The Dummerston correspondent of The
Phoenix, moved thereto by the recent epis-
tolary correspondence in our columns, with
other literature of the senatorial campaign,
sends this contribution:
The following poem, or Lyric" as the
Rutland Herald would call it, is published
in "The Normal Speller" used in many OF
the schools of Vermont, and is copied for
the enlightenment of the Herald
II know that the world, the great big world,
Will never moment stop
To see which dog NAV be In the wrong,
But will shout for the dog on top.
But for me, | shall never pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right,
For my heart will beat, II 1t beats at all,
For the unoer dog in the fight
General CIRCUITS version of the last two
lines of the "lyric," in one of his speeches
reads as follows:
~ am for the under dog in the fight
Unless the upper dog is clearly right"
The Rutland Herald suspects that thi:
sentiment of General CIRCUITS is new, hav
ing never seen it before.

Cen. Wood 10 the Cuhans

Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood was rendered
an official banquet Saturday night by lead
ing Cubans at Santiago. Gen. Wood re-
ceived an ovation when he arose to speak.
He told the assembled officials that the
most critical time in Cuban history for
generations had now come in the approach
ing election of delegates to a convention
which is to draft a constitution for the
new Cuba. "Whatever the ultimate des-
tiny of Cuba may be-" he said, "its imme-
date future is independence. This is no
political move on the part of the United
States, but a sincere desire to do what is
right. Therefore, beg you, as personal
favor to me and to the United States gov
eminent, to sink your political differences
and passions, and to send men to the con-
vention who are renowned for honor and
capacity, so that the convention may mean
more than the Cubans even now antici-
pate. In conclusion Gen. Wood said :
"Cuban people, your delegates must be
competent to draft a constitution, and it is
duty you owe yourselves and your fellow
patriots to see that your representation is
without party prejut Ice"

If one should ask for a clear and con-
else statement of what 10 to l means, and
its probable effect, if enacted into statute,
upon the trade welfare of the United
States, one need only to turn for answer to
George E. Robertss article in the Septem-
Der Forum ON the "Kansas City Financial
Resolution" AS is generally known MI.
Roberts is director of the United States
mint and may be expected to know where
of he speaks. He shows that the PROPOSE
ton that America should have financial
system of her own manufacture and for
her own sole use is folly. To illustrate his
argument he takes the case of two states
in America, each having different tinan-
cial system, and shows how the daily fuct-
nations between the values of the money
unit in each state would be disastrous to
the increase OF trade. He shows that the
gold standard is not, as has been claimed
by the silver men, an approaching one,
but that the supply Of gold possesses a
regularity and reliability which it did not
have in times past, and that the emergency
which called for silver coinage in times
past does not now exist.

Notes from the Senatorial Campaign,
The Grout Way.

This is from the Hardwick Gazette of
this week:
Imagine Justin s. Morrill, writing that kind Of
a letter = Brattleboro Phoenix.
IT you refer to your own Judas-like let
ter concerning Gen. Grout, dear Phoenix,
we can imagine nothing of the kind.
A fair shot, from the Grout standpoint.
By way of comment let us say that the
Gazette reprints in full Gen. CIRCUITS open
letter from The Phoenix of last week, with
the editorial statement that at is a com
plete and positive denial of some of the
foolish attacks made upon him by the Brat
tlebolo Phoenix and other Dillingham; or
gans." But it prints not a word to show
what called out the Generals letter, or
what was said in answer to it.

:, Grand Forks, Aug. 20.-Some har-
vesting is being done in the county.
The yield is very uneven, some fields
turning out as high as is and 20 bush
els per acre and others are going as
low as 3 or 4 bushels per acre The
average on the acreage cut for the
county of Grand Forks will be about
eight bushels per acre but not over 90
per cent of the wheat will be har-
vested. Some of the farmers attempted
TO save some of the wheat that was
too short to be harvested with a self
binder lil by the use of the old rake
reaper, but the heavy and continuous
rains ms Of last week, aceompa by the
extremely hot weather has practically
ruined all the wheat thus harvested, ii
having either sprouted or routed. The
barley acreage In the county is very
small and the crop is very light. The
portion cut will not yield over 20 bush

HUNTING ACCIDENT.

JAMESTOWN MAN OPENS THE
HUNTING. SEASON WITH A POS
SIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
jamestown, Aug. 2O.-Adolph Bruck-
er of this city accidentally shot him
self and as a result lies in precarious
condition at the residence of George
Spangler, twelve miles south of the
city. A charge of shot struck him
above the right eye and tore hor-
rible wound in his head. DR.. Sifton
was summoned from this city last
evening and dressed the wound.
Brucker was found to be very weak
from loss of blood, those in attendance
finding it almost impossible to stop
the flow. He talked nationally at
times, but at others he was little
fighty.
1t seems that Brucker and George
spangler were driving near the latter,s
residence and had their shotguns with
them so that they might use the same
In case any plover or other small game
might be found. Brucker was hold
ing his gun in front of him. In some
way, probably by the jolting of the
buggy, it was discharged and the
wound in his head was a result. Mr..
Spangler conveyed him to his resi-
de1nce and made every effort to staunch
the flow of blood. .S
Brucker says he thinks that he left
the hammer of the gun up as in no
other way could the gun have been
discharged Brucker will recover, it is
believed if no complications set in,
At the present time it is hard to tell
the exact extent of the wound.
The wounded man seems to be hav
ing a. hard streak of luck. Some
thing less than a year ago he was
stabbed by another man and was laid
up for some time. He had a narrow
escape as had the knife penetrated a
little deeper death would have no
doubt resulted ~
