FRIDAY, MAY II, 1889.
NOT MORE, BUT LESS.

The formation of new county, to be
composed of the towns of Dover, Hall
fax, Whitingham, Somerset and Whining
ton in Windham county, and Readsboro,
Stamford and Searsburg in Bennington
county, with Wilmington as the county
seat, is proposed by the Deerfield Valley
Times.
The Times proposition is preposterous.
Vermont already has too many petty di-
visions and too many cheap offices. If
the whole State were divided into, say,
four counties-two on each side of the
mountains. the public interest would be
quite as we'll served as now, and at less
expense.

Col. Brice and Roswell p. Flower
''though rich, are by no means pluto
Gratis" say the low-taritf Democratic pa
pers, and either can consistently be
chosen chairman of the national commit
tee. Is rich Democrat ever plutocrat?
-rSpringfied Republican.
The Republican should have been able
to evolve an answer to its question out of
its inner consciousness. No Democrat
ever got to be plutocrat. They are all
Republicans, and they never earn the ap-
pelation, always bestowed by Democratic
journals, till they get into the cabinet,
the Senate or some other prominent
place; then the Democratic organs, which
do not understand the distinction be-
tween argument and abuse, begin to fire
this at them. But the Republican party
seems to be prospering nevertheless.
The fact is, the people of the country AS
a whole don't care a cent whether the
public offices are filled with rich men or
poor men, if the holders of these offices
do their duty. Americans have too much
sense to hate man because he is rich
or to despise him because he is poor.

AN OPEN QUESTION.

We publish in another column an anon
ymous catalogue, not because it has any
sense, but to show mild form of the
meanness of Mr.. Anonymous. The dial
ogue lacks sense for the reason that the
facts which he assumes to exist had no
existence. Mr.. Hasseltine is, we believe,
a member of the Masonic fraternity, and
so were some members of the board
which chose him supervisor. But all the
Masons on the board did not vote for him
on any ballot and part, and we think
majority, of his votes were cast by those
not MasOns. Hence there is no basis for
the catalogue" But the spirit of it
shows to what lengths the anonymous
correspondent will go if given rope
1t is an open question in newspa-
per offices which is the more des-
picable, the fellow who wants to abuse
another under an assumed name or no
name at all, or the person who attempts
to get advertising for nothing. We in
cline to favor the first-named. The lat
ter is simply avarcious, while the former
is what they of the South would call
low-down". The anonymous man
wants to stab in the dark. He isn't par
ticular about his facts, for, no one know
ing who he is, there is nobody to call to
account. He often tries to overawe the
the public by taking a high-sounding
name; but as a rule Mr.. "Pro Bono
Publico" has infinitely more interest in
gratifying petty spite than in serving
the public; Mr.. "Citizen'', who is so So
licitous to save the public funds, may
pay poll tax, but the probabilities are
against his contributing more than that
to the public treasury, while ten to one
Mr.. Authority" has always been care
fully kept by his fellow citizens in that
private obscurity for which his talents
so well fit him.

Burlington, got under the wheels of a
train near the station in that city on FRI
day and was killed. His wife had been
sent to the House of Correction at Rut-
land few days before for selling rum,
and he got on the train to send some
things down to her by an officer who was
going down with other prisoners. At
King street, few blocks south of the
station, he attempted to get of and was
run over, one leg was cut off and the
skull crushed Gov Dillingham; has
conditionally pardoned Mrs. Narcotic.

This probate district needs probate
Judge. The Office has now been vacant
for more than two weeks, and Mr.. Geo.
f. Knapp, the register will leave town
tomorrow. Then there will be no one
with authority to do any sort of probate
business.
The office is one of considerable impor-
tance, but Gov. Dillingham; oughtnt to
require all summer to fill it. The prom
inent candidates are all respectable men,
and if he hits upon one whom the district
doesn't want a change can be made at
the next election, which comes a year

