A LITTLE "HoRsE SENSE"

The opposition to Gen. Grout is still in
progress. but whether gaining or not we
in Barnard can hardly tell.
A very pleasant gentleman from Brat
tleboro was in town few days ago in the
interests of Judge Read OF Bellows Falls
His argument was that sixteen years OF
life in Washington had failed to make our
congressman the leader of the party.
Reed, Hit, Henderson, Dingley and Grosve-
nor still outclassed him. But he admitted
that Gen. Circuit was faithful represent
alive OF his district and state and shirked
no duties relative to his representation.
No deserving veteran of the rebellion ever
appealed to him in regard to a pension
claim but obtained his attention; but be
argues that some other man with these
years of experience could make q better
speech.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press calls at
tention to the report that Gov.elect
Lind has rendered to L. A. Rosing
the place as his private secretary,
and calls it not only a good situation,
but just recognition for faithful
work done. The Pioneer Press then
goes on to speak of the danger the
new governor is inviting by appoint
ing as his private secretary, the chair.
man Of the Democratic state CON-
mittee, no matter how deserving or
how competent he may be. In this
he is simply following in the foot
steps OF some of his Republican pre-
decessors. a custom that the fusion
lists have rallied against to such an
extent, and declared it to be the very
essence OF machine rule. In fact de.
clared that this was the very way in
which most effective and dom.
ineering machine in politics is built
up. All this is very true. And it
should be remembered that men are
not constituted particularly differ
ent even though they may belong to
different political parties, and the
danger OF the machine from that
source is just as great in one party
as in another. But it is possible, as
the Pioneer Press suggests, that in
the changed conditions which now
surround him, political machine
providing it is where his hand car
steer 1t, does not look nor seem nearly
as bad to the new governor of Mime
sofa, as when it was controlled by
Republican leaders. Such things are
apt to change the looks of things.

John st. Denis, who has been EN-.
plCyed by the Hubbard Milling Co.
for the past eleven years, left the
city in disgrace Monday night and
his whereabouts are unknown.
ST. Denis, who is about twenty
eight years Of age, entered the en-
ploy of the company first as a packer,
but two or three years ago was given
charge of the retail department.,
where his duties were to sell flour,
feed. etc., taking the money for his
sales and turning it in at the Office

Some time ago, w. L. PINCH, the

St. Denis was knocking down." or in
other words was disposing of goods
without rendering an account there.
for at the Office, poeketing the pro-
ceeds. He kept close watch on st.
Denis after that and finally caught
him at his dishonest practice last
Saturday. He accused the young
man of his wrong doing, but st.
Denis would neither confess nor deny
keeping his mouth close shut.
Monday. Mr.. Palmer had talk
with st. Denis in the Office, and the
latter confessed that he had been
knocking down" at intervals during
period covering the past six!o or eight
months. He thought that his pecula-
tions amounted to about $40. He said
that his plan was to pass a sack of
flour or other article to a confederate
without receiving a ticket for it. The
confederate had wagon and would
cart off the goods, sell them, and the
two would divide the money. He
gave the name of his confederate.
Mr.. Palmer did not inform st.
Dennis what the company would do
about the matter, but the man evil
IDENTIFY, became frightened at the
prospect of exposure and possible
prosecution. and he has not been
seen since Monday. night. It is be-
lieved that he has left the city for
parts unknown.
st. Denis has q wife and two chill
dren living in the north part of the
city. He has been drinking some OF
late, aud this is believed to have been
the cause of his downfall.

Wharton Barker says that China is

Wharton Barker says that China is
on thelverge of trade expansion, but
says it Is from within and not from
without. Those who go there with
the energy, ability and cspital, will
gather in great fortunes. But he
thinks that countries outside will not
reap the wealth from trade with her
that they are counting upon. China
has vast resources and he thinks these
resources will be developed to her
own advantage, rather than to that of
the outside world. This may be true,
yet the outside world is bound to'be
the gamer from the development of
these resources, and the greater they
are, the greater will be the benefits
gained outside. China can have no
great awakening in commercial
sense, that will not increase her trade
with the world around her.

On the Curb.

A gentleman who is we'll posted on
state politics stated Wednesday that
he was not so sure but that Gen. E.
M. Pope would be appointed on the
railroad commission, after all. The
action taken Saturday by Gov. Clough,
in appointing'l Nate Kingsley to fill
out the unexpired term of the late
Judge Whytock, of Albert Lea, and
appointing Judge Ira B. Mills to fill
Mr.. Kingsley's unexplred term on the
railroad commission, changes the COM
plection of things. There is now no
reason why a man from this section
of the state should not be placed up
on the board next January, and the
gentleman mentioned believed that
Gen. Pope's chances are good.

1t is reported from Washington that

1t is reported from Washington that
30, 900 or 10000 more troops will be
mustered out of service as soon after
the signing of the treaty of peace
with Spain, as selections can be made.
Whether those going out will include
any from Manila or not, is not known.
1t is given out, however, that none
will be taken from there except they
are replaced by other troops. AS
those there are getting acclimated,
and are doubtless better prepared to
stand the climate there than would
be the case with fresh troops, it would
seem the most sensible way to retain
them there, though of course it would
be more pleasant for their friends to
have them at home. But it should
be recalled that the boys we're just as
anxious to receive, orders to go there
as they are now to come home. AS
Spain has acceded to the demands of
this country in the cession Of the
Philippines, it would seem that the
most practical solving of the question
would be for congress, which meets
next Monday, to make provision for a
sufficient force Of the regular army to
be raised and sent there for perma-
5nent occupation. A move of this
kind ought to be carried out so that
the volunteers at Manila could return
by spring at the latest. And any pro-
vision that is made for the permanent
garrison of the islands should contain
clause providing for the enlistment
of natives to be Differed by Ameri-
cans, at such q time as it is deemed
practical, by those In command.

The Minneapolis Journal In com.
menting upon what has been said
against the present form of official
ballot and the assertions that it
should be changed to the blanket
style, because of the great disadvan
tage under which candidates we'll
down on the ticket seem to be under,
by the voter neglecting to vote for
them, especially in case where they
vote collectively for two or more can
didates for similar offices, as in the
case of legislative candidates, or for
judges, says:
ut is question, however, whether
it is better to reform the ticket or re-
form the voter. The object of requir-
ing cross opposite the name Of each
candidate voted for was to develop in.
telligent discrimination on the part
of the voter and place each candidate
upon his own merits. Undoubtedly
this plan requires greater degree of
intelligence, and more thorough
understanding of the duties of the
citizen as voter. And while it Is
true that some candidates will, for a
time at least, suffer a disadvantage
because of their position on the ticket.
there is a question whether, on the
whole, the public would be best served
by abandoning the present plan and
returning to the scheme of permitting
a straight ticket to be voted by mark
ing the first name on the ticket"
1t would seem to US to be a great
deal more sensible to reform the voter
than to tinker with the ballot. The
change in the ballot would not be in
the direction CT reform, but just the
opposite. An intelligent discrimina-
tion on the part of the voter is far
more to be desired than step back
ward. 1t has been suggested that in
struction in voting the Australian
ballot might proftably be given in
the advanced grades in the public
schools. Doubtless this is true, and
If it were done, the army of voters
that would appear upon the scene of
action during the next few years
would be better able to vote intelli-
gently and more satisfactory results
wouldtcome from the ballot as now
constituted, than from that of the
blanket style. 2@
