Press Comment,

Did you ever run across one of
those great big ant hills as large as
a bushel-basket while strolling in the
country? If so, did you take a stick
and poke hole in it and watch the
swarms of ants that rush out to de-
fend and repair their home? Well,
it begins to look as if the "powers"
had stirred up an ant hill in China,
and the ants, some 300,000,OOO to
500, 100000 in numbers, are begin
ming to swarm forth. Still, as be-
tween the man and the ants the
man can ultimately overcome the in.

and the Chinese the powers can ulti-
mately overpower the Chinese

Gen circuit at Home and Abroad.

The Washington Evening Star recently
referred to Gen. William w. CIRCUITS re-
tirement from the House in appreciat1ve
words. 1t says" good friend OF the
| District will not return to the House" by
reason of such retirement. Continuing
the leading daily paper at the national
capital says: 1.-The news of Gen. CIRCUITS
retirement will be received with sincere
regret throughout the District of Col
umbia. For many years Gen. Grout has
been one of the best friends the District
possessed in Congress, and has shown
his friendliness in practical ways. AS
sometime chairman of the committee on
the District of Columbia, and more re-
Gently as chairman of the subcommittee
of the appropriations committee having
charge of the District appropriation bill,
Gen. Grout has been in positions to
render valuable service to this commu-
nifty.
His absence from the next Congress
will be regarded as loss to the House,
by his colleagues, by whom he was held
in high esteem and affection. He had a
wide acquaintance among public men,
and was one of the hardest workers in
behalf of his own constituents in the
lower chamber"
This shows the high standing OF Cen
eral Grout at the national capital. Can
it be that the people Of Vermont do not
hold him in the same "high esteem and
affection" his colleagues in the House"
and the people of Washington.
During the six months General Grout
was at his post working for the people of
Vermont-he did not leave until Con-
gress adjourned-the Dillingham; work
ers, OF which the state has been full,
have succeeded in carrying some of the
county conventions. But just wait un-
til the whole people, speak and if they
do not declare for him and his splendid
record our faith in them will have been
shaken seriously.
Let us wait until the thousands OF old
soldiers, whom General Grout has
assisted in one way or another, have a
chance to quietly speak at the polls, and
until the farmers of the state also, whose
interests he has always defended and
promoted, are heard from, at time
when they are all out and have chance
to vote their unbiased judgment. Then
If they desire to take new and untred
man instead of the one who has been
tried and found true, we will frankly ad-
NIT that some of the people of Vermont
are past finding out. The News has
faith in the judgment and sense of Yer
monters and confidently believes they
are not ready to send General Grout
into private life but will instead put him
into the United States senate Rutland

RooSevelt's Epigrams.

Governor Roosevelt, crossing Kansas

matte sentences:
Our Spanish war was lust a
little police work for the whole world

am just talking plain Americanism.
You can stop prosperity by legislation,
but you cannot do more by law for
prosperity than to give every American
chance to show his own thrift.
Kansas has written its name in letters
of gold across the face of the Philippines.
The American people rise and fall to-
gether; if one falls all fall, if one prospers
all prosper. For good or for evil we are
bound together for all time.
Fundamentally, you have got to have
the same qualities for success in public
lie as you have in private life.
Don't think because man is smart he
can prohtably be dishonest. An honest
but timid man is not much good, A

attended tea yesterday, given
in the Palace of Congresses by an
organization of French, American
and English educators. They all
hold professorships in colleges or
universities of their countries, and
have formed a kind of peripatetic
educational band or organization,
the object of which is to make the
Paris Exposition and future EXPOSE
tions more helpful to the visitor.
The plan is to help him see with
minimum expense oftime and money,
what is best worth seeing and to
protect him from what is worthless
and frivolous. This is done by
furnishing asguides, educated special
lists in the various classes covered
by the Exposition, The guides will
accompany groups of visitors who
will set out with defined objective
and thus avoid the waste of time
and the fatigue of aimless wandering
in a wilderness of exhibits, which
seen in this way are no more in
structive than shop windows. The
guides, who are experts in their
special classes and some OF them
famous will explain as they 60 in
familiar, untecbnical way.

would not be repeated in 1900 We
are glad to print this week an article
from the Fair Haven Era which is
somewhat of a reply to the Spring
field Republican article and which
gives assurance that Chairman Allen
will not fall behind the good work of
his predecessors in previous cam
paigns.
Vermont republicans are planning one
of the most vigorous political campaigns
ever seen in the state with the hope that
the high water mark of September, 1896
will be again reached il not exceeded,
that other republican states may be
stimulated and encouraged to follow the
example set by the Green Mountain
state.
THE leading republicans throughout
the state are taking an unusual interest
thus early in the campaign, protters of
assistance having already come from
those who have come to be recognized as
spelbinders in the political campaigns in
portance of the contest and the need of
persistent and continuous work from
the firing of the first gun to the opening
of the ballot boxes on election day. They
can be counted upon to do their share in
educating and enlighteuing the people,
but something more than this is needed.
In order that the largest vote possible
be got out it is necessary that every
citizen, who truly and firmly believes
that it is for the best interests of himself |
and his country that the republican adj
minstration be retained in power for
another four years, to not only cast his
own vote for the republican standard
bearers, but to see that all those whom
he can influence vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
"Fair Haven is this year the home of
the chairman of the republican state
Hon. Ira r. Allen, and the
town which has ever been loyal and
'teadfast to the republican party aud re-
publican principles, can be depended upon
% do its part in helping to roll up the
biggest majority ever recorded by the re-
lublicans of Vermont"

The dominant force in Vermont
politics today is the Rutland rail-
road. Its leader is that brilliant and
successful business man, Percy w.
Clement OF Rutland. 1t has named
governor; secured the nomination
OF a congressman and defeated the
most successful politician the state
has heretofore known, Gov. Page
and now bids fair to name the next
senator from Vermont. 1t is stated
on high authority that the differen-
ces between Senator Proctor and
Percy W. Clement have been settled
and an alliance formed. The work
