Death of Engineer SorfweH.

Death OF engineer SOrtWeH
The remains of William Sortwell
were brought here for burial last
Thursday Hew to Boston about
10 years ago to work on the street
cars. He soon began the life of a fire
man on the Boston & Lowell road
and in course of time became an en-
gineer He was killed in wreck on
the Lowell road Feb. 5. A locomo-
tive and tender toppled over while on
its way to a way-freight and Sort
we'll was pinioned beneath it. The
fireman, brakeman and a freight con-
ductor, were aboard the engine. The
two former were badly injured and it
is feared will not recover, and the
conductor was scalded. Although a
warning lantern was set up, an ice
train came down the track and col
lided with the locomotive before it
could slow up. The engine was thus
carried some distance along the track
and the engineer was taken with it.
His body was terribly mangled. Mr..
Sortwell had buried his wife about
three years ago and leaves little
girl four years old. His parents live
in Kirby. He was about 80 years
old He was a nephew of D. Sort
well, president of the Montpelier &
Wells River road, who accompanied
the remains to ST. JOhnsbury.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
ton.

The New York Herald has now
daily editions in London and Paris
as we'll as in New York All the edi-
tons are edited by American brains
while James Gordon Bennett paws
the bills. The Herald is a great news
paper.
The bill allowing the people to
vote on the prohibition amendment
to the constitution has passed the
Massachusetts legislature for two
successive years on party vote and
the question will be submitted to the
people in the spring. The friends of
temperance who can easily carry the
day in most of the towns will need
every vote they can raise to over
come the heavy majorities of the
Massachusetts is about to enter up
on lively and novel campaign
The bill organizing the territory of
Oklahama has passed the House and
will probably pass the Senate The
territory is as large as the state of
Ohio and is now half occupied by In
dian tribes. If mo mans land be-
comes territory there will be a rush
for possession from all sections of the
Southwest.
Russell Harrison, son of the presi-
dent-elect, told the citizens of Helena,
Montana, recently that he should
remain there and would not accept
any public Office whatsoever He
then went and bought a daily paper
there assuming mortgages to the
amount OF $4,000. Verify the last
state of that man was worse than
the first.
Congressman Grout has presented
these petitions to the House during
the week for protection to agricul-
ture from the farmers of Middlesex :;
for the branding of skim cheese from
the state dairymen's association; for
a constitutional prohibitory amend
ment from 159 citizens of Barre, from
90 Chelsea citizens, and from 100
Reading citizens.
President Cleveland has signed the
bill to create a department of agri-
culture. The new post of secretary
is the first addition to the cabinet in
40 years. 1t was in 1S49 that the
act was passed creating the depart
ment of the interior
Mr. Blaine desires the acquisition
of Cuba because he believes that if
the United States owned Cuba it

ing owns whose interests are 1dent1-
cal, and the commissioner appointed
from Stowe was not a representative
man or one known at all favorably
in the state. On the contrary, what
reputation he had ought to have dis
qualified him from appointment even
if his locality had not done so. But
one commissioner now was needed be-
sides the Governor and his man from
Stowe, to constitute a majority and
locate the institution at Waterbury.
What chance of success could other
localities have against Waterbury
with the Governor determined to
have the asylum there? He played
with loaded dice and of course won.
With a commission thus constituted,
merit, argument, reason, fairness,
could not expect to prevail. With
himself and Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury.
from the nOrthwesterly section of the
state, he should have considered that
section fully represented and made
the other appointments all from 9th
er parts of the state.
The commission left ST. Johnsbury
on Tuesday, visited Morrisville, left
there Wednesday, visited Burlington
the same day, went to Waterbury
on Thursday and Immediately that
very day voted by a majority of
three to two to locate the asylum at
Waterbury. ST. Johnsbury expected
a further hearing and an opportunity
to offer a site by gift as the act con-
templates, and at the hearing in this
place special request was made that
we have this opportunity, but the
apparently indecent haste of the ma
Grafton and examination, cut off all
opportunity, and intensified the feel
ing that the decision had been made
before the investigation began.
Our section of the state must go to
the west for its agricultural college,
its state university, it's capitol, its
state library, its reform school, its
house of correction and soldiers
home. The eastern part of the state
seems to be disfranchised. 1t can
pay its share of taxes, but it can re-
ceive no favOrs or fair treatment
We supposed that the Governor was
Governor of Vermont He turns out
to be Governor of Waterbury, One
explanation of his conduct is that it
was desirable for the Central Yer
mont K. R., to have the asylum upon
its line SO as to receive the patron
age incident to such an institution,
and that the Governor has long been
very friendly to that corporation,
but the truth probably is that his
desire to favor his own immediate
locality and the local pressure brought
to bear upon him, overcame his good
Judgment and ordinary sense of fair
ness.
We are glad to say that Lieut.
Gov. Woodbury. and Judge Hobson
strongly felt the injustice of Water
bury's claims and opposed that loca-
ton.
