ROssa Shot by a Woman.
She is Crazed by the Dynamiters' Work

O'Donovan Rossa, the Irish agitator,
was shot at 5.l2 p. III. Monday, in
front of the Stewart building on Cham
bers street near Broadway, New York,
by yousg woman. Only one bullet
out of five fired at him pierced his body
and that entered his back directly be-
low the left shoulder. The wound is
not thought to be dangerous. At the
hour of the shooting the streets We're
full of people making their way toward
the Brooklyn bridge and uptown, and
the excitement, although Ressa was
recognized by very few, was intense.
The woman drew a five barTeled re-
vOlver from her dress pocket and lev
cling it at her victim fired one shot.
Rossa threw his hand above his head
and crying, "I'm shot," fell heavily to
the sidewalk. The woman fred the
remaining bullets at the PROSTATE man,
and calmly ana uncOncernediy tnrned
to walk off with the smoking revolver
in her hand. City Marshal James Nc
Auley, breaking through the crowd
that had collected even before the
shooting was over, seized her with the
pistol in her hand. She offered no re-
monstrance, but allowed herself to be
pulled through the throug and taken
to the City hall station house. She
was handsome and plainly dressed,
wore spectacles and had the general
appearance of a school teacher. Her
imperturbable gravity and cOOluess
when arraigned at the sergeant's desk
were remarkable.

Mrs. Yseult Dudley, who put the bull

result of her victims injuries. The
court room was crowded, aud many
were turned away. Lawyer Arthur c.

Forestalling the Will of People
Booming a Man into Office.

The assertion is gathering force by
repetition that the purchase OF the two
st. JOhnsbury papers has in it the
booming of H. c. Idle for lieutenant
governor at the next election. And as
IA natural consequence the governor
ship just after it. The assertion may
and may not be true. True or not, the
fac remains that the thinking people
of the state should not allow their will
to be fOrestalled by such scheming as
is manifest by such a plan. An OBJ
scure paper may mention man favor
ably for an office. Such mention is
likely to he copied frequently by the
press, mostly without comment. Then
the originator of the idea repeats it
and calls attention to the notices his
own item called ont in other papers.
In this way the people are led to be-
iieve there is great and growing de
mand for the person named, and rs he
is usually man of fair ability, against
whom nothing radically wrong can be
urged, his candidacy is assumed to be
IA fixed fact, and the easy going PEG
pie accept the situation and vote him
In.
Now there is no obligation on the
people to accept "a ready made candi-
date for the gOvernorship. A man
brought forward thus early for office
two years hence, they have Il right to
regard with suspicion. 1t looks as if
he felt very doubtful of his chances in
an even race and in this way sought
an advantage his own merits would
not give him.
Again. while we believe in civil ser
vice reform, we do not know that a
governor must always be made out of
ii lieutenant governor. 1t has been
done, we know, several times with
satisfactory results, and certainly no
man should be chosen to the lesser Of
flee who is not capable of filling the
greater. But the idea that because
man has been chosen to the second
place he then has mortgage on the
first, is wholly wrong. This reasoning
followed out would make us choose our
fence viewers with an eye to their
adaptation to the governorship, to
which they would rise through regular
gradations, the holding OF one Office
giving them Il claim upon the one next
above. We argned earnestly last year
for the abandonment Of the one term
system in filling the executive chair;
we see as yet no cause for change in
our opinion.-f Newport Express.

