President Mckinley, accompanied by
Secretaries Gage, Root, Long and Wilson
and Postmaster General Smith, left Wash
ington last week on an extended trip
through the West and Northwest. There
is no doubt that the journey was under
taken primarily to get in touch with the
people," and further the Presidents
chances of denomination, but it will also
be of service in acquainting the Admins
tration with the conditions in that section,
and in making the people acquainted, by
personal contact, with the governmental
policy and intention in the present crisis
in our affairs. The first speeches in the
tour were made at Quincy, ILL.,, Friday.
The President and the Cabinet members
all made brief addresses, the burden of all
the speeches being the necessity of up
holding the hands OF the President in his
efforts to suppress the Philippine rebellion.
The people heartily applauded the speak
ers.
On Monday President Mckinley laid the
cornerstone of the magnificent new Fed
eral building at Chicago, the event being
the GROWING feature in week of festivi-
ties in that city. There was a parade of
civic and military organizations in the af-
ternoon and a banquet at the Auditorium
in the evening, which was attended by all
the distinguished foreigners who were
guests of the city during the festival.
President Mckinley, Vice President Mar
iscal of Mexico, and Premier Lauren of
Canada made speeches at the banquet
On Tuesday the President was kept busy
with round of engagements in Chicago.
Wednesday he was in Evansville, Ind, to
attend the national reunion of the Blue
and the Gray. At night he and his party
left for St. Paul and Minneapolis.

Massachusetts Republicans.

The Massachusetts, Republican conven-
ton held at Boston last Friday resulted in
these nominations:
For governor, w. Murray Crane of Dal-
ton.
For lieutenant governor, John L, Bates
of Boston.
For secretary of the commonwealth, Will
liam NJ. DIN of Boston.
For attorney general, Hosea NJ. Knowl-
ton of New Bedford.
The resolutions adopted praise "the
statesmanlke spirit" of President McKin-
ley, "point with pride" to "the splendid
administration of the navy department by
our distinguished fellow citizen, John d..
Long," commend the present tariff law,
denounce trusts and monopolies, and de-
clare for the gold standard. This is the
"war-in-the Philippines" declaration:
"Under the treaty with Spain, the law
of nations put upon the United States the
responsibility for the peace and security of
life and property, the well being and the
| future government of the Philippine Isl
ands; accepting this responsibility, it is
our profound trust that the present hostili-
ties can be brought to an early termna-
ton, and that Congress, guided by a wise
and PATRIOTS administration, will establish
and maintain in those islands, hitherto the
home of tyranny, a government as free, as
liberal and as progressive as our own,
in accordance with the sacred principles Of
liberty and self government upon which
the American Republic so securely rests. u
The platform has been severely criticised
for its lack of originality, viriity and def
initeness, especially that on the Philip
pines, which is so drawn as to be equally
satisfactory to the "expansonists" and thu
| "anti-imperialists.

1t was not without reason that the Greeks
called a beautiful woman "cow-eyed;n but
though many a famous Jersey COW has
borne Greek name, Hellas never saw
cows comparing in beauty with the mod
ern Jersey-so fine and trim In shape and
so dainty in color and shading, or with
eyes so large and liquid. For many years
it was disputed whether the breed was not
cross between the COW and deer. The
Jersey as much surpasscs her ancient pro-
genitors in the richness and abundance of
her milk and cream as in beauty. At the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1893, the Jer-
sey, putting aside all question of beauty.
challenged all other breeds for quantity
and quality Of the butter, aud was tri-
umphant winner over all competitors.
For some years there has been reac-
ton from the eXtrayagant prices which
prevailed in the eighties for Jerseys, says
Harper's Bazaar. During the height Of
that craze it is said that $4,000 was paid
for the bull Prince Of Pogis, and that ia
nous cows brought from $4,000 10 $4,000
Pedro, sire of the great bull Pedro Roy
al Marjoram, won the first prize at the
Worlds Fair in 1898, and originally cost
his owner $4,000. Pedro's dam was Eu-
rotas, by many considered the greatest of
Jersey cows. She produced IT'S pounds
and ! ounce OF butter in one year. Pedro
Royal Marioram was himself a winner at
the Worlds Fair, but his chief distinction
has been in the extraordinary uniformity
and extraordinary merit of his daughters.

A Significant Fact.

Aguinaldo has issued proclamation an
nouncng the release of the American pris-
oners, in the course of which he says: SIN
America there is a great party that insists
on the government recognizing Filipino
independence We should pray to God
that the great Democratic party may win
at the next presidential election, and i'm
perialism fail in its mad attempt to subju-
gate us by force of arms" Throughout
the proclamation Aguinaldo denounces
''the imperialists" instead of "the Ameri-
cans, as in former documents.
The first and only thing for the Demo-
cratic manager to do, evidently, is to send
over and get muzzle put on Aguinaldo's
mouth.

Our Chicago Friends Have Some Fun
with Us.

