NEWS OF THE WEEK.
The Grand Army Encampment.


The national encampment of the
Grand Army of the republic at Mil
waukee was held last week Among
the persons of note in the city were
Gen. Sherman, Gen. Alger, Commits
sioner Tanner, and Mrs John A. Lo-
gan. The parade on Tuesday was
fine spectacle and a complete success.
There were upwards of $4,000 men
in the marching column. On Wednes-
day there were upwards of 200 regi-
mental reunions. At the soldiers
home for disabled veterans, where
upwards of $4,000 people were as
sembled, brief address was made
by Gen. Sherman. At the election of
officers for the coming year, Gen.
Russell A. Alger of Detroit was cho-
sen commander. 1t was voted to
hold the next encampment in Boston.
The following resolution was passed
on Thursday:
That we thank President Harrison
for the appointment of our comrade,
James Tanner, as commissioner of
pensions, and that notwithstanding
the assault made on him, we declare
our complete confidence in his integ-
rity, and our approval of his endeav-
ors to do all that can be done under
the laws for the veterans of the war );
and in connection with him we ask
full investigation of his administra-
ton of the affairs of the pension bu-
reau.
1t was adopted under suspension
of the rules, unanimously, amid great
cheering. Thursday evening there
was naval battle on Milwaukee
bay. 1t was magnificent spectacle,
being participated in by about 60
vessels, besides a stationary mortar
fleet, and by about 5000 infantrymen
and artillerymen.

POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.

In his first annual report to PreSl-
dent Harrison Observation-Disclosures
Wanamaker will recommend a sys-
tenn of postal telegraphy for the
United States. 1t is his intention
to have the system operated in con-
nection with the Western Union tele-
graph company. The president OF
the company favors the scheme be-
cause he believes it will firmly es-
tablish the Western Unions monop-
oily of the telegraph business. Mr..
Wanamaker thinks it will great
improve postal facilities, and so
greatly enhance his reputation. If
the system is to be inaugurated only
to boom a man who raised $500, 900
to a campaign fund and to strength
en- the grip of a great monopoly the
public will not receive it enthusiast
caIlv. But Great Britain has made a
success of it and perhaps this country
will, especially if it is separated from
the Western Union company.

PROMOTING LIEUT-GOVERNoRs.

The Vermont Waterman, printed
at Montpelier, desires to obtain a
Consensus of opinion" of leading
Vermont republicans on the question
whether it shall be the policy of the
party to return to the practice which
prevailed from 1878 to 1886 of ele-
waiting the lieutenant governor to
the governorship. The Waterman
puts the case in the following way,
and asks for definite replies
Prior to 1878 only three lieutenant
governors in Vermont had been pro-
noted from the office of lieutenant
governor to the gubernatOrial chair
without an intervening election. In
1873, this old rule of nOn-promOtion
was broken by the promotion of
Lieutenant Governor Redfeld Proc
tor to the governOrship, and from
that time to 1886 all lieutenant gov
errors except one, Cotton, who had
left the state, were promoted direct
to the gOvernorshlp.
In 1886, the contest for the lieuten-
ant governorship at the republican
state convention was between Col.
Franklin Fairbanks, of st. Johns
bury, and Col. Levi K. Fuller, of
Brattleboro. At that time Col. 6.
w. Hooker, in presenting the name
of Col Fuller, referred to the prac-
tice of promoting lieutenant govern
ors to be governors without an in
tervening election, as an unw1se and
unpopular one, and one which was
liable to give the state a lower grade
of governors than under the old sys-
tenn, and told the convention that
the new rule could be then broken
and the old rule re-estab lished by
nominating Col. Fuller, as he was
authorized to say that Col. Fuller
would not, in the event of his nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor, be a
candidate for promotion at the next
convention. The suggestion was re-
ceived with prolonged applause, and
resulted in Col. Fuller's nomina ton
by a large majority.
The matter in question is now I'M
der quite general discussion through
out the state. Is is argued by some
that no bad results have come from
the practice of promoting the lieuten-
ant governors to the governorship,
and that the state may safely return
to the custom at the next convention.
Others maintain that to return to
the custom at this time is to re-es-
tablish it indefinitely, because, hav-
ing returned to this rule, it would be
invidious not to promote to the gov
ernorship whoever may be nominal
ed for lieutenant governor, and con-
sequently that its re-establishment
would not be conducive to the best
welfare of the state.

The Burlington Free Press did a
very creditable piece of newspaper
work on the railroad disaster near
Middlebury- Thereport was full and
particular and was written in such
a graphic and readable manner as to
makea story of thrilling interest.
The nomination of Judge Wheelock
G. Veazey of Rutland as interstate
commerce commissioner is very ia
vorably received on all sides. There
was strong pressure brought upon
President Harrison to appoint a
western man but Judge Veazey was
finally appointed. The choice is an
excellent one and the office will be
ably filled by the new incumbent.
