The Southern Plague.

Surgeon General Hammond has trac-
ed the yellow fever plague to its
source in Key West, where it appeared
in 1887. The fever was brought to
this point from Havana in bedding.
Afterwards it appeared at various
points, at Tampa, Plant City and other
places, and DR.. Hamilton believes that
it reached Jacksonville last February.
Through general negligence and care
lessness and disregard of sanitary rules
it spread over the state. 1t appears
that the bill for state board of health
which the Florida Legislature rejected
last winter, was drawn by DR.. Hamil
ton himself. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the loss by death from the
fever of over $50 in Jacksonville alone,
including some of the best citizens of
the city, will lead to more enlightened
action on the part of the state. The
total number of yellow fever cases in
Jacksonville since the beginning of the
plague exceeds 1000.

Election.

Before another Caledonian is issued
election will be over. What will the
harvest BET Nobody knows. The es-
Inmates of the shrewdest and closest
observers are but guesses colored by
the political preferences of those who
do the guessing.
The republicans are certainly more
hopeful than at any time since the
opening of the campaign, and they
seem to have reason for their hopeful
ness. The democrats must carry New
York, anyway. The republicans can
afford to lose New York if they carry
Indiana and Connecticut or New Jer-
sey. But the democrats are claiming
Indiana as well as Connecticut and
New Jersey, while some of the more
sanguine ones also claim New Hamp.
shire and Michigan. Ont of all this
confusion of "claims" one mans judg-
ment is as good as another. The re-
publicans have been at no time so con-
fident of New York as now, and this
feeling is strengthened by the attitude
of the New York Herald, sort of pO-
litical weather vane, and of the New
York Sun, that comedies the state to
the republicans by 1000 plurality.
We shall soon see.
Keep cool.
Don't bet.

The New Times Building.

One of the most remarkable feats in
the way of erection of large and ele-
CANT building is about being accom-
plished in the reconstruction of the
New York Times building, on Printing
House square. The problem was this
To make an entirely new building on
the site of the old one without disturb
ing the occupants or in any way inter-
rupting the daily issue of the Times.
When it is known that there are five
steam presses in the basement, eight
engines, three boilers, machine shop,
and between those rooms and the COM
posing room in the sixth story there
there are some 300 men and women
employed, the magnitude of the under
taking begins to dawn upon one. In
brief whole structure was to come
down, a new one to be built, and nei-
Their occupants nor machinery to be
disturbed. This wonderful work has
been accomplished under the direction
of d. II. King, Jr., who erected the
pedestal of the Bartholdi statue, and
the Times has been issued every day
without disturbance. Such are some
of tho marvellous things possible in
this age.

SackViIIe Recalled .

The Lord Sackville episode has been
the sensation of the week, the sensation
of the campaign, in fact. The letter
and statement of the circumstances
that called it out will be found on the
second page of this issue. That the
democrats have been greatly disturbed
by its appearance there was ample ev-
idence before the appearance of Secre-
tary Bayard's report to the president,
which was published yesterday. The
democratic press strongly denounced
the action of the English minister, and
finally President Cleveland caused
himself to be interviewed that his own
position might be understood. The
affair was brought to head Tuesday
when the president informed Lord
Sackville through the secretary of
state, that for causes heretofore made
known to her majesty's government
his continuance in his present official
position in the United States was no
longer acceptable to this government,
and would consequently be detrimen-
tai to the relations between the two
countries. The grounds of this action
on the part of the United States are
stated in report of the secretary of
state to the president, dated the 10Th.
After reviewing the case Secretary
Bayard says -
Thus under his correspondents as
surance of secrecy in which the minis
ter concurred by marking his answer
private" the English minister under
took to advise citizen of the United
States how to exercise the franchise of
suffrage in the election close at hand
for the presidency and vice presidency
of the United States and through him,
as the letter suggested, influence the
votes of many others.
The secretary adds that although
ample time and opportunity has been
afforded Lord Sackville for the disa-
vowal, modification or correction of his
statement to some of which his atten-

California Fruit Pests.

Another report of scientific men has
been made on the cause of the disease
affecting the grape vines of Southern
California, but their investigation and
report is barren of results. They are
unable with microscope to find the in
sect that spoils the vine. This vine
pest, together with the white scale
which is destroying the orange groves
in some localities, makes the outlook
for fruit growing in this heretofore ia
vOred locality, most gloomy. The
Rose orange groves in the San Gabriel
valley, are already nearly destroyed
These have been among the most cele-
brated and extensive groves and vine
yards in all California, attracting thou
sands of tourists in the last 20 years.

ton was called personally by Mr..
Bayard, no such disavowal or modifi-
cation has been made by him through
the channel in which his statements
first found publicity.
The report concludes:
By your direction the attention of
the British government in spirit of
comfy has been called to the conduct
of its minister as above described, but
without result. 1t therefore becomes
necessary for the government to con-
slider whether as guardian of its own
self-respect and of the integrity of it's
institutions it will permit further in
tercourse to be held through the pres
emit British minister at this capital. 1t
is to be observed that presidents are
not wanting as to the question under
consideration. In the present case all
the requirements of comfy have been
fulfilled, the facts having been duly
communicated to her majesty's gov
eminent with an expression of the
opinion of this government in regard
| thereto.

