Smith of Brattleboro were among the out
of-town guests. Music was furnished by

One of the saddest events occurred last
Monday night in the death of Hermon o.
Skinner from appendicitis. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Skinner of
Newfane and well known here, as he has
been clerk in Landmarks store for some
two or three years. He was young man
of good habits, of great PROMISE of quiet
demeanor and beloved by all who knew
him. He was married only little more
than four months ago to Music Landman,
oiueSI uauSHter Vi L. l. bdnuman, anu
their short married life of almost ideal
happiness coming to such sad and sud
den end is peculiarly pathetic. Besides
his wife, who has the heartfelt sympathy
of the whole community, he leaves a faith
er and mother, two sisters and brother
on whom the loss OF loved son and BROTH
er falls heavily. Funeral services were
held at the same church where so short a
time since Mr.. and Mrs. Skinner were mar
ried.

Not the least attractive feature of the en-
tertainment was that following the can
tata. This was a fine drill executed by
eight young ladies of the academy. Be
tween the acts of the cantata the piano

Many of the citizens here are in favor of
accepting the offer the state has made of
500 for public library if the town will
appropriate $25 each year from taxes.
We think the benefits from town library
cannot be too highly estimated. While It
would be beneficial to all classes, it seems
to the writer, that to the young it would
be especially valuable in helping them to
store their minds with useful knowledge,
for we know what is learned in youth is
remembered as long as memory holds its
sway. We hope this measure will have a
rousing vote in the affirmative at the town
meeting, and that all its benefits will be
duly considered.

Vermont Academy's second basket ball
team was defeated by the Leland and
Gray seminary team at Townshend Mon
day afternoon, the score being II to s. 1t
would have been nothing more than cour-
tesy on the part of the Vermont Academy
first team to have played the Leland and
Gray team return game instead of send
ing the second team, but undoubtedly the
Vermont Academy first team thought
otherwise.
The Vermont Academy team started
out with rush and in few minutes had
two goals to their credit, and it looked as
though they were going to have things
their own way, but Leland and Gray
soon settled down TO work and by superior
team work and swift passes kept the Yer
mont Academy team puzzled during the
rest of the game. The special features of
the game were the excellent work of Al
drich and the goal made by Van Schaick
from the centre of the hall. The teams
lined up as follows:

Dodging the Trust Question.

Democratic opposition to trusts
is taking the form of an inflated
pretense, as usually happens with
that party of negation and gener-
al incompetency. The plank on
trusts in the Democratic state plat
form in Ohio IS another proof of
this fact. 1t begins with the fol-
lowing assertion: 1--WE declare
that all unlawful combinations of
capital arc the legitimate fruits of
a gold standard and other corrupt
Republican legislation On questions
of tariff" Here, at the outset, is
an attack on two established fea
lures of the government which it is
said are responsible for the exis-
tencc of trusts, and must therefore
be swept away before unlawful
combinations Of capital can be pre-
vented. The Ohio Democratic
doctrine is that trusts can not be
reached until the gold standard
and the protective tariff are over
thrown. Trusts will be immortal
if these are the essential prelimin-
aries. The Democratic party shows
total lack of sincerity by defer
ring the regulation of trusts until it
can establish the silver standard
and destroy the protective princi-
pie in the laws of the United
States.
Common sense suggests that the
way to deal with the trusts is to go
directly at them, analyze them
thoroughly and define their future
in the interests of the people. This
course means business. 1t is the
Republican method of fulfilling
pledges, as IN examination of the
national platform of 1896 will
show. But there is in the Demo
cratic party a singular ob!iquity
| which defeats its efforts to redeem
a promise, or frame any executive
measure when intrustcd with the
power. In the platform of 1892
the Democrats favored free trade.
The practical outcome was that
freak and monstrosity, the busi-
ness killing Wilson tariff law.
Prosperity has come under the Re-
publican championship of the gold
standard and a Republican tariff
law. Yet, after raising tremen-
dous hue and cry about trusts,
Democrats declare that they can
do nothing against them unit! the
gold standard is abolished and the
present protective law repealed.
The trusts must be delighted with
the Democratic plan of operations
over crooked road leading now
where. Globe Democrat.
