Terrible Agony TINT MAY Lead 10 Sndden
Death.
rheumatism causes the most acute
and terrible agony. Local applications
alone are worse than useless-they are
dangerous. They may afford tempo
rary relief. They may drive the dis
ease deeper, to more vital part-to the
heart-and death, swift and sure, is the
result. The pain is but the warning,
the danger signal telling the sufferer to
at once drive from his system the deadly
uric acid that causes it The cure for
rheumatism is the remedy that will
drive out uric acid. Calcura Solvent,
the new medicine discovered in 1898 by
David Kennedy, PLY stefan and Surgeon,
OF Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y, will
do that. Not only that, but what is
more important, it will correct the NOR

For forty years DR.. Kennedy has been

VERMONT DEMOCRATS In 1858.

At the Democratic State Convention
held at Montpelier in 1858, the chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions,
the late John G. Sake, presented the
following ringing resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That in opposing the
narrow and timid policy which, had
it prevailed, would have limited the
United States of America to the ter
ritory of Massachusetts, Connecticut
and the Providence Plantations the
Democratic party has wisely favored
the enlargement of the domain of
freedom; and that we are in favor of
the acquisition of any territory on
this continent or the islands adjacent
thereto, whenever it can be done con-
sistently with the rights of other ma
tions and the honor of our own.'
This does not remind one very forci-
bly, of contemporary Democratic reso-
lutions. But, as the New York Sun
says, IF there are any Democrats in
Vermont to-day who had rather see
the present narrow and timid policy
prevail, they are forty-seven years be-
bind their grandfathers, the Vermont
Democrats of 1853"

done without funds. The very steam
ship companies could not be per-
suaded to bring their cargoes without
pay, nor could they load them with
grain unless the provision merchants
were paid at the wharfs. To have the
Americans in charge meant that grain
would arrive; that meats would be
brought down well cooled in ice chests;
that canned goods would be plentiful,
and that teas and spices and all the
luxuries so craved by the Cuban pal
ate would be forthcoming. Owing to
it's long siege the island itself was
barren, scarcely enough being raised to
sustain the planter upon his own farm;
and nothing at all for the cities.
1t was therefore finally decided to
retain the American troops on the ISL
and for time, and General Wood was
selected as Military Governor. Under
his wise administration the roads have
been restored, cities drained, houses
painted, streets paved, rapid transit in
troduced, and law and order secured.
The people are now happy and COM
Portable, and the time for the with
drawal of the Americans has therefore
been set. BY January next the entire
plan formulated at the close of the
Spanish War will have been carried
out. The plan included, first, the talk
ing of a census; second, the adoption
of municipal elections; third, consti-
tutional convention; fourth, the adop-
tion of suitable form of government,
and, finally, the withdrawal of the
| American troops.

NEW YORK COUNTRY TOWNS WAX
ING UP.

The country towns in New York are
beginning to be heard from. The Re-
publican electors of the town of Kirk
land assembled in caucus one evening
recently, and the meeting was large,
enthusiastic and harmonious. After
the election of delegates to the county
convention, the following resolution,
which may be considered typical of the
prevailing sentiment among New York
State Republicans, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Republicans
of the town of Kirkland, in caucus as
sembled, hereby declare our unquali-
fed endorsement of the platform of
the Grand Old Party as adopted at
Philadelphia; every plank of which is
solid and staunch enough to support
every loyal and patriotic American
citizen. We, with the same unanimity
as did the delegates at that convention,
ratify the choice there made of our
standard bearers during the coming
campaign, William Mckinley and
Theodore Roosevelt, who as President
VI the Oliteu otatSs anu poNcihoh VI
the Empire State respectively have
demonstrated their efficient leadership,
in peace as statesmen, in war as sol
diers, contending ever for the honor of
the nation and the glory of the flag.
We also commend the skillful man
agement and performance of the duties
appertaining to his office as Secretary
of War, of Ilirkland's honored son,
Elihu Root, and believe and rest as
sured that with the helm of the ship
of state in such hands she will

American Occupation Will Probably Ter
inmate in January Next.
1t is now definitely understood that
the first Of January, 1901, will see the
end of the American occupation in
Cuba.
At first, when the war was conclud-
ed, it was thought desirable to have
the American troops remain upon the
island only to protect the Cubans from
the Spanish sympathizers who were
numersus enough to occasion some un-
pleasantness. There were retired
Spanish soldiers who were ready to
fight Cuban at sight; and there We're
grandees who showed signs of abus-
ing the Cubans who worked for them
and who were in no condition to de-
fend themselves.
Then came knowledge of the actual
state of the island Tales of how the
streets had not been cleaned for years
were told; there were whispered stories
of the awful sanitary condition of the
houses; and it gradually became evil
dent to the Government at Washing
ton that if the Americans were to leave
Cuba at that time it would be equiva-
lent to an act of cruelty and barbarism
toward the weakened and impover-
ished Cubans, who, headed by Gomez
himself, implored the Americans not
to desert them in their distress.
An American protectorate, at that
time, meant much. First of all. it
meant money. for nothing could be

