Brattleboro and Whitehall Railroad.

The friends of the BIattleboro and
Whitehall railroad held large and enthu-
siastic meetings at Brsttleboro, Thursday
afternoon aud evening, and an organization
was fully perfected, with these directors
and officers: President, W. II. Cook of
Whitehall ; clerk and treasurer, John A.
Butler of Jamaica directors, Charles F.
Thompson and Francis Goodhuc of Battle
boro, d. d. Dickinson of Newfane, A. C.
Howard of Townshend, +. L. Waterman
of Jamaica, E. J. Hawley and NJ s. Col
burn of Manchester. ID. l.. Kent of Dorset,
Dwight Taylor of Rupert, G. Reed Of
Pawlet, E. Temple of Granville, Ii. G.
Burleigh and w. Ii. Cook of Whitehall,
and X. E. O'Brien of New York. Great
interest is already manifested along the en-
tire route, and the officers and directors are
prominent citizens of enterprise and
means. The large meeting at the town
hall, in the evening, was addressed by
Messrs. Cook and Burleigh of Whitehall,
L. l.. Waterman of Jamaica, A. p. Childs
of Bennington, Thompson, Davenport,
Harris and Crosby of Bratteboro, Martin
of Londonderry, Stoddard of Townshend,
and many Others. Jamaica and Town
shend have already bonded for eight tines
their respective grand lists, and Brattle ooro
has raised large sum by subscription.

on, unless, indeed, come loophole Is left
open as was the case with the school fund
created by the act of 1925.
Some Of the towns In this state have, also
school funds. aside from the lands obtained
under their charters. Doctor Simeon
Smith of West Haven-a judge of the Rut-
land county court, and Judge Of probate for
the Fair Haven probate district--who died
in 1904, left by his will to that town the
sum of one thousand dollars, which he d.
rected to be loaned, In sums not exceeding
one hundred dollars, at six per cent. annu-
al interest, for sixty years at the expira-
ton Of which time, the accumulations of
prncip pal and interest-whlch he estimated
would g thirty III usand olltrs-"to 10
d" loaned, and the iateiss. ari ing thereon
{" to be approx rlsted for the benefit of
" schooling youth, to have one good gram
" mar school kept In West Haven near the
"vllage where l now live, the sover plus
" tor the benefit of other schools, and the
" Support Of g gospel minister we'll ,edu-
"cated pnd regularly instructed in the min
" istry, and, If any over, for the support
" OF the poor and needy in the said town
" of West Haven, under the direction of
" the civil authority aud the selectmen of
"said town." provid ID that the town ac-
cept the trust. In N rch 1903, the town,
by vote OF thirty-six t tbirty.two, voted
to accept the .beqrest. aud the thousand
dollars was paid over July 10 of the same
year. At the annr4l to Sn meeting In
quest was reconsidered, but the money
having been received a1d invested, the
vote was treated as Iugatory a.d of no ef-
feet. The legacy, by the trims of the will,
became available, July 10 1868, and then
amounted to nearly tweniy-three thoussl d
dollars-$22, 996 &c. OF the manageme Ut
of the fund since that date we ale unin-
formed.
Dandy has fund of ten thousand dol
lars donated to it, in 1865, by Itaac Nc
Daniels, of Rutland, the interest of which
is to be divided annually among tho several
school districts of the town. Wallingford,
too, has school fund, the income of which
is in the neighborhood of hundred dollars
year. However it may be with colleges
and academies, we very much question
whether these town or state school funds
are of any particular advantage to the peo
pie or to the schools. That is usually
priced the most which is obtained with
some little sacrifice and we believe tha
experience will show that in towns where
the schools are supported solely by direc
ak on the people better schools are tht
rule than in towns where fund or gift sup
| plies the means of education without cos
to the people-but we are open to convic
| ton on this point.

