SENATOKIAL ELECTIONS.

Elections for Unitel States senator,
this year, as for the past year or two, are
rather interesting and exciting. There is
Hlpple-Mitchell, of Oregon, with wife
and name after him Pomeroy, who didn't
get elected, with York in hot chase; Bogy
of Missouri, Patterson, of South Carolina,
and we don't know how many more, who
are charged with having made close alll-
ance with Money bags !" and Pinchbeck
of Louisiana, who alternately tries his
luck in either House, and with like success
in both. But all of these are of the past.
The ever living present has more charms
just now. And Massachusetts seems de-
termined to make her senatorial election an
ever living present, and never thing Of
the past. Over thirty times, and for near
ly as many days, her legislature have
marched up the election hill and then
marched down again, without accomplish
ing anything. They seem as far off from
a choice to-day, if not further than when
they took the first ballot. Charles Sumner
wrote a very laconic note to Edwin M.
Stanton, at the time of the controversy
with Andrew Johnson. 1t contained but
single word. "Stick." And he " stuck"
We know not whether such advice has
been vouchsafed to the legislature of Mass
achusetts, but it is painfully evident that

WATER.

Success sometimes has its lessons as well
as defeat. The art and science of wal has
been built up both from the results of sue
cessful campaigns and from those which
have ended in disaster. We read more
easily the lessons of defeat and disaster, be-
cause, with the result before us, we can
readily see how a movement here, certain
preparations there, and due precautions in
another place, would have turned the tide
and wrought advantage rather than ruin.
In success, we see only success and mark
not its causes. We fail TO see that an alb
scncc of these causes, these means,
these appliances would have produced
a different result Take the fire Of
yesterday morning, and it ought to show
the necessity of water. Rutland has, prob
ably, proportionally suffered more from
fires than any other village or city in New
England. We have a splendid fire depart
ment, one that cannot be cqualled any
where. They have all OF the necessary
machines, hooks, ladders, hose and other
appliances necessary for an inland town of
this size or, perhaps, double the size. This
is no idle boast. They have demonstrated
the fact upon every occasion when they
could obtain water. They demonstrated 1t
yesterday morning. At an hour when the
entire department were away from their
engines, when the members were, presum-
ably, wrapped in sound sleep, II fire burst
out in an infammablc wooden building.
Under such circumstances as these, because
water was within comparatively reason
able distance, the fire was extinguished and
but slight IN Jury done to the building. No
fire department could show better record
than was then made. Surprising the fire
had been three or four hundred feet distant
what then would have been the result !?
This question of water has been before the
Village for years. Is it not time for action
Our department can do nothing without
water. With it, fire is but plaything
with them, so quickly do they subduc it
They have shown, repeatedly, what they
can do with water, do not impose upon
them or their fellow citizens the mortified
ton or loss of showing how helpless they
are without it. 1t is about time for the
village meeting, and we trust that such ac-
ton will be taken that water will be so
placed as to be within the reach of every
building liable to fire. All taxpayers have
contributed to procure the means of battl-
ing fire, and all ought to enjoy its advant-
ages equally.
