cast in Vermont for governor in 1900 was
$1,000. Governor Stlckney received 4S,441
votes, ]. II. senter, the democratic candi-
date received 17,i29 and all other candidates
had 1879 The republican candidates ma
jority over all his competitors in the last
governorship election was therefore 29,TS3.
II the total vote cast throughout the
State as a whole was the same as last year,
in the coming contest Mccullough could
yield 1900 republican votes to the boiling
republican ticket allow McGettrick the full
democratic vote and still have majority
over the field; for his total vote would in
that case be 34,4i1, while that Of the demo-
Gratis. boiling republicans and all other
tickets would be S2,65S. But there was no
particular State issue involved in the gov
ernorship fight in 1900 and the vote In the
country districts in particular will be much
more fully polled this year so there will be
net gain for the republicans.
The more the figures of the last election
and the present situation are studied the
more evident it becomes that, no matter
whether the democrats bolt their own tick
ct or not, the republican bolt will simply be
a disastrous boomerang for the misguided
self seeker who launched it for the purpose
of trying to wreck the republican party and
gain selfish end.

both senators one of whom is Congress
man Haskins OF Brattleboro. In the house
they had the Hon. j. D. Martin of Brat
tleboro. and Judge L. M Read of Rock
lngham Yet, besides these two, only one
from Windham county voted in favor of
a change of shire-twenty for Newfane,
three for Brattleboro
After a defeat SO Overwhelming, and with
greater reason for removal of the shire
TO Brattleboro then than now, such a pro-
posal ought not again, AT this time, to be
forced upon the attention of the legisla-
ture. If the shire Of Windham is ever to
be changed from its present convenient,
central location to the most populous cor
ner of the country. it should go where II
there is ever a considerable city in the
county, that city will stand-that is Bel
lows Falls. Bellows Falls is at the june
ton of important railroad lines has ex-
tcnsiVe manufacturing industries, which
are rapidly Increasing, and unsurpassed
facilities for generating all kinds of mo-
tive power. The population of Bellows
Falls gained more than 1900 during the
last census decade. Brattleboro lost more
than 200.
by the way. I noticed that the head
lines of your report of the Windham
county republican convention located it
in Brattleboro This was doubtless an
unintentional error-if not it was alto
Ecther too hopefully previous. The con-
vention was held at Newfane where all the
county conventions of our party have been
held for more than fifty years, and where
they are likely to be held for an indefinite
number OF years to come.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Question OF a Change.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

A report OF the Windham county republi-
can convention in a recent number of the
Free Press says, The liquor issue was
not the only one before the convention
There was lively discussion over the re-
moval OF the county seat from Newfane
to Brattieburo and the nomination OF {. ID.
Spencer is IA victory for the project"
The removal Of the county seat from
Newfane to Brattleboro was not an issue.
1t was not discussed or in any way alluded
to by any of the speakers in the conyen-
ton. Both the successful candidates for
senator were voted for by delegates from
towns strongly opposed to a change of
shire. 1t was not known to a large num-
Der of the delegates how one, at least, of
the candidates nominated for senator
stood on the question which your cores
pondent claims to have been in issue, nor
Is now known to them Mr.. Spencer OF
Wilmington the candidate whose nomina
ton Is claimed to be victory for the pro-
ject of removal Is committed in writing
IN opposition to 1t unless Brattleboro bears
all the expense, which Brattleboro does
not even propose to do In its notice of the
application to the legislation. But 1t has
never been OF any vital consequence how
the Windham county senators stand on
this question. The house controls 1t. Tho

The Philippine Friars.

The Spanish frlars, concerning whoce fu-
ture Governor Taft and Pope Leo XIII
have been comforting, are OF four orders
the Augustians Dominicans, R!colletos
and Franciscans, and there seems to be no
doubt that their treatment of the nativo
tenants Of their lands has beer character
lied by abuses such as have at frequent
periods brought reproach upon the mon
astic orders CT the Catholic church. The
friars in the Philippines hold upward of
10000 acres of the best lands In the archi-
pelago. These lands are occupied largely
by poor natives who, until the American
occupation, were compelled to pay rents
that they considered exorbitant and op-
pressive taxes levied by officials dominated
by the friar influence. Since the Ameri-
cans entered the archipelago the tenants
of the Spanish friars have enjoyed peace
and prosperity. But it is believed that the
return of the friars to their parishes would
threaten widespread disorder and violence.
1t is to prevent such conditions that the
United States government, acting solely In
the interest of the Filipino and without
any purpose to interfere in religious af-
fairs. seeks to buy the land of the friars
and distribute it in small aIlotments among
native tenants. To do this and to secure
the Withdrawal of the friars from the ISL
ands means peace and comfort for the peo-
pie and increased prestige and influence
for the Roman church That these objects
will be accomplished seems probable. The
Vatican as it is stated is willing that the
Objectionable friars shall part with their
lands on a fair valuation, and that they
cal agitation and that they shall not he
allowed to go back to parishes where they
might provoke trouble. The church au-
thorities however. are reluctant to order
'hc friars out of the islands. 1t is not i'm.
probable. however, that the purposes OF
our government may be accomplished with
the acquiescence Of the church though
without its positive action. The friars
against whom complaint is made are near
" all assembled in Manila whittier they
have fed from their angry parishioncrs
They cannot return to their former parish
es without the protection Of the United
States, aud this can only extend to the Sc
curlty of their persons. 1t cannot compel
their acceptance as religious teachers.
The church authorities may conclude
that the places Of the absentees shall be
given to secular priests acceptable to the
natives. Then, with the enforced sale OF
their lands and the destruction Of their pc
litical influence, the friars may solve the
problem by leaving the islands of theil
own accord. This may be the real desire
and expectation Of the Vatican. If so. tht
transfer Of negotiations from Rome to Ma
Mia and the delay necessarily incident
thereto would not be particularly open tc
criticism.

