In an edIiorIai when appeatesi
some time ago in j. A. CasWeli's
paper, the Anoka Herald, that
gentleman makes the prediction
that the campaign in Minnesota
will not be fought on national IS
sues. He says that the Democrats
will ignore the prosperity issue;
they will sheer as little as possible
at the success of American arms,
they will not harp much about
their patent reacting method of
settling accounts at so cents on the
dollar; they will not take issue
with the Republicans when they
compare the record Of the great
Republican party with that of the
bungling, incompetent, amateur
ish methods invariably pursued by
the Demorrats-they will simply
have Mr.. Lind fitted with as be
coming halo as they can con-
struct and will ask the people to
bow down and worship him. 1t
will be Lind and Lind's record OPP
posing all arguments, all facts, all
hypotheses-it will be Lind
against the universe. And what
stories the people will be asked to
believe! We can almost hear now
what he will say about the rail
roads, the Irvine plant, the ele-
vators-we can hear his 'raucous
voice" and see his ear-stained face
as he pleads for votes.
To meet the onslaughts of the
enemy successfully, continues Mr..
Caswell, Republicans should or
ganize thoroughly and then should
resolve to shoot the opposition so
full of prosperity that their sensi-
tive stomachs will rebel; serve up
such doses of patriotism that they
won't be able to look the Ameri-
can eagle in the face; stand by the
country so strenuously that they
will think that the stripes in the
flag are something besides faded
streaks and that the stars stand for
something besides a pleasing ar
rangement of geometrical figures
preach patriotism until they
will either die of modification or
wish they were fighting in the
bushes of Luzon with Agninaldo
and not bushwhaeking in Mime
sofa. And let us not be afraid to
meet the claims to perfection that
the governor will immodestly adj
vance. Let us remember his veto
of the Miller bill; his appointment
of Nicollet avenue farmers for
grain inspectors; his appointment
of Pope, the man with a snag
proof conscience and a memory
full of blow holes; let us train our
Long Toms on the hull of his
arguments of succeas in state
management and our machine guns

In view of Mr.. Bryan's remark
that the Democratic party would
be willing to take the votes of all
the people who have not had their
share of prosperity, and leave the
Republicans the votes of the
people who had been prosperous,
people here are wondering if he
will vote for Mckinley for Presi-
dent this year. In 1896 the as
sessed valuation of Mr.. Bryan's
property was only 1910; this year
it was 81, $50, showing that gen
eral prosperity has visited Colonel
Bryan. AS he is one of the pros
erous ones, he should certainly
vote for Mr.. Mckinley.

SOME of the Pop boosters are
trying hard to induce Chas. G..
Miller of the Duluth Paper com
pany to come out against w. e..
Sargent for sheriff. Chas. Miller
is neither fool nor knave and
has more sense than to come out
against the most popular man in
St.,Louis county. Besides it has
been given out flat and cold we
understand, by no less o person
than Miller himself that he will in
no event accept the nomination
against Sargent.

The democratic campaign man
ayers are arranging to put their
best stumpers and the bulk OF
their funds and documentary mat
erial in the congressional districts
where they think they have a
chance. 1t is true Bryan made
the positive statement, the other
day, that he didn't believe the
republicans would carry a single
state this year-not even Yer
mont. The democratic managers,
however, are not so confident as
Colonel Bryan is, and are at least
willing to concede the possibility
that Iowa and Minnesota may 90
republican. They are preparing,
however, to make hard fight to
control the house. They argue
that even if Colonel Bryan is
beaten and they elect majority
of the new house, they will be able
in year from next December to
deprive the government, or 1.-THE
autocrat, Mckinley" as they ARE
pleased to call the chief executive,
acting in accordance with the
power conferred upon him by the
constitution and the congl esss of
the United States, of $4,000 men
and cut our regular military forces
down to $4,000. They declare
that the presidents purpose is to
play the autocrat in foreign
affairs" The New York World
calls frantically upon its party to
prevent him from using the
armies and navies of the United
States arbitrarily and without au-
thority, in pacifying China" That
is, the democrats oppose vigor-
ously the performance by the
government of it's bounden duty
to protect American citizens and
property in foreign lands
! 1t is probable that the nation
will decline to indorse this kind of
patriotism" AS the democratic
intention as to American interests
! abroad is thus sufficiently explicit,
! it should be the aim of the repub-
lican campaign managers, aided
| by all republican voters, to secure
republican majority of from thirty
to fifty in the house of the next
congress. The democrats will
carry majority of the southern
states, but the north and west
should turn out an aggregation of
republican congressmen-elect
which would approach the nature
of a ''clean sweep
The democrats think that by
J, howling .'imperialismn' they can
popular lie dollyvarden democracy
with its coat of many colors.
They are evidently again prepar-
ing to march through Watterson's
slaughter house to an open
grave" They tried this cry Of
imperialism" to bring Washing
ton into dispute at the close of the
last century. A hundred years
later they fell back on the same
tommy rot. -Minneapolis Jour

