1t has just come out that there is a com.

1t has just come out that there is a COM
pact among the great trunk lines of rail
road between the East and West, bv which
all freights shall be charged, five cents a
hundred pounds higher from all western
points to Boston than to New York. Bos-
ton is naturally far from satisfied with
such state of things, and is angry at some
of the railroads. The Indignation is di-
rected chiefly against the New York Cen
trail railroad. which, being the main chan
mel between the West and New England.
is fairly held bound to protect New Eng
land traffic, and, so far as itselfis concerned
do it on par with New York business
The only disadvantage that Boston should
suffer in western freights is whatever DIFF
ference in cost there might necessarily be
between the carriage from Albany to Bos-
ton and from Albany to New York. Two
or three years ago it was certainly the fact
that Boston was freighting to and from the
West, both by way of the Vermont Cen
trail and the Boston and Albany, cheaper
than New York was; but that did MT build
up any other grain traffic to Europe than
such as the Boston and Albany and the
New York Central roads, Joined to the
Cunard boats. did themselves.

our opinion that the convention will nom

at the prospect, and are greatly troubled
about the Affections of young men in the
republican party, and, besides, the views of
the Judge on temperance matters in some
way do not appear to suit them But
this poignant grief has not home in many
breasts outside the ranks of the faithful
democracy.
The newspapers of the state have gener-
ally declared in favor of the Judge where
there has been any expression of opinion.
So far rs we have observed, the Rutland
Globe, Poultney Bulletin, St. Adams Mes
SenJsr, Richford Sentinel, the Montpelier
Watcln1an, Vermont Farmer, Woodstock
Standard and Woodstock Post, Ludlow Ga
zette, Brattleboro PhcniI and Brattleboro
Record have declared for him. The Rut-
land Herald has in substance said he was
the best man for the place, but we believe
thinks Rutland County ought to have the
nomination. The Burlington Free Press
and St. Adams AdUer!iser are also favor
able to him. The Free Press of Monday.
says thai there will be quite an animated
contest for delegates in that city.
The Burlington Clipper is an earnest
Taft paper and seems to be a little out of
temper at Judge Peck's candidacy There
is vast deal of nonsense being ground
out about the claims of young men That
man is young, OF that he was young but
now is old, is no reason for or against him.
A young man may have more wisdom than
an old one, and an old man may be in pro-
gresSive ideas many years in advance of a
man many years his junior.
