The People are Satisfied.

Some of our contemporaries are try
ing to amuse themselves 10y an attempt
to blow the smoke from up country fires
in the direction of Proctor. They had
better not waste their energies, or tire
out their anticipations. A year and "a
half nearly must pass away before there
will be occasion for the people of this
state TO consider whether it is wisdom
to dispense with the services of the vet
eran in order to try the calibre of the re-
cruit. The people will in due time
take care that Vermont's influence in
national affairs, now most potent, is not
to be lessened for number of years yet.
The people know why it is that the
voice of Vermont is recognized through
out the land as the voice of wisdom and
discretion.

Too Great a Risk,

In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of collie O,
cholera morbus, often before medicine
could be procured or physician sum-
moned. A reliable remedy for these
diseases should be kept at hand. The
risk is too great for anyone to take.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rh@a Remedy has undoubtedly saved
the lives of more people and relieved
more pain and suffering than any other
medicine in use. 1t can always be de-
pended upon. For sale by j. w. Thnrs-

other grand addresses were given by
prominent public speakers and railroad
officials.
The officials of the A. Il. & S. +. Il.
from the President down, are Just work
ers in the Y. NJ. c. A., and are always
ready to aid the association in any way
in their power, and well they may be
for they appreciate the great benefit the
association has been to their system by
lifting their employees to a higher
standard and living. 1t is the duty of
the officials of all railroad systems to aid
this association, not only materially, but
by personally interesting themselves aud
visiting the class and lecture rooms
when opportunity offers, setting an ex-
ample which their employees will fol-
low, and to get men once interested in
the work will surely mean much better
men and higher class of service.
There are fine Y. Nj. c. A. buildings

one join and aid in the work and make
1t grand success. 1t is something we
should be proud of, it will give us
higher standing, and will be home for
