Summon the Junketers.

Is there NJ, thing omiuous in the.
concluding paragrap pa Ut the Montpelier
Wdtchmdn's comment on the Grout ex-
PLANTATION of the Nashville junket2 1t
ia certainly true that good many of
the people who went on it are declaring
that they themselves paid their whole
expenses, as all certainly ought to have
done. Apparently some must have
done 30, because there are said to have
been sixty five in the party and only
fifty-six are charged up as having been
paid for by the State in the $3.50 spent
on that affair. But from the Watch
mans statements and the protestatious
one can hear, ii would be supposed that
a good many more have done so. Such
being the case the legislative commit.
tee can do no less in justice than sum-
mon every one of these junketers be-
fore it to tell under oath exactly what
the fact is and thus develop the precise
truth instead of leaving someone under
the imputation of stealing the money,
which is really what the loose talk
amounts to. 1t is bad enough that the
Governor should have made such law
less and extravagant use of State funds;
but when the accusation virtually fol-
lows that the money was collected both
from the State and individuals, it is
cruel if not true, and where proof or
disproof is easy, there is no excuse for
leaving the case in its present position.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure il you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack medi-
cine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country four
years, and is a regular prescription.
1t is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such won
derful results in curing catarrh. Send

AS the DAILY JOURNAL prophesied,
Senator Edmunds' letter in opposition
to retaining the Philippines finds ac-
ceptance chiefly with the Mugwumps
and the consorts OF that curious people.
The Republican of Springfield, fanatical
as bowling dervish in its practice of
the rites of its cult, closes an approval
of the sentiments of the Senator whom
it was wont to revile with this prayer:
"Would that Edmunds, and more like
him, were still in the counsels of the
government at Washington" But the
country does not respond, Amen.

Mechanics Fair, Boston.

The old Mechanics Fair in Boston is attend
ed by multitudes that break all records, the
daily attendance being from twelve to twenty
thousand. The big presses, LOOMS machines,
shoe-shops, hat factories, and electrical cook
ing and heating devices, interest and delight
all visitors while Keith's Paul Revere theatre
is thronged from morning until night, and is
one of the new features of the Fair. The
demonstration of the X-ray, the artificial day
light parlor, the mysteries of wireless teleg-
raphy, by which miniature warships are blown
up at frequent intervals, the electric tableaux,
illustrating the several stages of electrical de-
velopment-all offer a variety of entertain
ment. During the month of November music
will be furnished by Reeves celebrated Amer
can band, of Providence. Great interest CEN
tiers in the horseless carriage or auto mobile de-
partment where are seen the most advanced

lightful attractions. The exhibition will pos

NOTICED THIS BEFORE.
You Probably Have and May Have Spoken
About 1t.

The reader of this paper, if he takes
the time and trouble to look carefully
through its columns, will probably find
half dozen statements tackled on to the
foot of re9di1g notices about medicinal
preparations. Note this fact. In each
andaevery case as far as Montpelier is
concerned, as far as the readers knowl-
edge of the party is concerned, he
might just as well be in the moon.
NJ Ike another note of this. The only
iemedy on the marke which give testi-
mony a. home, local proof in every
town and city in the Union TO back up
its claims, is Doan's Kidney pills.
They all try it but they cannot do it.
Why they are unable to do it can safely
b. LIFT to the reader to draw his own
conclusions. Here is Montpelier proof
for Montpelier readers:
Mrs. Sarah Downing Of No, II Barre
street says: my kidneys troubled me
for many years and l suffered a great
deal from them. A few years ago
had fever aud it aggravated the com
plant. The pain across my back was
very severe, especially after a hard
days work, and If | stood on my feet
Ibl any ltuElu VI llllt IL was 81 Dhd
that it made me restless and nervous at
might so l could not sleep. A kidney
weakness which was always distressing
and annoying bothered me- l used
various medicines but got little relief
from them. read of Doan's Kidney
pills and my grandson got box for me
at Lester II. Greene's store. l am
glad to state that they did me great
deal Of good in every way. My back
was stronger and could sleep well at
night. The kidney secretions were
also corrected. intend to keep Doan's
Kidney pills in the house to use if the
occasion arises. My daughter also
used them with good result. You may
refer to me as having used Doau's Kid
ney pills, and l take pleasure in recon-
mending so good a medicine"

Vermont and the Philippines.

