We notice that number of the state
papers have given space to our recent
brief editorial, "Personal Principle VS..
Party Platform" and The Messenger
discusses the subject at some length.
We still fully adhere to all that is sug-
gested by our former statements. A
party convention is usually composed of
men chosen by themselves, or very
small minority Of their fellow citizens
in caucus assembled. A majority of the
freemen seldom attend the primaries.
True this is not as it should be, but the
fact remains. If the majority of the
free voters OF any town or city are not
in accord with certain plank of the
party platform, aud elect representa-
tive who is willing to voice their wishes
if occasion arise, aud does so even in
opposition to the party whip, we still
allow these to be ranked as true mem
bers in good standing of the party if in
the main they believe in the principle
which make up the party's history and
direct its present activity. Do all Re-
publican Senators and Representatives
at Washington always vote in full
accord with the measures claimed by
certain so called leaders to be in fulfill
ment of the convention pledges? Do
Senator Hoar, Congressman Littlefeld
and many others belttle themselves as
statesmen by voting on some measure
contrary to the dictation of so called
leaders who snap about them the party
whip and shout convention pledges
and whisper "party expediency" The
Messenger says all such action is foul
treachery. We do not so see it. Pos
sibly the town of --- sent two dele
gates to the state convention who were
chosen at caucus of eight voters, and
they silently acquiesced in the adoption
of a platform in which there was one
plank which personally they could not
endorse. Later this. same town by
one hundred votes sends represent :
tive to Montpelier. Are not the voters
in that town sovereign in the exercise
of their constitutional rights, and must
they be called guilty of treachery when

of Indiana.

It may be that public politics wodld
be purified by the operation of proper
caucus law. If so by all means let us
have it: but if it will only result in a
little more red tape aud bother hedging
about the exercise of the individual
right of suffrage, then we certainly de
not need it in Vermont. If it will have
tendency to lessen the advantage OF the
political leader and boss AID increase
the possibility of the average voter tt
enjoy full independence, then give 1t tt
us by all means.

They say preparedness is the surest
preventative of war. Judging from re-
ports, We imagine that the recent baby
war at Bull Run, costing the Treasury
Il million and half, has taught the
shop, store, office, and farmer militia OF
the land that war is greatly to he
avoided. We think the outlay mag
nifcent extravagance at this time when
we are all talking peace, peace, the
product of modern Christian civilization +;
but it may have the effect of making
some more opponents among the people
to the advance of military spirit.
Preach peace and prepare and practice
for war, that is the way to do it in these

SHOOTING IS EXPLAINED.
Attempt Was Made By Mexican Alcade
 to Arrest Americans.

Washington, July 26.-The American consul at Mazatlan has reported to the state department on the recent shooting of two Americans at Aguas, Caliente. He says that the Alcade went to the office of the recorder and asked him to arrest Clarence Way, which he refused to do, claiming there was no reason therefor The Alcade then made out the warrant himself The commissioners met MT. Way in front of his house and showed him the order of arreet and he replied he would accompany them as soon as he had eaten his breakfast and changed his clothes.
 They objected to this and undertook to carry him when Way called the cook Latimer, who came out unarmed and tried to prevent the arrest. After Way had been forcibly taken, Latimer started into the house and one Castro, thinking he had gone for arms, shot and wounded him. Way seeing this attempted to enter the house. whereupon Castro fired twice, killing him instantly. The Alcade and two commissioners are now in jail.

New Indictments Found.

St. Louis, July 26.-New indictments have been found against John J. Ryan operator of an alleged get rich quick race concern and Lumpkin A. Gill, manager of the Arnold company by the grand jury which has recently heard considerable additional evidence against the men in question.
 There are seven of the new indictments. Four are against, Ryan three charging grand larceny and one charging embez- element.
 The particular cases on which these indictments are returned are a secret of the grand jury room. It is stated that tho charges are similar to those returned some months ago and thrown out of court on demurrer It was held then by the circuit court that the defendant who went on trial was acting as trustee for the depositlons, and was not subject to in- dictment When this ruling was made the cases against Gill and Arnold were dis continued.
 Since then Mir. Folk and his assistant have been conducting a systematic and thorough search of the statutes for a means by which an indictment could be drawn that would withstand the tech- nical objection of the defendant and they believe that they have found the way.

PLACED UNDER S500O BOND

New York, July 26.-John J. Ryan, horse owner, whose horses, Reliable and Monster, won the first and third races at Brighton Beach tq& &ay, was arrested at the Brighton Beach track this afternoon on warrant charging him with obtain ing money by an alleged get-rich-quicl scheme by which it is said he was the head. The amount involved Is said to be ss00,oo0. The warrants for Ryans arrest were Issued in St. Louis and the arrest was made by New York Central office detective, who was accompanied by St. Louis detective and George Fiekessen, as- sistant to Circuit Attorney Folk of St. Louis. Ryan took his arrest cooly and induced the detectives to remain with him at the track until the end of the third race on which he told them he had "a few hundreds placed"
 "Why didn't those people in St. Louis let me know they wanted me I would have gone on," he said.
 At police headquarters he gave his age as 30 years and his ocupation horse rac- ing. He was taken at once before Su- pA ChhS CouAN JuSs4NN fAiitcAu anu Ddll was fixed at 5000.
 Timothy D. Sullivan of this city signed the bond.
 An assistant from the circuit attorneys office in St. Louis was indignant when he learned that bail was fixed at s500O. We are framing up strong case against Ryan," he said. "It Is tough to have any judge let the man out on such a small bail. But we'll get Ryan. We have five St. Louis detectives watching him and he can't get out of the state. We were going to take him to St. Louis tonight, but were frustrated"
 As accounting for the amount of the bail 1t was ascertained that two separate complaints mentioning several hundred witnesses were made at St. Louis. A de- tective of St. Louis said tonight that Ryan was indicted after sevral hundred witnesses had appeared He declared that probably there were more than 1000 complaints against Ryan.

 sion on Negro 6ricklayer's Case.

Washington. July 26,-The civil service commission has rendered a decision that the negro bricklayer Taylor. on account of whom the union bricklayers at Wash ington barracks went on strike, was ille- gally appointed. The commission today issued a statement that Taylor's name was first entered on the brickmason reg ister at Washington July 1, 1903. with a general average of 100 and that his year of eligibility therefore expired June ao 1904.
 If the regular procedure looking to his selection and appointment was initiated on or before June 90, 1904" the commis- sion says, it would be in accordance with the practice of the commission to allow the appointment even though this year of his eligibility expired before the appointment was completed"
 Otherwise 1t was stated here, his ap- pointment was irregular and would be revoked. The commission asked for re- port of all essential facts before the board of civil service examination and engineer ing department at large. before determin- ing the case. Twenty-Five non-union bricklayers were working on the barrack buildings today, all but threo of them being negroes.
