DON'T BUY A BICYCLE

unless you know the makers to be sound
reliable house-one that has business stand
ing, and is ready, and willing to back up their
product and always give honest goods and full
value. There is more opportunity for mis-
representation and poor value in bicycles than
in any other article. There are some unwise
dealers who look only to this years sales and
next year shift to another make and the next to
still another. Poor policy for the dealer, but
much poorer for the buyer. In your selection
you cannot exercise too much caution, but

1t is proposed by the Essex Record to
fill the place of state auditor on the repub
lican ticket with the name of Hon. y. M 4.
Barber OF Arlington and Bennington, whose
candidacy seems likely to be very favor
ably received by the state press. The
Rutland Herald says, "A!l right! Mr..
Barber has ability and popularity we be-
lieve that he would be an auditor who
would audit, and it is safe to say that this
part of the state will give him ready and
strong support"
Now that Spain has sent back the recon
centradoes to their homes and made an
appropriation to support them until they
are able to care for themselves, while she
freely allows us to help them all we like
with gifts of food and clothes and medi-
cines now that she has declared an armis-
tice-a cessation of hostilities on her part
in compliance with our demands; now
that she has expressed willingness to
arbitrate the Maine matter, certainly a
proper subject for arbitration, it is ques.
toned, by some of our wisest statesmen,
too, what there is left to Justify Uncle
Sans armed Intervention in Cuba9 What
casus belli he can allege to the waiting and
observing nations of the earth, when "a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires" that he should declare the causes
that impel him to war.
