Parker and RooseveIt cIaars.

A story has just reached mere from
Esopus which is being enjoyed pretty
generally by everybody in town, the
president included One of the stores
in Esopus, so the story goes, sells OF
sold brand of cigars named after Mr.
Roosevelt. Until the day of Judge Par
ker's nomination these cigars were
advertised on a sign tackled up on the
side of the store. The sign read:
"The Theodore Roosevelt Cigar, the
Longest and Best Smoke for the
Money"
On tae day of Judge Parker's nomi.
nation the sign disappeared. But on
the same day according to the story,
Judge Parker sent down to the store
for 300 cigars for use in the emer.
gency, and the storekeeper, prompted
either by keen business PERCEPTION or
a wholesome sense of humor, sent up
to Rosemount a lot of the Theodore
Roosevelt cigars, which were handed
out by the Democratic nominee to his
Democratic friends in Esopus as genu
Inc Democratic campaign cigars and
smoked by the latter as such. Whether
The judge knew of the brand at the
time is still matter of conjecture
here, but persons who brought the
story to Oyster Bay say that there is
no doubt that the Judge knows now all
lbout the cigars.--New York Sun.

A Ringing Note for Rel.

Rev. Perrin B. Fisk of St. Johnsbury
Center writes the St. Johnsbury Repub-
hcan as follows:
Now at length we are well pleased.
Farmers, grangers, temperance men and
women, clergymen and all honest people
in Vermont will rejoice to have chance

Dillingham; and Reciprocity.

Apropos of Prof. Fairbanks article in
another column on reciprocity between
Canada and the United States the St.
Adams Messenger has this to say about
Senator Dillingham's position:
This from the Waterbury Record offers
some ground for at least a reasonable
difference of opinion: Senator Dilling-
ham speaks plainly on the idea of Yer
mont people not wishing to adopt any
reciprocal arrangements between Canada
and the United States. He well voices
the people he represents" If this para
graph means what it says. that Senator
Dillingham; believes and says that the
people of Vermont do not want any
reciprocal arrangements at all with
Canada, then either the contemporary
or the senator has failed to takeain to
account very respectable element in the
population of this state that believes in
the principles laid down in Mckinley s
Buffalo speech. Is the Record quite Ger.
tain that Senator Dillingham; thus de-
ceives himself?

A Plea for Vermont Naples.

Farmers May Live to See Fortunes i'm
their Sugar Bush.
The following letter recently appeared
in the New England Homestead, from A.
D. Kimball, suggested by an interview
which appeared in that agricultural
paper with T. 6. Bronson of East Hard
wick. Mr.. Kimball thinks the interview
was misleading and advises the farmers
to take courage as better times are COM
ing. Mr.. Kimba1l says:
do not know how the maple sugar
crop compares now with 20 years ago,
but am sure it must be much smaller
AS Mr.. Bronson says, worms have done
some damage, and some orchards have
been cut down to supply wood to large
towns, but that does not tell the story.
The price of 16 inch stabbed or blocked
wood has but in few places gone above
$3.50 a solid cord, and dry wood of the
same kind, Sc. In fact. taking all the
large places, say of 600 people up to the
largest, am sure that the average price
of wood for the past 10 years would not
average as high as the above figures.
At least one-half of the wood is sold
green. It costs on an average So. rs
solid cord to saw, split, and pile wood,
and, if on two-trip route, 81 so a solid

Progress Of the War.

There has been nothing of special i'm
portance to report about the war In the
Far East since the FIRST brilliant naval
victories of the Japanese fleet, and the
Russians are making many of the in
jured ships ready for further use. Ten
Russian war vessels have been damaged
and two cruisers sunk. Several of the
war ships are now in service and one OF
the cruisers repaired. Gen. Kuropatkin
has arrived at the seat of war and pre-
diets that hostilities will last two years,
and the Japanese seem to share this feel.
ing as a statement made in the Tokyo
diet urges the japanese to be patient and
not look for sudden and brilliant sue
cesses. Repeated reports that Port
Arthur has been abandoned have been
as often denied by the Russians, and
Russia will never abandon this port
unless forced to do it, for it is her only
ice-free port and one of the tern1ini of the
Trans Siberian railroad. The branch
laid across the ice on Lake Baikal will
soon be put out of operation, though the
track will float an the water, being held
up by the buoyancy of the 80 or 40 foot
sleepers, but this 4O-mile floating rail-
road will sustain the weight of "dpizin-
as" (handcars) which can carry half a
dozen men.
Admiral Makaroff is at the head of the
Russian squadron at Port Arthur and
has prevented the japanese from block
ing up the entrance to the harbor by
sinking ships as Lieut.. Hobson did in the
Spanish American war. Russia will send
her Baltic fleet to the Orient this summer,
and two powerful battleships have just
been completed in England for the Japan
csc and orders are expected for two
more. Russia now occupies the Man
churian port of New-chang and has 4OO,-
900 troops in the field. The japanese
forces are 1argely'in Korea and working
north of the Yalu river, the boundary
between Korea and Manchuria. There
has been one skirmish between the Cos
sack cavalry and the Japanese outposts,
in which the Cossacks were routed.
Spring is coming slowly in Manchuria
and the roads are ia fearful condition.
Both sides seem to be waiting for settled
weather and are anxious to make the
first land battle a decisive one. The
Pacific coast and the Chicago packing
houses are receiving substantial trade
from both sides. several million dollars
being shipped to San Francisco from
Japan last week to pay for war supplies
bought in the United States.

