A FrIendly Ceremony In ola cubn.

When an acquaintance visits a pri-
vate residence, cigars are handed round
on q silver salyer; II the visitor be an
intimate friend, one of the young girls
of the family, called a "donzalla," lights
cigar and giving II few draws to
get well lighted, gracefully presents 1t
to him. If the guitar is brought in, as
usually occurs Cfor there is one in every
house), and the visitor plays, his cigar
is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at
each pause in the music she politely
hands 1t TO the guest, This may occur
several times in an evening. and this
friendly ceremony is pleasant enough
when the cigar comes from the pouting
lips of a rich Spanish beauty just ripen-
ing into womanhood, but in any case II
must be thankfully accepted.--Jona'

could be found. Very little stock was offered

usual condition of affairs for the close of the

FRIDAY, APRIL s, 1898.

WITHDRAWAL OF GEN. MCCULLOUGH.
A letter is published this week by Gen.
Mccullough of Bennington, addressed
to the different daily papers of Vermont,
Withdrawing his name as candidate for
governor. We think MIR. Mccullough is
correct that this is not a favorable time
for his candidacy, for the citizens of
Vermont have had no opportunity to
know what are Gen. McCullough's views
on the great questions now confronting
the American people. We refer especial
ly to Cuban affairs, and the currency.
On the state temperance issue letter
has been published from Gen. McCul-
Tough stating that he was willing to sup
port either side, for prohibition or license,
as the people should express their wish !;
but with nothing from him on the
Cuban or currency question, it was
naturally felt that being a man of large
wealth, closely identified with New York
city interests, he represented the city
monied interest, which not only would
like to accept the gold standard, but is
unquestionably and emphatically OPP
posed to the recognition of Cuban in.
dependence. That is it is opposed to the
assertion of American policies in any
direction, whether of domestic or foreign
affairs. The gold standard party of
which such eminent Democrats as Mr.
Cleveland, Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Palmer and
Mr. Phelps are sponsors, is in all respects
antl-American, and in the present emer-
gency as regards Cuba, peace at any
price party.
1t is perfectly safe to say that no man
supposed to represent this line of policy
could possible receive at this time the
Republican nomination for governor.
And therefore we think Gen. McCul-
Tough has acted most wisely in with
drawing his name from the canvass.
Had conditions been different he would
have undoubtedly been strong can
didate.

BICYCLES AND ROAD LAWS.


Now that the bicycle season has fairly
opened the subject of sidewalk riding
becomes once more an tissue" in Middle
bury. 1t will be Of interest to call the
attention of the cycle-riders to the fact
that the l.. 4. W. has from its inception
years ago been engaged i'm a constant
fight throughout this country to secure
for tie bicycle a legal classification as
vehicle. with the rights thereto apper-
tanning. A bicycle cannot at one and
the same time enjoy the privileges legally
accorded to a road-vehicle and to BABY
perambulator. 1t rests with the wheel
men which is accorded them. The l.. 4.
w. maintains that the rights of the road
are infinitely to be preferred to the tran
silent Joys of a short strip of smooth side
walk, and Its local consuls have every
where appealed for legislation along that
line-and got it in most cases.
The value of such legislation is not
purely sentimental. When the enthusi-
astic wheelman finds himself miles in the
country, pumping along at an eXhlarat-
ing rate and thoroughly enjoying him
self, it is not pleasant to be compelled to
"back-pedaln and dismount TO allow
farm wagons to pass on the single road.
And if the same Wheelman, while on a
village street. should have collision
with millionaire drayman, and his '9S
model, as a result, resemble the popular
conception of the European situation
all tangled up-it is not pleasant to have
his visions of mulcting the millionaire
drayman in $4,000 damages dashed by
ascertainng that he had no right on the
streets with a wheel which he has in
sisted 'on frequently riding where only
pedestrians and -perambulators have
rights.
On the other hand, if the local wheel
man will keep to the streets and demand
that their wheels he recognized as road
vehicles in our ordinances, every driver
of team will be compelled to give them
half the road on meeting, and will be
liable for damages resulting from neglect
to observe the road-laws.
We don't know just what advantages
accrue to those who prefer the baby car
riage classification, beyond the before
mentioned Joys of short strip of asphalt
sidewalk; but possibly there is great en-
joyment incident upon just missing kill
ing a lame old man who is unable to get
out of the way in time.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
NOTHING BUT WAR TALK AGOG IN
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

There is No Indication That the Statesmen
and Lobby Orators VIII Tire of the Topic
President Mckinley Stands the Strain
Well, But He is Earning His Salary.
Especial CorrespondenceO
Washington.-Ther is no indication
that the National capitol is likely soon
to be interested in anything less excit-
ing than talk of war preparations, adj
ministrative policies, diplomatic en-
deavors to bring about peace with
honor" and the efforts of politicians
and so-called Statesmen" to thwart
the best efforts of the wise and pru-
dent. For so general has become the
interest in the Cuban situation that all
business in and out of the departments
of the Government is arrested, with the
promise that continued interruption
will renew these complaints about
stagnation that were suspended when
the administration of President McKin-
ley succeeded that of Mr.. Cleveland.
To men of all parties there has been
satisfaction in the fact that President
Mckinley has been so tactful and will
ing to appear to desire assistance from
all sides. BY those Democrats who
have been asked to call upon the Pres
ident and give him the benefit of their
advice in an emergency, the attention
has been accepted in the spirit in
which it was extended. Major McKin-
ley sends for Senator Gray and Sena-
tor German, for Representatives Say
ers and Bailey, who are recognized as
Democratic leaders, and asks for their
advice and suggestions. lie submits
to them in advance his plans and pur-
poses and invites their criticism with
as much frankness and freedom as he
uses with Mr. Allison, Nh Reed or Mr.
Cannon. This is a good thing for the
country particularly at the present
emergency.
