While the sympathy of the Ameri-
can people is largely with Japan in
her contest many will not forget that
Russia has been the friend of this
country from the Revolutionary war
to the present day. During the Civil
war, at the time of the greatest crisis
in our national history, when Eng
land and France were doing all they
could to help the south, Russia stood
boldly forth as the friend of the ma
ton and her moral support at that
time was of great value to this gov
eminent.

Russia and japan are now face to
face with the stern realities of war.
Japan, tired of Russia's waiting game
in which she has been constantly
strengthening her position, has taken
the initiative and already badly Grip
pied that part of the Russian navy To-
cate1 in Eastern waters. In attacking
Russia before she could bring her
great reserves to the front Japan has
adopted the ouly course by which she
could hope to win.

Secretary Hay has asked England,
Germany and France to join with the
United States in advising Russia and
Japan that no Chinese territory other
than Manchuria shall be invaded. In
this way the Chinese empire may be
maintained intact. This seems the
best policy at this time as an attempt
to dismember the empire might lead
to a general European war. However
if the 400, 600 Chinese should ever
awake from the lethargy which they
are in and become as aggressive as
the japanese now are they would be
a constant menace to the civilized
world and European powers might
regret that they failed to dismember
China while they could.

According to the HdrdWick Gazette,
the prohibitive side of the license law
has been tried and found wanting in
Hardwick. The Gazette says that in
spite of the mo" vote there has been
no enforcement of the law, and the
liquor dealers in the village have been
doing a thriving business all of the
time without any income being de-
rived by the town as result, so it
makes a plea for "Yes" vote in
March in order that the other side of
the law may be tried. In Rutland,
Joseph Jones and others want the
city to vote "No'' because the law has
not been enforced under license.
People will learn sometime that no
law will enforce itself. Somebody
must work, and work hard, if either
license or no license towns are to see
the law lived up to.-Montpelter Jour
nal

Baltimore was visited by one of the
most destructive fires in the history
of the country last week in which
property to the value of 100000, 900
was destroyed. The stricken city is
receiving expressions of sympathy
and offers of aid from all over the
country. The people of Baltimore are
equal to the occasion, however, and
while the city will be crippled for
some time the district which was
burned over will be rebuilt and bet
ter protected and more beautiful city
will be the result.

HOW HYOMEl HELPSTHE HEALTH
Kills the Germs Of Grip. Catarrh
and Colds, "Costs Nothing If 1t
EaItS >, SoxS III C Piarcn

Kills the Germs Of Grip. Catarrh
and Colds, "Costs Nothing If 1t
Fails" says Ill. G. Pierce.
Now that Hyomei can be obtained
in nearly every town and city in the
country, it is possible to buy from
druggists health-giving climate, to
be carried in the purse or pocket.
By breathing il few minutes four
times day you can soon cure grip,
coughs, colds and even the worst
and most chronic cases Of catarrh.
H. @. Pierce has seen so many re-
markable cures made by the Hyomei
treatment, that he sells it with the
positive agreement to return the
money if it fails to cure.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
consists of the pocket inhaler, medi-
cine dropper and sufficient Hyomei
to last several weeks.
1t effects a cure in the worst ca
tarrhal troubles and if breathed at
the commencement of cold or the
grip, will check it quickly and prevent
sickness. Extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for SOC.
When breathed through the inhaler,
the germ-killing and health-giving
Hyomei goes to the most remote cells
of the throat and lungs, killing all the
catarrhal germs, soothing the irri-
tated mucuos membranes and vi
talizing the blood with ozone.
At this season of the year, every
one should have Hyomei outfit to
prevent and cure catarrhal troubles,
and ward of attacks of grip, pneu-
monia and similar germ diseases.

On March 1st the people of every
town in Verm mt will be called upon
to determine if licenses are to be
granted for the sale of liquor in their
town. II your town will gain by open
ing a saloon in prominent place, if
YOU will have better schools, better
morals, more money in savings banks,
if the expenses of your town will be
lees, if the open saloons will make
less drunkaris in your community,
then vote for license. If, however,
you believe that with the open saloon
the conditions will be exactly oppo-
site, then vote against license. Re-
member that YOU are to determine
what the conditions are to be. If you
stay away from the polls because YOU
are Disguised with the law you have
no right to kick because your towr
votes for license and the evils result
ing from the same should be laid al

JAPAN AND RUSSIA AT WAR.