In an editorial article bearing the
title above, the New York Sun says:
"Those disciples of Carl Schurtz who are
opposing the administration policy with
regard to the Philippines profess to find a
good deal of comfort in the utterances of
certain Vermonters like Mr.. Edmunds and
Mr.. Phelps and Congressman Powers.
They seek to create the impression that
Vermont is against the retention of the
Philippine archipelago and against national
expansion generally"
For an indication of the real public
sentiment in Vermont on the matter
in question, the Sun refers to the
passage, without dissenting vote, by
the Vermont Legislature, of the res
olution approving the Pro sid nt's de-
mand of Spain for the cession of the
entire Philippine archipelago, and pub
fishes the full text of the resolution

WRITES man of Vermont, whose
life has been one of busy activity for
more than ha'f century, who has been
twice a member OF the State Senate
and has seen much of this great country
of ours:
"Your article, Greatness in Eclipse, in
the JOURNAL of November Is, has just the
right ring. You are quite right-our people
will meet the situation like men and Chris
tians.' Ex-senator Edmunds, Edward
Phelps, the Springfield Republican, Grover
Cleveland and the Mugwump editors are
way off as to the real sentiment of the
American people. But I'VE young fellows
will see Uncle Sam safely through, and he
will command the respect OF the whole
world"
This particular 'youug fellow" is
some years past three score years and
ten, but his "eye is not dimmed, nor
bis mental force abated." Vermont is
full of such men, old and young, of high
patriotism and lively moral sensibilily.
They are not making so much noise as
some of the protestants against Presi-
dent McKinley's policy of humanity
and national honor, but they are doing
great deal of quiet thinking. Their
heads are clear and their hearts in the
right place. They "will see Uncle Sam
safely through and will command the
respect of the whole world"

Omcial Responsibility.

Hear first and Judge afterwards. Gov
ernor Grout and his subordinates in
the State civil and military government
are entitled to the same consideration
while under examination for alleged
official dereliction as any others charged
with offenses against the laws. They
are entitled to suspension of judg-
ment till al the facts respecting their
official expenditures are ascertained
and their relation to the laws, written
unwritten, regulating the admins
n of public affairs is established.
&c is, however, one circumstance
thai Ast not be lost to view in the
preliminary stage of the examination.
Josiah Grout was Governor of Yer
mont during the time the expenditures
which are the subject of investigation
were made. He was the supreme civil
and military officer of the State. 1t was
his business, and he had abundant op.
portunity, to know how his subordin.
ates in the offices of adjutant and it,
spector general and quartermaster gen.
eral were conducting the business of
their respective departments. These eff
GERS take their general orders from the
chief executive, and the details of their
official administration pass under his eye
in reports and in accounts of public
f,,,, 1o commanded Frha GAuovNAr ;a
posed to know the laws he is elected to
administer and to understand the metes
and bounds of executive authority. He
is supposed to govern. That is what
he is put into the Governors office for.
He is directly responsible for acts he
ap proves or which are done by his
knowledge and assent. If the official
expenditures the adjutant and inspec-
tor general was reporting to him were
outside the authority of la or were
not warranted by circumstances, or
were injudcious and extravaganza, it
was his right to withhold his approval
and his duty to command, and to in
sist, that his subordinate keep within
the bounds of law and reason in man
aging the business of his office. 1t was
his duty to check extravaganza, and
require such judicious management
and reasonable economy as he would
exact from an agent managing his own
private business.
On the contrary Governor Grout
seems to have imposed practically no
restraint upon his subordinate. He APP
proved his bills without question, with
one or two trivial exceptions. The
subordinate seems to have banked
upon the easy-going official methods of
his superior. In this way unstinted
indulgence was encouraged.
The chief executive must, therefore,
be held primarily responsible for the
acts of his subordinates in so far as he
was knowing or ought to have been
knowing to their manner of admins
tering public trust. He not only in
terposed no check, administered no eff
fective admonition, but approved with
out question the accounts for eXtrava-
giant and unlawful expenditures of pub
lie funds. There is such a thing as
primary official responsibility, and ex-
Governor Grout must be held rigdly
up to its exactions. No Sinking. No
making scapegoats of subordinates.
