THE CALEDONIAN CO. Burlington would like to furnish the next candidate for lieutenant governor on the republican ticket and the Waterbury Reeord says that Burlington people want C. P. Smith to enter the lists. Mayor Roberts is also to be considered if the Queen City names the candidate, so the Re cord says. The first city in the state has many men that could creditably fill this office and the best of them all is Hon. Elihu B, Taft, a man of cul ture and wide knowledge of public affairs. The war in the Transvaal helps the transatlantic liners just at the season of the year when business is always dull. The Cunard boats in the Boston service are carrying troops to South Africa and the wholesale merchants of Boston are greatly inconvenienced by this move. But England has got to have the ships and besides these boats has pressed into service the Columbia of the Hamburg-American line, the big Majestic of the White Star line and several of the slower boats of the big companies. A Good and Faithful Alan. Now that Vice President Ilobart is dead the epitaphs that he ought to have read long ago have been writ ten, and men of all parties recognize that this man who was quite un known to the general public before his election has filled a difficult posi tion with great credit. He was very close to the president in his councils arid this is as rare as it is commen dable, and his part in ridding the ad ministration of one Alger is familiar to our readers. In issuing a procla mation on Tuesday of last week the president paid this deserving tribute to his work : His participation in the business life and the lawmaking body of his native state was marked by unswerving fidelity and by a high order of talents and at tainments, and his too brief career as vice president of the United States and president ol the senate exhibited the loltitst qualities of upright and sagacious statesmanship. In the world ot affairs he had few equals amone; his contempo raries. His privatecharaeter, gentle and noble, will Ions be remembered by friends as that ol a man of singular purity and attractiveness whose sweetness of dis position won all hearts while his elevated purpose, his unbending integrity and whole-hearted devotion to public good, deserved and acquired universal respect and esteem. Keeping up the Issue. If any one thinks that ex-Spt aker Reed has lost his power since his re tirement from public life he had better change his opinion very soon as he will be for many years one of the leading statesmen in the country. At the annual banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce he was one of the principal speakers and spoke very strongly upon the gold standard. Among other good things Mr. Reed said : "New York is the acknowledged finan cial centre of the great republic. While this high position is not without its jeal ousies and enemies yet it is the great power for good which ought to be exerted for the benefit of the whole country, "Do not forget that in a great and widespread nation such as we have there are other questions besides money to be discussed and settled. If the standard quia: ion drags too long on theroadway, some impatient horsehoof may strike it into ihe mud. "I am not obtruding politics upon this assembly. That would be out ol place. Witbwut any reference to its political sig nificance take the vote of Ohio. Two years ago when we were in earnest and the question of monetary standard was lully belore the people the candidate who represented the gold standard re ceived 526 OOQ votes and all his oppon ents received was 486,000. That was 40.000 majority. This year the republi can candidate had but 49,000 plurality while a third candidate had 100,000 votes. In the old days when a majority over all was required there would have neen no election. I do not enter into the question of whether such an opposition can be united : I think if nn,,M tbelcss that is a chance which bad better not De taken. But it is not the figui themselves that are of "We have discussed many currency Mucsiiuna ana ao not agree but there is one thing on which we all agree, and that isthe basisofallcurrency thestandard on which we all agreed, are all willing to trust our prosperity," dreat Cry ; Little Wool. The newspaper silly season is sup posed to end with the dog days, but the press the past week -has been frenzied over the transfer of Admiral Dewey's house to his wife and her transfer of the same property to the Admiral's son. The American people, or at least a good many of them, got tremendously excited over the event and rushed into print to vent their feelings upon a man who a few days ago was the idol of the people and whom every man, woman and child delighted to honor. The excite ment has subsided and the American people are beginning to realize that Admiral Dewey's private affairs are bis own business and not to be brought into public print for judg ment. The Admiral was compelled to publicly state his views upon the whole matter and we commend to our readers the ideas of the hero of Manila: " "When I made over this house to my wife, I thought I was doing the most gracious act that an American gentle man could do. I thought the people had given me this house for me to dispose of as I chose. It seems that I was mis taken, I would never have sold it, nor given it, nor willed it, nor disposed of it in any manner whatsoever outs-ide of my own family. But I did believe I had the right to eive it to my wife or my son if I chose to do so. "When I accepted the house I thought it was a gift. I did not know that the people who contributed the money to buy it gave it to me with a string tied to it, or I never should have taken it. It never occurred to me that any one could have even fancied cause lor offence if I did not take the public into my confi dence or consult with them in regard to transferring to my wife the property which they had presented to me. I could see no impropriety in it. Under the law, the moment we were married she became possessed of one third of it. I could not convey it or sell t without her consent. I understand that it is the custom in the majority of cases where homes are owned and oc cupied by American families that thev stand in the name of the wife. Other American gentlemen have this privilege; why should I not have it? As for con veying it to my wife to avoid payment of any debts or obligations, I can only say that I have never had any debts." Quite Severely Punctured. The Newport Express printed two weeks ago a well-written article by Charles F. Ranney en dorsing Interstate Commissioner Prouty for the United States Senate. The writer said that Mr. Prouty was appointed on theinterstatecommerce commission by having his name unanimously selected from a notable array of Vermonters. Mr. Prouty has made a most able member of this commission, but the history of his appointment is rather interesting and a correspondent of the Newport Express gives us this interesting bit of political history: Before Mr. Prouty's name was consid ered by the president or thought of by anyone, he signified his willingness to ap point