as Abraham Lincoln, the boatman. The

This will go on until you will have

that. congratulate you also at the op-

Sailing for the Cup.

In 1851 the America went over to
England and won the cup offered as
a prize to the fastest sailing yacht,
taking it away from very much
surprised lot of English yachtsmen.
In 1857 the cup was presented to
the New York Yacht Club, to be used
as trophy in International
races. Because this country has
brought out the feetest boats, the
Americas cup has remained on this
side OF the water ever since that time.
Many attempts have been made by
the yachting interests OF England
and Scotland and Canada to take it
away from us, but Yankee ingenuity
has thus far been able to design and
build sailing crafts that could show
heels to anything the foreigners could
bring over here. At present the
Shamrock, owned by Sir Thomas
Upton, is contesting with our own
Columbia for the possession of the
cup. Three times have the races been
started, off Sandy Hook, but on each
occasion the wind has not been brisk
enough to allow the completing of
the conrse by either yacht within the
time limit, and each race has been
declared off. The Shamrock shows
speed, and this fact materially in
'creases the general interest in the re-
suit of the struggle. The Columbia
has not disappointed those who have
pinned their faith to her prize win
ming qualities, and is expected to de-
feat her rival the necessary number
of times when the wind really gets
ready to permit finish within the
allotted time. Bulletins from the
races are eagerly sought for even by
people who live at remotest points
inland; for it is an international af-
fair, you know, and we do not intend
that the English yacht shall have
that cup unless she earns it.

State Finances.

We have received the official state
ment showing the receipts and dis
bursements Of the state of Vermont
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1899 1t covers the period filled by
Henry F. Field, state treasurer, from
July 1 to Oct. 6, 1898, and by John
L, Bacon, his successor, from the lat
ter date to the end of the financial
year The total receipts were ST.
413, 1921 55 and the cash on hand
and in banks at the close of the year
was $133, 653 81. The resources for
the next nscal year are figured at
1919, 34S 33 and liabilities at $780,
739 At, leaving available for the
year ending June 80, 1900, the sum
of $54S,510.S6. The collateral in
heritance tax brought into the treas
ury during the fiscal year, $13 GEL
80, and from peddler's licenses
only $50 was realized. The excess
of profit on liquor agency sales for
the year ending Feb. 1899 was in
round numbers $1500-showing that
the state is not receiving much Of a
revenue from this source.

The New York World.

The most widely circulated weekly"
newspaper in America is the Thrice-a-
Week edition of The New York World,
and with the Presidential campaign now
at hand you cannot do without it. Here
are some of the reasons why it is easily
the leader in dollar year journalism.
1t is issued every other day, and is to
all purposes daily
Every week each subscriber receives IS
pages and often during the "busy" season
"a pages each week.
The price is only $1.00 per year.
1t is virtually daily at the price of a
weekly.
Its news covers every known part of
the world. No weekly newspaper could
stand alone and furnish such service.
Its political news is absolutely impair
tial. This fact will be of especial value in
the Presidential campaign coming on.
The best of current fiction is found in
its columns.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and The CALIFORNIAN together one year
Tor 1920.

Tomorrow we-that is, the people
of the state-give an Eat home" at
Montpelier, in Dewey's honor, and
the occasion bids fair to be the most
notable one that Vermont has ever
INDUCED in. The welcome given the
gallant naval commander by the
people of his own town and state
will be exceedingly sincere and heart
felt. New York and Boston may Or
ganize longer parades and do the
welcome business on a larger scale !;
but when it comes to the quality of
the greeting, there are several reasons
why that at Montpelier tomorrow
will be far ahead OF anything that a
metropolis can bestow. St. Johns,
bury will send her Knights Tenn
plar and her Knights of Pythias,
and her band, and a great many in
dividual citizens over to the capital
city to aid in the celebrations but
the stay-at-homes here and in other
sections OF the state will not be to the
slightest degree open to suspicion as
lacking appreciation of what the
hero of Manila has done.

The Sword of Dewey.

"He beareth not the sword in vain; he Is
minister of God, an avenger for wrath to hin
that doeth evil" Romans xiii. 4.
Swift We men of peace, arise
From your lesser dreams.
Hold the hero in your eyes
Welcome him with winged cries!
Fair his falchion CLEANS.
Fulgcnt in our larger skies,
Glimpsed by men afar
10, gracious star
IT'S the sword that bafiled Spain.
#They shall honor it,
Through whose vexed and darkened brain,
Dull to ken broken chain,
Aimless visions fit.
IT'S the sword that not in vain
Waged immortal fight,
Leading sons of light!
When, slow; mo wing from eclipse
Ger wars Seraphim,
Gods wide purpose earthward dips,
Then the thunder of his ships,
Freedoms battle hymn,
Chanted strong by cannon-lips
To the sea-girt strand,
Shall #their heart command
Ay, the hero whom we greet
Drew a pregnant blade.
When the guns upon his fleet
Oped new pathways for our feet
With their cannonade!
And where tropic blooms are sweet
We, with soul elate,
Build Saxon state.
Liberty in Saxon law
Makes for human veal
Though in motive free from flaw,
Yet upon the front of war
Must we prove our steel!
For the Orient kneels in awe
OF the champing steed,
Ere he kneels to creed.
With new laurels on our brow
Looms our larger toll!
Der far seas beneath our Prov
Fare we forth with freedoms vow.
Not to find us spoil
And, our hand upon Gods plough,
Meier shall we look back,
Nor in valor lack.
*The Fiipinos.

