Some of the excitable partisans of Presi-
dent Mckinley think they can see in ex-
President Harrison's criticism of the ad-
ministration a significance in regard to
future political happenings. In other
words, they believe the ex-President has
an itching palm. Gen. L. T. Kitchener of
Indiana, who is one of ex-President Harri-
sons most intimate friends, SCOTS at the
idea and incidentally says some interesting
things in support of President McKinley's
policy. He says: "TO my mind there is
no doubt that President Mckinley ought
to be and will be renominated. His re-
nomination will be as logical and as imper-
alive in reason and patriotism as was the
denomination of Gen. Harrison in 1892.
The party will succeed or fall on the popu-
lar approval or condemnation of the record
made by the Mckinley administration. No
Republican candidate could condemn that
record and be elected; no Republican can
didate could be elected without indorsing
that record II is but just that the head
of the administration should reap the ben
eits of a victory or suffer the pangs of a
defeat, the campaign being made on his
administration"

SIN More CounterfsItlng.

The Secret Service has just unearthed another
band OF counterfeters in a suburb of New York
city, and secured a large quantity of bogus s.
bills which are so cleverly executed that the av-
erage person would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things Of great value are always Sc
lected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which
has many imitators but no equals for common
disorders like fever, ague malaria, indigestion
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right in the
stomach, and when the stomach is in good work
ing order, il makes good blood and plenty of IL
In this manner the Bitters get at the seat OF
strength and vitality, and restore vigor TO the
weak and debltated. Beware of counteTfeits

The revival of business in this country
the past year has brought about remark
able increase in ship building. At the
Maine yards over 10000 tons of new ship
ping has been launched since Jan. l, and
it is now considered probable that the rate
of 5000 tons month will be maintained,
if not exceeded, throughout the year. Fol-
lowing the business revival freight rates
went up suddenly, while the volume of
business became so great that the available
tonnage was less than two-thirds of what
was required. The ship yards of Bath,
Me-, were never buster than now, the
Bath Iron works alone having contracts
amounting to 100000 which will keep
1000 men at work for two years.

Death Of AureIsan ]. Cook.

Aurelian j. Cook, 81, died Sunday at
the home of his son, f. A, Cook, on
Washington street, after short illness.
Death was due to old age. The funeral
was held at the house at IL o'clock Tues
day, Rev. Il. F. Lowe, pastor of the
Methodist church, officiating. The body
was taken to Springfield, this state, for
burial. Mr.. Cook was born in Hanover,
n. H., March %, 1915, He lived in sew
eral towns, principally in Springfield where
he spent 30 years. He came TO Brattle-
boro about % years ago and was employed
about five years in the Estey organ fac
tories, after which he returned to Spring
field. He married, 80 years ago, Miss
Sarah Parker of Charlestown, Y. II. Mrs
Parker died five years ago last January at
the age of so. and a year from the next
May Mr.. Cook came TO BratteboTo to live
with his son. Mr.. and Mrs. Cook had six
children, two of whom are living, F. A.
Cook of this town and Fred Cook of
Caremont, N. II. Mr.. Cook leaves one
sister, Mrs. Hannah +. Broughton of
North Tunbridge, who is 90 years old.
His father was drOver between Hanover
and Boston, and il is supposed that he
was murdered in Boston and robbed of
money he received for his cattle. Mr..
Cook had been a member of the Metho-
dist church over so years. He had been
totally blind II years, but notwithstand-
ing that infirmity he sawed and split eight
cords of four-foot wood just before coming
TO BrattleboIo, and he has worked up sew
eral cords since, holding one hand on the
stick and splitting with the axe in the
other hand.

An interesting and profitable season of
base ball is promised for the coming year
now that the weak teams in the national
league have been dropped. The circuit
committee executed details Friday reduc-
ing the number of teams in the league to
eight, as formerly, the four retiring clubs
being Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland
and Louisville. The teams dropped were
paid, in round numbers, 100000. The
double umpire system has been done away
with, as it was believed that the system in.
troduced too many incompetent men. The
season will open in Boston, April 10, and
40 games will be played.

