sNIa;DHATE SANITARY MEAS
gJEES NECESSARY

The first and highest duty OF rulers or
those in authority, whether of high or low
degree. is, so far as they have the power, to
to see the safety, the life and health of the
community. This, we think. will be gen.
orally recognized as an axiom of political
economy, and unquestionable proposition.
In even the most despotic governments, the
public peace and the safety of the individ-
ual is provided for, so far as is possible by
systems of laws, with ample police to en-
force the laws and by proper sanitary reg
ulations. In Rutland, we endeavor to pro-
vide for the safety of the community, the
security of individuals, by apolice, night
watchman and lighted streets. But there
is another kind of safety, another kind of
security that we are entitled to. Those
having for the time being. the manage
mcnt Of our village affairs in their hands
are bound, so far as may be possible, to
provide for our health. to guard against
only by the plccepts of religion and mo-
rality, but by the express provisions of the
law. We need not refer TO the particular
provisions of the village charter, the ordi-
nanccS, or the laws giving the trustees a,l-
thorlly to make sanitary regulations,
it is enough that they have the
authority or can obtain the authority.
If the power has no, been al
ready sufficiently delegated, village meet
ing can, at once, be called and proper
power obtained existing laws will accom-
plish the remainder. 1t Is now but few
days past the middle of May, yet that most
fatal OF ordinary diseases, typhoid fever,
is making its appearance in that part of the
village known as "Nebraska. We need
not inform our readers that its appearance
is untimely that it, except from marked
and easily ascertaned causes, rarely occurs
at any other season of the year than in
autumn that. indeed, it is known in the
country as the ''autumn disease" We
| were informed, yesterday, by one of our
most learned and prominent physicians,
tii'it no bllSii W uS CHtlltly uut W Imperfect
sewerage or drainage that, to use his own
words, ''in some parts the stencil was ter
rible, uncomfortable" Unless this is, at
once, remedied he Informed us that the
consequences were awful to contemplate.
Typhoid fever in May, and from causes
which can be removed, Is fearful to con-
template. If this defective drainage, this
"terriblc stencil" is the fault of individuals.
let them at once be compelled to remedy it,
and, under existing ordinances, we believe
that they can so be compelled II the fault
is in that sewer, we trust that the trustees
will take immediate action and, if neces-
sary, call village meeting to obtain the
proper power, if they have it not already.
The sanitary condition of the village ough,
to be attended to at once 1t is fearful tc
think OF the typhoid fever sweeping as ar
epidemic over that part of the village, in
May and June, when action on the part OF
individuals, the trustees or the taxpayers
can stay its ravages. Let us have that ac
ton as soon as possible.

what the parties were or the influence they
could exert, as, also, utterly regardless of
self When relieved for day, a week, or
month, from his judicial duties, he would
retire to his farm in Jericho, in Chittenden
county, resting himself by alternate study
and the ordinary duties appertaining
to farm There he is to-day,
not dreaming that his friends. the
friends of good government, the
republican party, the people of the state
have any idea of making him governor.
Fellow citizens, here, in our judgment, is
solution of the political problem. Can a
better governor be found than Asahel
Peek: Do you want integrity, honor, in
tellgencc, capacity, ability, dignity, a
knowledge of our laws, our constitution,
and legislation? If so, Asahel Peck is the
embodiment of them all. We believe that
there is firm and determined purpose on
the part of the people, the only governor
makers, TO have governor worthy of
themselves and OF the state. and to them
we present such man in the person Of the
Hon. Asahel Peck, OF Jericho.

LOCALITY, QUALIFICATIONS.


In the multitude of councillors there IS
wisdom, but in the multiplicity of candi-
dates there is confusion--or would be, if all
were worthy and we'll qualified With a
large number of gentlcuaen, proclaimed by
themselves or their friends, as candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination. two con-
siderations generally enter in the discussion
qualifications and locality, and in refer
ence to these, without regard to particular
man or particular men, we have few
words to say, this morning. Unfortunately,
ii is true in this discussion. as it is a conso-
lation elsewhere, that the last shall be first
and the first shall be last. So now, locality
is made the prime consideration, when it
should be secondary, even if regarded at
all. We have always believed that locality
should have nothing to do with the selection
OF public officers, and Vermont is the only
slate where it is so regarded, Nature has, by
a range Of mountains, separated the state
into two very nearly equal divisions, and
custom has, also, made it a political di-
f''iP'i WV l hlttNi olhlts NtIdtDI Is Sclpcl-
ed from the east side of the mountain and
the other from the west; and the governor
is selected alternately from the one side or
the other as ''its turn" may have come. So
fixed and settled has this custom heretofore
been that it has had all the force of pro-
vision in our organic law. We have always
believed tbp IN hp and
foolish and we trust that it will soon be
abrogated. In the "talk," we can hardly
call it discussion, in reference to the indi-
vidual man for next governor, it has all
proceeded upon the basis that he must come
from the west side Of the mountain. 1t
matters now how able man may be found
to the east or how many nincompoops we
may have at the west, the west must have
the governor anyway-because of the
seemingly unanswerable argument, sit is
our town" Imagine, If you can, Pres-
dent being selected in that way, and he, in
| turn, taking the same course in reference
to the cabinet and judicial officers. In
such case, Vermont would ill the cabinet
and every vacancy on the bench Of the SUI
preme court of the United States for years
to come.
But the question of locality does not stop
here After it has been conceded to this
or the other side of the mountain, then
each county puts in its claim, using the
same forcible reason and enforcing ii by
the argument that such q county has had,
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-05-19

