Destroyed by Fire.

On last Sunday evening the residence Of
Mr. Daniel Long, an aged gentleman living
near Cover, was destroyed by fire. The cause
of the burning is not known, but is supposed
to have originated in defective iue. Every.
thing was consumed before any one could
render assistance. The loss is about $500.
There was no insurance on the building.

The Democrats have defined the para
mount" issue in their national platform,
but just what would be done with the
Philippines in case of Mr.. Bryan's election
is not clear. Senator Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee and
manager of Bryan's campaign, when asked
by reporter at Long Branch if Mr.. Bryan
could withdraw Immediately the troops in
the Philippines if elected, replied: "Why
not? They were ordered to the Philip
pines. Why can't they come back. They
we're taken in boats. Why can't they be
brought back in boats?"

Chinese Called to Account.
Secretary Hay Tells Ii Hung Chang
There Can BE No BRrtering for the
Lives of the EnvOys.

Secretary Hay Tells Ii Hung Chang
There Can BE No BRrtering for the
Lives of the ENJOYS.
Secretary Hay has notified Europe and
Japan and has made public the fact in
Washington, that the American govern
ment is taking steps to end the vacillating
of the powers-that-be in Pekin. In corre-
spondence with Ii Hung Chang at Shang-
hal, the highest Chinese official that can
be reached by cable, he has sternly called
the Chinese authorities to account. He
refuses TO parley or barter with the viceroy
about the advance of the allies on Pekip,
which Earl Ii proposes should stop as the
price of continued protection to the ENJOYS,
their safe delivery at the coast, or the re-
opening of communication between them
and their governments. This proposition
the United States will not even transmit to
the powers.
But ir bargaining thus, Secretary Hay
points out, China admits her power to pro-
tect, deliver and open communication with
the ministers in PekiD. Protection and
and free communication are therefore, de-
manded, not as a favor, but as right.
Further, Earl Ii is urged to influence the
Imperial authorities Of China 10 communi-
cate and cooperate with the relief expedi-
tion. Failure to do these things, Secretary
Hap says plainly, is already considered as
unfriendly, and in continuing in this pol
icy the Chinese authorities are assuming
heavy responsibility. The language en-
ployed by Secretary Hay is vigorous and
unmistakable, and taken in connection
with President McKiniey's return to Wash
ingtoD, cannot but be considered indicative
of the beginning of a determined effort to
bring the Chinese to their senses and as a
strong diplomatic backing up of the ad-
vance of the allied troops on Pekin.

Allies Expected TO Reach Pekin Aug
Ust 12,

A despatch from Shanghai, received yes
terday, stated that the allied forces began
the advance toward Pekin Wednesday. 1t
is estimated that the expedition is compos-
ed of 10000 men of all arms, with ITO guns,
and that they hope to reach Pekin Aug.
10. A third native brigade of four regi-
ordered to China from India. A despatch
received in Paris states that Lii Hung
Chang has told the United States consul
that the ministers in Pekin will be put in
communication with their respective gov
ernments if the march to Pekin is arrest
ed. The restlessness of the Chinese is in
creasing in Southern provinces, and active
preparations for war are in evidence.

Vermont Democrats who went on record
as favoring sound money in their state con-
vention four years ago, and who after
ward threw their convictions to the winds
in order to get into the party band wagon,
ought to have a fellow feeling for Adlai
Z. Stevenson. This is the way Mr..
Stevenson felt in 1892 when he wrote in
his letter accepting the nomination for
vice president on the ticket with Grover
Cleveland: "To the plain and unequivo-
cal declaration of the convention in favor of
sound, honest money, l subscribe without
reservation or qualification. A safe circu-
lating medium is absolutely essential to
the protection of the business interests of
our country, while to the wage Garner or
to the farmer it is all important that every
dollar, whatever its form, that finds its
way into his pocket, shall be of equal, un-
questioned and universally exchangeable
value and of equal purchasing power" A
few ars before he wrote this letter Mr..
Stevenson was an ardent GreenbAcker, and
now he is for free silver. He evidently be-
lieves the only consistent man is one who
changes his mind to suit present eXi-
gencies.

Cucumber Radiance.

The st. Johnsbury Republican is in a
stat e of Utilization this week. 1t refers to
"Senator-to- be" Grout, and finds mellow
radiance for its candidate in the Republi-
can senatorial nominations in the several
counties. 1t does this by observing that
the first county convention, in Caledonia,
nominated two Grout men, and that the
last county convention, in "watery" Grand
Isle, also named a Grout senator, and
then throws out this bewilderlng rides
cence:
This, with liberal scattering Of
Grout men between, leaves the
complexion of the senate even
better than was expected. 1t
would not be surprising TO find
that ma aiority of the Senate is for
him after all, when the time of
the actual counting of the votes
arrives. 1t is at least significant
that the Alpha and Omega coun-
ties are for him, to say nothing of
others. This, being interpreted,
as they used TO say in Judee,
means that Vermont from first
to last is for Grout for senator.
ht bNIhlA uOOo NV hhOW hOW AAOl-
man w. Marvin of Alburgh will vote for
United States senator, If he is elected to
the state senate, and The Republican prob
ably does not know. He was uninstruct-
ed, and supporters Of both the leading can
didates claim he is with them.
Everyone interested in the canvass,
however, knows that 10 senatorial nomi-
nees, in Addison, Bennington, Chittenden,
Lamolle, Washington, Windsor and Wind
ham counties, have been instructed to vote
for Mr.. Dillingham;. The figures Of The
Barre Times, elsewhere given, show that
IS nominees are for Mr.. Dillingham;, seven
for Grout, three for Prouty, one for Ross
and one doubtful, and that as between
Dillingham; and Grout the senate will
stand 20 to 10. These figures are substan-
italy correct. If the Alpha and Omega,
with the Omega doubtful, give comfort to
Grout supporters, they are in a class be-
yOnd the demonstrator who extracts sun
shine from cucumbers.

