EVIDENTLY a large element OF
the Porto Rican people have long
desired annexation to the United
States. The Joy of the inhabi-
tants of Ponce and vicinity at
the arrival of the American troops
makes this fact clear. The same
sort of demonstrations will un-
doubtedly be made by the Cubans
ma the Americans march through
their Island. In Porto Rico's
case annexation will come imme-
diately, and in Cuba'sit will prob
ably not be long delayed. The
people in both islands want pro
eressive and stable government,
and the United States will fur
nish it. A large measure of home
rule will ultimately be provided
in each island. Each will have a
system of government which is
best adapted to its needs. I'm
questionably there will in the

this promise of cure believed by everybo-
dy-that if any sufferer will consult DR..
Greene at his office, "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, either personally or by
writing description of the case to DR..
Greene, and will use these wonderful
medical discoveries, these harmless yet
powerful and effective restorers of nerve
strength and physical vigor to men, he
will certainly and positively be cured.
You can consult DIR. Greene without
charge-absolutely free, whether you call
at his Office, "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, or write him a letter about your
case. All are welcome to call; or, if you
prefer, you can write, and the same care
full attention will be given your case, you
will have your symptoms and condition
explained so that you can perfectly under
stand your trouble, and the exact price
of the necessary medicines to cure will be
stated. You can, of course, adopt the use
of the medicines or not, as you choose.
Remember that DR.. Greene positively
and emphatically asserts that such cases
are perfectly durable if you will use these
wonderful health and strength giving med
icines, of the curative action OF which he
has absolute and positive knowledge. By
their use thousands of hopeless sufferers
have been made again strong, vigorous
and happy, with renewed powers, ener-
gies and ambitions, and thus restored to
their places among men. If you are wise
YOU will seize this golden opportunity to
be cured, and consult DR.. Greene without
delay.

The Argus Makes a Prediction.

The Montpelier Evening Argus of
last Saturday announced that it had
been making a careful investigation of
the gubernatOrial situation. AS re-
suit of the investigation it makes the
following statement:
In regard to the candidacy of Col.
Smith and Gen. Mccullough it can be
safely announced that the nomination
will easily go to Col. Smith. The Eve
ming Argus has conducted its inquiry as
an independent newspaper and has found
that in every section of the state, with
perhaps two exceptions, the Smith senti-
ment is so pronounced as to be unmis-
taxable.
The Argus does well to mention two
exceptions. 1t appears so sure of
everything else that it might as well
have included these exceptions. A
whole hog is a good deal better than
part of one, even in the imagination.
But the fact of the matter is that the
Argus investigation has not been care
fully made and therefore the paper is
INDUCING in considerable guessing. In
this section investigation makes it
quite plain that Mccullough is stronger
than Smith and also that the MCCul-
Tough sentiment will continue to grow
for the simple reason that in the DIS
cussion of the merits of the two candi-
dates the Bennington man has the best
of the argument by large majority.

Death of Gen. Veazey.

The people of this state received the
news of the death of Gen. Wheelock
G. Veazey with sincere regret. He
died in Washington Tuesday evening.
Gen. Veazey was the youngest of a
family of 10 children and was born in
Exeter, N. H., Dec. 5, 1885. He grad
uated from Dartmouth in the class of
1859 and then began the study of law.
In 1860 he commenced practice in
Springfield, VT. At the outbreak of
the war he enlisted as a private in Co.
A of the Sd Vermont infantry. After
a service of two years in the army he
returned to Vermont covered with lau-
rels and health badly shattered. In
1879 Gen. Veazey was appointed a
nudge of the supreme court of Yer
mont and in 1889 resigned that position
to accept an appointment from Presi-
dent Harrison as member OF the IN
terstate commission. He was judge
advocate general on the staff of Com
mauder-in-Ch Rhea of the G. A. r.
in 1887 and at the national encamp-
ment in Boston in 1890 was unanl-
mourly chosen cOmmanderin chief.
Resides the offices mentioned Gen.
Veazev has held many other response
HE positions. As a citizen, soldier,
iurist and public official he has made
record that any American citizen could
well be proud of. Gen. Veazey was
married June %. 1861, to Julia A.
daughter of Hon. Albin Beard of
Nashua. n. II. Four children blessed
the union.

