During the past two or three years
every democratic paper and speaker
has praised Senator Hoar. In a speech
in Massachusetts, last week Senator
Hoar said: Il have no doubt of the
patriotic purposes of many Of our DEM
ocratic brethren. / dare say that
some time they may be trusted with
power IN this republic without repeat
ing the mischief which they did when
they last enjoyed it. But the time
has not yet come" The senator does
not expect TO see another democratic
administration until the party is born
again, an event not in sight or II dicat-
ed at the present time,

Canning Factory Seems a Failure.

A meeting was called by the mayor
for last Friday evening in which q
representative of the Industrial Con
struction Company of Chicago pre-
sented a proposition for a canning
factory, to the effect that a factor,
be fully equipped by them for the
canning of corn, beans, peas, toma-
toes, etc., after which stock can be
bought If desired, and upon the pay.

over TO the citizens or stockholders.
The proposition was deferred until
Wednesday evening for further con-
slderation. A few dodgers were scat
tered over the city, but very little in
terest was manifested and there was a
very small attendance at the city hall

The bankers and ,financierS from
all parts of the Union who attended
the recent national convention of
bankers in San Francisco are 'gener-
ally of the opinion that the season of
prosperity which the country has en-
joyed for several years will continue
for some time longer. While it is adj
mitted that Wall street conditions
have caused some misrepresentation
and timidity, it is contended that the
general public has not suffered finan-
cially. As the president OF the Illinois
Bankers Association puts it. 1.-THE
losses have fallen on those who have
specialized in watered stocks. The
disturbed conditions in Wall street do
not indicate any serious trouble in the
banks throughout the country. The
worst of it being over, the future is
all the more encouraging" Natural
ly. the bankers from all parts Of the
United States are gratified at the re-
ports OF bountiful crops. The foreign
demand for our agricultural products
will bring great deal Of money into
the country. In the view of many
fnanciers one, Of the strongest fea-
lures of the situation is 1.-THE splendid
condition of the farming community, +"
The president of a Chicago bank is
quoted as saying that "the SO-called
Wall street crisis is largely matter

watered stocks" without sustaining
material injury,

With the democratic organization
of the five boroughs of New York City
under his control and backed by the
democratic machines in Erie, Rens-
selaer, Clinton, Albany, and probably
several other counties in the interior,
Charles F. Murphy stands ready to
grasp the domination of the demo-
cratic party in New York State. His
victory has been hailed with delight
by the enemies of David B. Hill out
side the city, who are eager to rally
to his support. Mr.. Murphy has al
ready expressed himself as favorable
to the nomination of former President
Grover Cleveland by the next demo-
cratic national convention. II be can
swing the democratic state convention
to Mr.. Cleveland he will crush the
presidential aspirations of Mr.. Hill
and eliminate Mr.. Hills friend, Judge
Alton B. Parker as presidential
possibility.

WALTER BROWNS ANNOUNCEMENT.

Walter Brown takes a column in the
Elkhart Review to announce that he
is going To make fight for the dis
t-:ct chairmanship. Over one half the
article is devoted to abuse Of Attorney
General Miller, Judges John 81. Baker
and Francis E. Baker. He says he is
entitled to reelection and intimates
that be will rule or ruin.
He seems to think that he is the big
gest man that ever held position in
northern Indiana. He places himself
away above Hon. L. w. Royse, Aaron
Jones, Judge Wilson. w d. Frazer,
A. L. Brick. George Holman and Rollo
b. Oglesbee. Elmer Crockett is the
only man that has held the position
of chairman of the 18th district
tw0 terms in the past twenty. four
years and he was elected because
nobody else wanted It.
The position has always been con-
sidered one which required work,
time and money for party success
without remuneration, consequently
prominent republicans made sacrifices
for the party when they accepted the
position.
Mr.. Brown abuses almost every
body except f. w. Boss, who be al
most positively declares is his political
partner.
The announcement destroys the last
vestige of hope in the minds of
Browns friends and they now wonder
thas they were eyer induced To sup
port him.

English newspapers are deyoting
more or less space to invectives against
1.-The American language, which, 1t
seems, is getting popular in London.
1t is not so much our slang which
they object to. but their souls are
stirred to wrath by the .'barbarous
American accent"
Some time ago the newspapers Of
this countryprotested against the Eng
lish accent. Now, If Englishmen
speak with an English accent and
Americans with an American accent,
who speaks pure English with a cor
rect accent? 1t appears from the
London critics that we talk through
our noses and pronounce many words
incorrectly. And, on this side Of the
water, we.xnow that the average Eng
lishman talks as il he had no nose at
ali, and pronounces many of his words
ludicrously. Which is more nearly
correct?
We give the full value to syllables
which the Britisher slurs. We say
"Saint John," but the Engllshman
calls it ''Sinjun, with the accent on
the first syllable. We say "Dook, "
while the English say "Juke." Which
is the worse? We confess to giving
an unpleasantly fiat sound to the let
ter ga" what the Englishman will
not confess is his worse offense in pro-
nouncing the same letter as II it were
'f." 81 sy, this is MAJESTY dy,
daon'ty knaow." says the Londoner,
commenting on the state of the
weather. But his vowels are in a
much .'nahstier" state.
OF course. we are prejudiced judges,
but on the whole we seem to have a
trifle the better III the controversy.

