A Dead Mans Shoes.

It is understood that there are sew
cral ambitious politicians in the district
who would be willing 10 enter the race
i'm case the seat is declared vacant With
Nr. Moody gone. however. the probabili-
ties arc that the case viii not be as
vigorously pushed as IL would have been
had he lived. and Mr.. Gudger may be al
lowed to serve out nearly the whole
term before the matter is decided. Some
Of his friends believe that the contest
viii. after a time. be discontinued alto
pether.
A somewhat similar case existed at
the opening of the present Congress.
The late General walker had entered a
contest for the seat held by Judge Rhea.
Of the Ninth Virginia district. and died
before the case was presented 20 the
elections committee. The matter was
taken up and considered in the regular
course Of business but IL was found
that Judge Rhea had been legally elect
ed. and hence it did not become neces-
sary to declare the seat vacant.

Vermont Quenches Thirst.

An analysis OF the vote by which Yer
mont last week decided TO quench her
thirst OF nearly fifty years shows that.
generally speaking, the cities favored
the repeal of the prohibition law, while
the rural communities sought 10 have it
remain upou the statute books.
The submission Of the question to the
people was the result Of agitation which
has been going on in the Green Noun
tain State for many years. and which
was brought to an issue in the guberna-
to-iai campaign Of last year. when the
Republican party divided upon the prop
osition of local option OF prohibition and
each faction nominated a candidate.
While the regular nominee, the Hon
John Mccullough, was successful upon a
pro-prohibition platform. the State con-
vention which nominated him declared in
favor of allowing the people to vote upon
the question as % whether they favored
continuance of the anti-liquor law. or
desired one which would enable those
communities which wished licenses to
have thai privilege. and those which
preferred to remain dry TO likewise
have their wishes respected.

Smoke Law Hearings.
Two Sides to the Problem De-

English Friendship.
A True Note Struck by an En-
lightened Visitor.

Lord Charles Beresford's speech at
the Pilgrims dinner in New York the
other night struck a thoroughly
sane and wholesome note. There has
been much needless rhetoric spilled
both here and IN Great Britain over
the ties of blood and birth and Ian
guage which should array the two
great EnSlish-speaking peoples IN a
hard-and-fast alliance against the
other nations of the world.
For over-hysterical extraeagance Of
This sort Lord Charles Beresford has
no use. As an enlightened and pro
gressive Englishman, he sees every
reasonable motive for seeking and
holding the friendship Of the United
States. lie knows that British and
American interests are becoming
every year more and more closely in
tertwined, that amity between the
two countries has increased, and Is
destined TO increase, with the growing
intcrdependence Of the two nations IN
finance, industry, aud trade.
The true basis of friendship be-
tween them. he therefore rightly ar
gues, is natural. not sentimental.
