CIRCUITS Committees.

He is chairman of the select COM
mittee to investigate telephone and
gas charges in the District Of Column
bia, the only select committee thus
far appointed this session.
He is chairman of expenditures in
the war department, and next him
on the committee is Hon. w. A. Rus
sell, of Connecticut, member of the
committee on ways and means. This
is very important committee just
now, as in this war there is expended
every day between two and three
millions of dollars; and if not done
in accordance with law it is the duty
OF this committee to take action. AS
indicating the Importance Of this
committee attention is called to the
fact that the articles of impeachment
against Secretary Of War Belknap
were reported by this committee.
And last and most important Of
all, he is a member of the committee
on appropriations, and chairman Of
a subcommittee in charge of one Of
the great appropriation bills on the
floor, carrying millions of dollars.
And yet the Read men complain that
he has no standing in committee
work. The fact is, hardly any other
member in the whole house has
as many and important committee
assignments as the member from the
second district.

Make It Secretary Proctor.

Are we approaching the millen-
mum? Here is the Rutland Herald,
which has persistently opposed the
Proctor interest, urging that Presi'
dent Mckinley remove Secretary
Alger and appoint Senator Proctor
in his place. The suggestion is a
good one and is we'll received in many
quarters. When Proctor was secre-
tarv of war in Harrison's cabinet it
was acknowledged that he was the
best secretary since Stanton who
was in Lincoln's cabinet. If Proctor
had been in Ayers place when war
was declared there would have been
no troops starving and poorly
clothed on Southern battlehelds.
Proctor doesn't DO things that way.
And if Proctor goes into the cabinet
why not have Gen. ]. 6. Mccullough
in the senate until the war is over.
Vermont has furnished the country
an excellent admiral; she can also
furnish an ideal secretary of war
Make it Secretary Proctor, Mr.
President.

president Of the Woman's Relief corps

Who will dare oppose her! Isn't
she from Vermont. t1e country that

Let us hope that Commodore
Dewey will withhold his consent at

for advertising patent medicines. He
halls from Vermont, as we have all
recently learned, and Vermont, OF
course is proud Of him. But she is
sensitive about the use of her great
mems pictures by advertisers. The
portrait of her governor has lately
figured in the newspapers in connec.
ton with a patent medicine, and
there is reason to believe that Yer

would be worth a good deal to a

State Politics.

The republican state convention meets
the 22d and number OF caucuses
have already been held and delegates
elected favorable to the nomination of
E. c. Smith of st. Adams for governor.
1t is conceded on all sides that Mr.. Smith
will make an exceptionally good gov
ernor, and it is gratifying to his many
friends to see the unanimity displayed.
After nominating a candidate for gov
ernor the delegates will have high old
time selecting the balance of the ticket
from the many candidates in the field.
Il Bristol Herald.
For secretary of state much more
vigorous canvass is being made. The
candidates are the present incumbent,
Chauncey w. Brownell of Burlington,
Victor I. Spear of Braintree and Fred A.
Rowland Of Montpelier. The last named
candidate has many warm advocates,
but the real contest seems to be between
Mr.. Brownell and Mr.. Spear. Mr..
Brownell has very wide acquaintance

State Auditor Hale.

As to our local interest in state politics
we have little to add to what we have
already said. We are fortunate in having
as candidate for state auditor man
against whom nothing has been or can
be said, and man whose work is
beyond criticism. It. was said in the
beginning oil the campaign that there
should be some changes in the incun-
bents OF the state Offices. 1t is not gen
orally considered wise to change them all
at once. No manager Of Incorporation
or leading concern would think OF chang
ing his staff except gradually as he could
adapt the changes to the condition OF
business. Besides this the declinatlon
of Treasurer Field for re election makes
the continuance of the present auditor
for another term more important than
it otherwise would be. There are many
things, tendencies and customs and in
the system OF every office that makes
experience very important to be continued
in some one as the business goes on.
Now the financial system OF the state is
largely and perhaps principally repre-
sented by the offices OF auditor and treas.
urer. To change both of those officers
at the same time would seem to be poor
policy and not in accordance with the
general practice in the state. In our
county and town matters the elections
are so made as to continue some Judge,
selectman, school director, ETC., over
changes as they are made so as to have
continuing experience and knowledge
of the current designs with reference to
the work Of the office.
Another feature is worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. Mr.. Field has voluntarily re-
tired. His place will be filled by some
competent person who in two years will
get familiar with the lines of work. Mr..
Hale will then have had his term of eight
years, equal to the rest, and will then be
retired having been treated like the rest.
So it seems to us that in fairness to our
candidate and for the interest OF the
state, and to continue the accustomed
experience of some man in the admins
tration of state affairs, that Mr.. Hale
should be renominated. - Island Pond

