also by reason of very winning person
ality and gracious manner, Vermont
deemed it an honor due Mr.. Morrill,, q
distinguishing honor she gratefully rem
dered, TO continue him in the senator
ship during his lifetime. But there has
been strong though quiet sentiment
that when Mr., Morrill, should be gath
cred to his fathers and his success sor
should be chosen, man in the prime
of his mental and physical powers
should be placed in the chair vacated
by the venerable statesman.
This feeling has not been an under
standing that has been written out in
legal form, signed, sealed, witnessed
al recorded; it has, nevertheless, been
an all pervadlng and dominating
sentiment. 1t has had reference 10 no
citizen, it has been in the interest or to
the prejudice of no citizen, but it has
been the prompting of wise public
policy. 1t has been q desire TO start
the one of the worthy and promising
youn ger class of competent men of the
S ate who should be chosen on a sena-
torial career which should perpetuate in
Congress the fame and glory won in its
upper House for Vermont by Phelps
and Upham, Foot and Collamer, Nor
rill and Edmunds. 1t is believed that
this sentiment lie stronger in the State
to-day than ever before, and that it will
be decisive of one qualification the sue
cessor of Mr.. Morrill, must possess.
The sentiment for this sort of q
senatorial candidate will hardly toler-
ate an honorary election. The distin.
gushing honor paid to age in the per-
son of Mr.. Morrill, is very likely to
lapse with his death, as the title Of
General is buried with the military
chief who has borne it when he de-
parts. The fight will be between the
younger champions, and one will win.

The subjoined query relates to Mr..
Dillingham's determination in the mat
ter of his candidacy for the Congress
of the United States:
Who decides the matter. Mr.. Dillingham;
or the voters OF the commonwealth?-St.
Johnsbury Republican.
1t is any citizen's "unalienable right"
to be or not to be candidate for pub
lie Office. Mr.. Dillingham; 'decides
the mater" CT his candidacy for the
office of Senator or Representative in
Congress. "The voters of the com.
mon wealth" determine the matter OF
his election-apd through their repre-
Sc ntatives will elect him TO succeed Mr.
Morrill,. The contemporary should
take a course in the kindergarten oil
politics.

There has been more or less surmise
as to where G. A. Prouty is at in the
contests for congressional prizes that
are rife in the State. His name has
been sometimes suggestion in the
talk of the day over second district
politics. 1t has been mentioned with
livlier interest when the probable en-.
tries for the senatorial race were con-
sidered. 1t is now definitely under
stood that Mr.. Prouty will be candi-
date for the senatorship, but General
Grout having corralled all the papers
in the northeastern section of the
State, this wry son of Oileans seems
to be without local organ to champ
ion his cause. But Mr.. Prouty's candle
is not so easily snuffed out. His light
will throw its beam far out into Il g
wilderness of Groutism in Orleans
county, or he is not the Prouty we all
know.

The SenatOrship.

The Caledonian formally announces
the active candidacy of Judge Ross be-
fore the people for the office to which
he was appointed last winter by Gov
ernor Smith. The contemporary says:
The friends OF Senator Ross feel that
from what has been said in certain papers
it might be understood that he was not
candidate for the Senate. On the contrary
we are authorized to say, that while he has
no thought of making what is called fight
for the place, yet If elected by the next
Legislature to fill out the two years term
Of the late Senator Morrill, he will CRATE
fully accept and serve to the best OF his
ability; in short he is candidate, and
will be glad of the support of all OF his
friends and all who deem him worthy Of
the high honor.
This is not essentially different from
the understanding generally prevailing
as to Mr.. Ross attitude in the matter
OF the senatorship. The people OF
Vermont may be willing to endorse all
the true and pleasant things that may
be said of the Senator who Immediately
succeeded Mr.. Morrill,, but the active
support his candidacy will attract seems
likely to be limited to those people who
hold close personal relations to hin, or
to that disinterested class of politicians
who may encourage his candidature in
order to scatter votes through multi
plicity of candidates. In the lottery Of
politics, out of this multiplicity, sd-
vantage may come, at the close, to
candidates of uncertain standing.
The opponents of Judge Ross, or
rather the supporters OF other candi-
dates, will not find it necessary to i'm.
peach his ability or to deny that he is q
man fit to succeed Mr.. Morrill,, either
for the remainder OF the departed Sen
ator's term, or for succeeding term
When men get started on congress
sional career there rarely comes time
when they voluntarily leave the cheer
full precincts of their pleasant day il
public life, "nor cast one longing, lin
geriug look behind" If Mr.. Ross
should be chosen to fill out Mr.. Nor
rill's unexpired term, is he entirel,
sure that he would then be more con
tent than now to resign the "pleasin 6
anxious being" of Senator? Is HI
some what more than mortal?

