THE American Forestry Congre.

THE American Forestry Congress,
which will be held in Atlanta, Ga, on
December next, has for Its object the
creation OF a public sentiment in favor
OF more rational treatment OF our
forest resources. The wasteful manner
in which timber supplies are squander-
ed has already proved hurtful, both di-
rectly and Indirectly, to the best inter-
ests OF the country, and the need Of
legislation on the subject becomes every
year more apparent. The introduction
and celebration OF Arbor days and the
attempt to interest the young In differ
ent ways in the growth OF trees and
shrubs have already exercised a benefi-
cial effect, and the establishment OF
forestry associations will commend
itself to all who realize how much de-
pends upon the preservation and en-
largement Of existing forest areas.

The Yste or New York.

The official vote of New York State
Is now reported except the cities of
New York and Brooklyn, and taxing
them at the semi-offcialvo announced
by the first count, the totals for Presi-
dent and Governor are ss follows:
PRESIDENT. GOVERNOR

Cleveland, D.. 632. .923 Miller, R.. CSC O65
Harrison's plu.-1 ,7s3 Hills plu.........l6, 7o7
These returns viii not be materially
varied by the full official return. Hill
leads Cleveland 13. $40 Harrison leads
Miller ,651, and Hill leads Harrison
jnst SO votes in the whole State. 1t
will be seen that q change OF less than
7,OOU votes in New YORK would have
reelected Cleveland, just as q change

The Town Hall Problem.

AS will be seen by the report of
Mondays town meeting the question of
disposing of the town hall to the cOun-
ty was left without any action, but it
is sure to come up again. The county
needs and must have more room. Ell
ther some such plan as that proposed
by Mr.. Hastings must be adopted, or
else the hall be given up. AS stated
by County Clerk Nichols the county
owns the land known as the Court
House square, and the county also built
the court house, the town contribute
ing $4,000 to the expense with the un-
derstanding that it owned the hall.
In the matter of repairs on the build
ing it was arranged that the county
should pay three fourths and the town
one fourth of the expense, and SO, in a
general way, the town is reckoned as
owning about quarter of the building.
If new town house shall be built
there are already three plans "men-
toned" one to buy the opera house
and lot corner of Central and Summer
streets and occupy the present build
ing until such time as the town is
ready to build. Another plan is to
build hall to the East of the present
court house on Court House square
and third plan is-to build hall on
Railroad street. AS this question will
soon come up again for consideration
the voters had best be thinking the
matter over.

WEST CONCORD.
The Essex County Rally.


The republicans of Essex county
held a rousing out door meeting Mon
day afternoon and an indoor meeting
in the evening. The out door gather
ing was on the common. Hon. John
B. Walbridge of Concord presided.
The platform was handsomely deco
rated. The principal speaker of the
day was Hon. w. P. Dillingham; who
discussed the tariff problem for an hour
and half The address comprised a
history of both the free trade and pro-
lection movements and the results that
followed the adoption of each where
both had been tried. The experience
of this country was graphically pOr-
trayed. His address was filled with
statistics and statements bearing on
the subject and commanded the close
attention of his large audience. Hon.
F. ID. Hale of Lunenburg spoke briefly
on the relation of tariff legislation to
lumber interests. He declared that
putting lumber on the free list would
kill the industry in Essex county. In
the evening Walter P. Smith and John
Mcdonald of st. JOhnsbury spoke on
the issues of the campaign. The st.
Johnsbury band and Mr.. Markham fur
nished music.
The prohibitionists held Tuesday

A Communication.

Mr.. EDITOR:-As L have been can
vassing among my friends in this COM
munity for the sale of votes for the re-
publican candidate in the contest for a
cane in the Catholic fair now in pro-
gress, desire to make an explanation
When this cane contest was first start
ed it was understood between the pas
tor of the Catholic church and myself
that it was to be "blind" vote and
that no counts were to be made or re-
suits announced until the conclusion OF
the fair. 1t seems that others brought
inhence to bear, however, and to my
surprise on Tuesday evening last the
ballot as it stood at that time was
posted on a blackboard and the an
nOuncement made that the vote would
be posted each evening until the close
of the fair. The vote Tuesday evening
stood John Clark (republican) 45O, j.
d. Miller (democrat) 400, w. P. Stat
ford (prohibitionist) 200.
wish my republican friends to un-
derstand that the agreement made with
me has been violated and that consider
that the republican candidate has
won the cane. Furthermore / cannot
consistently remain a member of a
church after such violation of conf
dence and withdraw therefrom, though
shall remain true Catholic. / an
in hope that the day is near when these
gambling methods, for such they art
in the lowest degree, may be done
away with and that money for churcl
building purposes may be gained hon.

last week in its announcement that
Peter Clement, of the Danville demo-
cratic town committee, had renounced
his allegiance to the democratic party
and would vote for Harrison and Nor
ton this fall. Mr.. Clement, after hav-
ing had the satisfaction of seeing his
name in print in the Boston Journal
and other papers, spOils the story by
declaring that he has no idea of vOt-
ing for any other than Cleveland and
Thurman. ''I am in full accord with
my party for tariff REFORM" he says,
''free trade not being a matter at issue
in this campaign. l have voted the
democratic ticket for over 35 years
and shall not leave the party until an
other party offers and carries out bet

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

Town Tax OF rs cents Voted.--An Hours
Boys Play and Nothing Accomplished.
There was a fair attendance at a
special town meeting Monday after
noon to vote the tax and to take action
in relation to disposing of the town
hall to the county. Alexander Dun
nett was chosen moderator. The first
matter was quickly disposed of. Town
treasurer E. d. Blodgett stated that a
tax of about 80 per cent. on the grand
list would be required to meet indebt-
edness and interest coming due, IL per
cent. for the state school tax and 80
per cent. to meet current expenses,
making rs cents in all on the grand
list, the same as last year, which was
voted without debate.
Then followed discussion as to the
wisdom of selling portion of the town
hall to the county for increased vault
room, or selling the entire hall for
county purposes. The discussion was
for the most part on the following mo-
tion as presented by Charles S. Hast
ings: "That the selectmen be author
lied to sell and convey the use OF a
space I3 Is in the north east corner
of the town hall and corresponding
space in the north west corner of the
hall to Caledonia county and to make
such alterations in the hall as may be
necessary in consequence" For the
balance of the hall Mr.. Hastings, rep
senting the st. Johnsbury band, offer
cd rental of 800 year.
County Clerk Nichols thought it for
the best interests of the town to sell
the entire hall to the county. Select
man Carpenter in response to inquiries
said that the Opera house was in the
market if the town wanted it. Judge
Smith was positive that safer and
larger vaults and better facilities for
county, but thought the proposed
changes would be sufficient for lmme-
diate needs and favored the motion.
An amendment to reserve the space
gallery ON the north end of the hall
was opposed by Messrs. Boynton, Mich
OILS, Smith and Paddock, and favored
by A. ]. Willard. just at this moment,
when the question seemed to be de-
cided and everybody was ready to vote
for the Hastings motion, Lawyer Bates
moved to amend by adding, cor the
whole of the town hall" to the motion,
thus authorizing the selectmen to sell
the entire property. He maintained
that the entire building was needed for
county purposes, that neither the town
nor the county would be satisfied if a
patched up arrangement were made,
and the thing to do if anything was
done was to sell the town hall, take
this money and add enough more
to build suitable town hall. This a
mendment was voted down and mo-
ment later the original motion was also
voted down and the whole business
left where it was in the beginning, no
action was taken and the meeting ad-
journed.