North Conway and the White Mountains.

The American Institute of Instruction
will hold its annual meeting in North
Conway, New Hampshire, July 5-S, 1898.
Are you going?
1t promises to be one OF the largest and
most enthusiastic meetings the Institute
has ever held. The programme is one OF
exceptional interest, embracing topics
and naming speakers sure to be helpful
and stimulating to school officials and
teachers of every grade. Manual and
moral training, art and science culture,
human interests in nature study. how to
manage troublesome children, child study,
woman's place and power in educational
affairs and the present status OF eiuca-
ton in New England are among the
topics to be presented and discussed by
the most distinguished and progressive
educators, both men and women, from
every New England state.
A SUMMER IN THE MOUNTAINS.
North Conway occupies first place in
the hearts of tourists and sojourners.
No greater variety of mountain views
and mountain climbing can be found
anywhere. In North Conway and the
adjoining villages over two thousand
guests can be easily accommodated and
in the numerous attractive places near as
many more, all within sight Of, and a
days journey to Mount Washington and
other reachable mountain SUBMITS. The
local arrangements were never more
complete and satisfactory. A reception
committe upon application will secure
entertainment at any price desired.
RATES.
Hotels and railroads offer generous re-
duction in rates, and the two afternoon
excursions, a tally-ho and Crawford
Notch by rail, at merely nominal prices,
will be greatly appreciated. For partic-
ular information as to programme, rail-
road and hotel rates, excursions, etc.,
send to the treasurer, Alvin F. Pease,
Northampton, Mass, for the sixteen
page bulletin already issued.

Honoring our TOwnsman.

The name of Hon. Henry c. Bates
Of St. Johnsbury for lieutenant-gov-
ernor has been so we'll received
throughout the state that it now
looks as if he would be nominated
by reclamation. This would be
especially pleasing to his friends at
home and we sincerely trust that this
will happen. II elected to this hon
orable position we predict he will
make one of the best presiding officers
the senate has had in recent years.
AS the st. Johnsbury delegation is
headed by Hon. Henry c. Ide he will
undoubtedly present Mr.. Bates name
to the convention and it is needless
to say that it will be handsomely
and eloquently done.

Auditor Frank d. Hale.

Whatever changes are made on the
state ticket next Wednesday there
should be no change made in the
state auditor. Frank D. Hale of
Lunenburg is entitled to re-nom-
nation and should get it. He has
held the office a shorter time than
either the secretary OF state or state
treasurer and SHOULD at least be
given anothr term. He has perform
ed his office duties faithfully and well
and should not be turned down" to
satisfy an ambitious aspirant for the
office who has been in the past well
fed at the public crib.
But chiefly no change should be
made because it is extremely poor
judgement to elect new treasurer
and new auditor the same year.
This is the strongest argument for
retaining Mr.. Hale and this will ap-
peal to the delegates as being both
good logic and good business.
We commend to our readers the
able article from the Island Pond
Herald along these lines, and we
trust that any of our readers who
may be delegate to the state con.
vention will give his hearty support
to Mr.. Hale.

For State Treasurer.