There is a good deal of boyishness
about all this discussion as to who
shall have the credit for assigning
Dewey to the command which re-
suited in his being at Manila at just
the right time. Gov. Roosevelt of New
York is quite sure that he recon-
mended Dewey's appointment Sec
rotary Long is quite as sure that he
himself did it; and representative
of the st. Adams Messenger is abso-
lutely certain that the Admiral told
him that Senator Proctor was re.
sponsible for his appointment. Some
body is evidently little mixed on
this particular subject. But the peo-
pie at large care very little about
where this responsibility lies. The
fact they have been most interested
in is that Dewey was there and did a
very thorough piece of work with
the Spanish fleet.

Politics in Other States.

Twelve states are to hold elections |
next month. Vermont has no work |
OF this kind on hand for the present
fall-that is, no immediate action to
take. She is somewhat busy getting
ready for what promises to be the
liveliest campaign she has seen for
many two years, and next year
will have her hands more than full,
not only in deciding which one of the
numerous candidates for the govern
orship shall be put 1T the head of the
ticket, but also in solving two con-
gressional district problems and
electing successor to the late Justin
S. Morrill,. When one sits right down
to think about it, he discovers a
large array ofpoltical entertainment
in store for the Vermont voters in the
year1900
For the present, however, after
Dewey is appropriately greeted, we
can look on and enjoy the campaigns
in other states.
Iowa will choose governor and
legislature, and she has FIVE tickets in
the ZELDA comparatively new one
being the United Christian party.
Kentucky elects state officers and
legislature and has an especially in
teresting fight to settle because of
the nomination of an independent
democratic ticket.
Massachusetts will choose a goy-
ernor and legislature, and the recent
performance ofthe democrats in state
convention there gives promise of
badly divided forces and a cores
pondingly greater chance for the re-
publican party to pile up an astonish-
ing majority.
Five state tickets claim the atten-
ton of the Marylanders,
Mississippi votes on an amendment
to the state constitution, and the
prospective election OF a United
States senator by the legislature
adds zest to the campaign there.
Nebraska has only Judge of the SUI
preme court and two university re-
gents to elect, and is not the center
OF any special enthusiasm.
New Jersey elects part OF its legisla
ture, and New York willchoose mem
bers OF the general assembly.
A state treasurer and judge Of the
supreme court will be ballotted tor ir
Pennsylvania, and there are four tic
kets in the field.
South Dakota elects chief Justice
and two associates, and no nomina
tions have been made thus far except
ny the republicans.
Virginia elects legislature which
will name United States senator.
But the people generally are more
particularly interested in the guber
material contest in Ohio. An ener
getic campaign is being waged there
and the democrats are making a biz
effort to elect Mclean. The fact tina
this is McKinley's state, and Hanna
state, adds to the flavor of the fight

The news from the Philippines is
not especially encouraging. No dis
tinct advance is being made by our
forces-that is, an advance which
brings any nearer the end of the war.
The determination of the administra-
ton to send Gen. Otis more men-
reinforcements enough to crowd the
natives into a willingness to surren-
der-will strike the popular mind as
a very sensible thing to do; and the
sooner the country is out of that I'M
fortunate snarl in those far-away
islands, the better shall we all feel.

The experience of the transport
Siam, in getting to Manila, was
somewhat disastrous-about the
first piece Of hard luck that has
dropped in upon us in the transport
tation OF men, animals and supplies
to the Philippines. The vessel ran
into couple of typhoons and over
three hundred valuable mules were
lost. This is regarded by the depart.
ment as a serious drawback to the
United States forces, as the mule
plays very important part in the
campaign against the Filipinos.

and the result will be looked upon as
an endorsement or condemnation of
the administration.
There is no indication that the out
come in these twelve states, as a
whole, will involve any menace to
the republican party. Local issues
will be prominent and decisive factors
in many instances.

Senator Hanna rises in wrath over
the report that he had attempted to
interfere with the Presidents recent
conference with Admiral Dewey.
The Ohio senator ought to have
realized by this time that three-quar-

should be taken with not several,
but many, grains of allowance.
