CURRENT COMMENT.

The Augusta Chronicle (Dem) says:
THE value of the Savannah river as a
conservator of freight rates has long been
recognized and time and again exploited
in the columns of Augusta newspapers
The only strange thing about it is that
merchants will patronize the river for a
few weeks as long as there is any par
ticuar fight on, but as soon as the rail-
roads come TO terms the merchants turn
their backs on the bridge that carried
them over. The steamboat lire should al
ways be maintained in good condition and
excellent lighting trim. 1t should not sim
ply be fort into which Augusta mer-
chants retreat when IN trouble, but should
be well-equipped and aggressive line OF
battle which railroad rate makers dare
not disregard"

The health of Pope Leo XIII is the sub

COST OF LIVING.
Comparison of the Various Capita y
of Europe shows Vienna to BE
the Cheapest.

An investigation into the compare
tive cost of living at the various Euro
pean capitals resulted in the following
facts: At Vienna the prices of most
articles of food are lowest; at Madrid
they are dearer than in any other cap
ital, and such things as bread. meat,
sugar and coal are very expensive in
deed. At st. Petersburg also the price
OF bread is still considered a luxury
above the means of the working classes.
Next TO Vienna Brussels is an ineXpen-
sive city; Paris is a little higher in the
scale, while London is still more ex-
Eensive. An American spends on an
average $50 year for food, French
man SIS, German S45, Spaniard
%33, an Italian $24 and a Russian
$40. Of meat the American eats
100 pounds year, the Frenchman
81 pounds, the German 64 pounds,
the Italian 2S pounds and the
Russian 5lpounds. OF bread the Amer
lean consumes $50 pounds, the French
man $40 pounds, the German $50
pounds, the Spaniard $50 pounds, the
Italian 400 pounds and the Russian G55
pounds. Outside of Europe, in times of
peace. Manila is cheaper to live in than
any other city in the world.

The Mortified News this week in a
most admirable article formally pre-
sents the name of Hon. Frank Plumley
of Mortified as candidate for Con-
gress from this district. He is an able
lawyer, an upright citizen, steadfast
Republican, whose faith has never
wavered and who can be depended
upon in every crisis. He has done SER
vice on the stump in several presiden-
tial campaigns'in the close states for
the National Republican committee
and deserves well of the party. The
voters could most certainly do much
worse than to send him to congress-
Whether they will or not is for them,

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Drift Of Politics as Reflected by
the Newspapers of the State.
Plumley for Congress.

AAS A'> wa ~ PiN''''t" Wv "'''ostAiC>
that Hon Frank Plumley of Mortified
is a candidate for congressional honors
subject to the approval of the Repub
lican voters Of the second district at
their next convention,
| This announcement will not be ir
the nature Of a surprise, as it has been
| generally understood that Mr.. Plum
ley would be a candidate. 1t may be
further said that he has for some time
been regarded as the logical successor
to the present incumbent by no in
considerable number of voters through
out the district.
Mr.. Plumley has not sought to aid
in precipitating long and wearisome
canvass upon the voters and therefore
declined to have his candidacy an
nounced months ago along with other
gentlemen who have similar worthy
political aspirations.
Judge Reads withdrawal from the
field, as noted in another column,
now makes it imperative that Mr..
Plumley's candidacy be announced at
this time.
Mr.. Plumley is too we'll and favor
ably known throughout the State and
especially in his home district to re-
quire an extended newspaper eulogy.
He is Vermonter of the kind which
Vermont likes to honor. All that he
has achieved in life has been deserved,
because it has been earned by honest
and faithful work.
AS clean, honorable and upright
man Mr.. Plumley is the peer of his
fellow citizens: as a lawyer he is re-
cognized as leader; and as a repub-
lican he holds high place in the party
which he has always served faithfully
and well. AS a campaign orator he
has few equals and his services in the
western states during presidential
campaigns have been highly appre-
ciated and likewise given him a wide
acquaintance with leading public men
and political affairs.
Mr.. Plumley has served in the gen.
eral assembly in both the house and
senate and in the latter as president
pro tenn. During President Harri-
sons administration he was United
States district attorney for Vermont.
In these as well as in many minor
positions, he has discharged the duties
upon him in a cOnScien-
tious and able manner. Neither has
he been continually before the people
asking for recognition. When pub
lie trust has come to him it has come
without unseeming strife. He is not
4 politician in the sense that the |
glory of Office holding is his highest
Mr.. Plumley now comes before the
people as candidate particularly well
tilted to occupy the position to which
he aspires. He will be in the race to
he end and abide the decision of the
Toters of the party which he has so
ong and faithfully served.
1t is needless to say to those who
NOW him that if chosen to represent
Vermont in congress he will serve the
tate's interests as loyalty and faith
