The Cuban Postal Frauds.

The bright spot in the Cuban postal
frauds, if there can be said to be one, is
the fact that the post-office department at
Washington is doing everything possible
to ferret the frauds to the bottom and pun
ish their perpetrators. Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, who was
promptly despatched to Cuba to take these
affairs in charge, was given instructions to
cooperate in every way possible with Gen.
Leonard Wood, the military governor, in
the work of investigating the frauds and
bringing the guilty men to punishment.
F. W. Nicely of Muncie, Ind, formerly
chief financial agent of the Havana post
office, and the chief beneficiary of the
frauds, is now in Ludlow street Jail, New
York, under $4,000 bail, pending the de-
termination of questions of law as to
whether he shall be extradited to Cuba or
punished in this country.

Facts which Are Not Disputed.

II is fact to be noted that in the dis
cussion of the congressional candidacy of
the several aspirsnts in this district no at
tempt has been made to dlscredit the su-
perior ability, the wide public acquaintance,
and the personal fitness of Col Kittredge
Haskins for this office. The most Jealous
partisans of the other candidates take care
to preface their arguments with the frank
admission that Col. Haskins wears a hat of
congressional size. Not only is it true that
he is by nature intellectually fit to repre-
sent his district in Congress, but this nat
ural endowment has been supplemented
and developed by lifelong interest in and
study of all current public affairs. Matters
of government, of political history and po-
litical management have been from boy
hood as meat and drink to him, and by
this means, coupled with his practice at
the bar, he came, perhaps by no conscious
effort, to have rare equipment for the
public discussion of these questions. This
equipment, through the lifetime of gen
Grafton, has always been at public com
mand, and has been freely given in answer
to the call of every cause that commanded
his sympathy. Few men in the state have
addressed so many public gatherings as
Col. Haskins, and none has spoken with
greater acceptance or more convincing
force. Always a man who likes to touch
elbows with other men, his practice in the
courts and his service in the legislature
have given him wide acquaintance in
the state, and this acquaintance has in
many cases ripened into warm personal
friendship, so that he has following of
workers and wel-wishers such as few men
can command This is an element of
positive strength which his opponents can
not rival and which they may not safely
ignore.
He is at the zenith of his strength, men
tai and physical, and his election to Con
gress would bring to him no duties or re-
sponsiblities for which the interests and
activities of lifetime have not fitted him.
The questions which would then command
his attention would be those which have
been his constant study as the days and
years have developed them, and he would
bring to their consideration ripe training
and a mature and well-balanced judgment
One may grant all that is claimed for Col.
Haskins's contestants in this canvass, and
the fact remains that the argument of sup
erior ability, lifelong experience, wide ac-
quaintance, and native fitness is on his
side. To make assurance doubly sure an
active canvass in behalf of Col. Haskins is
being made in all parts of the district, and
the reports which come in are as favorable
as could be wished.

eral public feeling when his name is under
discussion.

Ever since the death of Senator Morrill,
it has been our belief, privately entertain
ed, that, were the people of the state to ex-
press their own free choice in the matter,
they would name ex-Gov. William p. Dill
ingham as Senator Morrilrs, successor.
This impression has been steadily con-
firmed, and it has grown strongly during
the past winter. We believe this TO be un-
questlonably true of the public sentiment
in Windham county. Whether Mr.. Dill
ingham can prove himself of full senate
rial size and fit for the succession remains
to be seen. But in his personal character
istics and accomplishments, in his record
in his profession and in public and private
life, he seems to be easily the most promis-
ing man in sight.
We make this declaration at this time
because, whether we will or not, the sena-
torial canvass is upon MS, and the merits
and claims of the several candidates have
been forced into discussion. Further than
this, the Republican convention in Gen.
CIRCUITS own county of Caledonia has been
called for June 2, a month in advance of
the usual time, with the purpose, express
ed or implied, to have the convention lead
off with an endorsement of Gen. Grout's
candidacy. Conventions in other counties
will also be expected to make declarations
on this question The Windham county
convention will be no exception, and it
is time that our people had the matter nm
der careful consideration.

