vermont. Par,in rhl. Year. Election


The people of Vermont have very i'm
portant and responsible duty to perform on
the first Tuesday in September We know
that this has stereotyped sound, but for
all that ii is a very warm and vital fact.
By just so much as the Republican major
ity in Vermont falls below twenty-seven
TO thirty thousand, if this should happen,
by just so much will the anti-imperialists
in Massachusetts, and the Bryanites all
over the country, take heart and raise a
shout of rejoicing. -Four years ago Yer
mont Republicans realized this responsible
ity. They acted upon it, and the result of
our state election was accepted as an omen
of the defeat of Mr.. Bryan in the Novem-
Der election. Vermonters were then filed
with apprehension lest Mr.. Bryan should
triumph, and they therefore put forth
every effort, and paved the way to the
splendid Republican victory in November.
The danger and the duty are the same now
as then. The issue is the same, for there
is only one issue, and that is Organism.
No sane man doubts that Bryan's cleo
tion in November would be followed by
commercial depression and disaster, and in
his recent speech of acceptance he promls-
ed to intensity this condition by declaring
that he would convene Congress in extra
session Immediately after his Inauguration.
This would mean an immediate effort to
overthrow the Republican legislation Of
the last four years, which has given the
country unexampled prosperity. 1t would
mean the repeal Of the present protective
tariff law and of the gold currency law, an
attempt TO establish the free coinage of
silver, and to put at work by legal enact
ment all the vagaries of the Kansas City
platform. 1t would mean calling into the
cabinet and other leading national posi-
tions such representative men of the Dem
ocratic party of today as Croker and Van
Wyck of New York, Hogg of Texas, Pitch
fork Tillman, Bonanza Clark of Montana,
j. K. Jones, George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts, Stone of Missouri, Carter
Harrison of Chicago, and other degenerate
sons of that day when Thurman, Bayard,
Cleveland, Gray, Villas, W. L. Wilson,
Carlisle, William Z. Russell of Massa-
chusetts, Sterling Morton, General Palmer,
Lamar and Olney were representative men
of the Democratic party. The prospect is
not pleasing one. To Vermont Republi-
cans, with their traditions and prediec-
tions, it is least pleasing of all, They
have it in their power to do more than the
Republicans of any other state to make its
realization impossible. 1t is time that
every man was awake and doing his duty
in the good old-fashioned way.
The state and county committees are
/ doing good, though somewhat belated,
work in the rallies which are now being
held in all parts of the state. These will
do much to rouse the people and bring out
the vote, but the responsibility is a per
sonal one. 1t rests finally with each Re
publican. Let every man who believes in
the principles of his party, and the princi
Piles of good government, make up his minC
that he is going to take care of No. anC
do his duty as a citizen on the first Tues
day in September.

The people as whole are always fair
minded and like to see fair play. In last
desperate resort Gen. Grout has attacked
Gov. Dillingham;, a man Of unblemshed
character in private and public life, in a
way which is fully set forth in the columns
of this paper this week. We wait with
patience and confidence for the verdict of
the farmers, with all the other people of
Vermont, on this sort of warfare, now for
the first time introduced into Vermont pol
itics.

A Chapter of Facts.

Developments are at hand this week
which prove beyond any question the origin
of, and the responsibility for, the attack
on Gov. Dillingham; in the matter of oleo-
margarine legislation in Vermont. A
pamphlet has been mailed broadcast
through the state, giving the record of
Gen. Grout in Congress during the past
Il years, including extracts from his
speeches The pamphlet bears the i'm
print of the Caledonian company at St.
Johns bury, and there can be no doubt
that it was edited and approved by Gen.
Grout himself. This s an entirely legiti-
mate thing for Gen. Grout and his sup.
porters to do. But with each pamphlet
there is enclosed a circular, repeating the
lies which have been retailed during the
last six weeks in regard to Gov. Dilling-
hams attitude toward oleomargarine legis-
latien for the protection Of the farmers in
the legislature of 1854 We have been 10th
to believe that Gen. Grout countenanced
campaign methods of this kind. But here
is proof that he not only countenances
them, but that he is using them persistent
ly as his own personal weapon. We be-
lieve there is no danger that any farmer
who reads for himself, and does not take
his opinions at second hand, will be mis-
led in this oleomargarine business. The
whole movement is an attempt to make it
appear that Gen. Grout is the one friend
of the farmers, while Gov. Dillingham; is
| opposed to their interests.
Since the original change with regard to
the oleomargarine legislation of 1884 has
been completely refuted by Gov. Dilling-
hams friends, the Grout men have done
their best to befog and change the issue,
and to make It appear that on general
| grounds, and as a matter Of his personal
choice and opinion. be is against the farm
ers. These tactics have been carried SO
far that this week an editorial has ap-
peared in the Burlington News, Grout
paper, distinctly charging, by insinuation
pledged. if elected to the Senate, to op-
pose the Grout oleomargarine bill nov
pending in Congress, and that it is the
money of the ''oleomargarine trust" which
is behind his candidacy in this state. We
regarded the original attack on Gov. Dill.
| lingham in this matter as the dirtiest piece
OF politics ever perpetrated in this state
We said so, and We here repeat that state
ment. We regard this latest development
in the News as the most wAnton, reckles:
and desperate piece of political bushes:
which has ever been seen in any canvas!
in Vermont.
1t seems like 7, fec'ion on theintegri.
ty of the people Of Vermont that it should
be necessary to say, as The Ptenix her'
says, with positive knowledge, and with I
positive guarantee of the truth Of th'
statement, that Gov Dillingham; not only
knows nothing about any oleomargarint
trust, but that not dollar of money ha!
been contributed or given for his use b!
any person or corporation, and not dol
lar has been used by him except in the or
dinary, legitimate and necessary channels
of campaign work OF the truth of tbi
statement the farmers Of Vermont ma,
feel absolutely sure.

