"VermOnt's Senator"

Under this head the Boston Herald
editorially says:
"The impression in intelligent quar-
tiers is that Vermont has made good
choice in eleciiug w. p. Dillingham; to
the United States Senate. He is a
younger man tban we're his competitors
for the place, yet still of an age in
which his mental faculties are well
matured. He will come to the Senate
also fresh from the people aud without
being identified with the contentious
for office which have been common In
the State during more recent years
1t is generally wholesome for a com.
monwealth in which one party has had
the control for long period to infuse
newer blood among its public men. Mr.
Dillingham'e political orthodoxy has
not been open to question in the
slightest degree, and the fac, that the
Democratic vote of the Legislature
was cast for him would seem, there
fore, to be tribute to his personal fit
ness for the position"

Health Is All.ImpOrtant.

Exceeding caution should be exer-
cised in the purchase of articles OF food.
Interruptions manufacturers place
aDything be ore the public that will
sell al large profit, without regard to
its usefulness or heulthfulness. At
present there is great raid upon the
baking powder market, and 80 many
impure and adultersted articles OF this
kind have been found peddled about
the country that the authorities in
several OF the States have taken the
necessary action TO expose them.
While the report OF the Congressional
committee shows that there is baking
powder absolutely pure, it also shows
that large mum Der OF brands are made
from alum, or phosphate and. alum
combined. The danger to the public is
made still greater by the effrouiery with
which the proprietOrs of the impure
powders advertise them as perfect, or
twist and perveft the official reports in
| their favor.
The official reports give the name,
strength, and ingredients of all the va
rious brands found on sale in the State
Royal Baking Powder reported to be
the purest of all the powders tested
Many powders examined contained i'm
purities, as much ne ten per cent, ant
some over half of their entire weight.
These impurities were alum, lime
terra alba, etc The danger TO health
from the indiscriminate use of alum
powders cannot be over-estimated
Every precaltion should be taken tt
keep them from the kitchen.
The official tests made by the Unitec
States Agricultural Department and b.
the various State chemists likewis
show the Royal Baking Powder FIRE

rally says:
"The Republicans of Vermont have
done we'll in choosing Ex-Governor
Dillingham; to the Senate, where he
will fill the seat so long occupied by
Mr.. Morrill,. Mr.. Dillingham; has al
ways had a warm place in the hearts of
Vermonters. He is an able,
level-headed and studious man, a law
yer of good standing, and still, COM
paratively young. He goes TO the Sem
ate with a certainty that he will be
elected as long as he lives, and in that
way gives better promise of service
to the State than would General Grout,
his leading competitor, who is already
over 20 years of age, and, therefore,
would not naturally give the length of
service which will come from Mr.. Dill
bingham. This is no disparagement of
General CIRCUITS ability, for in the 20
years he has been in the House, he has
earned high position"
All OF which is absolutely correct,
except that General Grout is only in
his Goth year, and is ending only
eighteen years of service.

The Silver Republican Candidate.

Iu turning cold shoulder TO the Sill
Yer Republicans aud inviting them to
defend tbs Declaration of Iudepend-
ence and shout for his new paramount
issues, Mr.. Bryan ia taking big risk.
Not only is he sacrificing old supporters
in the hope of winning the Laodicesns
Of the East, but he ie swapping votes
for rainbows. Silver is the counter
sign OF his mIuy-U amed army. 1t has
given the enthusiasm aud the passion
of his previous campaigning. 1t is the
master spirit OF almost all his speeches
until within few weeks. 1t has earn
est and solid support among Demo-
cratic Populists and Silver Republi-
cans. 1t touches every mans pocket.
1t stirs and interests everybody.
Mr., Bryan's mania for silver is less
acute than his mania for the Presi-
dency. He has been persuaded or has
persuaded himself that the Gold Demo
Gratis can be bamboozed with trusts
and imperialism, and that there are
many Republicans who are willing tC
follow him so long as he makes those
issues protuberant and skates away
from silver. So he has come to New
York, and will come again, to thunder
against trusts, that is, corporations, il
the greatest business State; and agains
Imperialism, that is, expansion, in thu
greatest commercial State. While b,
is toying with imaginary issues in tn,
fruitless ope of carrying the East, b,
is disheartening his trustiest follower
in the West by his silence or his un
faithfulness to the one issue which
made him.
1t used to be thought that Mr.. Bryan
was sincere, an honest fanatic. TIL,
theory will not wash. Mr.. Bryan o
the fall of 1900 is only common office
seeker, whose speeches are adapted t
the latitude.-New York Sun.

