Was the Cause of Robert Wlggins' Arrest
and subsequent Death.
AT the Coroner's inquest yesterday on the
body Of Robert Virgins, who died at the work
house Thursday, where he had been sent for 80
days by Mayor Pearson, it was developed that
his crazed actions while drunk were due to en-
cry dust lodged in his brain during the explo-
sion at Willey's planning mill. Liquor aggra-
waited the trouble in his head caused BY the
presence of the dust. and finally resulted In his
death by convulsions.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

State officers were elected in 10
states Tuesday OF these Colorado,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia chose
governors, while all of them and
Maryland, New York and Pennsyl-
vania elected one or more minor
state officials
The result of the election was a
complete surprise, as only Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania are republic
can, Colorado is in doubt, and the
rest are democratic. Bracket had a
small majority for governor in Mas
sachusetts, Malone is buried in Vir-
ginia by 10000, and Gov Forakeris
defeated in Ohio The result of the
election must be felt in Washington
and the republican party have got
some work before them to keep in

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

From the prospectus of Harper s
Monthly for 1890, printed on the
second page, it will be seen that the
editors have laid out a rich literary
program for the year. The publica-
ton of a French novel in an Ameri-
can magazine is fully in keeping with
the enterprise of this popular month
ly, while Shakespeare illustrated will
be sure to please.
The Century for 1890 will have
the autobiography of Joseph Jefferson
which began in the November num-
Der. The many friends of George
kennan will be glad to know that
he will write the coming year. Fur

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Congress meets on Monday, Dec.
4, and many of the congressman are
already setting their faces toward
Washington. President Harrison
has written the first draft of his
message and the cabinet is consider
ing the message. The abolition of
the tobacco tax, the passage of the
Blair educational bill, liberal steam
ship subsidies and liberal amend
ments to the pension laws, with gen
erous appropriat tons for the navy,
make up his principal recommended
tons. Considerable interest is taken
by the republican leaders as to the
Presidents Southern policy They
claim he is committed against new
federal election law, believing that it
is better to win than to coerce the
South. If his message is folio we'd up
in Congress there is a prospect of
some pretty sharp debates, as the re-
publicans have not been united on
these SUBJECTS IN the past.
BALLOT REFORM IN VERMONT
Ballot reform is certain to demand
the attention of the next Legislature :;
and if it is defeated, it will be because
professional politicians are more
powerful than the people. The seeds
are sown; and, though the day of
fruitiOn may be deferred, it is bound
to come Rutland Herald.
The Caledonian heartily endorses
the Herald's position on ballot re-
form, believing that this is a matter
of great Importance The Australian
ballot system was inaugurated by
the English colonists in Australia in
their Legislature of 1S57-5S. Since
then it has been adopted in Great
Britain, Canada, Belgium, and with
some mOdifica lions in Austria, Hun
gary, France, Italy and Greece.
Eight states in this country have
adopted this system and it was sue
cessfully tried in Massachusetts on
Tuesday. Vermont needs the system
even if it has no large cities or manu-
featuring centres. Public sentiment
creates legislation and public senti-
ment ought to be strong enough to
demand of the Legislature of 1890 a
ballot reform bill. Let the state
press drop this misleading talk about
our mis-named abandoned" farms
and agitate ballot reform legislation.
Just why the Montpelier Waterman
is throwing cold water on the move
