THE TELLER RESOLUTION
Adopted by the Senate.
A Solid Democratic Vote In It's Favor,
with n single Exception.

A Solid Democratic Vote in It's Favor,
with a Single Exception.
The weeks discussion of Mr.. Teller's
silver resolution in the United States SEN
ate resulted last Friday in its adoption by
a vote of ~ to 80. The votes of no less
than five groups of Senators were given to
its support, viz. Silver Democrats, Sound
Money Democrats, Populists, Silverites,
and Republicans with leanings toward the
immediate reconciliation of silver Thir-
ty,one Republicans and one Sound Money
Democrat, Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana, were
recorded in the negative. OF the AZ af-
firmative votes % were cast by Democrats,
two by Sound Money Democrats, six by
Populists, four by Silverites and seven by
Republicans In this last group were in
cuded Chandler of New Hampshire;
Clark and Warren of Wyoming; Carter of
Montana; Shoup of Idaho; Pritchard of
North Carolina and Wolcott of Colorado.
Stated in another way, on the final vote
the Democrats were practically unanimous
for the resolution, Caffery of Louisiana
being the only one of their number who
stood by his convictions and voted against
the resolution at every stage of the pro-
ceedngs. Gray of Delaware, Murphy OF
New York, Smith of New Jersey and
Lindsay of Kentucky disappointed the ex-
pectation of them and falsihed their own
record by voting squarely for Teller and
Bryan. On the other hand Chandler of
New Hampshire was the only Eastern Re
publican who joined Teller and the West
ern Silyerites. SOLITARY and alone he
stands among Republicans representing the
whole country east of the Mississippi"
Half dozen OF more amendments were
voted down before the resolution itself was
reached The first, offered by Mr.. Nelson
and declaring that gold and silver coin
used in redeeming government obligations
should be kept at parity, was laid on the
table by ~ votes to 81. Senator Lodge
offered an amendment declaring the ma
tional obligations payable in gold coin or
its equivalent. This was defeated 50 to "a.
Mr.. Foraker proposed an amendment
which recited that until an international
agreement for the free coinage of silver is
reached, the United States will maintain
the gold standard. This was tabled A to

The past week has brought no change in
the Cuban situation. Dispatches from
Madrid early in the week said that squad
ron of Spanish warships had been ordered
to cruise in American waters. Narrowing
stories still come Of the starvation and suf-
fering of the reconcentrados in Havana
and other Cuban cities. Dispatches from
insurgent sources claim that the rebels are
keeping up an active warfare, winning vic
tories, and repeling every attempt at con-
ciliation

Formal announcement of the candidacy
OF Judge L. NJ Read of Bellows Falls for
the congressional nomination from this
district was made by the Bellows Falls
Times last week in an article which is re-
produced elsewhere. No question will be
raised by any one as to the correctness of
the estimate placed therein upon Judge
Reads ability, integrity, and faithful pub
lie service. He is a man whom one always
knows where to find, whether in private
life or on public questions. He has many
friends who will work for his success with
cordial good will, and he will receive strong
support in this county. If change is to
be made in the incumbency of the office
no better choice for the succession could be
made.

Rumors are rife in regard to a gigantic
union of railroad interests, to be controlled
by the Vanderbilt family. The first move
is to be the consolidation of the New York
Central and Lake Shore railroads. Next
the interests will be merged of the Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis
railroads, generally known as the Big Four,
and the Chesapeake Il Ohio system. The
Chicago and Northwestern is another pro-
posed alliance. w. X. Vanderbilt is said
to be the moving spirit of this scheme, with
an ambition to control a trans-continental
system under one management.

From the present outlook the vote on the
Hawaiian treaty will not be taken in the
Senate for fortnight, and perhaps not for
a month. While the friends of the treaty
claim the two-thrds vote necessary for rati-
fication they do not dare risk roll call.
If the success of the treaty is not assured
its friends will resort to joint resolution
as a substitute.

The New York sun closed an editorial
on Branches Trees" with the following:
Zone of the most prolific of our earlier
worthless, if we can credit recent claims,
was Ethan Allen, the hero of Tconderoga.
Immediately after announcing the APP
pointment of the Hon. Ethan Allen Hitch
cock as minister to st. Petersburg more
than one newspaper informed the public
with particularly that he was a great
grandson of Ethan Allen of Vermont and
the Continental Congress. This state
ment was received with some incredulity
by the real descendants of the Allen fam
lily of Vermont, for the reason, well
known to themselves, that the old hero
was never married, although his brothers
and perhaps his sisters were, and did their
part toward populating the country" The
writer who penned this article is evidently
OF that class who know a deal that Saint
So" The Rutland Herald replies to him
concisely as follows: $50! The under
standing up this way is that Ethan Allen
was married twice; that he had eight chill
dren; that one of his daughters married
Samuel Hitchcock and that she had son
named Ethan Allen Hitchcock"

The great strike Of 100000 men employ
ed in the engineering trades in England
Scotland, and Ireland ended last week in
the defeat of the strikers, who are TO re-
turn to their work at their old wages after
over six months of idleness. The engineers
wished TO have the trades union control
more fully the use of machinery, the EN-
ployment OF apprentices and the regulation
of overtime. The strikers suffered many
privations in obeying their leaders. Great
Britain has lost an enormous amount Of
business which has gone to the United
States, to Germany and other countries.
In addition, about S20,OOO,0OO in wages
have been lost and 81, ,OO0,O 600 contributed
TO the funds of the strikers has disappeared
and trades unonism in Great Britain has
received severe blow.

The selection Oh Mr.. j. l. Alex
ander for the craftsmanship of
the county Republican executive
committee was a very prudent
move on the part of the commit
tee. Mr.. Alexander is not only
an enthusiastic, whole.souled Re-
publican, but man who has the
full confidence of his party. His
brilliant race for sheriff of the
county six years ago showed his
ability as an organizer, and his
splendid record as sheriff marks
him as a man whose motto is
forward and in the coming
campaign q magnificent victory
for the entire Republican ticket
will be the result.

in good play. 80 cents on the
