The capitalists will Of course call
Mayor Schmitz a socialist or anar'
chist, but nevertheless be is the
Mayor of San Francisco. In an,
nouncing his election The Examiner
says editorially:
SIN our opinion Mayor elect
Sch nitz will give San francisco just
the kind of administration that it
needs. He is in sympathy with the
working people because he is one OF
them. He will see to that their chill
dren have opportunities to receive
good education in public schools be-
cause he has children of his own.
He will try to do everything possI-
BILE for the improvement OF San
Francisco because he is proud of his
native city and has no interest that
he does not share in common with
all of his fellow citizens. He will
see to it that the laws bear equally
upon rich and poor. He has moth
ing to gain, except by the promo.
tion of good government and has
everything in the world to lose by
making a failure OF his sdminIstra-
ton. Politicians had nothing to do
with his nomination or election aud
he is therefore free to consider the
good of the public service without
reference to either individuals or
organizations. His canvass showed
him to be a man of caution rather
than of vsnturesome spirit. He
made but few pledges to the people
and those he made ran along lines
which are not sensationally radical

The muuic ipal elections in New
York and San Francisco indicate a
change in politics which Iwillepuzzle
the professional politicians for some
time to come. The Mayor of San
Francisco is a rank socialist, or as
they call it there a labor union man.
Mayor Schmitz may turn out suc-
cess, but it is ten to one, that it will
be the other way. Mayor Seth Low
of New York has routed Tammany.
He is politically speaking clean
and honest man, but it is ten to one,
that Tammany will eventually rule
during his term Office. 1t is healthy
sign when men vote for the best man
for Office, Indifferent Of his political
affiliations.

What a diguified appearance Gov

crawls around the merchants and
ask them for few thousand dollars
to keep the Government machine
going. Why not call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, Mr.. Dole.
1t certainly would look better, and
the men who give aims to the Gov.
arnment would not run the risk they
do now by having the next Legisla-
tura refusing TO repay the aims or
advan ces made to Dols.

Chinaman, who pleaded guilty to
two charges of larceny, and in each
case was sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment. The mittimus in each
case, signed by our American judge,
reads that The criminal shall be i'm
prisoneJ, ETC., for one year, begin
ming on November 13, etc. The
Chinsmau simply serves one year
under that mittimns, although sen
fenced to two years imprisonment.
Lucky for him that he wasn't
member of the Bar Association, or
the mt.imus might have stretched
out instead OF shrinking under our
American judges care.

BARRE, VT, MAY IS, 1901

During his lecture on temperance
last Monday night in St. Monica's
church, Hon. James Dunn stated that
statistics showed that during the past
ten years SO, 439 murders were due d.
rectly to the excessive use of intoxi.
eating liquors. This is only one'of
the million arguments that go to show
the injurious effects that follow lib
eral use Of intoxicating beverages, but
this is not the question Vermont is
trying to settle. The real issue is to
determine whether more liquor is sold
under the present prohibitory law
than would be sold under local op-
tion regime. The TELEGRAM believes
that large majority of the citizens
OF the state, regardless Of their stand
ing on this question, are working with
the same end in view, that of decreas-
ing the liquor traffic. There are very
few men who favor local option on the
grounds that they will be able to
get any more rum thereby, notwith-
standing that in the event of their
success in the state legislature, such
might prove to be the case.

The Burlington Free Press says;
"The Barre Telegram blandly asks
who would have thought that Bur
lington, proudly waving banner pro-
claiming itself to be the queen City
of Vermont would be the first to
90 back on the Old Home Week pro-
iect. Our Granite City contemporary
must be thinking of Vergennes, the
Oldest city by the lake. Burlington
will not only observe the week in
question but it will also entertain the
Vermont Association of Boston in con-
nection with its celebration. The
TELEGRAM is very glad to learn that
since it, previous comment the Queen
City has got her forces together and
retrieved the reputation for loyalty
which a few days ago was rapidly
away from her.

Rats on q Wreck.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Newcastle
Chronicle describes striking scene
witnessed at the breaking up of the
vessel Gothenburg City on st. Mary g
island, Off the coast OF NorthumDer-
land.
The vessel might have been sailing
comfortably out of harbor for aught
that appeared except that there was
no sign of life on board. We had no
sooner put foot on deck. however, than
we were furiously attacked by swarms
of rats.
Great, hungry, lank, lean looking
rats, many Of them with their tails
chewed off, swarmed up from below IN
hundreds and thousands, squeaklng
and suuirming over each other ID Il
manner sickenNg and horrible to be-
hold.
Those of us who had stepped on deck
ran to the rigging. while the others
scrambled huAiedly back into the BOAT.
Our position in the rigging was dan
gerous in the extreme. 1T was more
than ones life was worth to attempt
TO run the S.Iitlcl VI tlorN i'N',N' ''"'
ing rodents, and to remain in the rig
ging was equally impracticnble.
At last we cut off some loose ropes,
knotted them into convenient lengths
and, so armed, descended and fought
our way through the squealing hordes
and eventually succeeded in beating a
passage to the boat. .l
1t seemed as If the rats knew the I'M
pending fate Of the vessel, for they no
sooner saw us over the side than they
began to swarm down the ropes and
try to enter the boat. 1t was with difh-
Guilty that we could beat them Off be-
fore casting clear. And they squeaked
in a horrible manner as we rowed
away.
A few hours later the Gothenburg
City went to pieces.

Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, in
Venezuela, was asked by deputation
Of the inhabitants, who had heard Of
his skill as surveyor, whether he
thought a canal could be made from
their village to Provecue. which would
save very long river Journey He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage Of two small streams
q canal of about league would be all
that was necessary.
The committee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera,
and the first question asked him was:
''Do you not think canal could be
made from here to ProvecueY'
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and

was found and once more all was eX-

but the canal.
Some years later vet the surveyor

on his arrival deputation waited upon
him. "Do you think a canal'- The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.
