thing savoring of such . campaign as
the Bourbons OF France have unceas-
1ngly waged. or as the partisans of for
mer Spanish King Alfonso and of the
young Austrian Archduke Otto main
tain, might seriously embarrass Uncle
Sam and lead to a decision that Mr..
Windsor's presence here is undesirable.
Canadas proximity is a factor that
would initiate against the wisdom of
the former monarch's choosing this
country as haven of refuge. The gen.

Republican Vermont has mo pride in
the companionship of Maine" according
to letter which Mrs. L. A. Heidel, vice
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Vermont, has addressed to
President Roosevelt. "Our pride in the
vindication of the New Deal principles, /"
she says. 'is as great as II our State were
among those which made victory pos
sible. 1t is our bitter regret that our
hopes, our prayers and our efforts to
carry Vermont were not rewarded. It
Is CALLING to endure the feeling of isola-
ton which our enemies have forced upon
us. 1t is maddening to lag behind when
the whole country is marching forward.
We refuse to accept defeat and we renew
our efforts for the day when we shall be
among the Democratic States. Even in
our hour of humiliation, we send as our
offering among the flowers gathered for
your national bouquet red clover bios

Vermont"

Hardly anything in the way Of current
corporation revenue figures could testify
more eloquently to the advent OF good
times than the Pullman Co.'s report Of
earnings for the first 10 months Of 1896.
They reveal . net profit of $2,852,507,
compared with q net loss Of $2.026, ,448
during the same period Of 1885. The
company's improved operating results
reflect the increase in Pullman travel,
following reduction Of rates for sleeping
car berths and parlor-car chairs to 8
cents q mile on June Of this year.
Down In Argentina where the fate Of
future inter american relations now
hangs in the balance, there's especially
lively regret over the abdication Of King
