Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-09-21

The TELEGRAM notes with gratifi-
cation that Barre has at least one
friend that is not constrained by false
information to believe that the Gran
lite City is the worst place on the
map. Our conclusions are drawn
from the following compliment con-
ferred by the Burlington Free Press:
"Barre has reason to be proud of
her vital statistics for the month of
August. According to the report Of
her health officer there were only nine
deaths in the city during the month,
while the births numbered 20. The
Granite City also has more reason I'M
questionably to look forward to the
census returns with anticipation than
any other city outside Of Burlington,
and her per cent may be even larger
than our own

Soon the comic papers will begin to
priut caricatures of the Vermont
farmer, picturing him in cowboy Co.'S
tune with a Colts six shooter on eth
er hip and a ferocious bowie knife
hanging from his belt, while our
peaceful brethren from the far west
will rush sen masse" for the land
which promises so much adventure.
Through it all the quiet citizens OF
Windsor county are trembling lest
their own home may be the next to
suffer from the stray bullet sent from
a desperado's gun. 1t is indeed re-
markable and our neighboring county
has the sympathy Of all that she
should be visited in one summer by
such a pair of sensational events as
the Shaw affair and the Quechee rob-
berry.

I His Efforts.
A story illustrating the goou sense
ord humor of the late King HumDert
IL told at the expense of hls physician
nr soelione, Sometimes the Rllig'
from his hunting lodge OF Castle fu-
sano went to the sea and amused UNI
self by shoveling sand INTO u cart
"Take care, your majesty" said easii'
one one day, mot to perspire 700
much" "Ah, my dear Signor Doctor,
answered the king, resting his cn'l
on his two hands that grasped inc
handle of his spade, "this muscular eA'

that feel very well, and you are
afraid you see in this poor shower
competitor." And, laughing heartily
the king finished filling his cart.
However, by exposing himseil III
every way without exercising any care
tbe king contracted bronchitis when
took n chronic form and gave MN
rather troublesome cough. IlIls cough
was a source of anxiety to the faith-
full doctor, rs he could not convince ms
patient of the necessity for taking med
jcine. Occasionally the DOCTOR. was
even sent away abruptly by the king
who would say, 81 have not called you.
Why did you come? You may 60
thank you very mr.ch."
One evening, however, the doctor
thought he had gained his point, and he
prepared for the king in his bedroom
the powders he was to take during the
night. The next morning Dr. Shgllone
rose very early, being very anxious to
know the effect Of his medicine. He
was received in the bedroom and at
once asked, "Well, how does your maj
esty feel this morning.?
"Much better-I may say quite we'll"
was the response.
"Ah," observed the doctor, rubbing
his hands with satisfaction, you see
the results of listening to reason"
"What do you mean" asked the
king.
"The powders"
"Bravo!' shouted Humbert. "Go
into the next room and see what you
can find"
The powders were in the waste paper
basket.

Gof-Fleming Contest.

1t has been stated against Judge
Brannon that the state supreme court
decided that Fleming was elected gov
ernor over Goff No such decision was
ever made. The court disclaimed any
power to decide between them for want
of Jurisdiction. and held only that the
legislature could decide the matter un-
der the Constitution, Just as the SUI
preme court of the United States lately
decided In the contest over the govern
orship In Kentucky between Taylor and
Beckham.
The state court did in another case
decide material matter In favor OF
Goff. 1t held that the returns OF Kan

about 1900 for Goff, must be sent By the
secretary OF state to the legislature. &c

the election for governor and that an
Injunction issued by a circuit court to
restrain the secretary OF state from
sending the Knnawha returns to the

returns from Kanawha county from go

Who Owns the Minesp

4 q
New York Sun: Six weeks before the
national election the forces of disorder
behind the Bryan movement have
brought about strike in the Pennsyl-
vaHia coal fields. The BryaH'press Is
doing what 1t can to split and llstort the
issue OF the situation, but politics hasn't
the power to split or distort it or lessen
its simplicity. So.
10 make 1t wholly clear, let us suppose
That the miners on strike have, to q
man. struck OF their, own motion, in
stead Of being driven to It by cajolery
or threat OF the particular union that
has been the ostensib1e agent In 10.
mentlng the disturbance. The, vital
question at stake to the public Is still
whether the owners OF the mines, the
operators, shall manage their property
a. seems most desirable to them, or
whether some concession to the strla-
ers shall be forced upon them by the
matchmaking pressure of lawlessness
In any form, direct or Indirect.
Shall the lnilammatory rawlings OF the
Bryan press. or actual violence perpe-
trated by the strikers upon other miners
desiring to work. be suffered to over
throw the operators right Of owner
ship?
No! A thousand times, No. There
can be no other answer by those alive
to the Importance OF the question. Cld-
NOR over the difference In fortune be-
tween employer and employee can't
drown the answer either.

