1t will be something strange if the
threatened political contest in this
state resolves itself into Il breezy and
violent affair that cannot be settled
by a few Republican leaders used to
that sort of thing. 1t will be Il dis
appointment, too, If the state is de-
privcd of any of the anticipated
pleasure of finish fight in the po-
litical ring to mark the year 1900.
And an interesting time it will be if
all the candidates with coors up
stay III the field, never withdrawing
for the sake of 'harmony" but
standing in line until the decisive
votes are taken. Let them pitch in,
measure strength once for all, and
every encouragement IL week back
bone needs will be theirs.
Judge Ross and G. Nj. Proutv
may Ike Il hand in the struggle for
that char in the u. S. Senate. En-
Gov. Dillingl am and Gen. Grout
are already in training for the en-
counter. The election of town rep
rescntativcs will turn largely upon
the preference for one of these cam
didatcs and the matter may be vir-
tuallv settled before the legislature
meets.-Whitc River Junction Land

The Montpelier Record is sure
that one of the most active and in
teresting campaigns in Vermont
history is at hand. 1t says:
sit is not clear that the appoint
ment of Judge Ross to the senate
simplified the impending senatorial
contest. Indeed, new element
may have been thereby introduced
into the commotion which will be
increasing in volume and intensity
from this time till the second Tues
day in October, 1900. Mixed with
the contention for the Office of sena-
tor, will be a red-hot fight in each
congressional district and the issues
of the national canvass. All things
will cont ibute to the fervor of poll
tics in Vermont in the closing year
of the century"

1t is reported, says the Buling-
ton Free Press, that Congressman
William W. Grou, recently realized
over $500, 900 from the sale OF cop

ago when most people had little
faith in the copper market.

Ebert O. Leonard's controlling in

can and has taken possession. The
Republican has hourished under
MIR. Leonards management and
under the new ownership this ex-
cellcnt paper promises to maintain
its leading place among Caledonia
county papers.
1t remains to be seen how far
Middlebury's appropriation will go
toward discriminating the maple
tree pests in that town. 1t is very
laudable effort to undertake to stamp
them out, but as they do not make
nests or mass together in great num-
bcrs it is difficult to see how they
can be successfully attacked by man,
especially over any considerable ter
ritory. Small trees IN a village OF
course can be handled with some
success; for the rest some parasite,
which it is ardently hoped will APP
pear, must be depended upon to rid
forests and sugar orchards of the
scourgc.

You are perhaps aware that
pneumonia always results from a
cold or from An attack ofla grippe.
During the epidemic of la grippe
a few years ago when SO many
cases resulted in pneumonia, it
was observed that the attack was
never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t tcounteracts any tendency
OF cold or la grippe to result in
the dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad

A CURIOUS srom
Comes From u Junts Conserving the
Discharge Of Santa Fs Constructors.

There is an interesting story
connected with the wholesale dis
charge Of Santa Fe conductors on
the western-divisions OF the road
for irregularity. One of the men
who offered to sell information of
dishonesty among the conductors
to the officials of the company, at
the same time made proposition
to La Junta lawyer to suppress
what information he was in pos
session OF at a consideration of
S2oo per conductor.
The man was at one time a
deputy sheriff OF New Mexico.
Later he is said to have been con-
nected with the Furlong detective
agency OF ST. Louis. 1t seems
that while residing in New Mexico
he worked a short fare scheme
with the conductors on the Santa
Fe, or knew of such a scheme
being worked, and lately decided
that his knowledge should result
in profit. He wrote the officials
in this city offering to sell his in
formation, but not receiving a
satisfactory answer Immediately
decided to take up the other end
of the string and wrote an attorney
in La Junta, explaining that he
had damaging information against
certain conductors, but would see
that it did not reach the ears of
the company officials in view Of a
consideration of 5000 cash. He
suggested that some OF the con-
ductors named were in a position
to pay much more than 5000, and
suggested that if the attorney
would cooperate with him the mat
ter could be made highly profitable
to both.
The La Junta lawyer refused to
have anything to do with the
scheme, and since the investiga-
ton which has resulted in the dis
charge of nine conductors, started,
turned the letter over to the men.
1t is now in the possession Of Con-
ductor Hilton of Dodge City.
The officials in this city say that
since receiving the communication
from the officer. he has been
travelling over the western division
