WE note a Ease of very yellow, jour
nalism In d recent issue of the Com
moser. The word Democrat is
always commenced with a capital,
while the word Republican" is usu-
ally commenced with a little r. We
are afraid that this will arouse un-
favorable comment on the part of the
Republican press, and that it will be
declared to shadow forth the anarch-
istic principles of the editor of that
journal. In the interest of harmony
and fair play we demand that the Re-
publican party shall have its fair share
of capitals, although it monopolized
most of the capital in the last two
presidential elections.

In this case the law has taken its

The assassin was protected from vio-
lence on the part of owe Jealous police

He was protected from the mob by the

been legally tried. legally condemned,

American need be ashamed to compare
the administration of justice in such
cases in this country with the action
of foreign courts.

THE attempt to drive the NeU York
Journal and other Hearst publications
out of business for expressing sympa-
thy with working men in their strug-
gle for better conditions is another
evidence of the irreconcilable differen-
ces that are between the Plutocrat and
the Democrat. The servants of the
p~lutocracy howl that such papers as
the Journal are yellow journals with
anarchistic tendencies that seek to ar
ray class against class, and therefore
should not be permitted to circulate.
The p~lutocracy intend to prevent, as
far as possible, any criticism of their
methods. Any setting forth of the
facts in regard to trusts and corpora
tions will be denounced as ''yellow
journalism" although the facts set
forth cannot be ~controverted. Any
calling of the attention of the people
to the inequalities of taxation, to the
trusts, to the growing power of cor
porations, the shortcomings of the
President of the United States, or any
other public servant, to the populations
of the army officer, to the decisions of
the corrupt or foolish Judge, will be
heralded as yellow" journalism. The
time has come when the Money Lords
demand that they shall be treated as a
privileged class, whose ingoings and
outcomings are not to be exposed to
the vulgar gaze of the common herd.
Any attempt to treat the trust magnate.
the banker, or the eminent lobbyist,
as ordinary men are treated by the
press, is vehementley described as
~.'yellow journalism" 1t will not be
long before the Postofice department
will endeavor to restrict the circula-
ton of papers obnoxious to the pluto
cracy.

Sunday Excursion to Lake sunapee

A Work of Nature" is a term which
is familiar to most everyone, but no.
where can this phase be more aptly
applied than when speaking of Lake
Sunapee. Situated among the hills
of New Hampshire far away from the
turmoil and noise of the city, it is a
true Haven of Rest.
Lake Sunapee is situated 1904 feet
above the sea level. and because of its
altitude the atmosphere is especially
dry and healthful.
The lake is about 80 miles long, and
the calm unruffled surface is dotted
with the small boats which ply to and
fro.
To the south of the lake looms the
lofty and grand peaks of the magnif-
cent Mt Sunapee. while around on
every side may be observed views and
landscape which are perfectfully de-
lightful to the visitor
For days outing at a popular and
pleasant resort, no better choice can
be made than Lake Sunapee.
On August 25th. 1901. the Boston &
Maine railroad will run an excursion

necticut & Passumpsic division as far

Tasker and Miller Cup Winners.

The first event of the fall fixtures of
Wantisquet Golf club took place
Friday afternoon, when the handsome
cups representing the first and second
prizes in the mems handicap, medal
play, were won respectively by John
Tasker and Clarence Miller. These
two players tied on a gross score of 81,
but Miller was scratch man while
Tasker's handicap of five brought his
net score down to 80. Tasker's play
ing was remarkable for golfer in the
first year of his game. His last round
of six holes in 30 is a course record in
prize competition, and is within two
strokes of the course record in prac-
tice, held by Mr.. Miller. Four of
Taskers last six holes were in DOGGY.
On the long hole, 465 yards, on this
round he was on the green in three
and ordinarily would have holed out
in FIVE Doggy, but he putted too hard
and took a seven. In driving from the
tees Tasker Invariably made from 100
to 100 yards. Miller, who has won
prizes in matches in the White Noun
tains and in Florida, played well, but
not up to his best form. He holds the
course record of 81 for Is holes. His
four for the second hole, 315 yards, in
the last round, was one under DOGGY.
Seven other players took part in the
contest. The three next scores were
as follows: DR.. Louis Pettee, gross,
116, handicap IA, net 1902; w. e. Hub
bard, gross 800, handicap IA, net LOG;

ed to a test for CHAMBERS. and another
which was tested Wednesday, fell down
on the street this morning and had TO be

what he pronounced CHAMBERS. an incur
able disease easily communicable to
man, and he had the horse Guaranteed

state board of cattle commissioners were
notified. Two of the members of the
board came to Brattleboro and said that
the disease was probably CHAMBERS
Whitneys other two horses We're then
quarantined. but they were afterwards
released. Early in the week Dr.
Stevens of White River Junction applied
the test to the horse that was first quar-
antined. with the result that it was kill
ed as stated. The one which fell down
