William Michael Byrne is always
He will have his little Joke.
In his speech accepting the nomina-
tion he said that he was sensible that
the honor he had just received was not
a personal tribute to himself. but a rec
ognition Of the work he had done In
the name Of all the gods at oncei When
did William Michael Byrne ever do any
work? AS United States District At
torney he has given a conspicuous ex-
ample of how not TO do it and il in any
position in life Mr. Byrne has ever
done anything we should be glad to
know il.
Mr.. Byrne. when you told that little
story about Henry c. Ellison only re-
eeiving fourteen votes for the office of
delegate to the Regular Republican
convention. didn't you know at the
time that Mr.. Ellison had declined to
allow his name to be used? Now
didn't you That wasn't pretty of you

There's something heroic about the
manned in which these Kent countians
who comprise the opposition to Ad-
dicksism, are willing to face certain
personal and party defeat in defense
of principles which they believe to be
sound and for the best interests OF
their county and State. Many of
Kent's best and most intelligent citi-
zens enter into the makeup of this
Regular division. and men of that cali
bre could not we'll do otherwise than
they on Tuesday resolved to do.-Dover

Hard to Understand

From the Delaware Life.
Seldom have I seen in politics a
more pitiful scene than that which oc-
CURED in the Federal Court room on
Tuesday, when Judge Bradford, from
the bench looked down and into the
face Of District Attorney Byrne. It
was. I understand, the first time they
had met face to face and eye to eye
since Addicks paid and delivered to
Byrne the price Of his conversion
to the unholy cause of Addiclsism, and
Addicks put his damning brand on
William Michael's forehead. Judge
Bradford was visibly affected, and
whether it was due to scorn and disap-
pointment, or the tenderest pity. OF
course j could not tell. When 1t is re-
membered how and through whom
Byrne secured the appointment of
United States District Attorney, it is
not improbable the thought went
through Judge Bradford's mind that if
he had dreamed Byrne could ever be so
ungrateful and disloyal to his best
friends. he would not be today repre-
senting the Government and be a part
of his court. and at the same time be
talking about indicting and throwing
into the penitentiary the seven mem
bers Of the Legislature whose con-
sciences prompted them to vote against
Addicks. who a few months ago he exc
Grated and loathed. but today admires
and serves. How is it possible for
Byrne to desire to continue to hold the
position given and entrusted to him in
trust by Colonel DUPONT and Judge
Bradford. and at the same time con-
tinue to glorify and worship Addicks is
beyond my comprehension.

Stories From Here and There
a Monkeys Sagacity

From Baroda comes a wonderful
story Of monkeys sagacity. A wild
langur monkey in the cantonment had
been mauled by a dog. After it had got
free this Intelligent simian made its
way to the hospital grounds, a quarter
of a mile distant. Here it rested in a
tree until evening.
At p. m, seeing the coast clear, it
quietly came down and went straight
into the hospital, where, without any
further hesitation, il took possession Of
a vacant bed.
The hospital assistant tried to turn
It out. but it was Of no use; and as he
could find no rule providing for the ad-
mission of monkey patients, met the
case by having the bed with the
monkey on It removed out to the YER
anda- The following morning the
medical officer. on his visit to the hos
pital, found that the poor animal had
been badly bitten. He ordered some
laudanum to be put into its drinking
water in order to relieve its suffering.
The animal drank It readily.
In the evening the doctor took lady

they were simply astOnished at the
manner in which it was making ges-
lures with it's hands as if heckoning tC

The monkey seemed to realize it wa,
being cared for. as whenever food o
water was given to It. it quietly lifte'
up one Of its hands and placed it gent

as to say. well. it is so good of you.

a Heroic Little Band
From the Delaware Life.

From the Delaware Life.
Some one tells me there were about
forty Regular Republicans present at
their county convention held at Dover
the other day. when they decided to
nominate full county and legislative
ticket. If this is true the Regular Re
publicans did better than any ether con-
vention that has been held at Dover
in recent years A convention of no
other party could bring one-third of its
following into a convention hall at a
given time. The Regulars Of Kent are
heroic little band who deserve all
honor Some of them have suffered
persecution in a business way and have
BEEN maligned and annoyed in every
conceivable fashion by the Addicl1sites.
Truly. they stood for principles with
no hope of reward.

