Charles A. Prouty evidently thinks
that Gen. Grout is the only candidate
1 for senator who is formidable enough
to be worthy Of mention, as he does
not even alude to the others in pre-
senting his own claims to the people
Barton Monitor.
1t is IA somewhat remarkable docu-
ment, and those who take the trouble
to read it through will be led to be-
lievc at least three things namely;
That Mr. Prouty wants to be senator.
with IA desire that is intense: that he
he is not open to the suspicion of being
bashfuI IN making his want known:
and that he is very deeply impressed
with his ability to furnish first class
senator in the person of himself. st.
Johnsbury Caledonian.
Mr.. prouty's TRADE against man
who has been tried and proved should
not be swallowed whole. The voters
of Orleans county and elsewhere
should read between the lines and
seek the motive. And all the while
it should be remembered that Charles
A. prouty is the railroad candidate.

Possibly Mr.. Prouty will make IA hit
by this method but we doubt it. If
Mr.. Prouty had devoted more space
to his own qualifications and less to
bouncing on his opponents, we believe
his pamphlet would have had better

up yourself by tearing down another,

the camp of his political opponents.
Opinion seems to he divided as to
the effect Of the explosion. Some con-
slider that it VIII wreck Gen, Grout's
chances beyond hope of redemption,
while others opine that the lively

tard.
One thing is agreed. 1t was IA de-
cided novelty in Vermont politics.
Candidates IN this state have hereto
fore reached the reading public
through the medium of" the news
papers. Mr.. Prouty quite likely would
have followed the time honored
course, but for an unfortunate condl-
ton that confronted him. He had no
newspaper support-in his county, ut
least. However, he makes the best of
his circumstances, and relying on Il

worked last year for 80 cents should
receive 81, and those who received 30
last year should receive Al cents this
year for day work.
The piece fires is what is making
the difficulty. When the settlement
was made the tool sharpenerS asked
for y cents on piece fires, or 1910 per
day for 10 men, but this was not ac-
cepted or ratified by the granite
manufacturers association. The only
thing which will be granted, 50 far, is
"a cents per man for eight to ten men.
This was offered in payment yester-
day to piece men and was accepted by
them under protest.
One or two of the manufacturers
refused to pay the p cts. and the
blacksmith not wishing to accept any
thing less made shut down of these
sheds.
The men who are working by the
day are perfectly satisfied as they have
received their increase, but the men
running piece fires think they are en-
titled to the increase of l67 per cent
which would give them 81 cts. per
man for. 10 men, but the manufact-
urers say they are entitled to only "A
cents per man for 10 men.
The agreement reads that gang
shall consist of fourteen and not more
than sixteen for day men, but piece
fires gang consists Of from eight to
ten men.
The committee of the tool sharpen
ers and that of the granite manufac-
turers have this matter in hand now
and there is no doubt but an amicablc
will be arrived at.

There IS likely to be but one gener
aloplnion among NermOntcrs concern
ing Admiral Dewcy's declared inten.
tiOn OF being a candidate for the
presidential nomination, and that is
that he is not only making the mis-
take Of his life, from the view point
of personal diplomacy and expediency,
but that he is deliberately placing
himself in the way of receiving a hui
initiating rebuke. st. Adams Mes
senger.
There is no doubt that the people,
in the larger sense have looked with
exceeding favor upon the proposition
of his name, and that when it was
first made there was a general feeling
that the politicians of both parties
who had other schemS would be COM
PEELED to yield to it, if Dewey sane
toned it's use. Whether this feeling
still continues is a very interesting
problem.
The point to be decided is as to
whether at this late day there is sul1i-
cient power among the people to over
come the purposes of the politicians.
AS we have remarked above it is a
mighty interesting issue. Boston

Republican Inconsistencies

Publicly the Republicans pre-.
tend, of course, that their MAORI
tiles in Maine and Vermont are
entirely satisfactory, but they put
very different face upon the re-
turns when discussing them among
themselves Every man who has
been through even the kindergar-
ten of politics knows that if the
same percentage of Republican
loss shown in Maine and Vermont
as shown throughout the United
States in November that it will
mean the election OF Bryan and
Stevenson by a larger majority
in the electoral college than Nc
Klnley and Hobart received four
years ago. 1t isn't pete nded
over-coDtidence that exists among
the Republican leaders now, but
genuine alarm. They realize that
the trend of public sentiment is
against Imperialism, and that if
they cannot stop it McKinly and
McKinleyism are doomed to a
crushing defeat. -Vicksburg Dis

charge made against him was OF
the most revolving character, but
with that effeminate timidity,
which ever char acterized the &C

practically forced him to seek to
wipe out the strain of Dinkln's

An Opportunity for Young Men.
The Tupelo journal remarks:
The field of opportunity most in
viting to the wideawake young
man of Mississippi today lies In
the textile industries. These
opportu mites are Just building
and the young men who first per-
pare themselves will be the ones
to pick the richest plums from
among them, The State is destin-
ed to rank among the first cotton
manufacturing in the very near
future. Her citizens are awaken
ing to their opportunities and will
make the best of them. Factor
les will be organized in all the
localities where capital and enter
prise meet. Intelligent'and skilled
labor will be required to operate
them. The State has provided the
means of securing to her young
men knowledge of textile indus
try and it behooves the rising
generation to take immediate adj
vantage of it. Every encourage
ment should be offered the boys to
prepare themselves for these new
places, thew are lucrative and hon
'rable. Every gradu ate OF this
branch of knowledge will be of
more value to his State than most
my other if his knowledge is put
nto practical use. Under his in
luence new enterprises will spring

The Textile School.

One of the most salutary provi-
sions of the last legislature was that
which will give the state textile
school. Over the state cotton mills
are springing up though Grenada
Is not on the list and for these
skilled operatives must be had.
These we have not among our own
people, and they must be imported
from the cotton manufacturing
districts. This textile chools. soon
to be located and built in Mis-
sissippl will educate our young
men and instruct them in the WAYS
OF weaving and spininc. 1t opens
up a new avenue for the ENERGY
and talent for our young mahood.
and this is just what we had long
needed. There are preachers
enough to save our souls ten times
over, there are lawyers enough to
keep us in Il perpetual state of
prosecution, there are doctors too
many, and the mercantile and
places for them to exercise their
skill is the open seam to better
and more prosperous era. The last
Mississippi legislature is entitled
to generous praise for this one act
even if it were condemned for
every other.-Irenada Sentinel.