are in striking contrast with the dark
days OF Democratic rule, which a prom
inent labor leader has described as
days OF hunger, horror and misery"
Mr.. Bryan, however. affects to see no
Improvement over the times OF 1896. but
the reports OF state labor commission
ers confound him. Commissioner Bar
toms excellent report Of conditions In
West Virginia. can be supplemented by
the commissioners Of other states. Take,
for instance. Massachusetts,. The Ia
Dor commissioner OF that state reports
that there was n net decrease during
the four years Of Cleveland's admins
tration OF S96.916.0O0 In the value Of the
products OF Industrial establishments.
OF s40S5.252 in the total wages paid, and
VI lO,Ooi III liz ilutiibCi VI PCiSVio Siii'
ployed. During the first two years OF
McKiniey's administration there was
an increase of s45. 200, O54 in the value OF
products. s4.219.7Sl in wages. and 14.2lS
In the number Of persons employed.
The labor commissioner OF New York
reports that In slxty-slx establishments
in that state there was an increase Of
20 per cent in the number Of employed
In 1899 over the number employed In
1894. and during the first two years
Of McIlinley's administration the en-
ployes OF those establishments received
in wages eight millions of dollars more
than during the four years OF Cleve-
lands administration. The New
York commissioner also reports that
atthe end of September. 1899, only AZ per
cent Of the working people of New York
were unemployed. That was q show
ing which induced the Democratic New
York World to say:
"How much these simple figures mean
of prosperity How much they mean
of happiness in the home lives of hum
dreds OF thousands! How much they
mean Of welfare for the country! What
warning they hold for politicians who
would start another calamity cam

Prosperity in Kansas.

The candidate of the Demo-P opulist
party for, the presidency recently pass
ed through the state Of Kansas telling
the farmers Of the misery and woe they
are suffering under the present admin
istration, but we do not suppose they
paid particular heed TO such nonsense.
II we are TO believe the Topeka Capt.
tai, and II certainly Is as credible as
Mr.. Bryan, the decrease In bonded debt
OF all the counties Of Kansas. with ten
exceptions. during the last three years,
averaging million dollars decrease
for every year. Is the latest evidence,
OF the recovery OF financial credit, ami
prosperity. In the three years ninety
five counties decreased their bonded
debt by over three million dollars. and
the ten counties increasing their debt
brought down the net reduction TO
s2,92S.37l.
How can the apostle Of calamity rec
orcile these facts with his assumption
of the prevalence OF distress, which Is
nowhere apparent. except In the per-
verified minds OF the dcmagogues Of the
party OF discomfort.
In further discussion OF the pros
perity that has come to Kansas, the
Topeka Capital says:
While mortgage records are not re-
ported In Kansas. yet from time to time
newspapers in the state report large
cleaning up Of mortgages. The Marion
Record last week stated thut rs against
229 foreclosure suits In Marion county
during Cleveland's administration there
were but &C foreclosure suits during Nc
klnley's. Thus far in 1900 but five suits
have been filed In that county. During
last year the net reduction OF mortgage
debt In Marion county was s?7s.403.
If Marion is typical Of the whole
state, the reduction OF mortgage debt
last year was between s2o.0o0.000 and
$50 900. 900. That It was In any case very
heavy and that the state is to-day In n
more Independent condition financially
than In any previous period OF Its histo-
ry goes without saying.
Of labor we may turn or what test We
may seek to apply-the result shows
that the wise measures Of the ReDubll-
can party have done marvellous things
for the working men. Under the
present administration the laboring
men Of America have become considera-
bic else. They have been able. for cx-
ample. TO Increase their number deposit
ing In savings banks from 4In.6S7 In
1895 to 5.GS7 .SlS In 1899. They have been
able TO Increase the total OF their de-
posits from $3.50. 597, 900 in 1895 to 81
go. 3GG, 900 In 1S99-an Increase OF SILL
100000. And they have been able to
know that 100000 Of their kind. who
four years ago were In idleness have
now steady employment at living wages.
