A Rooseveltian BluT.

The grandstand injunction that
President Roosevelt and his attorney
general obtained about two Years ago
against the beef trust seems 10 have
had just the opposite effect intended.
Ii was supposed at the time that Pres
ident Roosevelt was hunting. with in
tent to kill. the most conspicuous bad
trust" he had discovered. II is impos-
sible 10 understand upon what theory
President Roosevelt selected the beef
trust as the sole bad industrial trust
he could find 10 prosecute. for the coal
trust. the Standard Oil trust. the steel
trust. and dozens of others were culpa-
Bile n the same degree. The profits of
the Standard Oil trust were larger and
the div.iends paid were much greater
and the monopoly even more grinding
than the beef trust. for il had advanc-
ed its prices 100 per cent in a year
The coal trust was equally guilty and
quite as oppressive. The steel trust

Figures That Prove Facts.

This is no mere rhetorical assertion
unsupported by the facts. \ well
known insurance company proves the
assertion by irrefutable statistics.
The table of statistics covers 125,-
coo lives and extends over period of
CT years. The data. mind you. is that
upon which the actuaries base all their
figures. The insurance company does
business upon the life expectancy fig
ured by the actuaries. the question
with the insurance companies is a
question of cash. 1t is unaffected by
moral considerations. The figures in
Clude the working period of life. that
is to say. from the age of 20 10 the
age of 20. 1t is shown that while i6,
$50 of the total abstainer8 die in the
period there are 1881 deaths of tn,
moderate drinkers.
Further: Between the ages of 2C
and 80 there are II per cent more
deaths among the moderate drinkers
than among the abstainers: between
the ages of 30 and 10. GS per cent: be
tween the ages of 40 and 30. II pei
cent; between the ages OF 80 and 60
- per cent: between the ages Of CO
and 20. 10 per cent.
1t is everywhere conceded nowadays
that the man who drinks to excess is
totally unfit for business. but there Is
sort of belief that moderate drink
ing is quite harmless. nay. indeed. in
some instances, beneficial. The figures
do not bear out this latter belief
though the figures of the insurance ex
pert do not lie. He has therefore dem
onstrated that. other things beine
equal. the total abstainer will Iiv,
longer than the man who drinks mod
erately.

A Converted" Democrat.

1t is with a great deal of pleasure
that the democrats find their party
united on Judge Parker almost to
man. There were some good old dem
ocrats who had other men whom they
preferred TO head their ticket but all
of these have gracefully accepted Par
lter as their candidates and now are
rejoicing over the fact that they have
a much stronger candidate than was at
first supposed. They recognize in him
an honest, earnest man who can be
relied upon 10 keep his promises and
as each day passes the chances for
democratic victory grow stronger and
the democrats are growing more en-
thusiastic over their leader. There has
been no split in the ranks of the party
and there will be none. True enough
the republican papers now and then
boast of some new democratic convert,
but the party has not lost any man of
consequence but has reclaimed many
of the prominent leaders who left the
party eight years ago. The democrats
are losing no good men this year. not
withstanding the fact that the repub-
lican papers throw a fit over every
peanut politician who changes his
views and joins the republican party
because his democratic pap has been
taken away from him. They make a
great deal over these converts" and
label them the Honorable MIR. and
So and So or the Learned Mr.. So
and So" but were the facts really
known, it would be found that these
converts are small potatoes and few

AT HIGH SCHOOL.

Miss Emily Mertz. of this city. has
been elected by the school board to
ill temporary position al teacher in
algebra at the high school. and took up
her duties yesterday. Another instruc-
tor was found necessary because of the
heavy enrolment for this term. Five
years ago the faculty consisted of eight
teachers. but the force has been in
creased as the attendance of the pu-
pills grew till now 13 teachers are nee
essary. besides the special instructors
in music and in drawing. The compar-
iSon shows 10 what extent the young
people of the city are growing to ap-
preciate the advantages of a high

An interesting dispatch from Esopus
says that Judge Parker's hobby is the
restoration of the constitutional limi-
tations surrounding the three branch
es of government. No appropriation
bills will be passed by executive or
der in his administration: there will
be no constructive reCesses.' nor Will
any canal strips be ruled by one man
power except through the marine
corps" II is evident that the judge
is precisely the man needed for pres
ident at this time above all others.

