Bethel, connecting there With the Central

work in stimulating an interest among
farmers Of its territory in the raising Of
potatoes for the city market. The ulti-

is the increase Of its own revenues by the
initial hazel Of the produce. However,

OF st. Johnsbury for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Slack is the junior member OF the
law firm of Dunnett q Slack, has served

American sympathy with Great Britain
in the loss Of its monarch by death is
genuine. King Edward has always been
favorite on this side Of the water. His
real natural humsnness has made him
seem less the exalted parsonage and more
the man himself, which, after all, is the
likable thing, Even the frailties of Ed
wards younger years did not materially
harm him 10 the end, for they were sue
ceeded by a deneanor 10 all keeping with
the requirements, when these came, aud
showed latent strength OF will that not
all possess. As king Edwards specially
has been paeifcation. In almost every
direction he has improved Great Britain's
not always harmonious relations with
other powers. So earnest and sincere has
he been that much Of the distrust and
jealousy of England has passed away.
Notably is this so in the case OF France.

credit goes to the monarch. Edward was

Felt Zee to Snaak-

Referring to lecture on ssThe HOLY
Land'' by its fellow townsman, DIR. Mead,
candidate for the Republican gubernato-
rial nomination. the Rutland Herald
takes the ground that "What DR.. Mead
ought to be talking about is state issues,
not geological references, and the spans
OF mems lives, or Coustantinople and
Egypt" This is i'll advised criticism.
Doesn't the Herald suppose that man

With the Republican state convention
less than two months ahead, tie voters
are manitesting a remarkable indifference
ia the selection OF q candidate for gov
ernor. In this apparent lack az interest
lies the hope Ct Dr. Mead's success in se-
curing the nomination. The PROPOSAL
to send unpledged delegates 10 the state
convention has. it is true, aroused some
interest and it is quite possible that the
voters may fully awaken to the advantage
OF taking such course. The strenuous
opposition of Dr. Mead to his suggestion
makes 1t pretty apparent that he Is afraid
to trust the people ia the selection OF a
candidate for governor. There can be no
doubt that under present conditions un-
pledged delegations from the several eau
cuses in the state can serve Vermont and

Mead Loslna Ground.

II one can judge from what he hears
Mead isn't going to get the nomination
without the biggest kind of fight, with
good odds against him even then. We
have heard this opinion expressed the
past week by men from different parts Of
the state, and there are not a few who be-
lieve that Fleetwood's chances are the bet
ter OF the two men. It is frequently
heard that Mead has lately been losing
ground, while Fleetwood's friends claim
that he is steadily gaining ground and
are feeling well pleased with the result of
the clean canvass he is making. The call
for uninstructed delegates is apparently
gaining in favor and If this is carried 10
any considerable success the final result
may be matter OF uncertainty up to the
last minute.-Lyndonviile Journal.

FROM A HEREDITARY VERMONT
REPUBLICAN,.

You are to be congratulated for express.
ing IN such unnistakable terms your OPP
position to the views OF John Harris
quoted 10 your issue OF the 9Th inst No
true Vermonter considers that the essence
OF Republication is in regularity as
defined by Mr.. Harris by Implication
There is little doubt that most OF our
great men Of the past would prove to be
" lnsurgo-crats' il they could be brought
into the political arena again.
Washington's words concerning con-
servation OF resources might be the latest
utterance OF Pinchct. Lincoln did not
say in his Gettysburg speech athat gov.
eminent OF the Republican party, by the
Republican party and for the Republican
party may not perish from the earth. J,
Lincoln did not resemble MIR. Cannon in
that respect, no matter how closely in
Others, as the speaker claims.
republicans in Vermont are glad to see
their Congressman hold good positions
ON committees, but few OF them doubt
that regularity is more of prerequisite
than ability, or that Vermonters are not
recognized so extensively because OF the
necessity Of our leadership for every vote
that can be whipped in. .
II is question whether the popular
vote of Vermont could be changed ty the
threat Of removal Of duties from principal
articles of export from the state or by
changes in committee membership in
