that even the colored contingent and

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR..
CLAPP.

He Takes Personally Conducted

err Peck's Private DInners-Visit TO
the American Corn Kitchen.
Dear CALIFORNIAN:
All things must come to an end,
and as no one can endure perpetual
exposition diet, however strong the
intellectual digestion, it is we'll that
there is zone limitation to such a
feast. The heat began to increase,
the Grand Prix" had added greatly
to the crowds in the city, the prices
of everything rose daily, asparagus
from three francs a portion to five
francs, a single horse and victoria to
the Grand Prix" eighty francs, a
landau with two horses $50 francs,
our rooms at the hotel in ordinary
times twelve francs each, had ad.
vanced to twenty.four francs and as
soon as we left, there was to be an
other tariff FIVE francs higher, and
there were twenty applications on
file for our apartments.
Of course the hotel manager was
cheerful when we gave notice Of our
early departure, for the loss of our
company meant an increase in his
revenues, and for him BLESSINGS
would brighten" when we took oul
flight" Of his benediction we were
sure, and the more OF it the sooner
we left. The day was fixed for oul
departure and the route to the Pvren
ees and the train we were to take
decided upon, but owing to the "em
barrassment of riches" in shape Of
friends one day of grace was willing
ly voted. 1t happened thus: There
suddenly turned up party of friend;

Current Press Comment.

The matter of submitting the pro-
hibitory law to a popular vote
should be persistently pushed to the
front and kept there. Every year
the demand for the submission OF
this vital question to public opinion
grows stronger and stronger. 1t is
right and natural that it should, and
if at present it is obstinately ignored
by men who talk one way at home
and vote another way at Montpelier
the time is coming when the COM
mon sense Of the whole people will
exert pressure that will be felt and
needed. Give the people a chance to
vote on the question-there is no
fairness, honesty or decency in deny
ing them this privilege. If the senti-
ment of the state is in favor, over
whelmingly or otherwise, of keeping
the prohibitory law on the statute
books, or of adding to its terror,
well and good. Now there is some
doubt as to the existence of such a
sentiment, and popular vote, with
out offecting the law a particle,
would decide interesting question.
i Woodstock Spirit of the Age.
At the annual meeting of the State
Bar association, Hon. Wendell P.
Stafford, the retiring president, made
a stirring speech in which he advo-
Gated the adjustment of capital
punishment and the stopping of
communication Of sentences by the
legislature. He is right. Simply be-
cause man commits a murder, it
does not make it right for the State
to commit another as punishment.
A life sentence at hard labor is more
feared by criminal than death it.
self. Only recently a prisoner in a
western penitentiary requested that
his sentence of imprisonment for life
might be changed to a death sen.
tence. The Communication of sem
fences by the legislature is both
unnecessary and foolish. The govern
or has full power of granting pardon
to criminals and there is no necessity
for interference by the legislature.
1t is to be supposed that the people
confined in the State prison are
guilty and fully deserve the senten-
ces given them. If it appears that
the prisoner deserves leniency for
good reasons, let them be brought

Senatorial Comment.

A pamphlet has been mailed broad
cast through the state, giving the re-
cord of Gen. Grout in Congress dur
ing the past II years, including ex-
tracts from his speeches. The pamph-
let bears the imprint of The Caledon-
ian company at St. Johnsbury, and
there can be no doubt that it was
edited and approved by Gen. Grout
himself. This is an entirely leeiti-
mate thing for Gen. Grout and his
supporters to do [Brattleboro
Phoenix.
There is a growing impression,
based upon a conviction of right and
justice, that Senator Ross should
succeed himself to serve out Senator
Morrill's term, and this is quite
likely to be the logical outcome of
the senatorial campaign. Should
the Legislature find it difficult to
decide as between Ger. Grout and
ex Gov. Dillingham;, and it looks like
a close shave as between the two
candidates, then there would be no
doubt as to Senator Ross's re-elec-
ton. Even the senatorial candidates
already pledged to vote for either
Grout or Dillingham; are expressing
kindly interest in Judge Ross
quiet candidacy for reelection, and
several have openly declared their
intention of voting for him should
the opportunity offer. The sugges
tion that there are surprises in store
for the politicians in next months
election may arise from the suspicion
that the farmers are preparing tc
take hand in the choice of represen
tatives who shall pay some heed tC
their interests in the Legislature
Whether the suspicion be we'll found

After all that has been written ant

Cullom, of Illinois; Bate, of Tennes-

Coils P. Huntington, president of
the Southern Pacific railroad, died
suddenly at midnight Aug. 13, in his
camp "Pine Knot" at Raquette

where he died in a few minutes before
anything could be done. His daugh-
ter, Princess Hatzfeldt, sailed from
Liverpool to New York Wednesday.
Mr.. Huntington went to the noun

erected at Richmond, Va, to Jefer-

The monument will probably be in
the form of an arch. At the reunion
at Memphis the veterans will ap.

influences out of the canvass Gen. Grout
would not be even a factor in this con
test. The west side of the state is evil
dence in support of this proposition
Grout has no postmasters there, and
consequently no one to keep his canvass
alive.
If this means anything it means
just what it says, that General
Grout claimed "active support from
a pensioner because he had been in
strumental in getting his pension"
We are also authorized to declare
this absolutely false, and to call for
the name Of a single soldier who will
sustain the charge. These state
ments show the methods of the Dill

too.

We find the following in last weeks
Bradford Opinionr"
A prominent Republican has been
heard to say that he would not support
Grout if he had not promised to do so
in return for help in securing the post
office for friend. Grout has never, to
our knowledge, been known to help any
one without first securing a pledge for
his own support. What disinterested
patriotism.
When Republican office holders engage
Democrats to work for their interests
and thus thwart the will of the people
it is time that such men be punished with
signal defeat.

And Republican always since so.
We are authorized by General
Grout to brand as absolutely false
this statement and call for the name
of the man who says he promised tc
support him in return for the ap
pointment of a friend as postmaster
We also demand the name of single
person who will say that he ever re
ceived a pledge for his own supper
before assisting any one in any way
whatever. This is a malicious false
hood out of whole cloth. Give th'
names.
In another place in the same issu'
is found the following language
