why He Was not Pardoned.

AS we limited last week, the applica-
ton of Miles, the Barre bank burglar,
for pardon was unsuccessful. Gov.
Farnham, in denying the petition said
in substance 1t was claimed on the
part of Miles counsel, that his case
should receive some consideration fol
the reason that he was improperly re-
moved from New York city to the jul
risdictiOn of the Vermont courts, and
that he was not identified in that city
as the rObber of the Barre bank, or in
other words, that he was wrOnged by
not being permitted to prove an abb
before the courts of New York. He
was identified as the very same party
called for in the requisitiOn of Gov
Fairbanks of Vermont. 1t further ap-
peared in the requisition papers that
he was properly charged with the of
fence. The question of an alibi il
Miles case could only be tried by the
court which tried him for the offence
charged in the Indictment. AS to the
length of the sentence it does moi
seem too long for the crime committed
Upon consideration of the entire testi.
mony and atfidavits offered at the
hearing by both sides, and after con.
ference with the judges, Gov. Farm,
ham said he was convinced tina
George E. Miles, now in prison a
Windsor, is the man who was guilty o
the robbery of the Barre bank at thu
time named, that Miles had all oppOr
tunities of making his defence in eOur
that the laws of Vermont and the rule
of its courts give to persons prosecuted
for crime. Miles has nine years NOR,
to stay at Windsor.

} -Gypsies have grown to be per
feet nuisance in this locality For two
or three weeks they have had camp
near the village, and have made them
selves busy with begging for food and
clothing, until patience has ceased to
be a virtue. The camp should be
broken up and the Migrants sent else
where. Possibly Rutland could pro
vide for their wants, as the House of
Correction is located there.

Mr.. David Morrison has resigned
his position as chorister of the MethO-

vice. On Tuesday night, by his invi-
tation, some twenty-five of those who
had mt one time and another sat under
his musical instruction met at the
vestry for 'sing," and had a melOdi-
Ously merry time rehearsing some of
the old glees and more solid anthems.
When the company had "sung OUT
which was not until considerable
music had been cOmpassed-they were
invited to Mr.. MOrrison's home, where
refreshments were served. Mr.. Nor
risOn's service in musical circles has
been useful one, and there are many
who remember with pleasure the
hours passed in singing ut the beck OF
his baton. Those who were invited to
the Tuesday evening sing and could
not come, missed II good time.

beauties of the Yosemite Valley and

of that wonderful region.

the hundred guns which were borrow

per will not lose by taking such posi-
ton:
There is n vein Of jealousy running
through IN editorial in tho last issue
of the Port Oxford Post that ridicules
the idea of Yaquina Bay with it's shoals
ever becoming "A port of any pretentions,
that if il had been treated fairly and
the desire to show the advantages OF Port

pushed forward, case not altogether
bad might have been made out. How.

ors and contractors are at work on this
road 10 Yaquina Bay and the statement
positively maho that the track is alloat
for that enterprise, the attack of our
envious contemporary on the coast is lily

The Chicago Tribune OF late date
saysihat public attention has lately
been directed by tho maritime regis
ter TO another abuse of power by Pac-
inc Railroad companies. Some years
ago 1t will be remembered, that the
companies crushed the competition OF
the Pacific mail steamers and PAN
anna route by discriminating against
merchants who patrUnized them.
Tho practice was 10 give heavy re-
bates TO shippers who should send all
classes or goods by rail, but TO charge
exorbItant ireights upon those who
attempted 10 send only costly and
perishable goods In that manner, and
usc the other limo for bulky articles.
The plan which worked so success
fully in the case of the Panama route
has now been applied TO aiIing vesc-
els that go around Cape Horn. Mer-
chants in San Francisco who avail
themselves OF these means OF trans
portation find IL impossible 10 obtain
any concessions from the railroad
companies, while rivals In business
who patronize the land route exclu-
sively, arc favored regularly with en-
ormous rebates OH oil classes Of ship.
ments. This abuse Of power Is OF a
piece with that pointed out bv Con-
gresham Daggettsof Nevada, who
showed in his speech TO congress last
fall that the regular tariff IL inland
points Is made up by adding the
through rates 10 San Francisco TO local
rates from san Francisco back 10 way
stations. Congress has power TO
remedy these impudcht exactlons,
and no action could meet with 80
much favo- among the peopleIas the
shaking OF q little sense into the man
ayers Of corporations which were
founded through national aid and are
fast becoming mere instruments Of
public oppression and private greed.
