A Representatives. Qualifications.

Editor of Daily Journdl:-In summing up
the qualifications OF Colonel Haskins for
Congressional honors the Brattleboro Picnic
says:
mo man in his county, ant probably
none in the State has ever done more faith
full and convincing and unselhsh work on
the stump in successive political campaigns,
covering almost the life of generation,
than has he."
The above accurately represents the poll
ticians views of the necessary qualifications
OF a Congressman representing an sgrlcul-
tural constituency; and because he has
been a faithful stump speaker, or, in other
words, shrewd polit clan, he must be re
warded with seat in Congress. No ques-
ton is asked or answered as to whether he
has ever done anything for the farming and
general interests Of the State, or whether
he would try TO do anything for them, II
elected to Congress. Such trivial matters
are left to take care of themselves He is a
good stump speaker and that settles the
matter.
The half dozen other candidates for the
same position are all lawyers, and they are
asking the farmers to vote for them because
well, why? Is there any good reason why
farmers of this district should always vote
for professional politicians TO represent
them in Congress2 Are there no farmers or
business men, are there no more Morrills,
who are capable OF judging OF the require
ments of the peopleP

were received was testified to by the repeat

sang two solos. Miss Mnott has sweet
voice, well cultivated and her ease and
grace upon the stage make her very
pleasing singer. Each time she was called
! back by hearty encores. Master Fred
Whittier rendered two violin solos which
were much enjoyed, Fred, is a general
favorite here and he responded gracefully
when called back. Rev. j. j. Goodacre
gave a solo in his usual pleasing manner.
The organ accomplishments were played by

were served at the close OF the exercises.

THE FIGHT AT GLENCOE.
Beers Reported Beaten Back with
Heavy Loss l-a

GLENCOE CAMP, Oct. 21.-The bat
tie yesterday was a brilliant success.
The Beers got reverse which may pos
slbly, for time at any rate, check all
aggressive action.
The British artillery practice in the
early part of the day decided the battle.
The seizure of Dundee hill by the Beers
was surprise, for, although the pickets
had been exchanging shots all night, it
was not until a shell doomed over the
town into the camp that their presence
was discovered. Then the shells came
fast. The hill was positively alive with
the swarming Beers. Still the British
artillery got to work with magnificent
energy and precision. |a
The batteries from the camp took up
positions to the south of the town and
after quarter hours magnificent fir
ing silenced the guns on the hills.
Your correspondent could see shells
dropping among the Boer pieces with
remarkable accuracy and doing tremen-
dous execution, for the enemy was
present in very large numbers and in
places considerably exposed.
BY this time the enemy held the whole
of the hill behind Smiths farm and the
Dundee kopje, right away to the south,
in which direction the British infantry
and cavalry moved at once. re
Directly the Boer guns ceased firing
General SymOns ordered the infantry to
move on the position. The infantry
charge was magnificent. The way the
Kings Royal rifles and the Dublin flu
sileers stormed the position was one of
the most splendid sights ever seen. The
firing of the Beers was not so deadly as
might have been expected from the troops
occupying such an excellent position, but
the infantry lost heavily going up the
hill, and only the consummately brilliant
way in which General SymOns had train
ed them to fighting of the kind saved
them from being swept away.
General Symons was wounded early in
the action, and the command then de-
volved on Major Yule.

minutes and 10 seconds actual time anG
6 minutes and 81 seconds corrected time

failed The trophy won by the ole

During his stay here Sir Thomas has

previous challenger, and the yachtsmen

him back with hospitable hands. Except
for the repeated fukes and the unfortu-

man and woman appeared not. The
minister read the Scriptures, said a
prayer and two hymns were sung, and
still no bridal couple. Then 1t was pro-
posed to have short addresses to fill up
the interval. Then the minister gave
out a hymn, and just as the people had
sung:
"Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice,
Wen may this glowing heart rejoice"
the couple entered the church. The GER

gratulations were exchanged and the
new couple started for their ranch. As

ENaLAND.s GREAT TASK.
Kruser's Representative Says Beers
VIII Gain Independence.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-Edwin
Van Dusen Paul, who is delegated to
represent President Kruger at the inter-
national commercial congress, will not
take further part in the proceedings. he
left the city for Chicago, whence he goes
to transact other business for the Trans
vaal government. Mr.. Paul intended to
read a paper before the congress, but the
state of affairs in South Africa called
him to other duties. Before leaving for
the west he said, speaking of the war:
"The news thus far received from
South Africa would rather favor the
British side of the conflict, but it would
be well for Americans to remember that
nine out of ten dispatches received from
the seat of war come from British
sources. | do not believe that the Beers
have been repulSed so badly as the press
dispatches have stated. l realize as well
as any one that Great Britain has ire
mendous power, and had she to deal with
small nation like the Transvaal located
within reach of the guns of her ships
there would be a speedy ending of the
war, but the Transyaal is a gigantic for
tress in itself. The Beers are determined
to maintain their independence. They
are Wiling TO SdcrlHce all, anu lHe HSHL
will be bloody one from the very start.
England has a much more difficult task
than her war party is aware of, and the
truthfulness of this statement will be
borne out by early events. l expect to
see most of the fighting done in British
territory, and l expect further that the
independence complete and everlasting of
the South African Republic will soon be
acknowledged by all nations of the
earth -
