Vermont Central Railroad.

We observe that two Of the Boston newspa-
pers. the /" Courier" and Post" are entertaining
their readers with discussion Of Central Rail
road matters; and, moreover, that some Of the
writers do not seem to be very well posted
One Of them, for instance, intimatcs that the
Trustees receive about $4,000 per year, while
the fact is that the compensation Of the Trustees
is limited to q commission on the rece pts, fix
ed by men experienced in such matters, and
men who also have the entire confidence Of the
public. The commission, of course is a reason
able one. We hope tde road ere long will earn
per annum but unfortunately it falls largely
below that sum at present We furthermore
learn that the Trustees have recently taken i'm
portant steps, which will materially lessen the
cost of operating the road through the Trustees.
Sometime since, Mr., Stearns, who has for about
two years had charge of the road, and who is
particularly and highly complimcnted by the
writer's for the Boston Post, indicated desire
to be released We are authorized to say that
on the 27th ult. Mr.. Stearns was released, and
that the Trustees also made the following ar
sangements:
LIST. Appointed John Smith of St. Adams and
VIM. r. Lee of Boston an Executive Committee
with full powers on the part Of the Trustees
3D. Appointed VIM. Raymond Lee agent of
the Trustees for running the road, from and after
the LIST inst. with full power to manage and opo-
ate it under the authority Of the Executive Com
mttee.
Sd. Agreed, that the Agent, being an officer
Of the Corporation, shall perform the duties or
agent ,oiihom compensation; and
9TH Agreed that the Trustees shall receive
no compensation for any services, except the
regular commission awarded them.
We think these arrangements certainly
do honor to the Trustees, being all clearly con
duciye to the interests Of both stock and bond
holders, by economizing in the administrations OF
the road and we trust also that it VIII be great
ly advantageous in every other respect Mir.
Lee, it is hardly necessary for us to say, has
been eminendy successful in a long course Of
service IN railroad Management; and we are
sure that with much Of his personal service, and
with assistants such as he will of course retain
or provide, those interested in the Central road
will have no reason to complain.
We understand that our old friend, Col JAMES
MooRE, is the Superintendent, both for the Cor
poration and for the Trustees. Nobody knows
The road so well as the Colonel, and nobody we
think, could be more acceptable to the opera
ives and to the public.

The United States Senator.

1t is freely admitted by all, that the present
position OF parties gives the balance of power in
the Legislature to the Free Democrats IN such
a manner that they may control the election of
the u. 5. Senator, unless in event Of one very
Improbable circumstance. The plan of an ar
rangcment between the Wings and the Free
Democrats, by which the former shall elect their
State ticket, and the latter the u. s. Senator, so
far rs we have able to learn, meets with near
ly general appreciation Of both parties. Bat they
must see that there is no alternative lor none but
what would be infinitely more offensive TO them
than this, and the plan will probably meet with
no very decided opposition, even from them
All round 1t seems TO be an arrangement by
which both parties can secure the best results to
themselves, and without which the State must
60 one year headess, armless and legless. We
sec no objection to the course, provided, always.
that the Wings, they probably will. should
bring forward their present ticket or one not less
acceptable to the Free Democracy, and also,
provided the Free Democracy on their part pre-
sent man for the Senate whose previous polite
cal position has not been especially obnoxious
to the Wings %
In assuming to act NJ exponent of the views
Of the Wings in this section, we would most
certainly take all due precauton to represent
facts brit we feel perfectly safe in saying that
not only are the Wings, generally, favorable to
the union, on the grounds above stated but also
they feel that they can do il considenNL and
that the arrangement would involve a no more

Coalition.

An unpopular word-and so Is the thing
We dislike both. But what is a condition Il
is the union of two parties Of opposite principles,
as, for instance, the coalition of 1919 between
the locofoco and ireesoil parties in Vermont, to
defeat the Wings. That was effected antece-
dent to the election-and was done without ne
cessity or good reason of any sort In 1853
there is different state ofthings The election
is over, and the result is, probably, that no one
party will have a working majority. There may,
therefore, be necessity, palpable and unavoid-
able, for concihaton-else the government may
be dsorganized and the public business suffer.
Cancellation is the thing preferable if it is posi-
be-we hope there will be no necessity for
anything else. Copciliation between those
who agree politically in most essential points
and who can conciliate without sacrl-
fee either Of principles or character Il Aa
