THE BARRE EVENING TELEGRAM
BARRE, W., DECEMBER s, 1899.

There is trouble ahead for the BoS-
ton democracy. John r. Murphy,
who was defeated in the canvass for
the democratic nomination of mayor,
has come out for X-Mayor Hart, the
republican candidate. He claims that
the gang that has ruled Boston under
Mayor Quincy cheated him out of
the nomination by fraud, etc. The
republican candidate is a tried and
true man who has remarkable ability
is thoroughly familiar with the affairs
of the city, and who will fearlessly
expose the corruption that has exist
ed under the present administration.

PEGGING AW AY.

Mr.. c. f Ranney is still peggine
away at Gen. Circuit through the New
port Express. His latest is In answer
to the charge that Prouty is showing
rank ingratitude to Circuit by opposing
him. inasmuch as Grout secured fOl
Prouty the place on the interstate
commerce commission which he now
holds, when it was offered circuit him
self Mr.. Ranney intimates that
Grout did this so as to shelve Proutl
from entering the present contest
He says further that the only ''loglca
successor" of Senator Morrill, is the
man whom the people prefer. Ran

A CIRCUIT DODGE.

The suggestion of number of
enthusiastic newspaper supporters
of General CIRCUITS Senatorial as
pirations that Ex-Governor Dilling-
ham be candidate for the lower
house, is undoubtedly made solely
for the purpose of saving Mr.. Dilling-
ham from a political fight with other
candidates for the same place. Such
a kind act will perhaps receive it's re-
ward in this world. Mortified News.
The above is taken from the Bur
lington Free Press, and the heading
"a circuit Dodge should be credited
to that paper. Our Burlington and
Mortified contemporaries should
make note that none of the news
papers in this part of the state sup
porting General GrOut-and they all
support him in accordance with cur
rent sentiment-have seconded the
motion to send Gov. Dillingham; to
the house: and because some of his
supporters in sections of the state
where the sentiment is practically
one way have thought best to provide
for both of these gentlemen, why
should our esteemed friends indulge
in irony and disparaging head lines?
Is it altogether candid: is it fair?
If, however, they are honestly in
the dark and want light we will has
ten to inform them that General
CIRCUITS friends hereabouts are not
laying awake nights to have Gov. Dill
lingham become a candidate for the
house, and they emphatically repudiate
the insinuation of the Free Press.
No, gentlemen, don't hatter your
selves with the belief that the sup
porters of Gen. circuit wish to avoid a
trial of the senatorial issue before the
people. That, in fact, is just what
they want. Those who know Gen.
circuit know that he is not in the
habit of lodging the question. All
know him to be good square fight
er, whose methods are always open
and straightforward and never of the
indirect sort limited at in the above
clipping.
The friends of Gen. Grout feel too
strong to let 60 unanswered the init
nation that they shrink from meeting
the issue squarely before the voters of
the state. They feel that they have
candidate the equal of any other in
mental equipment, and the superior of
all in legislative experience; a candi-
date with long and honorable record
full of valuable and serviceable things
done for his constituents and for the
state and nation; and they believe
that the people of Vermont will say
to him next fall: "Well done, good
and faithful servant, 60 up higher"

WAS WILLING.

Mr.. CIRCUITS opponents are crying
that this was another move to side
track a possible senatorial candidate.
Grant that such was the case, Prouty
seemed very willing to be sidetracked.
He accepted with becoming alacrity
one of the biggest plums that Ver-
mont political patronage affords. AS
a matter of ethics, should he now en-
deavor to block the legitimate politi-
cal ambition of his benefactOr?-Bel-
lows Falls Times.

A QUESTION ASKED,

"Where does Gov. Dillingham; stand
on the expansion question:" cries the
Barre Telegram. Where has Dilling-
ham stood, for that matter, on any
question. If he has ever declared
himself as standing on any important
national or state issue history fails tC
make record of the fact. Come ont
into the open, Mr.. Dillingham;, and
let us hear your voice!-Burlingtor

 There is a disposition in some quarters to regard Garter as d martyr. but there is noehing that can be made to serve as basis for any such sentiment. The govern ment. which is the people. was outrageous ly swindled at Savannah, losing millions without return. and Carter handled while he had charge of the improvements at Sa- yannah great sums of money. He person. ally handled great sums. This fact was proven beyond doubt He claimed that a rich father-in-law gave him money to in- father-in-law skipped away to Europe, re- fGsing to appear before the court of army regulations. He sent, it is true. a letter, but ehe letter was not sworn to. He did not send a sworn and itemized statement. In other words, Carter's suddenly acquired wealth s-ood and still stands unexplained, unless indeed he shared with his contract ors the proceeds of public robbery
 No army officer has spoken in Carter s defense-nct one Many of them have looked into the case; as a rule they are very clannish, but not has said he con- siders Carter innocent. The presumption is. the army considers him guilty. The at tempt to turn Carter into martyr will not, it Is plain, carry with it the sanction

FITCH HOUSE FOR THE ADMIRAL

Washington Cor. of the Chicago Tribune
 Admiral Dewey's future home will be on Rhode Island avenue, one door east of Connecticut avenue The committee hay ing the matter in charge today decided to purchase the Fitch house, as was indicat- ed in yesterdays dispatches. The price agreed upon was $50000 but the transfer will not be made until next week, as the deal was closed after office hours. The house is located on a terrace, is three sto- It is covered With ivy and on the west side is large lawn.
 The house has seventeen rooms besides four bath rooms, and embodies all the points laid down by the admiral, especially in regard to the dining-room, which is large enough to entertain at least thirty guests with comfort. Modern plumbing has been installed in the house, and from a sanitary point of View it is one of the best in the city. The dwelling is furnished but as nearly all the paintings will be re- moved, it will look rather bare A few rugs vii be needed, as will also some articles of furniture, to make the home complete. The parlor. which is the front room is finished in white and gold. Then comes the libra the dining-room, with mahogany finishinss The two upper floors are arranged in sleep ing apartments.

