The DrattIebOrO, Nottingham d VIII.
mingtOn RAILROAD.

1t is rarely that any projected new enter
prise gets so good a send-off as was given the
proposed Brattleboro & Wilmington railroad
at the Wilmington meeting on Wednesday
When the Wilmington and Nottingham peo-
pie see upward of thirty of the leading bust
ness men of Brattleboro cheerfully drop eve
rything by common impulse to give a day
to an occasion like this, they may be sure
there is some motive at the bottom of their
action other than that of days pleasure
The attendance of Nottingham people was
larger than was anticipated and the attendance
and interest of the Wilmington people was
all that the most sanguine could have hoped.
The ball has been set well a-rolling, and it
now rests with every philosophical man in
the towns interested to keep it in motion.
The duty is not one of those general ones
which is everybody's business and therefore
nobody's; it is an individual duty, and must
be so considered or the movement will be a
failure.
The obstacles which lie in the way of this
enterprise are very many less than the pro-
jectors of the Brattleboro q Whitehall road
had to meet and overcome. In the case of
thatroad everything was new and problematc,
and the ground had to be fought over inch by
inch and time after time. Then IL was a
question whether the narrow-gauge system
would be success it was question wheth-
er there would be any passengers to ride or
freight to carry it was said that the bonded
towns would speedily become bankrupt
some men of apparent oandorand intelligence
seemed really to believe that the first storm
of wind and snow would bury the road so that
it would not be again heard from until spring.
and Others with whom the wish was father of
the thought, freely predicted that the end of
two years would see the track and rolling
stock lie rusting, unused and valueless. All
these lions of inexperience and unbelief stood
in the way, and it was often diseouraginR
and almost hopeless fight which the friends of
the enterprise found themselves waging. But
all that is now done away with. The road is
a great success beyond the most sanguine
hopes of its projectors, every foe has become
a staunch friend, and the people would not
part with their railroad for four times its cost.
For the Wilmington, Nottingham, Halifax
and Guilford people, with those of contigu-
GUS towns, after this experience, it is now
comparatively plain sailing. There is no
question about the practicability of the mar.
row-gauge system, the route through their
towns is entirely feasible, there is large
amount of business to be developed, there is
money enough in the towns interested to
build the road, and when it is built it will re-
turn fourfold for every dollar invested. If
we were to venture one word of advice to the
towns on the line out of our past experience,
it would be that they should take hold of this

Senator Edmunds's Views OfEublic

"How to succeed in public life" is what
the Christian Union asks several Of our SEN
ntors, and Mr.. Edmunds tells what he knows
about it in a very able and instructive way.
Ayoung man, he says, ought not TO plan for
himself political career in the sense of MAX
ing it the object of his life to hold office in
the government employ. The true and safe
theory of a republican government is that no
one has the right to be elected or appointed
to office, but that the whole body of the COM
munity have a right to select and choose
those citizens whom they think to be the best
or the best attainable. Every man, young or
old, ought to be always politician in the
best sense; that is to be taught in the
science of government and familiar with that
branch of ethics which relates to the practi-
cal creation and execution of laws to the
greatest advantage of the whole mass of the
people, with due regard always to the rights
of minorities and individuals. The same stud
les which would make young man best fit
ted to discharge his duties as private citi-
zen would, in general be most useful for
him if he were called to help in administer
ing the government. Besides the simple
scholarly attainments almost indispensable to
carrying on any business, an accurate knowl-
edge of the history and constitution of his
own state and of the United States, of the
laws of civilized countries on the subjects of
education, crime, punishment, taxation, mar
rage and divorce, pauperism and other gem
eral subjects of social science, with the broad
principles and application Of what is called
public law, would cover most of the subjects
with which he would deal as a legislator or
an administrative officer. The so-called
schools of political philosophy, says Senator
Edmunds, would be more likely to mislead
than to teach truly. In regard to the posi-
bility of success in political life without man
ipulating caucuses and conventions and max
ing political bargains, the Senator says that
in states or cities where the controlling votes
are to be bought either by money, places or
legislative jobs, it is not easy to come TO an
office without the use of these methods, but
in most Of our states and communities, he
thinks real success in political life does not
require either manipulation or bargaining
In corrupt places honest citizens can in time
cure the evil of bad elections by voting SOL
idly against candidates believed to be bad
men. There is, perhaps, no one thing so
valuable to the right progress of civilized So
ciety," he concludes, las the courage of sim
cere individual opinion; and as it regards
public affairs, the man who trieG honestly to
form an accurate conclusion, and bravely to
maintain and advance it, without counting
the number of his adversaries, will fulfil the
best mission of Citizen and will be, wheth-
er in public or private station, tho true poll
tician, often the real statesman, the best
teacher and the noblest leader"

Tho death Of Mr.. Joseph King, which
occurred on Saturday last, April %, removes
from our midst one Of our most respected
citizens. Mr.. King was born in Marlboro, and
for nearly all his days lived on the farm which
his father occupied before him. His father,
Ichabod King, came from Suifield, Conn. or
family of ten brothers and sisters, Mrs. Lu-
cinda Caldwell of West Mortified, Mass, is
the only survivor. Joseph was born Aug. 1903.
His FIRST wife was Sarah Childs Of Whining
ton, by whom he had several children, three
of whom are now living namely Joseph
Merritt King, now living in Iowa j. Leavitt
King and Mrs. Elvira Z. Priest, of this place.
For his second wife Mr.. King married Chloe
White Of Wardsboro, who has since deceased.
OF the children born Of this union only one,
Miss Mary A. King, survives. OF Mr.. King
it may truly be said that he was one of the
most honest and upright Of men, and true
Christian. Afflicted for many years with
deafness which in a measure restricted his
usefulness and intercourse with his fellow
men, he yet took a lively interest in public
affairs and was dligent reader. In the
times that tried mems souls, politically, be
was strong and outspoken in his support of
the anti-slavery cause and the war for the
Union. Faithful in all the relations of life,
as husband, father, neighbor and citizen he
was blAmeless. His funeral was attended at
his late residence on Wednesday, Revs. L.
Grout and G. II. Merrill taking part in the
services. The remains were taken 10 Mari
boro for burial.

project eaoh town on It's own account, with a
stout determination not to be overcome by
any obstacle and not to be governed by what
action any other town may take. II is true
that Wilmington people have seen several
railroad projects come TO naught, but they
should remember that the circumstances were
entirely different from those which now exist,
and past failures should only make them the
more determined TO push this, their most
promising project through TO success. The
enterprise will be killed at tho outset II they

Of life or death and the railroad friends in
those towns would not take no for an answer
1t must be SO in this case. Wilmington and
Nottingham, from their location, must be the
first towns to move, then the towns lower
down on the line must follow, and when these
have shown their faith by their works they
may rest assured that, as Brattleboro did not
turn deaf ear TO the cry of the West River
towns, so also she will not fail of her duty
toward her neighbors in the southwestern
part of the county. When it came to the final
test we have never yet known Brattleboro to
throw away golden opportunity, and she
may be depended on not to do 30 in this case.