County Politics.

The coming of spring and the approach
of the first state convention has started
up the fipples in the political stream and
republicans have begun to discuss county
politics. Interest centers in the choice OF
a senator and st. Johnsbury has always
been accorded the first one. 1t is with
great satisfaction to learn that. L. P.
Slack, Esq, is candidate for this po-
sition. His record as public servant,
his character and integrity, and his
loyalty to the republican party, call for
no eulogy from the CALIFORNIAN. This
county will also have another candidate
for senator and among those already
favorably spoken of are II. P. Simpson
of Sheffield, B. K. Graves of Waterford,
w. Fl. Taylor and George w. Bridgman
of Hardwick, DIR. w. III. Weeks of East
Hardwick, S. D. Morse of Danville, J. T.
Gleason of Lyndon and F. M. Page of
Groton. Several of these men have
represented their own town in the
House, while others have creditably
filled county Offices.
A goodly number of our young lawyers
aspire to the Office of states attorney
and in the list are three from St. Johns
bury, 6. c. Frye, Robert w. Simonds
and Frank D. Thompson, while Lyndon
vile furnishes a candidate in N. A. Nor
ton and Hardwick in w. A. Dutton.
Our assistant judges are entitled to a
reelection, as they have proved them
selves well qualified for their Office and
done excellent service. There will be~no
contest over the position of high sheriff
and judge of probate and the contest for
county cons missioner and high bailiff ex-
cites but little interest.
The county convention is less than
three months off, and in the meantime
there will be something doing" along
political lines.

G|RLHOOD'S DANGERS
A Simple and Certain Method by
Which ChIorosis, a Frequent
Affection Of Growing Girls,

Every mother knows that the danger
line in the development of girl is
crossed at the point where girlhood and
womanhood meet. This critical point
cannot be too closely guarded. Care in

Mrs. e. @. Young, Of No. 303 Lynn

through her girlhood's trying period by
simple course Of treatment, after
physicians had failed to help her.
"When I was seventeen" she says,
SCI began to fail in health and, in spite
of all the medicines our family doctor
gave me, continued to grow worse.
Neither he nor another doctor who also
attended me seemed to be able to reach

"This condition kept growing worse
for three years until finally it became
intolerable and began to hunt eagerly
for some remedy that could effect a GER

said she had been cured of a similar
trouble by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, after her case had been
pronounced hopeless. Upon her strong
recommendation I decided to take this
remedy. Relief was almost immediate

A Decision against the Coal Trust

The United States supreme court has
decided the case of William R. Hearst
against the coal trust and the latter is
completely routed. President Baer, who
claimed the 'divine right" to manage
affairs as the coal barons saw fit, refused
to produce his books and the suit was
brought to compel him to do SO. Mr..
Hearst claimed, and undoubtedly it was
true, that the coal trust fattened on
secret agreements with selling agents,
and the decision of the supreme court
is "that secret agreements in the way of
creating monopolies or tending to dis
criminate against the individual shipper
can no longer be maintained"
1t is great victory for the individual
against the arrogant power of the trust
and the fact that the suit was brought
by private individual who is today the
leading candidate for the nomination of
president on the democratic ticket will
have great political weight. Mr.. Hearst
is TO be congratulated on securing such
a victory against unlimited wealth and
power, and If it rebounds to his success
politically the coal barons, the captains
of industry who corner the market, and
the spectators who fatten on Others
misfortunes have only themselves to
blame.

copper mines in November. The product for the
first time in the history Of the district exceeded
Is, 600 pounds of refined copper. Lake mines
are now turning out the red metal at the rate
Of $50 100000 pounds year. While the higher
price of copper has stimulated production, no
large increase over the present rate Is IN sight

mines strained every effort to clean up all the
copper possible in order to catch the last lake
vessel and save in freight charges over the al
rail routes to the eastern seabOard. AS result,

record mark, Notwithstanding that work was cur
tailed by the election and Thanksgiving Day.
