Within a few weeks two Vermont vii
lages-South Royalton and Townshend-
have been swept by fire. In neither place
was there the slightest means of public
character for putting out a fire. Yet both
villages were thriving and could have borne
the expense of an aqueduct and one or two
hose companies without feeling it to be a
serious burden. One or two small chemi-
cal engines, such as all the city fire depart
ments now use for quenching small fires
would prove a valuable investment in every
village, large or small, for it costs next to
nothing to take care Of them and they are
always in order whatever the weather,
and will ordinarily suffice to put out fire
that has not extended beyond two or three
rooms
To the above it may be added that after
being twice almost wiped out 10y fire in its
business portions West Randolph has voted
to bring in an abundant supply of water
for fire and domestic purposes, with reser-
voirs and hydrants ON the gravity system,
at a cost Of 100000 1t should also be ad-
ded that the need of such appliances is
much greater at West Randolph than at
Townshend, the former village being a
thriving business centre and well able Ia
pay the cost of water supply and fire de
partment. But there is also IA lesson for
every such village as Townshend TO learn
in the direction indicated by the Herald

President Cleveland has made himself
appear weak and ridiculous by backing
down completely on his famous order Of last
summer forbidding office holders to take an
active part in partisan politics. The one
victim of that order was NJ T. Benton,
United States attorney for the western dis
trict of Missouri, who made political speech
es in the recent state campaign and was dis
missed for it, Last week Benton wrote the
President a letter telling him that he made
the speeches at the request of the candi-
dates and with the knowledge of the Mis-
souri, senators. and that he did not neglect
his official duties TO do this political work
The President replies by telling Benton that
he did not mean to forbid ce-holders to
make speeches to their friends and neigh
bors, but he saw in a newspaper list Of
Benton's appointments at different places,
which led him to think he was neglecting
his duties and so removed him. Mr. Cleve-
land still thinks Benton's course thought
less and subject to criticism, but neverthe.
less he reinstates him.
Such an act amounts 10 a complete abro.
cation of the Presidents order to office
holders. A door open so big crack as thi,
is practically wide open, The action look.
like a well-defined surrender to the spoils
men, and we are sorry 10 see it,

Through the promptness and diligence of
our Montpelier correspondent we give today
a summary of the substitute railroad com
mission bill reported yesterday by the special
subcommittee to whom the matter was re
ferred. The bill seems TO be wcll-consid-
cred one, embodying the best features of the
Massachusetts and New York laws. The
obvious criticism which occurs TO us is on
that provision which says that the findings
of the board shall not be received in evi-
dence in court as against the railroad com
panies. The provision of the law certainly
should be that the facts found 10y the board
are IJIimd tdcie the true ones, and that their
recommendation are p,1ma tacie reasona-
BILE This would throw the burden of proof
ON the railroads and obviate defect in the
New York law which the New York com
mission have found the greatest obstacle t.
its effectiveness

1t grows 10 look more and more as if the
Knights of Labor had learned something
from this year of strikes and persistent at

There are some interesting developments
in the Montpelier pust-oiiice case this week.
The Argus prints the call Of the Democratic
town committee for "A caucus 10 be held to
morrow evening to nominate a candidate
for postmaster, and in the same issue Mr..
Atkins prints paragraph warning the
Democrats not TO attend the caucus or take
any part in it, because its action will decide
nothing and nothing can he done till the
4th of next March" simultaneously with
these publications there appears in the two
Republican daily papers a letter from f. H.
Bascom Mr. Atkinss original candidate for
the Montpelier postmastership, in which he
tells how Atkins has deceived and misled
him. after persuading him TO sell out his
business and promising him the post-oiiice
by oct list. 1885. and how he has since
abandoned him and tried TO drive him out
Of the field with lies and threats He says
the caucus has been called to nominate "an-
other man"-an act which he protests
against-and he promises to present evidence
in the caucus which win give the lie to all
that Mr. Atkins has said. ~
The fight is apparently getting to he a
three-cornercd one, and the interesting
thing about it is that Mr. Atkins appears in
it in the role Of boss fighting and trying
to buldoze his own party The suggestion
Of caucus originally came from him but
he discovered just too late that he couldn't
control it. and SO he raises a shout to his
late followers whom he sees gathering into
a hostile camp, that they must keep away,
for to attend will do no good His last hope
is that in this way he may brighten of
enough voters 50 that he can say that the
caucus didn't represent the party.
The fact is that Mr. Atkins is at war with
his own party in his own home. More prop
erly speaking, his home followers have re
pudiated him. They have found that his
boosted strength is only weakness, and hi'
course with Bascom proves him treacherous
a majority have the courage to openly rebe
against him, and. snubhed at Washington
oftener than recognized, and repudiated a
home, it looks very much as though he ha'
seen his best days as boss. Here's stat

President Cleveland has been severely
criticised for the lack of dignity and of ap-
pr@iation of the fitness of things which he
showed by abiding in his speech at the Har
ward celebration dinner to the silly, mean
and cowardly lies that every day are found
in the columns of certain newspapers which
violate every instinct of American manli-
ness, and in ghoulish glee desecrate every
sacred relation of private life What in
stances he had in mind was not known at
the time, but it is now supposed that he re
ferred to certain dispatches which the New
York World printed six weeks ago, They
were sent from Baltimore and accused the
President of gross neglect of an uncle who
lived in that city and of disrespect to his
memory in not attending his funeral when
he died a few days afterward. The facts
proved to be that Mr. Cleveland had always
treated his uncle in the most exemplary
manner, and that his absence from the flu
neral was in accordance with the expressed
wish of the family, who recognized that his
presence would draw to the house crowd
= Epriuus people The Presidents charac-
erization of such newspaper performances
. was not too severe but his time for rebuk
ing them was ill-chosen, and moreover moth
ing could please the perpetrators so much as
to have their victim. let it be known that he

DEATH or ExpREsIDENr arthur
Al His Home ia New York Yesterday
Morning.

EN-prrsident Chester \. Arthur died yesterday
morning Al O'Clock at his home in New York
city after long and painful illness, The event
although expected for a long time was sudden at
the last. The eX President was stricken with apo
peNy Wednesday morning and did not recover
consciousness till the end For months he had
known that his case was hopeless.
Both the President and Gov. Hill of New York
announce his death in proclamations paying
warm tribute TO his memory.
The funeral services will lie held at the church
Of Heavenly Rest On Fifth avenue Monday at q
A. N Rev, Dr. Parker Morgan officiating.
Chester Allan Arthur was born October 3, 1880
the sou of a poor Irish preacher Of the Baptist
faith, Rev. William Arthur who was then minis
tering parish in Fairfield this state, on a very
small salary. The young couple had just started
in life and lived in log house Of which only the
cellar remains. II was quite near the Canada line
Young Arthur at one time taught the same
academy in Pownal, which Garfield subsequently
taught, This was after he had graduated at
Union college in 1875 He finally got enough to
gether TO send him into the law Office Of r. D. Cul-
yer, an anti slavery congressman in New York
city when he took hold of both politics and law
with ardor. The Republican party soon crystal
ned and Arthur was one Of the signers Of the first
call for a Republican club in New York city in 1856
From that day To his election as vice president Of
the United States, he was never out Of the organ
ization of the Republican party.
