A Bit of a Rumor.

The St. Adams correspondent Of
the Boston Globe breaks gently to
the reading public an interesting bit
Of news, as follows:
Among the odd bits of rumors
straying about at the opening of the
political canvass in this state is the
intimation that Hon. d. ]. Foster of
Burlington, commissioner of state
taxes, has under consideration pos
sible contest with Hon. H. Henry
Powers of Morristown tor the honor
of representing the list district in
congress.
How far this report may be veri-
fed it is impossible to tell, but it has
begun to have currency, and makes
its first appearance in print in these
lines. That the matter has been un
der consideration in some quarters is
certain, but that Mr.. Foster will be
candidate the globe correspondent
cannot say.
David Johnson Foster was born
in Barnet, June 81, 1857. He was
educated at St. Johnsbury Academy,
and was member of the class Of
1880 at Dartmouth college. He
began his residence in Burlington in
that year, and studied law and was
admitted to the bar. He has been
city grand juror and school commits.
sioner, was state attorney for Chit
tenden county from 1886 to 1890.
normal school examiner from 1884
to 1856 and senator from Chtten-
den county in 1892. He was ap-
pointed commissioner of state taxes
in 1894, and reappointed in 1896.
Mr.. Foster was the first president
of the Young Mems state republican
club, and a leader in bringing that
organization to the front. His &C.
tual political work, however, has
been largely performed with older re-
publicans, and he supported Grout in
his canvass for the gubernatorial
nomination in 1896.
The above will have special relish
to people hereabouts, because of the
fact that Mr.. Foster is a Caledonia
county boy, graduate of St. Johns
bury Academy and a member of the
alumni advisory board, and has
manv friends in this section who will
not begrudge him any political hon.
ors that come his wav.

Hints About Laughing.

A laugh doeth good like medicine, but
you must be sure to have the laugh with
others, not at them, il you would have
it really do good The kindness which
governs in other things should in this
no substituting of something else that's
lust as good" for the golden rule, which
should control our conduct-ior nothing
else is just as good, nor nearly as good.
Here are a few ''donts" for the little
people-and we are all little sometimes
to observe about laughter:
1. Don't laugh at an accident. 1t is
bad enough to be the victim OF embar-
rassment, such as comes with any acct
dent, without being at the same time the
butt of ridicule.
Don't laugh at misfortune of any kind.
Sympathy need not be vocal to be very
expressive, but it is much more potent
for good than rdicue or amusement.
3. Don't laugh at mistake. Your
own mistakes are coming in every day
and you don't want to be paid in money
of your own coming unless the coin is of
the best standard quality.
4. Don't laugh at the aged. Some
dayyou'll be just as old as the Oldest man
or woman you know-if you live long
enough.
S. Don't laugh at the awkward. 1t is
not so much to your credit that you are
graceful as it is that you are kind.
"There's nothing so royal as Kindness"
and it is not kind to laugh at person
whom you think awkward.
6. Don't laugh at a joke that has any
doubtful meaning. All coarse or mean
conversation should be frowned down.
7. Don't laugh in the way that will
disturb others.

Several communities in Caledonia
county are experiencing the disas.
trous results of a difference of opinion
in the matter Of postmaster candi-
dates; and in some of these cases it
is going to take large amount of
oil, judiciously distributed, to calm
the troubled waters. 1t is cause for
genuine regret when any community
gets so stirred up over the naming OF
postmaster-or any other official
that business, social, and even church
circles feel the effect of the commo.

antagonisms and close rubs: hut

seem to feel badly over the absorp-

celebrated the passing of their munic,

his claws and smacking his lips in
anticipation of the luxurious repast

ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able tC
cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity
Catarrh being constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

APRoPos Of the Gubernatorial situa-
ton the Hackensack Republican says:
There is rumor emanating from some
source in Newark that there will yet be a
movement to nominate Franklin Murphy
for governor. 1t is doubtful if this is well
founded, and we hope it is not While we
had rather see Mr.. Murphy governor than
any man in New Jersey, it is too late now
for thinking of him as candidate this
time. Unless there shall come speedy
and marvellous change in Republican sen
timent no political effort can prevent Fos-
ter NJ Voorhees, becoming the Republican
nominee for governor; and he will be
elected, whoever may be his Democratic
opponent.
This is sound talk There should not
be any political effort" to retire the pres
emit occupant of the Governors chair.
Such movement would not be good pol
itics. Gov Voorhees, is entitled to full
term. He has made an honest and honor
able official, and no one can say that hi
has used his office to advance his own DO
litical ambitions. He is the peoples can
didate and the people are having much tC
say in electing officers in these days.

Second district Congressional Convention.

REGARDING the recent decision that
children's lives are practically worthless,
the New York Tribune says Justice
Gummere's decision is classed among the
words that might better have been left
unsaid And that is the general opinion.
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1898-08-02

No LEGAL decision has been given for a
long while that has created as much criti-
cism as that of Judge Gummere in the
case of the child killed by trolley car
The comments are not favorable to the
justice While it may be true that the
official only made declaration in accord
ance with the law, the fact remains that
he gave utterance to words that were en-
tirely out of place and were not what one
would expect to hear from the lips of a
humane man, especially "a father of
twins, who would hardly be reconciled
to the loss of any offspring on his own de-
cision that they were an expense The
official declaration may have been in keep
ing with defective law, but the language
used in rendering it was harsh and cruel.
We do not believe there is any justifica-
tion for a decision from the bench in New
Jersey that will bear the imprint of put
ting premium on child murder by indi-
vidual or corporation.

CONSIDERABLE uneasiness has been
created by the report of an assault upon a
young girl on the outskirts of the town
and there are demands for the arrest and
speedy punishment Of the perpetrator of
the deed. The indignation that has been
aroused is all right provided the occur
renee is as reported. There is every rea-
son to believe that this case should receive
the most thorough investigation that has
ever been given to any violation of law.
If the story Of the girl is true it should so
be shown beyond the shadow of a doubt
and no effort should be spared to bring
her assailant to justice. If the contrary
is proven steps should be taken that will
relieve the fears of those who are com
PEELED to use the thoroughfare on which
the assault is alleged to have taken place.