After all the learned discussions on

After all the learned dispositions on the
meaning of the word submitted" as con-
tanned in the electoral bill, what set of
nincompoops the electoral commissioners
must be to decide that counsel can be
heard upon the questions submitted" to
them ! Why, only Thursday morning, we
were told lesrnedly and dogmatically that
when the case is submitted, there is an
end of argument and evidence. 1t is
absurd to suppose that when the
case is submitted, the trial is
" to Begin" and that in this electoral con-
troversy as soon as the certificates are read
"the returns and papers will be submitted
and ''the Judges will, thereupon, retire, to
confer and make up their judgment"
Notwithstanding all this, the commission
decided that two of the sbjectors might
present the case, and then that two counsel
on each side might participate in the argl-
ment. What COMPOUNDED ignoramuses
these Judges, senators and representatives
are Why, they don't know enough to un.
derstand the meaning of the word 'sub
mitted!" Really, we pity their dense ig-
norance, but it must be that they failed tc
see the profound legal and photographer
exposition of the meaning of the word
g. submltted."

Executive Salaries.

Now that the house of representatives
proposes the reduction of the presidents
salary to $4,000, 1t may not be amiss to
see how much the maintenance of the
European ruling authorities costs. The
GEAR of Russia spends FIVE millions sterling
for his own imperial state and dignity.
The German emperor has three millions
and half at his disposal. Nine hundred
and thirty-fve thousand pounds per an
mum constitute the civil list of the Austrian
emperor. The cost of the English royal
family is between G650,00 and f700, 600
a year, exclusive of the income drawn by
the queen and the prince of Wales from
the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, re-
spectively. Victor Emmanuel languishes
under the trifling compensation of ESQ.,
600 year. Royalty directly fieeces Eu-
rope for Its own individual good, to the ex-
tent OF about twelve millions sterling

Fires in the United States.

The insurance Chronicle publishes fire
record which, although it cannot be re-
garded as complete, on account of the yet
imperfect means Of collecting such Stats
tics, show to what extent property is an
nually destroyed by fire in this country.
In 1876, 9,301 fires we're reported, involv-
ing loss of $72, 775, $780, of which the IN
surance companies paid $3S 262, 100. These
two items for 1875 we're $50, 1928, 035 and
$4s, 691, 200, respectively. The 9,3Ol fires
mentioned In the Chronicle are classified
under 300 heads. 1t is especially notewor-
thy that 300 hotels, or more than one
day on an average were destroyed. As to
the other kinds of buildings destroyed.
there were 207 country grocery stores, 215
saw mills, 100 restaurants, 1850 liquor stores,
l35 livery stables. 1866 drug stores, 1903 fur
niture factories, 81 Touring mills, 1903 car
penter shops, "a carriage factories, 70
churches, "a blacksmith shops, and 80 Ice
shops.

1t is recalled as a curious coincidence
connected with the composition of the
committee which reported the electoral
bill, that the first on the senate committee
was Mr.. Edmunds; the last on the house
committee was Mr.. Willard of Michigan.
Both are natives of Chittenden county,
Vermont. Senator Edmunds was born in

THE GOSPEL OF MERIT

Where there is so much rivalry as in the man
ufacture OF family medicines, he who would
succeed must give positive and convincing
proof Of merit, Ihis Is an age Of inquiry. Peo.
pie take nothing for granted. they must know
the "whys" and ''tchergfores" before acknowledge
ing the superiority OF one article over another.
Among the few preparations that have stood
the test, those manufactured by X. v. Pierce,
NJ. D., of the Wo Ids Dispensary, Buffalo, NJ
Y, have for many years been foremost. The
truth Of any statement made concerning them
can be easily aseertained, for Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy and DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery are now prescribed by many physi.
clans in curing obstinate cases OF Catarrh and
cipient Consumption. The discovery has no
equal In curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and
Nervous Affections 1t allays all Irritation OF
the mucous membrane, aids digestion, and
when used with Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant PurRa-
tive Pellets readily overcomes torpid iiuer and
Constipation, while the favorite prescription
has no rival in the field ofprepared medicine in
