stepping out. Judge Powers is nei-
Their a fool nor a knave; he has
served the state with mediocre abil-
ity for ten years, but he is worn out,
discouraged, and practically non
entity in the House. Isn't this true?
If not to what can he point in the
past few years to prove its false
hood? Now is the time for the
Judge to tell the people wherein his
claim lies, and not next spring just
before the convention. Delays are
dangerous" Mr.. Powers, and the
sooner the voters are convinced OF
yonr ability and devotion the better
it will be all round. Tell us what
you have done to earn your salary,
and every newspaper in the state
will be glad to publish the same as a
matter of justice. We believe that
they are interested and that the Trib-
une reflects their best judgment in
saying that c. S. Page ought to sue
coed H. H. Pow-rs as Congressman
from the First District.
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1899-08-23

is owned by man who nurses a
grudge against Page that was CON
ceived in the times when the latter
was inspector of finance. Fiftv-six
of the hfty-nine newspapers of the
state are accounted for, and of these
there are not more than three whose
preference is not well known. The
remaining ffty-three are known not
to be for Powers, and from forty
FIVE to fifty are known to be for
Page. These appear to be the facts
in the case so far as these newspa-
pers are concerned. Every man can
point the moral of these facts accord
ing to his own idea of their signif-
cance-according as whether he be-
lieves the newspapers do, or donot,
reflect popular sentiment. The Her
aid seems to be quite right in it's
statement of its behalf that no news
paper has indicated a preference for
Powers-and, we repeat, the inquiry
the real facts of the expressed news
paper preference raises is, Where are
the newspapers which are likely to
indicate a preference for Powers !?
And echo seems to answer, Where?

Randolph Herald.)

Perhaps the Powers brethren
would be better satisfied if the wind
were blowing their way, instead of
from them, and might view Second
District opinion more complacently
if it savored more of Powers andless
of Page. The Second District has a
real interest in who represents the
other Vermont district. Before the
country, there is no distinction be-
tween districts. Mr. Powers is
known as the gentleman from Yer
mont and the whole state shares in
the honor that comes to him-or the
other thing For instance, when
Mr.. Powers was assailed on the
floor of the national House not long
ago by Mr.. Barrett of Massachu-
sets and, as an ex-member of our
supreme court bench, practically ac-
cused of handing down unjust and
improper decisions favorable to rail
road interests, and when Mr.. Pow
ers sat silent under the singing
words that Barrett poured forth,
the whole state of Vermont, from
Alburgh to Vernon and from Canaan
to Pownal, flushed with indignation
and shame, not less because of the
impertinence of the charge than be-
cause the one best qualified to reply
either would not or could not. At
such times as these Mr.. Powers is
not the Representative from the First
District, but the member from Yer
mont, and the east side will ertainly
not admit that it's interest in a con-
test on the other side is of the GO
it-husband, -go-it- bear" order.

Swift Flying Pigeons.

General Cameron said that the real
homing or messenger pigeon of to-day
could not be traced back beyond fifty
years. Its value lay in its instinct to
trace its way back to its home. HON.
ing pigeons had flown hundreds of miles
at rapid rate back to their lofts. He
gave some well accredited instances of
the flights of these birds. They had
flown in one day 500, $40, 554, $50 and
565 miles. The longest flight on record
by a messenger or homing pigeon in one
Hay was from Liege, in Belgium, to San
Sebastian, in Spain, 615 miles. A pigeon
had flown 1900 miles in three DAYS.
They had flown 2, 100 miles, from New
Orleans to the New England States, and
arrived home as fresh as ever. The sea
has no terrors for them. Four hundred
and fifty miles was placed as their limit
of flight over the sea, and that they had
done. They were very prolific, having
always three broods a year, and in
stances were known where nine broods
had been Matched.

1t occurs to some of the spectators
that if Congressman Powers intends
to make statement in his own de-
fence a good time to do it is now,
because his chief opponent is hust-
Ter, and it is apparent that he has
already commenced to hustle. Con-
gresham Powers's long term of SER
vice will certainly count against his
reelection because Vermonters do
not favor life service in that office;
and he did make grievous mistake
in the Pacific Railroad matter, as
shown by the consummation, which
saved the government millions of
dollars which would have been lost
by his scheme if it had gone through.
But in that matter he acted conscien-
tiously and many of the brightest
hnanciers in Congress believed his
scheme the best arrangement that
could be made. Mr.. Powers has
been and is now generally considered
as one of the most capable and level
headed men of Vermont, and he can
probably furnish some information
of interest to people who are not
posted as to his congressional career.
Whether it will prove his title to ex-
