verdict in his favor, it places the de-
PENDANT in a position difficult to ex-
plain. He admitted, for the purpose
of the trial, that he had entered into
an illegal contract and took advantage
of its illegality TO escape its pecuniary
obligations. He admitted, in effect,
that he had purchased Liyingston's
Democratic support. Though he won
his case by it, he lost the main conten-
ton entirely, which was that his
dealing with Livingston had been
honorable and would stand the test.
Both parties to the admitted contract
were open to the severe arraignment
they received from the court The
only person who can "look happy
over the outcome is Judge Powers,
counsel for Livingston and enemy OF
Page, who sees his rival placed in an
awkward fix before the public. As we
understand it, Page did not want to
take the step that was finally decided
on, but was overruled by his counsel.
He has and does stoutly maintain that
he entered into no contract with Liv-
ingston that was contrary to public
policy and illegal, and we believe him.
But to admit this on trial and deny it
outside is anomalous. Far better
would it have been to have fought the
contract to the last ditch and even
lost before the jury, if that were at all
likely. For then Page and his friends
could always have maintained that
according to their understanding
dishonorable had been done.
Now they are disarmed by the gov
ernor's own admission. The whole
case was one involving not dollars,
but regulations, and the main issue
should not have been lost sight of in
the effort to secure a verdict which,
won as it was, is a virtual defeat.

The decision of the Schley board of
inquiry, as many feared, settles moth
ing. Two of the three members found
against Schley on all the more impOr-
tant indictments brought against him.
Dewey dissented on some of these
points, finding Schley blameless, or
qualifying the out-and-out condemna-
ton of the majority. Whether he
holds Schley innocent entirely is not
clearly stated in Dewey's dissenting
report, but from his concluding state
ment that Schley was in absolute COM
mand during the battle OF Santiago
and was entitled 10 the honor for the
victory it is apparent that Dewey is
inclined to excuse whatever short
comings he may have noted in Schley's
conduct. The celebrated controversy
is thus no nearer settlement than
ever. Partisans Of Schley will remain
partisans still, fortified by the opinion
of the president of the board, the hero
of Manila, who, they maintain, is bet
ter qualified to judge of such matters
than both the other members. Critics
of Schley certainly will not weaken.
with the sweeping decision of the ma
jority in their favor Popular senti-
ment is strongly for Schley, while the
majority Of the navy personnel con-
denim him. sympathy for Schley is
not based on his actual deserts so
much as on what is believed to be the
fact-that Sampson deserved little
credit for the victory and tried to
claim all, totally ignoring Schley and
the others, and that Schley has been
the victim of persecution from within
the navy department, due to personal
animosities. Time only viii settle
this controversy. 1t should be
dropped now for good. The Santiago
fight viii 20 into history as a heroless
victory, as other great land and naval
battles have occasionally gone.

The Burlington News is right in re-

st. Johnsbury is not at all pleased over
the raiding the Avenue House, which
resulted in the seizure of quantity of
liquor. The landlord has run a house
that has been a credit to the town, is
popular personally, and nobody claims
that he had sold liquor in a way that
had been offensive to the people of even
that particular town. He had supplied
his own guests. But he will have to
take his medicine just the same as if
he had run the worst rum dive. There
may be no way to differentiate between
these two classes, but the plain fact is
that while popular sentiment in YER
mont will sustain the suppression of
vile nuisances, it does not look with
favor on such raids as this one at st.
Johnsbury. And the whole prohibitory
law suffers.

The Profits in Oil.

The question presented to the mind OF
every cautious investor is: tN hat return
may | expect from California oil stock ~
Fortunately the problem is not new
The experience Of the world presents an
answer which will prove safe guide. The
recent development in California is simply
marvellous to the uninitiated, and the pro-
fits are so immeasurably greater than any
other form of investment that people are
almost inclined to disbelieve its real exist
ence. There are probably dozen men in
Kern County, Cal, who have made q 600
600 each during the past year. While
these men were making their millions,
thousands OF others have been making in
vestments profitable only in less degree.
The Stocks OF Oil Companies rapidly adj
vance in value. Many OF then, originally
selling at Few cents per share, are now
worth hundreds OF dollars per share, and
paying dividends from 100 per cent to 1000
per cent on the first price of the stock.
One company with only 100000 capitali-
cation paid $4,000 in dividends in 1900.
A recent dividend Of Garfield and Chan
seior Oh co. was $500 per share, the par
value being sl.00 and the stock sold orig
inally at 25 cents per share.
careful computation of the returns Of
California Oil Investments show that the
average profit has actually been about 30
for every dollar invested.

Investigated and found to be worthy Of

management-the three essentials for sue
cess. A little spare money invested in
these Stocks NOW, will undoubtedly be a
source OF great comfort in the near future,
as the returns on a SMALL sum at only z
per cent does not allow of many luxuries
to those who are dependent on this income
Tor their daily support. To those so situ-
ated, this opportunity means business.

The st. Adams Messenger deplores
the non-promotion rule, under which
acknowledgements in Vermont are
debarred from the governorship. 1t
asks that able men be named for the
second place and then advanced. This
was the practice for several years,
until the people tired of the succession
business and since then no lieutenant
governor, whoever he was or however
able, has been promoted. 1t has come
10 be well understood that a public
man who accepts second place sur
renders all hope for the higher office.
This is not right neither is the prac-
tice of promotion. As it is, we have
second-rate men for lieutenants. As
it was, second-rate men frequently
gained the governorship, because they
took time by the forelock and got in
line for promotion. Ordinarily, a man
is better qualified for the goyernorship
after he has held the lieutenancy, and
the abandonment OF all set rules about
the matter and the advancement of
the lieutenant when he appears to be
the fittest man, for that reason and for
that reason only, not because he is
next in line, appears to us to be the
best solution.

Thou knowest that these duties all take

count them righteous, and heed nv
prayers. Bless the bean supper and
the minstrel show, and put il in the
hearts of all to 90. Induce all visitors
to patronize The men who in our pro-
gramme advertise, Because I've chased
those merchants till they hid Whene'er
they saw me coming-yes, they did.
Increase the contributions to our fair,
And bless the people who assemble
there. Bless Thou the grab-bag and
the gypsy tent, The flower table and
the cake that's sent. And when Thou
hast bestowed these blessings-then,
We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls.

The Randolph HERALD declaims
against the legal practice OF forbidding
husband or wife to testify against
each other in courts of law; does not
think it is a proper ruling; that the
truth is often obscured by it, etc.
This practice, brethren, is not wholly
founded in legal procedure; it takes
root in something deeper, something
nearer to the real heart of humanity (;
in sentiment perhaps, that sees a
hideous and unnatural spectacle in the
partners of a marriage sacrament
being compelled, against the cry of
nature, to testify to the hurt of each
other. And we heartily respect the
sentiment.-[ Vergennes Enterprise.
Very eloquent and pathetic. But is
it not true that for every case such as
the contemporary so tearfully alludes
to there are at least ten where the
husbands or wite's testimony would be
of benefit to the partner accused of
crime? And always it would tend
toward the uncovering of truth, what
ever the truth might be. Law does
not compel the accused to testify, and
the fact that he does not testify is not
to be taken against him, but he has
the privilege of telling his own story,
if he sees fit. Yet the wife is gagged
by a foolish rule founded on
unjust suspicion and simpering senti-
ment.
