Some Of our esteemed contempora-
ries are claiming that Congressman
Grout is not talker and urging that
in Judge Read the voters have a man
whose eloquence will move the House.
The voters of the Second District are
to be congratulated that their Con-
gresham is not professional talker.
There are too many men there now
who jump up on any and all occasions
and tell the members all they know
and great deal that they don't know
about the matter before the House.
These takers are the men who speak
to empty seats and empty galleries.
The real leaders are the men who
never speak unless they desire to
speak upon the subjects they know
something about, or those of special
public Importance. When these men
speak they find the members in their
seats and the visitors gallery well
-CdIedonian.

The very fact of his continuous SER
vice coupled with the point that we
need a man there that is in close touch
with leading men of the Administra-
ton at this trying time, is sufficient
reason for continuing Gen. Grout at
his post. The idea of turning him
down simply because few are clam
oring for change is boyish in the ex
treme. Gen. Grout is everything
claimed for Judge Read, with the OBJ
vious advantage of experience in

AS the time draws near for the con-
vention which is to be held at Mont
pelier the friends of the different can
didates are hard at work pushing the
claims of their respective candidates.
81. F. Field has announced that he
will not be a candidate-for re- election
to the office of State Treasurer, and
the Office will probably be given to j..
u. Bacon of White River Junction.
MIR. Bacon is a young man and one
Thoroughly competent to perform the
duties of the Office in a creditable
manner. He has very strong fol-
lowing, and although there are sever
al good men in the field yet he will be
likely to win. For the Office of Secre-
tary of State there are several candi
dates. Mr.. Brownell's work since he
has held the Office would entitle him
to reelection, but if a change
should be made in this office, am ong
the new candidates presented it would
seem that Victor I. Spear would be
|entitled to consideration above any
other. Mr.. Hale has filled the Office
of State Auditor in very acceptable
and should be re e-elected. He has
held the Office but six years and the
argument which is used against the
other state officers, that they have
held office as long as their predeces-
sors, will not apply to him. The man
ner in which he has fulfilled his du-
ties has made him many friends all
over the state and they will work
hard to see that he is retained in the
Office.

making a rather active canvass, there
is not the slightest doubt, as there is
not of the general ability and fitness

Although the friends of Mr.. Read
are making thorough canvass all
over the state they have not gained a
very strong following thus far, and if
the friends of General Grout will lust
turn out and cast their votes there
will be no trouble about his election
Mr.. Reads supporters have tried to
belittle Gen. Grout by comparing the
army record Of the two candidates,
and in other ways but everything
they have done in trying to make a
point has been found to react against
them. They have made the claim
that Gen. Grout asked for the nomi-
nation last year with the understand
ing that he was not to be in the field
again, and the story being utterly false
failed in having the desired effect.
We give below clippings from several
of the state papers.

BRITISH CONSUL BANISHED.

| A st. Thomas, W. l., despatch says:
ssSuspected of having furnished the
| United States with information of the
mining Of San Juan harbor, Walter
Bett, Secretary of the British consul
late at that port, has received his
passports, and been banished from
Porto Rico by order of Governor Gen.
Macias. Mr.. Bett was imprisoned in
a dungeon for ffty-s six hours, and
during that time was subject to gross
maltreatment. British Consul GEN
eral Crawford has made formal pro-
international complications are i'm
minent. General Macias has practi-
ca1ly declared war against the British
colony in San Juan, and made open
accusation that it is responsible for
the disclosure of his military plans to
United States Consul General Philip
Hanna, who is now at ST. Thomas.
Although the greatest care and Sc
crecy were observed by the Spanish
in mining the harbor, the details of

General Hanna. He is now making
an extensive report of the operations
to the Navy Department. In some
way General Macias learned of this,
and as the British consulate has been
guarding American interests in Porto
Rico since the withdrawal of Mr.. Han
ma, he at once suspected that English
men had conveyed the news to the
United States official. He perempto
rily summoned thirty British subjects
before him and put them through a
searching examination. Of these
thirty several were suspected and
General Macias caused them to be
cast into prison for twenty four hours.
Upon Secretary Bett General Macias
visited most of his wrath. The Brit
ish official was practically accused of
having revealed the military prepara-
tions, and he was dragged off to a
dungeon and thrown in. There he
was kept for fifty six hours, in face
of the protests of Consul General
Crawford. When he was released,
Mr.. Bett was presented with his pass
ports and ordered out of Porto Rico.
He has left for st. Thomas.

An Old Time Winter.

An eastern paper says the prophets
who have been predicting a severe
winter are already beginning to wear
looks of triumphant wisdom. So far
the weather returns are all in their
favor. Thanksgiving Day opened the
campaign with a very little skirmish
in the way of a snOwstorm, and Sat
urday the combat thickened and there
was long and persistent lombard
ment of the same kind which covered
many OF the city streets for q brief
period and effected q stronger lodg-
ment in the country. There seems to
have been mild touch of earth quake
too, in Maryland and the South This
is doing pretty well for this time of
the year, and if proportional meteor
illogical activity is manifested as the
weeks go by, we shall have''a regular
old-fashioned'' winter, with plenty of
sleighing and skating by Christmas
and possibly before spring stories of
huge snowdrifts and blockades such
as were common when the 'oldest in
sTnlabitants'' were young and winters
knew their business and did not mere
ly play at being cold and stormy.

nearly always at this season Of the

mast in the heavy forest, the wild
goats hid in the thick laurel, the
timid aud watchful deer feeding
along the edges of the glade meadow,
or shooting like ray of light across
ragged cliffs: the streams are full of
delicious trout and bass. It is the
season Of health, splendOr. siimulat-

A Typical Thanksgiving.

Thursday was Thanksgiving. 1t
was the typical Thanksgiving you
have read about The air was lust
winterish enough to be bracing, and
there was an artistic completeness in
the scattering snowfakes. OF course
the great American bird was the
piece de resistance. The turkey aid
ed and abetted by trimming is always
supreme on Thanksgiving Day.
There was nothing particularly
special going on, save the union SER
vice in st. Paul's NJ. E. church which
was well attended and particularly in
teresting. To be sure there were many
who enjoyed the day in other ways.
1t was an occasion in which the gun
and dog figured and many were they
who hied themselves to the noun
tains, the fields and the like, in
search of rabbits, quail, pheasants.
and even wild turkeys while others
sought different kinds of amuseme,nts.
