THE MACHINE IN POLITICS.

THE MACHINE IN POLITICS.
To-day the machine is nowhere Wis
IDLE in republican affairs. In the states
where it was strongest ID months ago.
it is either smashed or prudently aban-
doned 10y its former engineers. 1t is
no longer of service. Leaders have
learned that while the machine may
nominate candidates, it takes votes,
which the machine cannot make, to
elect them. The republican party is
recuperating under the discipline of
defeat, while the democracy is rioting
in the intOXication of gratultous vic
tory Philadelphia Press.
TIE NEED OF OUR COLLEGES.
But the fact cannot he disguised that
many an excellent Latin and Greek
scholar writes wretched English, while
admirable English is written by many
who know neither Latin nor Greek
What our colleges most need is not
neglect of the classics of the ancients,
but more attention to the classics of
our own tongue; an attention that
shall consist not merely in study of
its best authors, but of that unremitted
and critical practice without which, in
literature rs in everything else, no high
degree of excellence is ever attained
President Robinson of Brown.
PIERCE NOT AN OFFICE-SEEKER.
No man in the state is less an office
seeker than is Mr.. Pierce. If there is
anything like a widespread feeling
against his being Il candidate in the
party, he will instantly withdraw, no
matter how plain it could he made that
he might have the nomination. There
are serious doubts as to whether he
would accept it in any event. But Mr..
Pierce is rather dangerous man to
wake to Il personal controversy. He is
mild and amiable by nature, as thou
sands who know him can bear Witness;
but he is Il tirSt-rate fighter too, when
he is reused by any sense of injustice.
If he sees what he thinks an unfair
effort to rule him out, there is strong
likelihood Of its arousing this combat
i've element in his nature, and moving
him to a trial of titles with his oppo-
nents which he would never have
thought of making if he had been let
alone Templeton's Boston letter.

The Norwood Lumber Conn
pany.

This company is located, says II
Montpelier paper, at POtsdam June
ton, and has three mills on the Rack
ct river, with a capacity each of from
thirty-five thousand to sixty thousand
feet of lumber i'll eleven hours. There
is also large box factory and planning
mill, about twenty dwellings, Il store
and an office. The company has been
in business about seven years and has
made considerable money. It's mills
are in good condition and two of them
are nearly new. The timber lands, it
is said, have been more or less cut over
and are not considered of the highest
value, being worth from fifty cents to
81 per acre. 1t is thought that there
is sufficient stock ut the mills to run
till it freezes up and the company has
at least 3,0OO,O00 feet of lumber on
hand. The estimated worth of the
company, by persons i'll the vicinity
whose experience qualities them to
judge, varies from 100000 to $3.50, 900.
The records in the Office of the clerk
for st. Lawrence county show over
S5O,OOO of preferred claims for freight,
Insurance, accounts, acceptances, and
for money borrowed of individuals in
that vicinity and of the banks in Ma
lone and Ogdensburg. These debts
the assignee is directed to pay in full,
and then, if there is anything left, it
can he applied on the Norwood Lum-
Der company.

Prof. Stuart Phelps Acciden-
tally Shoots Himself.

Prof. Moses Stuart Phelps of North
ampton accidentally shot himself dead
at Chamberlain lake on Wednesday of
last week. He was putting a gun into
canoe, when it was discharged, send
ing IA load of buckshot into his head,
killing him instantly. He was in COM
pany with Rev. Newman Smyth and c.
w. Farnham of New Haven, CT. Prof
Phelps was about thirty-siX years old,
and was the son of Prof. Austin Phelps
of Andover and brother of the writer,
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. He was
grandson of Andover's famous Prof.
Moses Stuart, and from him derived
his Christian name. He was educated
at Yale and studied for the ministry
at Andover. He afterward became a
tutor of mathematics at Yale college
and later was an instructor in logic
and mental science at Middlebury col
lege. In 1877 he went to Germany
and after pursuing a course of study
there accepted a call to a chair in
Smith college at Northampton, with
which institution he has been connect
ed ever since. He contributed several
important articles to the Bibliotheca
Sacra, Princeton Review and other
like publications.

Fire at the Mary Fletcher Hos
pitaI. Burlington.

Outbuildings belonging to the Mary
Fletcher hospital at Burlington were
burned Friday morning. The build
ings were barn, 30x40, with carriage
house attached, and IL building some
75X20 wide, containing the laundry,
drying-rOom, carpenter shop, etc. In
the barn were a horse, valued at $50,
two wagons, hay rake and other ma
chinery and tools, and about twenty
tons of hay, and in the laundry was an
unusually large wash of clothes, includ-
ing the linen of DIR. Leith, the house
surgeon, and of most of the nurses and
patients, and a large quantity of bed
clothing, surgical towels, etc. Not IL
thing was saved from the barn, laund-
ry or shop. The loss is about $500,
! 300 of which is covered by insur-
ance. The Free Press says the fire was
undoubtedly set by one Lanya, dis
charged patient and laborer, who had
taken Offense at something the steward
had done in connection with a settle
ment. He is a Frenchman and was
sentenced to the state prison in 1876,
for eight years, for manslaughter, for
shooting man in Alburgh. After his
release from state prison, last spring,
he was before the United States court
for selling liquor without United
States license. The officers are search
ing for him, but it is feared that he
may have made his way to Canada.

The Western Union company won
in their contest with the striking en-
ployeS but it may yet prove to he a
victory that has been dearly purchased.
The agitation did not end with the
strike, and the subject is being freely
discussed and it is not unlikely that
il may result in reduction of the
present tariff for Geographic service
10y means of governmental enterprise
Some interesting facts have been
stated by President Green of the
Western Union company in his testi-
mony before the senate subcommittee
on education and labor. He said the
stock of the company consists of sOO. 900
shares, with a face value of 800 each.
OF a total of So0,OOO, 900. and that he
considers the plant and business owned
and controlled 10y the Western Union

further stated that the number of mes

said that the receipts for lsS3 would

expenses would DE SlI ,OOO,0OO, thus
leaving 4, 100 900 for construction and
repair account and the six per cent.

Ii will thus Ice seen that this is "A
company in which it pays to hold stock,
and one that cannot long afford to have

these companies are eventually swal-

Collision OH the Central YER
mont Road.

The fast train leaving Boston at one
o'clock Saturday afternoon for Chicago
via the Central Vermont railroad col
lided with the fast New York express,
which left st. Adams at 7:25 p. m, at
Colchester, about eight o'clock. The
New York express arrived first, and
had turned the switch preparatory to
setting off on the side track, but before
the engine of this train had reached
the side-track the Boston express came
along at great speed. Engineer
Jones of the Boston train applied the
air brakes, but they did not work. The
engineer and fireman of the New York
train Jumped and saved their lives. The
hands on the other train stuck to their
posts and both were badly hurt. The
New York train was nearly at a stand
still when the collision occurred, and
this fact alone prevented a most ter
rible accident. The engines and tend
ers of both trains were wrecked and
the baggage cars behind them were
telescOped, one tender going almost
through baggage car of the Boston
train. A large number of gravel train
men were in this baggage car and six
of them were slightly hurt. Thirteen
persons on the Boston train were in
.jured, as follows: 6. F. Jones, engi-
neer, badly bruised; his son, g. S.
Jones, badly bruised; w. II. ChilsOn,
severely hurt in back ; Michael Finn,
baggage-master, bad scalp-wound !;
James Rooney, cOllarbone fractured
and number of bruises about the
body; Felix Larnett, thigh fractured !;
Andrew Osier, severely bruised about
the body.