A False Charge.

The Burlington News, in a three column
leader, defends the Clement bolt and ar
raigns the Republican party OF Vermont
with a bitterness and reckless disregard
Of truth, which must largely defeat its OBJ
ject, The following paragraph is n sam
pie:
The Republican party a long time ago
put 1t out of the power Of the people to
amend their organic law except at decen-
NAL periods and those periods have regu-
larly passed by without the submission of
important amendments. Why? Not be-
cause all the people have been asleep The
newspapers and the wide awake people
have called for certain important amend
ments with great persistence and energy.
Did they get them? No. The republican
legislatures have regularly cast out such
suggestions with contempt. Did any free
people ever before put IL absolutely out of
their own power to change the organic law
which they themselves made for their own
government. except at certain periods ten
years apart? The Republican party Is re-
sponsible for this condition.
Now every intelligent vermonter knows
that the change of the constitution in 1870
by which the present cumbrous and ex-
cessively difficult method of amending the
constitution was instituted, was In no wise
q party measure, and the Republican par
,fy 10 no more respopsible for 1t than the

RURAL DELIVERY AND TRADE
(From the Hartford Tlmes)

CFrom the Hartford Times)
The country storekeepers in New York
have found out what IL means 10 thom %
abolish the rural postoffioes. a despatch
from Albany says:
The country storekeeper now has another
source of complaint The rural mail deUv-
cry was hailed with delight when II was
first placed into operation, Now the coun-
try storekceper is grumhling because It Is
injuring his business. Under the ola postal
regulations the farmer went 10 the village
for his mail, and just so sure as he went
he left some money with the storekeeper
Now he remains at home, never going tc
the village, except in cases Of necessity, en-
listing the services Of the mail carrier e
do some little chores which he desires
From the interior counties comes the cry
that business has fallen off greatly since
the establishment of the free mail delivery
and the merchants are discussing plans &c
bring about better trade.
In the New England villages TINS fac'
was discovered some time ago. and the TO
suit is that rural free delivery is very I'M
popular proposition in great many coun'
try towns and villages Tho abolition OF
the country postoffce takes away an i'm
portant institution. nor does the carly de
livery of the mail to rural residents com
pensate for the other advantages which
are provided by an office which is open al
day long to all Corners, and is the natura
and accustomed feature of the store II

What Vermont Democrats May Do.

The democratic Hartford Times ventures
the opinion that the republican bolter III
Vermont may receive two or three thou
sand democratic votes on election day. In
view of the fact that the Vermont demo-
Gratis have called in their platform for the
direct and immediate repeal of the prohibit
tory law and the substitution of n license
and local option law, whereas both the reg
ular and boiling republicans have demand
ed a referendum, the probability is that
when the voters have time to think over
the situation carefully, they will zee tina,
both republicans and democrats have abso-
lutely nothing to gain from boiling. On
the contrary the democrats have taken the
logical position from their point Of view, and
it would not be surprising If boiling repub-
| licans We're later found supporting the
democratic plank demanding the immediate
substitute Of license and local option fol
prohibition without the intermediary Of the
referendum.
| 1t can readily be seen, however, that II Is
immaterial so far as the general result Is
concerned whether McGettrlck loses 2.00t
entailed by the transportation of soft coal
votes or 5000 votes to the republican bolter
since they will in either event be cas-
| against General Mccullough. who mus
have a majority over all. Even II J00
democrats were to bolt their ticket for an
other bolter, that number would still fal
far short Of the so per cent which the rene
gade republican boosted he would win from
the democratic candidate, after PRACTICAL,
splitting In the faces of those democrat,
who courted fusion with him and showing
plainly that he thought he could use thu
democrats by appealing to their license
sentiment to promote his own selfish inter
ests.
A few figures in this connection may hell
to clear the situation. The democratic
vote for ]. II. Senter for the governorshiI
in 1900 was 17.l29. II so per cent OF thes'
democratic votes were to be cast for tho in
dependent republican this year as he boast
fully and insolently asserted instead Of fo
McGettrick, the bolter would receive 10, 10
democratic votes instead Of the 1900 o
5000 predicted for him. But the change o
democratic votes either way between thu
democratic and boiling republican candi
date does not affect Mccullough.

A republican boltcr predicts that Mr.. Nc
Gettrick's vote for governor will be smaller
than the vote given any other ticket nom
mated by the democrats of Vermont since
the war. The wish of the aforesaid r. b.
may have been the father OF the thought,
to a certain degree; but straight repubi-
cans will hardly quarrel with him in any
event small democratic vote will not
help republican bolt in any way, while
OIL the other hand 1t will surely figure to
the disadvantage OF the Democratic party
Of Vermont in connection with national
affairs IS well as in the representation OF
the democratic organization of the lower
towns in future party councils.
While some Of the men who have boosted
of the glorious record Of the Republican
party in national affairs are suddenly will.
ing to ignore its welfare for the sake Of
promoting selfish interests, the republicans
of Vermont realize that in the coming state
election they will not only be working fol