A Memorial to Captain Clark.

The State Capitol to some extent is a
Valhalla of Green Mountain heroes
and greatness. The statue of Ethan
Allen, Vermont's legendary hero, inn
pressively salutes the visitor as he as
cends the steps of the portico of classic
design. The cannon, trophies of the
Bennington fight, which determined
the fate of Burgoyne's invading army,
tie guns of the Castillo, mementoes Of
the naval victory of Manila bay, fore
runner of Spain's complete humiliation,
tell of the valor and achievements of
Green Mountain Boys in the first and
last wars of the republic.
Within the Capitol's precincts the
clustered banners OF the Vermont regi-
ments, tattered and battle-stained, are
mutely eloquent testimonials of the
States heroic part in the war for the
preservation of the Union-and they
are all there. None was taken by the
enemy though they waved in every
action where the battle was hottest.
The painting by Scott perpetuates the
glory OF Clan Alpin's warriors of the
Old Brigade at Cedar Creek, around
whose serried ranks a panic-stricken
army rallied when Sheridan rode "from
Winchester down." In the Executive
Chamber, in marble bust and on the
painted canvas, are shown the men of
Vermont who in peace have had their
victories no less renowned than these
others in war.
1t is unique circumstance that land
locked and rock-ribbed Vermont con-
tributed to the navy of the Nation the
two men who will be imperishably as
ISOLATED with its most decisive and
most brilliant achievements on the
water in the late war with Spain. The
patriotic sons of Vermont, distributed
over the face of the earth, have under
taken to set up in the beautiful portico
of the Capitol, as companion statue
to Ethan Allen, fitting memorial of
Dewey. What figure shall Vermont
established in her Valhalla to perpet-
uate the name and achieveme nts
OF Clark, the hero of the Oregon's
memorable cruise, of the famous ships
decisive part in the battle of San
tiago de Cuba and the utter extinction
of the Spanish feet? Surely he has won
q place in the front rank of Vermont's
Immortals and the State will not tarry
to place him in fitting niche.
Answering this inquiry the JOURNAL
suggests that the General Assembly in
struct the Governor to request Captain
Clark to sit for a portrait, by painter
of competent skill, and that this memo

THE STRIKERS.

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, Oct. 23.-The
miners relief committee of this place
have issued circular letter asking
contributions to aid the striking miners
in this district. The committee asserts
that while it is hoped the strike will be
ended within few days this will not
materially change the deplorable con-
dition of the miners. 1t will be at
least four weeks before those returning
to work will receive any pay and their
families must be cared for during the
interval. The committee will not be
connected in any way with the Un tied
Mine Workers ass ociation.

To Save the Country,

The Bennington Banner severely and
truthfully remarks:
San urgent appeal of the Vermont
DemocIauc State committee, with a
'coin receptacle attachment, should
call in quantity OF Uncle Sam's SUP
sidiary silver. The Democracy is in
much more dire need than they repre-
sent the country to be in because of
Republican ascendency. The Democ-
racy hat has stood for all that is bad in
governmental policy continues consist
ent when it says In this circular, The
very foundations of our Republic are
assailed by the policy pursued by the Re-
publican Party Ii the Democrats had
had their way there would have been
no republic here today to be assailed
by anyone"

The total electoral vote is 447. A
majority is 224. The estimate of 2S4
votes for Mckinley, with possible adj
dition of 27-and these estimates are

reasonable assurance of Republican
victory of really imperial dimensions.

magnificent sweep towards Republi-
canism with big Rand towards ma

Some of the Signs of the Times.

