A NUMBER of prominent colored
citizens, with commendable genera
sity, have started a fund for the
benefit of the widow and children of
Jake Williams, deceased, whv died
suddenly several days ago, leaving a
wife and eight children. Jake was
an industrious man, peaceable,
quiet, good citizen, and those of his
color who are able to give should
help his destitute family.

Gov. STEPHENS of Missouri, has
issued proclamation, prohibiting
the Importation of cattle into that
State from Tennessee and number
of other States, where he says
tuberculosis exists. The question of
tuberculosis in cattle, and the danger
caused by using the products of
animals thus affected, is one that has
attracted much attention among
doctors and live stock men for some
time, and in several States much has
been done by official action toward
destroying all infected cattle and
stamping out the disease. In many
instances where Investigations have
been made, large proportions of herds
have been found infected with
tuberculosis, and the results have
been such as to cause alarm. We
are not prepared to discuss the mat
ter from scientific point OF view,
but there can be no doubt that This
disease prevails to greater Of less
extent in nearly all vlcinities, and
the medical fraternity is practically
united in declaring that it is a
menace to public health. Such be-
ing the case, the question isat least
one that demands Official invcs,iga-
ton.

The Story of the Winning.

Editorial correspondence of The Phoenix
MONTPELIER, Oct. IS.
The most exciting senatorial contest
which the state of Vermont has ever
known ended during the noon hour today
in the election of Ex-Governor William p.
Dillingham; to Gil out the unexpired term
of the late Senator Justin S. Morrill,. The
result of the ballots taken on Tuesday and
Wednesday is told in the regular legislative
correspondence of The Phoenix in other
columns of this paper. When the ballot of
Wednesday was over, showing a net gain
of two votes by Gov. Dillingham; and a net
loss of three votes by Gen. Grout, it was
evident that Gen. Grouts chances were
dead and without hope of revival. But
the Grout contingent refused to recognize
this. Word went around that the Grout
men were TO stick, the Democratic leaders
said there would be no break in their ranks,
and during the afternoon the indications
were that there might be no break before
Friday.
But gradually, as the day waned, there
came to be an intangible something in the
air showing that the end was near and that
the inevitable could not be delayed. The
Dillingham; men were serenely confident
and happy, while the faces of the Grout
men betrayed their hopeless plight as
they fitted to and fro on mysterious er-
rands. The Dillingham; Democrats mean
time began to recognize the fact that, if
they meant to have any part in the Gov
ernor's election, delay was hourly growing
more dangerous. During Wednesday even
ing caucus of the Democratic members
was held and vain attempt was made by the
Grout men to secure an agreement to hold
together another day, but the Dillingham;
majority rebelled, and each man was left
free to vote as he pleased next day.
Early Thursday morning came the an
nouncement that Mr.. Prouty had gone
personally to Gov Dillingham;, telling him
that he had taken himself out of the way
and that his supporters we're free to re-
turn to the places from which it was we'll
understood they had come in the Dilling-
ham ranks. There was then no longer any
doubt as to what would be the result of
the vote in Thursdays joint assembly.
The Final Event.
The chamber of the house of represent
tlves was packed and there was an eager
spectator in every available place when the
hour of IL drew near, though the crowd
was not larger than on the two days pre-
ceding. The house had met in regular
session at 10 o'clock, but recess was
taken soon after. At three minutes of 12
the speakers gavel fell calling the house
to order, and exactly on the stroke of 12
the presence of "the Honorable Senate"
was announced. Lieut. Gov. Allen took the
chair, announced the purpose of the joint
assembly, and directed the secretary of
state, as clerk Of the joint assembly, TO
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-10-19
The Result.

The election of William P. Dillingham;
is distinctly triumph for what is best in
our Vermont politics. What is more, it
sets the seal of emphatic disapproval on
political methods which, up TO the begin
ming of this canvass, had been alien to the
state.
There has never been an intimation
from any source that Gov. Dillingham's
canvass has not been conducted on high
plane with freedom from any attempt TO
influence votes by questionable means. To
very marked degree he has commanded
the voluntary, spontaneous and enthusias-
tic support of the young men of the Re
publican party, and it was interesting to
observe at Montpelier when the final strug-
gle was on that because OF this spontaneity
his organization was far more complete
aud effective than was that of Gen. Grout.
The contest of Gov. Dillingham; and his
friends has been against the prestige of a
man 20 years in public life, who until now
has never known defeat, who had in his
control his own complete political machin-
cry, and the work of whose hired men was
apparent in every part of the state. That
such methods as we have seen In use the
past summer have been successfully met
and overcome is not alone cause for re-
jolcing; it puts the people of the state
under a positive debt to the men who
have undertaken and accomplished the
work. We believe that Gen. Grout's most
ardent supporters in his own territory on
this side of the state must feel ? sense of
relief that, after these many years, they
are at last absolved from further obligation
to him, and are free to form new affilia-
tions and begin their political lives over
again.
For Gen. Grout himself there remains
the peaceful retirement of the Kirby farm,
ample means to develop II, and, we hope,
many years of leisure and good health in
which to repent of all the political sins of
which we have accused him the past sum
mer, and in which to cultivate and enjoy
all that is best in life.

