Well at least Mr. Bryan may re fleet that he had a run for his mon ey and ttat now Mr. Taft has all the hard work to do. Mr. William Corey did not at tend his sister’s wedding, but he sent a check for one hundred thou sand dollars. This is the kind of absence that makes the heart grow fonder. It must be cons g to a man like Senator Thomas Collier Platt see that people believe it will take a man like Root or Roosevelt to fill his seat. A St Louis woman wants a di vorce because her husband has giv en her only one hat and dress in twentyfive years. There is no justice in the courts if she does not win a suit this time. Even the hens are responding to the effects of the election. Eggs are selling for thirty cents a dozen as a sign of the prosperous times ahead. South Dakota has \ oted away a $600,000 annual income and the glory of her divorce courts. Where is the State now that will come to the rescue of the slightly married and reap the reward of gratitude and a full treasury. Now that the campaign, the speechmaking, the voting, the con giatulations, and the shouting are all over it must give Mr. Taft a bad taste to think of those prom ises about tariff revision. The Kaiser has suppressed an interview which he gave an Amer ican magazine writer. He prob ably preferred this method to the less original one or organizing an Ananias Club. The gunning season>n Maine has scarcely opened and there are niue hunters killed already. It is clear that it is going to be a great sea son for game. Five years ago the sales of auto mobiles amounted to $8,000,000 annually. For the past year they reached the sum of $100,000,000. all of which shows how increasing ly eager people are to buy trouble. THE DEEP-BREATHING CURE. , A boy who was consumptive and was rapidly going along the road to the grave was taken in hand by one who understood deep breathing and the importance ol proper mastication of food, etc. He was made to understand pre eisely why deep breathing was of such vital importance and he took a lively interest in his own cure. He was fourteen years old In a very few weeks the change was re markable. He began to get firm flesh on his poor little limbs, his developed well and a healthy color came into his cheeks. His eyes, which were always covered with sties, became perfectly free from them, aud in three months 4or less there was no sign of consumption in him. I may say he was only treated once a week for half an hour.—Pall Mail Gazette. <= BATTLEBORO AND VICINITY. Cotton 9 cents Spanish peanuts 77%. ; f The population of Battleboro is al so advancing. Two railroad forces double tracking, the Coast Line are located here, increasing the popula ion nearly 100. The double tracking is being pushed in both directions, Rocky Mount and Weldon. When G. W. Strickland and wife re turned from a drive Sunday evening, Mrs. Strickland, when she opened the door fonud the house filled with dense smoke. An alarm was given, but it was sometime before the fire was located, at first it was thought to be between the plastering and weather boarding and again in the ceiling. After cutting to ascertain that the fire was not there it was found in a wood box near the fire place. There never were any flames, only a smoul dering fire. The hunt for the fire did more damage than the fire itself. Jim Lynch, colored, Saturday was arrested for stealing a beef shank from the market, but was soon re leased for he proved that he had per mission from Mr. Pope, at the mark et to take ^the shank and go to Hoth aways’ store and get the money to pay .for it.

Davenport seems to be the champion sweet potatoe farmer in this section. On his Armstrong farm he has gathered 2,500 bushels all of •one variety, the Nancy Hall yam.

WASHINGTON 1.ETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Just now politicians of whom there are many in Washington, some of them distinguished, are engaged in speculations with ref erence to the outcome of tariff tinkering, electing United States Senators from New York, Ohio and other States. They are also tr? ing their hands at Cabinet making for the President elect. It is pre dieted that Myron P. Herrick, for mer Governor of Ohio will be nom inatedforthe Secretaryship of the Treasury. It is believed that Mr. Garfield will remain in his present position as Secretary of the Inter ior. In such case there would be two Cabinet Ministers from Ohio, but there is recent precedent for such an, arrangement for has not president Roosevelt three Cabinet officers all from the State of New York, in Root, Cortelyou and Strauss. The old idea that Cabi net Ministers must be picked out, with delicate consideration for Geography might as well be aban doned. When the right man is willing to serve for ten thousand dollars a year and such fame mingled with rebrobation as the place may afford him and his wife, he ought to be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate whether he hailtf from Ne vada or Rhode Island or any inter mediate State. It is pretty well understood that Secretary Root will be sent to the Senate from New York after March the fourth next, as successor to Senator Platt, pYesident of the United States Ex press Company on the floor of the Senate and opposer of the parcels post and any programme that will in any way interfere with the ex orbitant and oppressive profits of the express companies. Post master General Meyer has just completed his yearly report from the Post Office Department from whieh it appears that this depart ment is nearly, seventeen millions in arrears. A more humiliating and disgraceful condition of affairs cannot be shown in Bussia, China, or any country on the face of the earth. The Postmaster General is in no may responsible for this cod dition. He has again and again besought Congress as a body and Congressmen as individuals to en acta measure which will Dot only make the Postal Establishment a self supporting institution but will mat a it, a snmce of revenue to the Government. There are over thirty thousand lural route em ployees tramping theoountry with small packages of letters and pa pers. This year a few dollars add ed to the salary each will increase the expense of rurat mail delivery about three millions of dollars. If as the Postmaster General has urg ed, these rural routers were per mitted to deliver parcels weighing from one to eleven pounds at cost of a few cents each, it would wipe out the deficit of fifteen millions or more and make the postal ser vice self sustaining as is the Patent office. It is a disgrace to this Gov ernment that this has not long since been done and that agents of the Express Companies on the floor of the Senate and the House of Representatives with the abbre viation Hon. prefixed to their names have stood in the way of such salutary and necessary legis lation. All European countries have