He went out of the service in 1865 as
captain o. Co. G, 9th regiment.
When he resigned he was the Oldest
Adjutant General in p int of service of
any in the Union save one, ard had
well earned national reputation in
military circles because of his most
creditable administration of his office.
The charges against him of two years
ago should more properly have been
made against his superior officer, who
was directly responsible for whatever
errors he was technically guilty of dur
lag the two preceding years.
The selection of Gen. Gilmore to
succeed him is admittedly a most ex-
celient one from every point of view.
Gen. Gilmore is an admirable officer
and official, and the people have every
reason to expect that he will carry into
the administration of the duties OF the
Adjutant Generals Office the same
painstaking and conservative methods
which have won for him most envia-
BILE reputation in the Office of Quarter
master This office will very
likely remain vacant until it is filled by
the Legislature in joint assembly.
There is just now considerable talk
in political circles favoring the con-
bining by the Legislature of the two
offices of Adjutant and Inspector
General and Quartermaster General in
one Office under Gen. Gilmore, and
judging from the sentiment in favor of
the idea this may be the result.
Gen. Gilmore was born in Fairee,
October II, 1889, was educated at New
London academy, and was member of
Company D, Eighth Vermont Voun.
teers, in the civil war, being discharged
as quartermaster sergeant of the regi-
ment.
He was member of the House of
Representatives in 1878 and of the Sen
ate in 1882. He has held the usual
town offices and has been town treas
urer of Fairlee for twenty-seven years.
He was first elected quartermaster gem
eral in 1886 and enters upon the duties
of his new Office with the best wishes
and entire confidence Of the people.

Why Blasplleme?

The Catholic churches Of Brooklyn
have organized Holy Name societies as
an adjunct to each society, the men,
bers of which are pledged against
blasphemy. This also includes every
variety of profanity, but ia especially
directed against the frightful extension
of the practice of disappearing the
Holy Name in conversation.
This is a work which should be ex-
tended as rapidly as possible into every
hamlet and corner of the land. Pro-
family and blaspheiny are today probably
the most prevalent vice in this coun-
try. 1t is everywhere heard. Even
the man who at times uses a profane
expression is astounded by the vile
and shocking oaths which are heard on
every hand as he passes along the
street. 1t is more spirit of careless
ness of habit than of irreverence in
many cases. 1t is the easiest vice in
all the catalogue to ''pick up" Gen
tlemen who would consider it dead
ly insult if they were not given that
title, profane and blaspheme in ordin-
airy conversation-unconsciously, pos
sibly in way to make the listeners
blood chill. Horrible strings of pro-
family are quietly absorbed in the
minds of small children, and the little
boys on the street vie with each other
in emitting grotesque volleys of mean
ingless blasphemy. The extent of this
utterly senseless and most silly of
vices is beyond co inception, but it has
not gained such hold that conditions
in this respect cannot be improved.
Will not 'gentlemen" try to deserve
the name? Will not parents use more
care by precept and example to pre-
vent this stain eating into young lives?
Why should not the example of the
Brooklyn churches be followed, not
only by all the Catholic churches of
the country but by every religious So
ciety of whatever name in the land?
Why not?

Exit Peck, Enter Gilmore.

The Vermont sensation of yesterday
was the resignation of Adjutant Gener-
al T. s. Peck, to take effect Oct. 1st,
next Monday, and the immediate, not
to say instantaneous, appointment by
Gov. Smith of Quartermaster General
W. H. Gilmore of Fairlee, to succeed
him.
The resignation of Gen. Peck has
been expected for some time, aud it
was announced in the JOURNAL some
days ago that it was supposed to be I'M
der way. 1t has since been thought,
however, that Gen. Peck might retain
the office until his term expired by linn
itation. This, apparently, he has not
deemed expedient. Now that he is
out, let the yelping at his heels cease,
and let his fellow Vermonters give him
the credit which he in many respects
we'll deserves. He was among the
States youngest and best soldiers In
the war Of the rebellion, and served
with honor and distinction throughout.

The United States Senate.

Senator Ben Tillman became wildly
angry at Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
in the Senate one day last winter be-
cause of some tauns of the incisive
Badger, and shrieked at him in his
blackguard way, "I'll come up there
next summer and nail your hide to the
largest pine stump 1 can find in the
State" Fine quality of senatorial
courtesy, wasn't it? Well, Tillman has
been up there, but secured nothing
with which to ornament stump. AS
matter of fact, Spooner and his hosts
of loyal friends made it 30 torrid for the
billingsgate South Carolinian that he
was glad to get out with his own skin.
This allusion to Tillman leads to a
very brief consideration of the United
States Senate in point of comparative
ability with those of earlier days, land in
general department and s,atesmanlke
ability. The Senate of today is an ex-
ceedingly able body. 1t contains many
men OF very extraordinary ability in
various lines. In point of oratory it
has not the strength of Senates OF days
gone by, but this is largely non-essen-
tial. Men of action, with keen percep-
ton and minds trained to the finest
point in the handling of great ques
tions, are much more valuable 10 their
country than meu whose regulations
are builded only on linguistic pyrotech
MICS and magni6cence in oratory.
The days and nights and weeks and
months of hard work in the service of
their country, the hardest, most trying
and most valuable work, receive little
recognition from the correspondents in
search Of sensational incident. The

1t was the worst ever known in vest
ern Alaska. A lumber Of barges and
lighters were driven ashore and totally
wrecked. AL along the beach for miles
both east and west Of Nome, the wind
and water Gated havoc with tents and
mining machinery.
a number of lives are believed TO
have been lost. II lie known that An
drew A. Ryan OF Los Angeles
was drowned. Several captains and
seameu on small tugs are missing and
1t IS thought they are lost. Fully 500
people are homeless and the loss to
property and supplies is over half
million dollars.
There is not an alley leading to the
beach that is not filed with debris,
Numerous small buildings were swept
entirely away. The damage to build
ings, tents, household effects, mer-
chaudise and other goods and chattesr
is seen everywhere along the water
front. A serious loss is the disappear
ance OF over two thousand tons Of coal.
Capt. French, in command of the
troops, has thrown open the govern

homeless by the storm.

