but he is, in fact, one of the republican
leaders of the House.
And rot only his usual industry and
ability OF a high order have helped make
republican leadership possible; addi-
tionally he has presented in speeches
practical phases OF national life, and
matters pertaining to decent industries,
in way to insure him national reputa-
ton. Millions OF one OF his speeches were
distributed effectively in the national
campaign. But do not need to even
seem to praise the representation YER
mont so well knows. 1t is, after honesty
and ability, experience which desire to
commentator l have seen enough the
limp impotency of official greenness.
The fact is not difficult of perception,
now that an international crisis is upon
US, that this experience is in way to
count for the whole country, just as it
has furnished most examples Of wisdom
in legislation and administration. 1t is
needed in congress as truly as in the
army and navy. ] believe Vermont and
Montpelier did not propose to recall
Dewey from the command Of his feet, for
the benefit OF some other honorable but
less experienced son who was waiting his
turn. 1t therefore has one OF the most
splendid naval victories of all time to the
credit of one Of its sons. Honors are
hard to distribute-they are consuma
ton OF wild rooted growth; the bios
som of the aloe.

Absolutely False.

The papers that are supporting
Judge Read for congress in this dis
trict are making a great deal Of cap
ital about an alleged understanding
or notice on Gen. CIRCUITS part two
years ago that he would not be a
candidate again. This has been
widely circulated and probably be-
lieved by many honest citizens. They
reason that il Gen. Grout notified his
friends that this was his last term it
is breach of faith to stay in the con-
test now. This would be true if Gen.
Grout had made any such declara-
ton two years ago, but the facts of
the case are that there was no I'M
Outstanding among the candidates
and Gen. Grout made no promises
or pledges. Out of four candidates
then there was so little opposition
to Gen. Grout that the others did
not let their names go before the
convention. 1t is silly to claim that
he received the nomination as sort
of gift from the other candidates,
when if a vote had been taken his
three opponents would not have
received more than a third OF the
entire number OF votes OF the dele
gates, and it is absolutely false to
claim in 1898 that Gen. Grout prom
ised in 1896 he would never be can
didate again. Letus have an honest
and fair contest, and not becloud the
issue with any alleged trades or
promises that were never made or
even contemplated.

Circuit or Reed?
A Uaited Support.

There seems to be united support for
Congressman Grout in this section and
we predict that he will have an easy fight
in the convention to the nomination. He
is not lingo nor peace without honor
patriot. He is true American. Return
him to Washington.-[ Barre Enterprise.
Not crowding Himself to the Front.
We do not think that Gen. Grout has
any desire to thrust himself upon the
people il the time has come when they
wish him to retire, or if they feel that
some one else could better fill his place,
but we do believe that large majority
OF the voters of the second district will be
found in opposition to the idea of turning
down man who has served them we'll
and faithfully. for a new man at such a
critical time as this, when the country
needs the counsel OF its best and most
experienced legislators Barton Mont
| tor.
Why Gen. Circuit Should be Returned.
Gen. Grout as candidate for re. election
needs no newspaper eulogy. He has
served his district faithfully. He has la.
bored for what seemed to him to be the
best interests Of his state and his country
He has not, it is true, been a great
orator, but when he has advocated a
measure on the floor of the House it has
been done in way to command atten
ton. His work on committees has beer
carefully and conscientiously done. He
is honored and respected by his colleagues
and his influence among them is recog.
nized. In fact, all this is admitted by
whatever opposition is now arrayed
against him. Mortified News.

Retired with a Record.

Col. Dunwoody is to be congrat-
ulated on his retirement from the
Weather Bureau to take a military
post. He has seen good deal Of
weather, and he has forcasted and
predicted weathers of many kinds Of
badness. but to really sensitive
meteorologist this present regretable
month must give profound pain. 1t
would be too much to ask that the
month of May should be crowned
with posies, but May soaked from
head to toe, dishevelled, dank, slop-
py. the steam OF perpetual rain ooz
ing from her shapeless garments, her
goloshed feet dumping through the
mud-Alas! Alas! No respectable
person would wish to have anything
to do with such abandoned weather.
Col. Dunwoody is fortunate, and it
has now rained for 365 consecutive
years. New York Sun.