sit is to be hoped that the name or
some characteristics of The Caledoni-
an will be preserved, for with an ex-
istence of almost forty-eight wears,
nearly half a century, it is a household
word in many families. 1t has a we'll
established and excellent reputation.
Personally we regret.to have MIR. Stone
leave the management of the paper
aud retire from the work. He has
published tirst-class paper, second to
none in the state in neatness, in me-
chauical work, in the high character of
/ its miscellany and the high moral tone
! of its editorial and local matter. The
design of the syndicate in owning and
controlling all the newspapers in st.
bloomsbury is not just now patent to
those outside. We venture no opinion
and offer no prophecy concerning the
results, only this that in five years at
least, that syndicate will know far
more about the management of news
paper and the profits than they do
now"
From the Northampton Gazette, Feb g.
ave shall regret to part with the ST.
Johnsbury Cafedonian newspaper I'M
der the management of it's able editor,
Mr.. G.. Nj. Stone. He has made it for
many wears one of the best weekly
newspapers in the country, newsy
enough, able and independent, and
full of choice reading, suitable to every
well regulated family. Mr.. Stone has
been good editor, faithful and true.
He has done the people of his region n
grand service in giving them for so
long Il time a clean and wholesome
paper, fit for any household, whose in
fiuence has been blessing and IL ben
ediction. He has been independent in
the expression of his opinions, perhaps
too much so for his own pecuuiary
good. People are very fond OF saying
they like independence, but we have
noticed as a great truth that the sort
of independence they like most, is that
which comedies with their own previ-
ously formed opinions. When II man
can read his paper and be able to say,
''that is so" "that is good" ''you've
hit it this time "yOu've expressed my
mind exactly" and such like express
sions, you may be sure he will say the
paper is a good paper" and the editor
IL very level-headed, wise man ; but
let him read something from week to
week that crosses the grain of his own
opinions, and no matter how honest or
truthful it may be, down goes the
paper, it is declared to be dirty sheet
and the editor Il pig-headed fellow,
who won't sec Il good thing when it is
put before his eyes. We shall he mis-
taken if the people of his region do not
miss MIR. Stone after he is gone from
the CaledOnian office"

An Open Secret.

1t is an open secret that political
ambition is beneath all this loyal talk
about the need of new republican pa
per at st. Johnsbury. The press of the
state, from Canada line to Massachu-
setts, points with unerring precision
to Henry c. Idle as one OF the powers
behind the throne manipulating the
wires tor his own political advance
ment. Why Mr.. Idle goes back OH
The CaledOnian no one explains. This
paper has stood by him steadfastly in
the past, and has received more adj
verse criticism from some of its best
friends from this very fact than for
any other thing it ever did. Mr.. Ide
is one of the leaders of the new news
paper enterprise here and the press OF
the state seem to understand why.
The last Montpelier Waterman, in
speaking of this matter says: 1--WE
shall watch the political developments
in that section with considerable in
terest during the next year, as it is our
notion that the next lieutenant COVER
norship will be expected to strike in
the vicinity iof st. Johnsbury.n The
Richford Gazette of the same week
says, the new paper ''will support Ill.
G. Ide for lieutenant governor" The
BrattlebOrO RefOrmer, issued the same
day, announces that the 'new news
paper at st. Jehnsbury means Senator
Ide for lieutenant governor in 1886"
The necessity for another republican
newspaper here is no longer n secret.

short funny article, brief story for
the children and four-column article
about California, where gold had then
just been discovered. This comprised
all the reading matter on the outside
pages. In this connection it is inter
estipg to notice that this "news" from
the golden state was dated Nov. 10
of the year previous. This was long
before railroads and telegraphs had
reached the Pacific coast and six weeks
was a quick transit for letter.
On the inside pages of the same pa
per there was much greater variety
of matter. There were several edito-
rial articles Free Soilism in Ohio"
"rhe. Southern Caucus "Hunting
Gold" lin California;, etc. There was
also all announcement of the celebra-
ton of the opening of the Central rail
road from Mortified to Boston. The
paper also contained the traditional
column headed Fourteen Days Later
from Europe" Congressional proceed
ings, n column or two of general news,
including battle in Yucatan, stage
robbery near Whitehall, n. Y, cholera
in New Orleans, etc. The only strict
~ local item we find is the ANNOUNCE
ment that Rev. Rufus Case preached
his farewell sermon to his church at
East st. Johnsbury the Sabbath pre-
vi0us.
We do not enumerate these incidents
to depreciate the Caledonian of 1870.
it was an excellent paper then and al
ways-but only to show how much
more the public requires of paper in
1885. 1t is safe to say that there is
four or five times the amount of work
put in the same paper to-day, as poor
as it is. We realize that the mania
for local news has gone to the extreme,
and much that is printed it were better
to leave out, yet the readers of the
paper to-day would be far from salts
fled if we should duplicate the paper
of 1919. Like the clergy and the other
professions, the demands on newspaper
men are very eXacting.

