Young Cornelius Vanderbilt is not too

Hartman's Sacriiicc--The presence in
Washington OF former Representative Hart
man OF Montana is said to have something
to do with the disintegrstion OF the Ma
tionaI Silver party alleged to be in prog
ress. and the invincible tendency OF the
organization to resolve itself into its orig
inalIy independent groups. Il is claimed
that the Democrats acted in bad faith by
permitting Mr.. Hartman 20 be defeated for
Congress after he had done SO much for
BRYAN and the Chicago platform in 1886.
and that this is an evidence OF Democratic
insincerity all along the line. The state
ment is made that unless the Democracy
allows proportional representation in the
officers to the various elements that en-
tered the campaign Of 1895 il is useless
longer to hope for effective coalition any
where Il is pointed out that Mr.. Hart
man fought his old Republican associates
so bitterly four years ago in Congress and
on the stump as to have completely alien
sted all support from that quarter, and
that the Democratic fold was his only pos
stble refuge from political humiliation.
Blame for his inhospitabIe treatment is laid
directly at the door Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and this is being en-
plOyed as one of the strongest arguments
against longer continuance Of the Coop
Grafton between the National Silver party
and the Democracy. Mr.. Hartman is main
tanning dignifed silence on the question,
and il is said 10 be his intention to have a
long conference with Colonel Bryan on the
matter when the Nebraskan comes to
Washington this month. The hope is en-
tertained by Democrats that Co'~nel Bryan
can do some good work for fusion through
Mr. Hartman.

SEEN AND HEARD AT THE CAPITOL

Former Representative Payson OF Illi-
nOis was at the Capitol this morning on
Congressional business He appears to
enjoy the independent life Of a lawyer even
more than the vexing occupation Of rep
resenting a district in Congress. Mr.. Pay
son has host Of friends among Senators

knowing ones, somewhat resem bIes Henry

the House was called to order. He says
he is losing no sleep over the persistent
rumOrs Of his przhabIe nomination for the
Vice Presidency.
A former Representative who has not
been in Washington for sorle years. was
visiting the Capitol today and spoke
Of the many changes being
wrought about tn city. Said he. i

Then the Attorney General who. as | after

We can completely sympathize with SIR.
Hanna in the embarrassment he feels L.
cause of the familiar, not TO say jocose,
manner in which he is treated by most ex-
pouents OF the press. even in his own rer-
sonsliy owned and conducted state OF Ohio.
He declares with much pathos that he is a
Senator Of the United States. a fact %
NJ ich there is evidence outside Of the
stubs OF auybOdy's check book. and that
the dignity OF his position ought to he rec
ognized aud respected. He is right, ard
we think that. generally speaking. &c is
respected. or course there are humorous
journalists who call him dollar Marx
and cartoouists who picture his fine rugged
features in a way to render him instantly
recognizable anywhere in the Union.
He cannot help his looks any more than
the papers can He should remember that
he is not the FIRST statesman who has been
sla"ucd on the back by an affectionate and
admiriug public. Mr.. Clay was referred to
as the "Old Harry" by his opponents. The
cultured and decOrous Mr. Buchanan was
widely known as "Old Buck" and there
was once q pseudo President, who. in deli
cate compliment to an amiable chronic
popularity of his. was pleasantly called
--Truthgrford. Mt. Hanna must not for

We are not disposed to give much Gre
denCe TO Western stories which allege that
Mr. Bryan and Chairman James X. Jones
are not working together In harmony. If
the latter has any idea OF retiring from the
management Of Mr. Bryan's interests. il
must be Of recent birth. because. only a
couple OF weeks ago, Mr.. Jones was repre-
scented as treating the subject Of political
subscriptions in "a way 10 indicate that ne
expected to handle he important ones
personally. some time I'm the future Il is
Of course possible that the influence and
popularity of AR o. II Z. Belmont in the
East and of Mr.. Hog i'm Texas. may have
introduced new elements in the organiza-
yion Of the work Cor next autumn. but rs
yet there is no apparent reason for think
ing that Mr.. Jones would not like to re-
peat in 1909 the labors df- E5s5. with the
hone OF better results.

sonage were flung wide open Thursday
night to welcome the people OF the parish
and other invited guests. DR.. Ada l..
Howard, first president of Wellesley Col.

a very interesting talk on Longfellow
and his visits to the college, and charmed
everyone by her gracious manner and
winning presence. Miss Merrill, of St.
Johnsbury, a Wellesley graduate, was
present and discOursed sweet music from
her guitar. The Miltemore family from
Concord with their sister, Miss TatrO,
rendered many musical selections with
rare skill and taste. The college songs
were in evidence though sung mostly by
men. AS several college girls were pres
ent, Fudge" was made in generous
quantities. Altogether the wellesley
evening" was voted an entire success and
every one acknowledged new debt of
gratitude to Rev. and Mrs. Patterson.

received the few of the old friends who
could be hastily collected. Miss Bowers

"GOod By, Fish Hatchery"

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
The financial committee of our Repub-
lican Club, were very much gratified at the
generous sum which was subscribed
towards the expense of our Club by Cen
eral Grout, and it might be we'll enough
to mention here that the General is al
ways ready with his influence and aid
for any enterprise that will be OF any
benefit to St. Johnsbury or the county
fair. 1t was through his efforts that the
Fish Hatchery was established and the
Government appropriation to support
it. But his place in the House will be
filled next term by Kittredge Haskins,
and with the bitter antagonism that St.
IohnsDury fought him at his nomination,
we can hardly expect any assistance from
him. II Senator MorrilI's place is filled
by Dillingham;, St. Johnsbury may be
called upon to say, Good by, Fish
Hatchery"
Respectfully,
GEO. H. Cross,
Chairman OF Committee,