The Montana MuddIe.

Mention was made last week of the
coup of the dscredited Senator Clark of
Montana of resigning his senatorship and
then having himself Immediately appoint
ed by Lieut.. Gov. Spriggs to fill the va
cancy. This appointment was made dur
ing the absence from home of Gov. Smith.
Immediately on his return TO Montana
Gov. Smith issued statement denouncing
the action of Spriggs, Withdrawing Clark's
nomination and naming Martin Maginnis
in his place. Maginnis is one of the best
known men in the West, is prominent in
business and politics, was II years dele
gate to Congress when Montana was ter
ritory, and was elected senator after the
territory came to statehood, though he
lost the place by means of contest. The
action of Gov. Smith was welcomed by
Clark's opponents in Washington, who
expect the result to be reference of the
whole matter to the committee on privi-
leges and elections and thus keeping Clark
out of his seat during this session at least.

Contest In the AIdrIoh Es,ate.

A probate case of unusual interest came
up for hearing in Greenfield Friday, being
ing based on the final account of Rev. DIR.
Levi H. Cobb of New York as executor of
the will of Sarah Aldrich, who died at
East Mortified March -, 1892 Rev.
Jas. A. O'Connor of New York was made
the residuary legatee. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Cobb, who was officially connected
with one or more societies to which Mrs.
Aldrich gave money in 1893, came to
Mortified that year and took back with
him to New York, after very brief stay,
practically all the property that Mrs. Aid
rich had except house, which she gave
to the Northfeld seminary. Mr.. O'Con-
nor will claim that all of the securities
which were turned over to Mr.. Cobb as a
gift to the societies were part of her es-
tate and should be accounted for by him
as executor. The hearing was continued
to June u.

In the Senate on Tuesday Mr.. Spooner
of Wisconsin spoke on his bill providing
that upon the suppression of the insurrec-
tion in the Philippines the government of
the islands shall devolve upon the Pres-
dent until such time as Congress may di-
rect otherwise. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was almost too i'll TO stand, Mr..
Spooner's effort was one of the notable
speeches of the present session He de-
Tended with characteristic vigor and elo-
quence the policy of the administration in
the Philippines, maintaining that no other
policy in the circumstances was possible
and none other could have been adopted
without dishonor to the country.

The End of the Methodist Itinersnt
AYatem.

The Methodist general conference at Chi
cago on Wednesday, by vote of 433 to
23S, abolished the time limit of pastorates,
thus doing away with the fundamental
feature of the itinerant system of the de-
nomination. Hereafter, according to the
amendment to the discipline thus adopted,
Methodist preachers will be appointed an
nually by the bishops, with no limit on the
number of years pastor may serve one
congregation, except the limit imposed by
his own ability and popularity with his
congregation. 1t was lay delegate who
did the deed at the critical moment, very
much as c. F. Thompson of Brattleboro
preached the wall in the long-standing
American Board controversy in the Wor-
cester meeting in 1892. In the midst of
the discussion on Wednesday as to whether
the time limit should be five years or
three, DR.. r. S. Copeland, a lay delegate of
Ann Arbor, aroused a storm of applause
by advocating an 'unmod6ed, unrestrct-
ed, unqualified abolition of the time limit, "
and when he concluded cries of "VOte
vote" came from all over the hall, with
the result already stated.

