NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Brattleboro Phoenix denies
that Col. George W. Hooker is
candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms OF
the Senate. This means, it is hoped,
THAI the genial Colonel will remain
in Vermont.
The Boston Journal of Tuesday
says that deaths by the electric wire
havenow become so common in New
York city that the unhappy end of
poor clerk in a furnishing store who
was instantly killed on Saturday
night while taking showcase from
the sidewalk, receives only few
lines of notice in the local press. In
some way the metallic framework of
the case came into contact with an
electric light wire, and the charge of
electricity entered the poor fellows
arm, with fatal results.

SENA TOR BLAIR'S SARCASM

Senator Blair Of New Hampshire
is a republican, but he is also a tenn
perance man. He has written a let
ter to the New York Mail and Ex-
press since the November elections
which has in it some rich sarcasm,
and altogether is decidedly interest
ing reading. His estimate of the
morals of his own party is unique: -
In Iowa, New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts this temperance business
gave the Grand Old Party no end of
trouble, and it is bound to give it
much more We are just good
enough to lose the rum vote and Just
bad enough to lose the other, and
too sensible to go into the third
party and give the country bodily
for half a century into the hands of
the organized liquor power democrat
cy. Sometimes am inclined to wish
that we were either better or worse;
but, then, l don't know how we can
be either any faster than we are.
The Lord made us and has to get
along with us about as we are in all
parties, and it seems to me that we
ought to endure something from each
other when He bears so much from
us all. Therefore l think that the
keep pegging away" policy is the
right one, and so, good as l am and
so much better as am than most of
the republican party, stick by it, il
lumina ting its pathway by my ex-
ample, and giving the rest some
thing to go by to keep them out of
still worse mischief. l wish that all
good men would stay with me.
What a power of light we might shed
if we would only get together and
concentrate where the people are, in
stead of going off and setting up our
electric lights behind the barn

that its mistatements shall stand
rather than that its infallibility
shall be self-impeached among its
readers by an acknowledgment of its
errors. = Montpelier Waterman,
Dec 4.
The Caledonian did not correct
its statement" for the simple reason
that its statement was true. The
article referred to was written for
the Caledonian while this town was
full of applicants desiring certificates
to teach. They came from all over
this county. There was no other
place or opportunity offered, but on
the contrary the supervisor adver-
TIED broadly that "all persons in
tending to teach in Caledonia coun-
ty] during the winter should attend
this examination"
We noticed that the next Watch
man Informed" the CALIFORNIAN of
FITS error" but knowing there was
no error we thought we would spare
the Watchman's feelings by letting
its error of statement pass unnotic-
ed. Now the Waterman returns to
the assault and says the Caledonian,
though informed of its error, has
not the grace to correct the state
ment."
There may be more than one place
in Washington county where teach
ers' examinations are held, of this we
are not informed but in Caledonia
county, where the criticism referred
to was written, there was but one
such place. The Caledonian will not
now assert that misrepresentation
seems to be the chief weapon" of the
Waterman, but having repeated its
misrepresentation of the Caledonian
in most offensive way we shall now
see if, in its own words, it has the
grace to correct its statement.
