Base Ball.

The last game of ball between Nor
ristown and the home team was decid-
edly the best OF the series. The game
opened up with Sanders in the box for
the visitors. Caldwell occupied the
box for johnson City for the first four
innings. when Willard was put in and
showed that left field was only one of
his strong points. He pitched good
ball and with proper support would
have walked away with the game, but
q number of costly errors in the eighth
Morristown came over the plate with
two runs.
Weiler's work behind the bat was at
times brilliant, but creditable through
out. Morristown has a gentlemanly
team, and we are always glad to have
such teams visit us even if they do show
our boys their finish.

but even if that is done, the unseat-
ing OF the ideas which made his cleo
ton possible, will be much larger
and harder task. Behind these ideas
stands powerful hierarchy; when
the priest becomes politician he has
resources for making the most dan
gerous machine" in the world. The
ordinary politician is no match for
the priestly politician whose constit-
uents believe that his machine" is
backed by the fiat of high Heaven.
The all-important thing is to en-
tighten and liberate the minds of the
constituency. In order to meet and
overcome the sheer materialism of
Norman theology, with its coarse
and profane conceptions of God;
with its ambitious and unspiritual
priesthood, and it's polygamous
slavery, we shall need all the re-
sources of legislation and education,
and all the dynamics of pure Cos.
pei. AS citizens we ought to unseat
Roberts; as Christians we ought to
unseat his ideas. Legislation is not
to be despised; it may abate or even
abolish the practice of polygamy;
but the only sure cure must be more
radical, and abolish unamercan and
unchristian ideas by training the ris.
ing generation in those that are
American and Christian.-[ Clarence

The above is taken from the Bur.

have seconded the motion to send

and because some of his supporters
IN sections OF the state where the SEN

thought best to provide for both of

teemed friends indulge in irony and
disparaging head lines? Is it alto.

1T, however, they are honestly in
the dark and want light we will has
ten to inform them that General

laying awake nights to have Gov.

pudiate the insinuation of the Free

NO, gentlemen, don't fatter your
selves with the belief that the sup
porters of General Grout wish to

Political Prolificness.

Under this caption the Burlington
Free Press discusses the number oil
candidates that northeastern YER
mont can furnish for the various
Offices to be filled. AS several dis.
tinguished st. Johnsbury citizens ap.
pear in the list the Free Press edito-
rial will be read with interest. We
give herewith portion of the arti.
Gle.
I'm the first place that region has four
United States senatorial possibilities, of
whom three are open candidates, the
latter being Hon. Jonathan Ross of st.
Johnsbury, Senator Morril's successor
temporarily, Hon. w. w. Grout, whose
home post office is put down in the Con-
gressional directory as Barton, and Hon.
Charles A. Prouty of Newport, member
OF the interstate commerce commission
Another gentleman who has been favor
ably mentioned as an available man for
the senatorship is Hon. Henry c. Idle of
st. Johnsbury, formerly chief justice OF
Samoa, but it is understood that Judge
Ide's name has been considered by some
of his friends in connection with diplo.
matte position, a service which he would
unquestionably adorn. Caledonia county
is also understood to have a man in
grooming for the gubeInatorial race in
the person of Lieut. Gov. H. c. Bates of
st. Johnsbury, although at last accounts
he had not definitely decided whether or
not he would receive sufficient encourage
ment to warrant his entering the field in
opposition to ex-Speaker W. w. Stickney
of Ludlow.
Turning to the congressional canvass
in the Second district, we find that north
eastern Vermont is not without repre-
sentatives in that struggle. Hon. W. P.
Stafford, of st. Johnsbury, has succeeded
in securing recognition as an available
candidate for the congressional nomina-
tion in spite of the earnest but il.directed
efforts of certain aspirants for other DO.
sitions to head him off for reasons of a
politico. geographical nature. 1t is also
reported that still another new candi-
date for Congress has appeared in COL
Porter FL. Dale, OF Island Pond, gentle
man who is in many ways well qualified
to shine in the position of congressman"

tFrom our regular correspondent.

iFrom our regular correspondent
We have been favored with un-
usually mild and pleasant weather
this autumn and Thanksgiving day
was no exception to the rule. We
have passed through the Dewey ex.
cltement, mourned the death Of our
noble Vice President, partaken of ex-
cellent Thanksgiving cheer, and pub
licly returned thanks to God in our
churches Tor our national prosperity
and now are at white heat Of excite.
ment concerning the seating of Brig
ham Roberts, the Mormon from
Utah in the Congress about to be
assembled. There is a division of
opinion which policy to adopt !;
whether to refuse to allow him to
take the oath of office in the first
place or to permit him to enroll him
self as member and then challenge
his right as a law-breaker of the
country to sit in the nations coun.
ellis and make laws for the people.
The Republicans know that if they
take the initiative, the Democrats
may not all unite to form the neces-
sary two.third's vote to expel him
from the House of Representatives.
for he is said to have been a member
OF Gen. Lees staff during the war,
and this may have q strong political
