A Great Man.

We builded better than we knew. AL
though Benjamin Harrison was gener-
ally known to be strong and safe man
in every position in which he had been
placed, very few regarded him as a
great man, in the ordinary acceptation
of the term. The ordeal through which
he has passed shows him worthy to be
classed with the great men of America.
Consider first how many candidates for
the presidency began the canvass with
good prospects of success, and. yet ru-
ined their cause by some indiscreet ut
terance. There is no necessity for
naming them, it is within the memory
of living men. And those same candi-
dates pursued policy of studied reti-
cence. Now look at Benjamin Harri-
son. He never obtruded himself upon
the public gaze. He quietly pursued
his vocation in his own city. When
nominated for the presidency by great
political party which, though then the
minority party, had reasonable chances
of winning the race ,-even then he did
not lose his head. AS was inevitable,
thousands of his fellow countrymen
visited him to offer their congratula-
tons, many of them with the purpose
of "making themselves solid" with
the prospective ruler. He was obliged
to make thousands of speeches, short
and long. Not once did he utter a re-
mark unbecoming, or even indiscreet,
not one which the most carping critic
could sheer at. If this is not greatness,
what is?
Another attribute of greatness may
be mentioned if these are not sufficient.
No prominent American, with the pos
sible exceptions of Lincoln and Grant,
ever uttered so many short and pithy
phrases which will live beyond the life
of those who heard them. For instance,
Grant never put more into few words
than did Harrison, few days ago,
when he sent Warner Miller this dis
patch: am greatly grieved at your
defeat. If the intrepid leader fell out
side the breastworks, the column, in
spired by his courage, went on to VIC
tory" Compare this with the inane

investigated facts, cannot err in its
findings or judgment, and a bill is
passed or rejected solely on the strength
of committee report. But committees
are human, and when it becomes APP
parent that the general assembly is
legislating by committee, parties with
an ak to grind, a doubtful measure to
work through, learn just where to put
in their " arguments" where they will
do the most good. The possession of
favorable report soon begins to sus-
tain the same relation to the passage of
a bill that nomination to the lieuten-
ant-governorship used to bear to the
ultimate possession of the governor
ship. Committees that go to "investi-
gate" public institutions, necessity for
bridges, etc., are usually treated we'll
too well, sometimes. Good dinners.
bands of music, personal Establishments,
all exert subtle influence on the judg-
ment. On the whole, it is a good plan
to keep an eye on committees and COM
mittee reports.

Passenger Fares.

The "sophism of averages " was Wig
orously employed in the late national
canvass to show that the Mills bill pro-
posed to make but an insignificant re-
duction in the duties on importations of
foreign merchandise. Some of the rail-
way companies appear to be using aver
ages to make favorable showing of
low charges for local passenger rates.
For the year 1888, only seven roads re-
ported the average of local fares. OF
these, the Central's is 2 AS cents a
mile, Passumpsic 3 l-6 cents, Vermont
Valley 1-3 cents, Wells River cents.
People who have been paying local
fares on the Central express some sur
prise at the low average of that road.
A person in MiddleseX, six miles from
Montpelier, pays 20 cents for ticket
to the capital; one at Waterbury, eleven
miles distant, 40 cents; one at North
field, ten miles distant, 35 cents, and
so on. This is about 1-2 cents mile.
If a person is able to invest $3.50 in a
500-mile ticket, the cost is, not reckon
ing interest and liability to loss, 2 12
cents a mile; if he is able to advance
the money for 1000 miles, the cost is
2 cents. 1t is probably by reckoning
in these special rates, and possibly ex-
cursion fares and the free list, that the
Central's low average is obtained. We
believe, however, that the local fare for
single tickets is considered to be 1-2
cents mile, and this is the practical
fact with the great majority of local
passengers, very few of whom can COM
mand $40 or $3.50 to invest in mile
age ticket. Is not some concession
fairly due to the single-ticket buyer?
Is not this matter of passenger fares
legitimate subject for state regulation,
or at least of legislative inquiry? 1t is
probably true that careful and compe-
tent investigation would convince an
impartial board of inquiry that level
ing down of single fares and leveling
up of the free list to the rank and dig

