale
in the bay fight: damn the torpedoes
Go ahead '-Archbisho Brady.

Give Back the Flags.

The question of returning the Confed-
crate battle flags now at Washington is
again being sgitated. 1t will be remem-
bered that when Mr.. Cleveland undertook
to return them in 1887 his action excited
a storm OF protest. 1t arose mainly from
the fact that the president was usurping
the power of congress, the flags being the
property Of the government, feeling the
came at time and in man
ner that made it look like sort of recap
ture based on a political triumph of the
cause arms had failed to establish, and Mr..
Cleveland's unpopularity among the men
who captured the flags.
But now when we are at war with q
foreign nation, when the South vies with
the North in the display of loyalty, when
we are all Yankees, these objections van
ish. 1t is time for unity of sentiment
and all prevailing good fellowship and if it
would be pleasing to those who fought
under those flags to have them, why not
let them.
Surely we do not want them to gloat
over like the old Roman with his prows Of
conquered ships. We have risen above
the Indian whose process was attested by
the scalps that dangled in his wigwam.
Where is the man who helped capture
those flags who will say nay when he
remembers that when Lee surrendered bis
sword to Grant at Appomatox it was
promptly returned?
Those who have seen the moist eye of
the vetaran as he fondly gazes on the bat
tie flags of Vermont in the state house
must know these flags at Washington are
just as dear, mean just as much bloodshed
and hardship and sacrifice to those who
wore the gray.
Send them back. 1t would be the most
fitting recognition this government could
make of the patriotic stand of the south
orn states in this present war. Send them
back. We need the room for Spanish
fags.-St. Adams Messenger.

Old Glory Will Wave.

There is new evidence of enthusiastic
patriotism among the citizens Of Bellows
Falls. AS announced in Wednesdays
issue Of the TINES the pupils of the high
school want new flag and are making
vigorous efforts to secure the money neces-
sary to purchase ore. The ball was set
rolling by well known citizen who told
Principal Crawford that he would give S.
toward the purchase OF the flag. Mr..
Crawford at once enlisted the efforts of the
pupils and quite sum has been raised.
When the ball is once set rolling there is
no telling where it will stop. A. H. Fish
er read of the flag movement in Wednes-
days TINES and indited and mailed the
following letter:
Bellows Falls, Vt.
May 26, '9S.
EDITOR TIMES:
Dear Sir see by the Bellows Falls
TIMES that the high school are in want Of
a flag. I have a nice large one that has
been used but little and will give it to the
SCHOOL ii tncy Will acccpG IL.
Yours truly,
A. H. FISHER.
This patriotic and generous offer on the
part of Mr.. Fisher was brought to the at
tention of the school board and they at
once accepted the flag in behalf of the
school, This flag is - by "a feet, nearly
new, and is fine specimen in every way.
Mr.. Fishers iberality and public interest
will be deeply appreciated both by the
high school and the citizens of the village.
1t was at first thought that the flag could
be attached to the pole on the west wing
of the high school building but as this pole
is only 16 feet above the roof it is alto
gether too short for "a foot flag. 1t has
been thought best to set pole in the yard
one that is strong, of good height and
will be credit to the building and
grounds. 1t is likely that what money is
already raised will be applied on the pur-
chase Of pole, and enough more raised to
meet every expense.

But from their homes and friends and kin
They bravely marched away.

In peace repose today,
And mid the folds of glory's flag
The gentle sunbsams play.

has seemed likely to run on forever,
Now the old feeling OF 1882 and 1884
has undergone resurrection. 1t has
never been dead, it has been simply sleep

has within its limits men of brains, men
who are stout advocates, men who have the
qualities of statesmen, men OF rugged
strength OF character, and it proposes to
begin, in this year of 1898, to make trial
of some OF the material at his disposal. If
at first they don't succeed, needing the in
junction enforced upon them in the little

idea get away from you if you mean to
keep along with congressional politics ii

general observation of the field has lee
Plumley to the proper conclusion that thu
man who runs up against Grout this yea
will get thrown and good and hard at that
He has left this honor in his friend Read
Why? Because be is morally certain tina
Read will be beaten and beaten mean
shelved or so much so, that he won't be il
it to speak of two years hence, when
Grout should have the audacity to ask TO
it again Plumley could down him easily
and if he should be willing to step dow
and out he could reciprocate for Plumley'
influence this year by using his influence t.
help defeat any candidate that might com
up to do battle with Plumley then Bet you

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The newspapers in the second congress

talk about the coming district convention
and wondering if Gen. Grout is to succeed
himself or be succeeded by. Judge L. M

one thing is patent, -never before was
there such newspaper opposition to the
reelection of the present representative !;
and if newspapers are indicative to any
considerable extent of public opinion, there
will be an uprising against the general that
will break the spell and free the district Of
its Grout shack}es. Below is given a few

GrOut Runs on Forever.

The pride OF the district is aroused. The
feeling is strong that General Grout long
ago reached the outer limit of his capacity
and of his public usefulness, as represent
alive OF the district. He represented the
old third district one term In congress and
is now concluding his seventh successive
term as representative OF the new east side,
or second district, making 16 years Of
schooling in the national congress.
When the new second district, compris-
ing the counties on the east side OF the
the mountain line, was constituted, after
the reapportlonment OF representatives
under the census of 1880, the people OF the
district expressed their desire for strong
representation in the national law making
body by recalling Luke p Poland from bis
retirement and electing him, notwithstand-
ing a formidable bolt in favor of General
Grout.
In 1884, Judge Poland declined another
election. There was feeling in the dis
trict that General Grout had not been
fairly used. The plea was made In his be-
halt that he desired another nomination
and election merely to retrieve his name
from the stigma he deemed had been placed
upon it by the events of the canvass of
1882. Under this plea, and the represen-
tation that he was suffering from an in
durable mala6y, General Grout was nomi-
mated in 1884 in convention in which be
was opposed by w. p Dillingham; and
George w. Hooker. The curative powers
of that nomination and the election follow
ing, were more magical than those Of Ner-
vura or Celery Compound. General
Grout seemed to have tapped the fountain
of perpetual youth. The one term be
