Mr.. Stone would himself be a recep-
tive candidate but that proposition he
pretends to regard as a joke.
XIX
A most unsavory condition of affairs
has developed IN the Postofice De
partment and one that is likely to
bring grave dscted,l on the republican
party. The affairs began with the in
vestlgation of the "Ge,-Rich Quick"
schemes and their relations with the
legal division o(the department. The
work of the secret service mnn brought
to light scandal Of huge proportions
and many of the officials are involved.
Postmaster General Payne, who is
always loath to make enemies, has
left the city after reluctantly saying
that he would stand back of any act
of the First Assistant Postmaster
General, Robert Wynne The Presl-
dent has been informed of existing
conditions and has ordered that the
matter be probed to the bottom.
The first tangible evidence of an up
heaval came in the resignation of Mr..
Beavers, superintendent of the divi-
sion of salaries and allowances, but IT
is intlmated that other and equally
important designations will be foIth-
coming IN the next few days. Dis
honesty and immortality to a shocking
degree have already been discovered
and persons on the inside say that i
the facts ever reach the public they
will be found to equal those in the
Cuban postoffice at the time tina
Estesg Rathbone was sentenced tt
the penitentiary in fact, it is intimateC
that the present gang was involved II

watered, to supply the church socla
bles of community through all fall
and winter and not BE- exhausted. In
making your garden do rot forget
your church.
An electric plant will prove an ex-
cellent bit of forethought. Horse
radishes are now no longer IN vogue,
and an au,o-radish is about to be
placed upon the gardeners list; con
sequently an electrlc-plant will prove
a useful adjunct.
Sugar beets, cucumbers, and vloIels,
planted togethe,, will result IN sweet
pickles of delicious flavor and aroma.
Dutch tulips and Spanish onions are
better apart, and if the French kid
ney-beans and the IRISH potatoes are
separated it will conduce to harmony.
Harmony-the aesthetic side OF the
garden-should not be neglected.
Don't attempt to accomplish too
much. Don't have too large gar
den-but, nevertheless, cover all the
ground possible. This may soun |
paradoxcal, but by SO doing you will
speedily ascertain in what direction
to proceed. Only experience will
teach you fully. If garden two
doors west has lettuce, assuredly it is
folly for you to have lettuce in y0w
garden.
Variety is the spice of life, and
ingenuity will make poor soil bear
wonderfully. In fact, given ingenuity,
the variety will follow. A man ]

London Times.

LONDON, March 30.-The Times

In an editorial article the Times says
these messages mark the establishment

The paper announces that the day

PROGRESS AT WATERBURY.
Five TroiIey strikers Held For Trial.
Others to lie Examined.


WATERBURY. Conn, April DE
cidcd progress was made yesterday in
the police court during the trial of the
eighteen men charged with assault
with intent to kill William Mcrna and
George Morrisette, conductor and mo-
torman respectively of the trolley car
which was attacked by n band of
masked men on the night of Feb 26.
Five of the trolley strikers, Edward Il.
Winnegar William Nandcrmark, Clif-
ford Nandermark, Harry w. Warren
and John Brearton. were bound over to
the next term of the superior court un-
der bonds of $4,000 each, probable
cause having been found by Judge
Peasley. The remaining thirteen pris-
oners will be urraigncd in court today.
The surprise of the hearing was the
announcement made by the attorneys
for the defeAse at the conclusion of
Winnegar's trial that they put in nc
defense, Prosecuting Attorney Durani
having previously warned them that
the testimony in the first case would
apply to the other four men.
A portion of the testimony of every
witness. which caused considerable
comment was the positive statement
of each man that he had been promised
immunity from punishment by Colone
Burpee and others provided he TOLD
what he knew about the assault.

connection with his assuming office ex-
cept the immediate tender of his resig-
nation by the chief inspector of Gus
toms, which had been placed in the
hands of the deputy collector to take
effect on the colored officials entrance

Crum's exercise of the duties of office

been brought to the notice of the may

Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
"teens are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness andnervous-
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
1t is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
of the blood sickness from

Senator Stone of Missouri takes a
hopeful view of the situation. He
says that he is convinced that Mr..
Bryan has no desire for the nomin-
alton himself, although he would not
of course desire to see the policy for
which he stood repudiated by the
nomination of anyone who openly OPP
posed it. On the other hand, in
Senator Stones opinion there are
many men in the democratic party
who would make excellent presiden-
tial timber and 1t is "poor business"
for the democrats to engage in the
elimination of men regarded as having,
in the past, erred In loyalty to the
platform. Mr.. Stone also says that

Rev. o. r. Miller of Holyoke, Mass,
|s in Vermont at this time and is tell :
'ng the people of this state how the
cense law works in Massachusetts,.
n his address Mr.. Miller shows that
lolyoke, which is a license city, with
+ population of about $4,000, sells
lore liquor in its licensed saloons
pch year than is sold in all the agen-
es in Vermont, which has a popula-
on OF over seven times that of Hol-
Pike. In addition to this Mr.. Miller
ates that Holyoke abounds in un-
Fensed dives similar to those in
hich liquor is sold in this state. Do
Q people of Vermont want a license
" which will continue the dives
now have and add to the sale of
nor through the licensed saloon?
not, then vote No.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1903-01-26

what's the difference between an
open saloon and an open state store ?
-Enterprise and Permonter.
To maintain that there is no differ
ence is to take the position that a
man will make no greater effort in
making sales If the profit is to go into
his own pocket than If working on a
salary with orders from his employer
to sell only to certain people and un-
derstanding that only by following
instructions can he hope to remain in
office.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1903-01-26

The provisions of nearly all license
laws are so strong against the sale of
Intoxicating liquors to habitual drunk
ards that all saloon keepers must do
one of three things, namely: Break
the law, make large number of new
converts to the drink habit, or go out
of business. As they do not go out of
business while license is in force it is
safe to say that they either break the
law or make new converts to the
drink habit, presumably both.

San Carlos SheIIed.
Three German war vessels supposed
to be the Panther, Vineta, and Fake,
began Smelling the fort of San Carlos.
Venezuela, at half-past ten O'Clock
Wednesday morning. The fort re-
turned the fire. The roar of the guns
was terrible. The Panther appeared
to be not more than 500 yards from
the fort. Her guns were being fired
every minute. The fort could not be
seen for the clouds of smoke, but it
was plain that the Venezuelan gun
ners were answering the German fire
sPlendidly and with great rapidity.
AT loo O'Clock in the afternoon an
explosion occurred, apparently in
the fort, and dense cloud of smoke
covered part of the ramparts. A
number of Indian fishermen were in
tercepted fleeing from the direction
OF the fort in their dugout canoes.
They reported that the smoke seen
was from the burning village of San
Carlos, which had been shelled by
the German ships and was in flames.
The Smelling OF San Carlos has caused
much excitement among the German
residents of the port who have pro-
tested against the action of the war
ships.

We think the weakest argument
ever made for the introduction of the
licensed liquor traffic into Vermont
Is the familiar one that it will "make
business better" Can any advocate
OF license tell on what basis of fact or
reason this idea is based? The liquor
traffic produces nothing. 1t does not
make more crops grow. 1t does not
make the laboring man do more work
or increase his wages. How then can
the drink bill OF the state be increased
and there still be more money left to
buy food, clothing, education, recrea-
ton, or for any exchange that tends
to keep the wheels of legitimate busi-
ness moving?-Brdttleboro Phoenir.
