Please Explain.

According to the claim Of Harris Bros.
& Co.. as stated IN President Thompson's
report, and by b. D. Harris himself in
the Brattiebofo town meeting, they have
done in work upon the railroad only
$l77 ,706.59.
They have received in cash, according
to Mr.. Thlmpson's own st statements, $3.50,
O60, which is now in their pockets, and
$4,000 bonds, part Of which they re-
lnquished last week under the hocus-
pocus arrangement by which their con-
tract was cancelled. So that in all, up to
last week they had been paid or there
had been advanced to them, $3.50, 100000,
when according to their own claim-and
Thompson says they were losing money
right along-they had done only SLIT,
1859 of work.
How did it happen that they were
paid for $1,000 more work than they did ?
Dido't the contract provide that they
should be paid for only 80 per cent of the
work done from month to month Ninety
per cent of $l77, 1859 is $3.50. 0l6.03. Do
not your own figures, gentlemen, show
that when you were running things to
your liking you had paid Harris S20,044.-
81 more than you ought to have done?
1t was time that somebody was talking of
rottenness in your concern.
Now that Harris has dsgorged $4,000
of bonds, the paymer is to him stand at
Il few thousand dollars less than the work
he has done-if he be allowed to make
the figures.

THE Rutland Herald calls attention to
a piece of inconsistonce on the part OF
Col. Albert CLARKE of the ST. Adams Mes
senger in nominating ExG Gov. John Greg
DRY Smith "as an eminently tit and prop
er person" to represent Vermont as a del
egate to Chicago The Heratd justly re-
ular&s that this "was rather rude sur
prise from the lips of gentleman who,
for six years, denounced Gov. Smith as a
splendid scoundrel, who had robbed the
widow and the orphan through his Grim
inal mal-administration of his great rail
road trust to the enrichment of himself
and his confederates. Col Clarke's
course in this matter was incomprehensi-
bic That railroad wrecker like Gov.
Smith, man against whom evidence of
the blacklist scoundrelsm has been taken
by a legislative committee, whose meth
DDS of r.tilroading are VIGOROUSLY on
level with the late Jim Fisk's, should be
selected to represent the State, is dis
graceful that Col. Clarke, who for years
made such u manful fight against Smiths
ring should nominate him, is even more
regrettable. How does the Colonel recon-
cile his two conflicting presentations of
Smith character?

JUDGE PARDEE, of the New Haven, Ct,
police court, has embodied in several new
bills before the Connecticut legislature,
his ideas about the treatment of confirm
ed cases of viciousness. He proposes
that any person who shall be committed
to Jail three times in one year for drunk
cnness, theft, wife beating, or prostitu-
ton may, on the fourth conviction, be
put in the charge of the sheriff of the
county indefinitely, and be held in Jail or
put at work as the sheriff chooses until
declared reformed by the superior court.
lie thinks it is useless to commit such
persons to a refornatory institution for
they are beyond reformation. This is
similar in principle to the "indeterm-
nate sentence" system which works very
well in New York. There are in all the
large ciSies and even in the country,
constant and incorrigible class Of crimi-
nails, who ere only nuisance to them
selves and to society whenever allowed
to run loose, and they need some such
heroic method Of treatment as this.

THERE is a noticeable reaction this
year in liquor legislation toward prohibit
ton, or at least away from license, in
some of its most loose-iointed and i'm
practicable forms. The Virginia leyisa-
ture which f,thered the Moffat bell punch
law, concludes that 1t has been failure
and has aim, St unanimously decided to
return to an ron-clad license system at
ter May LIST In Texas il seems TO be ;td-
mitted that the bell punch also works
poorly, that though the bar tenders
VIGOROUSLY violate its provisions, it
is about as difficult to get verdicts against
them in the courts, as IL is in Vermont
under the nuisance statute, and so that
the burden of the Law falls TOO heavily
upon those sellers who register tDeir
sales honestly, a class which is steadily
decreasing. The revenue in both States
has fallen to only traction OF what il
WAS in the early days Of the l,.w. The
Texas courts are now cogitating upon the
question of tho constitutionality Of the
law. Iowa which mas lad u local option
law of late years, threatens to replace it
with straight prohibition, Il bill to that
effect having just passed tho Lower
House.

How is the New London Northern COM
pany going to get into Brattleboro with
the narrow gauge? The contract with
the Valley company leases the use OF
that railroad entering the depot to the
Brattleboro & Whitehall railroad, and TO
no other. No right or authority is given
the B. & w. R. R. Co., to transfer this
privilege to any other company, and it is
not at all likely that the Valley folks will
permit their track to be used by corpo-
ration with which they are at logger
heads, like the New London Northern,
if they can help it. Does anybody be-
lieve that the New London Northern, if
the Valley thus makes them trouble, will
be to the expense of building a new line
through Esteyville? 1t is not at all i'm
probable that Brattleboro will yet see the
folly of binding herself to pay $4,000
whether she gets any railroad or not.

Falsehoods Na"eu'

p.,,on, Thon,pson In his report tc
ps.,,,.,,oro sod Whitehall railroad
says; IVA.
tack was made upon the managers and
contractors Of the road, when, and in at-
tacks of later date, 1t was asserted that
tho road was being poorly built, that the
stock subscriptions would probably not
DO fully paid. that tho mortgage bonds OF
the road were not legal. and, in the most
unexpected and uncalled for manner the
whole enterprise was deprecated.
This sentence contains two square, de-
liberate, unmitlgated lies. These ''at-
tacks" never, on July 25th or ut any other
time, asserted that the ''stoek subscrip.
tons would probably not be paid in full,
or that the mortgage bonds were not
legal" So fay AS We know, nobody, even
in the widest dreams. ever questioned
the validity Of the roads bonds.
The REroRMER did charge that the
road was being poorly constructed. and
we stand ready to prove every word we
uttered. Beyond that. except rs regards
the responsibility of the contractors
which their release by the company
amply substantiates-no charges were
ever made. Mr.. Thompson knew that
when he uttered his oowardly lie.
As to the refrain which he picks up
from Harris, that the ATTACKS" inter
fcrel with the purchase Of iron. etc !.
only this need be said. If it was true,
the parties who made the ATTACK" could
be made to suffer for damages. They have
repeatedly challenged Harris to sue them /;
and the fact that he does not do so is
conclusive evidence that he as we'll as
Thompson knows the assertion to be ut.
terly false.
