London, Feb. 2S.-Buller's account

the complacent contemplation of Rob

serious conditions now existing in the

Although Buffers despatch is con-
strucd to be a victory that bravery
has won, he has so often reported
similar victories without achieving
the main object, that the public has
learned to contain it's iublation un-
til Ladysmith is actually relieved.
The long list of casualties is awaited
with dread and anxiety.

results of a non n-observance of Sunday.
When the staff correspondent of the
New York Times reached Kansas City
to attend the Democratic National
convention it was on Sunday and he
found the saloons open. "Sappho"
running at the leading theatre, base
ball game in progress, and beer gar
dens in free operation, not to speak of
the mild dissipation afforded by num-
erous mutoscope parlors. 1t is not
particularly surprising that a news
paper loyal to it's home, should declare
that it's city is a model of virtue and
sobriety. 1t is, however, somewhat
peculiar to note a Vermont paper
swallowing the story of virtue and So
briefly, under the conditions related
by the New York Times. 1t does so of
course because it wants to believe it,
and not because it does believe it. We
do not expect that Vermont is pre-
pared to accept the contemporary
pet hobby of displacing the present
prohibition liquor law with high Ii
cense statute; and until it does it is
not likely to consider the idea of run
ming "wide open" Sunday, such as
seems to meet the approval of the
Burlington high license advocate
Nocthfeld NeaUs.

Orleans county court opened at
Newport last Wedne sday with Judge
Taft presiding with II. D. Chamberlin
and A. D. Mathews assistant judges.
The day was spent in calling off the
docket and arranging the cases for
trial. The special jury in the cases of
Ducharme and Wakefield VS.. Nelson,
Hall & Co. were discharged as the
cases have been settled. The petit
jurors were then excused until next
Wednesday morning when they are
to appear on the case of @. o. Murray
VS.. Barton Landing Spool and Bobbin
Co. The chances are that this term
of court will be short one.

In its issue of Sept 7th the Burling
ton Free = .'ees says SIT is notorious
fact that this county has been food
ed with money in the interests of
Grout, and candidates for the legisla-
ture have been offered large sums of
money by Grout men to be used in
their election if they would vote for
Grout." We would suggest that the
Free Press make thorough investiga-
tion and find how the amount of
money circulated through the towns
of Chittenden county compared with
the amount of Dillingham; money
floating about the town of Calais just
before election in the vain attempt of
the Dillingham; faction to carry that
town. Dillingham's poor showing in
his own county can hardly be attri-
buted to an unwillingness on the part
of his supporters to use the funds at
their disposal. People who live in
glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Although it is impossible to tell to
a certainty at this time who will win
in the contest for the senatorship
Gen. CIRCUITS prospects are most fiat
tering. In answer to telegram from
the St. Albans Messenger asking for
some expression of opinion as to the
result of the election he replied that
he felt confident that he would have
at least one hundred and thirty-fou
votes on joint ballot. AS there are
two hundred and seventy six votes
to be given on joint ballot, one hun
dre9 and thirty nine will be required
for an election. Nearly every repub-
hcan representative elected in the
three north eastern counties of the
state will vote for Gen. Grout for first
choice,- and the few favoring Ross and
Pronty for first choice will favor
Grout as second choice. Only seven
democrats have been elected from
these three counties while like
number have been elected in Wash
ington county alone. Gen. Grout has
also succeeded in breaking the ranks
among the republican anrepresentatives
in Dillingham's home county, which
with the returns from other Sec
tions point to his election

The allies have not come to any
agreement as yet relative to further
action in China. Russia, France, Jap
an and the United States are in favor
of Withdrawing their men from Pekin
while the other powers, following the
lead of Germany, are inclined to re-
main in the capital. The chances
appear favorable for compromise
which will permit of retaining small
army in Pekin and withdrawing the
remainder to I.entsin.

VERMONT Has SPOKEN.

Stickney, republican, 1896 votes,
Senter, democrat, 16,99s, all others
1916. This gives Stickney's plurality
1,468, and majority over all 3O,192.
The republican plurality this year ex-
ceeds by 2691 the average of the last
three presidential years, and by $3.50
the last six off years. This is not up
to the majority given Gov. Grout in
1896, but his majority of 36,98O was a
record breaker. In the senate there
VII be no democrats but about fifty
have been elected to the house, giving
them a larger number than usual, al
though not as many as they have
sometimes had. Many of the larger
cities and towns of the state have
elected democratic representatives,
among them being Burlington, (city),
Saintt Adams, Montpelier, Barre,
and st. Johnsbury. Ine increase in
the number Of democratic represent
atives is due in some instances to the
close contest between Grout and Dill
lingham and in others to the license
question; in the vote for governor
they succeeded in carrying but few
towns in the entire state. The show
ing made in the state this year is
fully as good as had been generally
expected, as it was thought that the
feeling of security would keep many
republican voters from the polls.

Prohibitionists Happy.

y 49, 4
The Prohibitionists are highly jub-
liant over the result of the campaign
in this state. The vote for Woolley,
the cod water nominee for President,
is more than double the Presidential
vote of four years ago. the tota figure
slightly exceeding 5000, as compared
with 4,348. This gain is held to be
the more satisfactory since the total
vote in the state showes falling off
of nearly ten per cent, as compared
with the vote of four years ago. The
vote for governor will be about $3.50,
the light vote being caused by spir-
tied contest between the old parties
for this Office. In Halstad, Norman
county, the Woolley electors received
a plurality, probably the first in the
history of the party in this state
where precinc. has cast its vote for
q Prohibition President Plans have
already been we'll projected for the
prosecution of a campaign of educa-
ton and agitation for the ensuing
two years.
