she has turned back and the enterprise
is baked. IL it is not dead it seems to
be sleeping the sleep of death 80 far as
this city is concerned. We hear of
continued agitation of the project in
the valley of Mad River, but Montpelier
is not the proposed terminal. There is
no question but that the people of that
fertile and prosperous valley have
made up their minds to have a railway.
The building of the Rochester line, and
other projected lines, will intensity
this determination. Every new road
built or projected will add fuel to the
fame that has been kindled up among
the valley communities. Capitalists
interested in projects that lead away
from Montpelier will fan the flame.
"There is tide In the affairs of men
which, taken at its food, leads on to
fortune" In the past Montpelier
has taken its railway tides al their ebt
and this policy has lead to misfortune
1t is time for change. This electric
railway enterprise is at its flood tide
and if this city intends to secure its
benefits it should bestir itself. Delays
are dangerous.

Signs of Distraction.

The agony and Generalization of the
Democratic mind is extreme. 1t is in
Mysteries over the incident of the rival
feasts in New York city, and when it
fees from such trifles to dwell on more
serious things it is only less absurd in
its panic.stricken evolutions. Here is
j. Sterling Morton, President Cleve-
lands head of the farm department of
his last administration, warning the
Democracy that, if they are still joined
to the idols of 1896, new party COM
posed of Democrats and Republicans
may be formed, and he suggests George
F. Edmunds for its candidate in the
next national election. This is prepos-
ferrous enough. So absurd PROPOSE
ton could come only from a mind rem
dered desperate by the utter hopeless
ness of its environment. From Ed
munds Mr.. Morton in his distraction
flies to Schurz and Cleveland 'as good
types of the man that ie wanted" Mr..
Edmunds is Republican and his po-
litical loyalty and his mental sound
ness do not mark him as the man to
initiate The folly of Horace Greeley in
1872 Mr. Schurz is not eligible and
people have no use for the man who
has betrayed every political party to
which he has joined himself, and who
holds the attitude of a truculent oppo-
nent of the government of the coun-
try of his adoption. The country, Just
rising from the industrial death infilct-
ed by Cleveland, is not enamored of
that type of man. For Democrats
who would shun the evils of Organism,
past or prospective, who would have
no companionship with the ill-assorted
company that will gather under the
banner of Democracy in 1900, there is
no retreat to third party. The Pal
mer and Buckner ticket in 1896, re-
ceived only 133, 200 votes. There will
be but two parties and the one that
will represent financial health and true
Americanism will be the Republican.
If Mr. Morton cannot feel at home in
that party, and will not make his bed
with the other, he will have to tempo
rarily abdicate his citizenship.

the Cuban republic in Washington,
takes a hopeful view of the situation in
Cuba, and believes that everything will
come out right in the end. He recent
ly said: 81 think we are going to get a
fair deal. l think the United States
will deal honestly with Cuba, and that
CUBA is worthy of the sacrifices that
have been made in her behalf by the
United States" He thinks the ques-
ton of annexation is one that should,
and will, be left until Cuba has gov
eminent and Congress properly elect
ed by its people to decide whether it
would prefer maintaining an independ-
ent republic or being annexed to the
United States. He is perfectly salts
fled that the American people would
not consent to the annexation of Cuba
upon any other basis than the request
of majority of itspeople. And Senior
Quesada is entirely right in what he
says and the opinions he has formed.
SENATOR HANsBRoUGH, of North

longed all of the misdoings of the con.

Freedom and civilization are having

HENLEY REGATTA ENDS.
There Were No Surprises and No
Close Finishes.

HENLEY ON-THAMES, July THE
Henley Royal regatta came to an end I'M
der the most favorable conditions. The
weather today was perfect, but the at
tendance was not so numerous as usual.
The racing contained no surprises and no
close finishes. There was a feeling of re-
lief, however, when, in the Stewards cup,
Magdalen disposed so easily of the Ger
man crew that many had predicted would
win. The cheers which greeted the win
ners were much heartier than those given
to any other victor, and they empha-
sized the general joy that the trophy was
not to be taken abroad. There was also
much enthusiasm when the young Eton-
ians fairly rowed down their strong OPP
ponents, Pembroke college, in the Ladies'
challenge plate, and re-established their
claim as the holders of this trophy. How
ellis victory in the Diamond challenge
SOULS also immensely popular.
When Lady Esther Smith presented the
prizes, after the races, Col. william, the
umpire, made a brief speech, in which
he welcomed the foreign crews to Hen
ley. He said:
I'VE are especially glad to renew &C
quaintance with the Argonauts, who
made such a favorable impression when
they were here two years ago. They are
good sportsmen. and roWed their races
out to the end in bulldog spirit We like
to see that they made a broad bid for
the Grand, and, although we should be
extremely sorry to part with the cup,
there is no place we would rather see
it go than to Canada"
When Gold came up to receive the prize
for the Grand and for the Stewards, he
was greatly cheered in recognition Of the
skill with which he had pileted the two
crews to victory. Gold stroked the Lean
ders when they defeated Yale.