Bryan in the "En.my,s Country"

The demonstration for Bryan in New
York city was one of the biggest affairs of
the kind the metropolis has ever known.
Thousands of people gathered at Madison
Square garden, where the principal ad-
dress was made by Bryan, and at the over
flow meetings in Tsmmany hall and other
places. Mr.. Bryan was under the auspices
of Tammany and Boss Croker was much
in evidence.
Mr.. Bryan's speech at Madison Square
garden contained nothing new and was de-
voted to imperialism, militarism and trusts,
although the man who presided over the
meeting is said to be the author of the
sugar trust. He said nothing on the silver
question, and thus ignored The questions
put to him by the national Republican
committee.

NO. ~
VIII he a Model Senator.
lFtom the Burlineton Naws

Mr.. Dillingham; will be a model senator
in appearance and bearing. "He's better
looking than all the rest Of us put togeth
err" said Gen. Grout at the opening of
the canvass, and certainly there will be
few senatorial figures equally impressive,
But not only in looks will the new senator
be man for Vermonters TO be proud of.
He has ability, knowledge of public affairs
and experience in their management, legal
learning, uncommon power as a public
speaker, and an engaging and magnetic
personality. In the ordinary course of
events Mr.. Dillingham; will probably repre-.
sent Vermont in the Senate for many years
to come, and we wish for him, and conf
IDENTIFY anticipate, career that will reflect
lustre on himself and on the Senate.

The betting on the national election in
New York is for Mckinley and for
Bryan.
The New York Herald, after canvass
of the election districts of Greater New
York, is of the opinion that Mckinley and
Bryan will be tied "below the BRIDGE and
that Mckinley will carry the state by 5O,-
600 to 100000.
The largest amount of money per capita
ever in circulation in the United States,
S27, was recorded Oct. l. The gold re-
serve now amounts to s29S, ,661, 300, and
the entire gold fund in the treasury is
$444, SOS, ,76S. The demands for currency
upon the treasury have been double what
they were last year, and indicate a tre-
mendous movement of American products.
With the registration for the first two
days 27, 128 more than in 1896 in Manhat-
tan, 16, 429 more in Brooklyn, nearly 5000
more in Buffalo, over 1000 more in Syra-
cuse, 1900 more in Albany, 14O0 more in
Troy, nearly 700 more in Newburgh, and
1349 more in Binghamton, it cannot be
said that the voters of New York state are
apathetic.
The Vermonters who "were destined to
do no fighting" have been heard from
again, Capt. Brownell's company of Green
Mountain boys having routed force of
Tagalogs in Northern Panay, killing 20,
wounding 40, and capturing % prisoners,
II rifles and quantity of ammunition.
Two of the Americans were wounded.
The Tagalogs were from the island of

the whole thing away Wednesday, when
he let the public know that he was in close
communion with Omnipotence: Listen:

given up the fight. We cannot yet believe
that Providence will suffer Gen. Grout to
be defeated, knowing as He alone knows

that If Mr.. Grout is elected he must have
the support of Mr.. Ross and the lions

call the roll. The senators were first
polied and their votes showed 10 for Dill
lingham, for Grout, and one each for Ross
and Prouty-Royce of st. Albans voting
for Ross and Clement of Rutland for
Prouty, as they had done on the preced-
ing days.
Then came the poll of the house, which
began amid breathless interest. First on
the list was Father Abel of West Haven.
who sat erect, dignifed, self contained,
with good gray head and clean. cut face. a
centre OF interest. Father Abel had
voted for Prouty on Tuesday and Wednes
DAY, but 1t was known that his vote would
change today, and there was a round of
applause when he arose and answered
william P. Dillingham;" to the call of
the clerk. There was another round when
Barber of Barre town, the first Democrat
on the list, voted for Dillingham;, leading
the break in the ranks of his party.
Other changes to Dillingham; were eap-
eriy noted and the applause became al
most continuous until, midway of the roll,
Senator Baldwin of Orleans entered a pro-
test and Lieutenant Governor Allen warned
both members and visitors that the dignity
OF the occasion must be preserved.
The drift continued to be unmistakable
as the roll call proceeded. At12 % n was
over, and those who had kept tally knew
that Dillingham; was elected by strong
majority. Another 20 minutes elapsed
while the clerks made up their figures and
the roll was read for corrections. At124O