JOSEPH PULITZER, editor of the
greatest democratic paper publish
ed in the United States, recently
propounded the following timely
interrogatives: "Why drag to the
front again the dead and four
times condemned falIacy of 16 to
1, which even success at the polls
could not establish? Why shout
the Shibboleth of a calamity cam
paign in a year of Astounding pros
perity? Why cry for more
money! when in the last four years
our money supply has been in
creased fully 200,O00,000? Why
talk of low prices and inability to
pay debts, when prices have ad-
vanced along the whole line and
mortgages have been discharged
by the carload-in good money.

The knights of Pythias fair came to
a close Thursday evening when the
opera house hall was filled to its utmost
capacity with people anxious to see and
hear the final grand wind up. To say
that the fair as whole was one of the
most successful functions of the kind
ever attempted in Island Pond would be
putting it mildly. Crowds We're in at
tendance every afternoon and evening
and nothing but praise and approval
was heard. n~anything pertaining to the
fair. The stage entertainment was of
the highest class that has been seen in
Island Pond in many a day. Prof.
Floyd in his feats of magic and sleight
of hand delighted and mystifed all,
young and old alike. His tricks are
new, clean and devoid of any of the
coarseness, lack of delicacy, that charac.
terizes the performance, oftentimes, of
1853 competent ditiotS tiidu lol' Tl'Nu'
The mind reading or mnemonics of
Mrs. Floyd, incomprehensible to many,
was wonderful in the extreme and the
applause that always greeted her as she
made her entrance upon the stage after
the first night showed how her efforts
We're appreciated. Mrs. Anna Spencer
Frost made decided hit from the first
moment of her appearance and was given
encore after encore. 1t is seldom that a
public reader attains the happy faculty
of pleasing all minds with the same Sc,
lection as has Mrs. Frost Miss Grace
Davis received the applause she deserved
| for her violin solos and showed unmis.
takably that her hand has not lost its
cunning since an Island Pond audience
| last heard her music. The main features
of interest of the last evening was natur
| ally the result of the contest for the
diamond studded society emblem and
for the conductors gold lantern. The
strife for these two valuable souvenirs
was decidedly animated up to the very
last minute and it is matter of con
| graduation to all concerned that bOtl
these contests were so good natured ant
devoid of any ill feeling or persona
luminosity as they were animated. Whel
the votes for the emblem were counted
it was found that Mr.. c. II. Bevingtol
had 1885 and MIR. Nj. j. Daley $500
For the lantern Mr.. Adam Danfortl
polled l0ll and Mr.. A. Poulin $50. The
lace handkerchief went to Miss Blanche
Davis with 4o2 votes while Miss isabelle
Stern had $50. These awards wert
taken in the utmost good nature by al
the candidates and their friends ant
closed a fair that will long be remem
bered in Island Pond. The HERALI
wishes to congratulate the Knights o
Pythias not only on their enterprise ant
success as lodge but upon the goo,
feeling and general satisfaction that wa
maintained and the financial outcome o
this their first entertainment effort

AN ACT

Granting certain powers to the Island
Pond Water Company, Corporation
incorporated under the general laws
of the state of Vermont, introduced by
Senator Green of Essex County, ana 4. o.
Dechene. the representative of Brighton.
Il is hereby enacted by the GenerH is
SembIy Of he State ot I'ermont,:
We publish this week by request a
full text of the bill introduced in the
legislature to enable the Island Pond
Water Co. to enlarge its plant and to
enable it to obtain an additional or ill.,
creased supply of water. The bill is
nearly identical with many now on the
statutes of the state. But the company
employed some one to draft the bill, who
did so by taking parts of two former
acts and putting them together. The
bill in the particular of which the most
complaint is made would have been all
right as applied to a town III which no
like plant existed. but as it was drawn
with provisions authorizing the taking
of all waters in town, it authorized the
taking and condemning of the property
of water systems already existing. AS
soon as this feature of the bill was called
to the attention of the friends of the
bill they disclamed any such intention
and it was readily arranged to remedy
this feature of it, A provision was
agreed to for the determination of what
it was necessary or just for the Island
Pond Water Co. to take and condemn,
and one to provide for bond to regu-
late water rates if one shall he necessary.
and some other features of the bill were
changed. In short, all concerned very
willingly agreed to ask such legislation
in the matter as was satisfactory to all
i interested, and representatives of the
various interests have gone to Montpelier
| to confer with the committees as to what
legislation is necessary and just. We
have no doubt as to the fact that what
ought to be the legislation in this matter
will be had. The bill:
