Argus and Patriot. Montpelier, March 25, 1896.
Various Editorial Notes. Ex-Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas, calls Senator Tillman, "John the Baptist." The characterization appears to be correct. John the Baptist lost his head. The Burlington News thinks Vermont candidates might learn something from the Tennessee Congressman who used a poster to set forth to his constituents his qualifications and to ask their support for a renomination.
The idea looks promising, but we really doubt if it would prove any more effective than Josiah Grout's method of using personal letters. wolf Byron was correct in saying that fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind" Josiah Grout ought to be a McKinley man without question. There is a close parallel between Grout begging support from men whom he has aided with political support in the past and McKinley begging money from those whom he has aided to make money in the past and who may reasonably hope to line their pockets again in the event of McKinley's success. The Senate committee on elections reported favorably last Friday on the amendment to the constitution providing for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people. The report states that the committee believes that such an amendment would bring the Senate into more amicable relations with the people, and will remove prejudices now existing, which are rapidly becoming deeply and dangerously fastened upon the public mind.
The recent occurrences in Kentucky afford good reasons why such an amendment ought to be made. The Grout papers ought to get together. They are hurting each other and the common cause by the methods they are now pursuing. Some one ought to see to it that they show a little more consistency. Some of them have been busy of late asserting that the people, the rank and file of the party, would select the candidate and that there could by no possibility be such a thing as the ring taking that out of their hands.
Now comes the Poultney Journal with a long denial of the existence of a ring and a prolonged howl for Grout, and asserts that "the leaders of a party formulate its policy and select its candidates." We are not going to dispute the assertion of the Journal, but we point out that it leaves the others in a predicament. The financial plank of the Ohio platform, to which we referred last week is supposed to have been written by MeKinley. The candidate himself, in an interview after the convention, refused to make any new statements of his position, but referred to 1 his speeches in Congress, which are as muddy and ambiguous as the platform, while his record affords no guarantee of safety from free silver aggressions. McKinley's hesitancy is Reed's opportunity. If Reed is the honest man he has been credited with being, if he holds the sound money sentiments his friends claim he holds.
now is the time for him to assert himself in the positive manner in which he was accustomed to speak before ambition took so strong a hold on him. Reed has a great opportunity. It is about time that something was being done by the Republicans towards bringing out a candidate for the lieutenant governorship. One or two papers have previously referred to the importance of the matter and have expressed some wonder at the silence of the machine managers on this point. The lieutenant governorship is not of great consequence, but a little difference over it sometimes stirs up a great deal of activity.
That is just what the ring managers appear to need at present--activity and discussion over something besides the governorship question. I it can draw the fire of the opposition away from Grout and the methods by which his candidacy is being furthered they will have done the ring a great service. Start the discussion over the minor office, gentlemen; it will prove a source of great relief for you. There is a distinct feeling of relief among Republicans that Zed S. Stanton is not to be unopposed in his ambition to be a delegate to the St.
Louis convention. Stanton is a heavy load to be carried (no reference to his physical beefy qualities is intended). He has commanded some little, half hearted support, because he was a good party man and no one had appeared in opposition to him. His injudicious, extreme and narrow-minded administration of office has disgusted members of his own tarty. He might, unopposed, have secured support on party grounds, though his course has been au actual injury to the party; but ou personal grounds there would have been few poor to do him reverence." The Republican party will stand better in the estimation of its own members and with the public at large if it allows Zed Stanton to remain at home.
The resolution censuring Ambassador Bayard for some of his public utterances was up for discussion again in the House last week, and after sharp speeches were made by some of the Congressmen it was passed. Among other things contained in the speech to which exception is taken is the following: In my own country I have witnessed the insatiable growth of that form of State socialismn styled "protection," which I believe has done more to foster class legislation and lic create inequality banish of fortune, to corrupt pub. and life, to character men of independent mind from the public councils, to blunt lower the tone of conscience, national representation, public create false standards in the popular mind, to familiarize it with reliance upon State aid and guardianship in private affairs, divorce ethics from politics, and place politics upon the low level of a mercenary scramble, than any other single cause. Let it be admitted that the utterance was indiscreet. Can it be denied that it was true? Does it become a Republican Congress to pass a resolution of censure for those remarks when their own chief vondidato for the presidential nomination is making a mercenary campaign for the vomination, relying on the power of the money he can raise from the manufacturers who hope for protection at his hands to secure his success? Can a Republican Congress honestly pass such resolutions when among their own numbers are men who protest loudly and publicly against the shameless prodigality with which the McKinley pre-convention campaign is being conducted? Since the last issue of the ARGUS AND PATRIOT another Republican State convention has been held.
We called attention last week to the unsound financlal planks adopted by the Rhode Island and Ohio conventions. The Wisconsin convention, we are grieved say, has done no better. Its financial plank starts off with the assertion The Republicans of Wisconsin are unyielding in their demand for honest money. We are unalterably opposed to any scheme that will give to this country a depreciated or debased currency. Can a silver man be found who will admit that he favors anything but honest money? Will he admit that free coinage of silver would give this country a depreciated and debased currency? A silver man can subscribe to that declaration without question.
The platform contindes We favor the use of silver as carrency, but to the extent only and under such restric. tions that its parity with gold can be maintained. Do not the silver men insist that the free coinage of that metal would at once raise it to the value of gold and keep it there? The entire plank is a straddle. It means nothing or it means everything. It is an attempt to be all things to all men.
The Republicans are loud in their boasts of freedom from silver domination and ability to ge. along without the silver States, but whenever they have an opportunity to express themselves on financial matters they make a statement to satisfy the silver men and give the sound money men what consolation they can get Organization Needed.

FLIGHT ACROSS THE CONTINENT TO SAVE Beautiful Woman's Life THE MACIC TOUCH IN THE DEATH ROOM.
Wit Chew was IL queer old miner, known throughout the Rockies from the caves of Spokana to the caves of Mexico, For 30 years (In following mining) he had gone to bed poor, expecting to be rich the next day. But his torn came. Simultaneously in three of bis mines he struck heavy bodtes of gold and silver. From the sale of his mines 11 seven weeks he received, it is auld, SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. He now had money to burn, and notwith standing he was on the shady side of sixty, with big hair and beard long And unkempt, he was considered a great catch by the mothers of marriageable daughters.
By the aid of a barber, a low Turkish baths and a tailor, Wit Chew was changed trom the rough, evil- looking man ot the caves, to a very respectable, tine-looking elderly gentle man. In this improved condition he returned to his old home in the east, where 30 years be tore he had left a sweetheart, to whom he had yowed he would soon return and make her his wife. This beautiful girl wished eight years for Wit Chew to return. During the last three vears she had not received a word from her neglectful lover. Giving hum up for dead she married a pros perous merchant.
Her husband died during the war. She died in 1867 leaving an only child, a beautiful daughter. On the old mi ger's return be lound the mother dead, but in her stead this beautiful daughter (her exact image). His love for the child knew no bounds. He could scarcely realize that she was not his old sweetheart of 30 years ago.
By his devotion and attention (possibly aided by his gold), he soon distanced all rivals, and Imogene Middleton became Imogene Chew. Never was man happier than the old miner with his girl bride. Though he WAR warned by big physician that abe was going Into decline" and could not live long, lit refused to believe it and added to her nappiness by laying in her lap the wealth of milhona. She grew tearfully and rapully worse. Many of the leading physicians of This conn try and Europe were consulted.
No two agreed as to her trouble. "A heart said one with a grave look. "A complication of difficulties, involving the heart and spleen," said 11. second, while third diagnosed the case as "a complicated and peculiar condition of lung trouble." In September of 1883, Wit Chew and bis dy. ing wife visited Boston to consult.

The middle of the following month new symptoms developed, and after consultation of physicians. Wit Chew was advised that his PRETTY WIFE was dying.

In thirty minutes he was in his pri vale car, drawn by a special engine, truck cleared, and flying at the rate of forty miles an hour. It was a RACE FOR LIFE! The doctor refused to talk to any one on the way, and apparently was keeping him mind on the dying woman.
He reached Denver at, 12:05, noon. met at the depot by Wit Chew. who, between Boba, said, "I am glad to see you, but you are too late; Imogene is dying She 19. unconscious." "Let us hasten to the house," auld the tor. He found his patient propped up in bed, gasping for breath, two nurses fanning her, cold up to her knees, and In at half oncon scions state.
In less than a mntnute Dr. Flower said, "I discover a great accumulation of matter, of pus, which is drowning out the long the beart." He realized that the woman was nearly gone. In less time than it takes to write it, his instruments were brought Into play. le made a deep incision; the heavy pus matter poured forth until nearly two plats had 4114 charged. In twenty minutes the patient was comfortable, conscious and free from labored breathing.

After inserting a drain tube, giving directions to the nurses, he pronginiced tire woman out of danger, bade the family good bye, and in just one hour and fity minutes from the time his car stopped in the depot, be pulled out for Chicago over the Bur lington road.
