Tenure of Office.

We must take issue with the Watch.
man in its plea for a retention of thu
old board of state officers-not espe.
cially on account of the personnel OF the
board or preference for any rival,
but because of the principle laid down
by the contemporary. This seems t.
be in effect that public officials should
be retained in Office for life or during
good behavior, the same as the officers
of a bank or railroad corporation.
From this we most emphatically dis
sent. The whole theory of republican
government is opposed to it. Were
such an idea followed to its logical con-
clusion, we should see all our offices,
national, state and municipal, held by
practically the same set of men year
after year, except as they might be
displaced by another equally exclusive
set representing opposing ideas. The
same party would always renominate
the same old board and caucuses and
conventions would be next to useless,
since a candidate would have to be
VIGOROUSLY unfit before he would be
supplanted by another. We should
have an office-holding a%ristocracy then
in real earnest. better fitted to serve a
medieval people than our modern
American citizenship.
There is no means of knowing,
either, whether a new man would not
be more satisfactory than al old one
except by trying. Experience has
shown that rotation in office is one of
the very best incentives for the sins"
to do their duty, as well as for the
'.outs" to strive to prepare themselves
for higher places in life. 1t is a pro-
gressive principle. There is more
sense, to use a homely Illustration, in
a thirsty horse trying to get a drink
than for a horse that has been well
supplied trying to keep the other away
from the trough. The "outs" have a
right to demand admission OCCASION
ally and the Gins should not object to
their station outside. Party
work is sure to be better done if the
hope of reaping reward is fairly held
out to all and not arrogated to a few.
As to the state offices there is not
one of them that a bright man with
some kindred experience cannot fill
creditably. We have plenty of bright
men who deserve the honor. 1t is idle
suppose that some blind chance has
directed us to the only set of individ-
lals whom it would be safe TO entrust
With the reins of state. There are as
rood fish in the sea as eve were
Having had a fair nibble at
he public crib. no fault should be
ound with any movement calculated
o supplant the old board with new
md good men.

CANCER.

Mrs, II. S. Smith. a sister Of Mrs. Nathan
Kendall OF Enosbnrgh Falls, came t. me a year
AGO when / first visited Enosburgh Falls. On
examination | found an open sore in the right
breast. The sore was about two sizes larger
than a silver dollar, with ragged, unhealthy
edges, and was ~discharging and odorous. She
stated that she had had two operations for the
removal Of cancers from that breast; had
shown it to the family physician, who told her
it was a cancer and that he was sorry, as moth
ing could be done. Today the sore is entirely
healed and Mrs Smith says she feels ten years

Warl


Yes, war.
The day-dream of the reckless and
impetuous; the nightmare of the
thoughtful and the timid.
A thing to be dreaded even above
famine or pestilence, and yet an agen'
cy more powerful than all else human
in directing the world we live in.
1t is a dream no longer, but Il reali-
ty. Those who have longed for IL
chance to initiate the valorous deeds
of Others on the battlefield have but to
announce themselves. The recruiting
stations are open. To those of a more
serious turn of mind a different pros
pect invites. They see the horror and
suffering, rather than the fame and
glory.
To all it is an hour that comes but
once in a lifetime. Yet come it does,
once at least (and seldom oftener) in
every generation. Whether by chance
or the outcropping of orr brute nature
none can say. The day OF universal,
everlasting peace is still as far away
as ever.
As to this war with Spain, future
historians viii disagree. BY some the
United States viii be lauded for cham
pioning the cause of d~owntrodden and
abused humanity at immense loss and
cost to itself and without the least sp-
portunity for self-gain. BY others its
conduct will be denounced as meddle-
some and quarrelsome, unsatisfied
with anything Spain could do Or offer
from the mere fact of its hostility and
distrust of Spain herself.
1t is the first offensive war we have
ever waged against a power worthy of
measuring strength with us. Mexico
was a mere child in our hands. Some
unpleasant surprises may be in store.
Our valor and skill with arms none
will deny, but in a foreign land under
a strange climate and in new condi-
tons no one can foresee what will
happen. ave that sooner or later the
and stripes will triumph. De-
feat, reverse, Encouragement may
come. but never a dishonorable peace.
Those who were most reluctant to have
war begin and who think it might
have been averted will be the last to
propose peace without honor.
Now that the Rubicon is crossed,
there will be but n spirit %animating
every breast-an intense, undying,
lnquenchable determination to con-
luer. To that end every mind and
Energy is bent.
Vermont will do her share.

Bro. Parker's newly-established ed
itorial department is making up in
earnestness what it has lost by long
silence. Last week the Opinion
sprung two booms, one Tor Caleb c.
Sargent of Corinth for lieutenant gov
ernor and the other for James X. Me-
Lam of Topsham for state senator.
Mr.. Sargent would make n pretty
good presiding officer of the Senate,
but no better than Messrs. Bates or
Holton, who have the benefit of wider
experience in this particular line, es-
pecially Mr.. Bates, whose chance for
nomination is considered very good.
We have understood that Mr.. McLam
was a candidate for assistant judge.
If, however, he has decided to try for
the senatorship, we fear he will ex-
%perience the disappointment Of the dog
that dropped the meat and dove for the
shadow. j. Is. Pickett of Bradford
Will be the next senator from the east
side. Bro. Parker is showing a vim
dictive spirit in trying to beat his own
townsman with someone else after
coming to a realization of the fact that
he could not do it himself. The party
viii see through the little game and
speedily block it.

81 this meal. A piece Of we'll toasted
whole wheat bread, without butter, o bit
OF well ripened cheese and Q cup Of clear

TO satisfy hunger. but no more; in . few