War is on between Japan aud Rus
sia. The first blow has been struck
by Japan and she secured "first blood"
from her larger, but slower, antag-
opist.
At midnight Monday, Japanese tor
pedo boats approached the Russian
squadron lying unsuspectingiy out
side the harbor at Port Arthur and
succeeded in seriously ipjuring two
Russian battleships and one cruiser,
making their retreat without harm to
themselves. Tuesday forenoon, a
feet of 16 Japanese battleships and
armored cruisers approached Port
Arthur aud bomb arded the forts and
the Russian squadron for several
hours, finally Withdrawing. The
Russians suffered a small loss in
killed and wounded, and two of their
| vessels were puuctured below the
water line. The Japanese were ap-
parently uninjured, as the Russian
| fire fell short.
The japanese are pouring large
numbers of Troops into Korea, and
have occupied all the potts and
strategic points in the eastern and
southern part of the peninsula.
Heavy Russian forces have also been
despatched to the territory along the
Yalu river, the boundary between
Korea and Manchnria. AS yet, there
has been no formal declaration OF
war from either combatant, but one
is expected Immediately. In Russia,
it is a5 last fully understood that the
empire is face to face with war, and a
grim determination to crush little
Japan is evinced. Heavy reinforce
ments will at once be sent to the East
over the Siberian railway, and all
preparations made for pushing Wig
orous contest.
The summary of the losses sus-
tanned by the Russians during the
first "a hours of war with Japan
show eleven Russian warships placed
out of action, while the Japanese did
not lose a ship. The losses were:
At Port Arthur, the battlsships Ret
vizan Czarevitch, torpedoed and
beached; the battleship Poltava, hole
below the water line; armored cruiser
Boyarin, disabled by Japanese fire;
cruiser Pollada, torpedoed an d
beached; cruisers Novik, Askold, and
Diana, hole below water line; fret
class armored cruiser Variag, de-
stroyed at Chemulpo, Korea; torpedo
gun vessel Koritz, destroyed a. Che
mulpo, Korea. The Japanese have
captured at least five Russian COM
mercial steamers, including the
Ekaterinoslav, Moukden, Russia, Ar
gun and Alexander. They were cap
tured by the Japanese in Korean and
adjacent waters at various times s1uce
Saturday by small cruisers. Some of
the steamers are rich prizes. The
small ship Koeik is detained at Yoko-
hama, its status not being clear.

GREAT FIRE IN BALTIMORE.

One of the most destructive fires in
the history of America broke out IN
Baltimore Sunday morning, Feb. Z, at
II O'Clock. A strong wind was blow
ing and within few hours the flames
were entirely beyond control. Help
was sent from Washington, Philadel-
phia, New York, and other cities, but
to no avail. The fire worked its way
through the main business part of
the city and building after building
was consumed in quick succession.
Many buildings were dynamited but
so great was the fury of the fire that
it overleaped these gaps and con-
tinued in its course. The fremen
worked with might and main but were
helpless to stop the conf1agration.
Only 35 cases of injuries have been
reported but it is feared that there
will be many more. Ample warning
was given to get out of the path of
the fire and the greatest danger was
from the falling walls of the buildings.
Thousands are home less and all bust
ness in the city is suspended. The
only course left is to allow the fire to
burn itself out. Many insurance
companies will suffer severely and
some may be ruined. The population
of Baltimore according to the World
Almanac is 5C8, 957. With the excep-
ton of few buildings, lao acres of
valuable city property is devastated.
After meeting of the representa-
tives of insurance companies, it was
announced that they estimate the
loss at between 500, 900, 600 and $685.
100000, with insurance to the amount
of 10000 600. The discovery that
vaults and their contents are abso-
lutely intact will enormously reduce
the estimated Losses. Taking early
advantage of the permission to
examine their properties, the officers
of these corporations went into the
ruins. To their astonishment, in
many instances the strong rooms and
safes opened to the combinations,
and revealed paper amounting to
hundreds of millions absolutely I'M
scorched The news spread rapidly,
and was the first cheer that has come
to tighten the gloom. It's effect was
everywhere apparent, and the situa-
ton Immediately assumed a brighter
tone. It was this phase of the
situation that excited the gravest
apprehension, for the financial life of
some of the city's greatest concerns
depended upon the safety of vault
contents. Probably never before has
I there been fire of such magnitude
absolutely without loss of life and 60
remarkably free from accidents The
only person seriously injured was
Jacob Ipglefritz, volunteer fireman
of York, Penn. A report arose that
he was dead. He soon revived,
however, and is reported to be suffer
ing only from broken leg and minor
injuries. Compared with the other
great fires of this country, the Balti-
more fire will prove to be one OF
the worst. The fire in Portland. Me-,
July 4, 1866, involved a loss OF. 49,
100000; the Chicago fire of October,
1871, burned over about. three and
one-half square miles, killed zoe
persons, rendered $500 homeless,
and created loss of near 5000, 900,
900; while Boston's great fire OF
November 9, 1872, destroyed over
800 buildings and involved $4,000, 00O
of loss.