AT MANILA.

MANILA, Sept 27.-Vigorous attacks
were made Tuesday night on the
United States outposts in the districts
near Seapote Bridge, Lsspnas, Paran
aqua, Bsccor aud linus, twelve miles
south Of Manila, the scene of the fight
ing last October. 1t is estimated that
the rebels numbered 400, and that they
we're armed with rifles. The inhabi-
tants took refuge in the churches. The
Americans have since theoretically dis
persed the enemy, killing and wound
ing fifty.
A party of scouts belonging to the
Twenty-itth United States infantry
landed on the Island Of Samar, the in
habitants and insurgents fleeing to the
mountains. They met with but slight
resistance and burned town.
1t is reported that an American
scouting party developed body of in
surgents in the province of Nueva
Ecija, two skirmishes ensuing in which
twelve of the natives were killed.
Similar rushes have taken place near
Iudang aud Silarg in Csvite province,
and near Iba and Subig, in lamb iles
province, the Anne ricans having two
killed and three wounded.
Advces from the leland of Leyte say
that General Mojica's bands have been
scattered and demoralized by Major
Henry T. Allen of the Forty third in
tantry, who has vigorously pursued the
insurgents into the mountains, captur-
ing many and taking quantity of
money, rifles, ammunition and stores.

that cause. DIR. David Kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy is the only sure cure
known for diseases of the Kidneys,
Liver, Bladder and Blood, Rheuma-
tism, Dyspepsia and Chronic Constipa-
ton. 1t is marvellous how it stops that

water, corrects the bad effects Of
whiskey and beer and shows its bene-
fetal effects on the system in an in

drug stores at $1.00 bottle.
You can tell just as well as a ply
stefan whether your Kidneys are dis
eased or healthy. Fill tumbler with
urine and let it stand "a hours if it has
a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy,
discolored or pale; if it is Iopy or

ton with steady hand and strong brain
are part Of the perfect machine which
moves 40 easily that it gives no sound.
1t is the mislit, the abnormal growth,
the eXcresence on the greatest parlis-
mentary body in existence, which at
tracts attention. 1t ia The Tillmans
and the Pettigrews and the Aliens and
the Wellipgtons, the carbuncles in the
S nate, which bring harsh aud unthink-
g judgment on it.
These regrettable accidents ere the
exception by minute minority, not
the rule. The Senate is not to blame for
harboring such people; is shameless
constituency at home. Such characters
have in recent years aud in years long
gone disgraced The body of which they
are members, and will continue to do
so as long as a State has no proper
sense of its obiya ions TO the country
at large.
Therefore, remember that the Senate
is not to blame or responsible for the
bacteria in it; they are carried there by
adverse circumstances over which only
sovereign States have control. If
there is a moral TO this, it is that the
election of proper man as United
States Senator imposes a mighty re-
sponsibility on any State. Unless he
is quite too bad, the Senate has to take
what is sent.

Gov. Roosevelt would be subj cted to
indignity and violence could hardly
have been expected, however, any
where in this country. The published
news reports o, the attempts to do
him bodily injury indicate the hiring
Of bands of professional ")ad m NJ
and DULLES by the anti-p~ogression
and snti-houest dollar party, and by
meeting his arguments with clubs
and revolvers to iucfpacitate him from
further effort against dishonOr du.ing
this campaign, But they did not know
their man and they did not realize bis
strength in immo diately available
friends. They were not terrorizing a
poor Greaser, nor were they driving
out a negro postmaster. The object of
their interest had seen revolvers be
fore, aud knew how they sounded.
Therefore he refused to be terrOrized
or stempeded, and continued to enlght-

But to what straits has once great
party arrived, when it fnds itself with
out material for argu nent and goes on
record as endeavoriug 20 prevent by
force and violence the success of it's
opponents!
Theodore Roosevelt has super
abundance Of material for direct and
convincing argument at his com mand,
and uses it against the opposition like
blows from pile.driver. The only
resort of his opponents is violence. 1t
is the same old party of the Ku .Klux,
lynchings, midnight assassinations and
burnings al the stake. In South Caro-
lima, Mississippi or Cripple Creek, the
methods are the same.

The national gold Democratic ticket
of Gallery and Howe-the Senator
from Louisiana and the patriot from
Massachusetts--has now entirely re-
fused to accept the nomination for the
presidency and vice presidency re-
spectively, and the party is now with
out head. 1t has long been without a
body. The gold Democrats who have
had the courage Of their honest convic.
tons of right are in effect good Repub-
licans and will vote for Mckinley as
they largely did four years ago. On
the other hand, the element of the
gold Democrats in which the faint Of
Democracy overbalances the tincture
of financial honesty and patriotism has
returned to Organism. Therefore, ss
a matter of fact, there can be no such
thing as a gold Democrat or a gold
Democratic party. He who is not for
an honest dollar as upheld by McKin-
ley is against both.

alton in Cuba, the Bratlleboro Reform.