Communication
The Citizens Duty.

The first Tuesday of November is
near at hand when every citizen is called
upon to say by his ballot who shall
stand at the nations head for the next
four years. Are they all ready for the
conflict Will they all be out exercis-
ing their right, or will they stay at
home taking no interest in affairs of
government. Will the citizens of st.
Johnsbury be at the town hall NOvem-
Der with their ballots, or will one
half of them or more stay at home TAX
ing no interest in the matter /? The
check list shows that st. Johnsbury has
1870 voters. 1t is the duty of every
one of these to exercise his right, wheth-
er he acts with the majority or mi
nority, if he is true lover of his
country, which is the claim of every
one. The present election is as i'm
portant as any we have had in the
nations history, and who would not
desire to have the records show that
he was one of the million voters who
took part in the presidential battle OF
1882 Vermont should give Harrison
and Morton electors 10000 plurality
Where were the 400 citizens in ST.
Johnsbury who failed to vote in Sep
tember7 Will they be at the polls in
November and atone for past neglect
Our nation can only be preserved and
it's institutions handed down to future
generations by every citizen discharg-
ing his duty at the ballot box.
The citizens have held no mass meet
ings and have no organization. The
three parties have organized and held
meetings to urge reasons why voters
should sustain various banners. Let me
suggest that the committee of the par
ties get together and call a citizens
meeting to close up the canvass, when
all should be at liberty to take part
and each speaker be expected to give
his reasons for voting for Harrison, oil
Cleveland, or Fisk. CITIZEN.

Shot Himself Before the w.


Albert Dukett of West Bridport
committed suicide at his fathers house
last week, short time before he was
to be married. He went to Port HUI
ron the week before to buy his we'd
ding outfit, but while away visited a
saloon and spent all his money. When
he landed on the Vermont side of Lake
Champlain he bought sack of -four
which he shouldered and then started
for home. He reached home Tuesday
morning; the sack that contained the
-four had burst not far from the house
and young Dukett's mother went out
to gather up the wreck. Dukett sent
all the children from the house, laid
down on a sofa and shot himself in the
right temple. He died in two hours.
He was painter by trade, only 18
years of age and no reason is known
for taking his life.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Editor Pixley of the San Francisco
Argonaut has announced his papers
withdrawal from the American party
and will hereafter devote his entire at

the way, is one of the brightest week

onded Blaine's nomination in 1884 but
has since joined the American party.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Leary says big

Frederick Douglass declares that all
he did was to remark that if Cleveland
was reelected, he didn't propose to
leave the country, in other words in
his judgment Cleveland's reelection
would not necessarily mean the ruin of
the country. Mr.. Douglass thinks,
however, that Harrison will win.
Judge Gresham, responding to ur-
gent requests that he take part in the
campaign for Harrison says, that while
he cheerfully acquiesced in the nomi-
nation of Gen. Harrison and desires the
success of the republican ticket, the
proprieties of the position which he
occupies forbid his taking an active
part in politics. Herein does Judge
Gresham show his sound sense.
DR.. w. S. Webb of New York and

ingtOn, have been exonerated. Chas.
O'Hara was first prosecuted and after
ward his case was dropped and Webb
and Wetmore indicted. Attorney Cen

VT. RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Comprehensive Survey of the Work of
the Board.

Comprehensive Survey of the Work O
the Board.
The first report of the new Vernon
railroad commission is pamphlet o
$50 pages. The members of the board
ex Gov. Samuel E. Pingree, Col. Tru
man G. Fletcher and Henry L. Clark
after an inspection of the mileage al
over the state, ordered several bridges
replaced and others strengthened. The
bridges had been built when locomO.
tives and cars were less pOnderous
and the great weight of modern rolling
stock rendered them unsafe. During
the boards term there has been 10 ac-
cident caused by a defective bridge
The gradual abolition of grade cross
ings is advised, and a general enact
ment requiring the maintenance OF
gates and electric signals. The Yer
mont Valley road is the only one that
has paid dividend during the boards
existence, and during the year ending
June 80, 1888, there have been I2S
miles of new road built.
A law is recommended fining persons
walking on the track without a per-
NIT. The subject of steam heating
and of new means for lighting cars has
been treated at length. The board has
come to the conclusion that the use of
steam from the engine is the safest,
and at the same time the most comfort
able means. They ask for an act to
be passed at this session providing
that it shall not be lawful for any rail-
road in the state, after November |,
1889, to heat it's passenger cars, on
other than mixed trains, by any stove
or furnace inside or suspended from
the car, except in case of accident, or
other emergency requiring the use of
such stove or furnace, with necessary
fuel, while at rest; providing, also,
that in special cases the board of rail-
road commissioners may extend the
time for a period not exceeding one
year from Nov. /, 1889. In the matter
of lighting cars the board advises
law similar to the one passed by the
Massachusetts legislature. Oil of 300
degrees fire test can be used without
danger as household kerosene cannot.
The board believes that the use of cleo
tricity in lighting cars is destined to
be universal, but thinks the various
methods are not yet perfect enough to
warrant legislation compelling it's use.