none of these selected as the horrible
example,"
Now, as the Quincy Herald remarks,
just because they were all too strong
politically and had been in the past
and were expected to be in the future,
large contributors TO the republican
campaign fund. II would never do 70
run amuck' against such good friends,
with their financial connections that
controlled banks, trust companies,
railroads, and other industrial COM
bines with half the capital of the
country at their back. The beef com
bine men were small potatoes compar-
ed to the other trust magnates, and as
public opinion was conferred on beef. in
consequence of the extraordinary in
crease in price, the packers cOmbina-
ton was selected by Knox to make his
little bluff at But the packers com
bine were no nOvices in the legal game
of bluff, and being advised by their at
Itorneys that an injunction restraining
Them from combining in restraint of
Itrade did not hinder them from max
ling a "gentlcmen's agreement TO all

| left the injunction obtained by the adj

Rutland, April 2O:-Dr ]. D. Hanra
han made a careful examination
yesterday of Alex Linquist, assaulted
in front of the city hall Monday night,
which showed that the wounds on the
head were made with a chisel. 1t is
though it was an attempt to murder
and would have been successful had
not the man made an outcry and at.
tracted attention.
The man has seven cuts in the scalp
clear to the skull. The worst wound
was just above the knee cap where
the flesh and cords we're cut clear to
the bone. Linquist cannot tell much
about his assailants. He thinks there
were three or four men who came up
behind him and struck him a hard
blow, which so dazed him that he can
not tell what happened after that. The
police are working on the case.

ROBBED
POSTOFFICE
Four Burglars Make a Visit
to Bradford.
SECURED $5lS.52.
Woman Living Next Door Heard
Explosion but Was Unable to
Give any Alarm.
SECURED $5l8.52.

Bradford, April 19:-The local post
Office was robbed early this morning
by expert cracksmen,
Coming into town by the upper
plain they gathered horse blankets,
laprobes, and carpeting from the out
buildings of Everett McDuffee, Viii
lard Johnson, and others, and broke
into the Boston & Main tool house at
the railway station where they helped
themselves to a choice assortment of
bars and wrenches, with which they
entered the post-office building by
forcing the side door A dance in the
armory across the street, which did
not break up until ! o'clock, delayed
operations. Shortly after O'Clock
they got to work, two men standing
guard outside while two others work
ed at the safe, dynamite cartridges
being used. The wet laprobes and
blankets with which the safe was
muflled deadened the sound of the
explosion, but three distinct reports
were heard by Mrs Wilson, who lives
next door. She is.ill and alone in the
house and was unable to give an
alarm until morning, being badly
frightened and defenceless.
The postmaster, T. A. Chase had
taken the bills in the safe homo with
him, but s5ls,52, including the con-
tents of thechange drawer, were taken.
The officers in all the surrounding
towns have been notified and it is
believed that they are on the trail of
the burglars.

BINGHAM
ELECTED
Chosen Fourth Delegate to
Chicago Convention.
DEFEATS 6. M. POWERS
Interest Centers in GOvernorShip
with J. A. DeBoer the
Strongest Candidate

The Republican state convention to
nominate delegates to the National
convention to be held in Chicago, was
called to order this morning by Thad
NJ, Chapman, chairman of the state
committee. According to the report
of the committee on credentials, over
600 delegates were in attendance. AS
soon as possible after the convention
had completed the permanent organi-
zation, L. S. Senator j. B. Foraker
of Ohio was presentedto the convention
and addressed it for about an hour.
The audience was carried away by
his eloquence, and several times he
was obliged to wait for the applause
to subside. His address was a graph
ic statement of what the Republican
party had done and what it proposed
t. do in the future
Following the address Of Senator
Foraker, the business OF the conven.
tion was called. It did not take long.
The delegates to the convention were
placed in nomination, elected with no
opposition and they are such as viii
do credit to Vermont The delegation
is headed by L. S. Senator VIM. p.
Dillingham;, who was heartily sup
ported by the Bennington County del
eyation; DR. w. Seward Webb of Shell
burne, II. f. Turner Of st Johnsbury,
and Henry S. Bingham of Bennington.
The only opposition for delegates
was in the fourth for which George NJ.
Powers of Morrisville and Henry s.
Bingham of Bennington were candi-
dates. Gr Bingham was elected by
vote of 3O5 to 2l1.
The delegation will be favorable to
the denomination of Theodore Roose-
welt to succeed himself as president of
the United States.
Up to noon today but little had been
heard about the governorship. The
sentiment in favor of John A. DeBoer
of Montpelier appeared to be the
strongest and the prospect as II appear
ed at that time was much in his favor.
In addition to those above mention
ed, U. S. Senator Proctor, Congress-
man d. j. Foster and Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Darling we're present |
and occupied seats on the platform. |
They were cordially greeted by the |
convention as they took their seats.
The Bennington county delegation |
arrived Tuesday afternoon. The men,
bers from Bennington and accompany
ing visitors found, that through the |
of G. NJ. Graves, six of |
the best rooms at the Van Ness House |
had been reserved for their accommoda-
tion. The same quarters will be held |
for the accommodation of the dele
gates to the district convention to be |
held tomorrow.
There is some talk that should Ad-
olson county not have a delegate from
the district to the convention, Ben
nington county may present the name
of o. M. Barber.
