by an equal amount of cash held for
their redemption.

MAN AND WOMAN ARE TARRED.
They Are Also Treated to a Good
Coat of Feathers.

Sterling. Ills, July 2.-The funeral of
Mrs. John Zeibert, of Mount Morris near
this city, was delayed today until the
mourners could adjourn TO a corn field
and administer a coat of tar and feathers
TO the husband and sister of the dead
woman. Then the funeral proceeded,
but the two who We're to have been
chief mOurners were absent.
The house was filled with sorrowing
ueighbors when some of them discovered
ZCibert in another room, hugglng and
kissing Mrs. Theodore Wolfe
The crowd quickly dragged the couple
to the corn field. \ plentiful supply of
tar was poured over the victims and
the feathers from pillow We're emptied
on each. Then the two were driven from
the village and ordered never to return.
Mrs Zeibert died of consumption and
during the two years of her sickness it is
alleged that her husband was continually
making love TO her sister.

In no portion of the country is there

A HAND ON CUBA.

Havana is to remain under Ameri-
can control, it appears, when Cuba is
nominally evacuated. Troops enough
will remain in the Cabanas and the
Moro to keep the guns from rusting
and the visitors from walking on the
grass, while the harbor will remain
free for ships of our navy to take their
coal. Some land will doubtless be
bought or rented from Cuba for this
purpose some of the Spanish public
land, probably There may be, and
need be no more than an acre of this
property to put Havana under the
control of this country, if any need
arises for protection or interference.
And Guantanamo may come to us like
wise, its harbor being deep and clean.
And it is soon to be decided wherther
or no we are to have the Isles of Pines.
Considering that we are supposed to
make a complete evacuation of the
island we are not doing so ill in the
matter of providing ourselves with
mementoes.
Of course nobody attaches value to
the assertion that Havana is needed
by this country as coaling station ;
that il is important for the protec-
tion of the canal that may be built
across the lsthmus by somebody, some
time. Havana is only a few hours
sail from Key West, where one may
buy coal all day. The Isle of Pines
is miles nearer to the canal than is
Havana Porto Rico and the Danish
islands, if we get them, are an ad-
vance guard in the Antilles, with
every reasonable facility for putting
coal ON board of our ships, or other
peoples. The plain fact of it is that
we are going to keep a hand on Cuba.
We are not demanding rights in Ha
vana because of any canal but be
cause of Havana. 1t used to be
diplomacy to wriggle around a sub
ject. The sensible and righteous way
is to go straight at it. We may not
be doing a righteous thing in annex
ing any part of Cuba, but manifest
destiny is foreshadowed. - Brooklyn

dates holdings. Therein is the vul-
nerable heel of this armor-clad
Achilles. Experience in the arduous
duties of pound keeper would be in
valuable at this time when estrays
from the political pastures are wan
dering in droves over this candidates
fields and titled lands. These breachy
citizens were believed to be so docile
and subservient to control that line
marked on the ground would keep
them within limits Now with tails
erect and heads up like steers in the
corn, they are gallivanting over all
his well cultivated preserves. Expe-
rience in impounding unruly herds
would be worth millions to this can
didate at this time.
How needful it may be to the best
and wisest statesmanship to run the
gauntlet of local and Legislative offices
may be discerned in any biographical
sketch of the late Senator Morrill,
Here was a man who-eXcepting that
of justice of the peace-never held a
local or State office of any kind in his
life, but who went to Congress and a
career of greater usefulness to his
State and nation, and to greater fame
than any of the alumni of petty town
officers orr the members of Legisla-
lures in the later generations of the
States history. Local office holding
is not sine qua non of wise and
practical craftsmanship.
Mr.. Morrill, was not voluminous
bill introducer at any time in his
| congressional career particularly at
the outset Judging by the new stand
| ard the Proctor newspaper editors are
setting up, Mr.. Morrill, was distinct
| failure as statesman. Even State Sen
ator Fletcher D. Proctor was bigger
man than Morrill, in his earlier career,
for he introduced i'll the two months
| session of the Senate of 1892 two bills,
one to incorporate the Proctor Saw
| ings Bank and Trust Company, the
| othe to amend the charter of an aque-
| duct company of a small town i'll Rut-
| land county. Here is test of states
manship and fitness for the duties Of
| administration in which Proctor scars,
but the Scion who put bushel of
bills into the legislative hopper flies
far higher. Look up the man of the
| highest record in feeding the bill
grinding mill. He is the man these
shifty Proctor editors, according to
their latest test, should bring out and
for him "whoop'er up" for the gov
ernorship.