Cheers for Aguinaldo.

During the war of the rebellion
cheers for JEFF Davis were heard in the
conventions of the copperhead Democ.
racy. In the war of the Filipino rebel
lion cheers for Aguinaldo are heard in
the assemblages OF the successors to
the false Democracy of generation
ago.
On Monday night the Chicago plat
form Democrats rallied al Cooper
Union, in the city of New York. Some
things besides free silver, and some
persons besides Bryan, were ratified
there. The speakers referred to the
war in the Philippines as "the murder
of innoce mt savages." The resolutions
denounced President Mckinley for his
eastern policy and characterized the
extension of American principles to
the benighted people of Luzon and her
sister islands as rank violation of the
principles of this government. The
war for the restoration of order in the
Philippines and for planting there the
American civilization was pronounced
cruel and brutal attempt to crush a
weak people who are contending for
natural and God-given rights.
Cooper Union, as the report of this
meeting by the New York Sun says,
"has been the scene of all sorts OF de-
monstrations by all sorts of people in
the interests of all sorts of things," but
probably never before was Cooper
Union crowd asked to cheer for the
leader of people with whom the
country is at war. 1.-THE money ISSUE"
shouted Representative Lentz of Ohio,
twill keep. But if you murder Agui-
naldo, you have destroyed one of the
heroes of the world" There was tre-
mendous uproar, few Kisses and much
cheering, and when the tumult died
down, voice yelled "Three cheers for
Aguinaldo," and they were given.
This demonstration for the little Fill
ipino rebel was properly followed by a
wild whoop, that swelled with mighty
roar of enthusiasm as John P. Altgeld
entered the hall. The call for "Three
cheers for the giant of the west" was
answered with will, and there came
back the echoing response, "There's
only one Altgeld," for which all good
citizens all over this Union give most
hearty thanks. Cheers arose for Bryan
and the remark, by way of plaudit,
that "There's only one Bryan, stirred
toits depths the tumultuous crowd, with
whom, after all, Aguinaldo was the
hero of the evening. A sample bit of
the oratory of the occasion may be
found in this gem from the speech of
Lentz, the Buckeye representatives:
"If we can buy Filipinos at So apiece, we
can sell men. Let's sell the State OF Maine
to Great Britain. She wants it. 1 wouldn't
wonder II she'd give us 800 apiece for the
citizens, and we'd get back our 0,0O0 ,OOC
that we gave Spain for the Filipinos.
Thus is established the standard of
what is called Democracy, and which
is making its appeal for acceptance by
the men of America Its own words
and acts are its heaviest condemna.

A brave DEED.

No praise can be too great for John
Rhinehart, of this city, If the published
reports of his rescue of his friend,
Charles LIE Claire, from drowning are
correct The reports show that the
drowning man had sunk beyond all prob
able recovery in several feet of water
and lay at the bottom of the river; that
without taking time to remove his cloth
ing Mr. Rhinehart went to his rescue,
lifted him bodily from the river bottom,
and by an almost superhuman effort con-
veyed him some distance to the shore
when, being overcome by his efforts, he
and his friend were aided to safety by
these on shore.
1t is quite plain that these facts con-
stitute one of the most heroic life
saving efforts of which there is any re-
cent record. 1t required the highest
type of courage and personal devotion
and involved a risk to the rescuer which
cannot be overestimated To swim full
Iy attired out into a treacherous current
of which an excellent swimmer had been
the victim, to descend several feet to
the bottom Of the river and engage in
the dangerous and apparently hopeless
undertaking of lifting lifeless body to
the surface, swimming with it towaId
the shore, unaided and alone, surely re-
quired courage and devotion Of the very
highest order.
Mr.. Rhineharts splendid feat will prob
ably pass unrewarded save by his own
consciousness of having done a COM
mendable deed and by the gratitude of
his friend; but 1t nevertheless entities
him to the highest recognition that can
be bestowed on such a deed
The humanity and friendship which die
tate such a heroic act as this reflect
infinite credit. not only on him who dis
plays 1t, but on the community in which
it is displayed We should take off our
hats to Mr.. Rhinehart as brave and
devoted friend whose friendship is not
to be estimated on any basis of mere
pecuniary reward.
