There was : r. large attendance
at the meeting Of West Randolph
grange Saturday evening to witness
the impressive ceremonies of installa-
ton of officers elect. a. a. Priest,
the retiring master, who has served
three years, acted as installing officer.
The officers were introduced by Miss
Name Connolly in most pleasing
manner. Speeches were made by Mr..
Priest and the new master, George G.
Flint, who celebrated his sixth we'd
ding anniversary at this time. 1t was
remembered by some of the patrons
that Jan. ID, 1894, George c. Flint
and Miss Nellie Lintield were married
at regular meeting Of the grange,
under its auspices. Miss Nora Con-
molly was appointed assistant lectur-
er. An excellent banquet was served
in honor Of the incoming officers.
Several more applications for men,
bership were accepted. This grange
isnow second in membership and in the
work in the state and at the rate it is
now growing, it bids fair to soon be
the banner grange in Vermont.

A special to the st. Adams Messen-
ger fsom Washington gives Senator
Ross views on the Philippine ques-
ton as follows: He is neither in favor
of Senator Beyerdge's idea of con-
quest, of glory, of untold wealth and
of paramount power in the East, nor
does he favor Senator II0ar's idea that
the Filipinos should Immediately be
given independence.
He thinks that we have assumed a
great responsibility to the inhabitants
of the islands, and that to give them
independence now would be to shirk
that responsibility and invite anarchy:
that good government is a complicat-
ed process and characteristic of high
civilizations; that it can be learned
only after long and patient training
and much experience; that the inhabi-
tants OF the Philippine islands, mix
ture of many races, oppressed, de-
ceived and ill-treated for 300 years by
Spain, are entirely incompetent to
govern themselves: that this nation
Should treat them as father treats
MS child, t. ching him the great les
sons of life by kindly example and
precept.
He THINKS that if this nation train
the ,i'ilipinos in the art of self-goyern-
ment, produces there an intelligent.
Christian people and develops them to
condition that will some day enable
them to take an honorable place
among the nations of the earth it will
be worth nanny times the cost.
Although Mr.. Ross thinks that our
first, and for time our only object IN
the PHILIPPINE Island should be hui
mantarian, yet he is not obvious to
the commercial advantages. He
tliilks ul.dt by as much as we establish |
peace there, as we train the inhabi

hdelty: as we educate them, teaching
them the art of government, the man.

trade by SO much will they react up

has gathered together and printed in

VERMONT POLITICAL news.
As Reflected by the Newspapers Of
the State.

Senatorial Politics in Woodstock.
(From the Woodstock Standard.)
| Our Jealous townsman, Charles O.
Thompson, did a short turn at street
cavassing recently, in order to con-
vince the Standard that Woodstock is
an anti-Grout town. OF about 60 vot-
ers whom he met ON the village side
walks and Intercepted as to their
first choice in the senatorial campaign,
safe two-thirds expressed their pref
ence for Dillingham;; and now, not
withstanding the doubtful character
of the ex parte canvass anyway, the
Dillingham; papers of the state are ex-
| plotting it as ga significant senatorial
straw;" this being the striking head
line given the item by the Burlington
Free Press, to which every trifle is
"signiticant if 1t but favors it's cam
didate no matter how feebly. AS i'll
ustrating the unreliability of street
indications the Standard recalls the
confidence of Mr.. Thompson and other
prominent village citizens in the last
congressional campaign that Judge
Read would carry Woodstock. But
when the voters came together for a
caucus ''whole lot" Of agricultural
citizens showed up and voted for "the
present incumbent" aud it became
evident that Woodstock was still a
Circuit town, to the great surprise of
MI. Thompson and others, including
one half of the Standards publishers.
But the last mentioned individual has
not forgotten the surprise nor the
source OF it; the farmers are still with
us. They are less vociferous than the
villagers, but they are quite as stead
fast and much more numerous at the
polls and in the legislature. 1t ap-
pears quite reasonable therefore to be-
lieve that Woodstock will line IN for
the same man at the next opportunity.
The Standard believes that it's atti-
tude on the senatorial question fairly
represents the majority view of it's
constituency. But that is less i'm
portant than that this paper should
consclentiously support it's own con.
vlctions. The Standard believes that.
barring extraordinary developments,
the senatorial prospects have mar
rowed down to two possibilities and
one probability. The possibilities.
then, are Gen. circuit and Hon. w. p.
Dillingham. While the Standard cor.
daily respects ex-Gov. Dillingham; as
a clean, whole-souled gentleman and
a capable man, it will support Gen.
circuit in this case, believing that he

THn FRACTION ENGINE.

A few days ago we watched a man
moving large building with trac-
ton engine, and 1t did the work in a
most satisfactory manner. We have
been Of the opinion for some time that
this useful and practical machine could
have its usefulness still further extend
ed In connection with improving the
highways. Given a gravel pit located
within, say, two or three miles of a
highway which needs a coat of gravel,
why could not good work be done with
such an engine hauling three or four
low built, wide tired truck wagons
holding about two yards of gravel
apiece? With a shift Of such trucks
and two or three men at the pit to load
them and a man or two to level off at
the terminus q long piece of good road
could be made every working day, the
travel of the engine and trucks over
the completed road operating to i'm
pact 1t as would a roller. Up to a dis
lance Of three miles we believe such a
method could be most economically
used and would like to seeit tried. The
trucks for carrying the gravel could
be built at small expense and be the
property OF the toMnship. X

OPINIONS DIFFER.

"It is the finest thing which ever
happened to the farmers Of the coun-
try" said granger few days since,
referring to a new rural mail route
which had been established in his
neighborhood. 'It is one of the worst
things which ever happened to the
country merchant" said the proprietor
Of general store in town Of 1000
people, also referring to the new mail
route. The farmer claimed that he
was at last brought into daily contact
with the busy old world which lay out
side the boundary lines of his farm,
that he could now take daily paper,
keep better posted on the markets and
be relieved of the necessity of going or
sending to town SO frequently. The
storekeeper claimed that as result of
the establishment of the new mail
route the farmer would buy less at
home and more away from home, and
he was warmly Endorsed by the restau-
rant man WHO furnished the farmer
his lunch, the liveryman who stabbed
his team and the saloon keeper who
sold him too often more beer than was
good for him. All the same, the rural
mail route has come to stay, and the
merchant, the restaurant man, the liv-
eryman and the saloon keeper will
have to adjust their business to it as a
long needed and progressive step in
the agricultural development of the
country