The Massachusetts Press association
held its twelfth winter gathering at the
Revere House, Boston. Jan. 9th. AT
this meeting Francis Proctor, Esq, of
the Cape Ann Advertiser, for three
wears president of the association, de-
clined a reelection, and Mr.. w. S.
Loolnis of the HoIyoke Transcript, was
elected president for the year ensuing.
After the business meeting, which in
cluded the election of all the officers
and the appointing of biographer
and historian in the person of Geo. H..
Proctor, also of the Cape Ann Adver-
User, the association with invited
guests sat down to their annual dinner,
after which there was a season of
speech making and music. These
gatherings of the brothers of the Massa-
chusetts press, are seasons of great en-
ioyment and profit, as the writer can
testify and it was with many regrets
that he was unable to accept the invi-
tation to meet with them the 9th ult.

The Caledonian as a Political
Issue.

As intimated last week, we are pref
well aware of the false gossip which
has been circulated about The Caledo-
MAN, especially in regard to the fall
ing eff in it's circulation and business
since the stand taken in the last po-
litical campaign. We shall assume
that after the investigation spoken of
last week by disinterested parties, our
friends are all satisfied OF that point
There are certain general principles
on which this paper has been run which
the public should keep in mind, and
they are so ably and tersely put in
the following article from the Water
bury Comm American, that we copy
it entire:
zone of the burning local issues
of the late presidential campaign was
the American. 1t was an issue which
we did not then discuss because other
issues considered more important at
the time, occupied our attention, and
because what we had to say on the
matter would not have received the
calm consideration we now hope for it.
The American is chiefly a business en-
terprise. 1t expects to give every one
of its patrons his moneys worth, and
it asks of him payment for nothing
more than he gets. Its chief end is to
gain readers by prlating what people
want to read-the news and it throws
in its opinions on this news, and on all
matters of human interest as they como
along, for good measures. These
opinions are its own, and they are not to
be paid for 10y an advertisement or
subscription. In short, the American
is an independent newspaper, and its
views of men and things are not guild
ed 10y the views of party leaders, mod
flied by the exigencies of party for
tunes or changed by the action of par
tv conventions. In "A concrete case,
its opinion of a mans fitness for office,
entertained and expressed freely for
many years and shared with ii cOnsid-
cradle portion of its fellOw-men, is not
changed by the fact of that mans
nomination by party for its candi-
date. This was its position during the
campaign just closed. 1t had always
protested against the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine for the presidency. In
common with thousands of other re-
publicans with which party its editors
and pr0prietOrs have been personally
in sympathy, it believed such a nomi-
nation was unfit and unsafe. The fact
that such nomination was made did
not change this opinion. 1t could not
support such nomination without
violence to it's judgment, its consis-
tency. and its conscience. In main
tanning, after the nomination, the
ideas which it entertained before it,
it abused no trust. 1t exercised sim
ply the right which every paper not IA
party organ enjoys, and which the
American has steadily maintained for
itself the right to be honest with it
self and its readers and true to its own
1t has steadily denied,
as a newspaper, the obligation of al
legiance to the republican party or the
democratic party. 1t supported Gar

Whatever betides this paper in the
future its editor is now more conf
dent than ever that the cause the pa
per has advocated will be successful
sooner OF later-namely, the cleans
ing Of the republican party from the
corrnptiOns of the past, or its giving
place to a new party-which large
numbers of the young men are all
ready to enter-nOt tramelled with a
blemished political record. The near
future is full of hope. The political
skies are big with promise for those
who insist on honesty, purity and
honor in the public service.