son the question Of expansion" he
said, 1--WE will divide the Democrats.
The issues will be along the lines of
sound money and good times, but
there is q percentage of Democrats
who will vote for us on all these three
issues. 1 think that our people can
be generally said to be in favor of
expansion"
AS Senator EllSins was Secretary of
War under President Harrison, and
made military matters a study, he
was asked: Are the Democrats us
ing the scare of militarism down your
way?"
81 suppose they will try it, but 1t
ought not to work among sensible
folks. Militarism? Why, that is
favorite cry. All the leaders who
have had anything to do with armies
or war have been charged with mill
tarsm. The scare was used in the
times of Lincoln and Grant. But the
armies of the civil war We're quietly
dispersed and the bugaboo of militia
rism was then dissipated. Lincoln
was called a tyrant and Grant was
termed q butcher when they We're
fighting to preserve the Government
under which the Democrats live. Look
back over the files of the newspapers
that were printed in those days, and
they fairly team with the charge that
the President was leading us directly
to a state of oppression under military
seryitude. But there has been no such
condition in this country vet, and
there never will be so long as the
Republican party shall live. There
is no danger of our having q large
standing army. 1t is contrary to the
genius of this Republic. We don't
need it, we don't want it, and, what
is more, the people will refuse to be
taxed to support it,"
How about the canteen question: y
he was asked.
That will peter out. 1t is not an
| issue 1t cannot endure. The Presi-
dent has followed the advice of the
senior officers in the army, Democrats
as well as Republicans, that the can
teen was, ON the whole, the best thing
for the army. OF course, he might
have ruthlessly ordered it abolished
but that would be a crazy thing to
do, in the face of the deliberate judg
ment of the officers; and, mind you
these officers are not in politics. YOU
remember when ! was Secretary OF
War 1 tried to abolish the name OF
canteen which has become odious tt
some people, and to establish clubs
for the exchange Of opinion, as wei
as the distribution of beer. But there
will always be a difference of opinion
on the drinking question. They viii
not keep the canteen question in poll
tics long. No more do expect they
will raise the high license question

WHY COMPLAIN OF PROSPERITY 2
Ex-senator Green Answers Some objec-
tions of Laborine Men.

iiOhs VI AsAput1HE mens
Hon. John 2. Green. formerly a
State Senator of Ohio, has been sur
veying the situation at Cleveland, and
has held numerous conferences with
laboring men. He finds that .'the bur-
den of their contention. summed up
i'll single paragraph" is as follows.
I'VE admit that the times are pros
perous;, that the furnaces, mills, foun-
dries and factories are all active; there
is no doubt but that mechanics and
even laborers find all the work they
can do; and that the farmers, miners
and others. keep the railroads and
ships busy beyond their capacity; but
| was paid by my employer i'll 1896
dollar and half per day; now get
dollar and seventy-five cents per
day, while most of the necessaries of
life have increased in price in q
greater ratio than have my wages.
Wherein, then, am benefited? Is it not
true that the profits go principally in
TO the pockets of my employers, who,
alone, reap the advantage of pros
perity'?"
GREEN'S answer to it is in these words:
THE Republican party, in 1896,
promised in its platform and out of
the mouths of its standard bearers
and 'spellbinders,' amongst other
things, to increase the volume of bust
ness; to maintain at parity, in cir
culation, silver and gold; to protect
our industries against unequal and
destructive foreign competition; and,
in the language of Mr.. Mckinley, in
some of his front porch speeches. to
put OH the pay roll the names of the
many thousands who were unemploy-
ed, without means for the support of
themselves and families and in some
instances. existing through public
charity or else hungry and almost
naked
''rhat the volume of business has
been increased they do not deny.
that the parity of the precious metals
has been sustained is patent to all
the world, and is made doubly sure
by the Currency law enacted by the
present Congress; and that the names
of the army of unemployed (eyen that
one which, under Coxey. camped at
the nations capitaD have been placed
on the pay roll, is easily attested by
the absence of the groups of idlers
from conspicuous public places where
they were wont to be found under the
last Democratic administration.
"The Dingley Tariff law is in evil
dence to prove our fidelity to the
pledge made to protect our industrial
interests. Now, what moral or other
right have these wage earners to COM
plain? Do they expect the Congress
or the President of this prosperous
nation to go down into the marts of
trade and workshops and fix the
wage scale between employer and en-
ploye? This would be demanding of
them an impossibility, and no man OF
average intelligence could entertain
such an idea for a single moment"
