To Be Erected by Lackawanna Road
on West Lackawanna Avenue.
Work to Begin This Week.

Men employed by the Lackawanna
company have been adjusting ira ks
and getting things In readiness on
the plot of land situated on Lacka-
wanna avenue near Luther 1<eller's
lime Cuse preparatory to the breaki x
of Pround for the new transferring
freight house to be erected On that
site.

transferred has been carried on
through the local freight station, but

ton. In this case the old freight house
will be used for local trade only. The
new building will be 150Xl5O feet and
will be encircled by a track.
The building of the station at this
point will cause the laying of an
other track across Lackawanna ave-
nue.. 1t is expected the work will be
commenced this week.

The Transvaal Dispute.

John Henry Hammond, the Ameri-
can mining engineer who figured
conspicuously in the Jameson raid in
South Africa three years ago, has
stated in a condensed form the
matters in dispute between the Beers
and English. Here are the points at
issue:
when the Uitlanders went first to the
Transvaal the laws were liberal; as they
increased in numbers the laws were
changed; that they own half the land
and pay nine tenths of the taxes; that
the highest court is not allowed to Judge
OF the constitutionality of laws passed
by the legislature; that judges are
removed without trials; that Uitlanders
have their property con6scated and are
banisbed without trial; that only Beers
can sit on juries; that policemen can
break up meetings on their judgments
that not only is residence of fourteen
years required to become citizen, but
permission in writing OF majority oil
the Beers in the ward; even then the
president may object"
1t is to right these wrongs that
England now has in South Africa
nearly 100000 men and every battle
that she wins will bring freedom

Elsewhere in this issue is printed a
copious extract of Hon. Wendell P.
Stafford's address on the Philippines
at Bellows Falls on Dec. 2. 1t is full
OF patriotic utterances and COM
manded the closest attention during
its delivery. The st. Adams Messen-
ger and the Rutland News, and pos
sibly some other papers, have init
mated that oratory and eloquence
do not count in Congress, but the

and as a sample of the style and
patriotism of Mr.. Stafford we sub
NIT the resume of his recent
Bellows Falls address. 1t has been

history and it is no wonder that his
candidacy is attracting wide atten.

ESTABLISHED INls2t BY sAnUEL BowLEs

The Republican was established rs years ago
to publish the news fully, fairly, truthfully,
and to sustain and extend democratic prn-
ciples. 1t is still faithful to it's original
high mission.
The Republican gives the news of opinion as
well as of fact in broad and catholic
spirit. 1t presents all of its news in attrac-
tive, convenient and interesting form. 1t
carefully studies and conscientiously serves
the interests of it's readers.
The Republican firmly believes in the Amer
lean principles Of government and society.
1t does not doubt that through democracy
are the people to attain the largest practi-
cable measure of happiness and well-being;
not alone the people of the United States.
but gradually, ultimately all the peoples of
the earth. 1t is opposed to imperialism
and militarism, to the domination of
wealth and aristocracy. 1t sees in the pur-
chase and conquest of the Philippine is
lands new evidence of the unceasing effort
of incorporated and syndicated wealth to
conduct national affairs in the selfish inter-
est of class at the expense of the great
body of the people.
The Republican has profound faith that a
larger prosperity, greater power and
wider influence are to be attained for the
United States by strict adherence to our
traditional principles in the home govern
ment and in foreign relations, than by an
imitation of the policies and methods of
the European monarchies. 1t believes in
the expansion Of our commerce everywhere,
and of orr dom ain over contipunuc terri-
tory, by peaceful and natural processes.
To the advancement of these ideas The Re-
publican dedicates itself anew in this time
of the republics peril from misguided foes
in its own household.
The general features of The Republican are
interesting and valuable. Its editoria
page is strong, progressive and comprehen-
sive. Liberal attention is given to ltera-
ture. The special correspondence is of a
high character. The Sunday Republican is
especially rich 'in fiction, instructive
sketches, poetry, special articles and mis-
cellaneous reading of excellent quality. 1t
is in effect first,cass weekly magazine as
well as a superior newspaper. The Weekly
Republican is an admirable news, political
| and family paper combined. 1t is carefully
edited and arranged and furnishes the best
editorials and general features from the
Daily and Sunday issues, with full review
of the current news. 1t is especially valu.
able for New Englanders at home or

An Error of Judgment.

Our friend Editor Ropes OF the
Waterman is getting excited early in
the campaign. He is evidently much
disturbed over our comments last
week on the senatorial situation,
and among other extravagant things
intimates that the article in last
weeks CALIFORNIAN was written by
Gen. Grout. We had not supposed
it so able as to warrant that sus.
picion, but the green eyes of the
Montpelier editor see Gen. Grout in
everything.
This paper is not edited from
Washington and the only Washing.
ton correspondent we have signs mi
tials to the letters. The editorials
that appear in this paper are the
creations of the EDITORS brain and
the imaginations of our contempo-
rary are somewhat amusing as well
as hattering.
Out OF his imagination, also, he
magni6es Mr.. Prouty's candidacy,
which he gravely tells his readers
threatens Gen. CIRCUITS lines in the
northeast. Everyone in this part of
the state knows that this is all
moonshine, but the visionary editor
of the Waterman thinks it is true or
he would not say so. We cannot
better dismiss this vagary than by

POLITE USAGE IN THE THIRD
CENTURY

The papyri discovered by Mr.. Grenfell
and Mr.. Hunt at Oxyrhyncus, and now
published by the Egypt Exploration
fund, show that the forms of "society"
have not altered very much since the
early centuries of our era Here is an in
vitation to a wedding breakfast in the
third century: "Herais requests your
company at dinner in celebration of the
marriage of her children at her house
tomorrow, the 9Th, at nine o'clock"
And here is a letter from an Egyptian
to his wife or some other female rela-
ton, which is startlingly modern in
tone: Greeting, my dear SERENA,
from Petosiris. Be sure, dear, to come
up on the goth for the birthday festival
of the god, and let me know whether
you are coming by boat or by donkey
in order that we may send for you ac-
cordingly. Take care not to forget I
pray for your continued health" Pail
