ARTHUR ROPES. General Editor
The Vermont Election.

In its relation to the cause of nation
al republicanism the result OF TUESDAYS
election is highly satisfactory. Had
Mr.. Stickney's majority been but 25,-
600, the normal Republican, majority
in the year of national election when
the tide Of popular approval is setting
with the party, that would have car
ried with it all the prestige of victory.
Every added thousand indicates in
creased fervor of devotion and adhe-
renee to Republican policies and prin-
ciples, and the probable addition of
5000 leaves nothing whatever to be
desired in the way of reasonable and
conclusive evidence that republicanism
is still high in the ascendant, and will
again triumph gloriously in the nation
at large in November.
AS had been apprehended, the re-
turns of Representatives elected show
that an extraordinarily large number of
Democrats has been sent to the House.
In off years the Democrats have gener-
ally increased their membership; it is
quite unusual to find more than q bak-
er's dozen on the roll in the year of
national election. Party lines have
been rigidly maintained on the general
issues of republicansm; on the minor,
local issues there has been an unprece-
dented breaking of the party alignment.
This, as is well understood, is due pri-
marily and chiefly to the dominance
this year of questions relating to the
regulation of the liquor traffic. The
Democrats have sent some of their best
men to the Legislature. In Montpelier
the contest for Representative was en-
tirely without bitterness. Mr.. Kemp,
the Republican candidate, and Mr.. Sib-
ley, the Democratic member elect, are
strong personal friends and partners in
business. The JOURNAL regrets ex-
ceedingly the defeat of Mr.. Kemp by
Republican votes, for which, in its
view of the matter, the candidates abil-
tiles, experience and position on the
liquor question could afford no iustif-
cation. But Mr.. Sibley is also a man
of good and tried business ability, and
of excellent standing in the commun-
ity. He will unquestionably well rep
resent Montpelier, with fidelity to her
interests, and will be true to his con-
stituents as body.
The result of the elections to the
House cannot be regarded otherwise
than as highly favorable to Mr.. Dilling-
hams candidacy for the senatorship.
Even the incomplete returns make
this quite clear, and it will be clearer
when the smoke OF battle lifts from all
the field.

BARRE'S PREDICAMENT.

In a certain sense Barre is wiped off the
map today so far as election purposes go.
IL appears that Its election today is tech
nically illegal as Mayor Jersey and his
councilmen forgot to issue and post the
warnings for this election as prescribed by
law. There was considerable excitement
over the matter in Barre today but the vot.
ing was carried ON az though everything
had been regulated after the usual form.
rassment more serious than the technical.
ity OF neglecting to post the warnings arises
from this election 1t will be legalized by the
legislature this fall and Barre will be rep
resented therein.
The town OF Barre also neglected to pro-
vide and post check list, and SO, for the
present, the whole OF Barre Is in the soup

President Mckinley has directed the
acting secretary of state, Mr.. Adee, not
to make public any communication
from any of the powers relating to the
withdrawal of troops from Pekin until
the matter is definitely settled. One
reason for this is the misconstruction
of the communications exchanged by
Russia and this government, and pub
lished several days ago. Much of this
misconstruction was wilfully made for
partisan purposes by those who knew
better. This government did not en-
dorse Russia's proposition for the
withdrawal of troops from Pekin at this
time. On the contrary, it distinctly
stated its belief that 1t would be best to
keep the troops in Pekin until the al
lied governments were satisfied of the

three or four declared adherents, scarce

Senator Stewart thus pushes his
charge of treason against Mr.. Bryan:
Treason is defined in the Constitution
as levying war against the United
States or adhering to their enemies and
giving them aid and comfort. Does
any one doubt that the arguments of
Mr.. Bryan and his so-called anti-im-
perial league in favor of Aguinaldo and
his followers encourage the rebels to
continue the war? For what purpose is
literature from the United States, ad-
vocating the independence of the reb-
els circulated throughout the island, if
it is not to brace up the tagging energy
of the guerillas and induce them to
continue their bloody work until Bryan
can give them independence? Why
does not Mr.. Bryan, or some of his
friends, attempt to disprove the charge
of General Lawton that it is the So
called anti-imperial league in America
which keeps up the war? Is not this
treason? Has not this advocacy of the
independence of the Tagals aided and
encouraged them to continue the strug-
glep If so, why is that not treason?"

The DAILY JOURNAL commends
Mrs. Watson's article on the regulation
of the liquor traffic to the sober consid-
GRAFTON of every voter. The argument
against license is unsnswerabe. The
assumption that the commands and
limitations of license law will be faith
fully observed, or will be more faith
fully observed than the mandates of the
prohibitory code, has nothing to sus-
tain it as a theory, and is not borne out,
in practice. No rational parent having
son, certainly no mother having
son, cares to have licensed temptation
placed in the way of that child. In his
serious moments, when he is thinking
calmly and speaking with deliberatlon,
this parent would say he would have
the traffic prohibited utterly and have
the brand of outlawry placed upon it.
That would be his sober judgment, feel
ing parents responsibility for his
sons welfare, and that is the spirit in
which he should approach and vote up
on the question that has been referred
to the judgment of the voters of Mont
pelier on Saturday. 1t is broad ques-
ton, and this is only one phase of it,
but it is very important aspect and
the one which, with very large num-
Der of voters, will or ought to be the
decisive one. The subject is many
sided, and each ought to be turned up
to the public view.

Mr.. Bryan's trip east is regarded as
scoop" on the managers of the
Democratic campaign, and is another
proof that Mr.. Bryan comes nearer to
being car in politics than any other
candidate for President ever did. In
fact, 1t is admitted privately by men,
bers of the Democratic committee that
Mr.. Bryan does just as he pleases, re-
CARELESS of the plans of the committee
which is supposed to be managing his
campaign, and that it is impossible to
control him. There is strong argu-
ment against Mr.. Bryan's election in
this uncomfortable trait in his make
up. A President who cannot be con-
trolled is not only troublesome, but
dangerous. Andy johnson was that
sort of President. So was Grover
Cleveland, and it doesn't require a
strong memory to recall the trouble
each made, both for his party and for
the country by insisting upon having
his own way. If there is any imper-
ialism in this campaign, it is Mr.. Bryan
and not President Mckinley who
stands for it.
