CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

The fact that Vermonters are hold
ing important offices in other states,
and are representatives in the Ma
tiOnal House, leads a number of our
exchanges to advance the opinion
that a man must 60 away from the
Green Mountains to secure recogni.
ton. The Mortified News thinks
the assertion warranted, and cites
Tor proof the instances that Con-
gresham Powers and ex.Governors
Page and Hendee live in one county
-Lamoile-and neither went away
to gain influence or reputation along
ofhce-holding lines. Other instances
can be noted, if necessary, but these
are deemed sufficient Bennington

The Messenger has announced that
it will support Col. A. A. Hall, of St.
Adams, for Congress, There has
been a very general feeling that Col.
Halls candidacy was not to be taken
seriously; that he had gone into the
fight to help some other candidate.
Tell us all about it. [Swanton
Courier. Willingly, Col. Alfred A.
Hall is his own candidate. He is
canvassing for the nomination be-
cause he wants to 60 to Congress
himself and not because he wants to
help anyone else to go. There is no
Interior purpose whatever in Col.
Halls candidacy, and when this fact
is generally understood his many
friends will be glad to find in it
another confirmation of their good
opinion of him. Col. Hall is in the
race for Col. Hall and so is the Mes

The catalogue for Middlebury
College for 1900 was printed in Ak
ron, O. II some alumnus of the insti-
tuition paid the bills we have nothing
further to say, but if the bills were
paid by the college the printing ought
to have been left in the state. The
college is indebted to the Vermont
press for loyal support and much free
advertising, and reciprocity would
be in order.

The Montpelier Journal says that
the annual meeting of the Vermont
Maple Sugar Makers association
may not be held in Montpelier this
month because the Board of Trade
is forbidden by its bylaws to spend
money to entertain the society and
the latter want all the local expenses
paid. The St. Johnsbury Board of
Trade, assisted by philanthropic
citizens, entertained the association
last year and it cost about SIS.
While we are glad to welcome any
organization to our town we believe
it is wrong principle to haveto pay
such legitimate expenses as hall rent,
etc. By so doing this association
gets for nothing what all other state
organizations expect and have to
pay for.

create bureau of ships, consisting
of two classes, one for construction
and another for steam engineering
Other secretaries of the navy have
sought from time to time to have the
bureau increased since the navy was
formed in 1898; when our govern
ment was involved in war it necessi.
tated a heavy increase of work and
demanded new bure aus. Such was
the case in 1915 when three navy
commissioners were appointed. In
1912, the large increase OF work re-
quired more radical changes and
seven bureaus were asked for, but
Congress enacted law to have FIVE
bureaus. In 1862, Secretary Welles,
introduced the present system of
seven. Secretary Whitney advised to
have five bat Representative Boutelle
of Maine, the chairman of the Naval
appropriation opposed it. Secretary
LC g thinks the combination would
ensure more harmony, speed and
prompt action; but in order to avoid
opposition he has provided it should
not take effect until July 1 1902,
when the three Rear-Admirals will
probably be retired so as not to
object.
Representative Boutelle, was
taken i'll in Boston during the holi-
days but is improving at the Mclean
Institute near Boston. Mr.. Foss, of
Illinois, stands next to him on the
committee.
The lecture given by Dr.. F. F.
Hidden, of the Bureau of Ethnology
before the National Geographic
Society, on the Transvaal in South
Africa, drew out a large audience.
His many illustrations of the present
seat OF war made it deeply interest
ing. He visited the country twice;
once for pleasure and once on bust
ness, He states the English have
good and clear title to part of the
country, having conquered it and
paid a heavy amount for their
claims. With his map he pointed out
the four railroads that lead to that
section of the country; he began
with Cape Town and took us up the
eastern coast by Majuba Hill; he
pointed out the place of the defeat of
the British-the views of Ladysmith
showed the mountains in the dis
tance where the Beers are intrenched
pronounced Boo-ers.) johannesburg
has grown into a handsome city
since 1867-large fine houses, with
horse or electric cars in the streets
and bicycle was shown of modern
style. The ranges of mountains
made it clear how difficult it will be
for the English to conquer forces
strongly entrenched behind them. He
calls the Beers some of the finest
marksnen of the world. Their sys.
tenn of slaves of the natives has
them to roam free over the |
country and kill off the great num-
Der of lions that infested the country
and they can kill an animal riding at
a distance with wonderful accuracy.
The English will not tolerate slavery
anywhere and treat the native tribes
much more Justly in everyway; but
whichever WINS it will be better for

Book Is ready for distribution and
contains some valuable information.
The opening declaration is that
-four great facts secm to justify the
Republican party in asking the voters
of the United States to continue in
control OF the affairs Of the govern
ment. First, the promptness with
which it has fulfilled the pledges Of its
platform upon which it successfully
appealed to the people in 1896; second,
the prosperity which has come to all
classes of our citizens with, and as a
result OF, the fuifillment Of those
pledges; third the evidence which that
prosperity furnishes of the fallacy OF
the principles offered by the opposing
parties in 1896 and still supported by
them; and, fourth, the advantages to
our people in the extension Of area,
commerce and international influence
which hav unexpectedly come as an
incident OF the fulfillment OF one of the
important pledges or the platform OF
1896, and with it the opportunity for
benefiting the people of the territory
affected"

Fascination for the stage is said to

fortune. Her father, it is said, will
disinherit her.

strong objection to the stage that he
declares Las daughter can share none

Mrs. Brown admitted that her
father was much displeased, but said
she hoped he would become reconciled.

Professianel traders are having
things all their own way, and specula-
tion is practically a Stand-still For
a couple of days last week prices were
bid up by scalpers, who managed to
make stocks show little strength,
but the market has again fallen into a
ethargy, and there II lazily lags.
Tuesday morning quotations were
slow-there was but little doing in any
part Of the room. Tn sales fer the day
numbered 1865 shares.
Good news does not put prices up,
nor does bad news put them down.
Taken all in all, however, it would
seem that recent developments have
demonstrated that the market is in
herently strong rather than that it is
in weak position.
Wheat showed some weakness, but
corn continued strong. Liverpool was
three-eights d lower, as compared with
the close OF yesterday. There does not
seem to be much foreign demand for

vator men are holding out for higher
prices, and confidently expect to get
them.
