Big Registration Signifies McKinIey's
Reelection.

Sixteen thousand more electors quail
fed on the first two days of registration
this year than in the corresponding Pc
riod four years ago. The total increase
for the four days in 1896 over the regis
tration Of 1892 was only $4,000. AS
there are two more days on which
voters may qualify it is morally certain
that the total increase will be four or
five thousand greater than the increase
of 1896 over 1892. Growth in popula-
tiCn explains part Of this increase and
the interest of the voters in the result
explains the remainder. In 1896, 49,
900 more votes were poiled in Kings
county than in 1892, or an increase
equal to the increase in registration.
Mr.. Bryan received "a 900 fewer votes
than were polled for Grover Cleveland
and Mr.. Mckinley received $4,000 more
than Benjamin Harrison pollad, and
The county went Republican by $4,000.
The fact that the increased registra-
ton is more marked in the Republican
wards than in the Democratic wards
justifies the conclusion that there will
be heavy h publican vote. Aud the
increase in the Democratic wards war;
rants the opinion that the Democrats
intend voting too. The New York
Herald has been making canvass of
thu city by postal cards for the purpose
OF getting material for forecast, and
from the returns from four election
districts in this county 1t concludes
that McKiD,ey will receive a plurality
of "a 900 ere. Twenty election dis
t. lets in Manhattan were canvassed
and the returns show thst Bryan will
carry that borough by $4,000
But such differences as have been
drawn from the registration figures
and from the inadequate canvass OF the
city verify the general impression that
il Bryan has majority in the city of
New York it will be small one and
that cons quenlv the State will be car

But the Senator has written his name

or Blood.
Thirty Years of Cures to Its Credit
Trial Bottle Free.

Kidney diseases should be attended
to at once, for almost 80 per cent. of our
unexpected deaths of to-day are from
that cause. DR.. David Kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy is the only sure cure
known for diseases of the Kidneys,
Liver, Bladder and Blood, Rheuma-
tism, Dyspepsia and Chronic Constipa-
ton. 1t is marvellous how it stops that
pain in the back, relieves the necessity
of urinating so often at night, drives
away that scalding pain in passing
water, corrects the bad effects of
whiskey and beer and shows its bene-
fetal effects on the system in an in
credibly short time. 1t is sold by all
drug stores at $l00 bottle.
You can tell just as well as ply
stefan whether your Kidneys are dis
eased or healthy. Fill tumbler with
urine and let it stand "a hours if it has
a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy,
discolored or pale; if it is ropy or
stringy, your Kidneys and Bladder are
in dangerous condition and you do
not need physician to tell you so.

"He's better looking than all the rest of

at the opening Of the canvass, and GER
tainly there will be few senatori fig
ures equally impressive. But not only
in looks will the new Senator be
man for Vermonters to be prond of.
He has ability, knowledge of public
affairs and experience in their manage

that if road was finished off 20 look
we'll on top it made very little differ
ence whether or not it had bottom.
In the days not far distant in the past
the idea was to build road of any
kind of dirt with a scraper, "hog back"
it up nicely, dress it IF with hoes and
then DO the same thing over again al
ter the next winters frost had entirely
wrecked 1t. Now different ideas pre-
vail, different material is used--when
handy and not too expensive and if
there is sufficient time to obtain it
and road machines are generally used.
AS has been said, there has been dis
tinct and most gratifying advance in
road construction and maintenance in
Vermont, but we have only just begun
to head in the right direction. We
have discovered the mistakes of the
past, and the little work done in per-
manent improvement compares with
what should and sometime will be done
is, as a rule, well done. 1t also shows
at least u rudimentary knowledge OF
the correct principles Of road making.
We are at last started, and well started,
in the right way. But there are many
things yet 10 learn. There are many
Indifferent or poor roads waiting TO be
made into solid and permanent ones
by Al energetic application of the prin-
ciples of scientific road making. Every
neighborhood has plenty of the neces-
sary material. Farmers should give
the malter4he thought and study and
consideration which It's paramount i'm
portance to them and their interests de-
mands. They should procure reliable
literature on the subject, and carefully
tread up"
No other investment of given sum
Of money will give such returns by in-
creasing the value of real estate. A
most important point in the purchase
of farm is whether it is on "good
road" if it is readily and comfortably
accessible at all seasons. A good road to
or through farm is of more value TO
the property than the outlay of an
amount equal to the construc' ion Of a
permanent road, on the farm itself.
These facts are not understood as they
should be, apparently. If they were
the State, as represented by its legisla-
tors, would take more interest in the
matter. Instead of wasting time
which is money-on beavers and foxes
and the protection Of fish in Tickle
naked pond and attempts to disorganize
the courts for political purposes and to
make trouble between employers and
employees by "weskly payment BILL"
and thousand and one other matters
which, rs rule, are either mischievous
or silly, let the peoples representatives
mark distinct progress toward the per-
lection, as far ms possible, of the high
ways of their State.

immensity of the Bryan meeting in
that city Tuesday evening, where he
was the centerpiece OF the largest and
most costly exhibition ever given by
Croker. 1t is estimated that he did
not gain vote, and the probabilities
now are that Mckinley will carry the

and other writings, of Vermont people
and country,-of old New England, as

the forests as invaded by the destroy.
ers. Mr.. Robinson's "Danvis Folks"
"Uncle 'Lisha's Shop" "Sam Lovell's
Camps" etc., are books greatly priced
by those who know them; he had a
love for Nature and an eye and ear for
her lesser creatures that WAS like that
of Richard Jeffries or John Burroughs
and he had also as fine and generous a
human sympathy as one will often
find. No writer besides has done half
80 well with the French Canadians
character and his broken English as
Mr. Robinson did. The reader of the
books named, and of others, such as
"New England Fields and Woods
and "Uncle 'Lisha's Outing" grew
very near to the man, and found him
a rare and noble character. Mr.. Rob
inson was born at Ferrisburg, VT,
May ID 1888, and thus had entered up
on his 60 ID year. He married in 1870
Anna Stevens, who survives him.
Much of his writing was done for For
est aud Stream in the first place, and
his rare merits had scarcely begun 10
be known before his blindness came
on. For the last seven years Mr.. Rob
inson has been blir d, and he has done
much OF his best work in that time.
Besides the Nature books OF which
mention has been made, Mr.. Robin
son was author OF "a Hero of Ticon-
deroga," and Vermont: A. Study Of
Independence" IN the American Com
monwealths Series.

The results Of the elections of yes
terday will have the natural effect OF
giving a quietus to the various halcyon
and vociferous bills and other jobs de-
signed to disorganze the Supreme
Court, and the bench is very likely to
"stay put" as it is. The unanimous
reelection of the present judges, and
by Democratic help, would seem to
settle the question, il there has been
one, and to clear the air. Any inter-
ference with the side judges appears to
be unconstitutional, and this burning
biennial issue is thus given quietus.
Now let pot-house politics cease and the
reign Of common sense business be re-
sumed.