OF far greater effect in Gen. CIRCUITS be-
half is Mr.. Coolidge's second letter on his
House record as a member in charge of
important measures of legislation, though
this does no more than confirm the acknowl-
edgment, already made, that Gen. Grout has
been a competent and active member of the
House up to the full measure of his capac-
ity. 1t is not the number of bills men,
Der of Congress introduces or the number
of speeches which he makes, it is the indie
Enable public sense of the character and
calibre and interior quality of the man
which makes up his real record. What
the people care about is whether he has
shown himself to possess this inward quail
ity of command and leadership; whether he
has proved himself a man of strength and
standing among his fellows; whether his
counsel is sought when matters of grave
import are up; whether his is recognized
as a controlling hand when these matters
are in course of legislation.
We conceive the real objection to Gen.
Grout to be that, viewed by this test, he is
not in the line of senatorial succession in
Vermont. Admit everything that is claim
ed for his record in the House, and the
fact remains that the general impression of
the man is not of one TO make good the
place of Morrill, or of Edmunds in the
United States Senate, or to keep good our
proud tradtions-in short that he has not
proved himself to be built of senatorial
timber. And this we believe to be the gem

Gov. Leslie NJ. Shaw Of Iowa has been
brought forward the past week as an
available candidate for the vice pres
idency in case the Republican leaders
decide to have Western man nominated
for that Office. Gov. Shaw is Vermont
man with strong individuality and is very
popular in his state. His name has been
brought out under the influence of Sem
ator Allison of Iowa., and it is believed
that his candidacy would be well received
throughout the West.

c. F. Ranney contributes to the New
port Express and Standard this week
second article on Hon. c. A. Prouty's can
didacy for the Senate in which he refutes
in dignified and positive way the idea
that Mr Prouty's entry into the field was
"only spasmodic movement for a little
notoriety." To those Orleans county peo-
pie who would gladly support Mr.. Prouty
il they thought there was any chance of
his election Mr.. Ranney gives the assur-
ance that "Mr. Prouty's chances are grow
ing better every day, that some of the
strongest men in the state are enlisted in
his behalf, and that he is in the race to
stay" The Express and Standard from
its standpoint of thick-and-thin Grout
support, finds it difficult to answer salts
factorily the facts and arguments thus set
forth by Mr.. Ranney.

The United States supreme court rem
dered its decision in the Kentucky gov
ernorship case Monday, affirming the de-
cision of the Kentucky court of appeals
The decision is in the interest of Beckham,
the Democratic claimant, but it was not
unanimous, Justices Brewer, Hart, Brown
and McKenna dissenting. Chief Justice
Fuller, who handed down the opinion, said
that the determination of cases of this
character, contests for state Office, must
necessarily be settled by the political branch
of the government. That branch had act
ed in the Kentucky case when the general
assembly took jurisdiction. There was
no appeal from the assembly's decision,
which was favorable to Goebel and Beck
ham, except to the tribunal of the people,
which tribunal was always in session. The
case was therefore dismissed for want OF
jurisdiction, leaving the Kentucky courts
decision in favor of Beckham to stand.

vides how the product shall be put up and
that it shall be plainly stamped and the
packages marked as "Oleomargarine."

1t is very natural that old soldiers
throughout the district are especially anx-
ious that Col. Haskins be sent to Washing
ton as representative. With Gen. Grout
passing up to the higher branch they feel
that they would like someone in the House
who would have their interests especially
at heart. Col. Haskins is all right with
the soldiers, and with great many others.
- Hardwick Gazette.
This feeling will prove strong element
in behalf of Col. Haskins's candidacy.
Not only is he the only veteran of the
War for the Union now in the canvass,
but he is undoubtedly the last one to
whom the people will have a chance to
give their votes for the congressional
Office. By the time the representative
who is elected this fall gives place to an
other every old soldier who could enter the
lists will have become too old to be
thought of for preferment in such an office.

According 10 the Caledmian of this
week the question Of Ross or Grout for the
United States senatorship is 10 be brought
to test in the st. Johnsbury caucus to
elect delegates to The Republican county
convention. From the tone of the Gale
donian, which supports Gen. Grout, it APP
kindly because the friends OF Senator Ross
are disposed to make a contest for a dele
cation from his own town. On general
principles We should say that it is curious
state of affairs when a man like Judge
Ross is not allowed, in case like this, to
have his home delegation without a con-
test. But that is L OF the Grout way this
year, evidently.
