A BaId-Headed Reply.

A naval officer very well and favorably
known in London has for some unknown rea-
son been advanced in his profession very
slowly, though he has grown gray in the
service, and indeed, lamentably bald. Re.
Gently one of his Juniors was bold enough
to question him as to his remarkable 40.
sence of hair.
"How comes it that you are so very bald?"
The officer replied promptly and with
much vindictiveness:
young man, you would be bald Think,
il you had had men stepping over your head
for years in the way have. ."-London Judy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Secretary
Day. Senator Davis, Senator Frye,
Whitelaw Reid and Justice White are
the Commissioners definitely decided
upon by the President to negotiate
treaty OF peace between the United
States and Spain.
The American Peace Commissioners
are not going to Paris 10 demand the
retention of the entire Philippine group
of islands by the United States, but they
will contend for the occupation OF Luzou
Island by this country.
During the conference to-day the
whole Spanish question was fully dis
cussed and the policy of the administra-
ton was distinctly outlined for the ben
eft OF the Commissioners. While the
fact is recoe nized that large majority
of the American people, at least so far
as they have been heard from through
the public press, are inclined to favor
the taking of the Philippines by the
United States, the participants in the
conference to-day advanced in their
opinions many substantial reasons why
| this should not be done.
| In order to maintain absolute control
over the entire group OF islands the
United States Government would be re-
ouired to provide standing army OF
from 10000 to $4,000 men. The mem
bers of the commission do not believe
that would be advisable under existing
conditions, or that it would be popular
with the majority of the thinking PEG

Ex.Gov. Pingree on "Natlve Born Sons

Ex.Gov. Pingree on "Natlve Born Sons"
ExGov. Samuel E. Pingree recently
took occasion to send communi-
cation to most Of the Windsor county
papers favoring the gubernatorial aspira-
tions of Col. E. G. Smith. In the commu-
nication appears this sentence: "What-
ever can be said in favor of the distin-
guished candidate of Bennington County
can also be said in favor of Edward c..
Smith of St. Adams, with this addition that
he IS native born son of Vermont, as
faithful to her interests and as loyal to her
traditions as any one who could be hon
ored by her people by selection to serve as
their chief magistrate"
1t is probable that the ex-governor does
not intend to ever again run for Office in
Vermont; and furthermore it is probable
that the native born son" argument ap-
peals to his mind with greater emphasis
now than it did a few years ago when he
aspired to the Office of chief executive him
self, for the books read as follows: Samu
E. Plngree, son of Stephen and Judith
True Pingree, was born in Salisbury, N.
H., August 2, 1882. 1t is further stated
that he did not move to Vermont until
1857.

Mr.. MoIoney of Rutland.

1t is announced that Felix w. McGet-
trick of St. Albans will not be candidate
for governor of Vermont on the democratic
ticket; this leaves Thomas w. Moloney OF
Rutland with clear field.
1t has been intimated that the demo-
cratic party in this intends to enter upon
a vigorous campaign against the prohib-
itory law, but in case Mr.. Moloney is
chosen standard bearer, the Rutland Her
aid thinks questions regarding his record
may arise. The Herald says:
"Mr. Moloney was nominated represen-
tative of the town of Rutland in 1890 by
the democrats, against Percival W. Glenn
ent, the republican nominee. 1t was
known that Mr.. Clement favored local
option and high license as against prohibi-
ton, and there were in town some prohibi-
tionists. In fact there we're so many pro-
h'bitionists that their votes were desirabl,
if the republican nominee wanted to be
sure of election, 1t is understood that
prohibtionists well authorized to speak
assured Mr.. Clement that he would have
the support of their faction if he would
promise not to introduce or advocate a high
license bill, and that Mr.. Clement refused
Accordingly, when election day came there
was aprohibitionist candidate, E.. G Lewis,
in the field, as well as an inderendent dem
ocratic or labor candidate-T. H. Brown.
The contest was an obstinate one, and Mr.
Moloney was elected on the fourth ballot

fully accept it.
But am not wiling to engage in an un-
seemly contest, such as appears now to be

OF that sort, a, 1t might come to be con-
Quoted, would be creditable to the state or
benz fetal to the republican party; More
especially in the present year, when the
country is confronted by some OF the grav-
est and most perplexing problems in its
history, and when it is most important that
the party should be strongly united in sup
port of the present administration and its
measures. To these it will be the privi-
lege of the republicans Of Vermont to give
their first emphatic approval in the fall
elections, thereby inspiring other states to
the full performance of their duty, as the
ringing voice from the Vermont hills has
so often done in the past when voters else.
where have seemed to falter upon national
issues of vital Importance to the republic.

as candidate, or to throw any obsfacSa in
the way of entire harmony in the party,
In taking this course wish to assure my
friends throughout the state that l am in no
sense ungrateful to them for their conf
dence and proffered support, which has
placed me under obligations l can never
forget, but believe that with me they will
recognize as paramount the importance OF
