Vermont in Congress.

Mr.. EDITOR. The capital OF q great
nation is the Hub of political ma
chincrv. not alone of the country in
which such capital is located, but in "a
measure Ofth whole world.
Here it is of all other places that
regulations have been established and
as often destroyed without the SEM
bLuce of Justice, simply 90 satisfy the
evil genius of political metaphysics.
10 is here that official positions are at %
premium, and as "a general thing fail
TO the friends of the first chosen, or %
such as may exhibit the fairest face
and nine times out of ten such faces
are sure 30 win.
Politics are indeed a very important
thing for chosen officials until they
obtain what they want and it is then
that a great majority of them will turn
their backs on the rest Of Office seek
ers, who may have given time and
money to advance their interests. and
tell them they can do nothing for them
as there are no vacancies or that they
will have to pass an examination such
as may be prescribed by u favored
official "Oh justice, where is thy
virtue g7
It is here that all classes from all
sections are represented. The charac-
tiers of great and good men have been
assailed by INSCRIPTIONS miscreants,
who have nothing to gain and nothing
to lose, and generally it is with great
caution that a statesman pursues his
duties to the people and his country.
The Green Mountain state has been
represented by men who have always
been tree from any insinuation of
wrOng-doing and even the vilest
scamp has not thought il prudent 20
modest their character.
The late Hon. Justin s. Morrill,, who
50 long and well represented the state
IN the senate chamber, was a Olthy
representative of all that makes a man.
Though not a public debater, the depth
of thought was plainly indicated by
his acts which are and ever will be a|
lasting tribute to the memory Of al
great statesman, noble and pure, and
his successor, it is hoped, will follow
IN his footsteps, Gen. Grout repre-
sents the state in the House, aS did
Morrill, in the Senate. HIS long ex-
perience in the halls Of legislation and
as a member of the committee on APP
places him among the lead
ing statesmen of the day. He has ever
been faithful in the discharge of his
duties and loyal to the people he so
well represents. HIS counsel and adj
vice are sought by his associates i'm
Congress and he is regarded as a safe
man to trust upon all great questions
the welfare OF the country.
Such experience has truly fitted him TO
combat against the enemies of good
government and sound financial cur
rency. Not alone does this entitle him
10 recognition, but when this country
was threatened by temporary dissolu- |
ion he went forth to battle the enemies |
Of united country and put himself in |
| position to sacrifice his life II need /
DC to preserve and maintain the unity |
If states and perpetuate the loyalty to |
country of our people from the old |
ireen Mountain state. No stronger !
lain TO recognition can be presented. |

The various Dewey testimonial
schemes are in a languishing condition
at present, though some of them may
take a brace with the admirars return.
The most conspicuous failure is the so.
called dewey Home" scheme, first
proposed by the Brooklyn Eagle. In
spite of the most vigorous booming
and the endorsement Of the navy de-
partment, only about Sl2, 200 las been
raised. For Dewey Hall at Norwich
University-the only testimonial that
the admiral has openly approved
over $4,000 has thus far been sub
scribed. The Dewey statue fund,
which contemplates the placing of the
admirals statue in marble opposite
that Of Ethan Allen at the state house
entrance, has not been reported lately.
There is some speculation as to why
these schemes do not flourish better.
Their multiplicity is doubtless one
reason. Then there is a suspicion
that certain people, in suggesting this
thing or that, are seeking to promote
their own interests-to trade on
Dewey's greatness. The history of
public testimonials shows that it is no
new thing for popular movements Of
this nature to result in failure. 1t is a
very difficult thing to enlist peoples
money in this way. They either have
their own IDEAS as to propriety, or
they DO not let their enthusiasm I'M
clasp their pocket6ooks. When
Dewey arrives, there will be a tremen-
dous expenditure Of money in welcom-
ing him and many people think this
and the other honors that have and
will be showered upon him are suffi-
cient.

q Roers for tbe Jameson raid

the Beers for the jameson raid.
The Boer is described by the Tit
lander as slow, unprogressiye, stub
born and unreasonable, but he is also
intelligent, industrious, frugal and
brave. One cannot but pity this peo-
pie and wish that kinder fate was IN
store for them. History fails to show
a single instance where a minority
have long controlled a majority, when
that majority had equal intelligence.
Sooner or later, the Beers must yield
to the inexorable. But for the pres
ence OF gold, the day Of their subiec-
ton, peaceful or otherwise, would have
been longer delayed.
1t seems high-handed for Great Brit
ain to interfere and say to the Beers,
you SHALL do thus and so with our
subjects who are down digging the
gold out of your ground for their BEN
eft, " but the pressure is great to have
just this done and the present negotia-
tons between President Kruger and
Sir Charles Miner are intended 10 ac-
complish it. The Beers are not fools
and to postpone the inevitable they
may make some concessions, allowing
the mining district more representa-
ton in their government, but the hand
OF fate has certainly in store the SUI
