Boss Croker, NJ. Sheehan, and the
Hon. David B. Hill, who once upon
time had presidential aspirations,
have had falling out over New
York politics, and Mr. Hill has been
temporarily downed by the two lead
ing opponents of the Tammany
brand of pelitice. We say temporal
rily downed," because Hill so regards
his defeat and he has promised the
Tammany leaders, in return for their
treatment of him, that not single
democratic member of the legislature
shall be elected this fall above the
New York city line. Now we shall
see how completely David B. can
carry out his contract to limit the
operation of Tammany methods to
the New York line. II we take Mr..
Hills word for it, the up-the-state
democrats are not in love with the
Croker-Sheehan faction, and will re-
fuse to contribute to their political
success next month.

They are Citizens.

Sixty.6ve Peublo Indians, headed by
Chief Manuel Ortega, passed through
Fort Worth, Tex, the other day enroute
to Dallas, where they will occupy the
Indian village during the state fair. The
Indians came from Ysleta, little town
just this side of Ell Paso.
For 800 years the Peublo Indians have
lived on an island village in the Rio
Grande. This was in centuries past
city of refuge when defeated by the early
Spanish explorers, with whom it is re-
corded that they fought one war of 80
years duration. Ysleta means little
island"
The Pueblos bear the distinction
among all the American aborigines of
being citizens of the United States, with
the privilege Of voting, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. They are an historic peo-
pie, and, while welded to many of the
traditions OF their ancestors, in the mat.
ter of religion they have become Chris
tianized. They speak Spanish. but not
the English language. There are now
about 600 of them in their historic vii
lage at Ysleta.

England and the Transvaal are in
volved in the horrors of war. The
Beers struck the first blow immedi-
ately upon the expiration of the limit
named in their ultimatum, and al
ready there has been considerable
loss of life. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that the differences between
the two countries could not have
been settled in some other way, since
war can but result in general devas-
tation of the Transvaal territory and
a sacrifice Of human life that seems
altogether unnecessary. The Beers
evidently need enlightenment; and,
while they may be able to give the
British government considerable
trouble at the outset, they are very
likely to be taught useful lesson be.

with them.

There does not seem to be as yet
any specially definite and harmonious
crystalizing of democratic sentiment
as to an issue and leader for the
coming national campaign. Some
two years ago Washington paper
one morning reported that at dem
ocratic congressional caucus the
night before it had been Resolved,
that we don't know what course the
republicans are going to adopt; Re-
solved, that whatevercour they do
adopt, we will oppose it." This may
not be the precise wording of the
resolutions, but that was about the
idea of the caucus; and the demo-
cratic party Of to-day is in about the
same attitude. 1t has no genuine
issue OF it's own, but it will oppose
anything and everything that the
republican party stands for, and
seems content to 60 into campaign
with that very slim equipment.

A Tribute TO Vermont Character.
Admiral Dewey is at home in
Montpelier, one OF the most demo-
cratic sons OF the most democratic
state in the Union. He walks the
streets of the native city and meets
and greets his old friends and neigh
bors as cordially, simply and freely
as though be had never achieved
greatness. And that is true Vermont
quality; for in no other common
wealth is there more self.respecting
independence which while conceding
to everybody the honor due him in
sists upon the principle that "a
mans "a man for a that" Admiral
Dewey knows the Vermont charac-
ter, and in his own personality aptly
illustrates it.-Troy Times.

President Mckinley has just con-
cluded a two weeks tour in the West,
and has been everywhere received
with great enthusiasm. His speeches
have touched upon the living ques-
tions of the day, and his utterances
have been uniformly practical and
sensible. He has met the farmers,
the veterans, the business men and
all classes of citizens during his jour
ney, and this coming in so close con-
tact with the people has increased
their respect and admiration for him
as man and president. He told
one Of his large audiences that no
other nation on the globe had more
reason to be grateful than ours; that
good crops and fair prices were the
rule; that wages and employment
have waited upon labor; that our
financial condition was never better:
that we are on the best ofterms with
other countries; that the trouble in
the Philippines will no doubt shortly
be put down by the gallantry of OUT
troops; and that we have in general
prosperity and patriotism. Mr. Nc
Kinley is an excellent speech.maker
and man whose ideas are directly
in line with those of the people al
large.

