Playing the mypoorire in PolItIcs.

From the Burlington Free Press
1t is almost a pity to aim darts at the
innocent St Adams Messenger, which os-
trich-like seems to imagine that by stick
ing its head In the senatorial sand it can
conceal its body, claws and all, from the
public, but it will be a genuine kindness
to the contemporary to disclose what a
ridiculous spectacle it is making of itself.
II the Messenger imagnes it is deceiving
the public in relation to its real animus
in connection with the senatorial question,
it is simply deceiving itself.
Those who are posted on Vermont poll
tics know that in trying to appear neutral,
the Messenger is playing the hypocrte in
politics. Most people know that the inter
ests behind the Messenger are opposed 10
the selection of Hon. William p. Dilling-
ham as United States senator, and not a
few people also know that this hostility
had its origin in the manly independence
of Dillingham;, and the latter's refusal TO
bend the knee to the st. Adams influence
which so long dominated the political af-
fairs of Vermont. The Messenger is Of
course so we'll acquainted with the details
that it is not necessary to repeat them al
this time, although they would make in
teresting reading.

The scenic spendor OF New EnglAnd's lake
regions is known the world over, and gradually
these lakes have become the sauntering place OF
hundreds, yes, thousands, Of pleasure seekers
And this popularity Is accounted for in many
ways, but the greatest attraction, no doubt, Is
the pure air which paryades these lake regions.
Fine scenery Is not lacting, neither are the recre
alton features wanting Every lake Ia Northern
New England is beautifully stocked with the
choicest varieties of fish, and fishing alone is an
enticement OF importance.
The Boston & Maine Railroad reaches all Of the
important lakes in the East. including Winnipe-
saukee, Sunapee, Memphremagog, Moosehead,
Rangeley and a hundred others fully as noted.
That the tourist may know OF the varieties and
beauties of the lakes three booklets, Lake Suna
ee,""Lake MemphremagogN and Lakes and
Streams" have been prepared by the General
Passenger Department OF the Boston & Maine
ceipt OF a twocent stamp for each book. Anoth-
er pictorial publication issued by the Company,
known as New England Lakes" is sent upon
receipt OF six cents in stamps and is one OF the
handsomest portfolios ever issued.

In the face of this appalling calamity
we believe our citizens, one and all, are
ready to share their abundance and their
morsel, too, with these unfortunate mill
lions of India whose bitter cry is being
heard around the world
The Boston committee of 100 on India
famine relief, of which Governor W. Muir
ray Crane is chairman, has been organized
recently to render practical assistance in
collecting and transmitting funds from
New England. Its treasurers are the well
known Boston bankers, Messrs. Brown
Brothers and company, who acknowledge
all contributions and forward the same,
free of charge. All contributions should
be sent to Brown Bros. q Co., so State
street, Boston. Let there be a generous
and prompt response.

why the chimes, Hate Foreigners.

Col. Charles DENLY, ex.minister to
Pekin, says in an article on China "Can
it reasonably be expected that the Chinese
should love the white man while he is plum
dering them? Fancy what would happen
if Russia seized Fortress Monroe and a
slice of Virginia; Germany Governors
island and part of New York; England
Mare island and a half dozen counties in
California, and France New Orleans and
hundred miles up the Mississippi. Then
suppose that Italy asked for Charleston.
Is it to be imagined that such events
would be taken as all for our good, and
that we ought to feel rather proud than
otherwise that the great nations acted so
handsomely toward us? Yet this is ex-
actly what has happened in China, with
the addition that Japan took for herself
the island Of Formosa. And so the
Chinese people are hostile to the foreign
ers, and they show it by riotous demon

wha, Might Have Been at Manila,

Massacre is familiar Oriental weapon
The massacre at Pekin is but a successful
application of the policy proposed by
Aguinaldo in Manila.
The plans were laid and the proclama-
ton issued for a massacre of all Americans
in Manila just before hostilities broke out.
The proclamation specified that neither
women nor children were to to be spared.
The rising within Manila was to be accom-
panied by an attack from without, and It
was anticipated that the Americans could
be swept from Luzon at blow.
The large garrison Of Manila and the
vigilant precautions of Gen. Otis prevent
ed this catastrophe but it was planned
and proposed. Like the Pekin massacre
it records the exact nature Of the condi.
tions which render self.government i'm
possible at Manila and the presence of the
United States necessary to peace, law and
civilization.

