The Quadrennial conference of the Meth
odlst Episcopal church, which closed at
Chicago Monday, refused, after a warm
debate, to criticise the attitude of Presi-
dent Mckinley on the anti-canteen law by
striking out, by an overwhelming vote, all
reference TO any action on his part or that
Of Attorney General Griggs.
The Pittsburg Coal company, new Jer-
sey corporation with capital stock of $780,
100000, has been refused a charter to do
business in Ohio because one of the arti-
cles of the corporation provides that it may
purchase, deal in and hold the stocks OF
other corporations, meaning, of course,
that it may establish coal trust.
Senator Hanna will not resign the chair
manship of the Republican national com
mittee. The statement, circulated last
week, that he meant to resign, he says was
unulhorized, and if his health continues
to improve he will crafty his wish to take
charge of the campaign for President Nc
Kinley's reelection. This, he says, is in
accordance with the desire of the Presi-
dent, who has said that he will exercise his
influence TO retain Mr.. Hanna's services.
Former Governor Taylor of Kentucky
is being urged to run again as candidate
for governor in that state. He is now in
Indiana, and while he is anxious TO enter
the race he is afraid that his enemies would
arrest him and deny him bail if he should
enter the state to make campaign. 1t is
not improbable that he may establish head
quarters in Indiana and direct the cam
paign from there without making per
sonal canvass.
The Vergennes Vermonter, which shorl

paper union, and have consisted en-
lirely of plate matter. Hereafter the en-
lire paper will be printed at home. In
Fermonter is to be commended for its ct
forts for increased usefulness, and It's eli
entage will doubtless appreciate the move
ment.

Csnte.n Temperance Measure.

In connection with the attacks upon
President Mckinley because of his stand
upon the army canteen question the views
of Gen. Corbin, who regards the canteen
as temperance measure, are interesting.
at can be stated as fact" he says, THAT
the effect of closing the canteen section of
the post exchange would be to have such
soldiers as are now content with drinking
an occasional glass of beer within the limits
of the post 90 to the whiskey shops and
dens of vice that once surrounded per
manent posts, and which on the passage
of such law would revive" Is it, then,
not more sensible to accept the best attain
able than to blame President Mckinley
for not achieving impossibiities? Is 1t
not better for everybody, the soldier
principally, that the canteen should be
continued as a compromise measure, a
something to be endured that worse may
be escaped?

The plans have been very nearly perfect
ed for the visit of 1850 teachers in the pub
lie schools of Cuba to the United States
this summer, when they are to be enrolled
in the Harvard summer school. The war
department will send five transports to
bring the visitors to this country, and they
will be taken back to Cuba in the same
way. During their stay in Cambridge the
Cubans will be the guests of Harvard I'M
iversity; and the university will share the
duties of host with some of the public
spirited citizens of Cambridge, who have
accepted President Eliot's invitation to re-
ceive the visitors as their guests. The
war department is warmly seconding the
plan of the university. Secretary of War
Roo, in letter TO President Eliot, com
mends in the highest terms Harvard's prof.
ect to bring the educational forces of Cuba
into closer touch and nearer sympathy with
American ideals of education and Ameri-
can conceptions of the duties of teacher.
The visiting teachers will be selected from
the schools in all parts of the island, the
purpose being to distribute as widely as
possible the educational impetus thus to be
derived

What Standard Authority Says of a
staple Vermont Remedy.

The Southern Trade Record OF Cincinnati, Ohio,
has recently published an answer TO the enquiries
of many liverymen and other horse answers as
to the best horse rniment made. The Record
says:
After a careful and exhaustive investigation Of
all the leading horse liniments, the result was
unanimously in favor of Kendall's SPAWN ure,
made by The DR.. b. j Kendall Company of Enos-
burg, Falls, Vermont. This cure is undoubtedly
the most successful remedy ever discovered, as II
is certain in its effects and does not blister II
cures Splints, Spavins, Cuts, Calls, Sprains, etc.
The DR.. b. j. Kendall Company can show hun
dreds OF testimonials from leading horse owners,
stating that after trying all other remedies the
only reliable and best was kendal's SPAWN Cure
Those who have made inquiries on this subject
may estee IN this our reply, and We would suggest
that an inquiry directed TO the above named firm
would doubtless elicit information out of place in
these columns.
