Washington, April IA sharp col
loquy occurred in the senate between
Senators Teller and Hopkins of a
letter written by the late General H.
H. Thomas of Chicago, attacking the
civil service administration of the
treasury department. Senator Hop
kins took exception to quoting the
letter and declared that the Colorado
senator would be willing to accept
authority from the Sums" where,
upon Senator Teller declined to yield
further declaring Senator Hopkins
reference to the slums to be insulting.
The incident occurred in connection
with the discussion of the postoffice
appropriation BILL. That measure was
passed, all amendments offered by the
democrats being voted down. The bill
providing a form of government for
the Panama canal zone was taken up
but debate on it had not begun when
the senate adjourned The senate
passed bill extending the United
States pension laws to the participants
in the Indian battles of New Ulm and

current in Kansas that ex-President
Cleveland had dined C. H. ]. Taylor, a
Kansas negro politician He READ
several letters from Kansas citizens
that it had been Taylor's boast that
he had received such social attention
from Mr.. Cleveland He also said
that Mr. Cleveland. while governor OF
New York had signed bill providing
for mixed schools. In a spirited re.
ply, Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi. the
minority leader defended the attitude
of the south toward the negro and
said the discussion of the race ques-
ton by the republicans was an old
game by which when the republican
party found itself confronted with is
sues that threatened its supremacy il
began to wave the bloody shirt.
At the instance of Mr.. Bartlett o.

HYoMEl A RECORD BREAKER.
Novel Method Of Curing Catarrh. Sold
On Approval by George e. Greene.

The popularity and remarkable sales
of Hyomei have broken all records.
In nearly every city and town in the
country, this guaranteed cure for ca
tarrh has given most astonishing re-
suits.
The leading druggists are so enthu-
siastic over the remarkable percentage
of cures following the use Of Hyomei.
that with hardly an exception. they
advertise to their customers that Hy-
omei will be sold with the understand
ing that 1t costs nothing unless 1t
cures.
In Brattleboro, George f. Greene is
endorsing II and guaranteeing to re-
fund the money unless Hyomei cures
catarrh. He has sold a great many
Hyomei outfits. and to-day. no other
treatment for the cure of catarrh has
as many friends in Brattleboro and
vicinity as Hyomei.
II Is a scientific yet common sense
method of treating and curing this
too common disease. II sends by d.
rect inhalation to every cell Of the air
passages in the head. throat and lungs.
balsamic air that destroys all ca
tarrhal germs, purifies the blood with
additional ozone. and makes com
plete and lasting cure of any catarrhal
trouble.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
and includes an Inhaler. medicine
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for sew

You take no risk in buying Hyomei.

tees to refund your money unless II

Wanted-a Candidate.

Mr.. Percival w. Clement Is not a
man to be dsheartened by the result
Of town meetings. We may reason
ably expect to hear from him "tmme-
diately if not sooner" and If the Grand
Old Party in Vermont proposes to
souelch the bolter-the disorganizer--
the ring buster--the machine SMASH
err 1t behooves the leaders to be up
and doing. From the lukewarm ex-
presslons of approval with which Far
mer Bells candidacy is received by
those who think they run things 1t Is
apparent that stronger man is oe-
sired. Mr. Stanton made scarcely
more than ripple in spite of his size,
Mr.. DeBoer says he is too busy, and
our own James Low Martin assures
MS that he is out of the question-he
cannot afford to run. The east side
is up against it and still no candidate.
when the smoke of March meetings
has cleared away we may expect 10
see the "drafters" get in their work.
Since the fizzle of the Proctor draft,
perhaps the proposed victims Will
prove little shy
Mr.. Clement begins to make trouble
before he has even announced his in
tentions.

License and Local Option.