How .hs Negroes Are DIsranohIsed.

The North Carolina negro disfranchising
amendment of the constitution, which is
the issue in this years election, shows its
animus clearly in the fourth section, which
is as follows:
Every person presenting himself for
registration shall be able to read and
write any section of the constitution in
the English language and, before he
shall be entitled TO vote, he shall have
paid on or before the first day of May, of
the year in which he proposes to vote, his
poll tax for the previous year, as prescribed
by article 3, section l, of the constitution,
But no male person who was on Jan. 1,
1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled
to vote under the laws of any state in the
United States wherein he then resided,
and no lineal descendant of any such per-
son shall be denied the right to register
and vote at any election in this state by
reason of his failure to possess the educa-
tional qualification herein described, pro-
vided he shall have registered in accord
ance with the terms of this section prior
to Dec. /, 1908.

Republicans believe that Bryan's cleo
tion would bring disaster to the business
world, and George Fred Williams was
frank enough to admit that war on indus
tries was intended when he said at Buffalo
Saturday in a public address: LET us
stand arrayed, a solid phalanx against
kings of transportation, of industry and of
finance, and join in the organized effort to
defeat the industrial empire" Williams
evidently wishes to set the "white slaves"
free again.

The figures in the annual report of the
treasury bureau Of statistics hardly corro-
borate the claims of the silverites that the
worlds gold supply is inadequate for cur
rency needs. The gold production of the
United States in 1899 was the largest in
our history, amounting to 72,5OO,0o
against S64, 900, 900 in the previous year,
and the gold production of the world in
1890 was 1915, 100000, an increase of
about $25, 900, 900 over the preceding year.
During the four years, 1s9699, the worlds
production of gold amounted to over ST.
900, ,00O, ,00O, of which one-quarter was pro-
duced by the United States.

The Duty of vermonters.

| Vermonters are over confident this year.
They believe Mckinley is sure to be elected,
and with feeling of security they have
not aroused with sufficient earnestness to
the duty which is before them. Four years
ago when the country was threatened with
"per6dy" and "dishonor" in case of
Bryan's election Ito quote the words of
prominent DemocraD VermonteIs rallied
with enthusiasm to give the first emphatic
rebuke to policy which threatened the
overthrow of our financial and industrial
systems, and at the state election rolled up
have today the same issues which were
vital then, and in addition the proposed
reversal of our policy in the Philippines
this country disgraced in the eyes of the
world and great work which has already
cost dearly in lives and treasure abandoned
Vermont has pointed the way of Repub-
lican success or failure in all campaigns of
recent years, and the country will look in
the September election for her answer to
the Democratic policy. If Vermont re-
spOhuo WIN " biS haJOAllJ ~ viii Oc sig
nal of encouragement all over the land
Vermont is not in danger from the Democ-
racy, but the country is, and the only way
for Vermonters to help the country most is
by registering their feelings against the
Bryan program in the election in Septem-
Der.
Let all Vermonters remember that the
greatest duty they can perform for their
cOuntry's welfare and honor this year is
by voting the Republican ticket in the
state election

New Orleans fell to the level of Pekin in
the riots there in which all negroes who
were found on the streets were assaulted.
The police we're unable to restrain the
mobs for two or three days and the militia
had to be called out to assist in restoring
order. The mortality of the rioting would
make big casualty list for a week in the
Philippines, IA people being killed, eight
white (all shot by the desperate, Charlesl
and six negroes; 81 severely wounded, 13
whites and 1S negroes; and over 40 slightly
wounded. The Lafon schoolhouse for col
ored children, in which 800 youngsters
were being educated, was burned, and the
torch was also applied to the homes of ne
groes living near the school building,
Thomy Lafon was a negro who accumu-
lated fortune of S60000 and left it all
to charity, part going toward the building
of this schoolhouse, part to charity hos
pital, and part to two homes for the aged,
one for the cOlored race and one for the
white.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republican
congressional committee, has been looking
over the situation state by state and dis
trict by district and has come to the con-
clusion that the Republican party has the
fight of all fights on its hands 10 Canythe
House this year, and he doesn't see any
use in trying to keep this fact from the
country at large, The trouble is that
same apathy and over-conAdence which
almost lost the House to the Bryan De-
mocracy in 1898 Even the good times
count as an unfa vorable factor. People
are so immersed in business that they are
not thinking much about politics.
