From the Woodstock Standard.
The campaign in this State, which COM
pleted its first and decisive stage with the
late state convention, has confirmed the
understanding of two years ago and clear
ed the political atmosphere OF the feeling
that nomination for lieutenant governor
carries with 1t Il claim TO the gubernator-
ial nomination AT the next biennial CON
vention. Because there had been no au-
thoritative declaration on the subject
fears were entertained down to a compar.
atively late day that the promise made
in Mr., Fuiler's behalf was not to be Kept,
but the deep seated aud universal deter
mutations 10 take new departure
was sucn as TO discourage any attempt
to continue the practice of several pre-
cpdlng campaigns II any one had a de
sire To do so. 1t is now firmly estab-
lished that the law of Succession must find
no foothold in our system-that the fact
of holding one Office shall not he an al
vantage III seeking another office. ASpl-
rants must eut-r the field on their merits,
the wholesome rule in all cases, and abide
the results Of the canvass. This Is a great

TIE MASONIC TEMPLE AGAIN.
An Ohicer of the Grand Lodge Gives His
Opinion In the Matter.


TO the Editor of the Free Press
| notice that the Rutland Herald com
ments as follows on the proposed Masonic
temple
Rutland MasOns declare that they will not
assist IN the erection OF a Masonic temple at
Burlington and will do all they can to Il feat
he pr ject. H. is uude rrtoOd hat none OF
the committee of the grand lodge is in favor
of Tho erection o. temple in Burlington, so
that the meeting that has been called will
probably prove tzzie.
The statement that none Of the commit
tee appointed by the grand lodge is
favorable to building a Masonic temple in
Burlington is undoubtedly as correct as
some Of the other statements in the above
Rutland MasOns are good men and true,
and the editor of the Herald must be
straiuing his Imagination To the ut
most when he says that they declare
they will not assist in building the temple
in Burlington. If it should be decided
that the proper place to erect Masonic
temple is Burlington by the majority of
the Masons of the State. which no doubt
will be done in time, the same as it was
decided year ago that Burlington was
the hest and most convenient place for all
to hold the annual communication of the
Grand Lodge o. Vermont, it is safe TO say
that the bret hren of the mystic tie in
Rutland will do their part as they always
have done and will not be prompted to
dssension by the quill of the editor of the
Herald. ID. n. \.

KNIGHTS FOR PROTECTION.
Proceedings at Their District Convention
Tending to Show the act.

From the Rutland Herald.
1t is reported tnat at the district conven-
ton of the knights of Labor, held IN Nor
gan's Hall on Tuesday afternoon and ev-
ening, the convention requested Thomas
H. Brown to resign his position as district
master workman. This action, it is said
was taken because Mr.. Brown has been
advocating free trade and has been ad-
dressing democratic Publications. After
considerable discussion the matter was
compromised, aud Mr.. Brown still holds
his Office. Every assembly in the district
was represented at the convention, and,
as each assembly is entitled to from one To
three delegates, the proceedings related
above. tend to shoT that majority of the

RIVERS AND HARBORs
Report Of the Years Work in New York
and Vermont.

Major M. b. Adams, corps Of engineers,
has made report of the years work on
rivers and harbors in Vermont and New
York. In regard to the improvement of
Ogdensburg harbor, n. Y, he says that
1895 cubic yards of mud, So yards of
gravel and three large boulders have been
removed from the channel at cost OF $685.
600, and that about the same amount still
remains to be removed, most of which is
in the city front of the channel An ap-
preparation of $4,000 is therefore aske
for dredging operations. There were no
operations during the year for the im.
provement of Grass river at Massena, n
Y, because of a lack of funds, and $l7, $50
Is stated rs u sum that could prontaDly be
be expended on the work during the com
ing year. Operations at the breakwater at
Rouses POint,u Lake Champlan, New
York have been carried on in accordance
with the original plan of 1885 and
Mayor Adams says the good effects
of this Improvement are apparent alol K
the town front by the comparative
calmness of the water there now during
southeasterly storms which formerly
caused considerable commotion. Future
operations contemplate the construction
of straight breakwater of rubble and
large stone extending from Stony Point
III the general direction OF the southern
point of the six foot curve south of Wind
Mil Point until the Is foot curve is reach
ed, A total distance of about 20 600 yards
The estimated cost OF the break water was
$4,000 and the sum now required TO com
pete it is S55, 0OO.
Other estimates for next YEARS work are
as follows: Swanton river, VT, $4,000
breakwater at GOrdon's Landing, Lake
Champain, $l9,409: Burlington harbor
Vt, $4,000; Plattshurgh harbOr, \. Y, re-
pairing breakwater aud dredging, $4,000
Otter creek, VT, $1,000.
Major Adams says it will take S305l 70
complete the improvement of TiconderOga
river, n. Y, according to the original pro
ject, and IL is questionable with him
whether the river is worthy of improve
ment He there ore asks tor no further
appropriation for this river. The opera
tions at the narrows at Lake Cham plain
during the year bad for their objects the
removal of such DISTINCTIONS in the chan
mel between Whitehall, n. Y, and Ben
son Landing, VT, a. will afford at least
a depth OF II feet and al least width of
II ieet. There are now II $50 available
for the work, and an appropriation of
$4,000 is asked for its COM letion during
the next year

In speech at Danville, Ind, some
months ago, Gen. Harrison used the fol
lowing language
" want to say this; there may have

all who near me to day that when the plat

the law, and therefore we are against II,

Gen. Harrison then went on to make a
strong apheal for enfoIc .ment of the eX-
listing statutes rs the avenue TO something
better, His words were as follows;
