Tie right direction There is great pro-

modating tempers should assume the
management 81 affairs On both sides
Because thero Is ala "irreprossible con-
file" between Trcnor Parks and Dan
I'll Robinson Il does not follow, Chat ihc
people Of Troy and Western ami South
ern Vermont between whom there al
ways has existed friendly business ro-
lauons and GOOD feelings, should be
placed in hostile attitude The inter-
ests 81 both are now suffering badly
from this railroad imbrogioand bad feel
ing IS being cngondercd on both sides
that viii infict equal injury on both
IL allowed to simmer down into settled
hatred. While due credit should bo
given 10 Mr.. Robinson for his energy
and tenacity Of purpose ii the interest
Of the Troy and Boston r. r. hitherto,
il is not to be denied that his uilllul
stubborness aud unconelliatory DISPOSE
ton has inflicted irrepsrable injury on
the interests Of the Troy q Boston r. r..
no less on the city Of Troy II WAS TO
this cause TO which We may attribute
the hostility Of Schaghticoke and the
building Of the Albany Northern r. r.
1t is TO tins uaase that the road to-day
may attribute the array Of such large
number OF enemies to hostility to it all
along the route which It trayerses The
press Of the city have forborne thus far
to agitate the subject Of this railroad
difficulty. They are a unit on the side
OF the interests Of Troy, and have not
failed TO characterize in just terms Of
reprobation tie wrongful and unjust
seizure Of the ears and rolling stock Of
the Troy X Boston r. r. But il is too
much to expect TINT they shall remain
silent while The best interests OF this
city are being sacrificed and the trade
Of Vermont is being driven Off perma-
nently through these difficulties Mel
thcr aIr. Robinson OF any one acting
with him has the right to stand as an
obstacle in the way Of settlement The
fact that no effort Q far aa the public
know has been made on tie part Of Mr..
Rsand his associates for an arrange
ment Of conflicting views well illustrates
their uniitness longer 70 represent the
interests Of Troy and the Troy q Bos-
ton r. r. in this conflict They viii
best deserve the thanks Of the eommu-
nifty by retiring from leadership in a
controversy where their efforts in the
future can only prove detrimental 70
the interests CT Troy, and Of the corpo-
ration represented hitherto by them.
We are confident that unless this
controversy is speedily settled it will as
sumo a phase beyond the power Of the
future to heal. II is idle to say The poo
pie interested viii not build the road 10
connect Bennington with the Harlem X
r. All along the route from Rutland
south to the Harlem road aud il every
section Of Vermont the most indomita-
bic determination to build Tint road
has been everywhere manifested The
towns have everywhere voted every dol
lar of subscription asked Of them, and
from the spirit manifested it Is plain
for unprejudiced eyes to see that the
road viii be built if every rod Of terrific
in Vermont has to be mortgaged TO
raise money to build the road with 1t
is weak and idle to underestimate the
power of an opponent in a controversy.
