DECEIT EXPOSED.

You believers in Bryan, who asserted
without eqnivocation that he does not
believe in public ownership of industries.
You believed in man named Cleveland
once upon time, and you got Cleve-
land and he did not alter things at all,
and yet you reelected him. Bryan will
howl against trusts, to make you feel
good; but he proposes no remedy that
will bring relief, and if you are posted
on the subject you know this. Such
men are worse than open oppressors.
They daily with the people and fritter
away their opportunities for bettering
their lot in life.
If Bryan is elected by the elements
that compose the Democratic party, as
represented in the legislative halls to-
day, do you suppose that party would
permit such innovations as q change of
system?
| would as soon pay tribute for oil to
Rockefeller as to Bryan. Appeal to

The Queen Is Dead.

Many people who never visit race
tracks or who never saw Maud S viii
regret to learn of the death of the
famous trotter, which occurred last
week at a stock farm in New York
Her performance at Cleveland in 1885
when she lowered the record for a mile
to 2:0S4 gained for her the title OF
queen of the turf, and, while the record
has since been lowered by other horses
aided by pneumatic tires and other de
vices, to those who knew her Maud S
never lost her proud position in horse
dom as queen Of the trotting turf.

The people of Montpelier and

pleased to know that it is now practi-
cklly assured that the Rocky Noun
Jain Bell Telephone Co. will string
their lines through this section of
the country. 1t was recently learn
ed by the Directors of the newly
formed Atlas Club that a quick
move in encouragement of this en-
terprise would probably result sue
cessfully and accordingly petition
to these people to consider this sec
ton of the country was circulated
among the business houses and
promptly forwarded there, with the
result that a most favorable letter
was received from the president of
the company at Salt Lake, Utah, af-
fording much encouragement to the
belief that these people will at once
build line from McCammon east
along the Oregon Short Line and
from Montpelier south through
Bear Lake Valley to Evanston, at
which point they will connect with
the line now building to Rawlins.
This will give Montpelier telephone
communication all over the states
of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Colorado.

An Open Letter
To His Eminence, Herbert Cardi-
nal Vaughan, Archbishop. of
Wastn,;n;s+ar E,,o,Ia,.d

To His Eminence, Herbert Cardi-
nal Vaughan, Archbishop. of
Westminster, England.
MOST EMINENT SIR:-In the cir
cular issued by your Eminence a
few weeks ago, you call the present
war of South Africa as being just
from the part of England.
With due respect to your exalted
position, l beg to differ with you
and declare with the assent of all
Christian nations, that it is the
most unjust war of the century.
Theology teaches, that war can
only be declared, when the natural
law or the law of nations is violated
to a most grievous extent. Q The
Beers having been the victims of
English persecution for long time,
never violated either of these laws.
The law of. nations v, / No. 35
states: ''That every government
has the right and is bound in duty
to judge for itself how far the un-
limited power Of emigration and
of the admission and residence
of strangers and emigrants may be
consistent with its own local inter
ests institutions and safety"
The simple truth is, that the real
grievance Of England against the
Beers is not, that they are unpro-
grcssive but that the Transvaal con.
tains the richest gold mines in the
world, which English capitalists
and spectators want to control.
! Whenever a weak nation has any.
thing, that England wants, and re
fuses to surrender, war is declared
and in the consecrated name OF
ciUiLizGtiOn(?) the same as q
highway robber, she steals away
what belongs to another. She new
err has fought her equals single
handed, but always weaker nations
as every impartial scholar of history
can testify. Her friends may cal
her just, but history in future age
will call her persecution of IRELAND
and the Transvaal, that of the re
fined, civilized highway robber
Some of the Uitlanders do not in
tend to make the South African re
public their permanent home, other
refuse to swear allegiance to it ant
a great many fight at present will
the Beers against England, shown,
that the alleged grievances hav
been ridiculously exaggerated
This war is the outcome of a giganti
speculative scheme of mining mag
mates of Johannesburg who, i
thanks for the hospitality shown t
them by the Beers, have continuous
ly prejudiced public opinion agains
them. There is indeed no conscienc
so>eallous and cold, as not to fee
that ehe Beers are victims of gree
and injustice and that this iniustic
has ALREADY demanded, as is plainl
| visible and will demand vengeant
> and r9tribution on the great judi
7 mept day of nations before the bs
of the Eternal Justice.
