Editor Of the Journdl;-I am in hearty ac-
cord with your recent editorial article, 1.-THE
Reason Why" relating to the coming Re-
publican State convention, to which Con-
gressmen Littlefield and Mccall had been
invited as star speakers. II the Republican
State committee constitute the Republican
party In Vermont what has become of the
independence and st rdy manhood OF YER
mont Republicans about which 80 much has
been said and written?
No one questions the right of individuals
to think AZ they please in reg ard to Porto
Rican affairs, or to believe the Constitution
of the United States applies with the same
force and in exactly the same manner to the
civilized and uncivilized peoples Of the
islands which the fortunes OF war have
brought under the stars and stripes, as to
the people of the several States and terrific
ries which now constitute this nation; but
these, or any other views which are hostile
to the sentiments OF great majority Of the
Republican party OF State and Nation,
should not be forced upon the convention
by outside influences.
The Republican party in Vermont has no
quarrel with the Administration, neither
does it seek any
REPUBLICAN.

One of the Old Guard OF Waterman
Subscribers.

A venerable lady, now beyond four score
years, living at Post Mills, writes the
WATcHMAN an interesting letter, describing,
among other things, how the mail was dis
tributed in early times, and showing how
the WATCHMAN has descended in the fam
lilies of Central Vermont, from parent to
child, for more than three generations. Our
correspondent writes: ~ have always had
the WATCHMAN. My father always took
the paper, and when married my husband,
DR., -, he was taking it and since his
death have taken it and paid the subscrip-
ton yearly in advance. L have kept file
of the papers. When l was small girl the

q acts
for
Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for 1t. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this Is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. HereXperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts

LOCOMOTIVE ON FIRE.

An alarm OF fire was rung in from box 10
at the corner of Main and State streets
about $3.50 o'clock Thursday evening The
cause of the alarm was the burning OF the
cab OF the freight engine used on the branch
line of the Central Vermont road which
stood on siding just below the station.
The iremen soon quelled the flames by
means of extinguishers but not until the
woodwork of the cab was destroyed. The
cause of the fire is unknown but is thought
to have been from oily waste being ignited.
An attempt was made to ring in an alarm
from box % at the corner Of State and Tay-
lor streets, but the door could not DO open
ed. The fire extinguisher, which the city
had purchased for and which was suppos-
cd to have been placed in the Central Yer
mont station could not be found. The fire
wsrdens are Investigating the cause Of It's
absence.

On STEAMER "MADIANA,"


Dear Mr.. Editor:-We are drawing near
the end Of our voyage. The increasing cool
ness reminds us that we are well on our
way north. LINEN clothing Is not now in
demand, and the suns rays at noon are not
now Stunned. Glad as we were to avoid
the rigors OF our March by trip to the
tro pics, we find ourselves now welcoming
the chill in the air that tells us we are APP
preaching home. II we do not bring with
us the warmth OF the Antilles, we do bring
some OF the sweetness Of the islands of the
south, in the t,oenty four hundred tons of
sugar composing the vessels cargo.
This our steamer has picked up at various
points; and her various stops for freight,
while they have prolonged our journey have
given us opportunities which We desired
for visiting goodly number OF the islands
OF the Caribbean group. We have gone
ashore at Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique,
Antigua, Nevis and st. Kits; and have
touched at Dominica and Santa Cruz; and
have seen Montserrat, Sabra and st.
Thomas at distance.
We spent several days in Barbados, and
more than week in Martinique, and these
visits, with our ten days in jamaica and
passing views Of San Salvador, Cuba, and
Hayti, have made us well content with the
measure OF our sightseeing. Most OF the
Caribbean Islands are OF volcanic origin,
and they are the more picturesque because
their mountains are steep and sharp as
well hb ulRu, anu tlNiuou ny many uccp
and wild gorges. Even now sulphurous
fumes aris9 from crevices in some of these
peaks. A few OF the easternmost islands,
however, are OF coral formation, and pre-
sent less attractive outline as viewed from
the sea- Their submits are not so high,
nor 30 abrupt; and their whole aspect Is
smoother and more tame.
To this class belong Barbados, Antigua
and Barbuda. Barbados has the most
dense populations and it Is said that the
pressure OF necessity has developed among
The negroes in that island an industry not
found elsewhere In the archipelago. Sugar
Is the staple production OF all OF these
islands, but the competition OF beet sugar,
subsidized by government, as 1t Is in Ger
many, has made serious inroads upon the
profits once made by planters in the trop-
les, and an atmosphere of depression and
encouragement seems TO prevail very
widely. We noticed it In Jamaica, and it
appeared to be very general In the smaller
islands. And where the havoc wrought by
hurricanes has been added TO the losses
resulting from adverse financial conditions,
the situation has become deplorabe. Less
| than year ago a wind storm devastated
| Montserrat and Nevis. We had an oppOr-
tunity OF seeing evidences OF its ravages on
/ Nevis. Going ashore there at Cbsrlestown.
| we found merely scattered remnants OF
what had been.
This town was once the Saratoga OF these
islands. In the old Flush times" wealthy
planters conferred here for the lavish expen-
| diture OF their easily won money In weeks
of gsiety at the elegant $500 900 hotel. Now
the place is complete wreck. On every
hand we saw foundations from which the
] buildings had been stripped. Trees were
