There is mourning in the northern
end of Windham county because of the
withdrawal of Judge Read The anti
Brattleboro faction hoped he would
stay in, if for no other purpose than to
kill of Haskins. They sadly announce
that whereas Rockingham hasn't had a
smell at the public crib for genera
ton or so, Brattleboro has appropri-
ated all the good things of life and vet
yearns for more. They feel that mas
much a. Read made very good fight
against Grout last year, when no one
else dared to tackle him, that he and
not Haskins should have first call in
Windham this year The Brattleboro
wing doubtless think that inasmuch as
they turned in and fought hard for
Read last year-most OF the hustle in
the Read canvass was contributed by
Brattleboro workers-it is only fair to
expect help from Reads quarter Tor
the Brattleboro man this time. The
i'll feeling may result in the choice OF
an anti-Haskins delegation from
Rockingham and perhaps other towns

The Bennington Banner has changed
back to a weekly, from the semi-week-
ly form. The semi-weekly does not
seem TO be a success in Vermont It's
a sort of ''half-and-half' affair, neither
a weekly nor a daily, and doesn't fill
the bill There is no stopping place
between the weekly and the daily.
People either want the news served up
hot or they want the paper of the
"daddies, the good old weekly, with
the complete story Of the week. There

Hon. William 2. Dillingham; is a
candidate for the seat in the national
Senate made vacant by the death OF
Justin S. Morrill,, filled temporarily by
Jonathan A. Ross. He is not and will
not be a candidate for any other office.
The attempt has been made by some
favorable to the candidacy OF Gen.
Grout for the senatorship to side-track
him into the lower house in place of
Grout, who has stated that he would
not again be a candidate for the place
he now holds. This, according to the
Grout theory, would be very happy
solution, and so it would-for Grout.
We do not know that the general him
self has had anything to do with this
somewhat unfair movement. 1t has
been industriously promoted by one,
L. S. Hayes, of Bellows Falls, who has
written numerous letters TO the state
press, urging Its adoption. The
trouble with the plan is that neither
Mr.. Dillingham; nor his friends favor
it and that its purpose is only too
plain. For many years it has been
understood that following Morrilrs
death would come struggle for his
seat between two wings OF the Repub-
lican party, whose standard-bearers
would be Gen. Grout and ex-Gov.
Dillingham;. For years the question
has been discussed on the quiet and
most men have long ere this become
pronounced partisans of one side or
the other. There will be no change in
the lines Of action now. As they have
been formed, so they win meet and
one or the other will win. For Dill
bingham to dicker with his opponent
would be an act Of disloyalty to the
thousands who have willingly joined
his standard While both Grout and
Dillingham; are able and worthy men.
according to our belief, they stand for
ideas and ideals in the esti- |
nation of the public, and it is necessary
to know which idea is to rule. Nor is |
there any reason whatsoever that
should induce Dillingham; to show the
white feather, as the acceptance Of
different office than that.for which he
set out would imply. While his
friends do not underestimate the forces
which Grout will bring into play, they
have thorough confidence that in the
end Dillingham; will win. This very
attempt to dispose of him they view as
a move indicating weakness among
the Grout adherents. The reports
that reach them from all over the state
are of very favorable nature. But
were this otherwise and were Dilling-
ham doomed to defeat he could do
else than stand manfully TO
his guns. His supporters are not re-
cent recruits, they know their leader
thoroughly, and they know that the
last thing he will do will be to counte-
nance any trade which means the acs
qnirement by his opponent of the seat
to which he honorably aspires and
which his enthusiastic followers be-
lieve him best qualified to fill.

rather too much dignity until the bat

preference. This time ii must be more
in earnest or more convinced of the

Vermont's most influential paper and
its support Of Dillingham; will be a
strong bulwark in his canvass. In its
announcement it says that it is con-
WINGED from the independent inquiry
it has made, that Mr. Dillingham; is
the choice of the Republicans of Yer
mont that he is in every way worthy
OF the popularity that is his; that Sen
ator Morrill, desired him to be his sue
cessor, and that the objection made to
him by friends of other candidates that
he is lacking in Congressional exper-
fence would have also served to keep

twenty-five senator's who have gone
from Vermont in all out of that body.

THE POPE'S VIEW
 OF AMERICANISM
He Will Not Interfere With Af-
 fairs on This Side.
THE ANGLO-SAX0N WRllITY
So Long as American Catholics Formu- late No New Doctrines They Will Be Allowed to Live in Peace
 Jesuit Discipline.


