pebs Named for President.

Chicago. May 6.-Eugene w. Debs
was nominated as the Socialist candi-
date for president Of the United
States. Benjamin Hanford of New
York city was nominated for vice
president. Neither of the candidates
had any opposition. After condemn
ing the policies IL the Democratic
and Republican parties, the platform,
as adopted, appeals to the American
people for support on the ground that
the Socialist party is the only party
standing for the principles by which
the liberty of the individual may be-
come a fact. Capitalism and private
ownership of the means CT employ
ment, it is declared, "grinds society
in an economic slavery. which renders

why Not Forty Thousand7

The St. Adams Messenger administers
mild reproof to the CALEDoNIAN because
it suggested that Bell would have 49,
600 majority this fall. But, candidly,
why shouldn't he get it as well as Major
Josiah Grout in 1896. Major Grout
received the nomination after one of the
bitterest pre-convention fights this state
has ever seen and many thought this
would lower his vote in September. But
instead he received the largest majority
ever given republican candidate in YER
mont. The conditions this year are
good for just such majority. Mr.. Bell
received the nomination without any
political sores; the local option faction
is united with the other wing of the
republican party and all are working for
the success of the Bell ticket, and as for
Roosevelt he is probably as popular in
Vermont, a state which he has twice
visited. as in any state in the Union.
Hitch your wagon to a star; get busy /;
get out the voters on election day; make
Bells majority 10000, and then his
Inauguration will be graced by the
presence of the first citizen in the land,
for President Roosevelt told Mr.. Bell in
Washington that if Vermont gave him
5000 majority he would attend his
Inauguration.

Stomach Dosing Will Not Cure.
Only Way to Cure Catarrh is by
Breathing HyOmei,

Ask any physician if catarrh is blood
disease and he will tell you that it is a
diseased condition of the mucous mem
brane and that it cannot be cured by
blood purifiers, pills, tablets. or other
forms of stomach dosing. The only
sensible and scientific way of curing
catarrh is by the use OF Hyomei.
Breathed for a few minutes, four or
five times day. through hard rubber
inhaler that is so small that it can be
carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs
and cure the disease. Catarrh can never
exist where Hyomei is used. 1t has a
two-fold action, destroying the disease
germs in the air passages and lungs. and
soothing and healing the infamed mu-
cous membrane.
w. B. Eastman, one of the most relia-
BILE firms in St. Johnsbury is giving his
personal guarantee with every package
OF Hyomei he sells, that it will effect a
cure or he will return the money. He
has had scores of reports of remarka BILE
cures of both acute and chronic cases of
catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.OO and comprises an inhaler, bottle
OF Hyomei and dropper. The inhaler
will last lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for SOC.

Governor Cummins Broke Faith With
Republicans Of Iowa. .
The Cedar Rapids Republican is
right in the opinion that in going to
the Chicago convention and breaking
loose with about the worst connection
Of ideas that he has yet devised" Gov
ernor Cummins broke faith with the
Republicans Of Iowa.
That is precisely what happened,
precisely what might have been ex-
pected. Although morally bound hard
and fast by the vote of an overwheim-
ing majority in the convention which
selected him as one Of the delegates
at large, and although he pledged him
self to stand with both feet right in
the middle of the platform and not to
go lettering on it's edges, Cummins dis
regarded the instructions and broke
his word by working with all his
might and main for the Incorporation
Of his tariff tinkering and wide open
reciprocity heresies into the national
Republican platform.
Iowa Republicans made mistake
when they permitted Cummins to mis-
represent them at Chicago. He should
have been kept at home He probably
will be next time.

Salary Of Rural Delivery Carriers.

Congressman D.. ]. Foster is greatly
pleased with President Roosevelt's action
in reversing the order OF Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General Bristow, relative to
the salary of rural letter carriers. Con-
gresham Foster says, relative to the
matter
This action of President Roosevelt is
another proof of his determination that
his administration shall not only do
things, but shall do things right. Every
one who had any knowledge of the facts
knew that it was the plain purpose of
Congress last winter to secure to all ru-
raj letter carriers, on routes twenty miles
or more lorg, an annual salary of $72O.
The post Office department recommended
this, and while some of us were in favor
of a larger increase, Congress finally
fixed the salary at this amount. Here
totore the salary has been $500 per year
on such routes. After Congress ad-
journed, MIR. Bristow took the matter
up, and proceeded to Teclassiiy the
routes, making full route twenty-four
miles or more long, and fixing the pay of
carriers on such routes at $500 per year,
and on shorter routes in proportion to
their length. This was an attempt to
override the action of Congress, and re-
suited in storm of protests from every
quarter. Many letters were sent TO Mr..
Bristow, but without effect. Then an
appeal was had to President Roosevelt,
with the result that Mr.. Bristow prompt
ly withdrew his order and issued an
order carrying out the will of Congress,
and providing that carriers on routes
twenty miles or more long should re-
ceive salary, from the first of last July,
at the rate of $500 per year. This new
order affects about eleven thousand car
riers.''

Dollar Wheat.

Wheat, which has been exceptionally
strong the past few months, passed the
dollar mark in the Chicago "pit" last
week and has been around a dollar
bushel ever since. The rise was not
caused by speculation, though the specu-
laters quickly took advantage ofthe stu
alton, but because of the governments
bulletin predicting short crop and the
appearance of the dreaded rust which
blights the grain just before the harvest
time. Whole fields in Michigan and some
of the other states have thus been ruined
and the individual loss will be very
great. But dollar wheat makes most of
the farmers happy for they can see things
coming their way-a bicycle for the boy,
piano for the wife, or perhaps a trip to
the worlds fair. And dollar wheat, if
the price is sustained by the law of sup
ply and demand. gives an air of con-.
idence to the financial situation, which
in a presidential year is often shaken by
the cheap oratory of the demagogue.
Dollar wheat always develops fresh
crop of lambs" for the speculative
shearers, and ia his Letters of Self
Made Merchant to his Son" the author,
John Graham thus describes their expert
ence:
"The wheat pit is only thirty feet
across, but it reaches clear down to hell.
And trading on margins means trad
ing on the ragged edge of nothing.
When a man buys he's buying something
that the other fellow hasn't got; when a
man sells he's selling something that he
hasn't got. And it's been my experience
that the net profit on nothing is nit.
When l sell futures on Change, they're
against hogs that are travelling into dry
salt at the rate of one a second, and if
the market goes up I've got the solid
meat to deliver. But if you lose, the only
part of the hog which you can deliver is
the Suueal"
