A PRETTY SOCIAL EVENT,

The last session, for the season, of the Ell
more dancing club was held Friday even
ing in Elmore's hall and was one Of the
most enjoyable social events OF the season.
The Montpelier orchestra furnished the
music and in its accustomed style left moth
ing to be desired in that line.
Some eighteen couples attended. The
floor managers were George Elmore, O. e.
Moulton and j. G. Brown. The ladies
committee, comprising r. q. Bowers, G. B..
Walton, G. X. Putnam, Mrs. f. M. Ken
dali, Mrs f. w. Morse and Mrs. s. A.
Moss, were assisted by Mrs A. w. Ferrin,
whose efforts added most materially to the
success OF the event. The committee en-
gagged Mrs. John Miller as caterer, who
prepared delicate and appetizing menu.
The tables were decorated with profusion
OF English violets.
One Of the most pleasing features of the
affair was the punch bowl located in one
corner of the dancing hall with each glass
OF which was served an olive and cherry
placed upon the end Of tooth-pick.
The order OF dances were very dainty.
The first page Of the cover was decorated
with spray Of violets and the name OF
each member OF the club was written upon
his order. The affair was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present and it was with regret
that the session was brought to close.

Honor to Whom Honor,

The strength Of General Grout is seen to
be such that the only possible hope of his
defeat lies in the desperate attempt to
unite every element Of opposition and the
cohesion of every mutually antagonistic
faction in united effort to pull him down.
This dog-in-the.manger course is indicated
by Mr.. Dillingham's chief newspaper organ
at Montpelier, which is evidently feeling
the way to a unifcstion OF all the sour
grapes odds and ends on the venerable SEN
ator Ross. This will be most statesman
like and thrilling platform Of political duty,
will 1t 9-Springfeld Reporter
The JOURNAL would not, if it could,
deny the subsidized newspapers the
satisfaction they seem to derive from
contemplating "the strength of Gen
eral Grout," or in regarding the for
lornness of the hope his opponents
have Of defeating him. If their pa
tron's strength is 30 massive, so inn
pregnable, why this hysteria over q

Hard Sense on Current Affairs.

"You are right in the position you
have taken" Tin the late Porto Rican
matter) writes prominent Republican
in private letter to the editor Of the
JOURNAL. 81 read all the testimony
taken by the Senate committee, cover
ing between 200 and 300 printed
pages" he continues, "before l made
up my mind" The writer is entirely
competent and is in position to judge
wisely in this or any other public mat
ter, and is high in the public conf
dence. Referring to conditions exist
ing in the late Spanish possessions and
to the "wild tongues" the Democrats
and the "lesser breeds" of anti-imperi-
alism have loosened about "the consent
of the governed" ETC., etc., he writes:
think it is wise to go slowly in legis-
lating for these races trained for three centu-
ries in the school OF Charles the Fifth and
Phillip the Second. Their ideas of "gov-
eminent by the people" are entirely OBJ
scured. 1t is the grossest error, and a far
reaching fundamental error, to compare
them in capacity of self-government with
our Revolutionary fathers, who through
their ancestors had been in training for 800
years in the elementary principles of gov
eminent by the people, to wit, religious
liberty and representation in taxation
They must be educated before they can
properly use the underlying principles of
our Constitution. Many think and main
tain that all people are at once capable of
self.government. The sooner our people
are dlsabused OF that idea the better it will
be, and the juster will be their views of the
Porto Rican measure. Besides it is the first
step in legislating for this class and the
Republicans cannot afford to make mis-
take.
Again, onr we'll paid laborers and our
protected industries cannot be at once given
over to their cheap labor. The sugar pro-
ducers can produce pound of sugar for
about one.half or two-thirds what it costs
our beet sugar industry. which the Republic
can party has been trying to build up, and
II this industry is to be brought in free
trade competition with this cheap labor in
Porto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba, the
large sums invested in 1t will be destroy
ed In time the price of labor in these
islands will increase. Then, very likely,
sugar can be produced there benefcially to
the entire nation. The beet sugar industry
here by that time will become established
or be found to be unremunerative. / am
sure our laborers, il they understand it, and
our protected industries do not wish, at
present, to be brought in competition with
the cheap labor and fertile lands of the
| islands.

SUNDAY Disturbance

Every one was sorry for those people
in church last Sunday who were suffer-
ing with distressing cough. A full
dose of Downs Elixir on going to bed
at night and small doses during the
day will cure the most severe cough.
Whenever there is tickling sensation
in the throat take few drops of the
Elixir on the tongue and let it run
slowly down the throat, and immediate
relief will follow. We, the undersign-
ed, druggists, agree to refund the
money if it does not cure any cough
cold, whooping cough, or throat trouble.

vice in the upper house of Congress?
Is their almoner's strength" 30 much
q matter of weakness that they cannot
do justice to another servant of Yer
mont for fear of topping over their
Colossus9 Are they piqued by the cir
cumstance that in single session of
Congress, of which he had been MEM
Der scarce twelve month, "the ven
edable Senotor Ross" had achieved
greater distinction for himself and his
State than had the venerable General
Grout in some eighteen years of habi-
tation of the halls of national legisla-
ton?
The JOURNAL has been able to make
such reference to Senator Ross pub
lie services as seemed due to their mer-
it and importance, with no fear before
its eyes of in any way prejudicing Mr..
Dillingham's candidacy. In the pow
erty of their reasons why General
Grout should be promoted to the sena-
torship, and in their growing nervous
ness over the prospects of the candidate
whose cause they have espoused, it has
pleased the Grout editors to miscon-
strue acts of simple justice to the
States junior Senator. The JOURNAL
believes Senator Ross is right in the
views he has expressed on great con-
stitutional question. That view is as
old as the foundations of the republic
In theory and practice it has been re-
affirmed at every period of territorial
expansion. 1t had slept and slumbered
for nearly half century. In a great
public emergency, demanding its reas
sertion, Senator Ross touched it, and il
awoke. The truth emblazoned on the
banner of the Republican party in the
year of its birth was rewritten there il
the year of its ripened manhood, ant
the party is girding on its armor to de
bate for this truth once more. Sena
tor Ross act was timely and meritori
Gus. He added to the States fame ant
prestige in the national councils. Th'
JOURNAL said 80. The JOURNAL hal
approved Senator Ross votes on i'm
portant occasions like the ratification
of the treaty with Spain and the pas
sage of the Porto Rican bill, and it ha
said so. Have the Grout organs beer
as candid? Or, we repeat, have the.
regarded approval of Ross, twelve
month old member of Congress, an i'm
parchment of Grout, veteran, all I'm
heralded of eighteen years?
The JOURNAL will be able, when th,
time comes, to give good and conclu
sive reasons why Dillingham; shall
be preferred to any other candidate
Meantime it is not deferred, by fear
apprehension, or any other considera
ton, from obeying the commandment
to render honor to whom honor ia due