As the representative of this State in
Congress. Dr. Ball did much and eff
fective work; not only this. for he had
time to make hosts of friends in WASH
ington by his honesty and his gentle
manly bearing. It is a poor excuse for
refusing to endorse DR.. Ball that has
been given by his enemies. They saw
he has sighted them in dealing out
offices; while the truth is, as has been
shown before. Congressman Ball. in the
total number of Federal appointments
he has recommended, has found places
for three times as many Union Repub-
lican as he has Regulars. To be sure
two or three places of some impor-
tance has been given to men loyal to
Republieanism as he knows it. For
this he should not be censured. The
fact is. men are not sent to Congress
for the sole purpose of filling Federal
offices. Nor is it surprising that when
there are places to be filed the repre-
sentative should suggest and support
men whom he has confidence in, and
and back Of whom he recognizes prin-
ciple.-Milford News and Advertiser.

For State Treasurer:
MARTIN D. BURRIS.
SUPPOSE

Suppose our politics we're conducted
in a normal and healthy manner, with
no more rascality than we could easily
detect and punish. and suppose there
should arise in another State, Mary
land for example. a condition which
We shall now describe.
Suppose there should arise in that
State an unscrupulous scoundrel who
had determined before he became a
resident that he would go there and
buy his way into the Senate. Suppose
he should buy a house just over the
border and take up his nominal resi-
dence there. and then announce his
candidacy for a high office; what
should we say?
But suppose he were known as hav-
ing made every dollar he owned in
shady speculation: that he had never
earned an honest penny. and that his
nnanciering from first to last, had been
a gigantic Skin game" with thousands
Of poor people as his victims. Let us
imagine man who had exploited COM
Danies In q half dozen cities and h
been kicked out OF each of them as a
pirate and robber: what should We
say?
Now let us suppose that he were
person devoid of all moral character,
that his private life had been scan

decent man aware Of the facts, could in
troduoe him 10 his wife and daughters;
and that to be his friend would be the
sign Of our own debasement. would we
still request the people Of Maryland 70
vote for him for senator?
Imagine that in the pursuit Of his
ambition he had acted on the theory
that every man has his price, and had
bought numerous leaders like cattle,
and lad nut in their hands thousands
Of dollars to be used as bribes for the
ignorant voters: and suppose that with
a few members of the Legislature he
had bought he should brutally hold w
the election of a senator other thar
himself. though that man had vas'
majority; would we approve OF it?
let us presume that in the pursuit o
his plans he contributes money to the
opposite party to defeat candidates o.
his own party. who were not of his per
sonal choice. and that he secures a Leg
islature more favorable TO his interests
but with not enough members TO elect
Then SUPPOSE he buys three or fou

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet Tells of Conditions Prevailing
During Last Week.
The weather continues to be too cold
for the sale of seasonable goods and in
consequence the retail stores are not
very active. The farmers are busy and
agricultural conditions are favorable.
The manufacturing industries through
out the state continue active and there
is no particular labor trouble reported,
although the carpenters and contractors
in Burlington have come to no perman-
ent agreement. Burlington reports the
wholesale business fairly lgoOd, mills
and factories busy and collections fair !:
retail trade quiet owing to weather. II
is understood that the contractors are
paying the carpenters for nine hours
work the same wages formerly paid for
ten hours :: this arrangement appears to
be only temporary, but a permanent
agreement will likely be reached soon.
In Bellows Falls the paper mills and
other manufacturing plants are very
busy, collections good, retail trade fair
and the hotel recently renovated is re-
ceiving large patronage. Ludlow re.
ing and retail lines, the chair factory is
shipping large amount of goods. Hard
wick reports the granite business very
good. the large sheds here having prac-
tically doubled their capacity and are
putting on cutters as fast as they can
get them rents are well occupied and in
demand. While the weather has not
been favorable for quarry work it is now
being pushed to full capacity. The slate
business at West Pawlet is good, quarry
working full force; retail trade good.
collections fair. Rutland reports bust
ness good in all lines; collections fair.
In ST. Adams business is about as usual,
although it is reported that the cold
weather has interfered with retail bust
ness. ST. Johnsbury reports the manu-
featuring interests well employed; no re-
cent changes in retail business or collec-
ton. The manufacturing business is In
good condition in BrattlebOro, other in
terests normal. Barre reports the "EX
change" as g tting along well; the
granite sheds busy, and collections as
usual. Manufacturing interests well
employed at Island Pond; retail trade
unchanged, collections fair.
