conservative as betit that simple and
sober sect. They are not "up-to-

The national museum is likely to be
enriched by a unique collection when
President Roosevelt returns from his
western tour. All along the line the
popular president has received numer-
Gus presents from admirers, and in
nearly every instance these gifts have
been representative of the locality in
which they were presented. At Shar-
on Springs, Kansas, Mr.. Roosevelt
was made the recipient of a young
badger and the animal now occupies a
place in the baggage car of the Presi-
dents train. This is bad enough but
Mr.. Roosevelt barely escaped being
obliged to accept a performing bear
at Albuquerque, New Mexico which
would have been several degrees worse
Other gifts are so numerous in the
baggage car that it is said the exclu-
sion of necessary provisions will be
forced if the people of the west con-
tinue to be SO generous. In the collec-
ton are Navajo blankets, horse hair
brides, bowls, platters, jardinieres,
bowie knives, stillettoes, antlers, a
bearskin suit, moccasins and many
other articles typical of the west and
southwest. Doubtless the President
appreciates and will enjoy these tokens
of affection bnt he could hardly be ex-
pected to give everything a place at
home and make the white house look
like Mexican curio shop, so they
will probably be placed in the mu-
seums for the present.

WISDOM FROM THE JUNCTION.

One of the new barrooms in Montpe-
lier has been fitted up for business at
an expense for fixtures of not less than
$500. The license fee is 81, 900. All
this in addition to the stock that must
be carried on hand. Who is going to
pay these expenses and the profit the
owner will realize? Not the wealthy
men who occasionally indulge in
drink, but the wage earners of every
class, those whose families should have
the money for the necessaries of life
or to lay by for " rainy day" The
barroom and the saloon are generally
the lmpoverishers of those who need
money the most. The Landmark.

GEN. GILMORE FOR GOVERNOR.

1t is the prerogative of the press to
call the attention of the people to the
next Governor in table of possibil-
tiles; while it may be that the man
who will ultimately be chosen has
escaped their notice altogether. 1t
would be unwise in the extreme for
all those who would be willing to
make great personal sacrifice for the
ell-being of the State, and submit
with marked reluctance to being chos-
en-, TO leave their valley and hillside
homes for week and go to the CAPT
tai to register and be counted, for it
would seriously cripple the produc-
tive energies of the State for this
year. 1t is better for us, brethren, to
name them one by one. 1t not only
gives us prestige as being possible
prognosticators, but it pleases them,
and does not in the least disturb the
populace following on in the even
.tenor of their ways, reading much of
the "press," and believing little of
what its columns proclaim. We have
name, which, in our opinion, would
be most favorably received through
out the State. Honesty, cleanliness,
ability and nobility, all not only sug-
gested but vouched for in the name.
All mentioned are good men. Bell,

but as yet less than fifty per cent of
the people know how to read and
write. In 1872 the average was 31.2
per cent. In 1887 the compulsory edu-
cation act went into effect, but 48. 3
per cent of the population are still ig-
norant of the two simplest branches Of
education. The Italian press expresses
great dissatisfaction at the result and
urges that the law be more strictly en-
forced.
