Keeping up the Issue.

II any one thinks that ex-Speaker
Reed has lost his power since his re.
tirement from public life he had
better change his opinion very soon
as he will be for many years one of
the leading statesmen in the country.
At the annual banquet of the New
York Chamber of Commerce he was
one of the principal speakers and
spoke very strongly upon the gold
standard. Among other good things
Mr.. Reed said:
New York is the acknowledged finan-
cial centre of the great republic. While
this high position is not without its ieal-
ousies and enemies yet it is the great
power for good which ought to be
exerted for the benefit of the whole
country.
DO not forget that in a great and
widespread nation such as we have there
are other questions besides money to be
discussed and settled. If the standard
ques ion drags too long on the roadway.
some impatient horsehoof NAV strike it
into he mud.
Il am not obtruding politics upon this
assembly. That would be out OF place.
Without any reference to its political sig
nihcance take the vote of Ohio. Two
years ago when we were in earnest and
the question OF monetary standard
was fully before the people the candidate
who represented the gold standard re-
ceived 526 600 votes and all his oppon-
ents received was 1885, 900. That was
10000 majority. This year the republi-
can candidate had but $4,000 plurality
while third candidate had 1OO, 900
votes. In the old days when majority
over all was required there would have
been no election. l do not enter into the
question OF whether such an opposition
can be united think it could not, never.
theless that is chance which had better
not be taken. But it is not the figures
themselves that are OF much account.
I'VE have discussed many currency
questions and do not agree but there Is
one thing on which we all agree, and that
isthe basis ofall currency the standard on
which we all egreed, are all willing to
trust our prosperity"

ADVERTISING RATES.

Burlington would like to furnish
the next candidate for lieutenant
governor on the republican ticket
and the Waterbury Record says that
Burlington people want c. P. Smith
to enter the lists. Mayor Roberts is
also to be considered if the Queen
City names the candidate, so the Re-
cord says. The first city in the state
has many men that could creditabIy
fill this office and the best of them all
is Hon. Elihu B. Taft, man of cul-
ture and wide knowledge Of public
affairs.

Quite Severely Punctured.

The Newport Express printed two
weeks ago a well.written article
by Charles F. Ranney en-
dorsing Interstate Commissioner
Prouty for the United States Senate.
The writer said that Mr.. Prouty was
appointed on the interstate commerce
commission by having his name
unanimously selected from notable
array of Vermonters. Mr.. Prouty
has made a most able member of this
commission, but the history of his
appointment is rather interesting
and correspondent Of the Newport
Express gives us this interesting bit
OF political history:
Before Mr.. Prouty's name was consid
cred by the president or thought OF by
anyone, he signi6ed his willingness to ap
point William Grout as lone OF sufficient
ability" being fully determined that ut
would not do to lower the standard. ("
But Mr.. Grout declined the appointment
and selected the name OF his friend,
Charles. A. Prouty, which was endorsed
by the delegation and pressed upon the
president by Mr.. Grout and Others till
the appointment came.
The friends OF Mr.. Prouty must
contine themselves to facts if they
hope to land him in the United
States Senate and his boomis already
quite severely punctured by the letter
above quoted.

State of Religion in Vermont.

The New York Observer has been
making a canvass of the New England
states to see if religion is really on
the decline as Gov. Rollins of New
Hampshire asserted in his famous
Thanksgiving message of 1898 and
as many Others continually assert.
The Observer quotes Rev. c. H. Mer-
rill OF st. Johnsbury, secretary of the
Vermont Domestic Missionary
Society, upon the conditions in this
state and charac terizes Mr.. Merrill
"as the ablest of the state home
missionary secretaries" Mr.. Mer.
rill's report is very encouraging and
is in part as follows:
There are NO town centers where
there has been such a lapse as you out.
line, although there are places where a
newspaper correspondent or missionary
IN search OF story to report might
write up moving and true tale OF spirit
ual destitution.
"Of late years we have been working
in such places until at present l cannot
name single town center where there
are no regular religious services with a
consequent lapse into practical heather.
ism. AS for the CORES between the
parishes, there is, and always has been,
more or less religious need. But of late
aggressive missionary work has been
done from adjacent centers OF influence,
i.e., from churches already established.
The plant is sufficient. 1t needs to be
used to better advantage"

An Attempted Wreck.

