The Wedding Gift.

It is a golden rule to. send a wedding
gift in good time, the first to arrive be-
ing much more appreciated than that
which is one of the many pouring in
from all quarters during the last week.
BY adhering to this rule n will be
saved the annoyance of hearing that
the saltcellars are charming-the third
set already received.
A month before the wedding day is
not too early to send the present, which
should be accompanied by a visiting
card.
The package should be addressed to
the bride, IL n is intimate with the
happy couple. and to the brides house,
addressed to the bridegroom, IL it is he
with whom one is best acquainted.

Your Cousin in the Summer Time,
Henry" l<,a @t r. st
There are 6 great many people who
do not think much of the farm as a
summer resort. They prefer the NOUN
tain or the seaside or the lake where
there is more dyspepsia and other So
cial advantages. They want to go
where there is more intensity of inter-
est and less homemade biscuits and
dialect. They prefer to take their sea-
son of rest some place where it is cas-
Ter to become poverty-stricken and
harder to find time to sleep. In short,
they do not regard the farm as a sue
cessful summer resort because they do
not think it affords enough excitement.
In this latter respect we believe they
do the farm an injustice. We remem-
Der that the first day we eve visited
a farm in the capacity. of a tourist we
found almost more excitement than
we could consume. 1t was some years
ago and we opened the exercises in the
morning by attempting to slide off
the top of a corn crib on a narrow and
in evading us just as we had begun to
slide. AT 10 a. m. we climbed to the top
of a three-story apple tree, became
fast and were unable to return to earth
until ! p. m. At 3 p. m. we obligingly
let down the pasture bars and allowed
about $3.50 worth of live stock to wan
der at will through a poetical field Of
golden, waving grain. At 4p. M. we fell
out of a hay NOV onto the back of a
sorrel and s~ad-hearted horse who
seemed at a loss to understand why W.
did so. At 1880 p. m. we were induced
to try to hold a robust calf by the tai
out in the barnyard. We did notthinl
that we could do SO and were greatly
surprised, therefore, when we fount
ourselves able to hold the calf not only
in the barnyard, but down the lane
and out into the road and up through
the gooseberry orchard and over thu

The plank in the Republican plat
form which calls for the enactment of
law regulating primaries or caucus
es is timely. and meets a situation
which has developed during the recent
canvass. But the legislature ought
not to stop with the passage of a
caucus law 1t ought to cover the
whole ground, not only of the prim-
aries, but Of the elections. The law
ought to compel every man who be-
comes a candidate for any state office,
or for election to Congress. to file
a sworn statement showing what mon
ey he has spent and for what it was
spent to secure his nomination and
election. II needs no argument to
prove that such a law is called for.
The fact is apparent to everybody who
has lived in Vermont during the last
three months.

Democratic Harmony.

Bryan and Cleveland are falling on
each others necks,-with both feet.
In reply to Cleveland's address in New
York last week Bryan said there can be
no such thing as harmony between such
men as Cleveland and those who be-
lieve in Democratic principles. Bryan
says the Democratic reorganizers do
not want harmony, but control. At
one point he breaks out as follows:
He (Cleveland) secured his nomination
in 1897 by secret bargain with the finan-
ciers; his committee collected from the
corporations and spent the largest cam
paign fund the party ever had; he filed
his cabinet with corporation agents and
placed railroad attorneys on the United
states bench, to look after the interests
or their former clients. He turned the
treasury over to a Wall-street syndicate
and the financial member of his official
FAMILY went from Washington to become
the private attorney of the man who
forced CD the treasury department to
sell him government bonds at 105, and
then resold at III. He tried to prevent
the adoption of the income tax provision,
vetoed the only tariff reform measure
passed since the war; and while thunder
ing against the trusts in his messages,
did even less than Knox has done to in
terfere with their high-handed methods
His administration, instead of being
fountain of democracy sending forth pure
and refreshing streams, became a stag
nant pool from whose waters foul vapors
arose-poisonous to those who fingered
near Having debauched his party, he
was ofrended by its effort to reform and
save comfort 10 the enemy Virginus
killed his daughter to save her chastity:
Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent
It's return to the paths of virtue And
now, still gloatng over his political
crimes, he invites the party to return
to him and apologize for the contempt
which 1t has expressed for him. Will it?
Not until the principles of Jefferson are
forgotten and the works of jackson cease
to inspire.

The County Convention.

The county convention, to be held
at Newfane next Tuesday, will prob
ably have the usual amount of local in
terest, but 1t seems not likely to de-
velop any exciting features. In this
end of the county the chief interest
will centre in the choice of a candi-
date for senator 1t is understood
claim to the Office at the coming ses-
sion, and that the right of Wilmington
to name the candidate, if that town
chooses to present one, will be cheer
fully conceded. The only name prom
inently mentioned is that of G. d.
Spencer of Wilmington. Mr.. Spencer
is known throughout the county as
a man of high personal character, of
proved business ability, of sound judg-
ment. and qualified for the senatorial
Office by a term in the house. On
the temperance question he is a pro-
hibitionist from lifelong conviction, but
he recognizes the situation presented
today, and, if a member of the legis-
lature of 1902, would favor the enact
ment of license and local option law
to be submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie. Anthony F. Schwenk of Brat
tleboro is the only candidate suggest
ed for states attorney, and he will
receive the unanimous nomination. as
he ought No change will be made
in the Office of sheriff, and we do not
learn of any intention to change
either of the assistant judges
In the north part of the county it is
understood that the town of Rocking
ham will present J. l.. Divoll as it's
candidate for senator, and, unless new
developments arise, the choice of that
town will doubtless be accepted by the
convention. The most interesting
contest in that end of the county will
apparently be over the choice of
successor to the late Lavant NJ Read
as Judge of probate. z. H. Allbee,
longtime register of probate, is a can
didate for the Office. 1t is stated that
II. d. Ryder and G. A. Weston are al
so active candidates, while f. A.
Bolles of Rockingham and A. E. Cud-
worth of Londonderry are mentioned
as probable candidates. Mr. Allbee
has been appointed by Gov. Stickney
to fill out Judge Reads unexpired
term. Mr.. Allbee has had long famil-
iarity with the duties of the office.
He possesses the necessary legal
equipment for their performance, as
well as the public confidence as a man
of integrity of judgment and action,
and it would be in accordance with
the usual rule of promotion were the
delegates to endorse Gov. Stickney's
action and give Mr.. Allbee the nomina-
tion. But in the decision of this ques-
tion the delegates from the Marlboro
district will have no voice.

We suppose there is no doubt that
any man who accepts an election to
the legislature this fall, either to the
Senate or to the House, will do so with
the understanding, unless otherwise
plainly stated, that he accepts and will
support the plank in the Republican
platform which declares in favor of
"ascertaining the will of the people
by direct vote upon the acceptance or
rejection of a license and local op.
tion law regulating the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors" The purpose of the
Legislature of 1902 ought to be to enact
the most carefully drawn and re-
strictive license and local option law
that can be devised, to be submitted
to the popular vote. Toward the en-
actment of such a law men of pro-
nounced prohibition principles may
lend, and, if members of the legisla-
ture, they ought to lend, their hearty
support without sacrificing any per.
sonal principle or conviction.
