Enough Barre Politics.

Already the charge is made against the
Mead canvass for the Republican nomins-
tion for the governorship that It is being
financed by q barrel Ii is easy to
make such charges, OF course. and not
always easy to disprove them. But,
whatever the facts in this particular case,
the state press ought to be, and doubt
less will be, unanimous on one point in
this canvass, anyway, no matter how
much the newspapers may differ on
other details and that - that Vermont
has had enough "barrel" politics in the
past few years to last it for generation.
OF course, mere editorializing cannot rem
edy this gross evil with one stroke of the
pen or with all the pens that are busy
in one whole campaign. 1t can only
preach from the housetops and put hon
est men on their guard. When it comes
to the last analysis. the only way for Yer
monters &c stop the corrupt use OF money
in their politics is to stop taking il when
it is offered to them. st. Adams Messen-

tenant-governorship in last years con-
vention. He says, in effect, that his state
ment was not as to what DR.. Mead
would be likely to do, but as to what be,
Ranslow, would do in certain event.
He says he had no assurance whatever on
that point from DR.. Mead and spoke
with no weight OF authority. We are
bound to accept Mr.. Ranslow's version,
of course. We heard his statement as be
uttered it and, with Others, drew the in
ference that it was something more than
the shot air. which its author nos as-
teens it. We believe it had considerable
effect in bringing the nomination to DR..
Mead, in close contest with Mr.. barnes

at least consistent in opposing both then
and now the regular promotion of lieu

II reports are true, the Rutland gentle
man has already secured the service OF .
good many political "workers" and
preparations are being made for demon
stration in his favor at the coming Fish
and Game league meeting.
With such tactics, plenty of money for
campaign purposes and q total disregard
OF the dignity which should go with q
candidacy for the high Office of chief
executive Of Vermont, il must be con-
fessed that it will take brave man to
oppose DR.. Mead.
The fact is, as has often been said, a
man OF ability in moderate circumstances
financially, cannot afford to actively
aspire for the governorship--and therein
lies the hope OF DIR. Mead's candidacy.
But after all, the matter is with the
voters. II they would simply take things
into their own hands and unite upon
some progressive citizen of gubernstorial
size there would be no difficulty about
nominating and electing him. It's big
il, but still it is not too late to hope that
something OF this kind may happen.

movement must begin soon il Vermont

Gov. Mead told OF the Mead place at
West Rutland, originally decided to his

and humorously declared that it.was a

MormonIsm n vermont.

The Deseret News OF Salt Lake City, the
official organ of the Mormon church an
nounces that a Mormon conference has
been established in Vermont. The News
says editorislly:
''This imprint of the Deseret News con-
tains q brief account of the organization
Of the Vermont conference OF the Church.
Although the Prophet Joseph and his
brother Hyrum, Oliver Cowdrey, Presi-
dent Brigham Young and many other
prominent church men were born in that
state, the Elders have not labored there
regularly for many years. II is, there
fore, all the more gratifying to learn that
a conference has been organized there.
The organization was perfected on the
Gath Of July, Utsh's Pioneer day.
"Utah has great love and veneration
for the state of Vermont, that includes
the birthplace OF the martyred Prophet
and Patriarch. A great manyIvisitors
from Utah go there, and the state is hon.
ored here in the naming OF buildings and
otherwise. We have the Vermont build
ing and the Sharon block, both substan-
tial and modern business blocks in the
business district of the city. There is an
historical relationship between the two
states. Both are the homes of liberty
loving citizens. We here in Utah do not
forget that the Prophet of the Nineteenth
century was born in state that, as early
as 1877, withdrew from the grants as
signed by the British government to New
York and under the pretty name of Yer
mont organized itself, set up its own con-
stitution, and kept up an independent
government for fourteen years. Born in

COOK VS.. PEARY.

We are beginning to wonder if this
row over the double discovery OF the
North Pole isn't being fostered BY the
parties concerned for advertising pur-
poses. Certainly, it is having that effect.
Not that the discovery itself is not OF
sufficient Importance, after these CEN
turtles of futile quest, to warrant the
worlds attention; not that its finding by
two different explorers so close together
in point of time as to be announced with
in five days of each other is not very re-
markable coincidence; but when one of
the discoveries denounces the other as n
fakir and pronounces his alleged discov.
cry sham and fiction, with all the ether
frills that go to make the statement
strong, the element in the human make
up that loves a fight gets on edge at once.

each before the sun finally sets for one or