The assumption that the vote IN
Tuesdays town meetings on the IL
cense question Is n severe blow TO the
local option law Is based on misap-
prehensIon OF the issue. No sincere
local option man ever wished to sub
stitute compulsory license for that
compulsory prohibition which burden
ed Vermont for fifty years. The local
option movement was not campaign
for more rum. but for more liberty II
every town in the state had voted no
license the local option law would
still need no vindication. Local option
simply permits the people to govern
themselves: II does not prohibit or
license liquor selling except by the
consent of the majority.
Those who oppose the present law
are too ready to believe that the drop
ping off in license votes means cor
responding decrease in local option
supporters. These prohibitionists are
counting Unmatched chickens. Any at
tempt to replace the local option law
by state prohibition, will be promptly
vetoed if submitted to the people.
In Rutland the no license vote was
caused by an incompetent and weak
kneed board of commissioners VINO
made no effort to enforce license
Does any sane and well-informed man
think that Rutland is at heart opposed
to license? or to local option? In Luo-
low grievances against the commas
sioners changed the town from license
to no-iicense. This is hardly gam
for the prohbitory forces. In Caven-
dish year of license under a board
of commissioners who steadfastly re-
fused to grant a license is followed
by a vote for no license And SO, all
over the state. local conditions explain
most of the changes. Many OF last
years license towns We're too small 10
vote license anyway and their change
to the no license side is simply a mat
ter of course
We shall watch carefully the results
in the various towns for the coming
wear and compare them not only with
1903 but with 1902 and the fifty years
preceding.
If the no license towns don't have
prohibition the coming year the blame
will rest only on the shoulders of the
local commissioners and the citizens
behind them-not on the law.

The Prudential Insurance company

People not yet in middle age can re-
member when The Prudential was

to its assets, more than S5,000,0OO TO

In spite of the injunction to pre-
vent the beef trust from controlling
the cattle and wholesale market for
beef, the price of cattle has declined al
most fifty per cent and the price of
meat is much greater in proportion
than 1t was before the injunction was
issued. The producer and the con-
sumner are getting 1t, right in the neck
What is the new department Of COM
merce and labor going to do about 1t?
If it can not serve the purpose for
which it was created-to protect the
people from the depredations of un"
scrupulous trusts-it would be better
to do away with the expense Of its
maintenance. Secretary Shaw de-
clares that the tariff and trust issues
have passed out of the realm Of dis
cussion, but the people do not all a
gree with him on this point and will
probably continue to discuss them as
long as they are obliged to sell their
cattle and other produce at low prices
and buy their meat and other living
necessities at high ones.

After the Meeting.

The town meetings are over and,
whether we have been faithful or neg
lectful in performing our duties
whether wise or foolish In our decl-
sions the results are ours to meet
while choice is no longer possible Tor
another year 1t remains for us now
os,v to make the best of what we have
chosen and to note carefully, Tor tu-
ture good, the workings of this years
decisions.
II we have been fooled this year In
to turning grindstone for somebody
with a dull axe. the memory OF the
blisters and backache ought to be
sufficient guarantee against further
impositions of the kind and any other
errors we may have committed should
likewise be made to safeguard the flu
ture, II a man is a good citizen and
wishes we'll for his town. If we nave
acted according to our best judgment
then we have done our duty and need
feel no responsibility for wrong de-
cisions that others may have made.
But responsibility for the proper
transaction of the towns business does
not end with the election Of its Off
GERS. We must have an eye on their
methods and achievements during the
year SO as to be ready and justly quail
flied when the next town meeting
comes, to decide which of our town Of
ficers shall be retained and which re-
iected as unfit. The voters of town,
who pay the towns expenses, have a
right to know and ought to know, all
about those expenses. They have a
right to insist on careful economy in
the towns business as well as proper
measures for public health, comfort
and convenience. They have a right
TO insist that the laws be enforced
and that without personal preference
or party favor.
II they would insist on these things
and show more interest in town af-
fairs. they would get better service.
Their indifference is bound to breed
Indifference in the executive force and
lead to carelessness and waste.
Public sentiment. alert and asser-
tive is the very strongest moulder
Of the action Of public officials.