long enjoyed and profited by the benefits of the paicels post. It is working beautifully in what some consider the half civilized countries of the Oriqpt, but owing to the superior power of the Ex press companies lobbyists in the vaunted freest and best Govern mentin the world the Americau citizen is denied its benefits. When Secretary Root instead of Platt shall represent the wealthiest and most populous State in the Union it may be predicted that there will be something doing. He is not a military man but during his service as Secretary of War he succeeded in having legislation enacted in the teeth of the old fogy generals that was not short of revolutionary Since he has been secretary of State the Consular Service has felt his vitalizing and purifying touch and the Department of State which was cobwebbed with red tape, clogged with humdrum fogy ism has been placed' on an effec tive rational working basis. It is impossible that such a man in the Senate can be quiescentror useless much less venal and unobstructive like the man he is expected to sue ceed. There has been a wonderful change in politics and politicians during the seven years which will be known perhaps in the future as the beginning of the Rooseveltian reform era. There are others to carry on the work and it will not be arrested by the departure of the President for Africa. What a change for example has come over the.spirit of politics in New York as demonstrated in the election for the second time, of such a man as Governor Hughes elected as he was in the teeth of the fiercest op position of the machine politicians Eight years ago Secretarp Eoof would have stood no chance of coming to the donate from New York. Now he will take his place as the most conspicfous represen tative in the American House of peers, and if he does not at once begin to make himself heard and understood New York and the country will fail to get all they are entitle to. Optimistic tariff reformers are predicting that the work on the tariff schedules will be well ad vanced by the fourth of March and that after President Taft has called a special session of the Sixty first Congress for the revision of the tariff Congress will find much of its work blocked out and will probably have completed the much talked of revision of the tar rifi by the fourth of Juljj, * oastouza. Be,,, th* ^ H,T8 B0# PRINCIPLES STILL ALIVE. Mr. Bryan Confident, Despite De feat That Reform Will peme in Time. In a statement to be printed, the Commoner, under the caption: Battle Lost, a War but Begun,” Mr. Bryan says: “The election of 1$#6 Is over and the returns disclose a signal victory for our opponents, but the princi ples for which our party stands, the policies for which our party contends these are not dead. “A good proposition is not made bad by rejection at the polls; a need ed reform is not made unnecessary by an adverse vote, The legislation ftnVAd by the Democratic party in its last national platform was not of a temporary character—it was legisla tion which will be of permanent ad vantage when it is secured. Questions for Public. “Does any one believe the Amer ican people will permanently permit secrecy as to campaign contributions? Does any one believe that the Amer ican people will permaneptly permit the will of the voters to be thwarted, as iti s now, by the election of Sen ators through legislatures? Does any one believe that the trusts will be permitted to exploit the masses per manently? Does any one believe that the consumer will permanently permit the taiiff to be written by the beneficaries of that tariff? Does any one believe th$t the bpylic wir permanently tolerate estrange ment between labor and capital i uoet any ono believe that the public depositors will forever permit their savings to be jeopardized, as at pres ent? Does any one believe that the extravagance of the government will go on forever unchecked? Does any one believe that our republic will permanently consent to a colonial poli cy, with its humiliations and finan cial burdens? “There must be a party,r epre senting the people, protesting against wrong inhigh places, against corrup tion in politics, and against the op pression of the struggling masses; and the Democratic party must con tinue its fight or dissolve. It can not exist as a plutocratic party. Democratic Gains. “During the last twelve years the Democratic party has accomplished more out of power than the Republi can party has accomplished in office, and this is a sufficient reward for! those who fight for a righteous cause. “It would have been pleasant to have been able to reward worthy Democrats with off it ial positions, but the moit Worthy of the Dem ocrats are not looking for official po sitions. They are looking for good gov ernment, and they labor unselfish ly for the promotion of good govern ment. They will neither be discourag ed nor dismayed by defeat. ** l ney cannot ccasu ed in the governcent, for indiffer ence would only invite worse abuses than those from which we now suf fer. The fight mus: be continued, be cause a good government is the rich est legacy that a parent can leave a child, "As tor my seif, let no ore worry a bout my future. The holding of of fice is a mere incident in the life of those wfio are devoted to reforms. The reform is the essential thing. If one can advance reforms by hold ing office, tnen the holding of of fice is justifiable; if one ^can besc advance reforms as a private citizen, then the holuirg of olfice is undesir able. v World Owes Nothing. "The world oves me nothing; 1 have Leeri abundantly compensated for what I have been able to do. My life will not be long enough to repay ' the people for their support4 and for the confidence which they have expressed. My gratitude to those with whom I have labored surpasses language, and the days of the future will be devoted to work in the in terest of the people as I understand that interest, and in behalf of those reforms which seem to to be the best. I Invite the co-operation of those who aprove, and I shall not be deter red by the criticism of those who disapprove. "With an abiding faith in the triumph of the truth and an unfalter ing confidence in the righteousness of our cause. I 3peak this word oi encouragement to' those who cal! themselves friends. I shall keep step with them and march on. The measure of our work canot be taken in a day. If we are right, as I believe we are, it will vindicate ns; if we contribute, as I believe we are contri buting to a cause that is founded in Justice, our efforts will weigh Ini the final victory.” —Of the 11,000,000 families in Prance, nearly 2,000,000 are childless. —Rejected by the British war of fice, an areial torpedo, the invention of a Swedish artillery officer, has been purchased by* the German army. —Ladies’ Tailored Suits as low as $10.98 at W.