From the Chicago Evening Post, Oct. 5
Dark days have come to Vermont, that
grand old commonwealth which, more than
any other, gave glory to our country in our
little misunderstanding with Spain. Ad-
miral Dewey has announced his dettrmin-
alton TO reside in Washington and pla-
card on Mr. Kipling's bungalow near Brat
tleboro proclaims "this fine property for
sale-cheap." All that remains now to
complete Vermonts degradation is that
Estey shall move his cabinet organ factory
down into Massachusetts, and that the ma
pie sugar crop shall fail. We might have
expected this treatment from Kipling-a
poet and an alien, but we are grievously
disappointed in George. In vain the des.
pairing cry goes up from the hills of green :;
o Rud! George. be with US yet;
Lest We forget, lest We forget
1t would seem that Col. Julius Estey
will be compelled to leave the Organ facto-
ry a little earlier in the day in order TO put
on his uniform and revive the dropping
spirits of his neighbors. 1t is terrible
responsibility thus to have the support of
a commonwealth on ones shoulders, but
we understand the colonel is equal to it.

election to the vice-presidency. He says

mate. News comes this week from Pater-

chemistry, laboratory and recitation work
may be done there.
The foot ball team was defeated APO
by Vermont Academy Saturday. The
nine played very good game, however,
considering that they are practically all
inexperienced in the game, and the pros
poets are good for fast team this season.
About $40 was realized from the subscrip-
tion paper circulated in the school for the
benefit of the team.

SPORTING,
victory for Vermont Academy.

BrattIeborO High school Boys Defeated
42.O at sa1tons River saturdsy---The
Academy Team Was Heavier and More
Experienced Than the BrnttleborO
Aggregation.
The Brattleboro High school foot ball
team pluckily opened its season last Sat
urday by lining up against the strong Yer
mont Academy team at SaXtons River.
The game resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the Academy boys, the score at
the end of the second half standing 42-0 in
their favor The High school team, al
though defeated in such convincing man
ner, made a very creditable showing con-
sidering the number of new players on the
team and the small amount of practice
they have had. The average weight of
the Vermont Academy team is nearly 10
pounds more than that of the High school
boys, and nearly all of the formers men
have had experience in the game. Brat
tleboro, on the other hand, had five men
in the line up who had never been in a
match game before.
BrattlebOros centre was her strong
point, less gains being made through this
part Of the line than through any other
BY superior interference the Academy
backs were able to make long runs around
the ends, and frequently scored touch
downs from the 20 and 30 yard lines.
The Bratteboro backs, all of whom are
new this season, did some good work on
the offensive, but only few times could
they gain the required distance. Whit
man and Monroe played their usual fast
game on the ends, and Lynde, who received
his first taste of foot ball in the game,
gave promise of making an unusually good
guard. All the other men did well and
kept up their spirits remarkably consider
| ing the one-sidedness OF the contest. The
| Vermont Academy has a stronger team in
| the field this season than she has had for
several years, and The High school team Is
at least to be commended for its pluck in
tackling such tough proposition so early
| in the season.

A BrattIebOrO Woman the EmRncipAtOT
OF the broadway Girl.

Now everybody knows that the man in
the whole universe of whom the New York
woman stands most in awe of is Oscar, of
the Waldorf-Astoria, but even Oscar fell
before a dauntless woman from Brattle-
boro, who penetrated his private sanctum
yesterday and without culver calmly
asked the autocrat of the Astoria for his
recipe for salad Olympia a la George
Dewey. A New York woman would no
more have dared to do such thing than
she would venture to ask question of a
Broadway policeman, but her out of town
sister has shown her that such things are
possible, and the aftermath of Dewey day
is bound to be a wide emancipation of the

formed creature, be he motorman, con-
ductor, messenger boy or the lordly head
usher in theatre, for "Peace hath her
victories as we'll as war."-[New York Sun

UtRh's AsphRIt Reds.

IL is telegraphed from Denver that Jo-
seph Letter, acting for Chicago capitalists,
Is attempting TO secure control of the beds
of gum asphaltum, or gilsonite, and as
phaltic limestone lying along White river
in Utah. The importance of these Utah
asphalt deposits has been known for long
time, and near the close of his second term
President Cleveland called the attention Of
Congress to their existence in the follow
ing language:
at appears that a very valuable deposit
of gilsonite, or asphaltum, has been found
on the reservation in Utah occupied by the
Ute Indians Every consideration of care
for the public interest, and every sensible
business reason dictates such management
or disposal of this important source of pub
lie revenue as will except it from the gem
eral rules aud incidents attending the or
binary disposition of public lands, and as
sure TO the government a fair share, at
least, of its advantages in place of its trans
fer for a nominal sum to interested indi-
viduals."
Gum asphaltum, or gilsonite, has been
found to be useful for coating the bottoms
of ships and other woodwork that has to
be submerged in salt water in the warmer
climates, as it protects the wood from the
destructive work of the teredo, which bur
rows the wood, honeycombing it with
holes. The asphaltc limestone is used for
paving, and the steady improvement that
has been made in the way of tempering
and laying it has made il most acceptable
as a pavement for streets where traffic is
not too heavy. From time to time dis
coveries of asphalt have been announced,
but generally these have been bitumen, or
coal tar and of little value as compared
with true asphalt 1t is pity that Presi-
dent Cleveland's common-sense advice in
regard to the Utah deposits has not been
acted upon by the national authorities.
