The Barre Telegram attempts to make
capital against Col. Haskins's candidacy
for Congress by saying the election Of
Judge L. NJ. Read as a delegate at large to
the Republican national convention was a
scheme Matched in Brattleboro to placate
Reads friends, and make the county solid
for Haskins. This statement is contrary
to fact, and no doubt the Telegram will be
willing to make amends honorable on be-
ing told that no one in Brattleboro knew
that Judge Read was candidate until
Monday, two days before the state con-
vention, when news to that effect was
brought here by a prominent citizen Of
Bellows Falls. Brattleboro delegates nat
urally responded heartily to a request to
support Judge Read, and torked to secure
his election.

The Modern Drama.
From the BOSTON Record. ]

The newest Melo.drama in New York,
called woman and Wine" is the same
old dramatzation of at least five of the
Seven Deadly Sins, worked by our old
friends, the adventures, the wayward son,
the money lender, ct ell, followed by the
triumph of the Eight Beatitudes, in the
person of the blind old father, the self-sac-
rifcing, loving daughter, and the rest of
the goodly company, who win in the long
run. Alan Dale calls it "a corrugation of
agony, crime, free love and expensive love,
hate, revenge, melancholy, madness, fisti-
cuffs, duels, ribaldry, Elta Proctor Otis,
and yells," but even that does not varnish
the old thing into freshness.

Hanna's vote against seating Quay was
a surprise, and is taken by some politi-
clans as meaning that the President was
not averse to having Quay defeated. Yer

Hawley and Plat of Connecticut we're al

The Cuban Population.

Cuba contains 1,572,7s9 inhabitants, ac-
cording to the census taken recently under
the direction of the United States war de-
partment. Ffty-eight per cent of the
total, or 9l0,29s, are white people of
Cuban birth, while the whites of all nativ-
tiles number 1,052,516. The negroes and
mixed breeds number 80 per cent, and in
no province do they outnumber the
whites.
Nearly nine tenths of the inhabitants
were born in Cuba. On the basis of cit
izenship 1926, ,367 are Cuban, 20,47S are
Spanish, 1896 are of other allegiance,
while 175, ,s11 are sin suspense" OF the
native male adult whites who can read
and write there are 70, 455, and of the
blacks there are 25,G92, or 1O5,147 who
can exercise the franchise. Add to these
the illiterate property owners and the il
literate soldiers of the Cuban army, who
must be conceded voting privileges, and at
least l40, 900 have been found entitled to
the franchise in a total population of some
100000. The figures show that the native
voters will largely preponderate in insular
affairs and that there is no danger of
Spanish domination through large party
of Spanish-born citizens. The first popular
elections in Cuba are now fixed for June
16, when municipal governments will be
chosen by the voters.

Those clergymen who are censurlng the
President because he does not abolish the
army canteen, which is an institution
authorized by law and by law only can be
done away with, either do not OF we fear
will not realize that it has promoted tenn
perance among our soldiers. The condi-
tion superseded by the canteen would be
brought back by its abolition. Soldiers
would drink more and waste more money
than they do now. They would consume
more and worse liquor. There is a strong
element of liquor dealers who are doing all
they can to abolish the canteen, and, uh-
consciously, many clergymen are affording
them support.-[Boston Transcript.

Whether Gov, Taylor of Kentucky has
been indicted as accessory to the murd-
er of Goebel or whether the Frankfort
grand jury refused to bring in a bill
against him is not made clear by des-
patches. The clerk of the court in reply
to a direct question answers that no
indictment of Gov. Taylor has been
placed on record in his office. This reply
may be but an evasion, for one despatch
says thatlan indictment was surreptitious-
ly handed to the Judge.

These are the positive, aggressive words

Republican party of Vermont is the party
that does things; it is the party of ideas
the party of convictions; the party of pro

In Favor OF Long for Vice President.
The name of Secretary of War Long for
vice presidential candidate was received
with great enthusiasm at the convention
of the Republicans of Massachusetts, at
Boston yesterday, and the resolutions
spoke of him as having the unanimous
support of the people of the state. The
resolutions reaffirmed the national plat
form of 1896, congratulated the country
upon the rejection of free silver coinage
and the Endorsement of the gold standard,
and declared that trusts should be sup
pressed when they become destructive of
the rights of citizens.

Two Injured by Premature Explosion.

While Arthur Atkins and Alvah Gabree
were drilling out an old blast in Water
bury yesterday their drill struck fire on
the rock and ignited the powder. An ex-
plosion followed, knocking both of the
men over. Gabree was using the sledge
and Atkins was holding the drill. When
Gabree picked himself up he saw Atkins
lying with the drill across his breast. At
kins's eyes were filled with powder, but his
eyesight will probably be saved. Atkins
was also badly burned about the hands and
wrists. Gabree escaped with slight bruises.

Powers. .Hs Pays the Fare"
Putney, VT, April %, 1900.

The time has passed for an exchange of
bouquets or of amenities between the two
Congressional candidates in the First dis
trict who live in "Spunky' Lamoille.
Last week the story went the rounds that
the delegates to the state and district con-
ventions were elected on the Page-Powers
issue, and that Judge Powers was over
whelmingly successful Pages friends
then charged that the conventions were
packed in Mr.. Powers's interest, but the
Judge sent denial of this statement to
the St. Albans Messenger. Now Pages
supporters come back with a declaration
that the Judges workers had written let
ters calling upon his friends to be at these
conventions in force, and one letter is pro-
duced in evidence. 1t was written by a
recognized Powers leader, today holding
office as postmaster, to a man who has
held high elective office in the state, and is
as follows:
IL have just received a letter from Con-
gresham Powers and he would like TO
have you have two or three delegates
elected, do not know how many you
are entitled to, to the convention to be
held in Rutland, April Il, favorable to
him. He wants his friends there in force.

McKinley's life has been one of devo-
ton to duty, to principle, and to the
service of the people. Seriousness and
earnestness nave marked his course
through trying times, and his public acts
stand out as milestones in American his
tory of the closing days of the century.
Until he was first nominated for the
presidency in 1898 his life had followed
the channels which have claimed other
American citizens. He had marched in
the n during the days of the SOS;
he had secured his education to a great
extent through his own efforts; he had
known the trials of a struggling country
lawyer. Then he had been elected to
public Office, sent to congress for seven
terms, and had served as governor of
Ohio. But his career had not been the
result of a skyrocket. 1t had been the
result of a life of conflict, of earnestness,
Of constant endeavor to aid the people
whom he served.
