The star route people are not nearly so i'm
patient to have justice done as they once pro-
fessed to be. On the contrary, they are ex-
hausting every device known to legal ingenui-
ty to obstruct the proceedings; and, being
aided by large number of counsel employed
by the several defendants, they accumulate
objections, arguments and technicalities in a
manner to fatigue the jury and disgust the
court In spite of their obstructive tactics,
however, some progress in the trial is being
made.

Judge Barrett not "a Candidate.

We do not need to remind our readers that
we are firm friend to Judge Barrett. The
state would be honored by his election to the
governorship or to any other place within the
gift of the people. But he isn't candidate
and cannot afford to be. He is devoted to
his profession and has gone where his bust
ness is heaviest and where the class of bust
ness he seeks can more readily find him. The
salary attached is so triAing that the honor
offers little temptation to a man of his stamp
in his position. We do not profess to know
Judge Barretts mind, but we are certain that
no true friend would advise him to jeopardize
his business interests as he would to enter

The United States Senate has this week
taken action relative to the Japanese indem-
nifty fund which is universally felt to be dis
graceful to the country. Eighteen years ago
our government received from the Japanese
government $7S5, 900 as its share of sum of
money extorted from Japan by two or three
bullying European powers. The money was
invested in United States bonds by Secretary
Seward, and has been accommodating interest
ever since, until now the interest exceeds the
principal The senate has voted to return the
$7S5,O0O to Japan and destroy the bonds,
this being practically retention of the accu-
mulated interest. The action is an insult to
Japan. Either the whole of the money or
none of it belongs to that country.

The convention of the Orange county Re-

large and enthusiastic gathering. Hon. L.
G.. Hinckley presided, and Gov. Farnham
headed the committee on resolutions. Gen.

made feeling reference TO the martyred Gar

harmony, and self-denial for the cause. N.

Both branches of Congress have now agreed
upon provision fixing sixty-fo years as the
age for the compulsory retirement of army
officers. The matter has excited great deal
of interest in army circles, and the decision
has been reached rather from a consideration
of its effect upon individual army officers than
because sixty-four years is the average age
for disability for active service. The new
rule will continue Gen. Sherman in the army
two years longer

The State Treasurership.

lfrOm the vermont WAtchman.l
Mr.. Dubois has had lifelong career as q
successful business and financial manager in
large and important undertakings. He has
discharged with high acceptation the difficult
duties of finance inspector. Ia the perform
ance of those duties he has become familiar
in practical way with the general and de-
tailed affairs of the treasurer's office. His
character and reputation are above suspicion.
He is unreservedly endorsed by the present
worthy incumbent and will continue Treasur-
er Pages thrifty and honorable administra-
ton of the most delicate trust committed to
any of the entire list of state officials. High
er praise or stronger reasons for promoting
Mr.. Dubois to the treasurership could not
well be given. Indeed his advancement to
that position is in entire harmony with the
methods and principles of true civil service
reform, and we expect his nomination by
hearty reclamation.
tFrom the West Randolph Herald.l
1t is gratifying indeed to the people in this
part of the state to see the unanimity with
which the name of W. II. Dubois has been
received as successor to our tried and true
state treasurer, Hon. j. A. Page. Every pa
per in the state, whether favoring the promi-
mont candidates for the other state offices or
not, most heartily endorses Mr. Dubois as be-
ing the man for the place, All are sorry to
lose such man as Mr.. Page, but it is fortu-
nate that his probable successor is SO well
qualified for the high and responsible trust.
The interests of the state will be safe in his
hands.

CONLY'S BODY FOUND.

The body of George A. Comfy. the drowned
musician, was found floating on Lake Spot
ford. last Wednesday morning about 6 o'clock
by F. H. Farr, Joe LaPOint and o. Il. Frink,
who we're making search in boat at that
time. The body was found about 100 rods
southeast of the point where Reitzels body
rose, and about the same distance from the
north point Of the island. The body was in
shirt-seeves aud without boots Mr. Coply's
gold watch and chain and about $35 in money
were ON his person. The face was bloated
beyond recognition, but bunch Of keys,
with key check bearing his name, with Ma
sonic emblems and name OF lodge we're sufi-
cient to identify him had any doubt on that
point been possible. The watch was stoned
at four minutes of five o'clock, three minutes
later than Reitzels. The probabilities are
that Reitzel first fell into the water and that
Comfy stripped of his coats and boots and
plunged in after him, and that, being unable
to rescue him, he then struck out to reach
the smooth water in the lee OF the island aud
hoping possibly, TO attract attention from the
boat house, but that he either became ex.
hausted or was already half strangled from
his efforts to save Reitzel. Evidence that the
boat was overturned at about the point where
Reitzel went down is found in the fact that
one Of the row-locks Of the boat was discov-
cred on the bottom, Sunday afternoon, near
where Reitzels body rose. Tho discovery
was made by the use of large raft with a
hole of 10 by ~ inches in the center, through
which man looked into the water, the light
being shut out by means OF an umbrella and
canvass. This raft was used in the early part
of the week in the search for the body, but
without success.
Mr.. Conly's body was taken ashore aud
Brattleboro friends at once notified. 1t was
placed in u metallic cAsket Theoretically
sealed, and taken 10 Philadelphia by the after
noon train, accompanied by Mr.. Conly's
brother and Prof. W. II. Alexander OF this
village. Beautiful floral emblems, Masonic
and Odd Fellows, were furnished by friends
and sent with the body to Philadelphia. Mem
bers of the Grand Army Post, learning that
Mr.. Comfy was momber of their order,
having been member of tho Goth Penna.
Vols, sent flowers to the station which were
placed in the box around the casket aud the
box itself was covered with bunting, and
draped with Grape and flowers. Funeral SER
vices were to be held this, Friday, morning,
under Masonic auspices, from the residence
of r. s. Menamin, Mr.. Oonlys brother-in-
law, in Philadelphia.
From the benefit concert given at the Acad.

ward of $4,000 was realized for Mrs. Comfy
and her children.
Young Reitzels funeral took place in New
York Saturday morning, delegations from q
large number of musical societies attending.
Mr.. Conlys brother, on leaving, expressed
his. deep sense of appreciation of the spirit Of
sympathy and helpfulless manifested by the
people of Brattleboro in connection with this
sad occurrence.
