Only Two.-A gentleman who is sup
posed to enjoy Mark Hanna's confidence is
authority for the statement that that
mighty person says only two names are be-
ing seriously Considered for the Republican
Vice Presidential nomination. and that
these names are Stephen b. Elkins and
Cornelius y. Bliss. 1t is further stated by
the same authority that the Administration
virtually has lest hope of quieting the fac
tional rumpus in New York, and that
therefore. Mr. Bliss will have 10 be strick-
en- from the list of eligbles This ought to
be very welcome news to Senator Elkins,
as by the process OF exclusion his is the
only name left on Hanna's slate. But as
Miss Birdie Allendale would say. notwith-
standing and nevertheless, the Hon Timo-
thy l.. Woodruff is making speeches and
was hailed at the Ohio Society's dinner in
New York the other night as Good Boy"
and Our Next Vice President" Mr. Han
ma, il is said. continues 10 scoff at the pre-
tensions OF Timothy l.. as if he is still of
opinion that he is too young Governor
Roosevelt. however, is on record as favor
ing the nomination of Woodruff. and the
Florida delegation to the Philadelphia con-
vention is said to be committed to him
Wherefore it seems that Senator Elkins
must not put too much trust in the over
mastering power OF Hanna but ought to
begin humping himself in lively fashion.

Indiana Congressmen.-The Republi-
cans of the Indiana House delegation ap-
pear to have laid violent hands upon the
forelock of time several weeks ago. when
it became evident that trouble was brew
ing for the Administration, and to have
fixed the game to suit themselves. With
probably one exception-Mr. Faris, of the
Terre Haute district-sll of the Hoosier
Republican Congressman will have Sc
cured denominations before the week is
out. Messrs. Brick and Steele-very ap-
propriate Republican names, it is sug
and two or three district conventions are
scheduled for today and tomorrow. The
congressman, of course, have taken snap
judgment in each case on the opposition
within the party, and it is submitted that
a Republican House statesman who would
not do that in these troublous times
would show his unfitness TO cope with
affairs at Washington. Snap conventions.
however. usually are disastrous to those
in whose benefit they are held, and it re-
mains to be seen If this rule holds good
among the Hoosiers. The Democrats are
very confident of securing the majority of
the next delegation from Indiana on the
parties, to say nothing of the storm of in
dignation created by the Porto Rican
Tariff bill.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
After Harmer,. shoe..-wben

After Harmer's Shoes.-When n
comes to raising convention guarantee
funds Philadelphians may be slow. but
when it comes to getting lively hustle for
dead mans shoes it appears that they are
not TO be sneezed at. The Hon Alfred C.
Harmer has been dead and gone only these
two days, but already there are about
dozen active candidates for the vacancy in
Congress caused by his death. 1t seems
that the mighty Dave Martin is running
away from the nomination which the
Quay people are trying to force upon him
in order to remove him from the State
Senate at Harrisburg. For a like cause
the Quayites. il is said view the Hon. J.
Bayard Henry, one of the most bothersome
insurgents at Harrisburg, as a very proper
person to succeed the Father of the
House" But it seems that the Martin
push" have selected one James M. Hus-
ton as their candidate and are actively
moving things in his direction. The Hon.
William Potter, former Minister to Italy,
would like to come to Congress if il please
the bosses to consider him fit for the place.
So would Col. Edward Morrell Select
Councilmen Hezel and John Bramley. 1t
is thought probable that Governor Stone
will not call special election to fill the
vacancy. as the general election is so near
at hand.

Eight thousand manuscripts were
received by The Ladies Home Jour
nal during the year just closed. Each
was given a careful reading, but out
of the entire number only eighty
were found worthy of publication.
The Manuscript Bureau of The La
dies Home Journal is operated at a
large expense, but the hope of dis
covering new writers or some aspir-
ants with undcvloped talent warrants
the outlay. 1t can be seen that the
articles secured by such careful
winnowing process brings the cost
of each up to and above the remun-
Grafton paid our best writers.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1900-02-17

The closing of city liquor agen.
cies has stopped at St. Adams, at
least the movement seems to have
been checked for brief period.
st. Adams docscn't like the plan, if
newspaper statements, explanations
and complaints are to be taken
seriously. The shutting up of an
agency leaves not place where a
drop of liquor can legally be sold
and it is one contention of those OPP
posed to closing that it merely
throws 4 little more business into
the hands of pocket-pcddlers and
other illegal agencies for the distr-
button of Intoxicating beverages.
But the movement is young yet and
it is hardly time to pronounce judg-
ment till the thing has been given a
thorough trial. 1t is queer thing,
too, as the Ludlow Tribune says,
about the Vermont law-'that the
citizens of town can vote to close
or not to close the town agency and
cannot with regard to any other
place OF liquor selling"

tinucs to furnish interesting figures
indicating its substantial standing.
And by the way, we hear nothing Of
any movement toward closing it up.
The New England Homestead OF
Springfield. Mass, is telling Yer
montcrs that they ought to send
Charles A. Prouty to the United
States senate. The Homestead
says:
"Thc only candidate thus tar sug-
gested who is of national stature is
Charles A. Prouty. This mans
work as a member of the interstate
commission since 1896 demonstrates
his large ability, great energy. in
corruptiblc integrity and carnestness
OF purpose for the public welfare. "
American agriculture needs a
man IN the Senate who will fight tor
its interests and the welfare of the
whole people. And it is gratifying
to know that the farmers OF Yer
mont are disposed to do all they can
to send Mr.. Prouty to the Senate. y
John Morley stands by the British
government in its present crisis, but
in a recent speech he said:
admit that the government were
misinformed. want to show how
the government and we have been
dupcd. Mr.. Rhodes made speech
on August II. He said: There
is not the slightest chance of war;
Kruger must give way as he did on
the last OCCASION" Upon another
occasion MIR. Rhodes said: "The
armed strength of the Beers is the
greatest unpricked bubble in the
world. Kruger will buster and
bluff and bully, but it will take a
great deal to make him fight. :"
That was the man whom the gov
eminent chose rs the most insti ucted
voice in South Africa. There were
other voices. There was the voice
of her majcsty's ministers in the
Cape Colony, who said the exact
opposite, who warned the govern
ment that they We're on dangerous
track. Government and the high
commissioner turned the deaf ear of
a hcadstrong presumptuous incredu-
lily. (Cheers.)
