Fol- once, the metropolitan press is in ac-
cord, and this unanmitv is caused by the
sudden and unexpected death of Mayor
Tavemeyer. While they all accord to him
honesty, integrity and sincerity of purpose,
they, also, unite in denouncing his recent
administration in unmeasured terms.
When, however, they commence to draw
the " lesson for, nowadays. there is
always " lesson in everything from the
death of public man down to his polite i
downfall they are as widely divergent us
the poles. We have space for only one of
these ,cssons," that read through the
vision of the Times. 1t inculcates, accord
ing to this authority, " that he who would
occupy a prominent public position would
. do well to cultivate that even balance of
9 character ard of conduct which disarms
adverse criticism. and helps to ncutralize
9 the worry which adds to work the ele-
= ,ncnt tina, kills" Which being interpre-
ted, we take to mean that a public man
must have no positive opinion of his OWL
must be "trimmel and be all things tc
all men, for this is the only way to, even
temporarily escape "adverse criticism.
Even this fails to permanently " dsarm
it. We should greatly dislike TO see ou

1880 majority against 1t, or more than
three to one of the votes polled."
"For congressman the first district gives
Alpheus s. Williams, democrat, 1896 ma
jority. The second rejects Henry Wal
dron, by 800 majority, and the third,
Geo. Willard, by 1893 majority, both being
republicans. In the fourth district, Allen
Potter, democrat, is elected by S5s MAORI
ty; in the fifth, William b. Williams, re-
publican, by 1, 154 majority; in the sixth,
George II. Durand, democrat, by 1885
majority. TheSeventh district gives Omer
D. Conger, republican, 1882 majority.
The eighth district Is close, but Nathaniel
B. Bradley, republican, is reelected; his
majority probably will be 40. In the
ninth district, Jay A. IIubbell had no seri-
Gus opposition, and his majority is about
$500. AS showing the changes, or appar-
ent changes, from 1872, and in the fifth
district also in a year, we append the re-
publican ajorities in the state and in the
several congressional districts at the dates
mentioned. In 1872, General Grant car
ried the state by a triile over sixty thou
sand votes, while the majorities, all repub-
lican, in the several districts were as fol-
lows: First, 1900; second, 6,90j; third,
1871; fourth, 1896; fifth, in lS72, 8,609
in 1878, to fill vacancy, ia; sixth,
5,402 seventh, 4,247; eighth, 1888
ninth, 6, 4O5. The change in the first dis
trict, composed alone of Wayne county
in which is the city Of Detroit, is not to be
wondered ut. as the city and county art
naturally democratic and never, eXccp
upon extraordinary occasions, could be re
lied upon for an anti-democratic majority
With Us, the result in the sixth district il
not so much matter of surprise as is th,
member of congress elect with whom Thu
victory was gained. The present republi
can member of congress, Begolc, was

The bill abolishing the board of cduca-
ton became law on Wednesday, and on
Thursday joint assembly made choice of
Edward Conant, principal of the normal
school at Randolph, as state superintend-
ent. Mr.. Conant received 10S votes j.
s, Ciley SO, and there were 10 scattering.
The new system goes into effect with the
good will of the people of Vermont, and
we are confident they show an increasing
interest in the cause of education. Ger
tainly no better man could have been Sc
lected than the one taken to fill the office
of State Superintendent.
Edward Conant was born in Pomfret,
VT, May 10, 1929. After leaving college,
he taught for time in Connecticut, and
afterwards in Royalton and Burlington.
In February, 1861, he took charge of Or
ange county grammar school, which grew
rapidly under his management, and was
changed in 1866 to a normal school. At
first the change greatly decreased the num-
Der of students, but for the last five or six
years 1t has grown rapidly, and is now, at
the close of Mr.. Conants connection with
it as principal, in a higher condition of
prosperity than ever before. Freeman.

Terrible Massacre.

A shocking massacre of white settlers by
Esqumaux Indians occurred at the settle
ment of Indian Tickle, Labrador, on the
night of the 10Th lust, two whole families,
with the exception of young girl, being
the victims. For some time back the In
dams had been committing robberies, and
several of the depredators being captured,
they were publicly whipped. In revenge,
on the night of the 18th inst, they attacked
the families of VIM. j. Morrison and his
two sons, Themas and Herbert, and
Robert Morrison and wife and their chill
dren, William, Charles, James and Lizzie,
numbering all except the last named.
William F. Morrison and his two sons were
foully murdered in their room, their bodies
being covered with dirk wounds, though
they had first wounded with bullets. Mrs.
Robert Morrison's throat was cut deeply in
several places, and bullet pierced her
brain. William and Charles Morrison were
stabbed in the heart, and also shot but
James, the youngest, seems to have strug-
gled hard for his life, as his corpse was
found on the stair case leading to the door,
near the corpse of an Esquimaux whom he
had shot. This is the first instance of
criminal or troublesome conduct among the
Esquimaux in Labrador in the memory of
| the Oldest fisherman.

Edmund Kinks Transactions

James II. Gilmore, known in literature
as Edmund Kirk, the author of 'The life
of Jesus" "Among the Pines," and other
works, will be sentenced to prison in the
Essex county quarter sessions in Newark,
He has been convicted of swinding, and,
as there are other like accusations pending,
it is expected that the penalty will be made
severe.
Several years ago Mr.. Gilmore married
Mrs. Burnett, the wealthy widow of a
Newark merchant. The management of
her property subsequently occupied his at
tention to the exclusion of literary pur-
suits, and he has occupied an Office in
Broad street. Lately he has been given to
drunkenness. His transactions in real es-
tite became untiustworthy and he is under
stood to have lost largely. He was ac-
cused of selling piece of mortgaged land
representing it to be unncumbercd. For
this he was convicted on the 9th of Novem-
Der. He was kept prisoner several days,
being unable to procure acceptable bail.
On the 18th he was tried on charge OF
inducing Celim Techener to take mort.
cages on four tracts of land, by falsely re-
presenting them as unincumbered, but in
this case he was acquitted. A third case,
in which he entereda plea of unintentiona

down Seminary hill with Ellis Nj. Eaton,
when the horse became frightened by q |
young man sliding down the hill, and ran.
When in front of Parks e. Woolson's ma
chine shop the sleigh was upset, throwing |
Mr.. Morse violently against tree and Mr.. |
Eaton in the snow. Mr.. Morse was taken |

proved that no bones were broken, but a
severe confusion on the left side of his
face. He is now improving rapidly. Mr.
Eaton was uninjured. The horse, after
leaving bis passengers, jumped from Il ten
foot wall and alighted facing the sleigh.
He was caught, and strange it was, there
was hardly scratch to be found upon him.
A new and valuable sleigh was consdera-

1t is all we'll enough, and the right and

propriety thereof is generally conceded by
the press, for one newspaper to copy items
or matters of news from another but
when the practice is introduced into the ed
itorial columns, 1t Is altogether another
thing. For matters of news, the press is
necessarily dependent on the telegraph and
its exchanges-aside of course, from that