William Grout as "one ol sufficient ability," being fully determined that "it would not do to lower thestandard." But Mr. Grout declined the annointment and selected the name of his friend, Charles. A. Prouty, which was endorsed by the delegation and pressed upon the president by Mr. Grout and others till the appointment came. The friends of Mr. Prouty must confine themselves to facts if they hope to land him in the United States Senate and his boom is already quite severely punctured by the letter above quoted. State of Religion In Vermont. The New York Observer has been making a canvass of the New England states to see if religion is really on the decline as Gov. Rollins of New Hampshire asserted in his famous Thanksgiving message of 1808 and as many others continually assert. The Observer quotes Rev. C. II. Mer rill ol St. Johnsbury, secretary of the Vermont Domestic Missionary Society, upon the conditions in this state and characterizes Mr. Merrill "as the ablest of the state home missionary secretaries." Mr. Mer rill's report is very encouraging and is in part as follows: "There are no town centers where there has been such a lapse as you out line, although there are places where a newspaper correspondent or a missionary in search of a story to report might write up a moving and true tale of spirit ual destitution. "Of late years we have been working in such places until at present I cannot name a single town center where there are no regular religious services with a consequent lapse into practical heathen ism. As for the 'gores' between the parishes, there is, and always has been, more or less religious need. But of late aggressive missionary work has been done from adjacent centers of influence, i. e., from churches already established. The plant is sufficient. It needs to be used to better advantage." A Clergrmaa's Experience. M. D. Jump, D. D., Saratoga Springs, writes: "It affords me great pleasure to testily to the value of Henry & Johnson's Arnica and Oil Liniment) which I used with the most satisfactory results. Not long since, as a result of a cold and ex cessive use ol the organs of the throat, I suffered greatly from inflammation and induration of the tonsils. After trying several remedies I bethought me of your liniment, and by a single application over night the trouble was entirely re moved and I was able to go on with my work." December Magazines. The Christmas number of the Ladies Home Journal is ready, and comes out with an especially bright, attractive title page, suggestive of the season. Mr. Dooley's new serial, "Molly Donahue," commences in this number. A story of Christmas in the Colonial period, a glimpse of Christmas in the far West, a picture of the same festive time in New England are some of the attractions. In contrast there are photographs of summer day scenes and country homes. Particularly for the holidays are suggestions of gifts for the children and the older people; dainty dishes for the Christmas dinner; pretty fancy trimmings for the new gown or to freshen an old one; and a long list of equally readable articles. The prospectus for 1900 is given, and the list contains a most interesting and pleasing variety of authors and subjects. This is a magazine which contains something for every one. It is an individual family paper. In it we find history, fiction, art, music, matters pertaining to dress and to the household comfort and beauty. It is a welcome visitor every month in thousands of homes, and claims the largest circulation of any magazine published. Subscription price $1.00. Published by the Curtis Publishing House, Philadelphia, Pa. With the December number Har per's Magazine begins its hundredth volume, and enters upon the last six months of its fiftieth year. Half a century makes a vast difference both in magazines and the tastes they supply a difference which could only be understood by a comparison of the first number of Harper's with the elaborate Christmas number which has just been received, and which, as has been said, opens the hundredth volume. This Christmas number, by-the-way, ought to be remembered for a long time, if for only one thing, that is Mark Twain's short story, "The Man that Corrupted Hadley burg," which will probably be con sidered the best tale Mark Twain has ever written; in any case, whoever fails to read it will have missed one of the things that make life worh living. In the December number of the American Monthly Review of Reviews there is an editorial summary of the results of the elections, with a discus sion of their import as an indorse ment of the administration's policy. The editor also describes the progress of the Philippine campaign, the war in South Africa, and many other matters of international interest. A curious chapter in Oriental diplom acy is contributed by William N. Brewster, who writes on "China's Secret Mission to Japan." In addition to these and numerous other interesting articles is a review of the season's new books, devoting special attention to literature for the young. An .ttieinptvd Wreck. An attempt was made last week to wreck one of the cars on the electric railway when returning from Montpelier to Barre, by placing rocks on the track. Some of the rocks tasked the strength of a man to remove them. Fortunately the obstructions were discovered in time to avert an accident. The lenders to the car were lowered to the rails, the car ran slowly, a sharp look out kept and when the rocks too heavy lor the fender to dislodge were encount ered, the car was stopped and they were removed by the trainmen. Some of the stones were so placed that the wheels might run up their shelyiug surlaces and the car be ditched, The company has a clew to the perpetrator. Mtrikc nt liennington. The dissatisfaction that existed among a part of the help in the matter of wages at the big dress goods mill of Holden, Leonard & Co., at Bennington has cul minated in a strike among the carders. Eighteen of the men went out, and only enough remained to operate eight of the seventeen sets ot cards in the mill. The employees asked for an advance of 10 cents a day in their pay, which request was denied. The spinners, who were getting $1 37 a day, asked on Friday afternoon that their wages be raised to 91.0U. Ihe request wus granted. Always Doing "oiuethlng Oood. Not content with monopolizing the intellect ot New England with its editor ial page, the great variety and reliability of its news and the unusual excellence of its illustrations, The Boston Sunday Herald has just introduced a section which must appeal to the younger por tion of the household. It is devoted to a collection of original pictures by The Herald's own staff artists. These pic tures are not uproariously funny, but are intended to interest children, cause a smile among the middle-aged, and prove a mine of suggestive good humor to those who have seen funny pictures all their lives. Even those who enjoy the golden fancies ot that age when we know it all will find a smile. You don't have to read or use a magnifying glass to find the point, lor the pictures tell the stories.