Hon. H. F. Field has announced that
he is not candidate for reelection and
the general opinion is that ]. L. Bacon of
White River Junction will be the choice Of
the conventional Bellows Falls Times.
The Burlington Free Press speaks of
the candidacy of F. E. Burgess OF its city
for the state treasuryship as a serious
matter.
The contemporary is probably mis-
taken. We still believe that Mr. Burgess
entered the race from pure kindness of
heart in the belief that no political race
can start without Burlington entry
Rutland Herald.
Mr.. Bacon is one of the rising young
men of the state, and is highly endorsed
by leading republicans throughout the
state. He will have the solid support of
the east side of the state and will un-
doubtedly get considerable following
among delegates from the west side.
Admitting all that is claimed for other
candidates, Mr.. Bacon is equally well
qualified, and his friends can urge his
candidacy on the safe ground that if the
convention dominates him and he is
elected the state will have most compe-
tent official, and the Gazette hopes to
see him nominated Richford Gazette.
One nomination in which this town
and county are deeply interested is that
of state treasurer, our fellow-citizen,
John l.. Bacon, being very prominent
candidate for the position. The office by
custom and courtesy ought to go to the
east side this time. The west side has
enjoyed it for eight years. The delegates
from this side OF the mountain line will
be unfaithlul to their constituents, and
to the spirit of fair play in the distribu
tion of state officers which has charac.
terized Vermont should they support any
candidate from the west side for that
office. Mr.. Bacon's ability to discharge
the duties OF the position is conceded by
all; his fitness never has been ques
toned. From the first he has received a
strong support from this section of Yer
mont and is gaining in strength in other
parts of the state every day. We look
upon his election as assured, so far as g
result of political struggle for public
office can be predicted. II White River

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break owl again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and 1t has never since returned"

Senator Proctor on the War.

During Senator Proctor's brief visit
to Vermont with United States Fish
Commissioner George M. Bowers of
West Virginia he told Col. George w.
Hooker of Brattleboro his opinion of
the war. He said he thought the
true policy of the government would
be to land troops in Cuba and bring
the war to close at the earliest day
possible. He said the sentiment had
been growing rapidly in congress
since Dewey's victory at Manila that
the United States must hold and con.
trvl the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico. The day of abiding by the
policy of Washington and the other
fathers with regard to letting alone
the international affairs of the world.
he said, seemed to have gone by.

Gen. circuit Speaks for Himself.

In view of the fact that the papers
supporting Judge Read have persist
emily claimed that Gen. Grout had
promised not to be a candidate in
1898, the following letter from Con-
gresham Grout in the Woodstock
Standard will be worth reading:
I wish to call attention to the article
in last weeks Standard, which stated,
among other things, that when nomi-
mated two years ago it was fairly and
squarely understood" that would not
be a candidate again; and that on the
strength Of that understanding all oppo-
sition was withdrawn. and | was given
a unanimous nomination.
This statement sounds well, but the
trouble with it is it is not true; and
feel that should do less than my duty
to my friends and to myself should / fail
to denounce it as false.
1t shows the kind of campaign the OPP.
position is making, but otthat l do not
feel al liberty to speak.
do ask, however, that whatever else
may be said of me, ] may not be un-
truthfully represented as trading my
way into a nomination two years ago,
and as now repudiating the trade by
allowing the use Of my name again.
Ny friends informed me two years ago
that all three OF the other candidates had
less than 100 votes out OF the $50 or 70,
and pray what occasion was there for a
trade?
The nomination two years ago was
the free gift of the people, the only kind
OF nomination man Of honor would
feel like accepting. Gentlemen, tell the
truth. Very truly yours,
WILLIAM w. CIRCUIT.

Why We Support Circuit.

During the heated congressional
canvass now drawing to a close the
CALIFORNIAN has given Gen. Grout
its hearty and cordial support be-
cause we have believed that he is the
strongest candidate. And this, we
fancy, is the reason why so many of
his friends have continually returned
him to congress and will nominate
him again on Tuesday, They believe
that he is the right man in the right
place and see no good reason for
making a change.
Elsewhere we publish some opin-
ions of our contemporaries upon
Gen. CIRCUITS qualifications for the
place. These will bear careful read
ing and study. They present some
strong reasons why Gen. Grout
should be returned.
