A BAD APPOINTMENT.

We do not desire to be captious, or
to eritici.e where there u no blame,
but the duty Of the public press, as We
opine, Is to watch carefully the inter
ssts Of the people. and to state both
facts and opinions regardless Of politi-
cal bias or personal favor. While We
believe that in the main the appoint
ments Of the Administration have been
characterized by sound judgment and
a due sense Of the popular desire and
fitness Of the incumbent, some have
been made which. to say the least, ex-
pose the appointing power to just criti-
cism. Notably among this number
was the reconciliation Of Casey to the
office Of Collector Of Customs at New
Orleans.
Casey ID the brother-in-law Of the
President; not In itself an objection,
but in view Of the following facts, we
wonder at tho appointment. 1t will
be remembered that a year ago last
Winter, grave charges were made in
Congress against this man, relating to
a $4,000 corruption fund raised to
bride the Louisiana Legislature. A
Congressional Investigating Committee
composed mainly of Republicans, Was
appointed, and the examination occu-
pied nearly two months. The commit
too reported the charges sustained In
the following language:
Casey Ia clearly proved to have been
Interested In, and the holder OF cor-
ruption fund Of $4,000, part Of $5o,-
900 fund raised by himself and otler
to bride the Legislature to pass Dill
in which he was an incorporation. Her
wig, his deputy, was at the time sen,
ator, and, when the Governor vetoed
the bill, Casey unlocked his safe In the
Custom-house, and Herwlg took out Of
IL the SIS, 900. It required just eighteen
Senators to pass the BILL"
And the committee coupled the re-
port with 4 request to the President
for the removal of the dishonest off,
olal. Yielding to the advice OF the
committee. Gen. Grant requested CO.
soy to resign, which he shortly after
ward complied with BY sending in a
letter Of resignation, to "take effect
on the appointment Of his successor"
During all the Summer Of 1917 and up
to the 4th Of March, 1873, this resigna-
ton was In the Presidents hands, but
no successor was appointed. or course
under existing laws Casey was as much
Collector as II he had never made a
move toward resignation.
The Inauguration being ended and
the Senate In Executive session for the
confirmation Of Federal appolntess,
the name Of Casey came before 1t for
re,appointment, and. after a bitter
fight, he was confirmed. This In the
face Of the report Of the committee
asking his removal. In view Of the
above facts, the appointment looks
badly, the principle appears pernicious
and the broad mantle OF personal IA
voritism seems to have been used to
cover . multitude Of official sins.

TRAVELLERS RIGHTS.

, In the olden times It was supposed
that persons elected to the Legislature
were the representatives Of the people,
and tina. their Business when there was
TO pass laws-if any were deemed nee
essary-for the public good. In our
day, however, this idea is so complete
ly at variance with legislation as to be
entirely obsolete. As an evidence OF
the way things are going on in! the
East, the following may BE- instanced +:
The Legislature Of Pennsylvania last
Winter passed an Act making 1t mis-
demeanor for any person except regu-
lar ticket agents to sell the tickets Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Heretofore In Pennsylvania or else
where, a ticket purchased from a Rail-
road Company had been supposed to
be a contract for the transportation OF
one person between the points therein
named, and several Courts In different
States have decided in unmistakaole
language that it made no difference
which way the traveller was journey
Ing ; In other words, that q party pur-
chasing a ticket paid fort certain mum
Der Of miles ride, and was entitled 10
such ride In either direction. But the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad owned
tho late Legislature Of that State,
aud tho result was tho passage
Of the above Act. Under the laws
heretofore, parties purchasing tickets
in Philadelphia or New York to st.
Louis, and not desiring to 90 farther
than Pittsburg, would give away or
sell on their own terms the unused
portion Of their tickets. This didn't
suit the Pennsylvania Central Rail-
road. for they sold through tickets to
st. Louis at very greatly reduced rates
aud 1t wouldn't do to have the Pitts
burghers take advantage Of their
through ticket arrangements. Hence
this Act was passed, making 1t a mis-
demeanor for q traveller to sell his own
property, a ticket bought and paid for
and only partly used. Verify the
ways Of the day are marvellous.
1t has been customary with our clti-
zens on returning from the East to
purchase through tickets to San Fran
cisco at the regular through rates, and
stopping at Reno, to sell or give away
their coupons to friends. or putting
them In their pockets, walt until they
desired visiting San Francisco and
then to use them. We don't think an
endeavor will be made to have the
Pennsylvania law enacted In Nevada.
Neither do we believe the Courts will
sustain It In that State. The constitu-
tionslity of the law ia to be tested
shortly In q case brought by the rail-
road agent at Pittsburg against numer-
Gus citizens guilty OF selling their own
tickets.

