The editor of the Bellows Falls

The editor of the Bellows Falls
Times was unanimously nominated
for senator by his county republican
convention last week and the occa-
sion is improved by the Rutland
Herald to speak of him as follows,
which we can most heartily endorse ::
Mr.. A. n. Swain of the Bellows
Falls Times, who, as he grows older
looks more and more like Horace
Greeley, pays hand
some compliment to his colleague on
the republican senatorial ticket, but
he modestly 'omits to mention the
other man. This makes it proper
for US to say that for sterling good
sense, fidelity to principle and uni
form worth, Mr.. Swain has long en-
joyed the highest confidence and will
be found as useful in the senate a.
he was in the house, and though 9th
er men will say more, no man will
know more. Now if the Bellows Fall
Times does not copy this item, tn
Herald will feel sighted.

The death of David DAVIS removes
one who as lawyer and statesman
achieved high reputation. He was
the friend of Abraham Lincoln, who
placed him on the Supreme Court
bench. Judge DAVIS death has not
made the sensation that it caused few
years ago, and that not because of
diminution of intellectual force, but
simply because he no longer occupied
a position of Importance in national
politics. He was one of the purest and
best of men who adorned official sta,

My proposition, said Mr.. Glad

Irish matters. This, our opponents
say, will obliterate the allegiance Of

Of Ireland has been given grudging-

that the Liberals are anxious to de-

Cobb of Indiana proudly states that
he was a militiaman, while Plumb of

generals there are Henderson of Illi-

Osborne of Pennsylvania, and MAJ
Gen. Negley of Pittsburg. Harry
Bingham was brigadier-general, land
Ketcham of New York has a similar
title. The state of Connecticut has
no soldiers in its delegation, and that

Ryan, Perkins and Peters were cap

Unless the republican senators are
in collision with the president to re-
tain their favorites in office, they will
order prompt and rigid investiga-
ton of some recent gross violations
of the civil service law in Baltimore,
Washington and elsewhere. Some
time ago Mr.. Lyman, the republican
commissioner, went to Baltimore to
hold an examination of applicants
for places in the custom house. He
found that postmaster Veasey had
removed about 800 republican en-
ployes and and appointed democrats
in their places. Instead of making
his selections from the four persons
required to be certified for selection
under the civil service rules, he picked
his men from the entire list of ellgl-
bles choosing none but democrats. Mr..
Lyman made report, in which he
accused Veasey of violating the law.
The democratic commissioners,
Messrs. Oberly and Edgerton, think
that Mr.. Lyman exceeded his author
ity in investigating Veasey. Mr.
Lyman contends that he was per-
forming his duty in ascertaining if
Federal officer had violated the law

DOES 1T PRODUCE DIPH-
THERIA?

The riparian owners living on the |
rivers which enter Memphremagog in
the Bay or at Newport, have made
complaint and resorted 10 legal means
to prevent the depositing of sawdust
and waste materials from the lumber
mills above them, owing to the great
damage occasoned by filling up the
beds of The rivers, turning their course,
washing the meadows with waste ma
terial, etc. 1t has been observed that
this decaying material has caused dis
agreeable odors, while the water has
been sensibly colored and effected by
this decaying material. 1t is posi-
BILE that this has something to do
with the diphtheria scourge in some
localities. The following article on
this same subject may be of interest
in this connection. The Friends
Repieao says: ga striking proof of
the deleterious character of water
from decaying sawdust occurred at
Rye Beach in New Hampshire in
1875, according to the statement of
DR.. A. H. Nichols of Boston.
Three hundred guests were at one
hotel, large number of whom were
attacked with a mild epidemic +; while
two hundred at another, and five hun
dred boarding houses escaped. A
careful examination was made to dis
cover the cause. The wells were on
ridge FAR away from lmpurity
Good drainage was secured by COM
petent engineers. The kitchen uten-
sils were scrupulously clean. Some
. of the guests suspecting the water
however, substituted melted ice. Thu:

The Payne Case.

Seven of the nine members OF the
Senate Committee on Elections report
to the Senate that no facts have been
shown warranting the Senate in in
vestigating Senator Payne's title to his
seat. When the report of the Ohio
Assembly became public every sensi-
BILE man who read it fOresaw this re-
suit
That report showed that the Ohio
committee had been a mere receptacle
of election gossip. The testimony it
took was so empty of facts that the
committee itself made no recommend
ations but simply flung the mass OF
secretly taken testimony into the Sen
ate. Nor, as the three Republican
Senators point out, did any indict-
ments or other attempts to punish per-
sons for bribery or corruption in the
State courts follow.
1t is plain that the whole scheme
was partisan attempt to fling dirt
so gross and so miserable a failure that
three Republican Senators about
whose party fealty no human being
has doubt have honorably refused tc
make themselves or the Senate party
to it, New York Herald.

that under Democratic management
the country would 90 to ruin. The
figures given showing the condition of
the treasury at the end of the fiscal
year rs compared with its condition a
wear ago speak louder than words.
The revenues increased $l3 600, 900

penditures were nearly SIS ,000, 600 less,
The public debt was decreased $96 .097, :
766, against $63, ,494 7CS the year before,
and the surplus in the treasury after
all expenses of the year are deducted
from the revenues reach SAG ,000, 600,
against SIS, ,00000 last year.
This is splendid showing This is
the answer that the Democratic adj
ministration makes to the doleful Re-
publican prophets and ranting dema-
gOgues who went about saying that
under a Democratic President every
thing would be stolen, the treasury
bankrupted and the country go to the