 London, September 15.--The Times prints this morning a four column article from its Rome correspondent the Pope and Amercanism, which says:
 "The recent conflict was of intense inter- est for Englshmen because, behind the name of Hecker and all it implies, there are weightier questions of Roman Catholicism with it's infallible authoAty and iron frame work of dogma fundamentally compatible with the virility and independence of the Anglo-Saxon temperament.
 After giving a history of Father Hecker, of his movement and of the recent conflict, the correspondent concludes as follows:
 "So long as the American Catholics formulate no doctrines, claim no liberty and avoid all action which might give a handle to their foes, they may hope to live in peace.
 "Yet the question arises, how long will respect for their past, their independence of spirit, and especially the constant infiu- ence of the American environment permit them to hold their tranquility on suffrance or to enjoy their freedom by stealth? The duel between the Anglo-Saxon tempera- ment and the Jesuit discipline will be worth watching, for the stake of civiiiza- ton in it's outcome is by no means small"

RAILROAD SUIT
The Southern and Seaboard Air Line
 Apply for an Injunction

Charlotte, N. C., September 14-A spe- cial from Ashevile to the Observer states that in case of the Southern railway, the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line and other roads vs the North Carolina corporation commission, the filing of affi- davits was concluded today and argumen nt begun. The railroads are applying to Judge Simonto, of the federal court, for an injunction against the order of the cor pora tion commission, assessing the rail- roads property in the state for taxation at it's full value. They ask for the njunc- ton on the ground that:
 ''The corporation commission has not the legal power to assess and that the constitution is violated in the order be- cause it would make the action unequal tine private property of the standard be- ing assessed at full yalue.'
 The railroads have introduced as evil dence from people in the counties in the state, which allege that private property is assessed at only two-thrds of it's real value.
 The roads quote the state auditor and the state treasurer to the effect that private property is not generally assessed at its full value. Many prominent attorneys are in attendance.

American Officials in Manila Alleged to
 Be Rascals

Denver, Colo, September H.-Napoleon E. Gyoaa, private of company G, First Colorado volunteers, who, during the last three months of 1898 served as clerk under Major Kilbourne, and later under Lieuten- ant Colonel Potter, auditor of public ac- counts, Manila. publishes this evening signed statement in which the gravest charges of corruption are made against the American officials in Manila.
 He says an examination of the vouchers forwarded to Washington will show that exhorbitant prices are paid for all kinds of supplies purchased in Manila that vast quantities of high class wines and other supplies have been purchased ostensibly for the Spanish hospitals, while in the American hospitals only the coarsest sup plies are found. He says court-martials of private soldiers charged with selling gov ernment property have stopped because they would result in the exposure of offi- cial rascality. The robberies, he asserts. will aggregate enormous sum.

FORECAST RECEIVED
Boer Representative Offered Reply in
 Forty-Eight Minutes

London, September 4.-A forecast of the Transvaars reply to the last note of the British secretary of state for the colonies, MT. Chamberlain, has been received, but its nature Is not yet known.
 At the colonial office a representative of the Associated Press was informed that nothing will be given out for the present.
 It is regarded as significant, however, that the nature of the Boer reply was com municated to the commander-in-c n-chief, Field Marshal Lord Wolseey, who immed- lately summoned General Sir George Stew art White, V. C., former quartermaster general, the prospective commander of the British forces in Natal.
 The consul geneal of the South African republic, MT. Montag White, said to a re- porter of the Associated Press today:
 'I have good authority for believing that the Transvaal reply will be unsatisfactory to the British government"
 The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily Chronicle sGys that when MT. Conyingham Greene, the British diplomatic agent, sug- gested forty-eight hours as the period within which the reply of the South Afri- can republic was expected the Transvaal representative replied:
 If your suggestion is serious, the reply will be ready in forty-eght minutes
 President Krugers intimat tions, according to the Daily Chronicle, are pessimistic re- garding the situation.

 Many of the provincial papers publish articles insisting on the granting of a par don.
 The Figaro says that many officers of the army are asking that Dreyfus be pardoned. Countess Prokeschostein, president of the Austrian Red Cross society, has written a letter of condolenee to Mme. Dreyfus.
 Paris, September 1.-The Temps this af- ternoon says: "The idea of summonng the chambers might be admitted if an incident had arisen showing the peril of the situa- ton or the weakness of the government. If the situation does not exist, such a call would be the first noisy incident since the close of the trial. Let the deputies, then enjoy their vacation long as the gov ernment fufills its mission and conforms to the clearly defined mandate 1t solicited and accepted months ago."