the Vermont National Guards Cover
nOr's Day Yesterday, When Service
Badges Were Awarded.


CAMP GOVERNOR SMITH,
NEAR FORT ETHAN ALLEN,
Aug. Is, 1900.
Companies l, E, F, G, Il and the
Montpelier military band arrived at Fort
Ethan Allen between II and o'clock Sat
urday, and marched Immediately to the
camp ground. "Fours left' had barely
been given and arms stacked when heavy
shower came up, completely drenching all
who were not fortunate enough to crowd
into the few tents which had been erected
by the details sent TN ahead by each COM
pany. Companies B of St. Albans and NJ
of Burlington had already arrived and
pitched their tents and by the middle of
the afternoon camp began 10 assume a
busi1ess-like appearance. Guard mount
was held Saturday afternoon but no dress
parade. Sunday was a perfect day and the
camp was visited by many people, although
the number of visitors did not seem 10 be
as great as usual in former years. Dress
parade at $50 was successful for the first
one in camp.
Monday there was not a pleasant min
ute. 1t rained all day long and conse-
quently there was nothing to do but lie
around and keep out of the wet. In the
evening, although it did not clear off, the
rain stopped long enough to permit band
concert in front of the coloners quarters
and a bonfire to remind the veterans of the
regiment of the days when Camp Olympia
was reality and Cuba a possibility.
Camp is conducted upon more strict
lines than in former years and the results
are proportionally satisfactory. Tuesday
the regiment shot for the autumnal trophy
now held by Company NJ.
Battalion drill was held for the first time
Tuesday afternoon. The khaki trousers

Senators by Appointment.

Governor Nebeker of Utah, Democrat, has in the absence from the state of Gov ernor Wells at Poeatello, Idaho, appointed Judge o. w. Powers to fill the senatorial vacancy that a Legislature deadlock cre- ated. Governor Nebeker is the president of the Utah Senate, and when he found his state without a governor he promptly came to the front and acted with vigor and dispatch. Governor Wells is Republican. and he had gone out of the state to help Governor Roosevelt in a campaign effort.
 Judge Powers appointment presents no better bases of authority than MT. Quay's did, and the Senate refused to let the lat ter occupy d seat Judge Powers how ever may present himself before the Sem ate claim a seat and endeavor to reverse the Quay decision.
 Such a snap appointment is another nail in the coffin of senatorial selection by mid dlemen. Direct selection and voting is wanted and every year brings us nearer the much-needed change.

PROSPECT IS 4 PLEASING ONE

From the Anniston Star.
 The outlook for business in Anniston this fall and winter is particularly encourage ing. Especially is the outlook promising for a good country trade. Pretty soon now three new cotton factories will be in opera tion here, and their pay rolls will add to the already good volume of city business, while the conditions in the adjacent coun- try, and in fact throughout all of the Am niston district, are much above the aver age. Cotton has been selling for more than 10 cents almost every day since the season opened, and much of 1t is being sold in Anniston. Already 300 bales have been shipped from Anniston, and it was but the initial shipment. Hundreds of bales that have heretofore been shipped away will be bought and used in Anniston this year, and this will make Anniston a better market than ever.
 Ten-cent cotton will enable the farmers to not only get square with the world, but to also add to the comforts of their homes by making more liberal purchases than usual, and this will add to Anniston' s business prosperity.
 On the whole, the prospect is a pleasing one, and for the next three or four months there will be brisk business for merchants and good times for farmers.

Population of the States.

