Convention on Reciprocity Lines is
Being Formed.

Washington, Sept. 25.-With the expec-
tation of being ready to present to Con-
gress at the opening of its next session
a fabric Of treaties between the United
States and Cuba, negotiations are pend
ing between Mr.. Quesada, the Cuban Min
lister, and the State Department with re-
gard to q commercial treaty, an extra
dition treaty and a treaty to adjust the
title to the Isle de Pines. 1t is the pur-
pose of Minister Quesada, 1t is stated,
TO draw up the commercial treaty on
reciprocity lines. The fate of such treaty
will depend naturally on Congressional
action ON the subject of Cuban reciproc-
ity.
An extradition treaty between the
United States and Cuba already has been
drafted. The provision for the establish

ted the Isle of Pines from the constitu-
tiona1 boundaries Of Cuba and left it's title

THE RESULT IN OREGON-AND
VERMONT.

1t is the off year in American cleo
tions and vagaries in results may be
expected in this State or that. The
Democrats have been felicitating
themselves on the circumstance that
in its late election Oregon chose the
Democratic candidate for the COVER
norship AS matter of fact, how
ever, the result in that June State
was an almost unprecedented victory
for the national Republican admins
tration. The Republican Representa-
tives in Congress were chosen by a
majority which it is believed will be
over fifteen thousand, and both bran
ches of the Legislature are two-thirds
Republican These facts of the election
were the true tests of the approval of
Republican policy-the vote by which
Democrat was elected Governor was
mainly a consequence of differences in
the party locally and was no test at all
of the abiding republicapism Of the
State
The duty that will be pressing with
the Republicans of Vermont from now
till the first Tuesday in September
will be to insure General Mccullough
the majority that will express the
party's unquestioned faith in the
administration at Washington, as set
| forth in the resolutions of the State
convention, and leave local issues
and the one dominating local issue
| where the convention, with the assent
and approval of all factions, placed it
with the Legislature Whether Glenn
ent men, or Proctor men, or McCul-
Tough men, we are all Republicans in
our devotion to the national party
| and it's policies. We have agreed to
submit local differences to the one
body which is competent to deal with
them-the Legislature There they
should rest They should not be in
truded into the canvass for State Off
GERS.

THE KINGS CONDITION.

The physicians attending the King
of England are expert i'll their pro-
fession, but they cannot with their
wits pierce the future as with their
lances they part the tissues of royal
flesh ana reveal the patient 5 malady.
They must themelves await the revel-
ations of nature in symptoms that are
favorable or are signs of danger. Nor
NAL pulse and temperature would be
ground for encouragement, as high
pulse and temperature, or a chill,
would be signals of the flight of the
last vestige of hope.
The operation was for appendicitis,
as is now declared and explained, but
was complicated by conditions that
ordinarily are fatal. Not only had
pus gathered, but decomposition had
gone so far that it was necessary to
remove a section of the bowel itself
and replace the removed part with a
tube-an operation which, under the
most favorable physical conditions,
with the patient III the prime of life,
would be attended with such peril as
almost to forbid the hope of recovery.
The age and bodily conditions of the
King do not supply the first requisites
of expectation of a favorable issue of
the surgeons work.

that the late operation was not in it.
self complete, but if the King survives
must be followed by another serious
operation for the removal of the tube
so soon as the patient would be able
| to bear it.
While the operation, it is stated,
revealed even a worse condition than
was anticipated regarding the parts
involved, the abscess had not burst
Therefore general blood poisoning had
not begun. But it was evident that
ing a radical cure by single opera
ion. The surgeon, therefore, dealt
only with the most critical phase of
the peril. From the usual effects fol-
lowing any operation the King has
rallied as we'll as could be expected.
The danger is Of fresh complications,
which are more than likely to arise
at any moment. Against these science
would be obliged to confess itself
powerless.

and local prohibitionists commend it's
usurpation of the law making power
of the Legislature. The county COM
missioner looks on with an apathetic
eye. He is of no more account than
a rush in the administration of the
agency. And what is true in Mont
pelier is true, it is credibly reported,
in other towns and cities.
The obvious remedy for the exist
ing conditions is the amendment,
not the repeal, of existing law, not
the substitution of license and local
option which are devices of the devil
of free rum. No control can be com
plete and entirely effective, but the
largest attainable measure of control
Of the traffic and its effective manage
ment in all its details ought to be
secured under the direct administr-
alton and supervision of the State
itself.

COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

The counties are reporting from day
to day and some interesting things
are happening here and there. For
example, in the Rutland county con-
vention, Mr.. Clement and Mr., Jones
being members and present which
means active-the Glenn
ent high license -local-option resolution
was voted down, the State conven-
ton resolution on the liquor question
having been put i'll as substitute and
voted up, in spite of the strenuous
efforts of Mr.. Clement and Mr. Jones
- which was all as it should be.
A prophet seems to be without hon
or in his own county-and therein
the county of Rutland is different
from the city. An old saying is to the
effect that man made the city, but
God made the country, which may
still be true if the letter is eliminat-
ed from country. The result in Rut-
land county, as we'll as in others, in

OF twenty-five Senators thus far
nominated, fifteen, including Frank

vote for the reelection of w. p. Dill

instruction. In few counties which
will nominate the remaining eight
Senators there is the prospect of a

KING EDW ARD.

The truth is out about the physical
condition of the King of England
Up almost to the very hour of the
public announcement of the fact that
the condition of Edward VII was so
critical that the only chance of life
lay in very dangerous surgical oper-
alton, too long delayed, those i'm
meditately about the sovereign were
maintaining that the rumors respect
ing his condition were without foun-
dation.
So the preparations for the corona
ton went on. The shock in London is
appalling. The people are profoundly
stirrd by the sentiment of loyalty, but
material things enter into the grief of
smany who have invested in mighty
preparations for gain from the coro-
nation ceremonies and pageant.
1t is a somewhat CHASTITY disclosure
that is coming under the seas from the
coast of Old Albion.

HATH IT'S CONVERSATIONS.

The press of the country fired ma
tional salute of approval-and put in
double charge of powder-over the
late promotion of Captain Clark of the
Oregon to the rank of rear admiral.
Two admirals from Vermont, in one
short war, is fair harvest of glory
and honor from the seas for State
without mile of seacoast.
After all, the long delay in the gov
ernment's official recognition of. Cap
tain Clark's great services in the late
war with Spain has its compensations.
The Importance, the heroic nature and
brilliant quality of his services, have
been brought out in stronger and
clearer light, in substance and in de-
tail, the work of the Oregon under
its great masters command is far bet
ter and more widely understood, than
could have been the case il rightful
promotion had not been so long block
ed in the navy department.
Not only this, but in the trying in
term from the Oregon's quarter dech
to final promotion, Captain Clark has
proved the Scripture true He thai
ruleth his spirit is better than he thai
taketh a city" The mans infinite
modesty, his moral greatness, have
been revealed and shine conspicuously

CRITICISM EASIER THAN CON-
STRUCTION.

The local option enthusiasts are
throwing their hats high and shouting
very loud. They say that the adoption
of the referendum plank by the Re-
publican State convention sounds the
death knell of prohibition. They
think the people Will make short work
of the prohibition law once they get
at it. This, howeve, is the enthusiasm
of untried strength. The license cam
paign so far has been one of attack
and criticism. The only attempt
worth noticing at constructive legis-
lation. of the license bill of 1900,
proved dismal failure Conference
after conference was held by the Ii
cense numbers of the Legislature and
the outcome was practically free
rum measure. 1t requires much
higher grade of craftsmanship to form
ulate new law than is required to
criticise and ridicule an existing law.
When the people of Vermont come to
face the problem of changing or mod
flying the prohibitory law they will
demand stronger arguments than
coon music affords.
A referendum means that the Ii
cense advocates in the next Legisla-
ture will be called on to do a little
constructive work. They will have
to frame license local option bill to
place before the people for acceptance
or rejection. Naturally they will want
to launch a bill which meets with
popular favor, and there is where the
rub will come. There are almost as
many different opinions as there are
different minds. Some favor a State
license law and will vote for local
option under no conditions. Some
want -, 600 licenses, others 81, 000
others 1900 or less. Some want one
license to 1000 poulation others one
to 500. Some will want the closest
kind of Sunday and minor restrictions
Others, particularly those who are tc
pay the licenses, will want just al
loose regulations as it is possible t.
secure.
Oh, no, the prohibitory law is no
entirely doomed. 1t is still infinitely
preferable to the Clement free run
bill of the last Legislature, and will
little judicious pruning may prove
as good as anything the next Legisla
ture can suggest. - Bellows Fall

King Alphonso, of Spain just turn
ed sixteen and crowned recently, is
planning to make the tour of Eastern
capitals or his mama and ministers
are planning for him to look fer a
bride among the divine rights people
of the continent. The young King is
frail physically and his guardians
de- ire to brace up his line by mating
him with robust princess of sound
and healthy stock. There are mar
riageable princesses galore in every
royal line of Europe, but his goliath
er, the Pope, is opposed to intermar-
riage which rules out some Of the
best candidates for the future queen
ship of Spain. The King may find some
Castilian maid having the required
rank and bill of health, or he might
