Hie New York correspondent f .he Dnladelphia Press says it is not generally known that 'X-Senator Edmunds was of fcret U Enalish misakm ;jy President 'riant and declined .:. and that Ueafter Tards refused au tDpointment to the su preme court ivencn. If. therefore, he should Accept the Spanish mission, which t reported President McKlnley pro poses to 'itfer him. a frould not aeasa promotion, for !ie aaakad he refusal of higher positions, bat as a matter of personal sacrifice to ais country at a t:me when a man f the tint ibifity .s required at Madrid. The Senate is making rapid progress la considering the tariff till paragraph by pinwrraph. ETerything recommended by Mr. Aldrich. who has charge of the bill, is adopted. The minority leaders call atten tion as the iebate proceeds to the need lessly high rates, as tbey regard them, and appeal tor something lower. After statins the case, they ask for a roil rail, that the senators be placed m record. Thia ts done, and the next paragraph is taken up in the same way. The work will proceed in this way until the sugar, wool and hides schedules are reached, and the proposed increase of taxation on beer. These are the features in which interest centres, and it is over these that prolonged and heated de bate will be held. Announcement was made at the end of last week that ha aoitaa objected to the appointment of President Angell of Michigan as minister to Turkey on ac count of ideas in regard to the Sultan and his empire which Mr. Angell was supposed to hold. It has since been learned that the ground of objection waa baaed on an erroneous idea of the Congregational church, of which the Sultan understood President Angell to oe a member. It had been represented to .h Saltan that the Congregational lata were a Jeauuttteai body of a political-religions nature, with a spe cial antipathy to the Mohammedan and their religion. The true '-baracter r.f the Congregationaiista waa explained to the auitan by Minister Terrell at Constantino ple, and Mr. Terrell has informed Secreta ry Sherman that objection to President i Angeil has been withdrawn. The Bacchante ha been banished from the courtyard of the public library build ing at Boston. It waa the work of Mac Monmes. the Pan sculptor, and waa pre sented to the city by has. F. McKim of New Tork, a member of the architectural brm which designed the .ibrary building. The statue represents a naked woman, iife size, standing on one foot, the other poised in the air as if :o step forward. in her left arm siu a baby hoy looking with long ing eyes at a bunch of grapes which ' he Bacchante holds in her right hand just out of hit reach. There 1 a laughing, sensuous, pieaanre-iovins espressuon on the woman s face. So one can deny '.hat it ,9 a work of art. There waa a feeling that the statue in it significance more 'han in its nudity was out of keeping with the character of a public library, and the fire of protest in the form of newspaper articles and peti tions finally lad the trustees to decide to return the statue to Mr. McKim. A judge of the South Carolina supreme j" court has rendered a decision pronouncing unconstitutional that part ot the Tillman 1 dispensary law which forbid the importa tion of liquor in original packages for per sonal use, or the sale of such original packages within the state for use in the state. The case was that of a California j wholesale dealer named Vsndereock, who I made a shipment of wines to a party of I Charleston gentlemen .ast winter. The : wines were seized by the state authorities. The California dealer then set up the con- tenuon that he had the right to send the 1 wines into the state and sell them in the I original packages.

In a speech support ing his resolution Mr. Tillman declared that a scandal faced the Senate, and that either the-Henate should be punted, or that the press gallery, which had been making damning assertions against that body, should be cleared uf the members who were sending out false reports. He as serted that the sugar investigation nf 1804 had smirched the president, the secretary of the treasury and the finance committee, and that Senator Junes of Arkansas, had himself furnished evidence to the effect that ex-President Cleveland had told him the ugar trust shouid have a iuarter of a cent per pound differential. This chance Senator .tones promptly denied so far as it related to President Cleveland. Mr. Till man had newspaper article read stating that senators had recently made large sums of money )n speculating :u sugar stock, and ;n one instance the name of a senator was mentioned. Mr. Aldrich, in charge of the tariff bili. made an emphatic denial of all irregularity on the part of the finance committee and a special denial of charges that the sugar trust had dictated the sugar schedule of the tariff bill. The resolution -.vaa referred :o 'he committee on contingent expense. Fnr llime.r none)-. I.vman ,1. iage. secretary of the treas ury , made an excellent address at the din ner of the commercial clubs in Cincinnati on Friday night of .ast week. He said that before -aying Washington he told Mr. McKlnley that he desired permission to say for -he administration that there mutt be proper revenue raised and that there must be a sound system of currency established, and the President replied. "That is exactly what I want you to say." secretary age expressed the belief that there would be no wiilfnl obstruction of legislation and said that he had confidence in the honorable and patriotic motives of the great majority of the members of Con gress, -.rrespecttve of party. He looked for an early solution of the tariff problem. As to the financial question, he said: "if any of you harbor the suspicion that the administration, but just now installed into the responsibilities of high office, has forgotten, or i likely to forget, the man. date of the people, whose voice in behalf ot honest money and sound finances rang out .oud and clear .n November ast. put that suspicion aside, it .s unjust and un founded. In good time and in proper or der the aUirmallYe evidences f my dec laration will appear." This declaration, -oming ;n the .nter vai of long waiting while tariff legislation is in progress, ha given a welcome feeling of assurance to the business interest of the country, and has been followed, more over, oy a suggestion that President Mc Klnley may soon appoint a monetary com mission. xnioklua; nt 3tr. llrynu. Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the late vice p residential candidate f 'he Popuiuts, is on the warpath and proposes the overthrow of Manon Butler and other leaders of the Populist party, and intends incidentally to bring Mr. Bryan -o book. In hi news- paper he savs: "If Mr. Bryan is a Demo crat let him say so. that then we will know what he is. If. as his friend eaen, . , n ,. . , , , . , be is a real Populist, tet him oe honest enouch to -iut parading, in Democratic clothes and come out as he should do and not hang on to the tail of the Populist coat." Mr. Watson furthermore intimates that Mr. Bryan is not a true friend of the peo ple, but is in the pay of the enemy and -Till sell out the people the first chance be gits. He is engaged in making prepara tion for a convention which will be held in I Atlanta on June when the Populist party will take a new departure, where new lines will be established and the new policy enunciated. Delegates will also be named for the national convention to be held in Nashville on July 4. It will be seen from this that Mr. Wat son hat an aggressive campaign on foot, and intends to smoke out ail who are not in true accord with the principles of bis par ty and Mr. Bryan first of all.

