game of ball with Friends University.
Those who can possibly attend
should give athletics all the support
they can. Frankly speaking, IL Is
needed. We played good, scientific
game Of base ball with Fairmount on
Tuesday, frankly speaking. The
errors Of our boys were very few, and.
frankly speaking, those who know
anything about baseball say the team
shows superior coaching. With the
new material that Coach Owen has
developed this year, we feel that we
are going to have winning team,

INDUSTRIAL NOTES

DR.. John A. Mead OF Rutland. presi-
dent OF the John A. Mead Manufacture
ing Co., makers Of coal-carryinc ma
chinery. which concern has until now
been conducted in connection with the
Howe Scale Co., has sold his majority
interest in that company to b. ID.
Brown OF New York. who has in turn
sold it to the Rawson-Morrison Manu-
featuring Co., large Boston concern.
The latter purchased for the purpose of
obtaining control Of the patents on
coal-carrying machinery, trucks. etc.
The two concerns have been consoli-
dated under the name of the Mead
Morrison Manufacturing Co., and the
offices will hereafter be at Boston. For
the next few months the two plants OF
the new company viii be operated as
heretofore, but they will eventually be
consolidated either at Rutland or Bos-
ton. An immense plant viii be erected
and the business largely increased.
The John A. Mead Manufacturing co.
did a business Of $500, 900 last wear and
the Rawson-Morrison Co. several times
that amount, so it will be a big thing
Tor Rutland if the new company decides
to locate there.

GOLD MOT AN ISSUE"

The striking incident OF the Demo
cratic national convention was the
Parker telegram. 1t fell like bomb
shell among the delegates who had
restored harmony" by keeping the
gold plank out Of the platform, in
Difference to Bryan, while at the same
time turning their faces against any
reafirmation OF the old tree silver
idea, now discarded as a heresy.
The convention had nominated
Judge Parker, a silent candidate, on
a silent platform, and expected con-
tinuance of the eloquent silence on the
subject of finance. This had barely
been accomplished when the nominee
broke the silence that had enshrouded
him from the beginning in most sur
prising and alarming manner. He
notified the convention that he stood
irrevocably for the gold standard, and
that if such a belief were deemed in
compatible with his nomination he
must decline it.
In an instant the convention was in
turmoil. Such a declaration from
Parker, whose chief claims to the
place, urged by his friends, had been
that he was a colorless individual who
would do nothing to cause embarrass-
ment, came like a thunderbolt For
a moment it appeared as if the con-
vention, in its anger and outraged
dignity, would take Parker at his word
and dismiss him, but wiser counsel
prevailed. 1t was seen that such a
course would doubtless turn chaos
loose, and that the result would be the
capture of the convention by the
Bryanites, who were alert, if in the
minority. Against its will, the con-
vention had to submit and to announce
to the candidate and the country that
the holding OF such views did not dis
quality Parker from accepting the
nomination, and that gold was not an
issue Of this campaign.
By this announcement from party
that four years ago denounced the gold
standard and selected for the presi-
dency the prime mover of the silver
idea, who declined to run then unless
the radical Chicago platform OF '96
were distinctly reaffirmed, did this
party cast aside the mask and, to all
intent, place itself on the side of the
gold standard. There is a specious
argument that natural conditions"
have established gold, but a much
saner view is that the wisdom of the
country in 90 and 90 has been justi-
fed by the results. If gold is no
longe: an issue, it is because the Re-
publican party has settled this ques-
ton, as it has settled others, beyond
even the power OF its antagonist to
raise it.

LIQUOR Seizures.

The police department of Rutland
made successful raids on a few OF the
suspicious places in the city July l6.
A large corps Of special officers was
brought into service and the places
raided simultaneously.
AT the store OF John +. McGuirk on
Strong avenue the officers found a
large crowd Of men drinking. The
proprietor pleaded with the officers to
take only enough liquor 10 convict him
and to leave the remainder so that he
could continue business. Nevertheless
they took all in sight, which included a
barrel OF beer, "A key Of whiskey besides
some bottled whiskey. The barrel Of
beer was rolled through the street TO
the police station.
At the barber shop OF A. q. Baisner
a keg OF what the proprietor claimed
was Uno beer was seized. At the res
taurant of Henry Barrett of Grave
street the officers found nothing, but
in the adjoining store of F. {. Wilson
they found large quantity of bottled
beer, which they seized as belonging
TO Mr.. Barrett. Mr.. Wilson claimed
the liquor as his own.
At the restaurant of NJ. T. Brown on
Center street two barrels Of bottled
beer were seized.

A SOLID CORNER.

A noticeable feature in Vermont
politics for more than q decade past
has been the practical unanimity, the
almost complete harmony, with which
the three northeastern counties, Gale
donia. Orleans and Essex, have lined
up together in support OF the candi-
dates put forward by that section. 9th
er counties adjacent to each other in
other parts of the state disagree, and
most of them generally split up them
selves, seldom presenting a solid front
for anybody, even when the county it
self has a candidate.
Not so with the three northeastern
counties. By some mysterious pro-
cess, as yet unknown to the rest of the
state, there are no conflicting candi-
dacies from that corner, and from the
beginning OF the canvass it is perfectly
safe to count the whole section solid
for the man who comes forward as its
candidate. 1t was so with Bell this
year; it was so always with Gen.
Grout; so when his brother, Josiah.

worker
The Vermont Marble company,
which has invested several hundred
thousand dollars for the benefit Of its
workmen that most concerns would
have divided as dividends, win not, at
this juncture, be likely TO turn its
great business over to the control Of
such demagogues or their dupes. The
Rutland Herald, politically none too
friendly to the Proctors, has this TO say
of the situation -
"Our impression is that the marble
workers OF this vicinity, while always
ready to accept better labor condi-
lions, are not anxious TO strike. In
fact. they would not think OF doing so
if il were not for outside influence.
While the marble worker OF New York
city and many other localities COM
mands a IS day wage, work is not
continuous. Two years ago when 10
or more Rutland marble workers went
to New York, at the solicitation OF
members OF the New York unions. on
a 50 day wage. il did not take them
two months to discover that tie loss Of
working time, during which they Were
laid OFF. more than neutralized the
comparatively large pay they were
getting, and consequently they did not
get as much money at the end OF the
month as they had received for years
in Rutland county"
A common impression is that the
present strike in Vermont has been
melted by competing concerns else
where that have surrendered to the
unions and now want TO put the Rut-
land companies in the same hole.

The body of Henry Baxter Kingsley
of Rutland, who disappeared mys-
teriously November "a. was found July
rs in the Harlem river at 18th street,