The Brattleboro politicians still in sist that they will force the north end of Windham county to swallow Col.

Barre Times, Mr. Dillingham will not be sent to the senate just now. Rutland News.

Vermont should send her best man to the Senate, in order to maintain her ancient fame in that body. Boston Herald. That is just exact ly what Vermont proposes to do. And the man it will send is the man who has rendered distinguished and faithful service in the House for the longest period on record in this state. Rutland News. Men of this generation recognize in William P Dillingham the man most fitted to take up in the United States Senate the duties and responsibilities that were borne by the venerable and revered Morrill Montpelier Daily Journal. What's the matter with your Uncle Jonathan Ross, now sitting in the late Senator Morrill's seat by the grace of Governor Smith? New York Sun. The prohibitory law is beginning to be no respecter of persons. Gov ernor Woodbury and other distin guished citizens of Burlington are cited before Judge Rowell to show cause why the property they own and lease shall not be enjoined under the nuisance clause ot the prohibi tory law. Verily the world does move. This is exactly right. En force the law in spirit and to the let ter. It it is not what the people want thev will change it. Sa long as it is law, enforce it without re spect to persons. Let rich and poor take the same medicine. I Barre Telegram. There were lots of politics at the Van Ness House at Burlington on the occasion of the Fish and Game League meeting. It is a good while ahead but if the people of the state want a real Vermonter, a real man, wnose whole life has been devoted to the welfare of his state, one who is by long experience and successful business training preeminently fitted to make the state one of the best governors she ever had, they will not nominate any of the active candi dates, for that office in 1902, but will choose Hon. G. G. Benedict of Burlington. Barre Telegram. The efforts of President Tohn W. Titcomb, of the Vermont Fish and Game League, and Horace W.

St. Albans Messenger. We are unable to determine whether Gov. Smith's proclamation designating Thursday, Nov. 30, as thanksgiving day, is a pastel in prose or a plagiarism on the flowery advertisements of some of the "up-to-date" department stores. It is very evident, however, that the land scapes in our excellency's brain are dotted with signs reading "Exnan- sion." Brattleboro Phoenix. The most notable thing at the meeting of the members of the Fish and Game league at Burlington was the absence of the candidates for state and other offices, and of allu sions of a political character. There were present of course a number of ex governors, congressmen and others who had held or were still holding office, but having had honors neaped upon them time and again until satisfied, they wore that look of contentment that is worn bv all who can say, "I have bad enough. please put me upon the retired list." Fair Haven Era. Dairy Education. Special schools are ouite common now- a-days. Drawing, nurse training, cook ing, sloyd work, and a host of other lines of industry, are taught Entirely apart from other branches. This well recognized order of the day specialization has for some years enter ed into farming operations and several of the agricultural colleges of the country have conducted dairy schools. The main function ol these schools is to tench to young men and women the science and art ot butter making, the use of various kinds of dairy apparatus, the care and handling of milk, including pasteuriza tion, the testing of milk, cream, etc., for total solids, fat, acidity, taints, etc. A school ol this kind has been in opera tion every winter for eight years at the Agricultural College of this state at Bur lington. Its ninth session will open on January 2 next. The course is free to Vermonters of both sexes. Not only the professional creamery worker, but any one who may wish to learn the newer methods in dairying, is welcome. The outfit of the school includes a dozen separators, several churns, butter worker, milk testing apparatus of all kinds, etc. Three sets of lectures are given, text books are used, a system of daily ques tions and answers and of final examina tions is carried out, and, in short, modern butter duirying methods are the topic for consideration for six days in the week for four weeks. Under the management ol the most competent instructors to be procured, the students themselves handle the milk through the entire process from weigh can to butter tub, including separ ating, cream ripening, churning, wash ing, packing and testing. No entrance examinations are held or tuition charges made. The entire ex pense of the four weeks over and above travel to and from Burlington need not exceed $20. The class is limited to fifty in number. Every year lor eight years the class has been full, and often appli cants have had to be turned away for lack of room. Such of our readers as may be interest ed in dairy matters and desire to learn more are urged to send for the school circulars. Address Dairy School, Bur lington, Vermont. Fall Humor. "Poor Timmie!
