Hou. w. w. Stickney of Ludlow will
figure in connection with his guber-
material contest in 1900 and, from
an opposite direction comes rumor
to the effect that Lieut.. Gov. H. C..

candidate for governor the coming
year on an anti-railroad platform.
Well! Well Vermont's political caul-

Cecil Rhodes, the great English ex-
pansionist, says the time is coming
when South and Central America
will be a part of the United States.
Already the Nicaraguans are limiting
at annexation to the United States,
while from the West Indies comes
similar talk from the residents of the
beautiful island of Jamaica and the
little island of st. Christopher. Resi-
dents OF the latter island have sug-
gested to English statesmen that the
English possessions in the West In
dies be exchanged for the Philippines,

Naturally the good people of the
Granite state are disguised with such
stuff from their chief executive and
the facts in the case clearly show
that religion and civilization are not
on the decay. His message has
called out scores of interesting re-
plies and perhaps the most caustic is
the open letter by Thomas P. Cheney,
ex.United States pension agent, who
writes from his home in Ashland
long letter in the Manchester Union.
The following paragraph will show
the tone of his letter and is fitting
comment on the governors official
blunder:
Generally speaking, then, my estimate
OF the production is-that if it were not
pitiable piece of prudery, petty prig-
gishness and pious pessimism, an imper-
tnent, un-republican, un-American, UNI
warrantable and unconstitutional inter.
ference on the part of civil magistrate

Spiritual Blessings Conditional.

written for the CALIFORNIAN
He who would view the promised land
Must climb the mountains height.
And those who walk with God. must walk
By faith, and not by sight.
All who would know the rest divine
The Savior's yoke must wear,
And those who wear the Christians crown
The Christians cross must bear.
Those who would win the victor's palm
Must use the Gospel sword,
And follow, in "the fight of faith"
The footsteps OF their Lord.
Through tribuations thorny path
The white robed throngs ascend,
Where voices tuned to heavenly strains
In one great anthem blend.

A QUEER CALENDAR COMPLICA-
TON.
Thomas jefferson Was Not Born on
April 18th, the Day Set for His
birthday Dinners

There were many dinners in honor
OF Thomas Jefferson, April 18th. Yet he
was not born on that dav. He was
born on April I'd, 1743, old style, but
owing to the new style of time compu.
tation beginning with the introduction
OF the Gregorian Calendar, 1852, at
which time the Equinox had refrigerated
eleven days since the Council Of Nice in
A. d. 325, when the festival of Easter
wasestablshed and the equinox occurred
on Marco 81, the dates OF anniversaries
originating prior to Pope Gregory's Cal
endar are determined by adding eleven
days, hence Thomas Jefferson's birthday
is properly observed on April 18th. This
interesting fact is pointed out on pages

$4,000 Insurance Wanted on n
Jersey bull.

Application has been made for insur-
ance of $4,000 on the famous young
Jersey bull, Merry Maiden's Son, owned
at Hood farm, Lowell, Mass. This is
the highest amount of insurance ever
asked for on bull or COW. Merry
Maiden's Son is believed to be the most
famous Jersey bull living, as he is the son
OF Merry Maiden, the champion sweep
stakes cow in all three tests combined at
the Worlds Fair, and his sire is Brown
Bessie's Son, whose dam won the 90
days and 80 days tests at the Worlds
Fair. Thus Merry Maiden's Son unites
the blood Of these two famous cows, and
great results are expected from his
progeny.
