BEAR 1T IN MIND.

AS is usually the case the men mosG
to be feared by the opposing party
get the largest amount of abusive
epithets, and during this campaign
President Mckinley and Mark Hanna
seem to be singled out by our Demo-
cratic neighbors as being the most
ft subjects to pummel. The ordi-
nary Democrat does not want a real
easy job in the fighting political line,
apparently, or he would tackle easier
subj ects. So far as is known Presi-
dent Mckinley has followed the lines
laid down by Congress in the Spanish
American war, and the Philippine
situation is but a continuation of it.
prolonged unnecessarily, as many
patriotic citizens really believe, by
aid directly and indirectly given in
these Uuited States.
1t may be proper enough to hang
to party lines, but there is a broader
plane that should take precedence
and that is patriotism to ones coun-
try, whether it be a native or an
adopted one, Observation-Disclosures
and abide by what Congress dictates
shall be the policy. In the unpleas-
antness with Spain it was the repre-
sentatives of the people that forced
President Mckinley to act, and it
would seem to the candid observer
that a consistent Democrat should
not desert a cause his party leaders
espoused, and some fought for. when
the President has done so we'll, in the
carrying out of it. This is what is
styled imperialism" in this cam
paign.
Our first Observation-Disclosures
was not free from a similar charge,
though classed a little diff erently-
for kingship and as posing for a die
tator-but the hundred and odd
years of the existence of the United
States has seen no such result,
through all the coming and going of
Federal, Wing, Republican, Demo-
cratic and Republican (again) par
ties that have been in power.
No one can question but what there
are good men in all parties, but how
many are there in both who wish to
go back to primitive processes-the
canal tow path and stage coach?
Most of them seem to be fairly con-
tented with the fast railroad trains,
trolley cars, bicycle, automobile, etc.
The Republican party does not
claim to have invented all these mod
ern improvements and put them in
everyday use, but does say that dur
ing it's ascendeacy most of them have
come into popular favor.
we suppose UnlS was a SOfU OF 'eX-
pansion" that seems to be SO unpop-
ular, with some folks, this fall; sort
of an imperialism" it might be
termed. If to enlarge, to make the
nation stronger and more far reach
lug in civilization methods, increased
markets for our products, in which
laboring men, business men and
farmers benefit, then the more of it
the better, but laboring men should
be of the very last ones to seek a
change, and it is more than probable
that this will be very apparent when
the ballots are counted in November.

The UniversaIlst Convention.

The Universalist Convention of
Vermont and Province of Quebec
held its Sixty-seventh Annual Ses-
sion at Rutland last week, beginning
Monday evening, Sept. "a and clos
ing on Thursday evening, Sept. 81.
1t was one of the most largely at
tended, interesting, enthusiastic and
profitable ever held in the State by
the denomination. Reports showed
that there had been very material
gains in all departments of the work,
but in its financial gains it hadfar X
ceeded the most anguine hopes. Not
only did these reports show that
more had been given for mission airy
and other purposes, than ever before,
but that the surplus in the treasury
was still larger than ever before.
Much of this excellent financial
showing was due to the untiring
efforts and careful management of
the Rev. DR.. l. P. Booth, who for
several years now, has been the Con
vention Secretary, and therefore it's
practical financial head. The Con
vention showed it's appreciation of
his efforts, by unanimously electing
him to this responsible office for
another year.
The Convention has been gradual
ly gaining from year to year, and is
now practically triple convention,
although under one general head
divided as follows:-
The State Y. P. c. u, the State
Convention Proper and The Wom-
ans Missionary Association. 1t is
thus divided for the greater conven-
fence of carrying on the work.
Under the auspices of state Y. P.
{. U, the interest of the young peo-
pie is found to be more easily
aroused and more readily made to
subserve the interest of the church at
large, because giving to them a
greater responsibility in respect to
themselves. And they have never
been known to disappoint the hopes
of even those most pessimistic friends.
The same can be said of the Wom-
ans Missionary Association. 1t is
in every a true handmade of
the convention.
At its last election of officers Mrs.
Marie Tinker was elected President
of the Association and Rev. Ehe K.
Jones of Barre Vice President. With
these two untiring workers at the
head, a good measure of success is
already assured it for the coming
year.
The convention proper, SO called,
has in hand the work in general, and
is the power that keeps the machin-
cry in order and in operation.
A move is now being made to put
into the field a general superintend-
emit, whose entire time shall be given
to the interests of the church at
large, throughout the state, Such a
scheme has been entered upon in
several other states, and it has
proven highly commendable, and
worthy of imitation. AS such a
move would be in line of the policy
outlined and urged by the United
States General Convention of Uni
versalists, the Vermont State Con-
vention is anxious to fall into line
with the policy thus outlined.
The growth of the work in the
state for the past few years has
made some such move almost a
necessity, and the financial condition
of the demonstration will now war
rant it.
If the present outlookis continued,
it will not be long before this de-
nomination will take rank equal in
strength and numbers to that of
any in the state.

HOBSON on DEWEY'S VICTORY.
Tells How His Interview at Vancouver Was
Distorted,

NEW YORK, September 25.-Lieut.
Richmond Pearson Hobson, who ar
rlgea in this city last night, having
come from Yokohama by way of Van
couver, was seen at the Plaza Hotel
this morning. The Lieutenant de-
clared that the interview in which he
vas quoted as belittling Admiral
Dewey, victory, vas distorted. He
SAID the only reason the Spanish YES
sells went to the bottom was because
Dewe. 5 war-ships made it so hot FOR
them that the Spaniars We're forced
to open the sea cocks. All the sunk
en- vessels. according to Lieut.. Hob
son, were we'll riddled with shells.
and he thinks that Admiral Dewey de-
serves all the honors that he has re-
ceived. He said that he had o writ
ten to the Admiral regarding the in
terview, because he did o think it
warranted serious attention. He says
that he will call on the Admiral at the
first opportunity.
THE whole fabric of that silly warn
a formed out of the following Incl
dent:
"As soon as | arrived at Vancouver
| a approached by a correspondent,
who asked me about the Spanish war
ship which | had been repairing at
Hong Kong. Among other things l
said that the interior of all the sunk
EN- ships were very much warped: that
the metal work was rusted, and alto
gether the vessels were in "a sorry
condition.
Ibid Dewey do all that / was
asked. l replied that the seven
months submersion, and not the Ad-
miral. vas responsible for what | had
described. then explained that the
Spaniards had sunk their vessels BY
opening the sea cocks. | also ex-
planned that it was the she'll fire of

view"
