Ross county Senator" St. Johnsbury
should do right. Its good citizens
ought to be in the majority, and the
majority ought to act in the light of
the existing facts and circumstances of
the political situation-not of pre-
existing condition created by "the per-
nicious activity" of an aspirant to the
senatorship-and let the consequences
take care of themselves. If the rest of
the county prefers to abide in it's bonds,
that is not st. Johnsbury's lookout.
Her example may bring the twenty-five
other delegates needed to nominate
senatorial candidates holding views in
accordance with every dictate of right
and reason an existing state of things
enforces. Apparently this is what the
Grout contingent fears and desperate
efforts are making to hold the town to
Grout.
G. F. Smith of Morrisville Is out in
an apologize letter in the Neos and
Citizen. Mr.. Smith wants to be Sena-
tor from Lamoille county. He has evil
IDENTIFY been committed to General
Grout. To justify himself and give his
position an odor of reason and sanctity,
he falls back on the old IRONY reputa-
ton of General Grout as an oleomarga-
rine statesman, and on this ground APP
peals to the farmers for their support.
General CIRCUITS right to any decisive
degree of credit for any national legis-
lation that has been enacted regarding
oleomargarine and the protection of
the farmers from the counterfeit has
been 80 often set forth, it is marvel
that any person can be found to swal
low the rancid stuff that is being re-
vamped in the likeness of the real but
ter of the truth regarding his part in
securing this legislation. In this con-
nection it is worthy of note that the
House committee at Washington has
dropped the Grout oleomargarine bill
and reported substitute measure. The
need of General CIRCUITS presence in
either branch Of Congress to secure
the enactment of effective and consti-
tutional laws on the subject of oleomar-
garine was never apparent, and is less
clear than ever at the present time.
The oleo argument is itself oleomarga-
rine, and ought to be 30 labeled.

Hysterical Demonstrations,

According to the reports from Eng
land "the tumult and the shouting"
there over the relief of Mafeking were
greater than the demonstrations on that
memorable Fourth of July in the six
ties when the news came, on the self
same day, of the surrender of Vcks-
burg and the repulse of Lee at Gettys-
burg, or of those later days in April
when Richmond was evacuated and
the end of the war of the rebellion
came at Appomattox, or those events
of the next generation in Manila Bay
and off Santiago de Cuba.
Yet Mafeking was small town on
the frontier, held by handful of men,
of no military value or importance, and
it's relief only signified that some hun
dreds of very hungry people and the
places plucky defenders had had their
stock of provisions replenished, or we're
relieved from the further necessity of
guarding against the assaults of the en-
vlroning Beers or lodging the missiles
sent into the town.
The American events which called
forth ecstatic public rejoicings and
tumultuous demonstrations were, far
and away, in another class from the
most important and thrilling of the oc-
currences in this South African war.
The British public ia simply hysterical.
Its manifestations are out of all proper
ton to the magnitude of the affairs that
sent the populace into tremendous
spasms. Its doings have more the APP
pearance of bravsdo, of the galvanic
eruptions of men seeking to silence a
guilty conscience rather than express
ing the devout thanksgivings that
spring from hearts conscious of the
innate righteousness of their cause.

The Punishments.

