4 CHANCE FOR THE ACROBATS.

The Montpelier Daily Journal,
in a labored, two-column editorial
attempts to smooth over Dillingham's
opposition in 1884, to the Parker Bill
tax on oleomargarine, by showing
what no one has denied, that he
afterwards supported another bill, for
bidding it's sale as butter, which every
one admits has turned out to be good
for nothing.
All this is not disputed, yet our con-
temporary devotes two columns in
amplification of it, giving the names
Of other supporters of the bill, but
says nothing of the feeling that arose
among the farmers in the legislature
over the defeat of the Parker bill, and
how Dillingham; gladly favored the
second bill to take the curse off from
his opposition to the first, thus get
ting on both sides of the fence.
Our contemporary fourishes much
over what there is no dispute about,
but fails to touch the real points in
issue, WHICH are:
FIRST, that DlIHngnam claimed the
Parker bill unconstitutional.
Second, that our contemporary also
claimed that it was unconstitutional
and said it had been so decided in
''New York and other States.''
This was the emphatic claim of Dill
bingham and his papers, but this has
been shown to be absolutely false and
proves that Dillingham; either is a
poor lawyer or is ready to pervert the
law against the farmers ofsthe state.
It also shows that he cannot, with
out change of heart, vote for the
Grout bill, which like the Parker bill
in 1884, proposes a tax on oleomar-
garine.
It also shows that the Dillingham;
papers are utterly unreliable as
guides and teachers of the people. If
Dillingham; will confess that he did not
know the law and would nowvote the
other way, the farmers might forgive
him.
So also if our contemporary, and
other Dillingham; papers, would own
up squarely, that they were wrong in
this matter, the people might make
an effort to believe them in the future
Will they do it?
Confession is said to be good for the
soul.-&. Johnsbury Republican.

In an article in the September
North American ReUie,U Mr.. Marion
Wilcox, who has just completed CHAR
per's History of the War in the Phil
lipines," which is to be published in
the course of few weeks, writes of
"The Filipino's Vain Hope of Inde-
pendence." Mr.. Wilcox gives an in
teresting sketch of the character of
the various peoples -Tagalog, Wis
ayan, Moro, Malay, Ilocano-who are
divided and dispersed among the
hundreds of the PHILIPPINE Islands, in
dense forests and among inaccessible
mountains, and of the disturbances
which have been occurring among
hem at intervals since the discovery
of the archipelago. He analyses the
records of the conversations and ne
gotiations between Aguinaldo and
other Filipino chiefs and other Amer
lean officers and agents; and finds
that such promises of independence
as were made to the Filipinos were
uttered by those who were not enti-
tied to speak for the American gov
eminent. Mr.. Wilcox does not think
that we should shirk our new respon-
sibiIities.

Republican Orators Of '06 Join Ranks
Of Democracy.

Senator Jones chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, has invited
Carl Schurz and Bourke Cochran to take
the stump for Bryan and Stevenson. 1t
Is believed that both of these gentlemen,
who supported Mckinley in 1896, will
accept the invitation.
Word has been received at the Demo.
cratic national headquarters in Chicago
that Senator George l.. Wellington Of
Maryland (Republican) would take the
stump for Bryan early in the campaign.
With him will come l.. w. Habercorn
of Washington, who was in charge of
the German Bureau of the Republican
National Committee four years ago !;
Rosa Downing of Washington, a
lawyer, heretofore identified with the
Republican party Patrick o Farrell of
Washington, lawyer, who undertook
to swing certain portion of the Irish
vote for Mckinley In 1896; Jackson N.
Ralston of Hyattsville, Md, Nc
Kinley supporter four years ago; Henry
f. Keenen of Washington and Doctor
w. A. Croffut of the same city, who has
volunteered to stump the country with.
out pay in the interest Of Bryan and
Stevenson.
These recruits will be received into the
Democratic fold, as matter of course
The statement that Senator Wellington
is to follow the example of Webster
Davis is made on the authority of Doctor
Croffut, and, although the Senator him
self has not been heard from, 1t is
assumed by the National Committee
that Doctor Croffut is authorized to
speak for him.

AT the speaking at this place last
Saturday between the county candi-
dates A. T. Gross, in discussing the
political record of Judge Cain was
necessarily compelled to refer also to
the errors recorded against Sheriff Bran
son, whose account had been approved
by the county judge. A great many
instances were mentioned where the
taxes of negroes and white Republicans
who, rs the record shows, have property
ranging in value from $3.50 to $3.50, had
not been paid, and the sheriff had
marked them on his book as mo good. -
1t was further charged that a poll tax
receipt had been issued to some OF these
parties, in order that they might vote
the Republican ticket. The issuance OF
a poll tax receipt, without paying the
property tax also, is violation of the
law, and yet none of these charges were
denied. To think the people of Craw-
ford county will vote to continue men
in Office who not even deny such charges,
and who are so wholly incompetent to
attend to their duties is reflection on
their intelligence and honor. Mulberry

AN important national railway statute

that NIL railway cars engaged In inter-

after any railway company that uses u
car not thus fitted will be liable TO tine
Of 800 for each olfense. Labor organiza.
ations have worked for this law for
years. The interstate commerce com.
mission advocated its passage, II was
shown, on m average, $50 employees
were killed annually while coupling
cars. while those injured IN the per-
formnnce Of that duty averaged about
4, 800 yearly. The cost Of compliance
with ths law has been enormous, but the
railroads expect TO reap ample financial
reward from being able TO make better
time with their freight trains, handle
bigger loads with fewer employees and
materially reduce tho loss Of life md
