"Publish copies Of every record OF
my administration, if called for" is
the sum and substance Of President
McKinley's instructions to the NOM
bers of his cabinet. That is the
straight forward answer of the man
who knows that the closer his official
acts are studied, the higher his admin
istration will stand, to the roundabout
attempts of the democrats and as
sistant democrats to play politics by
offering all sorts of resolutions ask
ing for all sorts of Information, so
worded as to arouse suspicion in the
minds of the suspiciously inclined that
their authors know of something dis
creditable on the part of some branch
of the administration. This offer to fur
nish any Information desired by Con-
gress, together with President Nc
Kinley's request to the republican
leaders in both branches of Congress
that they would not take advantage
of the republican majority to defeat
resolutions of inquiry offered by dem
ocrats, has disconnected the demo
Gratis, and they seem to be uncetain
as to what they shall do next.

AS General Grout has signifed his
intention of retiring from the House
at the close of his present term
of office, several aspirants to the
Office have been looking the situation
over and preparing for the contest
which they saw was sure to come.
The prominent candidates before the
public are Col. Haskins of Brattleboro,
Hon. Frank Plumley of Mortified, W.
P. Stafford of st. Johnsbury, and Col.
Porter Dale OF Island Pond. Col.
Haskins is a very able man and his
ability together with his experience
as public servant, would make him
a very valuable man should he be
elected as representative of this dis
trict. Mr.. Plumley is a worthy aspir-
ant to the Office and has a good
following which will enable him to
make a strong fight for the place.
The two men presented from this end
of the district, Mr.. Stafford and Col.
Dale are both we'll qualified to fill the
position, but the point is being urged
against Mr. Stafford that he cannot
be relied upon and that he has only
recently allied himself with the repub-
ican party. No such claims can be
made against Mr.. Dale, and although
he has only recently announced his
candidacy it has been very favorably
ommented on by the press and he is
assured of hearty support from diff
ferent sections in the district Mr..
Dale is we'll and favorably known to
the people of this section and we be-
lieve he will receive the support of the
whole county.

A despatch from New York states
that Capt. W. V. Christmas, Dirckinck-
Holmfeld of Copenhagen, who has
been in the city. has gone to Wash
ington. He is one of the accredited
agents of the Danish government in
the pending negotiations looking to
the sale to the United States of the
islands of st. Thomas, st. John and
st. Croix known as the Danish West
Indies. Capt. Christmas said before
leaving that he believed the negotia-
tions in progress would soon reach
a satisfactory termination. The price
first demanded was thirteen millions,
then it was reduced to seven and a
half millions but now the Danish gov
ernment is willing to accept four
millions, which sum will about enable
the authorities of Denmark to pay
the colonial Indebtedness.