The punishments imposed at Rut-
land, IN the cases of the defaulting
bank officials, seem to. many people
rather compliment to the eloquence
of their attorneys than a proper and
discriminating administration of justice
by the court. One had wrecked a
bank, his recreancy to his trust cover
ing some $3.50, 900, more or less. The
other had used in speculation some
$4,000 of the funds of the bank in
which he had been an employe. The
former is sentenced to seven years of
leisure in the House of Correction at
Rutland, the other to six years Of SIM
liar life in tie same institution. One is a
defaulter in some four or five times the
amount of the latter, but his punish
ment is only one year more of confne-
ment with immunity from labor.
For their offences the State is
charged with the expense of maintain
ing these men in idleness for the peri
DDS of six and seven years respectively,
approximately the minimum penalty
for their crimes. The ministrations of
friends will help to render the time q
period of "elegant leisure" While the
persons whose money these men used
as if it were their own are plodding
along to earn their daily bread and re
cover their losses, the despoilers are
supported in idleness, and the people
they despoiled help pay the bills. In a
State court, remarked person familiar
with the course of legal and criminal
affairs, apropos of the sentences Of
Judge Wheeler, person convicted Of
stealing a ring-boned and spawned
horse, having value of not over fifty
dollars, would get five years in States
prison at hardtlabor. 'Do the judges
think that ten years, or even fifteen,
would be too long for officials at the
head of financial institutions who treat
other peoples money as if it were their
own?" pertinently asks an exchange.
Sympathy for the friends and rela-
tives of the offending men is very
deep. Their suffering is the pitiable
phase in the tragedy on which the cur
tain recently descended at Rutland.
For their sakes the public would will
lingly have the offenders absolved and
restored to the paths of free and hon
orable life. But the moral is clear.
1t has been enforced thousand times,
30 often as person falls from virtue.
The impression is prevalent that it's
enforcement in the cases in question
has not been 80 impressive as ade-
quately to serve the deterrent aim of
legal penalties in protecting the pub
lie from the abusesof important trusts.

Kentucky's Crime.

Justice is sometimes outraged by
judge or jury, when guilty man is
suffered to escape punishment or pun
ished with penalty that is inadequate
to the offense. There is often no help
in such cases, except in public criti-
cism, which may have wholesome
effect in preventing future miscarriages
in the administration of justice.
The Legislature of Kentucky COM
mitted a grave political crime in de-
claring that the candidates for State
offices in the last election who were in
minority of several thousand votes
were elected, and that the candidates
who had a plurality of votes were not
elected. This course has been reviewed
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, and that body has declared that
it is without jurisdiction in the case,
and is therefore powerless to right the
wrong the Legislature has done.
William S. Taylor was elected Gov
ernor of Kentucky by plurality of
more than three thousand votes, as the
State canvassing board, made up of his
political enemies, found. He was
given the boards certificate of election,
sworn into Office, and administered it's
duties for several weeks. The Legis-
lature, by turning out members who
had been lawfully elected and seating
men who had not been chosen, created
a majority politically an personally OPP
posed to Governor Taylor, and that
body then contaminated its high hand
ed purpose to reverse the fundamental
principle Of republican form Of gov
eminent, and pronounce the minority
candidates the men lawfully chosen to
the chief State offices.
Under the law of the State of Ken
lucky the Legislature had the power to
commit this crime. The criminal intent
was present, and the crime was COM
mitted, and the United States is power
less, its supreme tribunal says, in such
case to guarantee the people of Ken.
lucky republican form Of government
The remedy must therefore be applied
by the people of Kentucky, in the cleo
ton Of Legislature pledged and com
manded to repeal this odious law. The
crime of the Legislature, whose acts
may not be punished or annulled, may

answer would go up from thousands,
at is ex-Gov. Dillingham;"
Mr.. Dillingham; is at the point in life
where he can make the best use of his
natural qualities and his valuable ex-
perience. He is a born gentleman,
with grace of manner rarely seen. AS
a public speaker, all will admit that
he is by far the superior OF any of the
other candidates, and the effectiveness
of his utterances comes not 30 much be-
cause of his powers of oratory, though
they are considerable, as it does from
the clearness with which he sets forth
positions that are almost invariably
right. No one who has frequently
heard him on the platform can fail to
see that his craftsmanship is of high
order, his knowledge broad and deep,
his judgment clear and comprehensive.
AS the people become more and more
interested, we look for sentiment and
a support for Dillingham; that will rem

The United States SenatOrship.

Week by week the contest for the
United States senatorship thickens.
The region of greatest immediate ag-
itation is Caledonia county, centering
at St. Johnsbury. The Caledonian,
freed from bonds, clothed and in it's
right mind, would naturally support
Judge Ross, and seems to be feeling
uncomfortably because Of the Grout pre-
emption OF its columns before the judge
became senatorial possibility. If the
canvass were beginning anew, and on
it's merits, it seems to be clear the con-
temporary's voice would be for Ross.
The paper is trying to argue itself into
resignation to it's letters by supposing
that, even if "St. Johnsbury should

to the danger the existence of such a

cratic citizens condemn the advantage
the Legislature has taken OF The Goebel
