Attend the Caucus.

1t is the duty of every republican
to attend the caucus which is soon
to be held in his town to elect dele
gates to the county, congressional
and state conventions. By attend.
ing the primaries each citizen can
have direct influence in politics and
express his individual preference for a
candidate or possible legislation.
This should not be considered an "off
year" in politics. 1t promises to be
the most important year politically
we have had since the stirring days
of the civil war. No one should stay
away because he thinks his vote will
not count. No one vote counts any
more than anybody else's and each
citizen should realize that RESPONSE
bility rests upon his shoulders and
that it cannot be shifted or set aside.
To end as we began, attend the
caucus.

For State Treasurer.

Ever since the name OF John l..
Bacon was mentioned for state
treasurer his candidacy has been
growing in popular favor and he will
come into the state convention with
strength which will undoubtedly
bring victory. Mr.. Bacon is cashier
OF the White River Junction National
Bank and one of the bright young
republicans of Vermont. He was
graduated from st. Johnsbury Acad-
envy in the class of 1881 and since his
school days he has been actively en-
gagged in banking and climbed the
ladder to the position of cashier OF
one of the best banks in central YER
mont. When member of the legis-
,lature he served most efficiently on
the banking committee and his pub
lie record is one that any young man
may be proud of.
1t is especially fitting that the pc.
sition of state treasurer should come
to this side of the state. Most oil
the state Offices are held by the resi-
dents of the west side and if some
fellows had their own way in the
coming convention about all the Of
fees would go to Burlington. "There
are Others" besides Queen City can.
didates, and in John L. Bacon the
voters have candidate for state
treasurer who is popular wherever he
is known; who is a trusted banker
and who, If nominated and elected
will be worthy successor to tn,

priation bill, another on the Cuban
question and the third on the war
revenue measure. These have been
widely distributed through the state
and are good examples of telling ar
gument and oratory. When the
news came OF a Vermonter's victory
at Manila our congressman took
prompt action upon the vote OF
thanks which was ultimately passed
in favor Of Dewey. His action with
reference to the sword voted Dewey
and the medal Of honor for his men
is also matter which thrills every
Vermonter with pride.
Gen. Grout is just the kind OF a
talker that we want to return to
Washington. He talks when he has
something to say and the members
and the people he represents under
stand that he is we'll posted on his
subject. His legal training helps him
to speak to the point and avoid gilt
tering generalities and buncombe.
He is the friend of the soldier, the
farmer, and the every day citizen and
has always stood ready to defend
their interests on the floor of the
House.

June Magazines.

The Century for June devotes much
Of its space to the topics suggested
by the war and is one of the best
numbers of this popular magazine.
The Spanish Armada is described
and illustrated from manuscript
records and Capt. A. T. Mahan of
the naval strategy board has written
an introduction to the article
describing it's failure. Emory w.
Fem, late major in the Cuban army,
writes interestingly upon "Ten
Months with the Cuban Insurgents"
and "The Confederate Torpedo Ser.
vice" is described by the electrician
who laid the mine which blew up
the first gun boat ever destroyed by
this means.
Col. Forbes Vermonter is devoted
to description ofthe First Regiment
Vermont Volunteers with numerous
views of camp life at Chickamauga
and portraits of all the commls-
stoned officers, above the rank of
lieutenant. The roster of the regi-
ment is also given and the June
number is well worth preserving.
The first quarter of Current His
tory has recently been issued and of
course especial prominence is given
to the various acts in Cuba and
Spain that led up to the war. The
contents Of the number also embrace
a worldwide range, including the
political problems of the Orient, the
Hawaiian and Behring Sea questions,
the problems arising out Of the
Greco-Turkish war, the general sit
uation in Europe, the working OF
the DINGHY tariff, the Dreyfuse case,
currency reform, the relations of the
powers in Africa, the rush to the
Klondike, United States and Cana
dian politics, the general business
situation, labor and social problems
in various countries, progress Of
science and mechanical invention
etc., etc. Price 40 cents a copy OF
$50 year: New England Pub
fishing Company, Boston.
Godey's Magazine for June opens
with a contribution, by Joseph
Dana Miller, on 1.-The Spauiard il
Cuba" In this paper Mr.. Miller
gives clear, concise and unanswer
able statement of the whole Cubar
question, reviewing the history o
Spain's rule in the island from it:
beginning to the outbreak of the wal
with the United States. The article
covers the subject so thoroughly
that it should be kept for reference
by every reader OF today's history
making events.