nifty of paying what those who are be-
yond the pale of favoritism have to pay,
would not injure the roads, but would
effect, in the aggregate, great saving
TO large class of the travelling COM
munity. The passage of DIR. Holton's
bill would be the first step in this direc-
ton.
1t is noticeable that while certain
newspapers which are owned or con-
trolled by railway men are ostenta-
tiously directing public attention to the
low averages " of local fares, they omit
entirely Governor Pingree's very clear
and very wholesome statement, on the
ninth page of the commissioners re-
port, of the duty and obligation of the
companies to the public 1t is one of
the most admirable things in the re-
port, and the public would like to see
the doctrine there laid down applied in
practical way to passenger and freight
rates. On this subject the Vermont
Sentry has the following pertinent COM
ments:
"The MESSENGER is inclined to boast over
the fact that the average rate of local pass
enger fares upon the Central Vermont road
is two cents and eight mills per mile while
every other road in the state maintains
higher rate. This fact appears from the re-
port of the railroad commission and of
course we are not inclined to question its
correctness. There must be some sections
of the Central road over which local passen-
ger fares are surprisingly low, for here
abouts the fares range from cents and
fraction down to 81 cents per mile. On the
Missisquo road the fare from Richford to
St. Adams is S1.10, distance of 2S miles,
or 392 cents per mile; from st. Adams to
Burlington, 80 miles, the fare is Sl.00 or
3.44 cents per mile; from St. Adams to
Sheldon, - miles, the fare is 80 cents or
1884 cents per mile; from st. Adams to
Rouses Point, a distance of % miles, the
fare is S100 or 3 cents per mile from St.
Adams to Rutland the fare averages %
cents per mile These few instances are
not exceptional. In no case of which we
have any knowledge is the local fare as
low as 2 cents and mills per mile except
the traveller rides upon pass or mileage
ticket. And right here comes in the ques-
ton of the right of the road to charge one
passenger 9 cents per mile and his brother
over four cents per mile over the same sec
ton of road, and, worse still, to carry his
neighbor free. The legislature has been
asked by the state convention and by the
governor to right this wrong. The people
are waiting patiently for that body to act in
| the matter"
Probably the Central is not the only
road on which fares might be regu-
lated without injury to the company
and with benefit to the people, but its
newspaper organ directs attention in
so public manner to the matter that
it becomes a fit subject of special no.
tce. A knowledge, too, of the man.
ner in which the averages are made
up would enable one to judge more ac-
curately of the comparative rates on
the different roads.

platitudes which have emanated from
the present occupant of the White
House, and then ask which will live
longer in history, Cleveland or Har-
rison?
Again, in all the speaking and writ
ing on the dominant issue of the can
vass, the tariff, there is nothing supe-
rior to, and little that is comparable
with, General Harrison's mastery treat
ment of the subject in his letter of ac-
ceptance-terse, simple and compre-
hensive, the product of an intelligence
and practical wisdom that disclose the
masterful man of affairs. The country
has reason to hope for great things
from General Harrison-and it will not
be disappointed.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
by WILLIAM T.. D1LLINGHAM,
GOVERNOR.

In conformity with established custom
and in devout recognition Of its holy char
acter, do hereby designate THURSDAY,
THE 10Th DAY OF NOVEMBER, INSTANT, to
be observed as a day of praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for his gracious
dealings with us as a state and as individu-
ais during the year now drawing to close.
1t is fitting that we to whom the lines have
fallen in pleasant places, whose heritage is
peace, prosperity and liberty, should per-
petuate this holy custom instituted by our
fathers while dwelling under the shadow of
pestilence and famine on the shores of a
hostile wilderness, enduring hardship and
danger that humanity might recover its
rights. Let us, therefore, assemble in the
usual places of public worship and ascribe
unto God the honor due his glorious name;
and in the reunion of families and friends,
and in deeds of love and charity, give eX-
preston to the gratitude we feel toward
him in whom we live and move and have
our being.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state, in executive chamber at Mont
pelier, this seventh day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and lightweight, and of
the independence Of the United States

Pay of the Commissioners.