The commissioner's report recom mends a complete revocation of the order, allowing agencies to stand as if the order i had not' been made. The Washington correspondent of the Tribune telb that paper that Senator Mor rill was under the care of a trained nurse luring his recent .llnass, not because his .llness waa alarming, but "because with a i.urse he is 'amenable to discipline,' where as with his family he is disposed to argue, and in the end carry his point, against medicine and nursing." The venerable statesman, aside from a troublesome cold, waa also run down by work on the tariff, to which be had been closely devoted for some weeks. His family declare that in spite of his illness the Senator is "in It," working at home with much the same in terest and industry that marked his efforts over J5 year ago. SUNDAY SCHOOL COVSSfTI02f . Thr Interesting ami HelMllil .Meeting Held at Putney on tVednesdi,), The convention of the Windham county Congregational -Sunday school wat held in Putney on Wednesday. It was opened by a praise andtayer service led by Rev. F. M. Wiswail. paffor of the Putney church. The convention was '.hen organized by the choice of Rev. M. F. Hardy of Townshend for moderator and Rev. B. A. itoodhue of Westminster West for secretary. Twelve ot the -0 schools in the county were found to be represented by ! pastors, superin tendent, teachers and scholar, beside thote of the Putney school. Rev. J. E. Fulierton spoke upon the topic "Young Men and the Sunday School; how to get them and retain them there." In treating thu subject, he said. 1. Boys and -tins are alike: that is, boys imitate their father as girls do their mother. If there are no women in the Sunday school there will be no girls: so if there are no men. there will be ho boy. J. Boy are not now as tbey were '.0 year ago. They mature much more rap idly. Look for the littie boys. Do not have two meeting at the same time, one of men in the horsesheda and the .Sunday school .n the church. i. Voting men are interested in topics of general discussion. Let the familf con versation torn ipon Sunday school topics frequently. j. 'eenre mate teacher for young men if possible. i. Let the pastor give such form to his preaching as to interest young men. How to keep them:' irod only ask u to try. Let .is ne thankful tor what we have, and do our best for our young men. Rev. P. F. Barnard of Dummerston treated the topic "Parents and the Sunday School." after the following manner: Parents are supposed to be interested for their children. 1. The Sunday school loea not take from parents their duties and privileges in working for the good of their children. -'. The parent ought himself to he in the Sunday school. ;. He should seek to impress upon the child the importance uf the Sunday school. A. it shouid be generally understood in the family that all belong to the Sunday st hot 1 and are to attend. The parent should speak familiarly of the lesson. i. It shouid be made a matter of prayer at the family aitar and in the closet. The address closed with readin; from the scripture the very pertinent passage found in Dent. .1., ; Rev. r. F. ( hapin spoke upon the ques tion, "3haii our --ounty -onvenuon be revived:'" '.irging strong reasons tor so do me. After discussion by Deacon C. F. Thompson.' Rev. J. H. Babbitt and others it waa voted to revive the convention, which ha not been held for the last four year. Rev. (r. F. Chapin. H. H. Thompson and N. i't. Williams were appointed a commit tee for that purpose. The convention met for the afternoon at half past one. The opening service was conducted by Superintendent H. H. Thompson of Brattleboro. f: Superintendent Mllon Davidson of New fane, o; urgent request of some who heard .1 at the distr.ct meeting :n Newfane m February, :ad his paper upon "How to in crease the efficiency of our Sunday schools. ' It wa full of excellent, practical point, some of which were the following: '.. The church shouid show great in terest in the Sunday school : members by attendance, pastor by preaching. 1. Try to secure better organization: beat person for superintendent, tor officers, for teacher, etc. Try to iiave better management; best use of oid methods, and also something new. 4. Try to secure netter attendance and better study. Have a good library. 1 . ' et a good home department. Let all cooperate to there ends. Papers were read ipon "My method of conducting primary work, ' by Mrs. li. F. Chapin for Miss Edith M. Foster, primary teacher At saxtons River, by Miss Helen M. Fletcher of Brattleboro. and Mlae a. . Clark of West Brattleboro. These papers wre all of much interest, and set forth the 1 importance and the methods of primary ; teaching dv these teachers of Ion; practice. An ,JV Itev. M. p. Hardv tol- lowed upon "The susceptibility of child hood to religious impression." The child is the most plastic of all things sily turned, moulded by the parents' hand, by outward influences. Thus the child may be easily led by regard for parents, family and home toward the fatherhood of 1 rod. the brotherhood of Jesus Christ, the spirit ual home in heaven. Rev. Wm. A. Estabrook of Wilmington ! discussed the iiuesuon. "What i success in the Sunday school."' He found 'he answer, not m a iarge Sunday school en rollment, not in names added from the Sun day school to the church register so much j as in changed lives. That is the true aim oi toe sunaay senooi. ana no real success in the best sense is attained without it. The .(uestion box was then opened by Rev. J. H. Babbitt, and a number of practical and interesting ' mentions were answered in bis well-known satisfactory manner.