fish forces in Somaliland, was sur
prised recently by the arrival of three
army chaplains who had come from
England by way of Alden, the base for
the expedition to Somaliland. The,

been ordered by the British war de
partment to report to General Eyer
ton. AS most of the forces under his
command consisted of native troops.
the general was at a loss to under
stand why an Episcopalian, a Presby-
terian and Catholic chaplain, the de.
nominations represented by the clergy
M, n, had been sent him. He made
some inquiries, and found that the
quartermaster'S department had
among other things ordered three
"parsons. The CLERK in the British
war office in London, to whom was
given the order. had probably never
heard of ''parson, a celebrated Eng
liSh pumpmaker, after whom the
pumps take their name and are gen.
orally called parsons. The clerk
thought it meant parsons" in a rev.
erend sense. and hence the order for
the three parsons TO proceed to the
front. General Egerton's comment Oh

by which anyone having a license can
sell and evade being brought to justice
that individuals, families and com
munities will suffer, having no oppor-
tunity to protect themselves as under
the present law.
Men in Vermont are not as regards
the desire to make money, and espec-
tally those who will sell intoxicating
liquors for such a purpose, so very
different from men in the adjoining
state Of New York. Neither are men
who get into Office. who are to carry
out our laws so very different, for we
are all tinctured with humanity, and
the temptation to those who accept Of
fee in connection with the sale OF IL
quor is such, that experience has
shown that many, very many fall.
You have only to read the New
York American, OF date January u,
to see one case, among instances re-
ported in the papers Of that and other
states, almost daily, of how license
laws have been and are evaded under
law welcoming the saloon, and
where the restrictions are as stringent
as in the law presented for our con-
sideration in Vermont.
A new commissioner of police in
New York on his giving his attention
TO the selling OF liquor on Sunday,
the law being that no sales should be
made on Sunday, and being in this re-
spect the same as our provided law,
and he finding a bar with twenty five
TO thirty men drinking over it, called
at the station Of the policeman having
charge of the district TO look into the
matter. The officer was not in his
place, but being called in was not in
uniform and after being reprimanded,
was suspended from duty.
From the best authority and statis-
tics, it is known that where high Ii
cense and lOcal-option is the law, there
| are more violations of law than under
prohibition, and that many men, hotel
proprietors, summer boarding land
lords and others OF respectability,
having accepted the offer to sell in
! toXicants under legal sanction, have
been led TO do il to their own ruin,
financially and morally.
These results are largely found in
regard to the license law in Massachu-
sets, where the trainers of the law
profess TO have gone for a pattern,
| and where il is not carried out In
spirit or in the letter, the loop-holes
being so many that il offers many
chances to one in our prohibitory law
for the enticement of the Young and
the producing of liars and false swear
ers among the dealers and their liquor
loving friends. Should there not be
much thought given to this subject
and the point be well weighed in all
their bearings, before a voter shall
consent to cast his vote for the saloon.

Advertising Rates on Application.


The people of Manchester are hav-
ing trouble with various railroad
builders and promoters who wish to
run lines through one or more of the
villages of that beautiful town. The
objection is not to the transportation
facilities offered by the new road or
roads, but is due to the fear that the
natural and acquired beauties Of
streets and grounds will be- seriously
married, not only to the Disagreement
of the landscape but to the direct pc
cuniary loss of Manchester through
making the place less attractive for the
summer visitors who are the chief
mainstay of the town.
In this utilitarian age there is al
ways contest between sentiment and
self evident usefulness, and sentiment
nearly always gets the little end,
though the case at hand may result
differently inasmuch as sentiment and
possible profit are enlisted together
against plain sordid, utility.
The question seems to be not so
much whether sentiment shall finally
give way as whether sentiment shall
be allowed to have any voice whatever
in the matter. The plain truth is we
are so accustomed to seeing railroads,
telegraph and telephone companies,
electric light and gas concerns riding
rough shod over the rights of the pub
lie, that we almost forget to protest.
Whether or not corporations have a
soul is amooted question but most of US
have learned by painful experience,
that employees of wealthy and power
full companies, especially small bosses
clothed with a little authority, are
trained to insist that their employers
are always right and the public should
take whatever it can get and be thank
ful.
The result has been disastrous to
sentiment and aesthetic taste in public
affairs. The surroundings Of a rail
road yard a gas house or an electric
light station are usually a blot on the
face of the landscape and an otfense
that ought to be punishable by sixty
days in the house of correction but
such is the point to which the public
has been educated by corporation
tyranny that any complaint or ques-
ton is at once howled down as opposi-
tion to progress. "