THE VERMONT CONFERENCE

Friday was busy day in the Yer
mont Conference at st. Adams.
Fred Daniels, G. D. Lance, f. w.
Barnes and Charles w. Kelley were
advanced in their studies. w. f. Hill
was continued in studies of the Sec
ond year.
William Shaw, George E. Deuel.
and Oscar B. Wells were admitted
into full membership after a personal
examination of some length by Bish-
op Goodsell.
Following the examination the
bishop made an eloquent address, tell
ing many of his personal experiences
and giving much instruction to the
assembled clergymen. He forcibly
pointed out the fact that the ministry
of the church was unalterably OPP
posed to the rum traffic. The bishop
said that in reply to questions by a
San Francisco reporter, that he never
had attended q theatrical or operate
performance, never played cards,
never was drunk, and the reporter
thought that he must have had very
dull time.
1t is not considered good form now
adays to be Methodist, but If it has
got to the place where we must lose
the cultured and refined class l must
still say that / cannot accept the dam
aging influence of the theatre, and
music hall, the card party and dane
ing party. Do not change your views
to suit those people who want all that
the world can give and all that God
can give at the same time. Do not
strive to crafty your ambition by the
methods of the world, but glorify
God. 1t is better to have the people
wonder why you are not there than
why you are. If you get to the top
all at once you cannot climb.
Consideration of the interests of
Montpelier Seminary were taken up
at 8 80 O'Clock Rev. j. o. Sherhnrne,
chairman of the conference board of
trustees read the report of the execu-
tive committee, showing the good
work being done by the school,
Rev. w. r. Davenport, secretary of
the board of trustees, asked that the
pastors of the conference keep the
school in mind and extend all possible
aid in adding new students to the
rolls.
Rev. Q o. Judkins, for the past
three years pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Montpelier, en-
phasized the fact that the young men
and women of the day who are to
make progress in the world must be
educated. Persons of better educa-
tion are needed in every walk of life.
Bows and girls in the seminary do not
come under the blighting influences
of the public schools. During the
formative period too much care cannot
be taken of the young. The seminary

MR.. BRYCE ON CUBA.

The article which Mr.. James Bryce
has contributed to the North Ameri-
can Review concerning affairs in
Cuba comes commended to the people
of the United States by the fact that
Mr.. Bryce is one of the most intelli-
gent observers of the conditions of
modern governments now living, and
is especially we'll affected toward our
own country. He confirms the most
favorable opinion as regards the re-
sources of Cuba. He thinks it could
support ten millions of people by
farming alone, in place of the million
and half now there. 1t could raise
more than sugar, and he seems to
think that an increase of other pro-
auctions in place of sugar would be
of advantage there. But this of
course, doesn't apply to the immedi-
ate wants of the island. Mr.. Bryce
found that the sentiment for indie
pendence existed mostly in the lower
class of Cubans. 1t is different with the
property holders, who are inclined to
favor annexation to this country
American rule there has been of great
benefit On this point Mr.. Bryce
says:
The military governor and his lieu
tenants have had to hold their course
through rocks and shoals more numer-
GUS and more troublesome than can
be known to anyone outside the
island. 1t is a pleasure to close these
brief reflections with a sincere trib-
ute to the character and abilities and

COL. HOOKER TO THE VET
ERANS.

Col. George w. Hooker sent to the
Phoenix of Brattleboro the subjoined
| communication in support of the can
| didacy of John G. Mccullough:
The citizens of Vermont will pardon
this letter, as / seldom, if ever, in
| fiict my views upon the public through
the press | honestly believe that the
election of John G.. Mccullough as
| Governor of Vermont would be de-
serving end to a successful and not
| able career since he has become a citi-
zen of our State. AS a veteran could
| not fail to support him ON accountof
| his generous action in changing the
| bequest of the late Mr.. Park who left
| the magnificent Hunt estate in Ben
nington for an old ladies' home, to
home for disabled and sick soldiers,
who had failed to acquire compe-
tence. The home now is the pride of
Vermont During the war from 81
to '65, our splendid war governors,
Fairbanks, Holbrook and Smith, prom
ised to those who enlisted not only
watchful care during their service but
said to them on their return they
would be we'll cared for The pros
porous soldiers have been made Gov
| ernors, Senators and Congressman,
and have occupied positions of high
honor and trust and have eminently
filled them. Through the efforts of
have been equally well cared for
Every veteran and every son of vet
eran and every Spanish war veteran
should support John G., Mccullough
for this act alone, there being no
question about his ability and fitness
for the position of Governor of Yer
mont. John G.. Mccullough was
largely instrumental in placing Red
field Proctor in President Harrison's
cabinet, taking him from Chicago to
Indianapolis after the convention, and
paving the way for his appointment
Secretary Proctor was superior to any
secretary of war in our memory, save
two, the iron Stanton, and the bril-
liant Root, and their equal. Great
credit to Vermont, another reason
why John G. Mccullough should be
supported.
Locally, would say that at re-
cent meeting of the Central Vermont
Railroad Co., at st. Adams, he took
the laboring oar to place the narrow
gauge in physical condition to do
the work of the road So Brattleboro
and Windham county should send
solid delegation to the convention for
his nomination from personal interests
alone. 1t is needless for me to say
that John G. Mccullough would bring
to the office of Governor those quail
ties of mind and heart that eminently
fit him for the place. He would rank
with Odell of New York, and Crane
of Massachusetts, and were meeting
of the Governors of the United States
to take place he would be the equal
of anyone. This is the last time the
citizens of Vermont will have the OPP
portunity to do him honor Younger
men can wait. Four years from now
the candidacy of Fletcher d. Proctor
would meet with universal support.
Fletcher d. Proctor has the chance
of life time to rise above himself
and his friends and withdraw from
this canvass and make the nomination
of John G. Mccullough in the con-
vention unanimous.