Help the Starving.

The extent and severity of midas pre-
sent famine is without parallel in the his
tory of that unfortunate country, If not in
the history of the world. The area of the
famine is equal to all New England, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Hi.
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The popu-
latiOn involved exceeds 6O,O00,000. The
number in extreme restitution is estimated
at 25, 100000, The government of India
is providing for 100000; yet so large is
the area involved and so high is the death
rate in the hundreds of native states where
the government has little or no control,
that thousands must perish unless aid is
furnished them soon. Indeed, with all
the aid sent from this country and other
countries, thousands still starve to death
each week.

MISS GowINa's NEW POSITION.
Chosen from 80 Applicants as Teacher
OF French in High school at WOOn-
socket, IL. L.

Chosen from 80 Applicants as Teacher
OF French in High school at WOOn-
socket, IL. L.
The school committee of Woonsocket,
R. l., voted Friday evening to engage Miss
Eva NJ. Gowing of Wakefield, Mass, at a
salary of S700 as teacher of French in the
High school, and to take other work as re-
quired. There were over 80 applicants for
the position. Eight of the applicants
were invited to come to Woonsocket for
examination, and after the ordeal had been
finished Miss Gowing was announced as
the unanimous choice of the school board.
Clerk Trinque, who conversed with Miss
Gowing in French, said: 81 have never
heard better French from a person whose
own tongue is English" Two ladies who
are fluent French conversationalists were
present with the school board, and as Miss
Gowing left the room one of them said
"Why, she even shrugs her shoulders in
French"
The Woonsocket Evening Reporter of
Saturday, from which the above facts are
taken, also said: "Miss Gowing was a
stranger to Woonsocket and Woonsocket
was a stranger to her when she came here
Friday. She graduated from Boston univer-
sity in 1892; taught six years in Brattle-
boro, Vt, High school; then resigned to
go abroad, and has been spending over a
year in European travel and studies, hav-
ing just returned from Paris. She pre-
scented warm recommendations from the
Brattleboro authorities. While at Brattle-
boro she fitted a number of pupils for
Smith college with excellent thoroughness,
as was attested by the committee. She is
prepared to teach most of the branches
usually taught in High schools, and is as
fluent conversationalst in German and
Italian as in French, Miss Gowing is a
cousin of Principal Gowing of the Rhode
Island normal school,"

And ye golfer aimsth at IL carefully;

When the ball within lofty bunker lies,

When he picks II up all gashed,

Ralph. opinion OF the chinese.

Julian Ralph, who recently denounced
the Beers with all the resources Of his pic
turesque vocabulary, now comes forward
with a vigorous defence Of the Chinese.
"Those of us who live 20 years." he de-
claGes, twill see China occupying the place
in our esteem which is now held by Japan.
China may-and probably will--be cut up
and apportloned among the Powers, but
once enlightenment begins TO spread there,
once the gag of awful and cruel misrule
is removed and the shackles of desperate
tyranny is broken, you will see John Chi
naman prove that he has not only better
head than his japanese cousin, the little
black dwarf but that he has plenty of the
right quality Of gray matter in it." Mr..
Ralph, like many Americans who have
seen both races at home, prefers the Chi
nese character to the japanese. While
everybody is abusing the Cinnamon it is
interesting to note this keen observer
judgment that while morally they may dis
appoint our missionaries, like all other
Orientals, the Chinese can give us many
points and then beat us at the game OF
living wisely, well and fairly toward our
fellowmen. - Boston Transcript.
