AS TO GIRO USES.

The Morrisville paper is often in a
the clearer the matter the greater the in.
The contemporary was mystified by the
chooses Montpelier instead of Barre for its
next summer exhibition. The Telegram of
Barre thus explains the mystery:
"Montpelier has more politicians and
adroit wire pullers than other town in the
State. This is why She has always had
more than her share of State and county
offices. That is why she gets the circus.
No Montpelier man would ever be guilty of
speaking good word for Barre. AS soon
as a circus asks for a license to exhibit in
this State Mont eier is after 1t. The fact
that the largest crowd that ever gathered
under the canvas in this State was when
the last circus exhibited in the Granite City
does not count as against the blandish-
ments OF the trained Montpelier boomer"
All OF - hch is extremely edifying and
ought to clear even to the simple minded
man from Morrisville. "No Montpelier
man would ever te guilty Of" giving Barre
this "most unkindest cut" administered by
the "Outlander" who assumes to be its spe-
cial raised-up and ordained champion and
boomer. Montpelier men are not in the
habit Of speaking i'll of their sister city
quite the contrary. Even this foreigner
should know better. II circus company
prefers to come TO Montpelier it is its right
and privilege, though some Montpelier peo-
pie have been known to prefer that the ring
shall be raised and the canvas spread in the
Granite City.

BRYAN'S VISIT TO MONTPELIER,

The postponed annual meeting of the
Vermont Democratic Club will be held at
Montpelier Friday, February Q, on the occa-
sion of the visit to this city of Col. w. j..
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan will leave Concord, N. III , for
Montpelier Friday morning, He will be
met at Concord and escorted to Montpelier
by committee from the Democratic club,
composed Of L. w. Moloney OF Rutland, Il.
OF Burlington and John II. Senter of Mont
pelier. During his stay in this city he will
be quartered at the Pavilion. He will
speak at Armory hall on the evening of
Friday, February g. This hall will seat
nearly two thousand people, but the de-
mand upon the members of the committee
giving out the tickets leads them to believe
1t will be necessary TO hold an overflow
meeting in the opera house.
After the speaking, if the occasion will al.
low, an informal rect tptiOn will be held in
introduced TO the prominent Democrats of
the state. The idea Of having banquet
Friday evening has been abandoned. A
committee from Holyoke, Mass. will come
to Montpelier Friday evening and escort
Mr.. Bryan from Montpelier to Holyoke on
the midnight train Friday, February 2.
@. A Fitzpatrick of White River Junction,
president of the Vermont Democratic Club,
will call the meeting in Armory hall to or
der and will probably introduce Mr.. Bryan.
Excursion trains have been planned from
different parts of the state to run to Mont
pelier that evening and Democrats within a
radius of twenty five miles are pressing
livery teams into service 1t is expected
that more Democrats will be in Montpelier
that evening than were ever gathered here
at any one time.

A LARGE BILL

At the time OF the low water at Berlin
pond, Mayor Senter purchased boiler and
ordered it taken to the pond to be used in
operating the pumps there Later at a
meeting of the city council his action in the
matter was approved by the board.
At the city council meeting held last
Wednesday evening, bill from the Lane
Manufacturing Company for this boiler and
expense of repairing and installing it was
presented for payment to the city council
Alderman Whelan, member of the water
committee, asked that the bill, which
amounted to some 5000, be held for investi-
cation. This was done and he was ap
pointed committee to make the investiga-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that Alder
men Brown and Wheelock, the other MEM
bers OF the water committee, had endorsed
the bill
Alderman Whelan has looked into the
matter and says, as a tax payer, he will
never endorse the bill for payment. He
says the boiler was an old one and out Of
repair, that $3.50 was charged for 1t and that
in the installing and repairing OF it in order
to get it into working condition the bal
ance of the bill accrued. He says even sf-
ter all this expense the boiler was only
used three days and is now useless com.
modify on the hands OF the city.

HOW TO GET A TR lVELING
LIBRARY.

At the meeting OF the Federatio of
Women's Clubs at Lyndonville last Octo
Der, the subject OF travelling libraries was
made prominent on the programme. AS a
result, lnuch interest was expressed and
committee was appointed to purchase and
place such libraries might be presented
by the clubs of the Federation. This com
mittee has several libraries nearly ready to
go out. They average about thirty vol
umes OF fresh and readable books in a neat
case. These libraries will be sent, on ap.
plication, 10 communities now destitute of
library privileges. They will be allowed to
remain until they have been generally
read, presumably six months. No money
is asked for the use of the libraries, but the
community y receiving them will be expected
to pay the cost Of transportation, to provide
for the housing and care, aud to name one
or two persons who will be responsible for
the proper use of the books. The commit
tee would be glad to furnish further infor-
nation and help to those wishing to obtain
the books.

NUMBER $
COTTON Markets NOT INFLU-
ENCED BY MANI ULATIyE
TACTICS,
GOOD COMMON SENSE.

To accept for a governing influence, idle
speculations as to what might happen, or the
too common "if' of interests avowedly manip-
ulative, and the only ammunition Of the bears
in cotton this season. against facts and all in
formation of an authoritative character, is the
essence of folly; skepticism can not go hand in
hand with faith Truth is what is wanted on
our side, though many show disposition car
ing not to be on the side Of truth; nvestiga-
ton, careful study of figures at hand and
comparisons with former years and past sur
rounding conditions lead to one conclusion
only, that nothing less than a miracle can pre-
vent our staple from realizing in its price every
legitimate factor having a bearing on this
market.
Query as to what cotton is actually worth,
wei : hing carefully extraneous conditions, con-
vinces us that a cent pound above the present
level is fully justified and a much higher price
than eight and onehalf cents is probability
before the later months of the current cotton
year, doubles before a coming May. Too
many get over anxious for events that though
delayed, none the less surely will soon be his
tory and such history as the most ardent bull
on cotton to-day will most pleasantly refer
to. Theories are all right in their place but
in the matter of-fact commodity markets of
this world their claim is Ire-empted; neither
do they add bale of cotton to this seasons
production or assist in rendering the position
of the foreign spinner any more en' liable.
A worlds visible under previous years and
daily growing less, Liverpool stocks the
smallest for years and daily growing less port
stocks diminishing and exports increasing, the
daily movement of this crop, and every fact
obtainable is exceedingly bullish and cannot
be ignored The investor with both capital
and cool head who shrewdly takes adyant-
age of the present cotton market will be amply
rewarded for what his friends will call Long
headedness and foresight" when in fact it was
only faith in facts backed by cash invest
ment, say Knott & Closson, Cotton Commits
sion Brokers of Burlington, Vt, in their letter
of this week, just at hand

WAR ILLUSTRATIONS The Boston Jour-
mats famous halftone daily pictures. In
no way can the scenes and events of the
war in South Africa be brought out more
vividly and more intelligently than in the
splendid haf-ione illustrations which the
Boston Journal is using daily. They are
direct reproductions Of photographs or ac-
curate and artistic drawings, and the half
tone process presents them in all their life
and spirit The Boston Journal has always
been famous as great "war newspaper" in
the sense OF giving the best, most compre-
hensive and most reliable news reports.
This reputation the Journal is surely main
tanning during this present war.
The Journal, however, by no means con-
fines its illustrations to war news. Por-
traits of New England people of promi-
nence and scenes OF timely interest are
brought out best by the Journals half.tone