An attempt was made last week to wreck
one of the cars on the electric railway
when returning from Montpelier to
Barre, by placing rocks on the track.
Some of the rocks tasked the strength of
a man to remove them.
Fortunately the distractions were
discovered in time to avert an accident.
The lenders to the car were lowered to the
rails, the car ran slowly, a sharp look
out kept and when the rocks too heavy
for the fender to dislodge were encount-
cred, the car was stopped and they were
removed by the trainmen. Some of the
stones were so placed that the wheels
might run up their shelving surfaces and
the car be ditched, The company has a
clew to the perpetrator.

December Magazines.

The Christmas number Of the
Ladies Home Journal is ready, and
comes out with an especially bright,
attractive title page, suggestive OF
the season. Mr.. Dooley's new serial,
MOLLY Donahue," commences in
this number. A story of Christmas
in the Colonial period, a glimpse of
Christmas in the far West, a picture
OF the same festive time in New
England are some of the attractions.
In contrast there are photographs
of summer day scenes and country
homes.
Particularly for the holidays are
suggestions of gifts for the children
and the older people; dainty dishes
for the Christmas dinner; pretty
fancy trimmings for the new gown
or to freshen an old one; and a long
list of equally readable articles. The
prospectus for 1900 is given, and
the list contains a most interesting
and pleasing variety of authors and
subjects. This is a magazine which
contains something for every one.
1t is an individual family paper.
In it we find history, fiction, art,
music, matters pertaining to dress
and to the household comfort and
beauty. 1t is welcome visitor every
month in thousands OF homes, and
claims the largest circulation OF any
magazine published. Subscription
price 81 90. Published by the Curtis
Publishing House, Philadelphia, Pa.
With the December number Har.
per's Magazine begins it's hundredth
volume, and enters upon the last six
months of it's fiftieth year. Half
century makes vast difference both
in magazines and the tastes thev
supply-a difference which could only
be understood by a comparison of
the first number of Harper's with the
elaborate Christmas number which
has just been received, and which, as
has been said, opens the hundredth
volume. This Christmas number,
by-the-way, ought to be remembered
for long time, if for only one thing,
that is Mark Twain's short story,
"The Man that Corrupted Hadley-
burg" which will probably be con-
sidered the best tale Mark Twain has
ever written; in any case, whoever
fails to read it will have missed one
of the things that make life worth
living.
In the December number of the
American Monthly Review ofReviews
there is an editorial summary Of the
results of the elections, with discus
sion Of their import as an indorse-
ment of the administrators policy.
The editor also describes the progress
OF the Philippine campaign, the war
in South Africa, and many other
matters of international interest. A
curious chapter in Oriental diplom
acy is contributed by William N.
Brewster, who writes on "China's
Secret Mission to Japan"
In addition to these and numerous
other interesting articles is a review
OF the seasons new books, devoting
special attention to literature for the
young.

The dissatisfaction that existed among
part OF the help in the matter Of wages
at the big dress goods mill of Holden,
Leonard & Co., at Bennington has cul-
minated in strike among the carders.
Eighteen OF the men went out, and only
enough remained to operate eight of the
seventeen sets OF cards in the mill. The
employees asked for an advance of 10
cents day in their pay, which request
was denied. The spinners, who we're
getting 81 81 a day, asked on Friday
afternoon that their wages be raised to
$l.5O. The request was granted.
Always Doing Something Good.
Not content with monopolizing the
intellect OF New England with its editor.
ial page, the great variety and reliability
OF its news and the unusual excellence of
it's illustrations, The Boston Sunday
Herald has just introduced a section
which must appeal to the younger por-
ton OF the household. 1t is devoted to a
collection OF original pictures by The
Herald's own staff artists. These pic
lures are not uproariously funny, but
are intended to interest children, cause a
smile among the middle.aged, and prove
a mine of suggestive good humor to
those who have seen funny pictures all
their lives. Even those who enjoy the
golden tancies OF that age when we
know it all will find smile. You don't
have to read or use magnifying glass
to find the point, Tor the pictures tell the
stories. Place your orders for The Sum