Shameful

A Spaniard is a native of Spain,
but his son, il born in Cuba, is a
Cuban, and has no rights whatever
as Spaniard, though he live in
Spain; and his children and grand
children, though born in Spain, are
not Spaniards but Cubans. No Gu
ban or his descendants can ever have
the rights of Spanish citizenship.
From the Spanish standpoint Gu
ban is degenerate, unworthy Of
citizenship. There is little wonder
that Cubans hate the hand that
smites them. Contrast Spanish poll
ty with English England never lost
a colony except the United States
while Spain has lost nearly every
thing and bids fair to lose all except
as she would say, her honor.

gallant colonel OF the Fifteenth Regiment

for the repulse OF Picketts charge at Get

dian frontier. In 1865 and 1866 he
served as states attorney, and repre-

1870 and 1874; and in 1879 was sena'

ninth congress and, as the records show,
has served on large number of the most
important committees.
1t was certainly no disgrace Tor a
drafted man to 60 into the army and
even drafted man may make brave and
honored soldier, but it can never appeal
to the volunteer veteran OF score OF bat
ties to learn, when man asks support
for an important office and uses the Grand
Army button as one of the levers to
advance him, that that man did not go
into service OF his own free will but was
drafted and went because he could not
avoid it.

There is hardly a citizen of this
state that does not recognize in the
likeness above the efficient and active
congressman from the second Yer
mont district, Gen. w. w. Grout.
While some papers and some citizens
have attempted to belittle him in the
eyes Of the voters by silly references
to his garden seed distribution and
other routine work that falls to the
lot of all members Of the house, the
readers of the CALIFORNIAN know the
General too we'll to be led astray by
any such clap-trap arguments. 1t
seems to be the opinion of some
friends OF the other candidate, most
estimable and able lawyer, that be-
cause Gen. Grout has served 16years
in congress that his days OF useful
ness are over and that he has ex.
hausted his mental and statesman
like faculties. We look upon con-
gress as school for statesmen and
the longer a man is kept there, if he
is an active and ambitious member,
the more useful he becomes to his
constituents, his state and the ma.
ton. In the time of one OF the most
critical periods in the nations his.
tory, when the manifest destiny" is
showing fields of conquest in both
the Atlantic and Pacific seas, surely
this is the time when we need in our
congress tried leaders; meu who
know the history of national legla
ton; men who are close touch with
the men who blaze the way for the
rest. Such a man is Congressman
Grout, a man who has been tried ant
not found wanting; man who
knows every leader in the house anc
senate; a man who is regarded il
Washington as one of the leaders
himself; a man who is one OF Speakel
Reeds warmest and most trustee
friends, and who has followed thu
trend OF public affairs from his Wash
ington home through eight sessions
of its national bodies. A brave sol
der. a conservative banker, we'll
read lawyer and last but not least {
successful farmer, does anyone fea
to trust such a man with the respon
sibilities and duties OF the office which
he has so capably filled in the past
A new man from the second district
be he ever so polished, learned ant
eloquent, could not make his infu
ence felt in the coming congress be
cause he would enter as an untrie(
man. At this time we should hest
tate before we made change.

A Warm Tribute to General circuit.

The st. Adams Messenger recently
published an interesting letter from
its old.time editor, Almont Barnes OF
Washington, in which he paid warm
tribute to the present congressman
of the second Vermont district. The
voters of the district will be especially
interested in that part of the letter
which refers to Gen. Grout, which
here follows:
| have the Partially of soldier for
this gentleman; for have not yet
seen northern soldiers too well considered
in the distribution of Offices, and the time
is limited, very limited, now, in which we
old fellows can rejoice to see worthy COM
rades honored, and doing honoring ser
vice. Gen. CIRCUITS experience as a fight
ing soldier makes him valuable as legis.
lator to the government in military mat
tiers, and to ex-soldier constituents. His
experience as lawyer and state legis-
lator has its usual effect upon his natural
fitness, and over all this he wears as
modestly but manfully the valuable and
not to be inherited legislative experience
of over seven terms. As member near
the head OF the great committee on ap.
preparations he is entrusted with the I'M
portant bills relating to the District Of
Columbia, and good will (which also is
witness to high standing) gives him the
craftsmanship Of less important com.
mittee. do not suppose the general
would claim it-rather the contrary
