THE CHAMPLAIN MEMORIAL.

The action of the New York Ter
centenary Commission in reconsider
ing it's vote establishing the Cham
plain monument at Bluff Point, and
requesting joint conference with the
Vermont commission for the purpose
of cooperating, if possible, in the
work, is an event of more than ordi-
nary importance, and a cause for re-
joicing. Whatever of delay and mis-
understanding there may have been
in the past apparently is ended, as the
Vermont Commission has accepted the
invitation in the same spirit of good
will in which it was given, and a
joint meeting will be held at Burling-
ton early in June, soon after the ad-
journment of the New York Legisla-
ture
1t is earnestly 10 ne hoped that the
two commissions may be able to unite
on a site agreeable to both, and the
prospects for such agreement are eX-
cellent. The successful celebration of
last summer was carried out jointly
by the two States and its conclus-
ion, the erection of memorial should,
in like manner, be accomplished by
the two States, acting together. Both
sentimental and practical reasons de-
mand one monument rather than two.
The memorial should be the Cham
plain monument, not the New York
or the Vermont monument
This State, surely, should favor CO.
operation. Our fund, of necessity, is
small, although it comprises more
than half the entire legislative APP
preparation. Probably the New York
fund is five times greater than that
of Vermont, and a monument erected
herewith always would be compared
with our own memorlai and greatly
to the disadvantage of the latter. With
all the money put into a common
fund Vermont will be spared any un-
pleasant contrast, but better than that
will be the satisfaction of doing the
right and fitting thing. 1t should be
remembered always, that the memoir
ial is built for the benefit of many
generations after its builders have
passed away, therefore no petty pref
udices, or selfish local desires should
be permitted to interfere with reach
ing the best possible solution of a
problem by no means easy.

tor Meads political interests, it Is
difficult not to believe that they
are servants hired to work UP inter-
est and enthusiasm for the Rutland
candidate. All the indications by
which men ordinarily form their
judgments point to such a conclus-
ion. No evidence goes to show that
Mr.. Fleetwood is employing such
agents, and therein, may be found
difference deep and wide, between
the methods OF the two candidates,
which, according to the Herald's ar
gument might easily be mistaken foT
twin brothers. This difference consti-
tutes one of the chief reasons why
the Journal declared that as between
Mead and Fleetwood it vastly pre-
ferred Fleetwood.
These are some of the reasons why
the Journal discriminates between
the two candidates. Sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander
but Mr. Fleetwood does not fit the
role of gander in this case. The Jour
nal considers that the sending out OF
such political agents is an attempt
to capture" the Governorship. IT
believes that the better and higher
political standards of the present time
ought to condemn and do condemn
such attempts to manufacture senti-
ment for a candidate. Let us put an
end to such methods and by the de-
feat of Doctor Mead give notice that
| the people of Vermont do not pro
pose hereafter to nominate candidates
who employ them.

U. S. DISPENSAT0RY
Describes the Principal ingredients
OF Pe-ru-na.

Describes the Principal ingredients
of Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an etfec-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh9 Have
we abundant proof that Peruna is in
reality such catarrh remedy? Let
us see what the United States Dispen-
satory says of the principal ingred-
tents of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is large
ly employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis nasal catarrh) atomic dyspep-
STA (catarrh of the stomach, chronic
intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice
(catarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis.
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. Is used
as a treatment for chronic constitu-
tional diseases and scrofula.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine,
These are not all of the medicinal
ingredients Peruna contains. Suffice
it to say that it is compound of
herbal remedies, each one of which
has, from time to time, been recon-
mended by physicians of all schools,
for different catarrhal conditions.
If you want to know what the peo-
Pile say send to us for free book of
testimonials of what the people think
of Peruna as catarrh remedy. After
all has been said, the best evidence fer
or against any remedy is the testi-
mony of those who have tried it

THE SPIRIT OF TOLERATION.

1t is a surprise to many people
that in this age, when religious feuds
have been done away with to such a
large extent, that the laws of Great
Britain should compel the monarch
to take an oath highly offensive to
every Roman Catholic. 1t is re-
ported that Premier Asquith will
take steps to change the oath to be
taken by the sovereign, eliminating
most of the statements rejecting on
the Catholic faith.
1t is to be hoped that this measure
may be adopted before George Fifth
is crowned as it is poor policy and
worse morals to insult the Catholic
population of the whole British EN-
pire.
There is room for all shades of re-
ligious belief without rejecting up
on the motives of those who differ
from our opinions, Fortunately there
is a growing disposition toward less
bigotry in religious matters and to-
ward greater tolerance in political
thought
This spirit was beautifully ex-
pressed shortly after the death OF
President Mckinley in an address
delivered by Senator George F. Hoar,
who has since died, in which he said
You and / are Republicans. You
and / are men of the North. Most
of us are Protestants in religion
We are men of native birth. Yet II
every Republican were today to fall
In his place, as William Mckinley
has fallen, l believe our countrymen
of the other party, in spite of what
we deem their errors, would take
the Republic and bear on the flag to
liberty and glory. i believe If every

Protestant were to be stricken down
by a lightning-stroke, that our
brethren of the Catholic faith would
still carry on the Republic in the
spirit of true and liberal freedom.
believe if every man of native
birth within our borders were to die
this day, the men of foreign birth,
who have come here to seek homes
and liberty under the shadow of the
Republic, would carry it on in Gods
appointed way. | believe if every
man of the North were to die, the
new and chastened South, with the
virtues it has cherished from the be-
ginning, of love OF home and love of
State, and love of freedom, with its
courage and its constancy, would
take the country and bear it on to
the achievement of its lofty destiny.

Americans before he can Stay the

We have learned that God is not
best served by using our efforts in
reviling those who differ from our
selves regarding the manner in which
we shall worship the Almighty. We
are learning the fact that man
may hold political opinions differing
radically from our own and still be
good citizen. There is still oppor-
tunity here in America, for a greater
tolerance, a wider charity, but the
great processes of evolution are
steadily working toward less of bit
terness and contention and toward
greater harmony among those who
are banded together in the fight
against evil, wherever it is found

MINERS LIVES NEED
BETTER PROTECTION

Another coal mine disaster near
Trinidad points inevitably to the con,
clusion that the miners of Colorado
need better protection.
1t is not so much that there is need
of new laws as that there is need of
a better and stricter enforcement Of
the laws of the state and of the rules
made by the companies for the safety
of their employees.
From all that can be learned up to
the present time the recent explosion
at Starkville was due to the neglect Of
ordinary precautions in a mine that
ought to have been perfectly safe.
Whatever the result of the election
may be politics ought not to be al
lowed to interfere with the effort to
protect the lives of the miners and to
secure enforcement of the laws.
The work of the coal miners is haz-
ardous at best. and it is matter of
the highest duty for the government to
save these men from needless risks of
death and suffering.

urer the democrats nominated Benton

by a very small majority. For sheriff
the republicans nominated Gus Oleson

popular with the railroad men, but the

him and the result was that he was
defeated uotw outstanding the average
republican majority was over 800. Yon