EIbc diIasstOrd sisters.

A larger house greeted this company on
their second appearance at the Opera House
last evening. The play was the moral
drama of The Drunkard, and was very
acceptably presented. There is not a flat
in the entire company. Each seems TO
have had experience on the stage, from the
Oldest to the youngest member. All seem
bound to fill every requirement, as far as in
their power, and much of the acting is very
superior. Mr. A. Glassford is painstaking
and versatile, playing the Irishman with
much naturaness and the ''old man" as
well. Miss Katie Glassford is received
with pleasure in any role and achieves sue
cess in all, as does also Miss Eliza as the
souJrette.
The play last evening exhibited well the
relative talents possessed by the troupe,
and was made interesting throughout. Miss
difficult part and is deserving of much
credit. She looked as handsome as ever
and was admired by all. Mr.. Glassford, as
the clown of the play, kept the house in a
roar, while Mr.. Coburn, as the villain,
showed considerable dramatic power. Mr..
Cooper acts finely in any part, and is one
of the best walking gentlemen we have
seen here this season.
Miss Katie sang the old familiar all
''IIomc, Sweet Home, very well-we wish
we could say as much for the accompani
ment given by the orchestra. They should
keep in better time and tune.
The farce was laughable in the extreme
with Miss Katie in five different charac
tiers, Mr.. Cooper as the English traveller
and Mr. Gassford as Sam, the servant
The five different presentations by Mis-
Katie were filled with nearly as much east
and abandon as if the inmitable "Lotta'
was the actress herself. She looked pref
tier than ever in the military suit of TIT
young officer.
Tonight the ever popular play of "Th'
Hidden Hand" will be given, with Mis-
Katie as "Copltola.' This certainly SHOULD
draw a crowded house.

Wooicn Factory mt Cavendish
burned.

On Wednesday morning, about half-past
one o'clock, the wooden factory. owned by
Mr.. J. L. Whipple, in Cavendish village,
was discovered TO be on fire. The flames
were first seen issuing from the cupola
Fortunately for the surrounding buildings
there was no wind, while quite n body of
snow had fallen during the night and was
still falling, which impedcd somewhat the
spread of the flames. Despite, however, the
utmost excrtions of the many who soon
gathered, the stone building was entirely
consumed in about four hours time. A few
goods were saved from the burning build
ing while much was destroyed.
Both the building and its contents were
fully insured Rumors are aflodt as to the
cause of the fire, but nothing is known at
this time as to how it was occasioned. A
large number of operatives are thrown out
of employment by the destruction of this
mandatory one of the finest buildings in
the town.

pnvvict FIFTY Years Ago.

The memories of the years that are gone
come thronghing on our minds as we reach
back and recall the events of fifty years
ago. How few of our friends and associates
of that period survive. Only one in fifty
of the voters of 1923 are now residents Of
the town. A very few who have moved
away survive. What commentary on the
text that there we have no abiding place"
Many of the leading families of that day
have no representative of tie name left in
town. We may mention the Fitchs,
Clarks, Harmons, Strongs, Porters, Shell
donds, IIascalls, Stevens, Wrights and
scores of others. Other leading families as
the Edgertons, Aliens, and Reeds have but
single representative.
At that time there were but two churches
the Congregational, Rev. John Griswold,
pastor, and the Baptist, Rev. Isaac Beall,
the united salaries of both not exceeding
FIVE hundred dollars. The physicians were
John Sargent, Oliver L. Harmon and
Samuel Potter. The only attorney, Ma
thaniel Harmon. The merchants were
Dorastus and Silas Fitch, Phineas and
Return Strong, and Reed Edgerton, at the
village. and Sylvester Norton at West
Pawlet. The trade was mostly barter
very little currency being used. There
was then cotton factory and two or three
cloth dressing mills, but cloth was mostly
spun and wove in families. Three or
four distilleries were in full operation and
farmres were employed in providing cider,
rye and corn for them. Most farmers
however, kept few sheep and some had
entered on the dairy business. The surplus
of sheep and cattle were sent in droves to
Boston and Troy markets
1t took the country long time to over
come the depression caused by the recent
war. A comparison of that period with
the present time exhibits many striking
| contrasts.
Machinery has superseded the sickle and
the scythe-the spinning wheel, the hand
loom and the needle We travel by steam,
we correspond through the agency of light
ming and have our portraits taken by sun
light More useful inventions have been
brought into use during the last fifty years
than for many previous centuries II.
