IRISH PRospEcT


The Irish land bin IL finally enacted,
is promising OF better times for the
Emerald Isle.
John T. Redmond. one of the fore
most OF the Irish nationalists, says of
the bill: IF II works. and II is conti-
IDENTIFY hoped Il will. there is no uues-
ton but that ii viii effect revolution
In the condition OF Ireland"
The Buffalo Courier, in commenting
upon the measure, rightly declares that
the fact that the bill has expeditiously
gone through :he traditionally conser-
vative House of Lords, In which many
large Irish land holders have seats, is
an enliyening demonstration that the
world moves. The same body strenu-
oasly antagonized and defeated Mr..
6ladstone's efforts in aid OF the un-
happy island, Now the spectacle has
been witnessed of measure more lih-
eral than any proposed. introduced by
u government composed OF Conserva-
tives and Liberal unionists, and passed
with the prompt assistance Of peers
formerly irreconcilable TO any advanced
policy of Irish administration, But the
lords have learned the value of dis
cretion. and no longer dare hold public
opinion in contempt"
Verify the world does move most po-
tently, as is evidenced by the revolution
OF feeling manifested In the House Of
Lords regarding the plain duty OF the
British government towards Ireland.

openly and above board that he is in
favor of the selection of Gov. Longino
for the United States senate. This
report can be traced to no source what
ever, but it is being used for all it is
worth. The friends of Senator Money
deny it as matter of course, and the
friends of Gov. Longino do not really
believe it. 1t has been understood all
along that the McLaurins were simply
hands off in this matter of the selec-
tion of candidate for the senate, and
it would be cause for very great sur
prise of they should determine at this
late day to take hand. -
''You can say and quote me as au-
thority for Senator McLaurin that is

and that the report is an absolute mot

call it. You can say further" con-
tinued the judge, "that hitherto Sem

hands off in this particular race, and
if he has intimated this preference at
all it has been to only few of these
very close to him. can say for him
that lie considers Senator Money one
of the ablest men not only in Missis-
sippi but in the United States senate
and that if he were to indicate pref
ference as between the two that pref
erence would be for Senator Money,
and not for Gov. Longino.

TO THE PEOPLE OF RANKIN
COUNTY.

In announcing myself as a candi-
date for tile House of Representatives. |
think it due, both to you and myself
to make statement by way of explain
alton. 1t is known to hundreds in
this county that have been solicited,
even importuned, during all the win
ter and spring months to become a
candidate for both branches of the leg
islatnre. At that time did not des-
ire to take either place, and have on
ly announced now under peculiar cir
cumstances to which will call your
attention. If only desire to be a
member of the legislature were all
which promoted me would not now
be asking your suffrage. But it is
more than that, always want to vote
knowingly and intelligently upon
every question, and I take it each in
dividual elector of the county has the
same desire. With this end in view
alone on June 18th, last addressed a
communication through the columns
of the Brandon News to the gentlemen
who were candidates for the legisla-
ture in which l respectfully asked
them this question:
'sWill you if elected to the legisla-
ture, support by voice and vote, bill
making reasonably sufficient appro-
priation for.tlle maintainance of the
old soldiers home at Beauvior, during
the four years of your incumbency as
member of said body? | was, and
am, vitality interested in that question,
and the whole people have become
more so of late years, and from the
incoming legislature they will de-
mand an affirmative response to that
question. I consider it my right and
yours, as electors to know the posi-
ton of every candidate asking our.
suffrage upon this, and any other
matter affecting the legislation of the
State.

cussion Of this and other questions

GOV. A. FL. LONGING.

Editor Clarion Ledger.
The phenomenally successful can
vass which Governor Longino is max
ing throughout the state has been a
matter of pleasant surprise to his
friends. Six weeks ago it looked like
Senator Money would have walk
over; today even his warmest advo-
Gates admit that his chances are doubt
full, while Gov Longino's supporters
are claiming the earth. 1t was thought
by many at first that Senator Money
would simply wipe up the earth with
the Governor on the stump, while the
actual facts have developed that the
Governor is much the strongest
speaker of the two. In the very ma
ture of things this must be true. Lon
gino represents the present and the
future; Money represents only the past.

any wonder then that the people of

is destined to- "a glorious future, to

DIR. WRIGHT RESIGNS.

