will be taken up and rushed through the
house under whip and spur"

James Phenicie former member of the
board of county commissioners. and q
well known resident of Reno township
was in Leavenworth yesterday. For
some time past Mr.. Phenicie's name
has been connected with the Republican
nomination for the legislature in the
Eighth district. Until yesterday it was
not known positively that he would be-
come a candidate. says the Leaven-
worth Times.
The entrance of Phenicie into the race
makes three cornered fight in the dis
trict between Phenicie. Hill and Hol-
lenbeck The candidacy of the last
named aspirant is not regarded as Sc
rious, as outside of the support he re-
ceives from Topeka politicians he has
but little strength.
A. ]. Hill of Fairmount township is
putting up a strong fight and the
chances are that he will carry Fair
mount and Delaware townships. Phen-
icie will get Reno. Tonganoxie. and
Stranger and Hollenbeck will probably
secure Sherman. and contest the Sol
diers' home with Phenicie. Many of
the veterans are receiving letters from
Topeka asking them to support Hollen-
beck, but as Phenicie is an old soldier.
a veteran of the Army of the Cumber-
land, an inmate of Andersonville and
Libby prisons for 10 months, it is believ-
ed the veterans will stand for an old
soldier
At this time it is believed that the
nominee will be either Hill or Phenicie.

Royalists Deny Responsibility
for Church Trouble in France.

Paris, Aug. 15.-The semi-official an
nouncement made after yesterdays
cabinet meeting that the royalists are
directing the agitation against the clos
ing of the religious schools In Brittany
has evoked considerable comment
Catholic leaders and the Catholic press
deny that the movement is anti-Repub-
ican- Count Albert de Nun, who with
Abbe Gayraud, is the guiding spirit of
the resistance in Finisterre, declares
that the movement is entirely spontan-
eous on the part of the people them
selves and that not an act or a shout
has occurred In Brittany to justify the
allegation that q royalfst conspiracy eK-
lists. Count Albert de Nun says the
Marsefl1aise has been sung everywhere
and that it is evident the government
is embarrassed by the situation and in
order to create a diversion, is seeking
to throw the blame on the royalists.
Francois Coppee in an interview ex-
pressed similar opinion in more violent
and picturesque language. The Patrfe
says it is rumored the government in

MinisterialiSt organs assert that the
government possesses curious informa-
tion as to the manner in which the
Breton peasants were deluded into be-
lief that they could successfully resist

science While applauding the legiti-
mate protests of the population who are
grateful to the sisters, we shall continue
to strive to prevent acts of violence.

has written letter to the editor of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, in an
swer to the question whether he was
a candidate for president in the next
campaign. Mr.. Bryan says in part:
II shall not be a candidate for the
presidency in the next campaign, and I
may add, / have no choice beyond the
desire to see some one nominated who
was loyal, not only to the ticket, but to
the platform in 1896 and 1900, and who,
if elected, could be trusted to stand by
the people in the struggle against Or
ganized wealth.
while no one can look very far
ahead or fOresee the contingencies that
may arise, 1 have no plans looking to a
denomination at any future time"

the ring in New London on August 20,
as originally arranged They will fight
Louisville on September Is. Represen-
tatives of the two featherweights de-
cided upon this at a meeting held at
Saratoga today. The reason for aban-
doning New London is that the officials
of the state of Connecticut have put the
ban on the fight, and even if the men
were able to come together this action
would likely keep the attendance down.
All forfeits will stand for September Is.

hotter than the night previous, when SO
many people suffered with the heat.
The redeeming feature last night, how

ness of the atmosphere.

The annual conflict between coal dig
gers and mine owners is now on. At
meeting of the workmen general strike
was decided on, which means that l45,-
600 men will be thrown out of work. 1t
is only fair to assume that of this num-
Der many are forced to strike against
their wishes. Thousands of these work.
men have practically nothing laid by
and hence their families will have to
struggle with hunger and poverty until
some compromise or settlement takes
place, which may be months. Most of
these have been on strike before and
know well what they will have to en-
dure. When they voluntarily vote to
sentence themselves to this condition it
is evident that something is wrong, and
that the coal trust needs investigating.
Coal miners are compelled to work for
starvation wages on one hand, and the
consumer is most numerically gouged
on the other.

Bailey for State Auditor.

The question of secretary Of state,
state treasurer and state auditor was one
which had seemed to be practically set
tied, Judging from the well-nigh univer-
sal comments of the press in favor of
Bacon, Fleetwood, and Bailey; but the
st. Adams Messenger this week springs
upon the public new name for state
auditors. w. Finn.
Well, this is free country. We don't
know why anybody hasn't right to be
candidate for any Office to which he
is legally eligible, and we don't know
why Finn is not eligible to the auditor
ship.
But how does it happen that, at the
eleventh hour and after the public mind
had become practically settled as to it's
preference for the authorship, this
stranger, whom nobody outside of his
native heath seems to know, should "bob
up serenely" and through his home pa
per announce his candidacy?
The state wants full-sized man for
this office, and if public sentiment is
fairly voiced through the press of the
state, Horace W. Bailey is regarded as of
the right size and quality of timber to
make an auditor who will audit. We
don't want any experiments in this de-
partment of public Whining
ton Times.

Pre-Memorial Day.



Since its institution in 1894 a con-
stantly growing interest attaches to the
observance of Pre-Memorial Day in our
public schools. Teachers, school officers
aud citizens are coming to appreciate
the invaluable opportunity that this day
offers to enkindle in the hearts OF chill
dren aud youth right civic sentiments
aud high patriotic purposes, which ever
make for better citizenship. The near ap-
proach of May 80 again reminds us of a
serious duty and golden opportunity. Any
teacher worthy to have charge of our
boys and girls will provide Loyalty for
the appropriate and inspiring observ-
ance of this day. The State Superin-
tendent of Education has sent out a
booklet of As pages as an aid to teachers
in preparing suitable exercises. About
twenty pages refer to the history and
life in Vermont, and contains much
matter of more than ordinary interest
A copy should have reached every

receive a copy, she will receive one 10y

The Republican state committee has
made beginning toward the regulation
of party caucuses. 1t has decreed that
this year a plurality vote shall elect dele
gates. This is the shortest and simplest
way to arrive at choice, and probably as
fair as it would be to require majority.
The committee has also ruled that a
check list shall be used, and none but
Republicans allowed to vote. We un-
derstand that the definition of who is a
Republican is to be left with the town
committees in the several towns. These
committees will have to determine
whether voter who merely states his
intention of supporting the Republican
state ticket this fall, whatever his previ
Gus political action, shall be allowed tC
take part in the caucus, or whether the
participants shall be limited to thost
who have heretofore been known as Re
publicans. A great deal of authority
is thus vested in the town committees
and they should be prepared to devot,
the necessary time and attention re
quired. We believe that good results
will follow the recommendations of tn,
state committee, if honestly put into
operation.-Randolph Herald and News

The people of Essex county will
heartily endorse the following from the

The Republican convention for the
second Congressional district of Yer
mont, to be held at Montpelier Wednes-
day, June Is, will be big ratification

in his first session has won his way more
quickly or more firmly than kittredge
Haskins. His training in the law, the
legislature, and other fields of activity
has been of great advantage in starting
his Congressional career. His standing
at Washington is already assured, and
by continuing him in office the second
district will get the best benefit possible
for itself and for the country at large