The returns for towns of over 5000 pop ulation are well-nigh completed, and the returns for States are we'll advanced Di- rector Merriam announces that this week the populations of Arkansas and Alabama will be announced, and that the figures for the other States will follow so fast that all will be presented by the time Congress meets.
 The small town and the stagnant or de- cining county will now be brought face to face with the truth, and the larger towns win look on as disinterested spectators. The small town that would not build a cot ton factory, and the county that would not invite outsiders to come In will now stake their medicine.
 The popula ton of the State as a whole will interest every person in 1t. The best guess is a gain of 20 per cent, or a total of about 1,S00.oO0 Any figures below this total will be a disappointment, and any above it a gratifying surprise. The gain of the entire country will be but 20 per cent, and it may be that Alabama which is not fed by immigration and is depleted from time to time by removals westward, will not quite reach the countrys average pe percentage of increase. However we shall soon know.

THE MISTAKE OF DOM PAUL

From the Louisville Courier-JournaI.
 The Beers will lose nothing in the good opinion of the world by yielding now. The gallant stand they made until overpowered by superior strength and superior science will always be held up to the admiration or the world. To persevere in the strug- gle now would be suicidal and worse, and would only make the lot of the 15,O00 pris- oners of war and of the unarmed burghers the harder. Now that Dom Paul has abari- doned them, they should lose no time in making submission, an act for which their friends will applaud them
 The president of the Transvaal has done much to pull down in the late years of his life the fair superstructure of fame which he had reared in laborious youth and mid de age. Up to a little over year ago he had conducted himself with wisdom and such circumspectfon as had retained for him the respect and sympathy of the world in his controversy with Great Brit ain. It is impossible not to conclude that in the evening of his life he has become victim of overlapping ambition The Boers never had chance to win In a con- hict with the greatest power in the world but there was a party in England aux- fous to treat them friendly, and the status quo might have been maintained. All the world saw this, and that the two little Dutch Republics went to war as they did Is chargeable mainly to Paul Kruger's fu- tile ambition to be at the head of a Dutch Africa.

Cuba Constitution Makers.

l Out of 450.0oo voters, 1Ss,ooo were regis Those who voted were as rule Radicals or anti-Americans. Of the al delegates only one Conservative is known to have been elected. certainly not over two. The rest of the delegates are Cuba-for-Cubans peo- pie, and some of them are very radical The negro delegates from Santiago will vie with the hot-heads from the western end of the island in that respect
 The Conservative or Democratic Union party consists of business men and land owners, and they will scarcely be repre- sented in the convention. The first and chief question that will come before the convention will relate to the relations of Cuba with the United States, and it is plain that this question will be decided as the business men and land owners of the island would decide it An effort will be made to cut loose from Anglo-Saxon tute- lage The negroes of Santiago have the Latin fever as much as the men of Spanish descent or the Cubn insurgents have it. 
 It is prevalent throughout the island. They want no more military rule, no more An glo-Saxon civilization.
 But Cuba is not an independent State. In determining it's status Congress will have voice. and this may modify the schemes of the Cuban Radicals. It is said that the convention will adopt a constitu- ton to suit itself. and will then appoint commissioners to meet other commission CTS from the United States, the joint com mission to determine the future relations of Cuba and the United States. A pro- tectorate will be very distasteful to the ruling party in Cuba, the Nationalists, and they will not accept such plan if they can possibly avoid it. Altogether Cuba has much politics in sight.

THE DIsPENsARY AGAIN

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The leading citizens and newspapers of Florence want a dispensary law, and will ask the next Legislature for the necessary authority. There is no complaint of con- sequence against the saloon system of Flor ence-at least no arguments of that kind are employed-but a dispensary is wanted for the purpose of making a closer corpo- ration of whisky interests.
 Athens. Dothan, Troy and other Alabama towns are trying the dispensary plan. and are finding it profitable from financial standpoint. Each city is required to pay into the State treasury sum equal to the State license paid by the city saloons dur ing the pervious year, and the profits go to the dispensary corporation. In Athens the city reaps the benefits and spends the money for schools and the improvement of public property.
 It may be that Florence will have trouble securing the passage of a dispensary law for Lauderdale County. The whisky deal CTS are organizing for a fight against the further encroachment upon their premises by the dispensary people. and whisky men are generally successful.

Lieut.. Com. T. T. Hall of the Brooklyn navy yard today talked about Lieutenant Hobson's interview apropos of Dewey's achievement in Manila. MT. Hall said:
 "When the hulls of the Spanish ships sunk at Manila were raised they were found to be all right. They were simply water soaked, aside from the burned tops of the decks. It seems to me as if the Spaniards. seeing that their opposition was of no use against the United States ves- sels took refuge of land projection and there sent some of their ships to the bot tom. Of course, some of the Spanish ships were sunk immediately
 Hall held a commission with Dewey at Manila