Rev. Dr. j Edward Wright, for
the past thirty-four years pastor of the
Church of the Messiah in this city, has
rendered his resignation to the execu-
tive committee of the church, to take
effect on October l. 1t is expected
that the committee will meet on next
Sunday to consider the resignation.
1t is given to but few pastors to pre-
side for so long time over one
church. DR.. Wright first came to the
church in 1867 as temporary supply
in place of the psator, Rev Charles
"A. Allen, who was granted leave of
absence in that year. During his abb
sence Mr.. Allen resigned the pastora o
and Mr.. Wight was called to the
charge and assumed it in tine fall of
1869. His pastorate has continued
ever since and, with the exception of
one year, 1892, when he was granted
leave of absence and travelled abroad,
his work has been continued. Thus
far more than generation he has la
bored in his native town and in the
church of his choice furnishing an ex-
ample of devotion on the part of both
pastor and people that is rarely equaled
in the history of churches
Whether DR.. Wright will leave the
city as well as the church is not known
at present, but it will be the sincere
wish of all that he remain in the city
whose institutions and enterprises
nave always had a valuable friend in

COMRADES REUNITE ED.

Akin to a reunion of long separated
brothers is a meeting of two soldiers
who in the days of 81 to go marched
and fought together, and who, when
the war was over, drifted apart not to
see each other for nearly four dec
AIDES. Such meeting occurred in this
city on Sunday and it is certain that
the lives of two veterans will always
be just little brighter in consequence
of it,
Homer E. Goodrich of Marlboro,
n. H., and Horace N. Lawrence of
this city were comrades in Company
B of the 3rd Vermont. They were
mustered ont together and came home
together but soon separated and until
the meeting here had not seen each
other since that time. Mr.. Goodrich
came here to meet his sister. Mrs. l.
A. Belknap of Niagara Falls, who was
the guest of Mrs. S. e. Pattee. Mr..
Lawrence was notified that his old
army friend was there and went to see
him. In the meeting everything else
was forgotten and the veterans talked
over war days to their hearts con-
tent. On Monday the two had their
pictures taken together and when Mr..
Goodrich returned to his home on
Monday night both had had two
days experience that will not soon be
forgotten.

WILL BE COMPLETED.

The work of completing st. Mary's
cathedral at Burlington will be COM
menced the first of this week and will
be finished about Thanksgiving. When
the church was built the tower al d
the turrets were not completed, but it
was decided few months ago to have
the structure completed and bids were
at once advertised for. The lowest
bidder was the Granite Construction
Company of Montpelier and to them
the contract was awarded some four
weeks ago. Since that time they have
been getting their material ready at
the Proctor marble quarries in Proctor
and at Willard S ledge in Burlington.
The work will be commenced by eX-
tending some eighteen feet the turrets
that flank the east and west transepts.
These Will be constructed OF blue ham
mered faced marble and will taper to
point The base of these will be Of
red lime stone from Wizards ledge
The pinnacle will be extended and
finished in keeping with the rest of
the building. 1t will be solid stone
work about ten feet in height. The
tower will not be commenced until
after the celebration of the golden
jubilee of the founding of the cath
edral parish
1t is planned to have the distance
from the ground to the top OF the
tower l65 feet. 1t will be built of the
same material as the turrets and will
taper to a kind of pedestal upon which
there IS to be placed a statue of the
Immaculate Conception. The statue
will be of bronze and will be seven
teen feet in height. 1t will be con-
structed on a steel form and will be
of FURNISHED gold leaf The statue
will be hollow on the inside and there
will be ladder running from the top
of the tower to the head of the statue
to allow person to ascend to the top.
At the feet of the statue there is to
be a crescent formed by electric lights
and there will also be star at the
head formed of lights. These will be
lighted Oh the different feasts which
occur during thu year. When the
tower is completed it will be one OF
the highest in Burlington.

day the comptroller of the currency
has approved of the application for a
charter and the incorporators now
have sixty days in which to raise one
half of the capital stock of 500, 000
Already large amount of the stock
has been subscribed for, and if the in
corporators receive sufficient encour
agement the bank will be opened on
September l. There has been outside
offers for large blocks of the stock but
it is the wish of the promoters to
have as much of the whole as is pos
sible taken in Barre. Several offers
of locations for banking rooms have
been received but no choice has been
made.
