flee is the inspiration of our present

these Irish-Americans have of late years
been voting the Republican ticket, their
protest over present conditions cannot
fail to be loud and deep.
below all this, with the business men

settled policy of the government will be
seen more clearly from day to day. With

substantially ended only to find the
country in a condition of war with the

will constantly be obliged to call upon
congress to furnish means for the con-
duct of this war. He will also see that
he and his successors In his great office
will find themselves involved in every
complication of Oriental policies and
politics and that as we have for fifty
years seen all Europe either engaged in
war or finishing war, or expecting and
preparing for war, while we have been
prospering in peace, the same conditions
will apply here and that there will be no

\ Recent events showed that camp is
more dangerous than a battle. Not only
in the army, but in ordinary life, more
lives are lost by needless disregard of
the beginnings of poor health than by
all other causes combined.
Dyspepsia or nervousness is absolutely
ineXcusable now. There is no more
reason for man or woman eating with
poor appetite or sleeping poorly or suf-
fering continually from neuralgia or
rheumatism today than there is of his or
her going without the necessities of life.
Every candid person who has dragged
along, under the depressing effects of
nerve and brain exhaustion, needs to
take to heart the words of such unbiased
persons as Senator Tabor, who cannot
afford to attach their guarantee to any
thing they have not themselves in
vestigated.

SENATOR HALE OPPOSES.

Says Philippine Annexation Is Not Sure to
Follow Action at Paris.
A Washington despatch under date of
Dec. . says; Senator Eugene Hale
(Rep., Maine) has announced his oppo-
sltion to the peace treaty which is being
formulated in Paris. He is opposed to
the acquisition of the Philippines.
"The negotiation of the treaty." said
the senator, shy no means insures the
actual annexation of the Philippine
Islands. 1t is uncertain when the treaty
will be submitted to the senate, and still
more uncertain whether it will ever be
ratified. The responsibility is so vast
and the solicitude of the public so great
that ample time will be given to its dis
cussion and to getting the real facts be-
fore the American people,
ut is by no means unlikely that with
in six months or year everybody, In
stead of being for annexation of the
islands, will want to be we'll rid of them.
The people of the United States will find
out that the commerce of the Philippines
Is very limited in extent. that they are
inhabited by race of people whose hab-
its and wants forbid an Increase of trade,
and that under the scheme of annexa-
ton presented to us, this trade is to be
shared equally with Spain and all other
competing nations. The entire trade of
the islands, if we had it all, not the prof
it derived from 1t, but the whole amount
of trade, will not in any year pay the ex-
penses of the army and navy that the
United States will be obliged to maintain
there.
"The people will see at once sprung
upon congress a proposition for stand
army of 100 900 men, costing yearly more
than 100000 900, and naval increase of
from $l5,000,000 to $50, 900, 900 a year in
addition all of which must come by levy
of taxation. Not only will no war tax
be repealed, but the present tax must be
increased.
"The people of the Pacific coast will
find out that if we admit 100000 or TO-,
10000 of Malays, Tagals and NegritOs
to become part of our country and tC
have some or all the privileges of citizen
ship, we must necessarily give to the
Chinese who are already in this country
the same privileges. The people of the
South will find out that the admission o.
these alien races to the United States will
be another added intensification Of thu
race problem which is today standing
menace in our own borders. The grea
Irish American element of our population
will find out that, Notwithstanding Lore

Or. VAN DYKE ON EXPANSION.

The Burlington Free Press says: The
majority of the Protestant clereymen
seem to see nothing in the Philippines
but an attractiYe field for Christian mis-
sionary effort, diynely opened to the
United States, the cost Of exploiting
which 1t would be sin to count. There
are, however. numerous and important
exceptions, Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke
of the Brick Presbyterian church in New
York is one of these. His views upon
any public subject are generally worth
needing. In his sermon on Thanksgiv-
ing day he said
Undoubtedly we have incurred respon.
sibiities in the late war Equally without
doubt is 1t that these responsibilities are not
unlimited. They are bounded on the one
side by duty, the question whether it is a
duty to part with our birthright; on the other
by our abilities 1t is nevera duty to attempt

The value of the weather service of the
government was never better illustrated
than on the occasion of last Sundays big
blow. Nearly twelve hours notice was
given the shipping interests along the
coast of the approach of the hurricane.
1t is possible.that the terrible experience
of the previous week disposed the mar
liners to give greater heed to the warning
than might otherwise have been the case.
Be that as it may, while the wind was as
great as on the previous occasion, the
loss to the shipping was comparatively
small. 1t is noted by the observer at
Washinton that his Office sent to the
Boston office of the Inflated portland"
a warning message, which, had 1t been
needed, would have kept that vessel in
port.

in the state at 2377. There are II grad
ed schools. The school census report
indicates 90,3SS children of school age

In the county, the cost of maintaining
the schools is greatest in Vergennes,
being Sl7.SS per pupil, which gives YER
gennes rank of 6 in the whole state in
point of cost. The lowest is Hancock
with $S.S2 per pupil. Mlddlebury stands
second in the county with $l5.07 per

Do you suffer from insomnia? Are
you one of those much to-be-pitied in
dIviduals who wrestle with the pillow
through the long hours of the night and
rise in the morning with haggard fea-
lures and hollow eyes? If so, take ad-
vantage Of the remarkable power of this
greatest of all remedies for restoring
strength.
Paine's celery compound Gains and
equalizes all the nervous tissues and in
duces the body to take on solid flesh.
Nervous debility causes timidity, de-
preston, and lack of confidence in the
struggle of life; whereas plenty of
nervous force insures self reliance
and prosperity. In untold number of
cases the lack of success can easily be
traced to simple lack of nerve force.
There is no better foundation for per-
manent good health, or a better prepar-
alton for coping with the hard work and
taxing strain of life than rich, red, pure
blood and plenty of it, acquired by use
of Paine's celery compound.
Physicians recognize Paine's celery
compound as the one scientific remedy
for restoring health and strength to the
WORKOUT system.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER o, 1898.

We devote considerable space this week
to the presidents message. The excep-
tional nature of the occasion gives it an
interest and an importance greater than
has been attached to any similar doc
ument for nearly half century. The
subjects discussed have for the most
part been uppermost in the minds of
the people for many months; and the
treatment accorded by congress to the
few suggestions madeI by the chief eX-
ecutive will be watched with the keenest
interest by the people.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is on
ly one way to cure deafness, and that is by
remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out ana this tub a
restored TO its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal. /

A drop of 3 cents in the New York quota
ton for butter on Monday had tendency to
unsettle the market here, until it was under
stood that the New York price was for a
fancy grade which constituted not more than
per cent of the receipts, and which was not
quoted here except in retail way. The de-
cline in New York is no more than Il read
justment of quotations TO the actual value of
the great bulk of the butter made at this time
of year, and to about the price quoted in
Boston for some time past.
For the finest lots of Western and Northern
81 cents was asked, and this was paid by one
or two buyers who were short on fine goods,
but the general feeling was that 20 to 20T
cents was full rate for the best offered in a
wholesale way, in large and assorted size
tubs. Some receivers thought that no more
than 20 cents should be quoted, as there
would be plenty offered at that price before
the week was out. The best fresh creamery
sidered top rate, and plenty of stock carried
over from previous receipts could be bought
at a lower price II buyers showed any dispo-
sition to operate. In fact, after passing the