Convention of BrattlebOrO Old Maids
I'm the Humorous Enter
tainment by Ladies' of the Universal-
ist Church.
The "Singe Blessedness Society,"" 9th
erwise known as the old maids club held
a convention in the Auditorium Wednes-
day evening. The meeting was supposed
to have taken place at the home of one of
the members, Patience Desire Ware, ard
its object was to secure, if possible, desir-
Gus partners in the matrimonial line.
Music, papers, petitions to Congress, a
general discussion of the future of the
members and the reading of the list of
"eligibles" took up the meeting, and the
spinsters were about to leave for town
where men were plenty-the name of the
place was not given-when Professor
MakeOver arrived on the scene with his
marvellous invention, the remodelscope.
With the aid of his assistant, Adolphus,
the professor was able to change his vic
Tins into almost anything from a picBa-
ninny to an angel.
The entertainment pleased large au-
dience, which was evidently in an appre-
ciative mood. Before the arrival of the re-
modescope the performance was a tritle
slow, but when Professor Makeover and
his assistant began to grind the old maids
into something more palatable there was
plenty OF fun.
Ernest j. Waterman and John l.. Stew
art played the parts of the professor and
his assistant excellently. Their makeups
were taking, their costumes original, and
their actions during the grinding up pro-
cess kept the audience in constant good
humOr Josanhinp lane Grppn the Orpsi-
dent of the society, was admirably acted
by Mrs. Charles II. Davenport; in fact all

tertainment consisted of a program by

was well received

DR.. JonNsoN's POSITION.

Last week we published without COM
ment an article from DR.. Johnson, in
which he gives his reasons for sup
porting Mckinley this year. Think
ing that silence On my part regarding
she same would be misconstrued, l will
make some brief comment upon the
same. The DOCTORS article is plainly
an attempt to prove that his present
attitude is consistent with his strong
writings in 1896 in favor of Bryan, ct
u. He makes ridiculous showing.
In 1896, before he. was defeated in the
domination for congress-, the doctor
vas a powerful exponent Of human
liberty. He quoted Patrick Henry in
hose days. He said, Give me berty
Or give me DEATH He denounced the
Capitalization Of wealth as dangerous
Q the republic. He exhorteu tue peo-
ple to stand up for their rights. But
low it is different; now he is willing to
vote the ticket chanpioned by organ
.zed wealth. Now he cnaracterizes
mis- own gallant work from 81 to '96
IS being On the level with the pig which
squeals when hungry but is content II
It's stomach is filled. Lie says all talk
Of danger TO the republic IRON orga
uized greed is bosh! He is in favor
Of a foreign policy which Will condemn
thousands of American buys to a.
orutalizing warfare against a weak
people and possible death in tropical
JungIes.
Not that we would deny him the
eight to write and talk what he pleases
on political matters. But when he lin
geniously" attempts to convey the idea
70 the people Of the county that he has
,een "out of politics. in local matters
out of consideration for his '.frlends'
and that our comment upon his past
writings was unprovoktd, I believe l
am justified in taking exception there
70. The TRIBUNE has treated DR..
johnson fairly in every way. Out Of
consideration for the past I have
suffered the doctor to 70 on with his
work of trying to disrupt the populist
organization in the county without
publicly calling attention to the same.
have been severely criticised from
many quarters of the county for SO
doing, by good earnest men who be-
lieved forbearance had ceased to be
avirtue. I am not sorry that did so,
even if my silence has been miscon-
strued. But I don't want the doctor
to think that am so dull that do
not know what he has been doing dur
ing the past three years, during all
this time in which he has posed as be-
ing out of politics. During that time
he has used every Opportunity to OPP
pose the peoples Organization in Kan
diyohi county whenever the interests
OF such organisation were opposed by
the so-called old republican machine.