Trustworthy observers of the can
vass in New York give cheering pic
ture of the outlook in that State. The
Republicans, it is said, will carry the
election by more than 100000 majority.
No backsliders from the party have
been discovered with the exception of
few disappointed office seekers,
whose fear of imperialism only became
acute with their failure to secure polit
ical jobs. The spectre Of imperialism
did not alarm them then, and the
republic has only become endangered
since their failure to secure office.
Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth, commander
in.chief of the Union Veterans Union,
has issued an official letter to the Vet
Grams pointing out that it is to their
advantage to support President Nc
Kinley.
This is the way the campaign in
West Virginia strikes an intelligent
farmer of that State, recently visitor
in Washington: 81 am only farmer,
but l have followed the campaign in
my State very closely, and l believe
that when the votes are counted, West
Virginia will give Mckinley and Roose-
welt between $4,000 and 10000 major.
ity, and that Senator Elkins will be re-
elected"
Secretary Root has promised to make
speech at big Republican meeting
in Youngstown, Ohio, next Thursday,
the only speech he intends to make
during the campaign.
That the Bryanites are not honest in
their claims of confidence is fully
shown by their failure to accept the
enormous amount of money that is be-
ing offered on Mckinley and Roose-
velt's election, at odds as great as five
to one. The progress Of the campaign
has been shown by the growth of the
betting odds which started at two to
one, and have now reached five to one,
and the outcome is indicated by the
fact that there we're more takers of the
smaller odds. In the beginning some
Bryanites had enough confidence in
their winning to put up some money at
odds of two to one, but today, when the
odds are more than double those fig
ures, there is hardly wager being
made.
Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior
department, who has been carefully
studying the political situation, says he
regards the Presidents reelection by a
majority larger than he received four
years ago, is now absolutely assured,
and that Mr.. Bryan's visit to New York
did the Republicans more good by
showing how thoroughly he was con-
trolled by Tammany, which is one of
the largest trusts in the country. OF
the outlook in Missouri, his own State,
Mr.. Hitchcock said: "From all that 1
can understand, the Gold Democrats will
ignore Organism and vote the Republi-
can ticket. We will certainly gain one
Representative from Missouri, and pos
sibly two--that is, if the people are al
lowed TO vote the Republican ticket, for
you know, law was passed in Missouri
last year, similar to the Goebel law in
Kentucky, and it will not be the fault
of the Democratic election officials, il

During the recent coal troubles,
which, by the way, are not entirely adj
justed, it is estimated that the total loss
of wages is S6,OOO,0O0; to operators,
$12,O00,000; to railroads, $S,00O000.
The price OF coal has gone up from
So. 80 to 81 per ton, and the loss to the
general public has been great The
settlement Of the strike was brought
about chiefly by the pressure brought
to bear on the operators by the
railway managers and leading poll
ticians of the country.

To Expedite Legislation.

With today, the actual legislative Ia
bors of the session of 1900 may be said
to actually begin. The extra-legisla-
tive work has been very largely dis
posed Of by the joint assembly cleo
tons, and the questions which have
prevented application to routine duties
no longer exist. The people, there
fore, have a right to expect diligence
and the manifestation of proper COM
prehension of the value of their time.
The DAILY JOURNAL has no sympathy
however, with the usual parrot-like re-
iteration of "hurry up and get through
and go home" People and newspa-
pers at distance and therefore with
no clear view of the necessities Of the
case-and also with no regard for them
raise and maintain this cry, with the
apparently vague idea that in 80 doing
they are bearing down nightly on the
lever Of progress and in some indistinct
way are indicating large abstract pat
riotism. This is very much likeltrying
to hurry up the stunning" Of case:of
fever by the aid of brass band and the
turning on of garden hose. The con.
tinued pow-wow and ghost dancing
around the legislative patient is much
more likely to produce miscar-
riage of duty than healthy deliver
ance.
The several committees, being con-
stituted of men of excellent judgment
and presumably quick discernment,
should not allow evident rubbish to
cumber their tables or TO engage their
attention any longer than is sufficient to
demonstrate beyond question their ir-
remediable worthlessness. They should
keep the decks cleared, as far as pos
sible, and devote their attention and
time to those subjects which may be
made Of benefit to the people. The
hours during which the houses are in
session is no criterion of their value or
usefulness to the State, but committee
work is everything. A daily session of
twenty minutes would be time enough
in which to introduce all the bills
which the people or the public good
demand.
Therefore, diligence may not nee
essarily consist in long sessions. The
best and quite the most important work
is done in committee. In committee is
the place where time can be saved. 1t
is deplorable fact that a large major
ity of the bills introducedlare utterly
unfit, in spirit and in letter, to become
laws.
The hours during which the houses
are in session are flied with the intro
duction of bills, and arguments over
their disposition. Many of the bills,
as has been said, are worse than use
less, and any and all discussion of them
is 80 much time wasted. In practical
ly every instance-except in the rare
cases in which a committee majority is
publicly known to be adverse to a
measure which has many supporters
the report of committee may be
taken as conclusive and should be ac-
cepted by the Senate or House. In
theory committee has the confidence
of the body of which it is constituent
part. If it has that confidence in fact,
its findings with respect to measure
referred to it, should be accepted as de-
Gliding the merits of that measure.
Other wise measure might as well be
submitted to committee of the whole,

Saturday removes most respectable
man of letters and one of conspicuous
ability in many paths of literary effort.
AS author, essayes, poet and editor,
his was an extraordinary personality
without being superlative in any par.

much work carefully and creditably
done and will live in history as one of
the prominent literateurs of the gener-