Semi Centennial of the J. c. Aver
Company.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral, Sarsaparilla,
Pills and Hair Vigor are remedies we'll
known to readers of the newspapers
through the advertisements sent out
by the J. G.. Aver Co., and through the
numerous cures that these medicines
have effected. A short time ago this
company celebrated its semi-centennial
in Lowell, Mass, under the title of
1.-THE Jubilee of Ayers Sarsaparilla-
Fifty Years of Cures" The j. G. Aver
Co. was founded by DR.. j. c. Aver,
who began life as a poor boy. In 1888
he entered an apothecary store in Low
ell, later studied medicine and then
purchased drug store. He soon put
upon the market Cherry Pectoral,
which was followed by the other rem
edies. Next came the establishment
of the J. c.. Aver Co., which is now one
of the largest and probably the oldest
proprietary medicine house in the
country. A half century of progressive
development in the patent medicine
business is a record this company may
well be proud of and plainly tells the
merit of the articles they place before
the public.

Mccullough for Governor.

For many years the editor of this
paper has known and admired General
John G. Mccullough of Bennington,
and since becoming well acquainted
with him by closer contact the feel
ing of esteem and respect for his abili-
ty and virtues has been constantly
augmented. We expressed to him
more than ten years ago, which has
been repeated many times since, the
hope that he would consent to having
his name presented as gubernatorial
candidate on the Republican ticket.
He has at all times received such eX-
pressions of our regard courteously,
but has never until recently even re-
motely intimated that he would ever
be a candidate. He seemed ever ready
to lend his aid to the advancement of
his state, and the ambition of others in
this direction, impressing us with his
high ideas of what citizen should al
ways be, patriot, and not. a self
seeker after public position. We per-
sonally know that it is only through
the urgent desire of a multitude of
prominent men throughout the State
that he now becomes a candidate. 1t
is not necessary for us to say that he
deserves the nomination over any 9TH
err candidate mentioned. A COMPARE
son of his public services and business
success with that of his rival for the
nomination, as shown in the impartial
sketches published in these columns
last week, will convince any one who
will study them closely that he is far
and away entitled to the endorsement
of the voters of this commonwealth
for this exalted position.
The OPINION takes the ground that
1t is privilege to have the opportuni-
ty of aiding in the elevation of such
splendid self-made man to the COVER
norship. Mccullough started at the
very foot of the ladder, without the
guiding influence of either father or
mother, and won distinction in every
avenue of life that he has travelled.
A brilliant orator, able lawyer. capa-
bic farmer, successful manxfA turer,
banker railroad man, and abSvW all a
genuine gentleman. 1t can be also
added that by his voluntary acts he
can Justly be called a philanthropist.
We believe as the campaign progresses
and the people learn from the public
print the notable record made by him,
that sentiment will so strongly crystal
ize in his favor that his nomination
will be foregone conclusion long be-
fore the convention is held.