Save for one consideration. we believe
that the whole people of Vermont would
have been long ago, of one accord in refer
cnce to making Asahel Peck the next gov
ernor of Vermont. That consideration was
the desire to retain his services in his pre-
sent position, as one of the Judges of the
supreme court of Vermont We would be
one of the last to say or do anything which
should, unwilingly, remove him from the
bench We feel authorized. however. in
saying that it is now, and has been for
some time. his desire and intention to retire
iiom the bench at the close of his present
term. For twenty years. fourteen Of which
have been continuous, he has well, labori-
ously and faithfully served Vermont as a
Judge, and now, of his own volition, he
proposes to retire. This determination.
we know, was reached without thought of
other office, but simply because he needed
repose from his arduous studies and duties.
This determination comes almost like q
revelation to Vermont politics. 1t presents
to us, fellow citizens, the opportunity of
rounding out life, spent in our service,
by comforting upon him the highest execu-
tive honors in our gift. Can there now be
any objection to Judge Peck for governor?
Is not the presentation of his name like
pouring oil on the troubled waters

FOR GOVERNOR.

We have the pleasure, this morning, in
our own behalf and in behalf of many of
the best republicans and citizens of Rutland
county, Of presenting the name of Hon.
Asahel Peck. of Jericho, as the proper per-
son to be the next governor of Vermont.
We believe that his name will meet with
hearty response from the people, and that
they will cordially and with unanimity en-
dorse his nomination. In any ordinary
sense Of the word, Asahel Peck is not a
candidate He stands in the same position
NJ did Thomas Chttenden, Isaac Tichcnor.
Jonas Galusha, Ezra Butler, William A.
Palmer, Charles K Williams, Stephen
Royce, Inland Hall aud others like them.
They sought not the Office, the office sought
them. Cheerfully and perhaps, at some
sacrifice, they obeyed the behests of the
people. So we believe it will be with
Judge Peck. We need not inform our
readers who and what he is. They have
known him, or of him, for years. We
have spoken elsewhere of the qualifications
of which, in our judgment, Il governor
ought to be possessed, and Judge Peck
has each and every one Of them.
Although not native of the
state, he was brought here in in
fancy here he grew up. breathing the
free, pnre air of our mountains; here he
received his education and studied his pro-
fession here has been his home, and here
will be his grave, Even locality is in his
favor. For many years laborious lawyer
residing in Jericho but practicing in Bur
lington, he served the county of Chttenden
faithfully in the state senate-having pre-
viously been one of the ''circuit Judges"
during all the years, except one, of the CON
tinuance of that system--and from thence
being transferred to the bench of the SUI
preme court, in 1860, where he has contin-
ued to serve even until this day, and always
by unanimous elections. That he has been
a laborious, pains-taking, learned, honest
judge, we need not tell the people of YER
mont-they know it. He never has been,
he never could be, called RAILROAD or
an "antI-railroad" judge because he deci-
ded each and every cause, brought before
him for adjudication, with an eye single to
the law and testimony, to truth, justice
and equity, without thought of who OF

LETTERS ON CURRENT TOPICS
women m Politics.

Edit0r Of Tie Gl0be The participation
of women in the recent contest for the post
Office in this village, as shown in the letter
of the officers of the Ladies Temperance
Association to Mr.. Willard, is suggestive
of what may be expected when the sex
is admitted to the full right of suffrage.
Despite the predictions Of the advocates of
female suffrage, many Of whom seem
to expect the advent Of the millennium when
women can vote. Women act pretty mucn
as men act similarly situated, for they are
naturally neither better nor worse, morally,
than men. When, therefore, they are called
on to act in a capacity in which they have
not been accustomed to act, not having
any moral resources not vouchsated to the
sternor sex, they will necessarily fall below
the standard of men. Until then the edu-
eating power of the ballot shall have had
its eleyating influence on woman for, per-
haps, generation or two, we must expect
to see the tone of political life lowered by
her entrance into it,
In the particular case in point, the mis-
take has been made of supposing that
federal offices are created for temperance
advocates, and the women making it have
allowed themselves TO be used by men who
commit the further mistake of supposing
that these offices are created for the pur-
pose of rewarding party services. There
are some evils now affecting the country
which are worse than the evil of intemper-
ance, and one of them is political corrup-
ton. Colfax and Patterson have inflicted
a worse disgrace on the American senate
than Yates and Salisbury ever did Rich
ardson, Sawyer, Sanborn and Jayne have
injured the national character more by
their dsgracctul practices In the collection
