The Grout newspapers are yelling with
all the power of their lungs that the farm
ers OF Vermont want Gen. w. w. Grout
to succeed Morrill, in the senate. The fol-
lowing is specimen of these u.terances:
Nine-tenths of the population of Yer
mont are farmers. No representative ever
did more for the farmers and dairymen of
America than Gen. Grout. He is tried
and true and the farmers will be slow to
turn down man of his ability for an I'M
known quantity Deertield Valley Times
Now we have no wish TO in any way de-
tract from the honorable record of Gen
Grout. We believe he has done his best
and no man can do more, but, as a matter
of actual information to take the place of
bald assertion we request some of those
newspapers which are devoting their
efforts to lifting Gen. Grout into the SEN
ate to tell us and the rest Of the state what
Gen Grout has done for the farmers of
Vermont during the 1G years he was in
Congress preceding the first day of Deem
Der last.
His record of the past eight months has
been much talked about. He introduced
his oleo bill last December and its success
and non-success have been persistently
before the public ever since but it
is absolutely impossible for the oleo
bill to become law before the sem
atorial election in October, and surely
one, merely proposed, measure is very
paltry record for II years in Congress on
which to claim the support of the farmers
of Vermont. OF course there must be
other measures for the benefit of the farm
ers, which have become laws through the
efforts of Gen. Grout and which have
been overlooked in the discussion. Let us
hear what they are Barre Times.

WIN the Ninth in China.

The only New England newspaper that
has a special correspondent with the Amer
lean troops in China'-that is the inter-
esting announcement which the Boston
Journal is making. Its representative,
who has been with the Ninth regiment
since the departure from the Philippines,
through the landing on Chinese soil and
through the battle of Tien-Tsn, in which
the regiment lost so heavily, is A. G.
Eames. He is a New England man with
years of experience in practical newspaper
work in the cities of Chicago, New York
and Boston. He went with the 46th regi-
ment to the Philippines as the correspon-
dent of the Boston Journal, and his letters
in the Journal descriptive of the campaign
ing in the islands prove him an acute OBJ
server as well as a most entertaining writer.

The new electric railway between Gard

the road is completed from Templeton to

way from Orange TO Boston 1t is thought
the Athol road will be completed by Thanks

vent trolley ride from Greenfield to Bos-

an electric line within two or three years.
By that time Northampton and Springfield
will be connected with Boston by way of
Palmer, Worcester and South birmingham,
and if the project of extending the Hat

from Greenfield TO South Deerfield is car
ried OFT Northampton will be on the west

Manager Amidon's team lost to Keene
at Keene FRIDAY in a closely contested
game. Each side made a triple play, Hins-
dale in the NTH and Keene in the sixth in
ming. Hinsdale made a desperate attempt
to tie the score in the last inning, when
Shea hit for two bases and Kenney follow
ed with drive which looked good for a
home run, but Lsahy pulled it down close
to the left field fence. The timely hitting
of Richardson and Laahy had much to do
