Iaf1 Breakers at ST. AIha :


An exciting jail delivery took place
in ST. Adams Sunday night. Three
prisoners, Brooks, Bertrand and Ri
cord, all charged with theft, asked
Sheriff Marvin to hand them book,
and when returning the same to him
through the open door made break
for liberty. The sheriff backed up
against the outside door to prevent
their escape, when one prisoner took
him by the throat and another fired
revolver at him, but luckily missed
aim. Bertrand and Rieord then fled
through the back door, Brooks leav-
ing soon after by the office door. He
and Bertrand were afterward over
taken at Swanton, where the former
was recaptured; but later got away,
after exchanging several shots, and
is supposed now to be in Canada.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
The November EIections.

From the full returns of the No
vember elections it appears that the
republicans carried three states,
Massachusetts,, Nebraska and Penn
sylvania. These seven states went
democratic, Iowa, Maryland, Miss
issippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio
and Virginia. In Massachusetts It.
Gov. Bracket was elected governor
by plurality of 1884, a great de-
crease from previous years. Nebras
ka went republican by about 90
900, a decided republican gain.
Pennsylvania elected only a state
treasurer and the republican candi-
date was elected by 6O,693. Iowa
elected a democratic governor by
about 5000 majority but the rest of
the republican ticket was elected.
The Legislature is republican by a
very small majority which insures
the reelection of Senator Allison.
Gov Foraker was defeated for a
third term in Ohio by about 1000
and the Legislature remains DEMO-
cratic. New Jersey elects a demo-
cratic governor by II 900 plurality.
New York elected democratic state
officials by $4,000. Maryland and
Mississippi went democratic of
course. Gen. Malone, the republican
candidate for governor, was buried
in Virginia by democratic majority
of ~ 900.

The Coming System of Voting.
The Australian system of voting,
which was tried for the first time in
Massachusetts, appears to have Civ
en- the best of satisfaction and we
hope to hear of its adoption else
where. 1t is undoubtedly the COM
ing system of voting in this country
and all who are DESTROYS of preserv-
ing the purity of the ballot will her
aid the day, when its use becomes
general, with expressions of joy

What the Lottery is Doing.
1t is said that during September
over 5000 worth of Louisiana lot
terry tickets were bought by resi-
dents of Bellows Falls, and that only
about SIS worth of prizes were
drawn. These people belong to the
large class that will be making drafts
on the local charitable societies for
assistance before the winter is over
and they in all probability belong to
that other and possibly larger class
who are talking about the irnpossi-
bility of making a living in Yer
mont Burlington Free Press.
Vermont Needs Ballot Reform.
The success of the law in Massa-
chusetts makes it only a question of
time when it will be generally adopt
ed. By every man is assured entire
secrecy and is privileged to vote just
as he pleases New Hampshire has
been awaiting the results of the
Massachusetts experiment before
adopting the reform system. There
is the same need for such a law in
Vermont as in either Massachusetts
or New Hampshire, though not to so
great degree perhaps, and it is sure
to come sooner or later Burling-
ton Free Press.
Vermont Should Follow Suit.
The merits of the Australian sys-
tenn, so-called, should be thoroughly
ventilated in the state before the
next Legislature assemblies and some
well-considered measure should go
before that body for action Yer
mont cannot afford to be behind in
this matter. A perfectly secret bal
lot is as necessary in our towns as in
the large cities. The time has gone
by for the charge that the Australian
system is cumbersome and obstruc-
tive to voting. 1t has been too often
and too successfully tested.-[Bel-

The West never tires of nagging
New England about its poverty and
conservative ways, but when the
people out there have a town to
boom, a mine to develop, a railroad
or factory to build, they rush right
back to New England for the funds,
and the worst of it is they generally
get them. The asserted fact that
$4,000 was lately subscribed at
Windsor in one day for cotton mill
in Texas is the immediate cause of
this remark.