East COrinth,

After a time their nerve and mental
strength will be impaired, and their en-
duranCe and power to work, read or study
diminished. Where formerly they cou d
endure many consecutive hours of close
application of the mind they now find
that the thoughts wander, and there is in
ability to fix the mind for any length of
time upon one subject. With this there
is an extremely nervous and irritable con-
dition, or dull, cloudy sensation, often ac-
companied by disagreeable feelings in the
head and eyes Lack of inclination for
company and desire to be alone mark this
stage of the disease.
AS these symptoms increase there is
usually arrangement of the digestive Or
gans. There is often bad taste in the
mouth in the morning. There will be at
times a pain in the back, the vision be-
comes dim, the memory is impaired and
there is frequent dizziness. Persons thus
afflicted are often respondent and suffer
from gloom and depression of the mind.
The nerves become so weakened after
time that the least excitement or shock
will flush the face or bring on tremor or
trembling often attended by more or less
palpitation of the heart.
DR.. Greene expresses no blame for the
victims of this insidious disease, for he
realizes that this sad condition results
from thoughtless ignorance of the conse-
quences, and therefore merits and should
have the deepest sympathy of the physi-
clan, and should be treated in perfect con-
fidence and cured with absolute secrecy.
And it is in regard to the treatment and
cure of this affection that DR.. Greene
spoke most forcibly, strongly and with
positive knowledge. When he made the
assertion that he had discovered medicines
which surely and with absolute certainty
cure this disease, no one doubted that it
was the grand truth that he spoke, that
he had, indeed, from his wide experience
in the treatment of this class of cases, his
vast research and investigation among
harmless vegetable medicines, discovered
perfected and prepared remedies absolute
ly certain to cure.

What Proctor Saw IN Cuba.

Many Americans have believed that
the reports of starvation, desolatlon
and misery sent from Cuba by news
paper correspondents were largely eX-
aggerated, and invented for sensation
al purposes. They could not believe
that a people so near home could be in
such a terrible condition. Senator
Proctor in an address in the senate
last week Thursday described in a
clear, concise and able manner the con-
dition of the Cubans as he had seen
them. He himself expected to ind
when he left this country for Cuba
that the stories of starvation were eX-
aggerated. On the contrary, he found
the conditions worse if anything than
the reports of the newspaper cores
pOndents. He saw miles OF devastated
territory, looked upon many people on
the very point Of dying of starvation
and heard the story of how hundreds
and thousands had already died from
want of food. His address made a
deep impression and the question as to
the condition of the Cubans is now a
settled thing. Concentration and
desolation" is evidently the Spanish
method in dealing with the Cubans
and this means starvation. Senator
Proctor in his speech admitted that he
had conferred with President Nc
Kinley before leaving for Cuba, but
only to inquire if it was advisable for
him to take the trip. Vermonters are
pleased to have one so closely con-
nected with the affairs of the govern
ment as Senator Proctor visit the much
discussed island and satisfy the mind
of the whole country in regard to the
true condition of the people there.
Our little commonwealth leads, as
usual, in usefulness to the country in

The GOvernOrship.

We have seen some articles on one OF
two of our exchanges on the question OF
the residence of General J. q. McCul-
Tough, whose name has been mentioned
as a candidate for Governor, in which it
is asserted he is a resident of New York.
We believe in fair play and have taken
pains to inform ourselves as to the facts
relating to the residence of General Nc
Cullough.
He came from California to North Ben
ningtOn quarter of century ago and
has made his home there ever since. He
has voted and paid his poll tax and all
other taxes there the same as any other
citizen of the town, He married his wife
at her home in North Bennington and his
children were born there. He has large
business and property interests in the
town, county and state, second to those
of no other resident in the county. The
town of Bennington has repeatedly made
him her delegate to the county and state
conventions and he has been chairman of
each The state has made him her dele
gate to two National Conventions. He
has always been firm adherent to the
principles of the Republican party and
has given freely of his time and means for
unfolding and extending its doctrine in
the state.
He was largely instrumental in procur-
ing the donation of the Soldiers Home to
the state of Vermont and was one of the
donors.
1t is true he was born in Delaware, and
it is also true that of the Al Governors
Vermont has had only 10 who were born
in the state of Vermont and that our
present chief magistrate was not even
born in the United States.
General Mccullough has business and
business interests that require some of
his time and attention outside of the
state, but he never made his home, voted
or paid poll or personal property tax in
the state of New York. We believe that
he is Vermonter, alive to all the in
terests of Vermont, fearless, able and in
Observation-Disclosures Sitter.
