The Captain Who Was always
Prepared."

George Dewey seems to have been for
gotten by Vermont in its "old home week
celebration. Nowhere in the reports do
we find mention of the presence of the
once famous commander. The Vermont
ers were very proud of him in 1895, and
when he came sailing home from Manila.
but then the admiral lost his heart and
later his head, and the feeling toward
him seemed to suffer what the Green
mountainers call a cold snap" The
state is not without its hero, however,
and Capt. Clark of the Oregon, as he
will always he known, is in the minds
of many as big a man as the hero of
Manila bay. lie was in Vermont last
week and ne received a hearty welcome
wherever he went. 1t is not TO be de-
MED that the splendid work of the COM
mander of the oregon in that wonderful
trip around Cape Horn and then into
the midst of the fight at Santiago is
worthy of recognition, not only by the
people of his state, but by the national
government. Always prepared" was
the motto of the Oregon, its crew and
its captain during the journey of 1900
miles and the weeks of blockade
duty that followed. We do not wonder
Vermont papers are urging their repre-
sentatives in Congress to obtain suitable
recognition and reward for the gallant
captain, who kept his ship and crew in
such condition that in the battle of
Santiago the. Oregon was able to con-
tribute most effectively to the humiliation
of the Spanish fleet. There is no dis
pute over the value of his services. and
a no time since the battle has it been
recorded that he, by word or action,
has Appeared to be anything but a
brave and modest captain of the United
States navy.

Best for a Community Like ours.

From the Burlington Free Press. ]
Having watched the operations of
the law in Vermont from its first
enactment until now, and having OBJ
served the operation of license laws in
we uphold the existing law as more
effective, more easily enforced in a
community like ours, and better in
most respects than any license law of
which we have any knowledge. But
we are tied to no pet theory on the
subject, aside from its actual practical
value. We look at results rather than
means-and if any one will show us a
system which will more effectively re-
press the enormous evils resulting
from the free traffic in intoxicating
liquors, in a community such as this
of Vermont, we say. as we have often
said before, that we shall be glad to
welcome it. We do not know of any
such system. Evidently the majority
of the people of Vermont do not know
of any such SYSTEM and this being
the case they have refused in the past,
and till some new light appears on the
subject, will refuse in the future, to
change our existing system of repres-
sion of the liquor traffic for that in
vogue in any other state or country.

Brattleboro Elected President.
The semi-annual convention of the
Windham County Christian Endeavor
union was held in Townshend Aug.
20, and was successful although the
attendance was comparatively small
because of rain early in the day. The
main feature of the day session was a
symposium on "Our Personal Respon-
sibility as Regards: 49, Temperance,
Sunday Observance and Public Nor
ais" which followed papers on "The
Juniors" by Miss Bessie Hardy of
Townshend, and THE Cincinnati Con
vention," by Col. E. G. Osgood of
Bellows Falls, state president.
Among the speakers on the topics
included in the symposium were Col.
Osgood Mrs. Dawson, Rev. E. c..
Fisher of Guilford, Miss Lawton of
Dummerston, James Clark of West
Brattleboro, and others, who express
ed a variety of views on the subjects.
Mr. Clark struck the key-not in the
discussion as to public morals when he
said: You never can raise morals
higher than your own standard" He
emphasized the fact that young peo-
pie naturally are opposed to evil, and
thought this natural tendency ought to
be supplemented by moral surround
ings. Young people will turn out to be
just what they are encouraged to be

The controllers Of the coal output
apparently do not intend to allow con-
sumers to profit very largely by get
ting their supply early. Coal is NOV
ing very slowly, and large quantities
are being held back in order to force
up the price. This commodity has
now reached $3.50 and 81 a ton and
another advance of 25 cents is expect
ed in a few days. The peach season
is now on, some 200 baskets having
been sold in Brattleboro the past week.
A larger amount will be shipped the
coming week. The price varies from
$1.25 to $1.50. Another drop in pota-
toes this week has placed the price at
80 cents a peck Peddlers of potatoes
have been numerous, and several have
made the price as low as 20 cents

No man in the capital city of the State
Of Ohio is better known than the Rev.
James Poindexter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streets
of the city where he has labored for so
many years. What a history of benev.
Olence and self-sacrifce might be writ
ten by simply giving the details of the
everyday life of this faithful pastor and
eloquent preacher.
But old age comes to the best of men.
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious raw
ages when 1t became necessary to find a
remedy, II possible, that his days Of use
fulness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor of his whole system, was needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pc

he states:
"My attention was called some time
ago to your medicine for rheumatic
troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable

day by a mob of citizens for criminally
assaulting and shooting to death Mrs.
Charles Williams, wife of a prominent
farmer, near Winchester, Tenn. last Fri

friends to meet him in glory, he met his
death without a groan.
Edward Mortimer, 6S, miner, is the

of release, but on being told that he had
no money left him to perish. After Il
hours effort the old man succeeded in
climbing to the surface of the shaft, and
after wandering eight miles found canoe
which brought him to Dawson.

LYNCHiNGS IN MISSISSIPPI.

Rev. Quincy Erying, of st. James
Episcopal Church, Greenville, recently
preached a sermon on the Crime Of
Lynching," which has been widely
published. 1t is d very able effort
from the stand point he takes, and
should he read by every citizen of
Mississippi at this time when the
subject of lynching is creating so much
interest.
1t is a matter to be deplored by
every good citizen that lynchings
have become so frequent in the state,
and that they sometimes occur when
the provocation is by no means
sufficient to call for such action and
when the proof is not sufficiently
clear. There have been, according to
the jackson correspondent of the
New Orleans States, eighteen lynch
ings in Mississippi since the lst of
January. This is certainly a deplor-
able state of affairs and public senti-
ment is being aroused against it
, throughout the state. The stand
taken by Gov. Longino and the support
given him in this by press and people
throughout the state is an indication
that this evil will bel greatly reduced
in the near future. Lynchings for
rape will and should continue as long
as black bruteS assault white women.
The frequency of these assaults is the
darkest shadow on the civilization
of the South. An outrage of this
kind is the most horrible crime that
it is possible for any one to conceive.
and it is not strange that its per-
|petration in either section of ourgreat
country should bring a visitation OF
the mob's yengence upon the guilty
brute. But while this is true the
frequent hanging of negroes for Other
offences is becoming Il blot on oul
civilization, and the movement
against it comes from the sober, law
!abiding citizens of the state an(
should prevail.