The government building at St. Adams

Congress on March 8, 1891, made an
appropriation of 100000 for it. On
March 8, 1898, it appropriated $4,000
to complete it. In the fire of 1895, the
building was partially destroyed. On
June IL, 1896, congress voted $4,000
for rebuilding and repairing it, making
the total amount appropriated $685.

STANTON & HUNTINGTON,
Standard Drug Store,
ST. Johnsbury, VT.

Montpelier, the capital city, Dew
ey's own town, did herself proud on
Thursday, when she greeted the Adj
miral in genuine Vermont fashion.
That is the verdict ofthe four hundred
people who comprised the st Johns
bury delegation; and the rest Of the
twenty-five thousand or more indi-
viduals who crowded into the city
on that day will probably say the
same thing. At the first flashing of
the news of the victory in Manila
bay Montpelier's pride was touched,
and it has been developing ever since,
eliminating in the magnificent dem
onstration of popular esteem and
patriotic enthusiasm on the 10Th.
Many thousands Of people in other
portions of the state accepted the in.
vitation to join the citizens OF the
capital in this general welcome to
the hero, and it was big success.
The Admiral could not fail of being
deeply touched by this evidence OF
appreciation, and those in charge OF
the details of the extensive affair can
congratulate themselves on the
smoothness with which the days
programme was carried out. Yer.
mont has shown her pride in Dewey
and his glorious deed at Manila, and
she will continue to hold him in the
highest esteem.

you at either Cherbourg. ooutnatnp-
ton or Hamburg, they set the finest
table of any Of the lines and their
bands OF music aid in promoting
sociability and a general good time.
The band gives three concerts day
and a sacred concert on Sunday,
which latter event was the only re-
minder we had that it was the first
day OF the week. l had hoped to
visit the engine and boiler rooms,
but this is not permitted on express
steamers.
We had a rather unsocial crowd
on board and few people OF more
or less prominence. The only titled
dignitary besides a German count
was Mr.. Justice Batcheller, the
American member OF the Internation-
al court at Cairo. He was a warm
friend of Admiral Dewey's and very
pronounced anti.expansionist. Be-
fore accepting his present position
and which he had filled most accept
ably from 1875 to 1S89-he had
been offered the post Of minister to
Spain and the chief justiceship of
Samoa. The newspaper fraternity
was we'll represented by the Berlin
correspondent of the London Econo-
mist and the Berlin correspondent Of
the Chicago Record, both bright
American journalists who were as
pronounced in their anti-expansion
views as Mr.. Justice Batcheller.
Among the other passengers were
many merchants who were going to
the European markets to buy the
spring goods. One passenger-a
Hollander from Buenos Ayres-was
making his seth trip across the At
lantic and the United States postal
clerk told me this was his 10th
crossing. One of the globe trotters
included Honolulu capitalist who
had started for Europe to get a
change of climate. He was in Paris
this week and he got the change Of
climate all right. Half the passen-
gers landed in a tender in Cherbourg
harbor. During the night we had
passed many lighthouses, our ship
had signalled to the coast that we
had landed and the readers OF New
York evening papers of Sept. 27 read
that the Furst Bismarck had passed
the Lizards, not far from where the
Paris was so strangely wrecked this
summer. The newsboy met US on
the tender with the Paris edition of
the New York Herald and worked off
in change a lot of South American
and Grecian coins, hasty farewell
and quite stable tips" were given
the stewards, and as the great boat
left the tender and swung off to-
wards Southampton and Hamburg
the last impression had Of the scene
was the sight of Mr.. Justice Batchel-
Ter on top of the luggage on the
tender furiously yelling to the first
officer OF the Furst Bismarck that he
hadlost piece of his luggage. After
the two boats had separated he
found his valise just where he left it
and the court came to order.
