A Little Advice.

Judge Read has chosen wise course.
He is too tar along in years to successfully
enter upon new profession and was never
"cut out" for politician anyway; he is
lacking in most OF those qualities which
tend to popularize candidate among the
people. With Haskin, as competitor in
this county, he would not have stood the
shadow OF chance of securing the nomna-
ton, no matter how much personal et-
fort" he might have expended. as any
county divided against itself stands q
mighty poor show in political convention
1t would have sounded graceful if Judge
Read could have said good word for Col
Haskins, but the effect will be all the SAINT
IN the end. Col. Haskins will now have
clear field in this end of the state and there
is no doubt but what he will receive tn,
unanimous and enthusiastic support of tn
republicans OF the coun'y.-Deerfeld Val
ley Times.

Crime Of Marrying a Catholic.

One of the most unfortunate manifesto.
tons Of religious intolerance and bigotry
albeit the most common, is now beginning
to assert itself in connection with the mar.
rage engagement OF Admiral Dewey. Ir
brief it amounts to clouding his chances
for success in possible future political ambi
tions because his bride-to-be is Roman
Catholic. Only last Sunday Rev. G. S
Phelan Of Lewiston, Me-, grand master Of
the Loyal Orange lodge of Maine, in ser
mon delivered before the Orangemcn Of
St. John. N. B., stated that, if Admira
Dewey married the woman to whom it i.
announced be is engaged, he would never
receive the presidential nomination as she
is Roman Catholic.
The question now up to Rev. G. S, Phe
Ian of Lewiston, Me-, is "What mon
strous CRIME, what blighting evidence O.
moral turpitude, is involved in the marriage
of Protestant man and Catholic woman
SO that the man is no longer to be
trusted ?'-St. Adams Messenger.

Brattleboro-on.the- Hog.

In connection with the withdrawal of
Judge Read from the canvass for the re-
publican nomination for congressman, the
Bellows Falls TIMES makes a few insinua-
tons about the Office habit that has been
contracted by the neighboring town Of
Brattleboro. leboro-on-the-Hog, as
tn. TIMES would doubtless like to say, but
doesn't. 1t gently stimulates the memo
ries of Windham county people to recall
the fact that whereas the town of Rocking
ham has not had in the past quarter of a
century an elective or appointive state of.
fee, during this time Bratt!eboro has had
two governors, one lieutenant governor,
one tax commissioner, five aides-de-camp,
three delega'e, at large to national repub-
lican conventions, supreme court Judge,
United States district attorney, United
States district judge, the brig
adler general commanding the state troops,
and the colonel commanding the first regi-
ment of infantry. In the light of this show
ing. it only seems necessary to surrender
to Brattleboro tie receipts for the Hunt
ington fund, let the old state slide, and all
get annexed to Canada. Come on.-St.

Republicans Will Win.

The election returns of November are
being scanned with unusual interest as
they serve as pointers for the presidential
campaign of next year. The chances are
more than equal that the winning party
this year will be the winning party next
year. In 1896 Mckinley had a majority
of 95 in the electoral college, and there is
every indication that his majority will not
be less next year.
Of the state, in the east and north, i'm.
portant because doubtful, New York with
Sc electoral votes and New Jersey with 10
went republican, the election being for
members of the Legislature. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Iowa, and Massachusetts with an
aggregate of 83 electoral votes also went
republican as in 1896.
OF the states that showed change over
1896, says an exchange, Kansas with its
ten votes went republican instead Of demo-
cratic. and South Dakota also changed the
same way, with its 4 votes. A Republican
governor was elected and in Kentucky,
there was no change there. Maryland has
8 votes and by abandoning Republican.
ism has thereby given encouragement to
Bryan. That state is not surely repub.
lican next year, nor is Kentucky, which j.
naturally democratic. Nebraska, MISSES.
ippi and Virginia went Democratic this fall
as they did three years ago.
Of the western states which did not vote
this fall, one at least which gave Bryan it.
electoral votes in 1896 seem, certain to re-
verse its action in 1900. Washington il
strongly for the ADMINISTRATORS policy il
the Philippines. Last year it elected re.
publican supreme court judge by 14,OOC
plurality and at the same time chose two
Republican congressman, all the state i.
entitled to send.
If we grant the loss of Maryland and
Kentucky, both doubtful next year, We
may claim the gain of Kansas, South Da-
kota and Washington. Maryland and
Kentucky gave NJ Kinley 20 votes in 1896,
and the three other states gave Bryan 49,
Mckinley may therefore suffer loss oil
two votes, which is of little consequences

Passing Of the Academy.

The fact is that academies, owe their
downfall to the growth and development
Of the public high school. The old-fa,h-
toned academy is almost extinct, and the
few survivals are for the most part making
desperate struggle for existence.
The old theory was that education at the
public cost should be limited to the three
RS. and secondary education wa, provided
by private and corporate enterprise. Hence
the once famou, New England academies,
of which the Phillips institutions at Exeter
and Andover were perhaps the best known
types.
But within compa atively few years the
modern high school has sprung into exist
ence, furnishing secondary education alb
solutely free of cost, at the public expense
and in consequences the academy, of what
ever sort, has dropped, languishei and
died Burlington News.

At special meeting held in the city OF
Burlington Friday night the following was
adopted Sc That the county commissioner
OF Chittenden county be and hereby is
instructed to revoke the license OF the city

The meeting was attended mostly by those
opposed to prohibition and favoring high
license. This element seems to think that
in some mysterious way a step like this is
destined to aid their pet hobby and give
the prohibitory law black eye. This is
like cutting of the nose to spite the face.
Nash, republican candidate for govern
or, carried Ohio by larger plurality than
Mckinley did in 1896. This means that
the presidents home state is loyal to the
policy of the administration, and that Nc
Kinley will be the next republican candi-
date tor president. Nebraska went demo
cratic by handsome majority, and so
Bryan's home state stands back of him.
This means that he is bound to be the dem
ocratic candidate for president next year,

why is one out of the anti-imperialistie