Gen. CIRCUITS Oratory.

Some Of our esteemed contempora-
ries are claiming that Congressman
Grout is not talker and urging that
in Judge Read the voters have 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 occa-
sions and tell the members all they
know and good 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 Wis
itors' gallery well filled.
Gen. Grout is one of the latter
kind that only address the House
when there is something worth talk
ing about. That his speeches are
considered valuable is instanced by
the fact that of speech of his in the
Fifty.third Congress $4,000 copies
were circulated by the republican
congressional campaign committee.
Such an honor was never enjoyed by
any other Vermont representative or
senator. In the campaign of 1894
only one speech was more widely cir
culated than Congressman CIRCUITS
and that was a speech of Speaker
Reeds on the tariff question. 1t
stands to reason that these speeches
are not empty words or flowery ora
tory, but cold, hard facts, attrac-
lively presented by one who has
made himself perfectly familiar with
the subject upon which he is speak
ing.
Gen. Grout has made three speeches

own candidate. 1t presents to the
delegates man who has served the
state both in the senate and the
house. While county senator for
two terms he served on important
committees and was still further hon.
ored by being elected president pro
tenn at each session. Asa member of
the last House he served on the ju-
dietary committee and rendered i'm.
portant service there and on the
special committee to investigate the
outrages at the Waterbury asylu m.
He was presidential elector the same
year and was one of the four privi-
legged characters who voted direct
for President Mckinley.
Mr.. Bates is a man from the COM
mon people. When only 10 he
entered the war, enlisting in the
Fourth Massachusetts Heavy Artil-
lery, serving until its close. His
professional career began in this
county, in the town of Wheelock,
and from modest beginning in one
OF the bill towns OF the state his law
business has steadily increased until
the present time when he is employed
in nearly all the important cases in
the three northeastern counties oil
Vermont.
Mr.. Bates will make an ideal pre-
siding officer. He has a judicial
mind, commanding presence and is
an eloquent speaker. His past ser
vice in the senate makes him perfectly
couversant with its methods of pro
ceedure and under his guiding bant

The apparently innocent looking
amendment proposed and being work
ed for in this state under the guise OF
"local option" as to what class of prop
erty shall be taxed for municipal pur-
poses, is scheme for single tax pure
and simple. Just the effect of this
is voiced in speech in Congress OF Mr..
Mcguire, now single tax candidate for
governor Of California, and Que of the
apostles of that creed: "My PROPOSE
ton to impose all taxes for public pur-
poses upon the value OF land, exclus-
i've and irrespective of the improve
ments thereon, and to abolish all other
forms of taxation, necessarily involves
the idea that there is an essential dit
ference between private property in
land and private property in other
kinds OF wealth." Upon this basis
stocks, bonds, corporations, railway
rolling stocks, banks, machinery, in
fact, everything would be relieved
from taxation and the burden thrown
upon the owners of farms or a home
stead.-Ledger.

The report of the United States
bureau of statistics for the past year

ing an increase in the balance of the
right side of the ledger from our for
eign trade. Especially SO is the. Stats

Britain. Our imports from that
country were $109, lbs, 1865, while our
exports to Great Britain amounted to
$40, $780, 1852, an increase of twelve
percent in exports and a decrease Of
thirty-ive percent in imports. Among
the heaviest shrinkages in imports
was wool from nearly five million dol.

in 1898. Imports of cotton niece
goods fell off nearly two million dol.
