Hon. JOHN ". STEWART was recently
interviewed on the Edmunds question by
II representative of the Burlington Free
Press. He denied that he was or would
be a candidate for the senatorship as
against Mr. Edmunds and then gave his
view on the general question. He said ::
The public welfare, in my opinion. de
mands the retention of Mr. Edmunds.
He is the most influential man in con-
gress-thc longcst-hcadcd. the most in
dustriOus the most trusted. His long
experience, intimate acquaintance with
the legislation of the last fifteen years,
practical wisdom. acknowledged honesty,
and his strength rs a counselor and de-
batter, make him power at Washington,
How influential he Is there, can hardly
be understood by persons who do not
visit Washington. Those who do. know
the truth of what | say. 1t would be re-
garded as public calamity. there and
among Intelligent men all over the coun-
thy. if the people of Vermont should fail
to return him to the Scnatc-and | do not
believe they will fail to return him. We
have no mm who can fill lis shoes. and
he would be bold man who should pre-
sent himself as Mr.. EdmundS' successor
if he should be defeated, BE he who he
may he would be subjected to most UNI
favorable comparisons. The opinion of
the value of Mr.. Edmunds' services to the
public. and especially to the Republican
party, to which allude, is not confined
to personal or even political friends. 1t
is shared by men of our party who do
not like Mr.. Edmunds personally; and
have heard intelligent and influential
Democrats say that Mr.. Edmunds could
not be spared from the senate. 1t is not
time when the Republican party can
afford to dispense with leader and sup
porter such as Mr.. Edmunds is; and if
there are Republicans in Vermont who
do not care about retaining the position
and influence which our State possesses in
congress. they should regard the interests
of the party at Washington and at large,
and be careful about taking any false
steps in matter of such Importance.

The End of the EXPOSITION.

1t seems that the New Orleans people
were bitterly disappointed at the result
Of their application to have the govern.
ment exhibits at the exposition to re.
main for another season. 1t is claimed
that they had succeeded in raising all but
500, 600 Of the $270,000 deemed necessary
to insure the opening of the exposition
next fall, and there is not much doubt
that they would have been successful in
getting that sum if the response of the
government had been favorable.
The Attorney Generals opinion that
the executive branch of the government
had no authority to do what the New Or.
leans people wanted done, influenced the
President to deny the request TO allow the
exhibits to remain for a second season.
When the question of reopening the
exposition was first discussed, the MORN.
ING News suggested that it was
probable that the President had
no authority to grant permission for the
government exhibits to remain at New
Orleans longer than was contemplated by
Congress. The New Orleans papers took
a different view, however, for the reason,
perhaps, that they were Influenced by
their wishes rather than by their judg.
ment.
There is no reason to think that another
season would have been more successful,
financially, than that which closes to-day.
The actual expenses per day would not
have teen much less, and it IS pretty GER
tain that the attendance wouldn't have
been half as large.
The exposition has rendered a great SER
vice to the whole country. 1t has been an
educator, promoter of good feeling and
an inspirer of new undertakings. In the
South particularly, from this time on,
there will be noticeable a more enter
prising spirit and greater efforts to de-
velop resources that have hardly been
touched.

Roach's Dolphin.

Mr.. John Roach is in very good humor
doubtless atpresent. The Dolphin has at
last made successful trial trip. In fact,
it seems that she accomplished a good
deal more than was required Of her.
The Secretary Of the Navy may require
another trip TO be made before accepting
the vessel, IN order to be absolutely GER
tain that Mr.. Roach has fulfilled his con-
tract in every respect. 1t is probable,
however, that Mr. Roach would not OBJ
ject now to any number of trial trims.
The machinery of the Dolphin is running
smoothly, and there is not much danger
that the journals will become heated
again or that other accidents will happen.
The press did not deal very gently with
Mr.. Roach while he was meeting with dis
appointment after disappointment in the
Dolphin's trial trips, because there is an
impression that when Mr. Robson and
Mr.. Chandler were at the head of the
Navy Department he was favored to an
extent that was hardly justldable. How
ever. II the Dolphin is really what the
governments contract with Mr.. Roach
calls for, the press will doubtless do him
the justice TO say so.
Mr.. Roach has built a great many
steamships within the last ten or twelve
years-something like seventy
he certainly ought TO be able 90 build MS
good vessels as are built anywhere IN the
world. IL is probable that he made the
mistake Of contracting TO build the Dol
phin and other vessels for the govern
ment at too low price, and expected TO
make his profit by using materials Of an
inferior quality. lie did not expect Prob
ably that the Democratic party would get
control Of the government. In making
his bid for the contracts II is possible
that he thought only OF having TO deal
with Republican Secretary Of the Navy.