PAID SUNDAY SCHOOL TEA CHEERS

From the Chicago Tribune.
 1lhe rector of a New York Episcopalian church does not think the quality of Sun day school instruction is what it should be- He would like to have his parishioners raise an endowment fund of $100O00, the in come of which shall be used to hire proper ly qualified teachers. This is a novel pro- position, but it is not unreasonable. Church singers are paid, though they do not as a rule give up all their time to the church. If Sunday school teachers were paid it may be assumed they would devote more time and study to their specially. Paid services are usually more valuable than those which are given gratis. If it is deemed worth while ito have Sunday schools the most competent and best train ed teachers should be had. But there is serious obstacle to the general adoption of this proposition. It is that the majority of more than sufficient ito meet present needs. After paying the interest on building debts, the minister's salary, and other current ex- penses, there is seldom anything lief. over. Some times the receipts do not equal the expenditures, and the minister's salary is apt to suffer- So it is more than likely that Sunday school instruction will remain in the hands of volunteers, where it has been from the beginning. There never will be a lack of women volunteers but it does seem to be more difficult to get .ne services of zealous and well-qualiiied men than it used to be,

Treasurer Ellis Facts.

There is blood on tine face of the moon. State Treasurer Ellis repro sents the blood, or at any rate, he is out for the blood of demagogy. He does not popose to be him self a party to cheap politics. He has therefore, issued a circular in which he makes these points:
 First. That he did not desire to cast any reflections upon his predecessors in tne treasury office.
 Second. He shows that the change and savings in the payment of school warrants was brought about by himself. solely through his official recommendations. The change consists in permitting tax colec- tors to pay school warrants, thus saving to the state the costs of transmission.
 Third. He shows that he has, without di- rection or advice of any kind whatsoever, directs, forwarded New York exchange, re- eeived in the payment of taxes and license, to New York in sufficient amounts to meet the interest on the states bonded indebted ness.
 Fourth. He shows that unaided he has in these ways saved to the state in the course of three years $6,s70.97, or more than two-thirds of the salary received by the governor within that time,' and he adds: My only regret is that I have been unable to save twice that amount during
 
 done in the cost of transmitting funds to and from the treasury, had all my recom- mendations of September So 1898, been adopted
 It appears. therefore, that State Treas urer Ellis is the sole and only original saver" and it further appears that he state or any other man steal his thunder He piles much blame on the legislature because it did not adopt all of his recom- mendations. The legislature is accustomed to bearing the brunt of things, and as a rule all Charges against it are true Treas Lrer Ellis still holds out the hope that he can save in the transmission of state funds $1S,740 every three years, all told, if the leg isature will legislate up to his recommen- cations. The Age-IIerald believes that jus tice should be done though the heavens fall and ballots be cast awry, and it gladly yields space to the gist of State Treasurer Ellis pointed, nanswerable and altogether oreditable circular letter. It is letter full of Fight. It is a letter that effectually dis poses of one piece of politics.

HOW RILEY GOT HIS START

From the Chicago Times-Heraid.
 James Whitcomb Rileys success began with what he considered terrible misfor- tune. He had been hired to write poems for the Indianapolis Journal and was devoitng Himself exclusively to that work. Before he had been al il very long, however, there was change in the editorial department of tne paper. "Lije" Halford, afterward private secretary to President Harrison, be- came managing editor and at once de- cided that expenses would have to be re- duced. After looking around for good place to begin ret.enchng he decided that Riley must go.
 We like you Jim. and we like your poetry" he said. .'but it isn't worth what we are paying you for it. Of course if you want to contribute poems for nothing We Il be willing to print them.
 Ha wing his poems printed would be very gratifying, but it would be necessary for even a poet to eat and wear things. 50 Mr Riley decided anat he would not enter into any sort of an agreement at that time to write for nothing.
 He tells his friends that the day on which he was discharged from the staff of the Indianapolis Journal was one of the black est of his life. The future seemed to hold nothing for him.
 It happened, however. that state politi- cal convention was held in Indianapolis at about that time, and among the nominees was a very portly gentleman who had never made public speech. The conven- tion called for him after he had been nodni- mated and when he appeared upon the platform a speech was demanded. He cleared his throat, stood on one foot and then on the other, and said:
 "Gentlemen of the Conventional thank you for the honor you have given me. can't make a speech but can tell you one thing. The ticket you've nominated here today is a-goin' to win When the frost is on the pun-kin and the corn is in the shock" l"
 The uproar which followed indicated that Riley's poem, first published only few days before, had been read by everybody present. and that it had touched a tender spot.
 This circumstance more than anything else induced the business manager of the Journal, who was Rileys steadfast friend, to undertake in partnership with the poet to have a little book, "The Old Swimmin' Hole and 'Leven More Poems" published. It made an immediate hit, and gave Riley a national reputation. Major Halford and Mir Riley are now, as they have always been good friends, and it affords the latter pleasure when the two happen to meet in company to admit that he got his start in life by being discharged.