SENDS, ANONYMOUSLY, THIS
"DIALOGJE,
Translated from the creek,

Translated from the creek.
"Tell me, Aristodemus," said Socrates,
"what virtues do you think most becom-
ing a citizen of a free Republc?'
"Patriotism. and an honest regard for
the public welfare, think most becom-
ing,
hibited?'
"Doubtless by willingness to sacrifice
private interests for the public good.''
"What do you call private interests
and what public?'
"Those are private interests, indeed,
that pertain to each individual, and those
public which pertain to society at large
"Give an example of what you under
stand by private interest and what by
public INTEREST,""
"Doubtless the acquisition of wealth
and honor is private interest, and the
selection of good officers and the proper
training of youth are public interests
"Then should the acquisition of wealth
and honor be sacrificed by good citizens
to the proper selection of officers and the
training of youthY'
"Undoubtedly so," said Aristodemus.
"But tell me-" said Socrates, sin what
manner good citizen might prefer the
ClcNliOl VI u plOPSi OiiiNCi W tiiC bNuulsl-
ton of wealth.
"IIe might do so by refusing bribe to
vote for an underservng candidate"
"Are there different kinds of brbes?'
"There are. Such as money, or the
expectation of benefit to ones self or
ones friends"
"WOuld you call citizen voting for
an improper candidate because he was a
friend, a bribe-taker?"
81 should think him not otherwise,
since he neglects the public interest for
a private good"
"But whom do you call friends; those
only who are kindred? Or would you
include those also who belong to the
same secret society,""
~ should include those also who be-
long to the same society"
'But may not good citizen vote for a
friend without bribery
undoubtedly he may if he be the best
candidate?"
"How, then, could you determine
whether citizen was influenced by prop
er motives, or whether he was bribed to
vote for a candidate unfit for the office p
II should say that if all the members
of secret society voted for one of their
number, and no others voted for him,
that it would be reasonable to conclude
that they were influenced by motives un-
becoming good citizen"

It's loose ballot laws but they have al
ways failed for lack of support from

passed this year, in face Of the strongest
opposition from political managers and
tricksters, is an evidence that public
opinion is being pronounced against
corrupt elections, that better times
await us and that we may yet live to
see the vile and corrupt schemes Of

AS q result of the inves tigation at the
Rochester Hospital, DR.. Bowers has
been laid on the shelf and his services
as superintendent of the asylum form
ally disposed of. No one will think
that he was implicated or that he could
even wink at such a crime, but that
other abuse and mismanagement pre-
vailed and that he feared the investiga-
ton that must follow the unearthing of
such startling facts is too evident. He
knew that the hospital was not the well
managed institution that it appeared
and he preferred to be an accessory to
the concealment of a huge crime rather
than have his charge hauled over.
The management of these institutions
have had things altogether too much
their own way. Too long service has
made them negligent and untitled them
for the positions of trust they hold.
The fimsy excuse of DR.. Bowers, for
not reporting the matter as he should
have done, that it had slipped his mind,
fully illustrates how far they have at
tanned in recklessness and how much
too long they have been allowed to feed
off of Offices that they are unfit to fill.
They should all be looked into and if
there are wrongs they should be raked
up and remedied.

The investigation at the Rochester
hospital is still in progress and we are
learning lots that we ought to have
known before. Now that the ball has
once been started stories Of cruel treat
ment are not slow in coming to light, and
the institution, instead Of being home
for the rational cure Of mental diseases
and a humanitarion treatment of fellow
beings who have lost all reason, ap-
pears rather in the light of one where
the managers and attendants them
selves have become so hardened as to
be lost to all charity and sympathy.
Long acquaintance with misery and
suffering has untitled them for duties
which require the most delicate and
scientific treatment, and il is time we
were thoroughly acquainted with the
way things are being run in our asylum.
With what feelings must the legisla-
tive and special correction committees
look upon their mock investigation Of
the hospitals some two months ago.
They can certainly see it now if they
couldn't then, that the whole business
was farce from beginning to end. As
they were carted through the halls ev-
erything seemed to them to be in good
keeping. To them the place looked
like one from which abuse was as far
off as from Paradise, and yet horrible
murder had just been committed there
and the management at the time were
planning its concealment. This ought
to be enough to show that thorough in
spection by committees and trustees is
impossible. Some means should be af-
forded of placing special agents Of the
state to act as employees at the hospi-
tails and perhaps thensome knowledge
Of the inside workings Of the institutions
could pc got at.

Keplantins a Tooth.

Abont two weeks ago. Willie, son of
DR.. J. E. Jaquette, dentist Of Woods
town, fell from horse which he was
riding around the yard of the doctors
residence, and landing underneath the
animal, was struck by the horses hoof,
breaking off two of the upper front
teeth, one of which was knocked out.
The doctor was informed at once of the
accident, and after securing the tooth
that had been dislodgea, concluded
that he would endeavor to replace it,
as the teeth were permanent ones, and
unless the missing one was replaced,
no more would grow in. The tooth
was prepared and inserted in the
socket, being kept in place by means
of ligatures, and in few days the sue
cess of the operation was assured. The
tooth now, while not quite as firmly
imbedded as before, has taken a firm
hold, and will soon be as solidly i'm
planted as any of the others.