We do not underestimate the value or
importance of the services of the rail-
way commissioners. Good men are
required and the state must pay for
good men. What constitutes adequate
pay was the subject of some discussion
two years ago when the various bills
for creating a commission were under
consideration. The Ripley bill pro-
vided for IS a day and expenses, the
Higbee bill So and expenses. Mr..
Higbee was an active advocate of an
efficient measure and favored very lib
eral compensation. He was probably
the last man in the legislature that
would have taken any risk of gripping
the bill by providing insufficient COM
pensation for the members of the COM
mission. Mr.. Walbridge of Concord,
than whom the commission has no
friend more staunch, introduced bill
early in the session making the pay of
the commissioners six dollars day and
expenses, one dollar higher than the
Higbee bill provided. The railway COM
mittee reported adversely to the Wal
bridge bill, but the house has overridden
the committees report and ordered to
its third reading the bill making the COM
pensation Sc day and expenses. How
does the pay of these officers compare
with that of other officers-members
of the board of agriculture for example?
The latter are appointed to an office
which, in a state whose chief industry
is agriculture, should be of the very
first importance. They should be men
of natural gifts, men of education and
study, rich in practical experience and
competent to lead and to instruct. Is
not this catalogue of qualifications that
should cost? And what does the state
pay its apostles of agriculture? Why,
the munificent sum of two dollars day
and expenses-just one-fourth the per
diem of its railway commissioners. If
this is not practical craftsmanship, what
is? In point of natural ability, general
intelligence, importance of duties and
efficiency in doing their difficult work,
the members of the board are probably
the peers of the members of the COM
mission. 1t is true they are not law
yers, and they may not therefore pos
sess that marvellous acumen that evolved
from the investigation of railway ac-
cident the wonderful moral that " it
is dangerous to walk on the railroad
track" Nevertheless, they are entitled
to consideration; and if the legislature
shall conclude to take off two dollars a
day from the commissioners wages and
add it to the pay of the agriculturists,
we believe that substantial justice will
be done and some regard had for the
relative value and Importance of the
services of the two boards of officers.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, the wires
are saying, is sorely grieved by his de-
feat and attributes his disastrous over
throw to Hills alleged treachery. That
free-trade message, supplemented by
the Mills bill, was more potent factor
of defeat than all the Hills in the uni
verse. When such men as Randall, a
statesman of approved capacity, is sent
into retirement, and the Carlisles,
Millses and Wattersons, the Bayards,
Vilases and Garlands, are pushed to the
fore, it is needless to be casting about
for Jonah to appease the monster of
the democratic deep. Grover Cleve-
land is the architect of his own
downfall. His presidency was the
progeny of folly and accident. His de-
feat is the deliberate sober second
thought of the American people. He
has not the mental or moral stature for
president of this great republic.

So much for the presidency. The
latest information is. to the effect that
the new house of representatives will
be republican by safe majority. This
insures the admission of new states in
the northwest that will add in the
aggregate some fourteen votes to the
republican strength in congress and in
the electoral college of 1892. Having
possession, for the first time for many
years, of the three branches of govern
ment, it will be possible to secure the
enactment of laws that have long been
held in Allowance by the party dead
lock. The victory has put RESPONSE
bility of tremendous weight upon the
republican party. Its leaders and
statesmen have again a grand oppor-
tunity, and, if they use it wisely and
periodically, they will enter, on the
4th of March next, on another long
lease of political power.

The Grand Result.

From the first there has been no
doubt of the result of the late election.
The only question has been the size of
the republican victory. The smoke has
lifted and view of the whole field dis
closes triumph that was not beyond
the patriotic desire of every republican,
but far transcends what the most
sanguine had allowed himself to hope.
The victory grows constantly. Cali
fornia is now conceded to Harrison,
and even West Virginia is said to be
among the republican prophets. The
grand total of the republican electoral
vote is now $50, made up as follows:

SOME facts and phases of two i'm
portant measures now pending in the
legislature are presented in another
column of this paper. 1t seems to us
that there is something worth consid-
ering in the solution of this Grand Isle
question proposed by DR.. Smith-the
annexation of the north towns to Frank
lin county, and south towns to Chitten-
den. The county, some thirty-five
miles long and three miles wide, ex-
tends along the lake like a shoe string
1t was mistake originally in erecting
these islands and the Alburgh PENN
sula into county, and it is costing too
much to maintain so unnatural and I'M
business-like an arrangement. With
the prospect of tax of from twenty to
twenty-five per cent for the next bien-
NAL term, and as the islanders now
have good and substantial connection
with the main land, this scheme of
theirs for another $40 900 bridge should
be at least deferred while.

ONE of the distinguishing features
of the late canvass was the intense per-
sonal interest the working-men took in
the matter of protection to American
industry. 1t was in peculiar sense
their fight. They read a great deal of
tariff literature. They discussed among
themselves the points in the dominant
issue of the struggle, and they had
matter-of-fact way, a directness in
finding their way to right conclusions
that was all their own. Men on the
stump who handled the main question
with the greatest force, simplicity and
clearness had no better listeners than
working-men. And when the election
returns began to come in, the interest
of this class was at white heat. They
hung on the longest for the latest news.
Their expressions of satisfaction were
the most emphatic. Their exultation
had the fervor of individual triumph. 1t
had been their fight and they had won.
