We believe that the more the Re-
publicans of Vermont think over the
position of Gen. Mccullough on the
prohibition question, the more they
will come to the belief that his posi-
ton is strictly honorable and that
the noise of the Proctor press is sim
ply to turn attention away from the
all-important fact that Gen. McCul-
Tough is, in experience, in ability, in
integrity, in scholarship, in all that
goes to make a model Governor, the
man whom the Republican party of
Vermont most delight to honor in
this year 1902. He will make an
able, digni6ed and polished executive,
of whom the State would be proud
and would be the peer of any man
who has occupied the executive chair
during the present generation.

A Good Word for DlIIlnaham.

Charles Emory Smith, editor of
The Philadelphia Press, former post
master-general, in an article to The
Saturday Evening Post, pays the
following tribute to a Vermont SEN
ator:
"The Chinese exclusion question
brought forward quite prominently
Mr.. Dillingham;, the new Senator
from Vermont. He was the one fig
ure ofthe discussion. Hisrecognition
come not so much from his speach,
though that was clear, direct and
effective, as from the evidence of his
careful and minute study of the
subject which was demonstrated
in his searching and comprehensive
amendments to the bill. Mr.. Dilling-
ham is a clear-headed and clean-cut
Yankee, with the hard sense of the
Green mountains and the Puritan
conviction of right. He will be a
useful legislator. 1t is an interest
ing fact that his immediate predeces-
sor, Senator Ross, who was only an
ad interim appointee, made the first
complete exposition Of the plenery
power of Congress over the new
acquisitions of territory. He came
into the Senate fresh from the bench,
and with his judicial learning he
massed the precedents and the de,
cisions in a complete and mastery
argument that served as the arsenal
from which subsequent expounders
largely drew their weapons"

troll of the paper until 1899, when
she sold it to her son, Ephraim Fl.

accompanied by her daughter Alice.
Her health improved, but this spring
it grew worse again and she had been
confined to her bed about three weeks,
nursed by her daughters and attended
| by Dr. Genge OF Hyde Park, with DR..

ton.
The members of her family surviv-
ing besides her husband, are four

how little power the executive has

can become a law only by being re-
passed by the national House and
Senate by vote of two to one. If

bill, it goes back and the same ma

repass it over his veto, if the major
ity is only one in each branch-the
